CROKER,s REGRET.

Mr.. Richard Croker Is enjoying him
self in Ireland and confirms the story
OF his intention to return to New York
by the Majestic. He brings home with
him one regret; that the Libel law in
the United States is not like the Eng
lish law. 80 that he might bring a Grim
inal libel suit against those inQuisitive
journals that insist upon knowing how
he got It. and persist In pressing upon
him the question where did 1t come
from?
This ought not to worry Mr.. Croker.
There Is probably not a single news
paper in New York that would inter
pose any technical defense to q libel
sui, IL Mr.. Croker should think ut to
bring one. Any Of them would. no
doubt. be happy to meet Mr.. Croker
in court OF Justice, giving him all
the advantage he might hope to de-
rive from Tammany Judges.
But there is one thing for which Mr..
Croker ought to be duly thankful. that
the laws OF the United States affecting
the manner in which It Is got are not
as severe nor as strictly enforced in
the United States as they are in Eng
land. Otherwise the dread Of the In
vestigating committees, supposed to
have caused his mysterious departure
for Paris and the Grand Prix. would
have kept him on the other side Of the
Atlantic and the news OF the consulta-
ton between Mayor Gilroy and Bourke
Cochran and the danger threatening
his Tammany cron!es would not have
been sufficient to induce him to hurry
back as rapidly as he went away.
The question Of interest now is will
Mr. Croker be able to get back into the
Tammany leadership as easily as he
got out Of 1t?
