lcss element which did the mischief. But 1t is
not less plain that the riots would not have
occurred had the Socialists not furnished the
excuse for the outbreak by preaching violence
and revolution.
In the present case the same men declare
In advance that they will not hold themselves
responsible for the results of their demonstra-
ton. OF course this is absurd. The law will
hold them accountable without asking their
consent. and public opinion will sustain the
law. But IL the authorities do nothing but
plead humbly with the Socialists, and beg them
not 10 persist in their purpose, there is no tell
ing what may happen This fatuous policy
has already 80 embroidered Mr.. Champion that
he coolly proposes TO guarantee order on Lord
Mayors Day il the control OF the police Is
handed over to him and his friends. This is
a nroposition that the protection OF London
shall be handed over to men who, knowing
perfectly well that the dangerous classes will
take advantage of the opportunity to assault
and pillage the peacelble citizens, refuse to
de.ist from scheme certain to help forward
such proceedings Certainly the London pub
lie have little ground for confidence In the
wisdom and courage of their Official protectors,
and unless more vigorous measures are
adopted no surprise will be felt if the Trafal-
gar Square riots are repeated on the 9th of
November. Perhaps if the Lord Mayors Show
is abandoned the Socialists may be Dlacated,
but such a concession can only be the begin
ming of disastrous surre0ders.

A BfDLY GOVERNED CITY.

The Sun will find that il has dilicu!t task
before it, if it undertakes to prove that the
government of this city Is honestly and eco
nomically administered. Every time iegislat-
i've committee has scratched beneath the sur
face it has found extravaganza and corruption.
The commission appointed by Governor Tilden
after an elaborate investigation made re-
port in 1877 which stated that the city had
"Outrun all former examples of wastefulness,
extravaganza and corrupt administration, and
added that the public debt of the City of New
York, or the larger part of 1t, represents vast
aggregate of moneys wasted, embezzled or
misappled." Since that time the current ex-
penses of the city government have increased
over 20 per cent for each inhabitant, which de-
monstrates that the prodlgaliy and dishonesty
still continue.
There is abundant cumulative proof of that
fact. The Roosevelt Committee disclosed an
appalling state of affairs in several depart
ments, resulting in the indictment of several
officials and in suits against others for the re-
covery of misapplied funds. Another committee
proved that the Public Works Department
was rotten to the core, and that large sums
were diverted TO the pockets Of favored con-
tractors. But that brought no Improvement,
as has been shown by the recent removal of
Squire. Another committee revealed a maIad-
ministration in the Excise Board. while still
another furnished the evidence of the thievery
in the Board of Aldermen. There are still
other departments that have as yet escaped
probing and may escape until some such feaI
less person as Mr.. Roosevelt undertakes the
difficult work. But these facts certainly do
not bear out The Sun's theory that the city
government is as well administered as that of
other cities What other city has been SUBJ
ected to such shame and humiliation 7 And
as long as the Campbells, SpiDulas, Slevins,
and that class of meu are regarded as fit repre-
sentatives of the Democratic party, what
chance is there for improvement There is no
probability that Mr.. Hewitt can do any more
in that direction than his immediate predeces-
sors He declares that he has fear of the
men responsible for this misgovernment, and
he does not regard that as an issue in the can
VasS.

BROOKLYNS MORAL ISSUE.

BROOKLYN voters have distinct moral issue
inv Olved in their local election. The laws 10
relation to gambling and betting ON horse
races have been openly and persstently violated
for years. The Democratic adminst ration of
justice, especially under the present manage
ment of the District Attorneys Office, has been
notorious for inefficiency and incompetence.
The Republican County Convention has nOmi-
pated for District Attorney the ackno wledged
leader of the Brooklyn bar, General Tracy,
with the understanding that he shall rigldly
enforce the laws against gambling and repress
the growing evil of betting and pool-selling
at racing tracks. In his speech of acceptance
General Tracy made this direct appeal for
support,

early spring until fall and have had 1t year after

whether 1t shall checked believe
people Brooklyn give expression to their sentiment
that question that sentiment will be respected
Here is practical question of local govern
ment on which Brooklyn citizens without
regard to party can unite. There are now
three running tracks within the county limits
which are in active operation six months out
of welve. Laws which are enforced in New
York and Queens counties have been openly
violated on these tracks. The tardy and in
efficient prosecutions under District-Attorney
Ridgway have resulted in miscarriage of
justice, which was confidently predicted by the
gamblers themselves when the jury was
made up. The continuance of these immoral
practices is known to be dependent upon
Democratic success in the approaching
election. General Tracy's speech commits him
80 unequivocally to vigorous warfare upon
.hcse growing and insidious abuses that good
,itizens must see to it that he becomes District
A ttarne1 with thousands of votes to snare.
