HONOR TO RHOM HONOR.

One of our City's minor journals, which
sedulously labors to prolong precarious USE
less existence by toadying to "the powers that
"be," whatever they be, modestly divides the
credit of the recent victorious struggle against
Tammany's cOrruptions between itself and The
Times, insisting that THE TRIBUNE has been
of no service and is entitled to no credit what
ever in the premises.
We purpose not to traverse this latter asser-
ton. Knowing right we'll that we have tried
to expose the Tammany frauds and bring
their authors to justice, and that we have done
all that seemed consistent with candor and
truth to secure these ends, we make no claim
to efficiency or tact in the premises, and sub
NIT without argument or remonstrance, as we
do without apprehension, to the judgment of
others. If the cause had better soldiers than
we are, 30 much the better for the cause, and
thereat we heartily rejoice.
The Times was rarely fortunate in securing,
through the intervention of patriot whom
the Ring refused to purchase at his own valu-
alton, an early transcript, surreptitiously made,

bate Democratic prodigality and theft not so
easy for the editor of Democratic organ, as
the Staats-Z eituno is known to be. That jour
nal sacrificed something and risked much in
taking ground against the Tammany robbers; ;
and when its editor, in the Nominating Con-
vention of the Democratic Reformers, proposed
the name of Gen. FRANZ SIGEL for the best office
to be filed ut our recent election, and carried
him through triumphantly, the battle OF Reform
was half won. Hitherto, Republicans had been
asked to vote for Democrats exclusively In
opposition to the Tammany candidates, and hau
seen the men thus lifted into Importance Dy
their SURFACES regularly sell out to Tammany
at the very next election. The Republicans
had thus been used to aggrandlze Democrats
till they had grown tired of the process
and could not have been induced to sup
port County or City ticket composed OIL
Democrats exclusively at the recent Eiection'
The nomination of Sigel by the Democratic
Reformers changed the whole aspect OF the
case, rendering hearty cooperation among he
formers of all parties not only possible but
easy and morally certain. Henceforth, victory
was within our grasp; and to no man are we
more indebted for it than to Oswald otten-
dorfer-to no journal more than to the Stats
Zeitun9.
Mr.. benjamin Wood of The Daily NetoS has
likewise been most efficient in the work-not
so much through the columns of his journal
as by his knowledge of all the influences Sc
cretly fermenting in the Democratic ranks
which might be combined in active opposition
to the Tammany oligarchy. His experience as
Mozart chief was invaluable; his oOunsels
were wise and prudent he knew where to
strike with effect and his every blow told.
So Mr.. Mark M. Pomeroy of The Democrat
welded very considerable influence among
Democrats, and spared no effort to secure
Reform victory. No journal has been more
outspoken and vehement than his in condemn
ing the robbers and their robberies.
Other journalists-in fact, nine-tenths OF
those who attempt to influence public opinion
through periodicals issued in our City-bave
done nobly; Thomas Mast perhaps most effect
lively of any. But we cannot speak more fully.
Suffice it that-putting THE TRIBUNE entirely
out of the questionable pretensions of The
Times and its tender are unfounded and ridcu-
lOus.

AS the election returns continue to come in,
the magnitude of the Republican triumph in
the State becomes more apparent; our latest
figures show even a more decided Republican
majority in the Legislature. Phe Assembly now
stands 90 Republicans to 80 Democrats, and the
Senate "a Republicans to Democrats. This
looks very much like a breaking up of the
Democratic party in the State, for which they
have the Tammany Regency to thank. The
majority for Scribner, for Secretary of State,
is yet undetermined, but now stands
at 1885, though it is likely to be
increased or diminished as further returns ar
rive. At any rate, the victory is one of mag
nifcent proportions, and is ample enough to
encourage every friend of reform in the work
yet remaining, as well as a compensation for
the arduous labors of the canvass just con-
Guided.
From other States we have no special
changes from results heretofore announced.
The majority of the Democratic candidate for
Governor in Maryland is considerably reduced,
being more than 5000 less than that of the
Democratic majority of 1870. In the Maryland
Legislature, too, we have gained fifteen votes,
one in the Senate and fourteen in the House
of Delegates. Maryland is slowly but surely
redeeming herself The end of tyranny, igno
rance, and theft in public affairs really seems
to be at hand.

