 Another topic for debate. New Haven that generosity and rum can exist in prox- imity to each other without getting mixed, and @ little stir will be welcome. The question now is, ought the mayor to junket officials who come from other places to see the town almshouss, and who do not know how things are around herei
 We shall leave to others the difficult task of deciding the main question, but there is e side issue wkich we feel competent to discuss. It seems to us that 1t would have been more discreet in the alert gentlemen of the p. m. press to give Mayor Sargent more credit for the efforts he did make in behalf of the visitors and less public discredit for the lack of effort which they think he ought to have made and which they think he did not make. They accuse him of serious discourts,y be. cause he did not take the city's money to entertain the visitors, or use his own for the same purpose. They seem to allow no weight to the fact that the mayor notified the selectmen that the visitors were com ing, that he went to the depot after them. and that be went to the selectmen's of6cs to say that they had come. There was @ little delay and some unfortunate blunder- ing in the course of the proceedings, but the gentlemen were finally warmed and fed by a generous e1-mayor, and then the selectmen appeared on the scene and did the honors constitutionally and properly.
 We cannot believe that the mayor was guilty of intentional discourtesy in this matter, and we do not think he ought to have been publicly charged with 1t. He had his mind fixed on the idea thst the visitors were the guests of the town, and he did his best to get them cared for by the town. We hope they understood the situation. and that they did not leave New Haven with the idea that they had not been we'll received by the mayor. And we also hope that somebody carefully explained to them the difference and the differences between the city and the town.

 John Y. AcKane was apparently an all- powerful boss few short months ago. He said to his heelers go and they went, and he said to them come and they came. He trampled on the law and he defed public opinion. But there has been a change. He overestimated, as bosses are spt to do, his power, and he underestimsted the strength of the law and the force of public opinion. So yesterday he found himself in a predicsment which he had not foresesn, and which he could not have been made to foresee when he was an easy and an unopposed boss. He was obliged to hear a jury which had been inquiring into the charge against him of conspiracy to violate the election laws in Gravesend declare him guilty. Then he was led away to jail, where he will stay until Monday morning, when he will once more be brought into court in order that he may hear the judge 6s:lare his sentence.
 The result of the trial is encouraging. McKane has been ably defended. The jury was an unusually competent and carefully selected one. It would have been a public misfortune if the case had failed. It is 6 public benefit that 1t has not. It will be a warning to all who, like McKane, boss ille- galIy, and 1t shows that the people can still defend themselves against such bosses if they will.
