mr. CHARTER ELECTION.

Our CITY will elect Charter Officers a month
hence and we propose to let those nominal
Republicans who play the part of stool-pigeons
to the Tammany Ring go it alone, giving them
all they can make, but declining to be used to
further their ends Others will do as they shall
judge best
This City might be redeemed from the mis-
rule that now TObs and disgraces it. If 1t
shall not be- the fault rests with those who run
a part of the Republican machinery in the
interest and pay of Tammany Hail.
What is needed is hearty concentration of
effort on the part of all who desire honest and
frugal Municipal rule. AT one time the Citl-
zens' Association afforded the requisite nucleus
for such concentration, and we backed it
with whatever force we had AT once, a strong
and popular Republican was nominated for
Mayor on distinct party grounds, and Il
fierce struggle initiated with intent to crush
out the Reform movement The game sue
ceeded; the Reform movement was stifed
and Tammany Hall has ever since had full
swing. Most of those who supported Marshall
0. Roberts against John Hecker for Mayor did
not intend this result, but it was inevitable,
and we are now reaping the bitter fruits
1T Is not yet 700 laIe 10 lnlIldte % SUCCESSFUL
combination of all who wish the City governed
for the benefit of her inhabitants, and not in
the interest of any political party. The Re
publcans cannot break down the Tammany
domination by n partisan attack; they might
overthrow it by uniting with other citizens who
desire honest frugal rule, on platform
of City Reform independent of politics.
They might say to the WOrkingmen, Select
"honest, upright, intelligent men from your
franks who will promise to govern the
Getty for herself and not in the in
"terest of any political party and we
"will give them our votes, never asking
"nor caring what are their politics" The City
might thus be carried, as it trds carried against
Fernando Wood in 1857. We presume, how
ever, that it will not be, because too
many Republican wireworkcrs are in
secret league with the Tammany
magnates and bribed by them to keep
screeching "No Surrender Keep the flag
flying :" " No union with COpperheads " &c,
&c, in the interest of their secret benefactors.
ON the whole we shall probably advise our
City readers TO stay away from the polls next
month We certainly shall if there be no
prospect that their votes can effect any good.

DAMAGES EXTRAORDINARY

A remarkable case has been brought before
the Superior Court. Patrick 0'TOOe arragns
the Managers of the Society for the RefOrma-
ton of Juvenile Delinquents upon several
grave charges: First-that he was locked up
alone one night in each week during his de-
tention from March to June in an improper
room; secondhand he was not supplied with
proper food third-the Managers allowed YER
min in his room fourth-they did not cause
medical practitioner to attend upon him;
fifth-they did not provide teachers for him;
sixth-they did now allow him to be instructed
in his religion seventh-they did not inden-
ture him to his own father, nor to another man
who offered to take him; eighth-they kept
him after they said they would let him go.
From all these reasons and causes he has
fallen into l-health, contracted an unpleasant
(sic) disease, has been deprived of the cOnsola-
tons of religion, and is ignorant of the means
of making a livelihood for all which he
asks the Court to compel the managers to
administer consolation i'll the sum of $4,000
whether gold or greenbacks is not specified.
This is a jump ahead indeed. Master OToOle
was convicted before Justice Bowling of petty
larceny, and IN consideration Of his age was
saved from the striped dress, cropped hair, and
stone quarries of Blackwells Island, and sent to
a reformatOry institution, where detention can
scarcely be called Imprisonment. Because Mas
ter O'TOole, a convicted thief, was not fur
nished with private parlors, special servants,
a physician all to himself, and the regular SER
vices of his church, the boy gets angry, and
wants a little soothing syrup in the shape
of the check of the State Con-
troller for the sum of ten thousand
dollars. We have heard of actions Seldom
successfully for false imprisonment; but really
this young mans installing the House of Re-
fuge for the Fifth Avenue Hotel is the most
startling case yet reported. What if his ex-
ample should become contagious, and all the
gentlemen now at their country seats on Black
wells Island and at Sing Sing should proceed
against the juries,' judges, and prison keepers
for damages If the idea were not ludicrous,
we might be impeled to discuss it. Perhaps
we may when Master 0ToOle gets his ten
thousand dollars.

