lily did such an opportunity present itself
to show that Russia was growing in the
direction of right and justice, but the
young Emperor, too, fails to see that a
Jew has any rights that the Government
of Russia is bound to respect. 1t is to be
lamented that Nicholas could not bring
himself in touch with Ioftier and truer
principles of government than his father
entertained, but he has not, and he will
feel the consequences of his blindness and
heartlessness in the affairs of his empire.
His people cannot acquire the elements OF
true manhood while wearing the yoke OF
the Governments prejudice, and it must
follow by the very nature OF things that
progress in Russia will continue at snail
pace. Nicholas had the opportunity to
crown himself with the glory of human
kindness. as taught by the church of
which he is the supreme earthly head, but
he preferred the crown Of persecution.

KENNEDY SCHOOL.

The proposal of the Board of Education
to give to the school in which the late
James 6. Kennedy did his chief work as
an educator in this City the name of the
Kennedy School will be generally ap-
proved. Mr.. Kennedy was no ordinary
man. He was a pioneer in the
work of public instruction, and was
ever alert to develop it more and
more in new felds of usefulness. He was
one of the first to introduce manual train
ing and industrial education as a part of
our system of public instruction. 1t was
in the school to which it is proposed to
give his name that he carried out his ideas
in this regard and demonstrated the value
of such training.
This OF course was but a part of the i'm
portant service he rendered to the City as
an educator, but it serves as an illustra-
ton of the originality of his character and
the progressive tendency of his mind. His
influence will long be felt in the City, and
it is right that his name also should be
perpetuated as is proposed in the Ken
ncdy School.

A DISAPPOINTING ozAR.

The manifesto of the new Car of Rus
sia is disappointing. 1t reflects very much
more OF the sixteenth than OF the nine
teenth century. So far as political prison.
ers are concerned the edict merely adjusts
their sentences to another basis of punish.
ment, which is not particularly adyan-
tageous to the condemned, while the con-
ditions imposed upon other prisoners and
conspirators amount to little less than the
continuation of things as they were. Re-
mitting arrears of taxation in some in
stances and the reduction OF them in
others is to be commended; but it NAV be
regarded as compulsory step by the EN-
peror because of the poverty of the people.
But the most conspicuous and inexcus-
able exhibition of prolonged hatred is the
absence of the slightest intimation in the
manifesto of a disposition on the part of
the Gar to accord common justice to and
reasonable treatment of the Jews. Never
before in the history Of the Romanoff fam.

LEGITIMATE JOURNALISM.
New York Newspaper Maker.


The Newspaper Maker is in entire ac-
cord with the San Francisco CALLS view
that newspaper should sell news and not
books, bicycles or baby-carriages. II
should aim to give its readers the value OF
their money in fullness OF its reports Of
trade, politics, society and ell the abound
ing activities of life. If it cannot give
news enough to justify the clarge 1t makes
it should cease to call itself a newspaper
and solicit subscriptions only for its cou'
pons and their chances.
The subject, however has another aspect
that is too often overlooked. The press
stands in almost confidential relation to
business. The newspaper and the mer-
chant are allies. They are OF mutual
helpfulness when each is conducted In
legitimate channels. When the news
paper, however, combines its press with q
iunkshop and proceeds to issue coupons
by which people can get cheap sort OF
books, bicycles or baby carriages at prices
far below what good articles can be sold
for by men who have reputation as hon
est merchants TO maintain, then the press,
instead of being the ally, becomes the Zoe
of the merchant.
Instead of building up tradeit tends to de-
moralize il, and not infrequently seriously
injures business by introducing into
community an overstock of cheap articles
of one kind or another that prevents the
Gales of the merchant.

GOING FROM BAD TO WORSE.

Things are going from bad to worse with
the Democracy. It has been known for
some time that a large number of manu-
facturers, who have hitherto voted the
Democratic ticket. are displeased with the
working of the Wilson-G German tariff act,
and that most likely they would ask their
party to call halt on the tariff for reve-
nue." doctrine and go before the country
with a. declaration for tariff protection"
up to a given point. The Democrats OF
New Hampshire are the first to break
away from the tariff policy of Cleveland,
but they hold on TO the organization.
In convention the other day the party
of that State declared for 'such incidental
protection as will meet the requirements
of American labor and capital" As is
generally understood that is exactly the
kind of protection the Republican party
has been battling for all its life. 1t is
American labor and American capital
that the Republican party has been fight
ing to protect for thirty-ive years.
There is nothing significant in the dec
laration of the New Hampshire Democ-
racy except as it furnishes additional
evidence that the Democratic party is
going TO pieces on the tariff question.
Where there has not been outright deser-
ton, warning has been given that Demo
Gratis interested in manufacturing enter
prises will not vote the Chicago ticket
unless the platform declares for high
enough tariff to protect their business
against hurtful European competition.
Cleveland has been banking on his
"sound money" doctrine to hold the East
in line so that the Chicago convention
would at least indorse his effort to fasten
"tariff for revenue only" upon the coun-
try, but if Eastern Democrats are dis
pleased with his tariff policy, as they seem
to be. and the West is under the influence
of Boies and Bland, who are hostile to
him on the money question. it would seem
that the party would have to split up at
Chicago, the Eastern wing going to the
Republican party and the Western to
Boies and eternal annihilation.

