FIGHTING TAMMANY.

Rev. DIR. Parkhurst of New York is
pouring hot shot into the Tammany
ranks by his vigorous war against
the police organization. Every
body knew that the police were
bribed by the gamblers and liquor
sellers, but no one could prove the
charge. But thanks to DR.. Park
hurst, one captain, Devery, has been
indicted and the evidence against
several others is SO strong that their
escape was a surprise. The City
Vigil ance League has started a
paper and DR.. Parkhurst's editorial
in the first number is attracting
wide attention.
DIR. Parkhurst has the support of
some of New York's leading papers
in his efforts to purify the morals OF
the metropolis. Harper's Weekly,
especially, is exposing the corrupt
methods of Tammanv hall, and the
cartoons of W. A. Rogers rival those
of Thos. Mast at the time of the
equally corrupt Tweed ring. Ac-
cording to the last number Of
Harper's Weekly the liquor dealers of
the city pay 100000 annually to
Tammany hall and the income to
this association from other sources,
more corrupt than the saloon keep
ers, is fully a half a million more.
The citizens of New York are grad
ually waking up to the fact that they
are in the grasp of a terrible monster
who will grow more powerful unless
he is led to the slaughter. Success
to DR.. Parkhurst and all who agree
with him.

The European War CIoud.

According to the London papers
war is in the European atmosphere
to an alarming extent. and the
British government is urged to pre-
pare for emergencies at once. The
big bankers, however, are not alarm
ed, and when war is approaching
they always feel the electric twinges
soonest. The fact is, probably, that
though several of the continental
powers are aching for a fight, not
one dares to begin it by knocking
the chip off another's shoulder
