Won Plehye, Bureaucrat.

Minister Won Plehve, who was killed this
morning in St. Petersburg by an assassin,
was a type of the Russian bureaucrat. At
the age of twenty-five he entered the Rus
sian public service and remained thus en-
rious capacities. With him in the council
or in the senate-a misleading term to des-
ignate circle of administrators not
elected by the people-and in the admins
trative bureaus sat other men who, like
him, had served their government contin-
uousy for many years, not even rising
from their official seats at changes of min
istries. as in England and France Not one
of these men ever gets in touch with the
people. Contact with them is always at
second or third hand. through mediums of
communication more or less inmical to the
populace and subservient to the higher
powers. No electorate ever expresses an
opinion as to their merits. The car alone,
moved by those mysterious forces that con-
troll him, can shift them about or remove
them from the public service. Every one
of them fears death at the hands of the as
sassin, Won Plehye's predecessor as min
lister of the interior Sipiagin, was thus
slain, and Won Plehve himself knew that
the weapons of secret foes were constantly
aimed at him. His coachman. it is noted
in todays dispatches, had orders to drive
rapidly through the streets whenever Off
cial business took the minister abroad

Gasoline Again.

Yesterdays gasoline fire which caused
the death of child and the serious
burning of other persons. seems to have
been the result of forgetfulness as to the
dangerous character of the fluid 1t was
poured out in a basin inside of a room
where a gasoline stove was in use One of
the burners was still lighted Familiarity
with this stuff breeds spirit of indifference
to its dangerous qualities. Not long ago a
woman was burned TO death in this city
because she tried to use gasoline in quanti-
ties on bed in room where stove was
burning. The explosion was inevitable If
gasoline is used indoors at all it should be
only in the daytime. and after the most
careful search has proved conclusively that
every jet of flame is extinguished and every
match carefully put away. Take nothing
for granted Before pouring out the liquid
look personally to each burner of the oil
or gas stove. See that the coal fire is out.
See that no gas lights are burning and that
no matches are lying on the floor to be
ignited by careless foot
But the best rule of all is not to use gaso-
line indoors for any purpose There are
safer. better cleaners for sinks and such
places than this volatile oil If cleaning is
to be done. do II out in the yard-and don't
light matches nearby even then. Treat 1t
though II We're dynamite or gunpowder.
1t is just as dangerous 1t really kills
more people annually than either of those
explosives in time of peace. Yet it is hour
ly handled in houses with the greatest
freedom and reckless Indifference to its
character. 1t is a great pity that those
who already are aware of it's dangerous
nature grow forgetful and require these
frequent tragedies To arouse them. and that

Tammany at Esopus.

Leader Murphy'S visit to ESopuS was in
good time Too much has been made of
Tammany's attitude toward the ticket. A
very little knowledge Of that organization
ought to be sufficient to convince one
where Mr. Murphy stands. He wants rec
ognition. and as much of it as he can get.
He would like to be allowed to name the
candidate for governor. The office is at all
times important. and is particularly so
just now. But if that is too much. he will
probably compromise on a promise to be
allowed to control the federal patronage
for Greater New York. If satisfied on that
score, he will rally his Indians and give
Judge Parker 4 hearty support.
VIII Judge Parker pay the price? Mr.
Cleveland met Tammany's wishes in 1892
He confronted about the same situation
that Judge Parker now does. Richard Gro
ker returned from Chicago that year in
very grumpy mood. He had lost his fight
In the national convention, and 1t was
highly important that he be active in the
campaign He capitalized his grumpiness
at a handsome figure. His terms We're con-

city. and in two years the SITUATION was
about as rotten as it could be.
Mr. Hill will not like the idea of ram
many governor. He will want man IN
that office. if the democrats are to secure
it. who will stand nearer to him than 10
Mr. Murphy He lives at Albany, and with
a man of his own choice in the chair would
himself practically be the governor. Having
filled the Office some years ago, he wouio
be at home in directing affairs now, ana
would make it a means Of Strengthening
himself as a leader both in the state and
beyond So that to the extent that MI.
Hills voice is potent at Esopus we may
probably expect an arrangement proVldlns
for a liberal allowance of federal patron
age to Mr.. Murphy in case of democratic
success in November.
We shall see now how much of peace
maker Judge Parker is. 1t is a severe test
of his powers The feeling between MI
Hill and Tammany is bitter, and the man
who can bring them together may be ac-
credited with both tact and gumptlon.

The Knight Commander.
From the New York Tribune.


