Pharisees in Politics.

To a man who is not a Pharisee in
politics there is something intensely
humorous in highly moral crusades
against so-called "bossism" led by men
who have every characteristic of the
bossiest boss except the power to keep
together following which can long
he bosscd by them. patriotism" said
Talleyrand. "is the last refuge of a
scoundrel:" and it is very apparent to-
day that the loudest howlS against pO-
litical bossism come from men who
have either been bosses themselves and
been overthrown or else from other
men anxious to down the reigning boss
so that they may reign in his stead.
Scan the list in nation, state, county
and city and you will find no cXcep-
tion to this rule. The boss" is simply
objected to because he is on top; let
him be tumbled over and he in turn
joins in the anti-boss chorus. seeking
the wreakng of vengeance upon his
successor.
We do not doubt that among the
people opposed to Quay are many con-
scientious and unselfish men. who sin
cerely believe that Quay is as bad as
he is painted and that ability to abuse
Quay is equivalent to high qualitica-
tiOn for public office, none other being
quite so necessary. These men are
respectable although their practical in
telligence Is none too great. But
among the howlers against Quay are
rtait nth do "a nd
any respect whatever, because they are
hypoCrites. takers and mercenaries into
the bargain. To this class belong those
men. some Of whom reside in this COM
munity, who have been content to
cringe to Quay and laud him to the
heavens when Quay had offices to give
out, but who were no sooner omitted
from Quay's list of favortes than they
turned their batteries of mud upon him
and rushed to take the lead in con-
certed attempt at his political cruci-
fiXion. Men like these in the vest
ments Of reform are like imps of per-
dltion IN ha!os and wings. They give
honest men a pain.
Another class of Quay-haters are al
most as wearisome although they may
he more sincere. We refer to the little
bosses like Kohlsaat Of Chicago. for
example, who are always to be found
in the front rank when there is any
political fixing up to be done. eager and
palpitant in their quest of political
power, yet who nevertheless hold it to
he very wrong for men like Quay to do
such things, because Quay rarely is on
their side. They adore Hanna, be-
cause Hanna is in the sacred circle;
but they cannot tolerate in Quay the
tricks and traits which make Hanna
and his click a joy forever. We do not
dare to doubt that these critics of
Quayism are sincere, but they certainly
are mentally lop-sided. If they We're
not they would cease to claim a mon
opoly of virtue and cleanliness which
1T is notorious they do not possess and
cannot hope To acquire.
AS for men like John Wanamaker,
their time should have been in the
period when professional assassins