THE GROWTH or CORRUPTION.

We ask those who wish well to republican
institutions and TO this great City of New
York, to go back with us twenty years and
trace the growth of that disease which threatens
them with DEATH or something worse. Twenty
years ago, when perhaps the officials who now
kick and plumber this PROSTATE city had not
lost all sense of shame, the Sixth Ward, having
the same limits as it has now had n population
of $4,000, and cast 1906 votes at the
November election. In 1866, the popu-
lation of that Ward, of whom less
than One-third were native born. reached its
highest point, being, as given by the State
census of that year, 25.5G2, against 24,C0S in
1850. The census of 1860, like every trust in
the execution of which the controlling powers
of Tammany have any share was turned to
the service of corruption yet even that return
gave the Sixth Ward but 2G,G96 The enume-
ration of 1865. the substantial correctness of
which is admitted by every cOmpe-
tent and DISTINGUISHED person, shows
that the encroachments of trade and
manufactures had distinguished enough of the
tenement houses to bring the census of the
ward below 10000, the exact figures being
1874 If any one has distrust of conclusions
drawn from census returns, for which, we con-
fess, there are some good grounds, we would
briefly advert to two other lines of argument
which place the fact of the rapid decrease in
population of the ward beyond doubt. The
number of deaths, which are ascertaned with
almost perfect exactitude 10y the Health Officers
of our city, in the Sixth Ward in 1861, healthy
year. was 1854; in 1864, sickly year,
go; in 1867, 700; and in 1868, G07. The confirm
alton afforded by the reports of the Superin-
tendent of Buildings is equally strong During
the three years 1866, 1867, and 1863 but a single
dwelling was erected in the Ward. This, we
need hardly say, was tenement house.
Meanwhile tenements were demolished to make
room for twenty eight stores, six factories, one
workshop, and two public buildings, making
thirty-seven structures which were completed
in those years. not reckoning probably dozen
more unfinished at the date of the Superin-
tendents report. These buildings alone, at the
rate which population crowds the tenements,
and the tenements crowd the lots. would de-
prive the Ward Of at least 1000 of its in
habitants.
Let us next trace in this same Ward the
steady growth of corruption. AS we said be-
fore, in 1849 the Sixth Ward cast 1906 votes

THE ELECTIONS. .

From the best estimates we can make, WIN
the few returns at hand, we judge that Mel
sons majority over Sigel will reach about 90
900. while that of most of the candidates on
the Democratic State ticket will considerably
exceed that figure. The Senate will probably
stand 10 Republicans to II Democrats. Our
list of Assemblymen shows tie in that body;
but there are several members about whose
election we have grave doubts and we there
fore think it altogether probable that there
will be a Democratic majority in both branches
of the Legislature
The few scattering returns received from
Wisconsin indicate the reelection of Gov. Fair
child and the Republican State ticket, by from
5000 to 10000 majority. From Minnesota we
have nothing later than the brief dispatch
published yesterday morning; but we pre-
sumo there can be no reasonable doubt
that that State has been true
to herself and the Republican Party, nOtwith-
standing the efforts of a few misChievOus per-
sous heretofore honOred by the people of that
State to lead her astray. Maryland as was to
have been expected, has elected WoOlford, the
Democratic candidate for Controller, by very
large majority, with a Legislature to match. Mas
sachusetts has reelected her Governor State Off
GERS, and COunsellors, and has large majority in
each branch of the Legislature. 1t is under
stood that the party in favor of licensing the
sale of spirituous liquors have considerable
majority in the Legislature. a

