Murphy's attending personally to the rebuking by the Democratic B?te Com? mittee of the Putnam Coupty Democrats' failure t?> nominate a candidato for th? Assembly shows the keenness of his In? terest in the election of Assemblymen. y be lots otbors ofTor such r?solu* fions as Umso for the punhlouo.it Of tho Putnam County '?traitera.*' bul be wished to ?t>. all the party in il)?? state [know b?.\v be, tho boss, personally felt ! about any traffic that would reduce his ?han..- of dominating the L?gislature again next winter. The hose is lighting bitterly for con troi <?r til?1 Assembly because i Republi? can majority in the lower house would be ? hard blow to his preetige. it would mean that the state had repudiated hi'ii in disgust, that the spectacle of Ms open bogging ??f both Legislature and Governor, of bis holding the D'Htnocratic majority undo <? his thumb, while be j tried personally to train through the elec? tion of Sheehan. had turned the stom? ach of ttie electorate It arould mean .that the state feared another year of ( Murphyism, with its prospect of even worse legislation than such shocking Ipatronage grabt as the Court of ?'lalms bill, tbe unootfstitutlanal Levy law scheme to disfranchise the enemies of Tammany, and the scandalous sttempt to apply ripper legislgtioo t.? ihe pov eminent of tin's city in the Murphj Gay nor charter. The hoss takes the whip of discipline into his own hands and cracks it s?> that the whole party may se? and hear. ]],. bas everything at stake In the filling of the Asseinhly his mastery of the state, bli opportunity to us.? the Legis? lature for his own and Tammany's benefit. Some seem to think that last on was a "co as far :i? you like" session with the boss and Tammany. Not tl til, n<> doubt the boss was eir enmspect, according to his lights. The Levy law, the Court of Claims Job and the ripper charter were moderation, ac? cording to thp Murphy standard, the Murphy who, as tos mugarnmp associ ttes of last year tl und us. -was "actU ale?! only by the best of motives" and determined not tg d<? anything which arould turii public opinion s gainst hit party. If the public dites DOt tdeqUfltelj resent the last sesslofl Murphy will he en*bo1dened and "go the limit'1 in the next DEFIANT niifOrRATt. It must have shocked and surprised Murphy <?f Tammany to team that his elaborate resolutions at the meeting of the Democratic State ?'ommlttee did not annihilate the local branch "f the Demo? cratic League ObvlOUSljf, when th?* i,,.?.?, denounced that orgsnifcatio? a? a traitor to "the Interests <>f bhr party" i; should have slunk away into outer darkness. Instead., it denied the rieht ??: Murphy t_. define anybody's nomoc? racy and repudiated his Substitution of Murphj ism for the real, simon-pure .W* fersonlan brand. ITnklndest cut of all, II advised a wholesale attack on Mur? phy, after the following fashion: 'it is "not enough tO defeat some of his legls "lative candldatea To make it clear "th:.1 the voters of this city refuse to 'Countenance bis leadership the county "tiiket must be defeated." Democrats opposed to "tbe Murphy machine." the league contends, hey? nothing to do hut vote the fusion ticket. Citizens of any other political faith op. posed to the domination of <iiy, county and stale affairs by a brutal, selfish boss have nothing to do tint voie f..r the fusion candidates and tgtinst Murphv and Murphylsm Murphy showed his Consideration for the voters when he jammed the outrageous and unconstltu? ! liona] i.evy election la* through his Leg ? Mature and made bis Governor stand for that sssanll MI the rights of the lu* dividual. The voters now have their ! turn to show their appreciation of such 1 misdeeds. r-1 Y.4 7> . ?_??? CEX8U8. The i'anadian CeUSUS of 1011 dispels Mme Illusions which have boon current about the growth ??f our northern neigh? bor, it i? evident thai recent Immi? gration into ?anada from Great Britain Land the I'nitcd States has been much overeatlmsted. It used to be said ihat nearly 100,000 Americans were moving annually across tbe boundary line into the rich Western provinces, and credit wat given on both side- of the border to the claim that In tha decade from 1901 t?? 1911 at least 2,100.000 new let tiers had poured Into Canada. That could no. have been the case, since the total gain In population for the deads (urns out to be only 1,710.554. The nat? ural growth of population In a countrj ? i ada's stage of development would be at leasl 25 per cent, and thai groarth should have produced s gain of more than 1300,000 Ihe population In 1001 having been i?.371.315. if there was s normal Increase by reproduction.

It will assure to New York the possession of two extensive reservations on its ocean front, quite different in character and uses, but ea?h in its own way almost Indlspenaabl ? The Dreamland site will give us I spa cinus pleasure ground quickly and cheap? ly accessible from ntost parts of the city and well tilted to bo tho daily resort of multitudes. Tha Hooka way T'.each park will be n little more remote, hut for that reason will be of special value to tinny, and will afford, in part of its extendve area, an Ideal site for the p-roat seaside sanatorium for which private munifi? cence has already provided funds, rach ??f the two will ndmirably complement the other, and- together they will give the metr?poli, an unsurpassed outlook for health and for pleasure upon the sea. Wo take a certain special pleasure in this result, for the reason tha* both of these projects bav? been itrongl] end persistently commended in our columns A .-hort time ag?> it wan feared that rivalry between the two pites might oaiw?? the loss of both. We then sttg gested that tbe proper solution of Ihe problem was for tin* city to take them both. That Is what It will do. and in BO doing it wdil do well. "\nr so uncir ? .. small thing to Mayor Gaynor i- Bn inci-pase of HM_OO,000 in the d_y*S .'i nun! budget, in his explanation r,f his reasons for approving the tochers' equal pay bill ho dismisses it oasi'y as "not so great after all." The trouble with it It that it will lend to various oiher ^niall things of th" -am?, soif. A few days ago the Mayor was prevented only by the other members of the Hoard ?>f Estimate and Apportionment from making another little addition to the tax* psyers' bills in the form <<f an Increase of th*- firemen's pay. an increase more reasonab'e and more Just, it mus? DC said, than the increase in the teacbers' salaries Just accppte?l by the Mayor. That advance was only temporarily post? poned. The Mayor's cheerful BSSUrsnCS in re faid to the co>t of equal pay. that th-*> taxpayers are "not niggardly" and that the city can save elsewhere the addi? tional expense that If Is put to in thi?* direction, is fut] of promise of large t., . bills f.?r the public. The Mayor recently told an andlence at the Budgel show that budgets would go on Increasing They will, rapidly, if th?? Mayor l"oks on every $.T..<W>?'>0 of additional ex I pense as a little i h 111 rr after all, to he i ?^aved "in other ways."
