WHY RUSSIAN TROOPS mUr1vY.

KOnni Zillacus relates an incident of a few
years ago, doubtless by no means unique but
one of many such. which throws much light
upon the causes which have led to the present
widespread disaffectiOn, growing untrustwOrth-
mess and numerous mutinies among the Rus
sian troops. II was late in 1900. Some petty
theftS and other misdemeanors entirely disso-
ciated from politics, were detected in a Rus
sian university by the students themselves. who
thereupon held a meeting, a thousand strong,
TO consider ways and means for improving the
moral tone OF the institution. Although the
meeting was orderly and quite nOn-political. it
was dispersed by the police Next day about
I'VE hundred of the students met again. to
frame memorial 10 the authorities. They
were promptly rounded up" by COssacks. and.
for punishment, 2GS of them were drafted into
the army as common soldiers. Ziliacus speaks
OF this scathingly as a degradation OF the army
10 the rank of a penitentiary. 1t was that and
it was something else still more ominous and
menacing 1t was an official establishment Of
a revolutionary propaganda Of the most ag-
gressive and effective kind among those very
forces upon which autOcracy depended for the
prevention or suppression of revolution 1t was
about as distinctly suicidal as any government
action could easily be.
For it would be contrary to human nature
and to that elemental sense OF equity which is
so potent among primitive a people as the
Russians TO suppose that those involuntary stu
dent-solders entered the ranks with any affec.
tiOnate or loyal disposition toward the govern
ment which had treated them with such harsh
tyranny. On the contrary, we must suppose
that since they were men. and not animals.
they had a keen sense Of the wrong which had
been done TO them and passion Of resent
ment, and that each of them speedily became,
in his company ard regiment. force for disaf-
fectiOn and an active centre of revolutionary
propaganda against system under which such
oppression was practised. If. as we may
sumo, the authorities scattered these cOnscrlpts
about singly, in different parts OF the army and
OF the empire, the spirit of revolt was just so
much the more widely distributed, and the army
was so much the more generally inoculated
with the revolutionary virus. Those 2O8 stu
dent-eonscripts may well have caused many
regiments TO be "hOneycombed with treason"
Moreover, as We have said, that incident was
doubtless not solitary. In these last half dozen
years, under the malign influence OF the PIehyes
and Bobrikofs and Pobiedonostseffs and Vlad-
imirs, the number OF such missionaries of sedi.

a fresh instance of the disagreement between
official statistics and common experience in re-
gard TO the weather is afforded by the rainfall
Of the last few weeks Mr.. Emory's report for
July shows that at the government station in
this city there was deficiency of about one
quarter in the precipitation. The total amount
recorded was 321 inches, whereas under nor
NAL conditions there should have been 4.47.
On the other hand. people who are habitually
alert and accurate observers insist that July
this year. like the opening days of August was
vexatiOusly and exceptionally wet. So there you
are!
Marked as is the discrepancy, it can to some
extent be satisfactorily explained. The testi-
mOny on both sides of the question is undOubt-
edly correct. Popular discomfort does not de-
pend so much on the total quantity Of rain which
falls as the continuity of rainy weather.
Indeed, when there is just enough precipita-
ton TO make umbrellas necessary and to reI-
der the pavements Shiny and treacherOus, the
weather is far more disagreeable than when
there a few short. sharp and decisive
showers which merely interrupt the almost I'M
broken sunshine. but make more formidable
showing in the records of the rain gauge. Well.
the bright skies and nfrequent though heavier
dOwnpOurs which might have been expected
were missing this July. Mr.. Emory declares
that the precipitation of the month was stretched
fewer than fifteen days, and that only five of
the others were clear. His statement of the
case appears a little inadequate at first, but
we begin to have confidence in his veracity.
especially since two of the most trying meteor
illogical factors in the stuation-fOg and hui
midity-cOuld not have been expected to de-
clare themselves in the rainfall column of his
bulletin.
Unhappy as has been the lot of the metropolis
other localities in the Middle Atlantic States
and New England seem to have Jared even
worse. Precipitation is much less equally dis
trbuted in summer than in winter. During the
seasOn of local showers a perfect deluge will
visit one town and only the lightest sprinkle
another which Immediately adjons it, while
only few miles from both not a drop will he
dscOverable. These eccentricties have so Op-
Grated of late that here and there more or less
rain has fallen daily for three or four weeks in
succession.
Whether ST Swthin. the sunspots the Gulf
Stream or the binoma theOrem is to blame we
shall not undertake to guess, but we take the
liberty of warning the offender that it is high
time TO quit.

