AN AMBIGUOUS PERFORMANCE

Soon after the election OF 1880, represent
atves OF the City Reform Club laid before the
Excise Board, then composed Of Messrs. Koch,
Fitzpatrick and Meakim, charges against about
one hundred liquOr-deaers, the accusation
being that they had kept their establishments
open on Election Day in violation OF the stat
ute requiring all saloons within a certain dis
tance of any polling place to be closed. In
some eighty cases these charges were tried be-
fore the Commissioners, and the proofs ap-
peared ample to convict, eight or ten Of the
licensees acknowledging on oath that their
saloons had been open on Election Day. The
law requires the Excise Board to decide such
cases within reasonable time, and IL satisfied
that the law has been violated to revoke the
license Of every offender. But the Commission
crs refused to render a decision, and finally,
the City Reform Club still pressing the mat
ter, the case of Henry Ahrens was made test
case and mandamus was procured from Judge
Barrett and sustained by the Court of Appeals
ordering them to decide; whereupon they de-
cided In favor Of Ahrens. The club, determined
not to drop the proceedings, laid the facts before
the Grand Jury, and on the evidence presented
indictments were found against the three Com.
missioners But the District-Attorney's office
was neglectful and could not be induced to try
the indictment until full year later. Then.

IN technically, the indictment was dismissed'
but another was procured and nnaiiy' aIter
another year had elapsed, the de1endah's were
brought into the Court Of Oyer ana Iermlher
But meanwhile disturbed by the possibility
Of ultimate discontinue, they had devised Il
means of escape. and procured from the Demo:
cratic and fraudulent Legislature OF lS92 an
act. the significance Of which was not COM
monty understood at the time, but which inc!
expected they would be able to utilize for their
security. When, therefore, they were arrllgned
or trial they set up this enactment IN deIehce,
claiming for 1t a retroactive effect just nttcf
to their necessities Their confidence appeared
to be well founded for their defence was ac-
ccpted as sufficient by the trial court Incl

The decision OF tie lower court was passed
on without an opinion by the General Term, ana
since then the defendants have apparently been
entirely relieved of anxiety. Their immunity
has not been absolutely certain, however, Tor
the Court Of Appeals has yet to be heard from
And this is the fact which makes their latest
step in connection with the action against them
an extraordinary exhibition OF cool audacity.
They have now brought n claim against the
city for $4,000 to pay the lawyers who defend
cd them. II that large sum Is fair charge for
services rendered the lawyers are Of course
entitled to be paid at the proper time, though
the claim forcibly illustrates the satisfaction
with which accused officials make litigation OK
tremely costly when they reckon upon the city's
having to foot the bill. But that Is not the
point which now demands public notice The
effrontery Of these men lies in their demand
that the city shall pay their legal expenses In
n suit not yet finally decided in their favor;
for IL the Court OF Appeals should decide
against them they would have no claim at all
against the city.
It Is apparently assumed that the proceedings
will 90 no further but they ought TO. This Is
a case in which the court of last resort needs
TO be invoked and until the law has been
irrevocably declared the city ought not to pay
a cent for the benefit Of these men.

THE VEXATTON OF SHEEHAN

Lieutenant Governor William +. Shechan was
in town on Friday. representative Of an
evening newspaper called on him for the
purpose OF talking to him on the recent politi-
cal tidal wave that struck Buffalo" From the
report Of the interview it would seem that
william was not only willing TO be talked to
on that subject, but fairly willing to say n few
words himself He did not have very much to
say about the tidal wave because, as he said,
he did not care to lump into the newspapers
with all sorts OF theories" On that point he
simply remarked that the result was great
surprise, and 1t will be some time before the
public can be made to appreciate the true
causes Of It." In order to explain 1t it would
be necessary TO go into the whole thing from
the beginning" and IL don't Think" he adds,
the people Of Buffalo are ripe for 1t just now"
BY January he hopes to be able to fully ex-
plain the true condition Of politics in way the
people up there will understand" This retl-
cence on Williams part Is unusual. He was
not always 80. He was not always ditlident
about jumping into the newspapers" Nor
did he always hold the opinion he now ex-
presses concerning the ripencss Of the people
Of Buffalo. Before the late election no man In
the State was 80 ready as he to jump into the
newspapers" 1t may also be said that the
newspapers were equally ready to jump into
him. AS to the rIpeness Of Buffalo people, all
OF his actions before election pointed to absO-
lutte confidence on his part that they were not
only ripe, but rotten.
Passing from this branch Of the subject Will
lam dwelt with what the reporter calls g. vIgor"
IL.
the newspapers have lately been treating him
personally. lie Is deeply grieved at the report
which has been circulated that he intends to
leave Buffalo and make New-York City his
permanent residence. Public criticism Of my
political acts" he says docs not annoy me,
but when they 90 deeper and indulge In per-
sonalites must say l feel vexed." 1t does
seem an extremely hard case During the last
two or three years William has been criticised
for various things which bis opponents have

where ii played at Nanaimo. Northfeld
and Victoria. The tour was a successful
one. rs the team won one game. tied one
and lost smother. The total number of
goals stood 10 To ! IN favor of the Seattle
team.
The first game OF the series was PLAYED
a. Nanaimo on Saturday, upon wretchei
grounds The mud and water were ankle
deep. and the drains that iutersectei the
field, rendered playing exceedingly DIM
cult. Ii the game had not been a friendly
one no contest would ever have taken
place on such grounds.
The Seattle team was somewhat faster
than the Nanaimo team. bet the SUPERIOR
weight Of the latter WAS much in their
favor. For the first twenty-five minutes
neither team gained point. il being a
hard and FAST game. when from pretty
pass from the left wing Nanaimo succeeded
in notching the first point. From this on
to half tune neither side gained any AL
vantage.
In the beginning Of the second half the
Seattle team tried hard 10 score, but did
not succeed. Nana}fnc here broke away
and added their second point shortly
afterward they notched their third and last
goal. Seattle was here pressing them very
hard and succeeded in getting their only
point from serimmage IN front of the
goal during the last I'VE minutes. Shortly
aiterward the whistle blew ami brought a
hsrd-tought game 10 an end.
The score stood 5 10 in favor of Mama
