| This is the language Of one OF the trainers OF
the Mills bill lie is astonshed at his own moders-
| ton because he knows in his heart that he IS
Free Trader pure and simple, and wants nothing
short of that. Let Mr.. Cleveland be reelected
and let Mr. Turner and Free Traders like him be
returned to power in Congress- and there Will De
no cause for their establishment on the score OF
their own moderation. They will abolish tariff
system which they consider brigandage without

The Governor Of Missouri refuses to interfere
and Maxwell must hang. He certainly cannot
complain II he had committed the crime IN his
own country, his body would have been in quick
lime within a fortnight after his trial began but
here he has been able to put off paying his reckon
ing for three years. He really ought to go with

Nothing is better known to the people OF Brook
lyn than that Boss Mclaughlin says to one
man " Co." and he goeth and to another Come,
and he cometh :" The Eagle has recently been
favoring its readers with some account OF the
operations Of this mans powerful mind 1t says
that he does not como to his slowly formed,
long-withhed and finally announced conclusions
without careful consideration He listens, In
qures, confers, reads and reflects" This genesis
of the mental processes Of one Of the most power
full political leaders of the time is certainly in
tcresting "The Eagle" further says that Nc
Iaughlin is obliged to take into some account
what the party will stand well as his own
wishes in the matter" The source Of this in
formation we can only guess at, but 1t Will be
news to many people in Brooklyn that their wishes
are ever taken into account. The mystery OF
McLaughlins ascendancy in his party is one OF
those things that nobody can explain; but IT Is
perhaps the most vital fact that Brooklyn has
to reckon with in its struggles for better CIVIC
administration

Mayor Hewitt tempers justice with mercy. He
serves notice on the bObtail homicide company
which has possession of Twenty -third-st. that he
will sign the ordinance requiring them to put on
cars with conductors, but will give them little
time to make ready. The company ought to have
taken TIE TRIBUNEs advice, and put the cars on
without being forced to do SO. But now. at least,
let us hope there will be an end Of senseless OPP
position.
One thing at least to the credit Of District-At-
torney Fellows. He refused to be in the least
sentimental about Danny Lyons.

Senator Dan Voorhees, has opened the Demo
