The RoBBERs OF THE Pooh. Now that
the investigation into the management of
the Freedmans Savings Bank is going
on with so much energy in Washington
would it not be we'll for our authorities
to look into the savings banks which have
failed in New York? We do not doubt that
every one of these failures is the result of
criminal mismanagement on the part of the.
directors. This is q sweeping statement,
but there is no business which If well con-
Quoted need be more absolutely safe than
savings banks. The law throws around the
business the utmost protection A failure
may be accepted as prirna fdcie evidence that
the low has been broken. Why does not

MISPLACED CONFIDENCE" is the plea of
Babcock's counsel in opening the defence.
Joyce and Mcdonald were designing, scoun-
drelly spiders, who wove their adhesive
web around this unsuspecting administra-
ton fly. Babcock buzzed "thoughtlessly or
playfully" to them as he would to any simple
minded muscddin around the White House,
and all the time the naughty, horrid spiders
were roping him down with Shiny gossamer.
We fear this picture of Babcock is more
ridiculous than pitiable

SOME OF THE NEWSPAPERS are complaining
because the Caucus Committee of the demo-
cratic party in the House contains three
members from Louisiana and none from New
York These complaints are unworthy. The
whole action of the democratic party in the
House, since the organization and beginning
with the election of the Speaker, shows that
the majority think the North and East have
no rights which the West and South are
bound to respect. There used to be good
deal of talk about sectionalism but Speaker
Kerr and his friends have taught us what
sectionalism really means, SO far in the dis
tribution of the honors of the House.

The TURN1SGs AND WNDrNGs of the sanity
swindler, Winslow, are described in our
cable dispatches, and his extreme cleverness
only hoped him out of the Dutch frying
pan into the English fire. 1t is so pleasant
to be able to trace the providential in the de-
feat of villany that when we think of Tweed,
Sweeny, Connolly, Fields and Genet, Sc
curely beyond the reaching arms of New
York justice, we cling to the hope that even
our municipal scoundrels may yet stumble
into their own traps, like Winslow.

Mr.. JENKINS, OF ENGLAND mot Ginx baby
Jenkins has vindicated his claim TO unbe-
lief in a personal devil through Judgment
rendered by the Judicial Committee of the
Privy Council. The Rev. Mr.. Cook, who
denied Mr.. Jenkins some of his rights as an
.Episcopalian, has been admonished not to
do SO in future. 1t is not very certain how
much of the devil Mr.. Jenkins believes in !;
but, for the sake of vivid pictorial art, we
are sorry that the spear-pointed tail and the
cloven feet have nothing in them on which
the Privy Council could hang an approval
of the judgment Of the Court Of Arches.
What will Mr.. Moody say to this English
decision?

Senators and Patronage.

1t is said that one of the reasons why
Pinchback is not admitted to the Senate is
that West, the Senator now in his seat from
Louisiana is anxious to have monopoly of
the patronage This whole question of
patronage has grown into monstrous scan
dal so far as the Senate is concerned. The
Senate has adopted custom, which is vir-
tually a rule, that it will not confirm any
nomination made by the President unless it
is satisfactory to the Senator from the State
of the candidate named. Consequently if
the President should send in good man the
name is hung up unless the Senator should
acquiesce. This was seen when the Presi-
dent sent in the name of Pardee for Judge
from Louisiana. West did not like
and the notorious Billings nomi-
mated in his stead. Consequently the
author of the Billings nomination is West
We can scarcely imagine more fragrant
violation of the spirit of the constitution
than is involved in this rule. The Senate is
rapidly becoming an oligarchy which may
be dangerous to the liberty of the country.
If we ever do have truly democratic party
it must address itself to the business of
limiting the powers of the Senate by repeal
ing rules" like this, which makes an adj
venturer like West the dictator of patronage
for sovereign State like Louisiana.

SAVINGS BANK PERJURY. decision of
Justice Duffy in the case of the criminal in
formation sworn against the officials of the
defunct Third Avenue Savings Bank is one
which we are glad to think the law enabled
him to make If these defendants could
gain judgment going to prove that swear
ing falsely to savings bank statement was
no perjury it would be sad thing for the
tens of thousands of our citizens who risk
the custody of their little savings upon the
strength of such sworn statements. Justice
Duffy put the matter on its proper base when
he decided that perjury in this case needed
no special law to make it criminal The
case can now come to trial on its merits, and
if perjury has been, as alleged, committed
the road to punishment is clear.

We are informed from Albany that Mr..
Killian, the introducef of the mo seat no
fare" bill into the Assembly, anxious TO per-
feet the measure will SO amend it as TO cover
all the ground taken by Mr.. Bergh in the
admirable draft of bill published in these
columns and drawn up by the lawyer of his
society That is right. We want plain
measure which shall provide for the need Of
the travelling public and afix the penalty
for violation of it's provisions in such dis
tinct manner as to leave no loophole for the
grasping car companies to wriggle out
of serving the public properly or suffering
for failure to do so. Whether this can be
done by properly amending Mr.. Killian's
bill or accepting Mr.. Berghs as substitute
we do not presume to say until we have seen
the amendments, but we like the business
like form of Mr.. Bergh's better than that of
Mr.. Killians as first presented. Outside of
making the bill ultimately enforce what it
so clearly intends we. have no choice of
FORMS We want the letter and spirit of the
measure to join hands in relieving New York
in its use of the horse cars from unhealthful-
ness, indecency, discourtesy, discomfort and
afely-intrenched gangs of pickpockets. To,
protect their overlooking Golfers the
companies loudly proclaim their right to
continue infiicting these monstrous evils
upon our travelling public. They have no.
torious lobbyists at Albany, from Banana
Carey to the heads of the profession, engaged
in attempting to perpetuate these evils.
Members are to be bought up like cattle to
preserve these profitable outrages upon
health, comfort and morality. Even the
unfortunate horse car conductors have been
instructed to echo through day and night
the song of the companies that ''No seat no
fare will never do for a free people who are
in the future to cry for their straps
as the poor, drugged and starving
infants at the baby farmers are
said to cry for soothing syrup The
conductors, in denouncing ''No seat no
fare" do, of course, as they are bid, and
some of them, perhaps, with the more
alacrity, because the system which would
give them less work would also diminish
their chance of stealing. Thus we have the
grasping companies, the dishonest among
the conductors and the pickpockets on one
side, and the entire mass of the public on the
other. Which of these will prevail can be
little in doubt if the friends of decent transit
are only as keen and active as those who
champion indecent transit for their own gain.
