RETALIATION?
Trustee O'Hara, of Father Cor

Manual Training.

~
Tax Commissioner John F. O'Hara OF
Hoboken last night. objected to granting
the Mammal Training School any money.
He contended the school was controlled
by a private corp ora ton, and that 1t was
againsttthe Constitution of the State to
appropriate moneys to a private corpora
lion.
The other Commissioners did not agree
with O'Hara. and voted to give the school
$4,000 for the ensuing year..
The fact that O'Hara is a trustee Of the
Church of Our Lady of Grace. Hoboken,
of which the Rev. Father Corrigan Is
pastor. led some to question O'Hara's
motives in objecting on the lines he did
They seemed 10 think he was bsiug actu-
ated by some outsider. But this belief
is altogether wrong, for one of the
most ardent supporters of the manual
training school IL Father Corrigan, aud
he has been ever since its establishment.
Pupils of his paIochil school enjoy
the advantages of the school. so that il
can be authoritatively said that O'Hara
was actuated by honast nAtirss.

IMPATIENT DEMOCRATS.
Impetuous PIace-Hunters Clamoring TO
Office.

A good deal of silly and irrelevant
talk is now heard among democrats
concerning the rapidity with which, in
European representative governments,
a revolution in general election is re-
fected in the management Of public
affairs. We are told that a defeat for
the party in power in England or
France would result in an immediate
change of administration and policy.
The cabinet would resign at once, and
a new one. formed out of members of
the victorious party, would be put in
its place. This is true, but it is not
pertinent. Things cannot be done
that way here. The constitution for
bids it, and the present usages must
continue to prevail until the constitu-
ton is altered. We have no cabinet
in the British or French sense.
Even if the president and all the mem
bers of our cabinet had resigned the
day after the election, the democratic
accession to power would not have
been hastened to the extent of single
hour.
The sensible thing for the impatient
democrats to do is to try to mold senti-
ment in favor of change in the con-
siitution which would make the terms
of the president and of congress begin
on the first day of January immediate
ly following their election, and to have
the first stated session of congress COM
mence at the opening of its term. This
would call for pretty quick work in the
counting Of the votes for president, it
is true. but the change would not pre-
sent any difficulty of this sort in regard
to congress, for the legislature to
choose the new senators would meet in
December BY this means the govern
ment could be kept in ''close touch with
the people" Beaten presidents and
congresses could not lag superfuous on
tbs stage oi affairs. The FYill OF the

LOOK OUT FOR SQUALLS
Speaker Crisps Public Humiliation Means
Trouble.


Trouble.
The direct and studied insult offered
to Speaker Crisp at the Reform club
banquet to Grover Cleveland in New
York evidently marks the beginning OF
factional fight in the democratic
ranks. Crisp is the third officer Of
the federal government. He was in
vited to attend and his invitation so
worded as to lead him to constrne it as
requesting him to speak. He prepared
a speech, furnished it, by request, to
the Associated Press for transmission
by telegraph and was left sitting, like
a bump on a log, not being called upon
by the chairman.
This means a declaration of war by
Cleveland and his personal satellites
upon Tammany and its friends. Crisp
received Tammany's support for speak
er-hence his public humility Cleve-
land believes that his election was due
to his personal popularity. He knows
he can have only this term in the pres
idency, and proposes to run things TO
suit himself. He is affiliating with the
mugwump pharisees, and evidently in
tends to punish Tammany for its oppo-
sition to his nomination at Chicago.
This means terrific factional fight
in the democratic ranks. Tie repub-
1icans will witness it with amusement,
and hope for the same result as that

sB~A good many vest buttons have
been flying off since it was reported
that Cleveland had offered Dave Hill
the position of secretary Of state. But
while the merriment is boisterous it is
solid fact that Cleveland could hardly
do more polite thing for himself and
his party than that Even If Hill
should be offered the place and would
decline, Cleveland would gain strength
for his tact 1t would be very polite
indeed for him to effect this reap
proachment and show his magma
nimity. 1t is probable, however, that
the tomahawk is not TO be buried SO
easily. Minneapolis Journal.
In his Reform club speech Mr..
Cleveland departed from glittcring
generalities long enough to say: IF
we redeem the promises we have made
TO the voters Of the land, the difficulty
of our task can hardly be exaggerated"
This statement is interesting for two
reasons. One is that it indicates
doubt on Mr.. Cleveland's part whether
any attempt will be made to live up to
the ante-election democratic promises,
and the other is that it reveals his be-
lief that his party promised more than
it has the ability to perform. The
''plain people" will be disappointed to
learn that the vision Of good things
held before them during the campaign
is never to be realized. Under these
circumstances they are not inclined to
agree with Nr. Cleveland that the
democratic triumph should ''roinstate

The SMELL MURDER,

Ine Chicago Tragedy Recalled-A Detec-
tive's Story of the Crime-He Ayers that
Iascott Did Not Do the Deed, But that
the Man who Did 1t Is Now Living in
Chicago and Paying Tascott to Keep
Out of the Way.
CHICAGO. Jan. 3.-Whether VIM. B.
Tascott is in Alaska or not he did not
murder Millionaire A. j. Smell. The
man who murdered Smell lives in Chi
cago and is well known. He does not
want to have Tascott caught and he is
furnishing him money all the time to
keep away Chicago"
So said Detective John A. Dier, after
being shown the dispatch from
Spokane. Wash, to the effect that
Jules Beanvois, miner, recently re-
turned from Alaska declared that in
Sitka, Juneau and other places he saw
and conversed with Tascott Detective
Dler passed more than two years MAX
ing Investigations of the mysterious
robbery and assassination and in
searching for the murderer He is con-
fident that Tascott was not the SLAYER
of Millionaire Smell, and is equally
positive that the deed was committed
by man still living in this city.
Jules Beauvois knew Tascott in Chi
cago, and should, therefore, be able to
recognize him in Alaska, although Tas-
cott is much thinner-faced than he was
when the murder was committed"
"You have seen him, then, since the
murder of Snell?"
II did not say So did ~" laughingly
replied Mr.. Dier. II have kept pretty
close track of him, though, and he
could have been arrested dozen times
within the past two years if anybody
had wanted him very bad. l have No
further interest in the Snell-Tascott
case than desire to see the right ma i
brought to justice for that murder.
| worked two years on the case, and
| spent $1,000 of my own money in fol
| lowing up the matter. AS result,
| am enabled to declare that Tascott
never murdered Smell The man who
did the killing lives in Chicago, and
has spent a fortune keeping Tascott out
| OF the way and in covering up his owr
| tracks.
''There were four men implicated ir
the robbery and murder-the man who
did the killing, two other men and
Tascott. Tascott was taken into tho
| scheme under the pretense that robbery
| alone was contemplated. He was
| placed on watch on the outside of the
house and the other three men en-
tered. After rifing the safe of valua
| BILE papers they made noise, which
| brought old man Smell into the room
and this man to whom l have alluded
killed him. At the sound of the shots
Tascott, according to his own story
| and from'other evidence have secured,
ran away. He met a policeman not
far distant and inquired il the officer
had heard any shooting in the block.
Tascott remained in town a day or two
and then went to St Paul, where he
remained three weeks, during which
time he received by express big pack
age of money from Chicago, with in
structions to leave the country.
