takes up the bill for action.

An adjournment was taken by the Lcxow
Committee yesterday until September 10. Mr.
COTS statement shows how reasonable such an
adjournment is. There are numerous obstacles
In the way of an investigation like this during
the hottest months Of the year; not the least Is
the difficulty of obtaining witnesses. or course
there will be loud cries that the officials high
and low accused by the witnesses already heam
should have an opportunity TO present their de-
fence: hut people who keep their eyes open

counsel for the committee will not cease work

the hardest part Of their labors lies In getting

The HOMESTEAD SCANDAL.

The charges OF the informers have been cor

Corey Of the armor plate department or the
Homestead works. He has admitted that The

highest speed and by pushing back the weights
when pulling could artfcially raise the record
Of tensile strength and thereby deceive the Coy

going on. and was responsible for the jockeylng
of the plates and the Justification Of the records.
Superintendent Corey has also testified that bal

into exile are generally apt 70 round up In
Paris Under these circumstances 1t might
not be bad idea to have a Tammany residency
I'm that city as the different natiOnalities have
their legations SO that the aenated and fugi
tive boss might find dignified refuge without
being forced To put up at a hotel like mere
archbishop or Senator or Colorado mine owner.
The position of the boss In the modern field OF
political action IS distinct and peculiar, and he
ought particularly when he is away from home,
to be surrounded by peculiar barriers OF reserve
and dignity. The finances Of Tammany under
the stress Of the present investigation are PROP
ably not just now equal TO the construction OF
such a Partisan refuge tor its exiles. but Croker
has plenty Of money and perhaps he may buhd
one. Some OF his predecessors have found 1t
extremely inconvenent TO come home and have
stayed away many years. and some have died
in exile and there IS no knowing what may be-
fall him. He might find continuing residence
In that beautiful city very desirable at any rate
til the next revolution, or TIL he has spent all
his money in backing me loser at the Grand
Prix.
Croker may not have drunk OF the fountain
of Youth but surely ne has possessed himself
Of the Secret of restoring lost health at more
than lightning speed
Some city ordinances It appears have had the
precise effect of afforlng opportunities 70 the
police to levy blackma upon reputable business
men, 1t would be interesting 10 know whether
they were passed by Tammany officials as part
OF the general scheme OF extortlng money from
every possible source from the peanut stand and
the bootblack to the resorts which can afford 10
pay hundreds and thousands FOR the privilege Of
being allowed TO exist. Such ordinances surely
should not be retained IL they serve no better
purpose than this.
