TEACHING THE BOSSES.

Seizing supposed opportunity while Gov
eruor Wilson was occupied with the big show,
Jim" Smith, one of the United States senators
20 bitterly denounced by President Grover
Cleveland tried to sneak under the canvas of
the sensational side show, only to be met by
the gubernatorial big stick, One swat not
proving sufficient to discourage the venture
some Smith, the governor and his friends are
preparing to take him by the arms and legs
and pitch him out bodily.
Bosses are usually old fogies, holding to
s. the same old methods and putting reliance in
the same old tricks; and although those in
New Jersey-especially Smith---have received
several lessons. they have yet much to learn.
One thing they must learn, is not to rely too
much ON the Roosevelt charge that Wilson
possesses kindly feeling toward all bosses.
will never understand that an independent man
will oppose them even to his own hurt Gov
ernor Wilson probably realizes this fact. as
evidenced by his statement that often the best
way TO fool boss is TO tell him the truth
He did that when he was campaigning for
governor Of New Jersey, and told Smith and
Nugent that he would not be bound to them
because OF their support. Smith and NIgent
did not believe him before election, but the
peopIe did and their confidence In him was
Justified. Smith was defeated for the United
Sfates senate. and Nugent was kicked OFF the
state committee II is true that Roosevelt
declares that Wilson has gone to bed quietly
with Nugent. but this statement doesn't give
Mr. Nugent back his Job. +. While Mr. Wilson
4 realizes the depths OF the ignorance of bosses
regarding some matters, he has manfully con-
1 tinued his efforts TO teach them. the latest
attempt OF the sehooimaster being made by

The Real Gaynor.

r. Few things in the public career of a man who
possesses some remarkable qualities, both of
ability and of character, are more melancholy
than the way in which Mr. Gaynor has been
throwing away the good will and esteem which
were so heartily accorded to him in the early
part Of his term Of office. Newspapers that had
bitterly opposed him In the campaign which re-
suited in his election were quick to bestow upon
him the most lavish and unqualified praise when
he showed by a number of valuable and cour-
ageous acts, that he seeking to give the city
an efhcient and non partisan administration.
They cheerfuily relegated to the scrap@heap all
those judgments concerning HIS cratic temper,
his proneness to wild and irresponsible state
ment and other defects, which they had based
partly on his campaign speeches and partly on
some OF the peeuliarities of his previous career.
II they now compelled to realize that these
Judgments had, after all, only too much foun-
dalton in fact, 1t Is the mayor alone who ID re-
sponsible for this change In face of the fact
tnat the same organs Of public opinion that are
now finding his attitude scandalous were for a
long time unqualified admirers OF his conduct In
the mayoralty, his childish daily repetition of
abusive epithets concerning the newspapers and
his charge that the demand of an aggressive in
curry INTO police conditions is prompted by mall
lee AGAINST himself. are TOO absurd for comment
He appears to be doing his utmost to confuse the
issue, and to obstrtct the ascertainment of the
truth in regard TO the most sinister police scan
dal within public memory; and he is certainly
converting what ought to be orderly effort to
cope with evil conditions into an unseemY and
disgusting wrangle--New York Evening Post