Suicide without a reason both apparent and
adequate. is almost the rule of this extreme
effort to escape from the tedum of living In
many cases, we are satisfied that the felO-de-se
is the result of a desire to give pain to the
survivors, and of morbid laundering for a
kind OF revenge. In other cases, the suicide,
having for long period threatened to destroy
himself, with no intention of carrying the
menace into execution. has become familiar
with the idea, and rushes upon self-slaughter
merely to show to those who were incredulous
that he was in deadly earnest. Very often,
when reasons for the rash act are left in the
nature of an ante-mortem declaration,
there is cause to believe that, with
the usual cunning of insanity, the
real motive is studiOusly concealed. Finally,
there are cases of suicide in which the deed
can only be referred to positive suicidal
mania and we are inclined to think that such
cases are in the majority, for the reason that
nine men bravely bear the misfortune to which
the tenth succumbs.
These remarks are suggested by a rather
remarkable suicide which has just occurred at
Quincy, Ill.-that of Miss Pet Mckay, aged 1S,
and described us " a beautiful and accomplished
young lady" She effected her purpose by
drowning, the usual resource of women men
tally diseased rs she was. Her motive for the
deed, as set forth in "a note which she left
pinned to her cloak, was that everybody
hated her; that her friends were her
"enemies and that this was cold
land dreary world to live in" In the
same missive, she declared that " she did not
drown herself for love, and that she was
yet as pure as the beautiful snow" Here,
probably, was a case of physical arrangement
complicated with a strong suicidal propensity.
1t reminds us somewhat of the English gentle
man who averred as n reason for blowing out
his brains, that he was tired of dressing and
undressing; = and somewhat of another En-
gishman who left behind him note the pur-
port of which was that life had given him
"headache which nothing would cure but n
good church-yard sleep" This propensity
may remain latent for years, but may at any
time be stimulated by ill-health into fatal ac-
tivity; and although precaution against 1t is, in
many instances, impossible it should be remen-
bcrcd that a threat to commit suicide, being
always suspicious, should always arouse the
vigilance of kindred and friends.

pulp. Whoever has cranberry sauce on his
turkey to-day will not decline it tomorrow.
We invite attention to every plant or root
out of which sweetening can be made. The
area of sugar lands and the command of labor
on sugar estates is by no means adequate to
the growing demand. Cuba will be cut down
in her staple, and may sink to another St. Do
mingo. The hard maple will not do much
more for us than it has, and we look with
considerable eagerness to sorgO and to the
sugar-beet. Recent improvements III the art OF
managing sOrgo juice have made it practicable to
take from every acre well planted and cared fora
hundred or more gallons of siruD equal IN color
and flavor TO the best from the sugar houses.
The error thus far in planting the sugar beet
has been in an unwise selection of surface.
The black, rich soils of Illinois are not adapted
TO produce sweet juice. 1t should be tried
on our warmest and best clay loans. Shall
we next season. or during the decade OH which
we soon enter, have "a practical, efficient,
and economical steam pillow? That is
not so much a question for farmers
as for mechanical genius. Our general
surface is adapted to it, Our scale of opera
ton suggests it our civilization has reached
the point where it is demanded. Mechanics
have entered with singular power and efficiency
into nearly every other field of farm work. 1t
will presently be the opprobrium of our agri-
culture that we know no way to pick cotton
but with the fingers, and no mode of stirring
the soil but by horsepower.

All tenor singers, it is well known are of
sensitive, not TO say irritable disposition, of
which fact Mr. Sims Reeves gave further evil
dence recently at the Leeds theater. The
chorus engaged did so bother, distract, and
exasperate Mr.. Reeves, that as they were
leaving the stage he smOte one Of the delin-
quents with his fist, and another with his foot.
to the immense astonishment of the pit and
boxes. Those who sympathized with the as
saulted and battered chorsters began to hiss.
but Mr.. Sims Reeves came forward and made
an apologize speech. He declared that the
chorus singers were unseemly Tuflians-the
" worst he had ever met William opinion IN
which majority of the audience seemed to
concur. We confess that we have often expe-
rienced warm desire to kick all the mals
members of a chorus bat unfortunately We
have never had Mr.. Sims Reeyess opportunity
Of INDUCING in that act of simple justice.
