The passage of the bill creating a one
headed police commission for New York
city and comforting upon the Mayor the
power of appointment, has been prompt
~ followed py the selection for the
place OF Col. Michael q. Murphy, who
was the Tammany commissioner In
tire two.headed commission, and the
selection by him Of the notorious Devery
as his tlrst deputy. This open and de-
FAINT disregard of all pretence TO decen-
cy has stirred up the Governor, who is
now threatening to remove the Mayor.
1t is to be hoped, however, that be will
do no such thing. The selection of such
msn-for though Devery was appointed
by Murphy he was no doubt selected by
the Mayors an outrage on the decent
people OF New York, and certainly moral
ly. II not legally, disqualities Van Wyok
for the high office which he holds, but
the real cure for such things rests In
the people. The removal OF Van Wyok
will paIliAte the trouble, and for that
very reason 1t ought not to he resorted to
inasmuch as it may tend to defeat ths
application OF the real and complete
remedy, which is the turning out OF
Tammany Hall and the placing in pow
er of honest men. With this object les
son OF what Tammany is before their eyes
from now to election the decent voters OF
New York are likely to be stirred up to
the requisit, pitch of anger 10 get them
TO the polls. If 1t is removed the people
are liable TO lapse into their old in
difference, and Tammany which Ia al
WAYS wide awake get new lease OF pow
er. Suffering and humiliation now
may avert greater suffering and humili.
alton in the future. A palliative admin
istered now is sure to act as a sedative
on the public and indefinitely postpone
a radical cure.

success was short lived, however, as the
fortifcatlon bill was taken MP. thus dis
placing the Canal hill, which, with the
oleomargarine bill ana the shipping bill,
takes Its place on the calendar.

Colonel Boothby's connection with the

they expect Colonel Boothby as
Mayor to assist In carrying out.
Now the management of the
Boston & Maine railroad is generally
believed to be possessed Of ordinary
common sense, indeed the popular I'M
preston is that 1t Is astute. But can
any one conceive of an astute manager,
or even ons possessed OF very ordinary
common ssnse selecting as an agent to
carry out some secret design It had
against city a man known to sn men
to be connected with 1t ir an Official

be equivalent to hunting ducks with a
brass band. Corporations or individuals
who have plots underway carefully con-
oeal them. They select to carry them
out, not men known by everybody to be
connected with them, but men who have
no connection with them at all. They
don't put the people on guard In advance
They don't hang ous sign. They don {
flash q danger signal in the eyes OF the
public. One can scarcely conceive OF a
worse way for a corporation TO get some
thing out OF municipality than TO place
one OF Its own officials at the head of 1t.

and character much of the general

and character much of the general
influence of their surroundings.
THE annual election of school
officers this year occurs May 11tb,
a month earlier than heretofore.
These occasions are all too COM
monty neglected, for here are chos-
en- the men and women who direct
school affairs often by very mea-
ger attendance of those interested.
Every voter having any interest
whatever in our schools, should at
tend the school election.
"Arbor Day having come so early
this year that it was possible to
observe it in Whitman county, let
us combine the usual observance of
Arbor Day with the performance of
the duties of election day Planta
few hardy trees and shrubs Clean
up and smooth the grounds. Plant
for neat, substantial fence and
turn-stile. Arrange for a wide
porch and fill up the holes near the
steps where water stands to be
tracked into the house. Maybe
the house needs painting. Are
there window shades and are they
well hung? Is the floor worn out
in places? Is the foundation open
causing cold feet? Are the seats
poorly put together and i'll arrang-
ed? Are there plenty of coat and
hat hooks and are there shelves for
lunch boxes? Is there at least one
comfortable chair?
ITO be sure, there are many pro-
gressive schools in Whitman, for
whom these things are not written,
for number, even in the country,
leave little to be done along the
lines suggested, yet even some very
prosperous towns, have school
premises susceptible to improve
mgnt.
Let every voter man or woMssn,
Think on these things and on
Saturday, May 18th, not only vote,
but help to set at work such infu-
ences and forces as shall result in a
more wholesome environmentin our
schools
"No, 1t will not do to plead for want
of funds. Almost all districts are
quite comfortable in this particular
and the last Legislature has provid-
ed for an increase of one-fourth
more in the state school fund, than
has been provided heretofore. Only
the manifestation of a proper in
terest on the part of our people
is needed.
Let us improve the appearance,
externally and internally of our
schools"