If the knight Commander had no contra
band goods aboard the Russians had no
right to sink her. That goes without say
ing. But she is to be assumed to have had
none until 1t is proved that she had. The
onus of proving her guilt rests with Russia.
That too seems obvious. Her papers. we
are told. were all right. They gave no indi-
cation of contraband goods. 1t is not for
her owners or their government to prove
that the papers were correct. 1t Is for Rus
STA to prove that they were false. Now the
awkward feature of the case is that nv
destroying the vessel the Russians have de-
stroyed the evidence in the case. They have
deprived themselves of the power of prov
ing that she had contraband They have
deprived themselves of the power to vindi-
cate their action. The simple word of the
Russian captain is, of course not sufficient.
The ship should have been taken before a
prize court for examination and adiudica-
ton. AS that is now impossible, through
Russia's own act, the assumption of the
vessels innocence would seem to stand inn
pregnable. If so, Russia would seem to be
liable for the full value of the vessel and
cargo, If not for something more in rep-
aration for one Of the gravest Of offenses.

TO illustrate the seething of unrest that
peryades the empire 1t is but necessary 10
note the various explanations suggested
as the motive of the assassin, whose iden-
tity and purpose the police are naturaliy
keeping as secret as possible. In the hrst
hour of the excitement attending the tras-
edy it was reported that the slayer of
Won Plehve is a Finn. a Jew and wo-
man. in the last case the intimation be-
ing that she belonged to one of the mini
listic circles Won Plehve's official ac-
the bitter hatred of all three of these
classes. Although partly of Finnish blood,
he was one of the most determined prose-
cutors of the policy of classification
which has overwhelmed the Finnish ma
tionality. AS minister of the interior he
had much to do with the persecution of
the Jews in southern Russia. AS former
minister of police he was active in the
espionage and punishment of the agita-
tors who are forever at work In Russia to
threaten the lives of high officials.
This trio of possible causes for Won
PlcEVe's ass estimation bears sugges-
lively upon the compleXity of her domes-
tic difficulties. adding seriously to her en-
barrassments while she is conducting
unsuccessful war in Asia. Despite the
persistent reports from the capital of the
enthusiasm of the populace whenever war
news of an approximately pro-Russian
character is received it is strongly
pected that the country has no stomach
for the fight against Japan. Its levies of
troops go forth. to be sure. in the pre-
scribed numbers. but they are either sod
denly Indifferent to their fate FESTIVE
under the compulsion. There is no domi-
Eant tendency toward revolution within
the boundaries of the empire in Europe
for the reason that the mass of the peo-
pie are not sufficiently ina ginative or
mentally active to be resistant Where
ever intelligence has been developed out
side of the official and subofficial classes,
unrest is prevalent, as attested by these
frequent tragedies. The claim that such
nation can conquer the world is absurd

these branches of the local government ask
for what they actually require to put their
forces on proper basis commensurate
with the size and Importance of the city,
the total appears at first glance unreason-
ably large. If stripped of arrearages the
annual estimates would sink to a moderate
figure.
Chief Belt now asks for $4,000 more than
the current appropriation chiefly because
the fire department is approximately that
amount in arrears through the indispostion
of Congress to bring the fire fighting force
up to the capitals standard OF size and
salary schedule. 1t must not be forgotten
that the city Is spreading out rapidly and
that there is need not only of a larger
force in men and apparatus, but of
more liberal pay scale. The salaries that
sufficed when Washington had only 10000
people within its bounds are insufficient
now that it has nearly twice as many. The
responsibilities and the dangers of the
frenen are greater. Their personal cost of
living is heavier. They are today among
the poorest paid firemen in the United
States and the increases asked for by the
chief stand for reasonable effort to place
them where they belong. where their ex-
cellent services entitled them to be placed.

Sunday Observance.
From the Buffalo Express.

There Is much to be said on both sides
of this question. Those who believe that
Sunday is a day set apart for rest and
meditation, for church going and prayerful
thought, can see nothing but harm in any
form of amusement. But there Is very
large part of the population of every city
which finds it's rest in some other form
than church going. Are not these persons
just as much entitled to considerati ton as
are the others? 1t must be acknowledged
however, that those who care not for
church need not make nusances of them
selves and should not be an annoyance to
those who place the church first on Sun

Human Inequality.

There is a notion, and a most pernicious
one. that it is the highest realization of re-
publican form of government that all the
people should by some forcing process be
made as much alike as possible. All human
beings are born equal only in the single
fact that they all come into the world by
the same natural process. The same equal
ity exists in the matter of death since what
we call life is eXtinguished for all under
the self-same conditions But that Is all
the equality that is possible. for human be-