Old England adheres tenaciously, among
other ancient mummeries, to the gorgeous
pageant called the Lord Mayors Show" an
account of which we publish under its appro-
pirate head. When Mr.. Bradlaugh and his
valiant men in buckram get into office in
England they propose to make short work
with such costly displays and feasts as those
which took place in London yesterday. The
exchange of international courtesies at the
Lord Mayors banquet was, however, some
thing more than an empty show. The speeches
of Minister Schenck and the British Premier
are full of an earnest and hearty good feeling
speaking volumes for universal peace and for
that brotherhood which we claim with the
Mother Country.

How charming trait is delicacy In Sheriff |!
The extreme civility with which Mr.. Brennan
has treated the Ring rascals whom he was
directed to arrest is as remarkable as that Of
the executioner who apOlogized to the con-
demned for the unpleasant duty he had to
perform. 1t is really an example worthy of
all praise, and especially worthy of imitation
by Mr.. Brennan's Deputy Sherifs, who gen.
orally make themselves as disagreeable as pos
sible, at least to incOnsequential prisoners, and
who make arrests, if well paid by those who
secure the warrants, at hours when the prls-
oners find it impossible to invoke the imme-
date aid of the law or of friends. But while
recommending the officers of the law to per-
form their unpleasant duties with tact and del
icacy, it seems necessary also to remind them
that the law authorizes and the people will
brook no delay in carrying out the orders Of
the courts because they happen to be leveled
at personal or political friends The arrests
of Tweed and Fields, for instance, were by
the Sheriff unnecessarily delayed, and an op-
portunity given them to put much Of the
stolen money to recover which these suits are
begun into other hands. Such delays the
strongest appeals of friendship and of civility
will not justify. VIII Sheriff Brennan take
this hint from the result Of the late electiOnf

TUESDAYS LESSON.

The citizens of Now York, in the midst OF
their rejoicing over q victory which has
overthrown so corrupt O power as Tammany,
have something beside congratulations to in
terchange. For while their ballots have dealt
the death blow to the common enemy, it cannot
be forgotten that ballots brought him into
life, nourished him and supported him while he
was carrying on his work OF decentralization
and plumber, and therefore ballots are respon-
sble for the shame. The story of Tammany
corruption is no now one. Indeed so often
was it told that men came to look on the
name as natural cOncomitant of City and
State politics. Every reading, thinking voter
knew Just as well 1870 as in 1871 that legiSla-
ton at Albany was mockery to free govern
ment; that the ballot in this city meant only
q form of suffrage, to result as repeaters and
counters might desire; that the New Court
House WAS a nursery of thieves, and that
Tweed's brcwn-stone palace was only proof
of his plumber. Leading Democrats. men high
in power, statesmen against whose personal
honesty no word has ever been spoken, were
cognzant of all these things.
But was there an cutlery in 1907 Could we
then induce men of high social standing and
acknowledged honor to contest seats OF office
with Tammany's minions7 Were our merchants
then willing to devote their time to the study
of municipal affairs or to close their places of
business that every effort might be made to
cleanse our augean government Did the
honest portion of the Democratic party Of
this State avow their condemnation of
Tweed and his gang, and pledge their
most earnest efforts to undo the wrong that
had been committed under their party nameF
All men know the answers to these queries.
Not till every stone in the Courthouse was
made to tell it's own story of plumber, every
room to echo the shameless corruption to
which it was a witness, every job by means of
which the Ring increased its hoard exposed
to the people-not till the public shame be-
came each citizens dishonor, and the crimes
committed under party name babe fair to
crush the party with their weight-did the
reaction come.
This lesson once learned must not be for
gotten. For the present corruption seems
thrOttled; but in city and State so connected
as ours are only persistent effort can keep the
government pure. If next Fall the same
mon stay away from the polls who did 30 in
1870, if honorable men refuse State offices, and
only thugs attend OF control the primaries,
the step backward will be as sudden as the
progress of reform. The work of the mo-
ment is the uncOmpromising punishment of
the Ring thieves. That public ex-
ample must be offered. Then, we
must keep the doors barred against their
successors. The enthusiasm with which the
young men have entered into the present can
vass has been most encouraging, and with
them will rest in great part the result of the
future. They have seen corruption at its worst,
and can carry remembrance of it with them
for many years. Let their example ever be
what we have right to expect of them, and
it will then be "well with the Republic"

We add another chapter to those already
given by THE TRIBUNE concerning the shame
full traffic in medical degrees, honors, and
diplomas, carried on by so-called Colleges.
That these Colleges" are also the sources of
other influences which sap the founda-

which has been collected for THE TRIBUNE
conclusively shows that men who practice the
basest arts known to the medical profession
obtain their shadow of responsibility from these
institutions. An important step toward the
