LAUNDERING BOSSES.

The people of San Francisco are coming
TO the conclusion about these days that the
resurrected boss of the Democratic party
is not as smart as he has been reckoned.
When he returned from his exile there
was a feeling that he had been chastened
in the fiery furnace of afflicrioD, aud that
he might be treated as the sinner who
repenteth and goeth forth 10 sin no more.
That Over-sanguine, over-generous notion
led people to scquiesce when the authori-
ties which should have held him to a stern
accounting for his crimes let the prosecu-
tons drop, and he walked the streets
which should have known him no more.
They now see that they were mistaken {;
that he is the same oh Buckley, up to all
the old tricks, and laying out the same old
game of knavery and plumber. He osten-
tatipusly pr0Glaims his belief that the
people of this city only deserve to be served
by officials who will plunder and divide.
AS a specimen exhibit of Buckeyes good
intentions at this time take the case of w.
J. Bryan. who was forced upon the Demo-
cratic convention as its candidate for As
SCISSOR. Bryan had been known ia this
community as merchant Of repute until
the Pcstoffice job arose. He was one Of
three commissioners who were EN- ployed
by the United States and paid to select a
site for The new Post flee. They selected
site worth half million and advised the
Government 10 give a million for it, There
was no secret about the matter. Il was
all done in the light of day. Could boss
more emphatically express his contempt
for the pm bile prelensiOns TO morality?
If decent men could agree among them
selves to vote down such men as BRYAN no
mischief might be done. But there is only
too much reason to fear that the Republi-
can candidates who would be elected if
they we're defeated would be no better
than they. 1t is a matter of open talk in
political circles that the local contest be-
tween Republicans and Democrats this
fall will be a sham battle, in which the
Offices will be divided between the two
bosses, and that whoever is elected no one
viii get his nose near the municipal feed
ing-Uough unless he is friend of Burns
or Buckley, and no measure which they
support can possibly fail. There may be a
majority OF good men on the Democratic
Supervisors slate, and likewise a majority
of good men on the Republican Superyi-
soTs' slate, but it will chance that most of
the good men On both tickets will be de-
feated and the bad minority on both will
be elected-thus throwing into the board a
venal majority. pledged to obey the bidding
of Buckley and Burns.
Is 1t any wonder that citizens cast about
for Nom Partisan organization?

NEW YORK POLITICS.

Senator Hill whis'led to keep I'D the
courage of the New York Democratic State
convention yesterday. He told the dele
gates that New York went Republican
last year because 800, 0UO voters stayed at
home. He oveTstated the case a little.
but it will pass as an approximation TO the
1gures. His chief mistake lay in attribut-
ing Democratic defeat to short vote. 1t
is likely that Repu blicans as well as Demo-
Gratis failed 20 vote. The result was largely
due 10 a disgust at Senator HIPS own
methods aud to the disasters which had
befailen the country under Dem oeratc
domination.
OF course, as chairman of the convention
it was Hills duty to jolly up the mem bers,
yet he probably knows as well as any
man that he is talking against the wind.
He is quite as shrewd politician as Gov
ernor Flower. Indeed, Flower is merely
Hill'S man. YET Flower knew enough to
get in out of the wet. Pro badly he could
have had the nomination had he wanted it.
He has served his master faithfully, and
could probably get as many Democratic
votes as another man. But he has seen
whatbas happened in Vermont and Maine,
and be does not propose to be set up to be
knocked down.
1t would be hard enough for the Demo-
Gratis to carry New York this year on
national issues. But it also has local
difficulties on hand. The recent investiga-
ton of corruption 10 the government of the
city of New York has uDearthed a series
of scandals which are enough TO make
Tammany tremble even in its stronghold.
There is not so much that is new about it.
only Democratic misrule has been brought
to public attention in an official way
which confirms the worst that has been
said by public rumor and credited by gen.
eral belief.
This local question becomes Of national
importance because of New York's pivotal
position. 1t will not only influence the
result of the Congressional al elections, but
will have its effect on the next national
campaign. A substantial Republican VIC
tory in New York this fall would be ac-
cepted as a earnest of what is to come
Senator Hill told his auditors that the
Republicans talk about every Septem der
and fall down In November. Unless all
signs fail, there will be no fall down this

A LOVERS STEED.
Lieutenant Casey's Black
Battle-Charger.
Sent All the Way From Montana to
the Girl he Loved in Los
Angeles.

