One on DR.. johnson.

DR. Sam Johnson was sometimes
"come up with and was honest enough
not to be offended when his outspoken
rudeness met spirited rebuke, as the
following anecdote shows. At the time
Stuart was young man, studying un-
der the great painter, Benjamin west.
He gives the story in his History OF
the Arts of Design in the United
States.
"Dr Johnson called one morning on
Mr. West to converse with him on
American affairs After some time Mr..
West said he had a young American
Colbert STUART living with him, from
whom he might derive some informa-
ton, and introduced Stuart. The con-
versation continued tStuart being thus
invited TO take part in iD, when the
doctor observed to Mr.. West that the
young man spoke very good English:
and turning to Stuart, rudely asked
him where he had learned It. Stuart
replied, "Sir, I can better tell you where
I did not learn tit was not from your
dictionary" Johnson seemed aware OF

The lesson to be drawn from the un-
fortunate result in New York yesterday
is that, in municipal politics al least,
there is converse to the truth OF the
old saying when thieves fall out hon
est men get their dues" In all the risk
and responsibility Of inaugurating the
great scheme of New York's new gov
ernment, there was nothing so much
dreaded by the good citizens of all parties
in the whole territory affected as the pos-
sibility of the control OF Tammany. bu;
the only result OF all their frantic efforts
TO prevent such a catastrophe is the fast
ening OF the hold OF that disreputaoie
organization on them more strongly than
ever. Instead of presenting one solid
unbroken front to the common enemy.
honest men in New York have permitted
a state Of strife and dissension to creep
in among them, with the natural and
inevitable consequence Of their utter un-
doing. OF course the blame will be laid
at the door of Plat and the regular re-
publican organization, but to any out
sider who has mpartially studied and
followed the history of the campaign
from its inception there must be grave
doubts as to whether this charge can be
justly made. Republicans of New York
and Brooklyn were willing and offered at
the beginning to unite on any good man
who could be nominated for mayor, but
there was an element Of conceited. phar-
asaical voters who fancied they saw an
opportunity to do what has never been
and never can be accomplished under
any form of democratic government
eliminate politics" from any considera-
ton or influence in forming the city's
new administration. They disdained all
proffers Of assistance from the republican
organization, except at the expense OF
a sacrifice OF its entire identity. They
wanted, and would have nothing else
but ''non-partisan" administration The
consequence is they are destined to
wrIthe for many years under the very
worst form Of partisan government ever
known in this country. The re-
publlcans were forced, for the sake of
their national and state organization, to
nominate ticket, and it is difficult at
this distance to see how any self-re-
specting republican who had. a voice in
yesterdays contest could refuse to sup
port it. The shame and disgrace Of rurn-
ing the gigantic commonwealth which
will compose the Greater New York over
to the control of the notorious gang of
thieves who have now earned the right
to run it, will be felt and deplored in
every section Of the country.

In his speeches, made during the Ohio
campaign, Senator Hanna called the at
,ention Of the thrOngs OF wOrSingmen
who formed his audiences 10 a promise
OF the republican party which means
much to them II it is carried out, And
1t will be carried out II the republicans
obtain control OF the senate. Mr., Hanna
stated ii as follows;
We promised further that. after having
protested the industries Of our country,
we would pr5tect the workingmen OF our
country against the tramp labor OF Eu-
rope by giving TO them an immigration
bill which would govern that question
ard in the interest OF our laboring people.
That IS a proposition that applies 20
every workingman in this state.
And II does 50 apply. The labor mar
ket is, like the market for every other
commodity. governed by the law of sup
ply end demand. Let rs protect our own
workingmen from the Hood ot foreign
laborers OF the lowest grade. They glut
the market, and they help to keep wages
down.

According 10 the statistics given by
Commissioner of Navigation Chamber
lain. the merchant fleet Of the United
States has never been so efficient as dur
ing the last fiscal year. The total docu-
mented tonnage at the end Of the year
was 4,76s,O2O, the largest tonnage for
twenty-one years, except in the year 1888,
when it was 4S25,O71 tons. 1t was, of
course, considerably less than the total
recorded at the period Of our larges,
tonnage, which was on June 30, 1861, when
there were 5,539Sl2 tons recorded. The
steam tonnage on June 80 last amounted
to 2,S5s,55S tons, and the sail tonnage, IN
cluding canal boats and barges, COM
prised 2,41O, 462 tons. The course of con-
struction for the year indicates that at
the end of the current fiscal year the
steam tonnage will for the first time
in the history of our merchant marine
exceed the combined tonnage Of docu-
mented sailing vessels. barges and canal
boats. The total construction for the
year. ss1 vessels of 1928 gross tons, was
the largest annual output since the year
1S1. For the first time in the history
Of the country more tonnage was built
on the great lakes than in all the rest
Of the country. The governments aver
age annual expenditures for maritime
purposes, including river and harbor i'm