late Division or the Court Of Appeals is is-
nored. and every Republican, Judge sitting in
Brooklyn even temporarily. is counted in to
show Republican preponderance OF course,
this method is preposterous. The Appellate
Division is not mere 2d District tribunal
1t belongs just as much TO the new 9th Dis
trlct. The particular assignment of judges has
no proper bearing ON the question They are
sent all about the state as the exigencies Of

tion of the fun list of justices belonging TO each
district. Not counting the justices who will
belong TO the new 9th District after January
/, there are now ten justices in the I'd District
Five OF these, Justices Bartlett GaynOr, jerks
Marean and Kelly. are Democrats, and five,
Justices Dickey, larretsOn. Maddox Burr and
JaycOY, are Republicans Thus the division is
at present equal and the fact that Republican
Governors have seen fit TO honor Democrats
with Appellate assignments, especially as fail
ure TO do so would have been criticised by DEM
Ocrats. is no reason for penalizng Republicans
In selecting new judges.
The Republicans are entitled to three OF the
seven new judgeships, and we do not believe
that Republicans like Mr.. Schieren ana Mr
Blair are prepared to give assent to any such
thimblerigging device OF non-partisanshlp as
that which has been prepared in Brooklyn. IL
is perfectly we'll known that. even with the par
ties equally represented in the courts, the pre-
ponderant influence of those tribunals is Demo
cratic. for the city government, whose actions
are the occasion for great part of the judi
cial patronage, never. if it can help it, moves
condemnation proceeding before a Republican
judge. We believe in a nOn-partisan Judiciary,
and are glad to encourage all efforts TO take
the courts out of politics. hut we sometimes
grow weary of the pea-and walnut-shell sort
of nOn-partisanshp which Republicans are ex-
pected TO accept.

4 STUDY OF NOy-P4RTFs4ysHJp

Our volunteer committees for the selection
OF judges Seen 90 have some queer ideas OF
nOn-partisanship In the 1st Judicial District
where for years no Republican ever had a
chance. and where now out of twenty-five JUS
tees. only three are Republicans, non bipartisan
ship took the form Of saying that the Republi-
cans must not expect anything like equality
The nominators declared that they could not
consider politics at all. but would select men
solely on their merits ar the bar Yet curiously
enough they could find only three meritoriOus
Republicans to seven Democrats When it came
20 nominations for the General Sessions, how
ever. that theory of nOn-partisanship would not
do and fairness forbade the selection of two
Republicans. Judge COwing-whose Republi-
canism, whatever it may once have been, has
not been visible TO the naked eye these many
years, while Tanlmany campaign funds, IT is
said, have not lacked his suppOrt-being cred
ited 70 the Republicans, it was thought neces-
saTy 10 pick out a Democrat for the other
place. OF course, all this was done by high
minded. impartial men who would never dream
OF being unfair to Republicans and we under
stand that Republicans ought 20 be humbly sat
tsfed at having even SO much consideration
when judgeships so generally denied them.
They should realize that the measure Of past
pOpuinr favor 20 their candidates indicates the
small consideration 10 which they are entitled
But no sooner have Republicans adjusted
themselves to this theory Of nOn-partisanship
and fair play than another theory is promul-
gated. The Ist Judicial District plan would
give them al least chance of equality in the
ID District. But that would never do at all.
So IL is announced that the volunteer nOmi-
majors in Brooklyn take the ground that 1.-THE
Republican party is OveTTepresented" there, and
that flair play demands the nomination of more
Democrats than Republicans this year" That
Is where there more Democrats than Re
pubIicans fair play demands that a large ma
FORTY OF the new men be Democrats. but where
the Republicans are not already In the minority
they are Overrepresented and the Democrats
must be put in control.
The % District plan as announced is 10 even
things up by naming six Democrats and two
Republicans. AS one Republican, Justice jay
cox, Is already on the bench and sure OF re-
nomination, the seven new justiceships created
are 90 be filed by six Democrats and only one
Republican. That is a curious way of evening

HOOLIG4Ns FROM ABROAD.

IN one of the local courts on Monday last ten
young rufiians, betraying unmistakable symn-
toms of incipient criminality, were arraignad
for violent hOoliganism in public cars on Sunday
and all were properly fined save One who was
dismissed with a reprimand. The incident was
not generally noteworthy, being only practical
repetition of experiences every Sunday and Mon
day during the summer season. But one detail
of it, revealed in the names Of the culprits. NAV
be worth passing observation. With single
exception, the names were distinctively alien
and Indicative Of the foreign origin Of the own
ers and Of origin in that part Of the world from
which come the least desirable Of our immi-
grants.
Now we are not so unjust as 10 suggest that
all, or even a large part, Of the immigrants who
come hither are criminal or dlsOrderly, and we
are not so foolish as 10 pretend that all native
born Americans are law-abidng. But we believe
1t is a fact that very large proportion OF crime
