EVENTS IN ST. PETERSBURG.

The conduct of the Russian authorities IN re-
lation TO the riotous outbreak IN 81 PETERSBURG
on Sunday seems TO indicate even more clearly
than their nrecedeut action that the Car is dis
passiona tely considering the demand Tor a
change in governmental institutions which was
firmly but respectfully embodied in the recent
memorial of the zemstvo representatives. The
steps taken TO repress the advertised demonstra-
ton of the Social Democratic Labor party were
perhaps i'll advised inasmuch as they increased
nuhlic curiosity and excitement. but it is evident
that the police were under instructions to deal
AS gently as possible with the mob. and we see
no reason 10 doubt the statement contained in
the dispatches that similar gathering in New
York would have been dispersed by measures at
least as stern.
But even more significant of Prince Mirsky s
disposition land influence with the Car is the
fact that ST Petersburg newspapers in SYM
pathy with the liberal movement were permit
ted To comment as they pleased on Sundays oc-
curreuces and TO renew their demand for a con-
sttutional government. No clearer sign could
he given of the imperial determination to let
the voice of discomfort be heard. temporarily at
least. at home and throughout the world. What
ultimate purposes the Car may be revolving in
his mind it is impossible 10 say. but he is appar-
entity making no effort TO hinder an orderly eX-
preston of opinions. however hostile TO the ex-
listing scheme of things.
1t would be proof of courage and large
mind il the Gar. instead of making Sundays
outbreak an occasion for yielding to the persua-
siOns OF the reactionares. should refuse to per-
nit his judgment to be swayed by proceedings
for which the accredited representatives OF the
zemStvos are not responsible and which they
most of ali deplore, 1t was reported on Sunday
that his uncle. the Grand Duke Sergus, Gov
ernor General of Moscow. and NJ Muravieff,
Minister of Justice. had resigned in recognition
of their inability to discredit Prince Mirsky and
thwart his policy If it should now he seen
that they had gained no advantage of position
from the action Of the Social Democrats. the
belief would be greatly strengthened that the
Gar is inclined TO grant. not indeed all that the
delegates of the provincial assemblies lately de-
manded, but an important measure of relief
from present conditions

Fire Department were improved and its equip
ment enhanced. Nothing definite was done,
however and then a committee representing
tho National Board of Fire Underwriters ap-
neared on the scene This committee wasn't
tong in framing a plan which took the form
of an u;timatum. Under it the CITY is required
to spend ofhand nearly 100000 for Fire De
nartment purposes and to maintain the de-
nartment on a scale which would mean alto
cether an annual increased expenditure of
about $4,000.
Patersonans are almost a unit in denounc-
inc the proposition unfair discrimination.
Resides they assert to attempt compliance
with it would bankrupt the city. There is some
thing in both contentious and most people will
he prone to sympathize with Paterson. But
the citizens cannot be blind to the fact that the
Fire Department has not been kept up to the
highest point of efficiency possible with the
money expended. The department is bossed by
the aldermen, and. if per cent of what one
hears be true about the methods of the City
Fathers in making appointments and enfOrc-
ing discipline it is not surprising that the in
surance people are dissatisfied.
A fire commission. either elective or ap-
pointive should he able to make drastic and
desirable improvements without much extra
expense Paterson has an able, honest fearless
Mayor. who could be depended upon to select
competent commissioners. If. however, there is
# prejudice against appOintive commissioners
then they could be elected by popular vote on
general city ticket. In any event the de-
partment should he withdrawn from the juris
dictiOn of the aldermen. whose management of
it has been pretty nearly as bad as it was pos

TNTNTITTNG WINTER.

No one can have observed the weather which
has prevailed for the last week ten days in
the eastern part of this country without being
struck by fact. 1t is astonishing to see
how large a business can be done on a small
capital by a snowstorm. The air is filled with
fakes for a day AT time, the streets are made
almost impossible for man and beast. even
railway trains are hindered in some mysterious
manner so that suburban schedules are upset.
and vet the official observers report only puny
three or four inches of precipitation. This is
not enough TO cause n serious blockade or to
cover the fences along country roads with
drifts vet the situation is intensely disagree
able. owing largely to the circumstance that
the storms have come in rapid succession and
at least in the vict-.iJy Of the metropolis-have
been attended 0y an unusual prevalence of
northeasterly winds The latter are attributa-
BILE no doubt, to the route recently followed by
depressionS from the northwest Instead of
coming down the lakes and going to sea by
way of the St Lawrence, they dive toward the
Ohio Valley and Virginia coast. There is al
ways an inflow of air from all sides to the
centre Of a storm, and New-York has recent
" been affected by the northerly half, instead
of the southery half, of these unwelcome Wis
itors.
Jrp TO the present time the winter has not
been characterized by extreme cold. The fall
of the mercury in this city to degrees early
on Sunday was hardly unreasonable. Closer
approaches have sometimes been made to zero
during the first ten days of December, though
the severest demonstrations rarely occur be-
! fore January. As yet the country has not ex-
perienced anything more than suggestions and
| limitations of ''old fashioned winter There
has not been ice enough TO invite skating, much
! less to justify an ice harvest. None Of the cold
waves that have been recorded this season have
| continued long enough to make these things
possible. The alienation between freezing and
| thawing conditions has been too rapid for last
| inc CONSEQUENCES.

LET HIM BE INVITED.

1t is reported from Washington that mem
bers of the committee having charge Of the ar
rangements for President ROOsevelts inaugu-
ration next March are anNiously considering
whether or not Governor Vardaman should be
invited to attend. While there is every reason
why the State of Mississippi should not be
sighted. it is feared that if the Governor were
to receive an invitation he would make it an
occasion for sending characteristic reply. OF
course. nobody wishes to bestOw needlessly on
Governor Vardaman an opportunity to demean
himself in public again as he did when he in
suited Mr.. Roosevelt in a letter to the presl-
dent of the St Louis Exposition. If it were
n question Of inviting him an individual TO
the Inauguration, the committee would proba-
bly, not hesitate TO leave him out; and, mas
much as he will he asked to appear in his rep
reSentattve capacity. if he is asked at all. it
does not impress us as a very perplexinG case
as it stands. The best citizens of Mississippi
might almost prefer to have their State ignored
if they were sure that the Governor would ac-
knowledge an invitation with another outbreak
of the boorishneSs on which he seems to pride
himself; but the committee cannot take that
for granted nor need it assume in advance that
he would choose to invite a second and even
severer sentence of condemnation from his own
people.
If the committees doubt is caused by cOnsid-
Grafton for the President il is quite as unnec-
csSary. 1t could do Mr.. Roosevelt no harm, in
fact or in public estimation, to be again as
sailed by Governor Nardamans coarse imperti-
nences. There might. indeed be some cOmpen-
sation for another indulgence of his proclivi-
ties, for he would surely he repudiated de-
nounced and separated further in the public
mind from the company Of honorable citizens
who represent real Southern sentiment. If.
therefore, our opinion We're asked we should
advise the committee to send an invitation to
the Governor of Mississippi as a matter of
course. without the slightest sOltcitude to
the nature of his response. especially in view
of the fact that failure TO do so would be
at least as likely to produce the result which
the committee breads.
