Of them and in it they have dis.

According to the New York Sun the
number OF qualified voters IN that city is
500, coo Last year the total vote cast was
al7 coo, gain Of 5000 over the vote "i
the preceding year. This is -, 80 more
votes than were thrown in Maine in
lSsS for all the presidential candidates.
With this fact in mind, and taking into
consideration the large increase which
will probably be shown in the next vote
of that city, one Is able to appreciate the
great power of Tammany Hall in
the political life of this country. Abso-
lutely controlling New FORK city. it is
able to largely dictate the policy of its
own party, and TO force the Republican
party to come down to Harlan bridge
with enormous msiorities in order to
carry the State Tammany has become
a synonym for corruption in this coun-
try 1trallies to its support the slums of
our greatest metropolis. 1t thrives upon
extravaganza. 1t is audacious, unscrup-
ulous and waStefll. The believers in
clean government for New York have
striven in vain to loosen its grip. There
will probably be time when this cor
rupt organization will be driven from
power in New i ork, but it must be con-
fessed that, at the present time this
desirable event seems somewhat remote.
1t will be a great thing for our country
when New. ork ceases to be a pivotal
state Ia national elections. The increase
Of new states has given reason to hope
that this may be The case in ninety two.

The q sdor Cumming Trial.

through the Gordon Cumming scandal.
This game came originally from France
but sppears to have made itself exceed
ingly popular in English high life" as a
gambling game. IT is quite liable to

the present trial is closed before Lord
Chief Justice Colerige. The following

liant and wealthy young Englishmau, a
soldier, \ tiger hunter and man of the
world, vas invited. with the Prince o.
Wales, TO "a quiet game" at Tranby

This quiet game began with hi:

monotony. The first night Sir william

ton intending 20 put It back and pocket
handsome bonus; but his investments
were disastrous asd he found himself
Ia The strong clutches of the law to
answer for his base betrayal Of the
important trust reposed in hin. Now.
| according TO recent decision OF
Judge Burgess Of Missouri, BardsIey il
not defaulter at all since 1t Cannot be
.hown that he converted the public
money TO his own use with the intent 10
retain said money and deprive the city
81 It," At the time this remarkable de
cisIon was rendered the JOURNAL Ia
condemning il said that 1t was neither
good law nor good common sense" 1t
did not anticipate however, so fore
ible an example Of this fact as is
furnished in the case of Treasurer
Bardsley. Here no ope questions the
intent" No doubt the plan was to
return every dollar that was Illegally
uaed. But in using that money at
all the treasurer was just as much
& rohber and criminal as he ia
today, Had his speculations proved
successful and all Of his stealings been
returned. he would nevertheless been
guilty OF Just as great crime,
although he might very likely have
escaped detection and punishment.
The wrong was in the original act,
and not in the miscarriage Of any plans.
The importance OF serupulous honesty
in dealing with other peoples money
can not be too strongly enforced. 1t
should be early impressed upon young
people. Very often people who are
treasurers of societies and clubs will
temporarily use the money in their
keeping for personal expenses thinking
there is nothing wrong In this as
long "a they are able TO re-
place 1t when wanted, This
Il grieVous mistake and one that has
eventually been the downfall of many a
nan. However small the sum in trust
it should be faithfully kept, and ready
for delivery whenever called for. To
use it for private purposes, even temper
arily, Il a crime. There is no difference
in the principle Of wrong whether an
amount misaPpropriated is smaller or
larger whether the person using iC liz
able to return it, or whether. like Treas
urer Bardsley, he finds himself unable
to make good his criminal borrowing
The distinctions between right and
wrong In these matters are clear and
sharp. and no honest man will disre-
gard them.

srduous one for the secretary. In no twelve
months, probably, since the war has the

the more salient. only, Of the subjects
