Gathering Alleged Bride Takers.

1 Gathering Alleged Bride Takers.
| It is not to be wondered at that local
political circles in New York city are in
a state Of ferment ana excitement. Not
since the days OF Tweed has there been
sucn an exposure Of the corrupt practices
of those who govern that great city. More
than a dozen members of the Board Of
Aldermen Of 1884 have been arrested, each
charged with having sold his vote for the
Broadway Surface railroad franchise
measure for 500, 900.
II these men are guilty nothing should
be left undone to convict them. About
all Of them are men OF some local promi-
hence, and there Is not one of them who
deserves any mercy. Itdoesn't make any
difference, so far as they are concerned,
whether the city got what, at the time,
was considered TO be the full value of the
franchise or not. II they refused to act
until they were paid to do SO, they are
as guilty as if the city got every dollar
that the franchise was really worth.
The only way to stop men in places Of
trust and responsibility from stealing and
selling their power is to deal with them
as severely as the law will permit when
ever their crooked practices are discOy-
cred. There is no doubt that come very
bad men get into office in New York. H.
deed, 1t is believed that the ward strikers
try to get the best offices for men who will
steal and divide with them.
1t is remarkable that the men who have
the most at stake-the property owners
and business men-take 80 little interest
in municipal affairs in all the great cities.
Municipal debts are being piled up with
wonderful rapidity, and in the cases of
some of the cities Of this country 1t would
not be surprising if in the near future
they should become bankrupt. Business
men ana property owners want good,
honest government, because that kind Of
government means low taxes and pros
peritv; but, strange as it may seem, they
do very little to secure such government.
Doubtless extraordinary efforts will be
made to lprevent the conviction of the
New York Aldermen. The District At
torney will need to keep all his wits about
him. He will have to exercise extraordi-
nary skill, and to be wide awake and in
dustrious, to bring the prosecutions which
he has undertaken to a successful terml-
nation. If the Aldermen are guilty and
escape, the belief will become stronger
that not only New York but other great
cities can be plundered with impunity.
The corrupt politicians Will become bold
er every time they succeed in escaping
the meshes of the law, until, finally, they
will openly defy the law.

but not often occupied by, the Hon.

There has been a great deal of gossip
about the expensive peachblow vase that
was recently sold in New York. Now the
price OF strawberries in that city is the
subject Of comment. The other day a
dealer sold ten strawberries for So, while
smother found no trouble in selling the
lucious fruit at $40 per quart. Grapes
were sold at $l6 per pound and pears at SO
each. Even millionaires, however, do not
buy fruit at such prices every day in the
year, although fancy figures are freely
paid for choice specimens all the year
round. II is said that there are fruit and
flower dealers on Broadway who, with a
few hundred dollars capital, make $4,000
year over all expenses.

Bovcofted Mrs. Gray.

A little institution in New York that
has suddenly sprung into notoriety is
Mrs. Gray's bakery. A few weeks ago
Mrs. Gray was unknown, except to a
comparatively few people. Now she is
one of the most widely known women in
the country. She is Indebted to the boy
colt for fame, and it begins to look as if
she would be indebted to it for fortune.
The boycOtters some days ago under
took to compel her to make her bakers
join the Bakers Union and to pay a
fine of $25 for disobeying an order of the
union. She declined very emphatically
to interfere with her workmen in any way
or to pay the fine entered against her.
She said that her workmen might do as
they pleased about joining the union, but
that she would shut up her shop before
she would pay fine to an organization
which had no authority to give orders to
her,
The boycotters then notified all of her
customers that she was boycotted, and
that they would be also boycOtted if they
patronized her. Quite number of them,
principally groceTs, refused at once to
take bread from her, but her business, in
stead of falling off in volume. steadily in
creased. The boycotters then stationed
themselves Immediately in front of her
bakery, and warned all who approached
it to keep away. The warning was I'M
needed. and the number OF customers in
creased rapidly. Rich people sent large
orders tor bread to be distributed among
the POOR, and many sent donations of
money. People from all over the city now
seek Mrs. GraY's bakery, some from curl
osity, but the majority because they dis
approve of boycotting, and she has more
orders than she can fill.
This effort to close up Mrs. Gray's bus
mess shows pretty conclusively that the
boycott is not a popular institution in this
country. 1t may have little success in
some localities for a short time, but it
will not find that sympathy that
is necessary for its growth. The
American people believe in fair play, and
the boycott is an instrument OF tyranny.
There is nothing that is just or fair about
it. The effort to break up Mrs. Gray's
business because she declined to coerce
her workmen and obey the mandate OF an
organization with which she had no con
nection whatever, is an outrage which the
New York public is very Justly resenting.
