The principals TO the Crocker-Gr rant
McC'ann fight are wide apart in more
senses than one. Croker Is Mt wiesbaden
and he declares that he isn't going TO quit
that delightful resort In Middle Germany
to come home and quarrel. He telegraphs,
however, that Mccain is n blackmailer.
Mayor Grant gives Mccain q terribly bad
name and produces some evidence that
seems 10 indicate that McCann Is as black
as he is painted. Other people implicated
in the scandal admit some of the trans
actions recited by McCann, but they re-
pudiate his version of them. Whether re-
form in official methods in New York city
will come out Of il all, remains to be seen.

A SURPRISING VOTE.

The announcement that the lower
house of the legislature in New York
state has passed a bill abolishing CAPT
tai punishment Is a surprising bit of
news. The majority by which the
measure was carried is also noteworthy
the bill passed by a vote of - to ~.
Few people would have ventured to
predict that n measure of the kind
could score SO generous a majority i'm
the assembly at Albany. IL must be
that the bill was taken up in haste and
passed in a hurry.
The proposition TO abolish capital
punishment has not been under recent
general discussion in New York state.
IL will be quite remarkable IL the
measure is pushed through the senate
and gets the governors signature, yet
the very large vote recorded in its fa.
vor by the lower house indicates that
the abolition movement has struck the
rapid transit route in New York state.
Periodically this question has come
up for discussion in New York. yet il
never was a particularly vital issue and
il never before was able TO muster sup.
port of much account in either house
of the legislature. The whole subject
was discussed last year when the ques.
tion of substituting electricity for the
hangman's rope was up, but the state
committed itself TO the electrical plan,
and il was supposed that, with this in
