LILY THEY L4IGU.

4 characteristic feature Of the Brooklyn
scandal is the cynical contempt displayed by the
indicted officials for the legal proceedings
About twenty seven men connected with the
city or county government either Officially or
by business relations have been compelled to
give bail for their appearance in court to an
swer to criminal charges. Their conduct when
accused of robbing the public treasury is in
suuc;iyc. They seemed TO regard their indict-
mont as the best joke of the season. While
waiting their turn to settle their bail they
amused themselves by offering to lay heavy
odds on their acquttal. Not one Of them would
admit that he had been discredited or com
promised in any way by the action Of tho
Grand Jury. They openly boosted that the
cases would never be brought to trial. With
ore consent they pronounced the legal proceed
ings roaring farce.
Ii must be admitted that these indicted poll
ticians were not without justification when they
refused to take a serious view Of the charges
ether Grand Juries have taken similar action
during recent years against those who have
proiitcd by municipal jObbery. and convictions
have not followed. A political "pull'' has in
variably operated to rescue the accused men
from the disgrace of criminal proceedings,
Those who have combined to rig the public
treasury have ordinarily succeeded in parayl-
ing the functions Of Justice. Within a decade
there have been Brooklyn swindlcS Of high and
low degree. School sites have been pu chaa
on the basis Of private pcc'ilat0n, and officials
have been publicly accused Of making money
out OF the transactions. Tho maintenance Of
lunatics and paupcrs has been monstrOus
system of jobbcry The ST. Johnand farm
scandal brought public reproach upon every one
implicated in it. About Sl,250,0Oo was in
volved in stolen franchise Ubiquitous con-
spiracics for public plumber have been brought
to light in connection with the water supply
and public works. Grand Juries have not
been silent respecting these crimes and scan
dals There have been numerous indictments
and presentments. But Justice has dragged
and limped and the guilty have escaped. That
is why indicted officials audaciousy wink at
one another and loosely offer TO bet ten dol
lars to one that they will never be convicted
1t is game which may be played too openly
and too many times. The failures of the prose
cutting authorities in the past are notorious
The people CT Brooklyn are not in a temper
to tolerate any further conformation of public
robbery. The District Attorney will be justly
accused Of completely in the scandals if he neg
lects his sworn duty to take up these indict-
mcnts and to prosecute the offenders with vigor
and earnestness and with all the resources of

The Reading " combine" which has attract
cd no much attention for nearly year past,
was "knocked out' at Trenton yesterday by

the fear that the New-Jersey Legislature might
repeal the charter of the company, since The
leasing of it was undoubtedly in defiance OF
the laws of the State. The breaking up OF the
