Gov. SuLzER of NEW York. 
The most interesting phase of polli- 
tics just at present seems to be con- 
tained in the state of New York. 
There we find one of the most capa- 
ble and energetic men that could be 
elected to the governorship of any 
state a Democrat, but with surprising- 
ly progressives principles, and Mr. 
Sulzer also openly opposing Boss Mur- 
phy and the other apostles of ‘Tam- 
many who wrecked Dix’s administra- 
tion and threatened to put the quie- 
tus on to that of Governor Sulzer’s 
if he does not toe the mark they have 
set. 
It is not an entirely impossible as- 
sumption that the Progressive leaders 
will see in Sulzer a strong champion 
of their own party, and they may try 
to induce him to come over to their 
ranks before the next presidential 
election. Already the few Pregressive 
newspapers of the East have started 
throwing bouquets at Governor Sul- 
zer complimenting him on his stand 
in his inaugural address, when he 
voiced his belief of a thoroughly pro- 
gressive administration and professed 
an unwillingness to be dominated by 
the ‘I‘ammany bosses while in office 
But Mr. Sulzer will have a hard 
time during his administration if he 
tries to effectually oppose the strong 
influences which have run through the 
Democratic party in the Empire state 
for so many years. Tammany wreck- 
ed Dix’s administration when he re- 
fused tc bow tu their will ana aithough 
Sulzer is a strong man and has the 
couarge of his convictions he is apt 
to be obliged to resort to public en- 
dorsement of his term in office if he 
would succeed. 
A Municipay, THEATRE For Boston 
The appearance of the North- 
hampton Players in Boston this week 
under the auspices of Mayor Fitz- 
gerald and Governor Foss purposed 
to show the advisability of a municip- 
al theatre for the Hub. Fitzgerald 
claims as a reason for the need of 
such a theatre the “tendency of the 
treatrical managers to provide amuse- 
ment of light nature.” But what re- 
lation that has to Boston and vicinity 
is hard to determine, for in Boston at 
present there is to be found every 
conceivable sort of theatrical offering 
that is bound to please the tastes of the 
most particular. There is certainly 
no attraction in Boston as foolishly 
frivolous as the mayor’s insistent ren- 
dering of “Sweet Adeline.” 
_ Mrs. Wilson is to discourage frivo- 
lity and extravagance in the White 
House. A reckless assertion.

The artificial scarcity of coal may 
wake up the Legislatures and courts 
to the fact that municipal coal pock- 
ets may be necessary in the near fu- 
ture. The trust and local dealers are 
exhibiting too many tricks of the trade 
just at present. 
It is rather hard on governors of 
states when they have a reputation of 
being simply tools for getting persons 
out of jail. But in this state we have 
been given a striking example of this 
condition prevailing. 
Californians are saying some bad 
things about the weather man, who 
has served up to the Pacific coast some 
of the sharpest weather on record. He 
predicted the Ohio flood in time, how- 
ever. 
Diners in New York hotels can ex- 
pect almost any attraction from a 
cabaret show to a waiters’ strike these 
days. “The strike is on!’’ seems to 
be the password. 
A fresh outrage in New York oc- 
casionally emphasizes the utter impos- 
sibility of effectually stamping out 
crime in the police department of that 
city. 
New York is getting up-to-date. A 
court order has been obtained by the 
district attorney allowing the last of 
the horse car lines in that city to equip 
itself with electricity.

It looks as though business would 
be good for the steel trusts during 
the Wilson administration. It is ru- 
mored that Col. Gaston of the Na- 
tional Shawmut Bank is to succeed 
George Von L. Meyer as Secretary 
of the Navy. 
Chicago is to have a children’s thea- 
tre to give pantomime, dramatized 
fairy tales and motion pictures. This 
is a good move and if not overdone 
should be successful. 
Sentiment among the women at 
army posts is said to be strongly in 
favor of restoring the canteen. ‘They 
have had a chance to see the working 
of both systems. 
A bill supported by Senator Crane 
is in Congress giving a firm authority 
to utilize 1,022,000 horse power from 
the Connecticut river. Some power 
grab! 
Mr. Munsey, Progressive, seems to 
be “in wrong.” 
Sulzer stands for the spoils system. 
It is now Pro BUNCO Publico.
