Richard Croker is an authority on
"practical politics" aud "machine
politics" Considerable Importance,
therefore, attaches to the view which
he expresses that machine politics
nre the kind to win with. He should
have said SIS of course, but he and
the grammar are not intimate friends.
1t is important to remember, however,
that there are distinctions and diff
ferences which Mr.. Croker does not
always make. Organization is UNI
doubleday necessary in politics. When
men think alike they cooperate.
When they cooperate they organize,
and through the organization form
permanent committees to represent
them when they are not prepared to
speak collectively. All this is neces-
sary in practical politics, aud it is
quite true that it is necessary to
be practical in politics as everywhere
else. This is nothing more than saying
that in politics, as everywhere else,
the best way to do things is to do them
in the best way. But when commit
tees usurp and abuse power they be-
come machines, and when this power
passes into the hands of some one
particular autocrat he becomes what
is colloquially called "boss." When

NEW YORK LETTER.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE, |

That dainty little Dresden china
husband of Anna Gould, Count Boni-
face de Castellane, is acquiring quite
a reputation in the French papers on
account of his appearance at the races
at Deauyille. 1t was not anything
that Count Bonnie did that got him 80
ettectually into the public eye, but it
was what he wore. No woman ever
had her gowns described more accu-
rately than are the toys of the Gould
son-in-law. On one occasion he wore
"a complete suit of white drill, of
which the coat was an elegantly fitting
redingote."
On another occasion he wore "white
trousers and jacket, but no waist
coat, high, black silk belt draping
his waist and outlining heliotrope
finely plated cambria shirt, sprigged
with white and studded with tiny
pearls. His cravat was a shade or two
darker than the shirt, and neatly tied
in a short bow under the white linen
turn down collar. His sailor hat of
coarse yellow straw was broadly band
ed with black gros grain ribbon"
Could anything be more lovely? If
the spirits of the departed can really
come back to earth and realize what
the living are doing, how proud, in
deed, must Jay Gould be of such Il
son-in- law as this.

Typhoid fever begins to figure
prominently in the list of prevalent
diseases, as it always does at this sea-
son of the year when people are re-
turning to the city from the noun
tains and seashore. There is appar-
emily no logical connection between
these two occurrences, but it is fact
that typhoid is far more prevalent
here in September and October than
in any other months of the year, and
it behooyes people to look well to
their surroundings, and particularly
to the sources OF their food supplies.

The declaration of the Police Com
missioners that it is violation of the
the Excise law to serve member of II
club with liquor on the club premises
Oh Sunday puts m entirely new phase
on New York club life. Some of
these organizations huve not met the
situation by ordering their bars to be
closed today, while others have sus-
pended the rules under which visitors
are admitted, and only members will
be allowed in the buildings during
those hours in which the sale of liquor
in saloons is forbidden. The exclu-
sion of visitors seems to be evelled at
the Police Department stool pigeons
If the club bars are closed
there does not appear to be any reason
why strangers should not view the
dreary rooms. 1t is understood by
the police that the exclusion of non
members is simply to prevent the pos.
sibility of any of them informing of
Excise law violations. While many
house committees have adopted strin-
gent measures not to be caught selling
liquor, it would be hard to find com
mittee that believes the Excise law APP
plies to such organizations as theirs.
The position of the police is that the
laws do apply, and they will make M
rests of club stewards and club wait
ers whenever they can get the evil
dence-until the courts decide against
them. KNICKERBoCKER

such Il machine and such boss are
pltted against the people machine
politics and boss politics are not the
kind to win with. That, we
think, has been sufficiently dem.
onstrated. If Mr.. Croker doubts
it let him refresh his memory with
The World Almanac. And this indi-
Gates one of the distinctions and diff
ferences that Mr.. Croker does not
always keep in mind.
The statistics of other cities sup.
port the figures published, showing
that the primary schools are the CEN
tire OF pressure not only in New York,
but throughout the country. In edu.
cation as elsewhere the rule holds
that there is "room enough at the
top" In the schools there is room and
to spare. The high schools are we'll
attended, but nowhere overcrowded.
The upper grades of the grammar
schools contain few children in COM
parison with the thousands who crowd
around the doors OF the primary
schools. Taking the country through
it is doubtful if one in 500 of those
who enter the first grade of the prim-
AIRY schools completes the high school
course. The great majority-a majo-
rity that will not be far from Is per
cent for the schools of any city-drop
ont before going through the higher
grades of the grammar schools. The
demand is for primary educa-
tion-for knowledge of reading,
writing and counting. And it
is literally demand. The great
pressure on the lower grades.-a pres
sure they are nowhere prepared to
sustain-shows how great is the anxi-
ETY. among the masses to secure the
keys of knowledge. The pressure of
poverty, the exigencies of precarious
living, shorten the school life of the
average child to few years spent in
the lower grades. But in this
time he can learn to read newspapers,
magazines and books, and SO to go on
educating himself through his whole
life. That is indeed the ultimate OBJ
ject of all schoos--to make self-edu-
cation possible. SO that it cannot be
said that the State is wronging chill
dren if it gives them opportunity to
learn no more than the rudiments. If,
however, it denies them that, it denies
them everything, and has no right to
hold them responsible either for ig-
norance or the results OF ignorance.
