JUDGE TRUAX Is RIGHT.

Superior Court Judge Charles H.
Truax appreciates the value OF a great
truth. even though he sometimes fails to
apply 1t. His appreciation is shown In
this extract from his letter accepting Il
Tammany denomination for the judicial
position he now holds:
The judicial office should be kept as
far as possible outside the strife OF
party politics.
1t should, indeed. And no one has
more clearly demonstrated this than
Judge Truax himself.
Elected to a judgeship on the Tam
many ticket he has paid Tammany for
his election with the fat recelverships
and references which he has distributed
among the leaders OF that organization
He has failed utterly to hold himself
aloof from the influence OF politics. and
stands before the public to-day with al
irrefutable record OF partisanship be.
hind him. reiterating by insinuat!on @
pledge he has neglected to keep.
He has demonstrated great truth by
his conduct, but in IA manner much tc
his own disadvantage. AS a living ar
gument on the negative side OF his prop
osition he has succeeded in ingeniousl,
establishing the correctness OF the af
frmatiye side.

thoroughly bad pair, who were
STRANDED" in Buffalo In April last, and
started out, both armed with revolvers,
to hold up" and rob any victim they
might meet. They came across Lawyer
Gibbs, halted him. and as he showed
fight. shot him dead. The wife charges
that the husband fired the fatal shot
and the husband lays the act on his
wife
The truth came out through the arrest
of the man. Clarence Robinson. for
burglary, and the voluntary statement
OF the wife. The police had no share In
unearthing the crime.
The story shows how mischievous pet
theories are In such cases and how
they mislead the detectives. All the
sleuth- hounds we're on the scent of n
jealous woman or an injured husband
and In the hunt the names OF highly
reputable Buffalo families were cruelty
involved.
A policeman In search OF murderer
ought to have no pet theories. They
close his eyes to tracks leading In any
direction but that he wants to go, and
too frequently obstruct, instead OF aid
ing. the discovery OF the real criminal.

TAKE THE ELEVATOR, MIR. eorF.

John w. Con-. as candidate for Re-
corder hopes that the people OF New
| York will send him Higher Up. lie
wishes to be elevated from the position
of n simple lawyer to seat on the
bench.
In this legitimate and laudable aspira-
ton Mr.. Goff has the sympathy and
probably will have the votes OF ma
jority Of the citizens OF New York. The
elevation of an honest and able public
servant Is a pleasant duty TO good citi-
zens.
But this business OF going Higher Up
ought not TO be one-sided. II the clti-
zens of New York are to elevate Mr.
Goff, II is no more than fair that Mr.
Goff reciprocate the Iavor. Mr. Gofr
has already, with mastery skill and
patience, led the municipal Dante
through the lower regions OF an Inferno
of fraud, vice. blackmail and robbery.
But he manifests n strong reluctance.
or, at least. a dilatoriness. in cOntinu-
ing the trip into the upper regions,
where dwell the head devils of Corrup-
tion, 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 Schmlttberger squeezed the
ward man. Now, who squeezed Schmitt-

1t is proved that millions have been

OF It has gone into the hands OF cap
tains. But the disclosures have ended
there. 1t is obvious that tho captains
have kept but little OF 1t. Tho rest has
gone somewhere.
The investigation has shown where It
came from.
But who got It?

MIR. CLEVELAND HELPED FELLOWS.

Mr.. John Boyd Thacher. manager OF
the Democratic State campaign, gave out
yesterday the intelligence that Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland is in favor OF the
election of the regular Democratic can
dldate for Governor, Senator David B.
I'M, and will be much gratifed II the
ticket is successful.
Mr.. Thacher explained that Mr.. Cleve-
land had never yet made use OF his
office TO further anybody's political
aims"
Mr.. Thacher makes a trihing mis-
take in this statement Mr.. Cleve-
land did on one occasion further very
notably the political aims OF Col John
X. Fellows, when that gentleman was
a candidate for District-Attorney OF the
City and County Of New York. 1t will
be remembered that when the contest
between Col. Fellows and Mr.. DE Lancey
favoring Mr. Nicolls success, President
Clepeland wrote a letter very warmly
advocating the election OF Col Fellows,
and turned the scale in the latter's
favor.
Mr.. Thacher expresses the belief that
Mr.. Cleveland Is about TO write n letter
supporting Senator Hill and the rest
tribution to the campaign would doubt
less do good. But time does not wait
for any man-not even for "A President
OF the United States-and election day

from public Offices held by the heads OF
the Tammany machine. the district lead
ers and members OF the Big Eight who
hold the control OF the party in their
hands. The total amount of those sal
aries reaches over two hundred and six
thousand dollars annually, showing how
profitable 1t Is to fll high position In
the councils OF the Wigwam. and 10
hold even a subordinate post in the
army OF bosses.
This sum Is divided between twenty
nine persons. There are n great many
thousands of working members OF the

blest pittances. or nothing at all, out
OF the spoils of office. and who com.
plain OF the inequality with which the

a remark. Under orders from the War
Department, to be executed when Gen.

mand of the Department OF the East,
there will be, early in next month. about
$500 soldiers OF the regular army, sub
ject to orders from military headquar-
ters at GOVERNORS Island; The state
ing was founded upon Official orders al

Mr.. Swinton's error probably arises
from reading A careless summary In
some publication of the recent orders OF
the War Department. There are, under
these orders, to be about $500 men under
orders OF the headquarters on Governor 5
all oven the East, and barely l6i will be
on Governors Island Itself. while the
entire force in the nelghborhood Of New
York City will be only l,2te, In addition
The distribution OF the troops around
this city Is as follows:
Fort Columbus Governors Island. three cora

A CRIME DISCLOSED.

The murder OF Montgomery Gibbs In
Buffalo about six months ago startled
the community and has kept the police
OF that city very busy ever since in an
effort to unravel the mystery.
The deceased, a young lawyer. was
somewhat notorious for his gallantries,
and his death was attributed to some
intrigue in which a woman was In
yolved. Anger or jealousy was sup
posed to have nerved the murderer
aim. and the theory was strengthened
by the fact that woman's footprints
were found near the spot where the
body was discovered.
II now comes out that the crime was
