TAKE THE ELEVATOR. MR.. oOFF.

John W. Gom, as candidate for Re
corder, hopes that the people " New
York Will send him Higher Up. He
wishes to be elevated from the position
of a simple lawyer to II seat on the
bench.
In this legitimate and laudable aspira-
ton Mr. Con has the sympathy and
probably viii nave the votes Of Il ma
jority of tie citizens OF New York. The
elevation Of al honest and able publ"
servant IL a pleasant duty to good oiti-
zens.
But this business OF going Higher Up
ought not to be sided. II the CHI
zens of New York are to elevate Mr..
Con-, II IL no more than fair that Mr.
Gon reciprocate the favor. Mr. Goff
has already. with mastery skill and
patience, led the municipal Dant"
through the lower regions OF an Inferno
Of fraud, vice. backmall and robbery.
But he manifcsts strong reluctance,
or. at least. n dilatoriness, in continu-
ing the trip into the upper regions
where dwell tho head devils OF corrup-
ton, the master spirits of crime.
This hesitation and reluctance should
cease The people have had enough OF
the miserable detail Of petty oppres-
sion and extortion. They know that
De Gam squeezed the French line,
that the ward man squeezed DE Gam
and that Schmittberger squeezed the
ward man Now, who squeezed SChmtt-

1t Is proved that millions have been
eXturted from vice and misery by the
patrolmen and ward men. and that most
OF 1t has gone into the hands OF cap
tains. But the disclosures have ended
there. 1t Ia obvious that the captains
have kept but little of II. The rest has
gone somewhere.
