If any trembling Aldermen or eX-Aldermen
are waiting for the preliminary examination OF
Jaehne before a magistrate, to find out how
much the law officers know about this
Broadway bribery business, they are doomed
to bitter disappointment The Alderman was
arrested on information =; but before the eX-
animation incident TO that is held there Is
every reason to believe that Jaehnc will be
indicted. In that no hearing viii be
necessary, and the other bribe-takers Will get
no points 1t waS for similar reasons that
Inspector Byrnes properly declined to testify
before the Senate Committee yesterday III
regard to Jaehne's confession.
1t is commonly said that a lawyer who pleads
his own case has a fool for client. Thanks to
the members Of the House committee on the
telephone scandal this unpleasant remark
cannot be made about Colonel Casey Young.
They have saved him from himself by insisting
that ne shall confne himself entirely to state
ments OF fact in testifying and let them draw
their own inferenccs. This the gallant Colonel
has found it ha.d to do, especially since the
naked facts unadorned bv his eloquence show
that his $500, 900 in Pan Electric stock was
gift. The most important point i'll Colonel
Young's testimony yesterday was his positive
denial that he ever told the Rogerscs that MIR.
Garland had promised to bring suit to annul
the Bell patent
1t is not always possible by "handling bills
only" to avoid a suspicion of wrong -dOng-at
least if the bills are too large. This was shown
by the Broadway franchise investigation yester-
day. Within six days after he opened an
account at the Madison Square Bank in 1851,
Policeman Hume, Alderman PearsOns brother
in-law, deposited $l,015, of which S1j'Was in
small bills and the rest in one 81 600 bill. On
several other occasions Hume deposited one
thousand dollar bills. 1t should not be for
gotten that the Alderman's brother-in-law
claims to have received this money from his
mother. whom he himself often had to help
financially. Explanations like this explain
much, but not what the maker of them intends.
Mr.. Pearson says he is the victim Of a con-
spiracy.
No well-infOrmed person has ever doubted
that Prince Bismarck was stretching the truth
sadly when he declared that American pork
was excluded from Germany because 1t bred
disease Nevertheless, it Is satisfactory to have
corroborative evidence that our hog products
have been slandered. This is furnished by the
last report of the United States Consul-Gcn-
eral at Berlin, in winch it is stated that within
a few weeks thirty or forty cases OF tnchinOslS
have been found in one town III Silesia where
American pork is unknown; and that addi-
tiOnal cases have been discovered elsewhere.
If this country were foolish enough to want TO
go into the retaliation business, with what a
fine show of justice our tariff laws could be
made painfully unpleasant for German export
ers and manufacturers.
1t is plain enough, looking back, that the
captain of the Oregon made a sad mistake in
not trying to run his vessel ashore on Long
Island. Most Of the cargo and baggage could
certainly have been saved in that way, and
there would have been a chance, at least, Of
floating the steamship again. But the divers
found yesterday that the Oregon had broken
In two; so there is an end 10 the hope Of rescu-
ing anything but little baggage from the
wreck. The discovery Of a schOoners yawl
within reasonable distance of the disaster con-
firms the opinion that the Oregon was struck
by a vessel of that kind and not by a larger
one. IL will also serve to put an end to the
suppOsition that the steamship was blown up
by dynamite or that she was hit by a stray tor
pedO. Of all funny theories to which this dis
aster has given rise this dynamitc-tOrpedo
myth is the most amusing.
A state of things which has not existed
before in years prevails now in Dublin. The