A coal black charger, with history, ar
rived yesterday morning on the steamer
City OF Pnebla from Seattle. A handsome
horse he is wi kinky name and flowing
tail that almost touches his heels.
All the way from Fort KeOgh. Mont, he
came, through snow banks ana over hills
to the little railroad station that he was
shipped from. An orderly sergeant and a
groom accompanied him on his journey,
which does not end at San Francisco, but
must be continued on TO Los Angeles,
" here pretty young lady. Miss Hunt.
daught,r of Colonel Hunt, U. S. A., is
waiing t. receive him.
About five years ago the battle of
Wounded Knee was fought between the
Sioux Indians and three detachments of
United States cavalry. Lieutenant Henry
Casey was one of the officers in secondary
command of troop that was ordered to
disIodge number of the enemy from a
rocky fortress among the heights of the
neighboring mountains.
The battle was a short but decisive one.
4 line of skirmishers was thrown out,
then recalled and the main body horse
men. in answer to the call of the uugler,
drew closer 10 the Indians under running
fire.
Casey was st the right of his company
and fell early il the engagement, bullet
striking him il the breast. He was picked
up ana borne TO the rear, bCt his horse
dashed forward with the advancing col
umn and was not checked uni later in
the fight. The troop were victorious, but
Lieutenant Casey's lie and those of some
half dozen Of his comrades were sacrificed.
The lieutenant was engaged TO Miss
Hunt. Of whom mention has been made.
1t was his intention TO return, after the
campaign in the hills, to Los Angeles to
join the young lady and make her his
bride.
The black horse was taken to Fort
Keogh and cared for by the soldiers of the
post, who showed marked respect and
affection for the dead officer by the great
care they bestowed upon his favOIite
animal. Not human being was permit
ted to ride the charger, and for five long
years he enjoyed he comforts # the pas
ture aDd well-stocked army stable.
Miss Hunt felt deeply the affection that
was suddenly forced upon her by the muir
derOuS Sioux. She was loyal to her dead
lover. never giving thought to any suitor
that pressed her for her heart and hand.
She is pretty, accomplished ana much ad-
mired In bOtn civil and military social cir
Giles, but it has always been said that she
never seemed to look favorab bly, upon any
particular member Of the male sex since
the running fight at Wounded Knee.
The young lady expressed deep desire
to come into possession of the horse that
the lieutenant rode on the battle field, so
the military authorities at Fort Keogh de-
cded to send the animal 20 her as a
present
When the steamer Coos Bay sails for the

SHALL 1T BE DONE !?

1T is currently rumored that one or more
members of the Printing Committee have
pledged themselves to the owners of the
ring paper now doing the public printing
TO postpone any action on the letting of a
new contract until the first week in De-
cember. There can be bet one object in
pursuing this course. What that object is
can easily he guessed by any ersOn of or
binary intelligence. The Printing Commit
tee meets this morning to take action on
this matter, and 1t remains to be seen
whether there is any truth in the rumors
which are now current The printing job
is one concerning which there can be no
misapprehensioO. The Printing Commit
tee can compare the cost OF advertising
proposals under the old contract with that
under the existing contract. The bills of
the ring organ for the previous four years
are on file. So are the protests of property
holders. The roar of protests which came
from all parts of the city two years ago
will be emphasized If the present board
fails TO provide against repetition of
that kind of robbery.

PRESBYTERIAN AFFAIRS.
Mr.. DunCan's Case May Be Reviewed
and Acted Upon.

The good to be accomplished by the
proper promotion of Young People's
Societies In the church was the leading
subject of discussion during the morning
session Of the San Francisco Presbytery
yesterday.
The attendance was very large and much
interest manifested.
Moderator Herbert w. Bsvier, pastor of
the Memorial Presbyterian Church, pre-
sided. A letter of dlsmission to the San
Jose Pres byleTy was granted upon his re-
quest to Rev Waiter ID. Nicholas, hereto
fore assistant TO DR.. Mackenzie In the
pastorat, Of the First Presbyterian Church.
The request OF Rev. Mr. Dupre. hitherto
identified with III French Reform Church.
30 be admitted to the San Francisco Pres
byterY was granted.
The discussion of how 10 raise money
for the prosecution of Home Missionary
work was discussed at some length.
At noon the delegates partoOk of an
ample lunch spread in the church parlors.
The afternoon session was characterized
by reference TO request Of Rev. Mr..
Duncan, now of Oregon. to be honOrably
presbytery here, IT being his intention 10
leave the ministry. Rev. Mr. Duncan
was formerly pastor of the Howard Pres
byterian Church, and during his pastorate
lie figured before the presbytery as al APP
plicant for a lenient judgment upon GER
tain conduct Of which he pleaded guilty
and his confession being full and appaf-
eutly accompanied by repentance his
prayer was granted. 1t is possible the
case will be fully reviewed under the cir
cumstanceS.
