Justice must have smiled in New
York yesterday when Sergeant Crow
ley, the beast, was sentenced to seven
teen years aud six months to Sing Sing
prison for outrageously assaulting an
unprotected girl. The sentence was
richly merited though, death would have
been none too severe for such a human
brute. There are too many men-liber-
tines like Contemplating around and
watching for opportunities to ruin
young girls. But while we justly de-
nounce such inhuman fends, Crowley
is not wholly to blame. Who but the
parents permitted this girl to go unpro-
teoted to balls and other places of resort
where these lecherous whelps lay in
wait for just such unsuspecting victims?
The fact is that mothers are too careless
and Indifferent about where theiI
aughters go at night They too often
are b. foolish as to look upon an invita-.
ton to a ball that extends away into
the morning hours as very great com
pliment. How strange it is that a
mother should be SO insensiblt
to the great moral obligation she is un
der to her daughter to protect her and
keep her out of harms way. AS Ions
as there are parents to raise up giddy
Iyoung girls to delight more in stree
flirting, the ball room, bad hours ant
bad wine more than in the comforts ant
refnements of home, there will b.
plenty Of sin stepped wretches like
Sergeant Crowley watching for whom
they may devour.

BneriH's Sales.

AS an evidence of the depression of
trade in our country we mention the
fact that Sheriff Keim, of Philadelphia
advertises to sell on the 10Th of June
the real estate belonging to SO different
parties. In large cities there are many
forced sales every year, but this year
the number appears to be much larger
than usual. The prediction of improve.
ment in business in case of Mr.. Cleve-
lands election has not been verified
and the prospect ahead is not encourag
ing. On the contrary, unless wa
should occur in Europe, il now looks al
though we should have to wait lonl
time before there will be any grea
tactivity in the labor market, and tn
Sheriff will have great many NOR
sales to attend to.

HOW the Money Goes.

The REPUBLICAN commenced few
days ago to show by piecemeal how a
considerable portion of the city's money
went by the peculiar method Of "water-
ing" committee meetings for the pecu-
mary benefit Of Democratic members.
That Republican members reaped a
corresponding pecuniary benefit is not
denied, but they can safely go upon the
record in comparison with the Demo-
Gratis without suffering in character and
design. Notwithstanding the fact that
the city has been suffering for want OF
money, this continued little picking
has been carried on until some Demo
cratic members of Council have received
from $50 to $40 month for Council
meetings and committee meetings, and
in April one Democratic mem Der reach
ed as high as $50. SO. People some
times ask what there ia in the City
Council that 30 many want to become
members. These monthly salaries show
what there is in it. The question arises
are these the safest guardians of the
economy and good government of the
city, who seize upon every little trif1ing
excuse for an extraCouncil meeting and
committee meeting to bring a little peli
into their own pockets? This attention
to the little personal fees has cost the
city about a thousand dollars more the
present year Of Democratic rule than
the city ever paid before. This looks
like small amount to higgle over, but
it is one which indicates the disposition
Of City Council to grasp all that it can
get.
The same practice carried through
all the business of the City Council
would seriously cripple its efficiency.
1t is this perpetual whiting away
of the city's money that brings it face
to face at times with bankruptcy, and
indeed the city would have suffered in
her credit this very year had not the
Legislature came to her relief and Au-
thorized her to borrow $4,000, with
which to carry Cd the municipal gov.
eminent to the end OF the year. Even
now we are informed that there will bt
deficit of some $40, 900. At this rate
of expanding money the people WHIT
pay the taxes cannot stand the strain
More economy, not more expenditure
is needed at this time. The question
for voters to consider is, has the presen
City Council 80 conducted its finance
as to recommend it to public favor
Daily Republican., 1885-05-19

THE Times has found out that the
Republicans in Council are the cause OF
such high salaries being paid to the
members of the City Council This is Just
like the arguments of the Times, when
it is hard pushed to say something The
sincerity of the Times may be judged
by the fact thai for nine months of the
year Council had II Democrats and II
Republicans, and for the other thrp,
months, the Republicans only had !
members and the Democrats IA mem
bers of Council. 1t is a pity that tn,
majority should permit the minority t,
exert SUCH an influence. .Esop tells o
la wolf that once upon a tim,
went to stream to get drink. a
short distance below the wolf stood 6
lamb, which the wolf accused OF mud
Idying the water so that he could no
drink it. This was not the end of il
but sufficient to show the position O
the Democrats In the City Council.