DEMOCRACY AND GOLD.

The efforts OF the administration to cap
ture the Democratic party for the gold
bugs are becoming more strenuous and
unscrupulous as the chances of success
become more desperate. Every Federal
office-holder who possesses any organizing
ability is in the field actively at work TO
carry out the Cleveland programme. from
Cabinet officers like Carlisle and Hoke
Smith down to subordinates in local office
all are forced to get in and work for the
goldbug scheme. II the Chicago conven-
tion does not lndorse Clevelandism and
declare for the gold standard it will
be from no lack of energy or cunning on
the part OF the push and the pull of the
administration.
Never has the power and the influence
of the Presidential Office been used more
openly and more shamelessly to control
State conventions than in this instance.
No Federal otiice-holder who works for the
gold combine is in any danger Of being
rebuked by the administration for ''of-
fensive partisanship," no matter how
intense his partisanshlp may be or how
offensive it shows itself to the public gen.
orally. By the efforts of these officials
the Democracy of Michigan was bullied or
caioled into adopting a gold standard
plank in its platform, despite the fact that
most of the party in the State is opposed
to IL, and now there Is abundant evidence
that similar tactics are to be adopted in
this State and the Democrats of California
are to be made to line up at Sacramento
as supporters of Cleveland and Wall street.
1t has been noted in the East that the
administration has not been left to fight
this battle alone. Ever since Whitney's
recent visit to Washington the vigor OF the
gold forces in the ranks of the party has
been observed by close studentS,of political
affairs. 1t seems certain that whether
Whitney is to be candidate for the Presi-
dency or not, he and his millionaire
friends of New York are active in the
work of preparing for the National Con-
vention. They are fighting for gold money,
and undoubtedly they are fighting with
money. Their power added TO that of the
administration is sufficient to make the
result of the conflict doubtful, and this
fact gives to the Chicago convention about
the only interest that attaches to it.
IT will matter little to the country which
side wins at Chicago, for the nominee of
that convention will have no chance of
success before the people. The manner in
which the contest is being waged by the
administration, however, does matter a
good deal. Cleveland has been discredited
as leader, and is now playing on large
scale the game of boss. This adds an
other to the long list of his political
offenses, and if the Chicago convention
surrenders to it there is a strong probabil-
ity not only of a split but practical dis
banding of the party as National organi-
Zation

FOOD SUPPLIES.

From every direction should strength
come to the Board of Health in its effort
for thorough inspection of food supplies.
More than anything does impure food in
vite disease germs, and since there always
are men depraved enough in moral sense
to deal in articles of food that ara wholly
unfit for use, 1t is the duty of every good
citizen to aid to the uttermost of his abil-
ity to close up all avenues through which
unhealthy and disease-bearing eatables
are ens bled TO reach consumers.
The Importance of San Francisco taking
hold of this matter at once and with de-
termination is apparent, but it is further
emphasized by the active interest which
the commercial and industrial associa-
tions are taking in the question. And not
only they but very many of the best citi-
zens are up in arms against the introduc-
ton and offering for sale food that not
only carries danger to the consumer of it
but involves the health of the whole COM
munity. Nor should the question of the
expense of providing for thorough food
inspection deter any one from entering
heartily into the enactment of laws for
the consummation of that purpose, for.
aside from the Humanitarian aspects OF
the proposition, the expense which i'm.
pure food fastens upon a community is
vast deal greater than would be the cost of
a corps Of efficient inspectors.
There is no room for doubt that vege.
tables and other food articles are on sale.

The words In wine, for springs endure
When grapes are dry Of Joy. toast

Be petal-hd by blooms of love
That thrive arnear heart and twIne

Goes forth, one song, upon the air
Ring crystal clear: and be it told
