4 POWERLESS BOSS.

Major Lentzs reelection chairman of the
Essex County IN. j. Republican Committee
has developed peculiar situation At the pri-
maries last fall the Majors opponents devoted
all their strength and energy to the task of
electing anti-Lentz delegates to the county con-
vention. They made complete and finished
Job of that, but paid little attention to
the election of county committeeman, and in con-
sequence majority of the latter were found to
be Lentz adherents.
During the campaign the county committee
was practically ignored The nominees for Sen
ator Sheriff and Assemblymen had committee
of their own and it directed things without con-
suIting Major LentZ. The ticket was elected by
such a smashing majority as to make 1t quite
clear that public sentiment was behind Senator
Colby and his associates and hostile to the Ma
jor This demonstration was expected to make
converts among til" county committeeman. 1t
did have a little effect. for some men who lad
been among the Majors ablest lieutenants
frankly advised him to bow to the popular will
and quit.
Major Lentz was deaf to all suggestions Of
that kind. He controlled majority Of the
county committee and announced his intention
of holding them up to the rack. The trial or
strength came few nights ago and the Major
won by a substantial majority. Apart from the
pride which he feels at this self-sacrifcfng ex-
hlbitlon or loyalty on Ihe part Oh Ills Lolio"eIS'
it is difficult to see how Major Lentz is going to
get any material advantage from his chairman
ship The whole Essex delegation in the legis-
lature-Senator and eleven ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
against him and they will give no heed to his
orders or suggestions. From the Sheriff he need
expect no favors
Under such circumstances the craftsmanship is
an exceedingly empty honor. Major Lentz can
not hope to have say in Essex legislation or
patronage for he will have no standing in Tren-
ton The voters of the county seem determined
10 retire him. and his tenacious refusal to realize
it can only result in dragging down with him
men and interests that might otherwise escape
unScathed.

by those who honestly seek to promote Russian
freedom and progress? We know OF nothing
that has occurred in the last year TO make the
granting of universal suffrage more fitting or
more desirable and of nothing to indicate any
material growth of the Russian people in ca
pacity for popular government
Moreover-and this is perhaps the most ln-
nortant feature of the case-the decree of yes
terday does not definitely deny nor postpone
universal suffrage further than to remit II to
the National Assembly. 1t provides Tor the
convoking of that body and leaves with IL the
rest That seems to us distinctly prudent
The empire hitherto has been ruled by an au-
tocracy. Now the autocracy has been sue
ceeded by what we may term a popular ar's-
tocracy. in the best sense of the term-a gov
ernment by the intelligent substantial and
progressive elements of the people. Democracy
may follow, but at least it is wise to take TINS
intermediate STEP The proclamation OF II
should rally all the best elements of the Rus
sian nation to the triumphant support OF Count
Whites government.

THE RUSSIAN ELECTORAL LAW.

The Russian electoral law which was promul-
gated yesterday will, we are told, prove great
disappointment to many since it does not pro-
vide for immediate universal suffrage. For the
same reason we must say, it will prove en-
couraging TO the true and thoughtful friends Of
Russian progress and freedom. They have all
along thought it would be a mistake to rush the
empire too suddenly into state which other
far more advanced nations of Europe have not
yet reached. To make haste slowly and circum-
spectIy is the surest way of reaching the de-
sired goal. With that view of the case even so
ardent reformer as Father Gapon has at last
come 10 agree.
For confirmation of this view it is necessary
to do no more than to recall the circumstances
and opinions of year ago. At that time there
was scarcely a thought, save among few ex-
tremists of anything like universal suffrage
4 constitutional system not nearly as liberal as
that now offered by the government would have
been welcomed with grateful rapture some
thing far better than had been expected. If it
would have been thus regarded then, why
should II not be accepted as satisfactory now
