THE pERSECTTION OF PECK.

Commissioner Peck appeared in court at
ALBANY last Saturday and entered plea OF
not guilty to the indictment found against him.
An adjournment was then taken until to-day, in
order TO give the Commissioners counsel time
to examine the papers and prepare to make a
motion in his clients behalf. Whether the
LAWYER will raise the point that the finding OF
the Indictment was an irregular proceeding
cannot be determined in advance Of the hear
ing in court to-day As is we'll known. at the
timo the subseryicnt District-Attorney of AL
bany County carried the matter before the
Grand Jury, tho preliminary hearing before
Police Justice Gntmann had not been finished.
In fact. it is still pending. The charge was
that Mr.. Peel. had been guilty Of destroying
public documents. which is a misdcmcanor IN
the eyes Of the law In spite of the fact thai
no case had been made out against the accused
official District Attorney Eaton, undoubtedly
acting under ord .rs from the Democratic powers
that be. rushed the case into the Grand jury
room and forthwith secured an indictment.
There is only one word that fifty describes
the conduct Of the agitated and panic stricken
Democrats in their treatment Of the Commits
sioner of Labor Statistics who has been so I'M

forth the facts regarding labor and wages just
AZ they were found u be. after making care
full and thorough investigation. That is the
word persecution. The Democrats have not
been able successfully 10 impugn Mr.. PeckS
report But they have seized every opportunity
TO ycx haraSs and humilate him. No evidence
has Yet been produced to show that he is
lawbrealcr yet ms enemies would have jumped
at the chance of casting him into jail, and would
have reioiced to see him held without ball. if
that had been a possibility. Commissioners
Peclx's report has been a powerful Republican
campagn document The men OF his own
party are unable to see that by making martyr
of him they are merely confirming and strength
ening the impression which that report has
created No fairminded man can view the
persecution of Mr. Peck with patience. lie is
being treated by the Democracy as if he were
a double dyed villain. 1t is difficult to see what
they hope TO gain by making a martyr of an
official who has been honest enough to pursue
an impartial invest CATION, and frank enough
20 declare the facts to the world just as he
found them.

Mr.. Peck's defence was outlined in the ALL
davit presented by him yesterday in the pro-
ceeding brought by the Democratic Committee
to compel him to produce the confidential com
munications made to him, on which his report
is founded. 1t is manly and straightforward
statement that he makes. In order TO OBTAIN
information he was compelled to give solemn
pledges that it should be kept secret. lie has
pursued the same course this year as in previous
years. He denies that his report was made up
for political effect. Mr.. Peck's presentation OF
his case will give satisfaction to all impartial
minds. 1t is incredible that any court will
compel him to violate the confidence of hun
dreds of men with whom he has established
relations on the distinct understanding that
what they told him should be kept strictly

The Civil Service Reform. That is, if Mr..
Cleveland is elected. There have been Ques-
tons raised as TO whether the Civil Service
would be actually reformed in case the present
effort of our Tammany Hall friends to elect
Mr. Cleveland should be successful Some
things happened during the early part of Mr..
Cleveland's Administration that were calculated
to cast doubt upon his orthodoxy on the
subject Of the Civil Service. A great many
ardent and enthusiastic Civil Service Reform
els who had voted for him solely because they
desired to SEQ the Civil Service reformed, and
were uncommOnly anxious to have a hand in
it even if they had to take Office to see the
reform carried out, were waiting in Washing
ton and elsewhere to see it started Mr.. Cleve
land. being busy about other things, kept them
waiting. And great many Mugwump persons
said it was clear evidence of greatness that he
did keep them waiting
But they got tired after while and began
to say he was "chump," and had "got "a
notion that he made himself" and there was
more or less disaffection among the men who
were anxious to reform the Civil Service by
getting On the payrolls. 1t grew so loud that
toward the close Of his Administration he
turned a short corner and by the aid of Mr.
Adlai Z. Stevenson, who was in the PostOflice
Department. set about reforming the Civil
Service in the good old fashioned, Jacksonan
way of turning out everybody who was opposed
to his Administration and putting in the re-

Hon. David Martin to the performance OF his

he is not a Federal office or an Office

Martin is in possession of all the rights and
privileges of an American citizen. and he will
