COUNTRY AND CITY.

In all the States, unfortunately. thore ~
noted at times a kind OF jealousy or enmity
between the country ami cities aud this
spirit frequently crops out in legislation,
when the members OF the legislature from
country districts seek to control the moral
or business or social lifo OF the cities over
the protest Of the latter.
1t seems that this kind OF struggle
between country and metropolis is more
pronounced and more bitter In New York
state than elsewhere, because the ex
tremes are greater In that State by reason
OF the size Of the larger cities.
The New York Evening Post has called
attention TO the disposition OF the rural
representatives In the legislature TO CON
iinuaily encroach upon the right OF local
self-goyerpment In New York and Rroo,,
yn, and recently remarked that as t,ms

public there ought to be no stay-at- home

Interest naturally centers In the contest
for the mayoralty nomination Upon the
chief executive of the city so much de-
pends In the way of policy and perform

mayors influence is so paramount in the
administration that other contests are
dwarfed by comparison with this.

mayors office In the present instance are

and trust on the bench, that his friends

shuar's capacity and personal honesty
nothing can he said.
OF Mayor Baldwin Rice II may be said
that he has 10th the advantage and disad
ventage of his opponent in having served

his fitness for his position. while his OPP
ponents adapta5ility ls still n matter tor

ing to bear tho responsibility for any acts
that may have provoked public criticism
While The Post does not agree with Mayor

upon the whole has been among the most
successful that the city has ever enjoyed
The mayor Is OF the progressive type 81
