Although some of the New York city news
papers adopt hopeful and semi-satisfied tone
regarding the results thus tar reached in the
Jacob Sharp investigation, it is difficult to see
where the victory comes in. Mr.. Conkling and
his colleagues have made Ii appear very proba-
BILE indeed that the Broadway railroad
franchise was bought through the board
Of aldermen, but it did not require one TO be
raised from the dead TO make people believe
that. 1t is one thing to collect moral proof of
iniquity and quite another to fasten legal proof
Of guilt on the suspected parties.
The investigation has brought out In n clear
light, however, the evils which flow nom turn
ing over q great city to be looted by its basest
elements. 1t is becoming one of the most
pressing questions of the day how far il is safe
30 give the depraved and ignorant masses IN
large centers of population full control over the
property, health and safety of the community.
If the respectable elements in society would
take the active personal interest that they
should in municipal affairs the evils would not
become so scandalous; but beyond occa-
sionaI spasm of indignation, the decent people
are too apt to let the local government go by
default into the hands of those who look on the
city treasury as so much booty for themselves
and their friends. How callous and defiant
these ward "bosses'' become is signally illus
trated by the fact that in the very teeth of the
Sharp investigation the New York board of
aldermen have Just given away valuable fran
ehises for eighty-five miles OF city streets.

The Army and Nary Journal publishes an
account of the skirmish which resulted in the
killing of Capt. Crawford which lends strong
probability to the theory that the gallant
officer did not lose his life by accident, but by
"wanton assassination" For the sake of JUS
tice 70 all concerned this unhappy affair should
be thoroughly Investigated. Our government
should not be content to treat the matter
lightly. No one will pretend that the act OF
the Mexican troops, If based on hostile motives,
had any warrant from officers in authority but
II is important, nevertheless, that the power
and dignity of our government should be felt
among the reckless, half disciplined troops on
the border
