little difference whether the Democratic or Rcpub-

Alligator Skins.

1t "queer start" as Dick Swiveller would
express it, the trade in alligator skins, and yet
there is such a trade. The New York CONNER
cial Advertiser gives an account of it, and says
that it is ia the hands of one house in Spruce
street in that city, and amounts to 5000 skins an
nually. The skins must not be of too old or too
young aligators-the young ones being too ten
der and the old too scsly. Neither can they be
killed by bullet through the skin, but the rep
tile must be shot in the eye or in some part not OF
use. Out of Q lot Of q thousand skins, only two
hundred and fifty we're rated rs first class. They
make waterproof boots. and are used by sports
men who are rich and able to afford the expense.
But small part Of the exterior covering of the
alligator is useful for the purpose and the tanned
skins sell from S36 to SiS dozen, those of extra
quality being somewhat higher.

The compromise in the case of Sweeney
exempliiies New York justice. A great
parade was made of the civil suits against
the members OF the ring, which, under
Tamn many, ruled New York, and high ex-
pectations were raised of the sums that
would be recovered. Thus far the amount
recovered has been about 500, 900. to Sc
cure which the cost in lawyers fees has
been about 1920. 900, nearly one-third OF
the gross amount. This is exclusive OF
the $500, 900, for which 1t is said that
Sweeney has been let off. and from which,
doubtless, comparing deduction must be
made in the way of fees.
The money due from the members OF
the ring is not an ordinary debt; 1t is
stolen property. and to compromise it is
in the nature of compromising felony.
1t is an operation similar TO that of some
bank directors who bargain with the men
who have robbed the bank from without
or within, and restoring the other half.
Mr.. Sweeney has driven better bargain.
He has not surrendered half his stealings
and the city loses In the decentralization oil
Justice more than the whole Of his indebt'
eduess. 1t is direct offer to officials
charged with the administration Of the
finances of the city that they may steal
with impunity. If they will divide the
plsnder with the city that they rob. 1t is
well known that Conolley is in negotiation
with the authorities for the terms on which
the suits against him shall be discontinued,
and he be permitted to return to New
York. The members of the infamous ring
ale treated not like criminal who have
stolen the public money, but like honest
debtors of disputed sums, the accounts to
be. adjusted on u basis equitable to both
parties. aSw
The fact is that not much was gained in
New York by breaking up the old ring.
So long as T.mmany, the great mother Of
iniquity, rules, the government is about as
bad as It was before. One set u thieves
has been cast out, but 1t is succeeded by
others. similar in theii character and their
purposes. Municipal government, under
the suffrage of New York. has proved a
