| One by one they steal away without stopping
to say good bye to our placid and good-natured
District Attorney. Sayes has gone to JON the
merry company in Montreal, which diverts itself
with tobogganing and ice-carnivals in the WIN
ter and takes pleasant iaunts in Europe during
the hot weather If this sort of thing is Kept
up a little longer, the Board of Aldermen of
1884 will have a quorum in Canada, and
| MOlOney's steDtorian voice will be nearu as vi
wore lining. ont ordinances and resolutions
whcn will be referred to the Committee on
Railroads with a suggestive wink, ana John
Keenan, will retire with the representatives. Oh
the County Democracy to the committee-room
where the market prices of charters ana IRAN
chises will be quoted and transactions VIII 20
on briskly. Perhaps Jacob Sharp may venture
to send a few sealed bids. How the wretched
Jaehne as he sits in his whitewashed cell at
Sing Sing, after his days task is done, ana
muses. with his bowed head in his hands, nust
regret that he put TOO much trust IN MS lawyers
and not enough in the express trains 10 the
shores of the 81. Lawrence. He might be now
spending his days IN walks and drives about the
picturesque streets of the quaint old French
city, whose life and gayety have received 50
many accesslons from New York, and his even
Jugs IN his tavOlito pursuit OF poker lnsteao Vi
dragging through the heavy hours IN the uh'A-
hilars.ting occupation of oKlng shlr's III &"
prison laundry and watering his narrow oed III
night with his teas. Exlles! Pshaw Emf
nent New Workers, who ike Jonn keenan una
the salt air Of this metropolis too sharp lot ticr
enfeebed health and gain recreation and ENJOY
ment iD change of scene.
But as the people of this city do not look with
enthusiastic approval on the plan OF permitting
BRIDE yiy ers and bribe-takers To lead easy ana
jplly lives, made still more attractive and
agreeable by tile charms of foreign travel, PEI
haps it was Just as well that Mr.. MARITIME took
stems Yesterday to make the ties that bind tne
remaining Aldermen to this metropolis some
what more cohesive. 1t was not bad idea to
raise the bail and to lock up those members of
the Board who could not furnish the Increased
bonds. And it might also be prudent and
sagacious to get Jacob Sharp and Kerr aud
Foshay and Others promptly indicted, II thtle
is sufficient legal evidence against them, ana 70
make their bail bonds big anu strong. Mr.. Mar
tine should do everything he can to keep the
rest of the consprators of 1884 in Town until
the courts are quite through with them. Ley
cannot really be spared to JOIN ihat lnVlal crew
in Montreal, and to form in line with Keenan,,
Moloney, De Lacey. Dempsey aud Sayles, who
are nov twirling their fingers and thumbs at the
tips of their contemptuous noses as they gaze
southwark All the bOndsmen OF the indicted
Aldermen should be looked to vigorously. The
astute brother of Alderman Sayle has shown
that his parents were far-sighted when they
gave him the name of the wisest of kings, Tor
he has certainly outwitted the Distrct-At or
new by the transfer of his property on winch
his brother's bail-bond was based. But possibly
something less than the wisdom of Solomon
might suffice for that.
Jaehne must have company. 1t is mon
strons Injustice to leave him to pine alone III
Sing Sing. If the other Aldermen and the bI1be-
givers are to escape punisl ment, the County
Democracy should invite Keenan, to return ana
run for Mayor, while Moloney might renew his
law studies and groom himself for canvass
next wear as the successor of Mr.. MARITIME.
