GOVERNOR CORNELL in his anxious am
bition to be renominated has endcavored to
drag ex-senator Conkling into the mire.
When we rccollect that to Mr.. Conkling
Governor Cornell owes his prominence in
public affairs, and particularly his position
of Governor, we gain considerable insight
into the tortuous workings of the mind Of
narrow and selfish man, whose success
has far cutrun his hopes or deserts. What
ever the effect Of Governor Cornell's course
in causing to be made the publications he
has, that Mr.. Conkling tried to bribe him
to sign certain bills, he has succeeded beyond
all question in establishing two facts: His
ingratitude to the man without whose
helping hand he would not to-day oc-
cupy the position he docs, and the, to
him at least, much more important fact
that provided his story be true), after
many years of intimacy with so shrewd a
man, and SO acute judge of men as Mr..
Conkling, he (Mr. CornelD has failed to i'm.
press1 Mr.. Conkling with his (Cornell's)
honesty and flrmness, but had made the
impression upon that gentleman that he
was venal and open to bribery.
Men do not offer brides to men, any more
than they make advances to women, with
out they have some reason to believe that
their propositions will be kindly received !!
And in this particular instance Mr.. Cor.
nell, according to his own story, took Mr..
Conkling's alleged corrupt propositions
under advisement for something like two
weeks.

THE OPPONENTS of the plans Of the Mis-
sissippi River Commission do not say that
all who favor those plans are corrupt.
They do not say that the Commission is
corrupt. But they do say, and THE CRITIC
has abundantly demonstrated it, that the
plans of the Commission are futile for good.
They point to tho River Po, in Italy,
where levees have been in use for centuries,
and show that that river now runs on q
ridge, its bed being elevated above the
country through which it flows. They
ask, How is similar result to be prevented
ON the Mississippi If the levee system is
adopted?
They point to the Hoang Ho, the yell
low River, Of China, where after thou
sand years of levees the turbid flood of the
river burst through the mighty embank
ments, with which man sought to restrain
it, and made for itself new and nearer
channel to the sea, causing such tremend
Gus destruction of property, such awful loss
of life that that stream has since been
called the River of Sorrow. They ask,
Why should we pave the way for similar
calamity?
They demonstrate the futility of levees
on this mighty stream they show how the
jetties at tho South Pass and the dams
across the mouths of the other passes have
obstructed the free flow of the river to the
gulf, and have helped to cause overhows,
and have added immensely to their vol
ume.
They show that the system presented by
the River Commission is simply an attempt
to control the river by brute force and is
opposed to natures methods. The oppo
nents of the levee system present system
which will act in concert with natures
forces and will do all that is necessary tC
be done to improve the navigation Of the
river and prevent the overflow of its valley

Wishing He Could Order % Lashes.

Joseph Hampson, Of Orange, was
arraigned before Judge McCarter al
Newark yesterday, in the Court OF
Quarter Sessions, for wife beating
and pleaded guilty. Judge McCarter
said that such cases as this puzzled th'
Court as to what disposition should
be made Of them. If the man was
sent to prison, the wife, in many
cases, would have to go to the Poor
House and be supported by the tax
payers, while the jail had no terrors
for the husband 1T is a pity" said
the Judge, addressing the prisoner
''that the Court cannot sentence you
to receive twenty-five lashes, well laid
on, on the bare back. That would
prove efficacious, and you would not
come back in a hundred years, if yo,
lived so long; and then, too, yor
could go to work again and the tax
payers Of the county would not hav'
to support you IN Jail" The pris
oner was allowed to go. the wife hav,

Is any respectable man satisfied
with the condition of this city with
respect to the liquor traffic? Is there
any person Of intelligence who does
not feel the disgrace, the danger, the
enormous evil Of it? With the ex-
ception Of a few of the best residence
avenues and streets, every corner CT
the city has its grog-shop. The Ex-
else Board has granted 4,17O licenses
to so-called hotels while the total
number of places in which strong
drink is sold, as proved by the returns
of the Internal Revenue Collectors, is
more than twice as great. The Toni s
is crowded full and brimming over with
prisoners awaiting trial; the criminal
courts are overwhelmed with business;
the capacity of the institutions on
Blackwell's Island is overtixed; week
after week the gangs Of convicted men
and women go to Sing Sing and
Auburn; the number of murders and
other crimes Of violence is appallingly
large; a Sunday without murder l.
now rare, and last Sunday there were
two, while almost every day of the
week is marked by a shooting or a
stabbing; in the tenement houses
destitution and misery abound. The
stoutest apologist for the present sys-
tenn would hardly venture to deny
that most Of this sickening array OF
crime and suffering is due directly o.
indirectly to the liquor traffic. The
young boy just taking his first step IL

children are without bread, the loves

are all able to obtain liquor without

Death In a Bunko. Room.

A sad occurrence during race week
last year was the death of an aged and
respected citizen, who had been in
veigled into den of bunko men on
Asylum street. His death was from
leart- disease, due probably to the ex-
element and fright when he found him.
self alone in a room with a party of
roughs and all strangers to him. The
police made diligent search for the ras-
Gals, and although two or three arrests
were made right parties were never dis
covered. At least one of them was
here again last week. and, under the be-
lief that the affair had blown over and
had been forgotten. revealed to one or
two persons the secret of The last mo-
ments of the victim He WAS induced
to enter the room by man who pre-
tended acquaintance with him. Then
the usual practices of bunke men in de-
frauding their victims were attempted.
He became suspicious, and finally fright
ened. It was noticed that a strange
expression appeared upon his features.
and moment later he fell back in his
chair. ALI of the men, with the excep-
ton of the one who tells the story, fed
the room at once. He regarded the
affair as nothing more than a simple
fainting fit, and used such means as he
was conversant with. TO revive the old
gentleman. They were of no avail.
Then he slipped his hand beneath the
vest and found that the heart had ceased
to heath. Rough as he is, and aecus-
toned to scenes of strife. he relates that
he was staggered for a moment. and
stood, staring dumbfounded at the body.
Then he turned away. locked the door.
and went quietly but quickly down the
stairs He made no attempt to find his
companions, but fed town on the first
train leaving the asylum street depot.
