Mr. Croker has seen the writing on the wall.

gloomy and dismal The best-informcd Demo-

TO see Republican Governor and a Republican
Legislature in power at Albany next year, and
they predict the calamitous defeat OF the Tam
many candidates in the local contests With
the State and the city alike In the control Of the
Republicans the people in all parts Of the State
and In all parts of the town will have better
times. Mr. Croker has seen the tide Of public
Indignation against Tammany enormities stead
lily rising. He has observed the evidences Of
discomfort and wrath under Tammany msrule
multiplied on all sides. The organized resist
ance to the evils which Tammany has brought
upon the metropolis is gaining ground every
day. The principal newspapers of New-York
speak with no uncertain utterance. In almost
every district on Manhattan Island and above
the Harlem River public-spiried citizens are
arraying themselves against Tammany, and
getting their forces in order for the November
fight. Never were there so many eager and
Jealous volunteers for the army which is to
overthrow the Tammany horde OF plunderers
The sky is full of signs Of the approaching
downfall Of the Tammany system Of govern
ment by the criminal classes.

for the coming disaster. If he remains the sole

leader the single autocrat. the solitary BOSS
until the hour of defeat in November, he KNOWS
that he will fall like Luclfer, never to rise
again All his followers would then turn upon
him and rend him. There would be no political
future for him. SO he asks that the orgahiza-
ton appoint n committee 10 ala him III the coll
troll and direction Of the Tammany legiohs. Ills
real purpose in asking for this committee Is
evidently to lessen his own burden OF ignominy
and obloquy when the votes are counted alter
the next election. He has been so absolute an
autocrat in Tammany Hall. so complete ana I'M
challenged Il boss. that he is the man upon
whom public ccnsurc and dcnunciation are con-
centrated Upon him hurtlc all the arrows OF
the PEOPLES anger. All his actions all his
words are commented upon in no kindly spirit.
In the public mind he embodics all the wrongs,
the abuses and the OutrageS of Tammany mis-
rule 1t IS not pleasant position for any per-
son to hold. and Mr. Croker has grown weary.
He wishes 10 give some Of his followers III the
Fourteenth Street organization a chance TO
make themselves targets for the hostility OF the
public. objects of invcctiye and Of attack. He
desires committee which he can use as Il
shield and buffer for himself.
II is true that Mr.. Croker has been amply re-
paid in n money sense for his labors rs the
Tammany Boss His fortune is large and his
rewards have been magnificent. But win
growing wealth a craving for life Of peace and
comfort. Of ease and luxury, has grown strong
within him. Too many people and too many
newspapers will insist upon putting veXatious
questions about his revenues and cmOlumentS,
about the springs and the sources Of his hcapcd-
ND riches. Mr.. Croker Is now too conspicuous
to enjoy life and he longs for enjoyment But
he will not find his followers anxious to relieve
him Of responsibility when defeat is impending.
And nothing which Mr.. Croker can possibly do
now will avail to prevent, or even TO delay the
overthrow Of Tammany Hall.

The City Club and Mr.. Schcrmcrhorn. its
representative are entitled 10 public gratitude
for taking legal measures 10 compel obedience
TO the law on the part Of the Park Board in
the matter Of the Harlem Speedway. The in
junction obtained Saturday and served yester
day temporarily stops the impu1cnt perform
ance of a body OF public officials who for
months have been endcavorng In the face Of
popular opinion expert judgment and stat
utory prohibition 10 build the Speedway with
only one sidewalk. From the first they have
had no support except their own obstinacy. but
that has been colossal Finally. when their in
tention to break the law forced Mr. Paul Dana
to resign and they consequently became I'M
comfortably notorious. they tried TO sneak
bill through the Legislature 10 lcgalizc The job
on which they were engaged. Moreover. they
had almost succeeded when an exposure of the
device defeated ii and left them just where
they were before But the managers OF the
City Club evidently believe. and doubtless with
good reason, that they cannot safely be left
unmatched and unobstructcd except by stat
ute which they would have violated before This
IL they had not been caught in the final stage
of preparation.
There is no conceivable reason why the in
junction which now briefly dsablcs this cX-
traordinary Board OF Commissioners should not
be made permanent. 1t does, to be sure, seem
grotesqIe that public officials should be judicial
ly commanded not TO break the law but such
an order Is apparently needed in this instance
1t is possible TO hope that Governor Flower
will play n strong hand by signing the bill TO
put the parks In charge of a new non-partisan
commission of two members. II he does so
promptly, a permanent Injunction to compel the

William II. Stewart, president of the State
