For these reasons the bootblacks as a pro-
fession possess our admiration and respect; but
because we would be Of service to them we
must insist that they administer their newly

for law and order, but for their own best wei
fare They should reflect that a shine can be I'M

formed I'm the recesses Of barber shop or other

remember also that sidewalks do not exist pri-
marily for the transaction of business, and that
numerous vacations which now pay rent are In
trinsicay as well entitled to escape that burden
as the industry of bootbacking. These and other
considerations which will occur to citizens pos
sessinc the character and attachments requisite,
as we assume for admission to the league, we
recommend to their careful and dispassonate
attention. 1t Is thus that human progress Is ac-
complished and the millennium brought within

REPUBLIC AND EMPIRE.

The Franco-Gern,an war anniversaries are not
yet all celebrated. Those Of Gravelotte and Sedan
have been, and there will scarcely be any more
important. All, however. will receive attention,
including the fall Of Metz, the capture Of Paris
and the browning Of William Of Prussia as Ger
man Emperor at Versailles. 1t Is a great time
for Germany, and for all Germans; especially for
the great ex-Chancellor. 10 whom, Of all men
living or dead, is due most Of the honor and for
the little Emperor to whom none is due, but upon
whom all Is reflected. Germans have cause to
glory in the heroic deeds of twenty-five years ago.
They have cause. too to rejoice in the legacy left
by those old heroes to the present time. In spite
Of many evils, the Empire has been for their
good; and all well wishers Of the German people
may hope for its preservation, under a wise ad-
minisratiOn, until such time as 1t shall be trans
formed into the United States Of Germany.
The anniversaries are not, however. all upon
one side. France has them, too, though 10 be far
differently observed. There are few bright days
and many dark ones. There are memories Of
some victories but Of many defeats. There are
memories Of treason, Of humiliation, Of dsmem-
berment. and OF the Kaiser march played under
the Arch Of Triumph. Yet on the whole France
has the better Of 1t all The Republic is older than
the Empire. 1t was not proclaimed In an hour

Mr.. CROKERS NEW PHILOSOPHY.

At what fountain-head Of wisdom and phlloso-
ply has Mr.. Croker been drinking deep draughts
during his sojourn in England? He has been
gone only six months, and those six months
have been ruffied by stormy episodes that would
disturb the equanmity Of philosophers OF much
longer standing than he yet almost as he de-
sends the steamers gangplank he delivers him
self of a new theory OF ife-an epcurean phil
osophy that was never taught In Fourteenth-st.
II am out of politics for good, for all time, de-
clares Mr.. Croker There is no fun in 1t. ones

| .hooyes us all to make the most or H.
Here is a change indeed, Out Of politics be-
couse there is no fun in it, Did Mr.. Croker
ever look upon the practice of politics as fun !
Did he imagine that in all these years he was
pursuing FUN" in the sordd surroundings OF
Fourteenthst., only to have 1t elude him, wiii-o :
tbe-wisp-like. even in the midst Of his greatest
triumphs? And finally, having proved to himseii
how hollow those triumphs were, how utterly
destitute of all vestiges of fun, did he Detake
himself 70 the home Of his ancestors and the
British turf TO make the most OF the tlme re-
naming to him after his vain search? The gen
cral impression among the taxpayers Oh new
York Is the reverse Of this We dare say that
even in the councils Of Tammany Hall the I'M
preston has also prevailed that Mr. Croker has
not been in politics for fun, or even for his
health His cheerful avOwal at this stage or his
career that he intends to stay out Of the game IN
the future on account of its lack OF amusing
qualities will be received with some traces or
doubt and disbelief There are many other good
reasons why Mr. Croker should stay out, any
one of which would have been accepted with
much less scepticism.
ON the other hand, Mr.. Croker's dictum as 70
the brevity Of our stay In this world and the de-
STABILITY OF making the most Of 1t will be re-
ccived with general appreciation. 1t will be wei
coined by the taxpayer and will be considered
particularly opposite, we have no doubt, by the
many members Of Tammany Hall whose exer-
tons on behalf Of their political faith nave Deen
no less strenuous than Mr.. Cookers and equally
devoid Of fun" but far less richly rewarded In
a pccuniary sense than his and who have not yet
succeeded in amassing the means TO make the
most OF it," either by visiting the homes OF their
ancestors or by Drawing the British horseman
ON his native turf There is pretty widespread
opinion in Tammany Hall that so long as Rich
ard Croker Is in politics in Fourteenth-st. there
is little hope for any other members OF the or
ganization rcapng any reward that would seem
at all adequate in case Tammany Hall should be
returned TO power in NewYork.

In the old price list of Tammany. which included
the market rate Of every office in the city, nigh
and low, and the cost Of immunity for all grades

rate for the destruction Of a criminal indictment
was $500, just the sum which policeman had to
pay to get on the force. The finding Of several
thousand Of these hidden and suppressed docu-
ments in the District-Attorney's office points to
the hiding and suppression Of many more. and also
indicates a new source of Tammanys overfowing
revenue in the older time. No wonder 1t Is be-
