What is true of Brooklynsapplcs with equal
force to other cities where the administration
of criminal law has been and still Is deplorably
lax The District-Attornys are responsible to
a large degree for prevailing conditions OF law
]essness and UNPUBLISHED crime. IT they were
faithful to their trusts. political offences would
not be cOndOned. Their Offices are TOO ofteh
controlled by the party bosses and the political
gangs by whose favor and patronage Their
own nominations have been secured. what Is
the consequence? The processes OF justice are
paralyzed whenever officials or politicians de-
serve TO be indicted or prosecuted Dis'rlcf-

murdcrcrs. and there is law enough 10 secure

L1UBRE4KERS OVERTHROWN.

The Grayesend lawbrcakers have made an
unconditional surrender Sixteen election in
spectors have pleaded guilty to the indictments
charging them with conspiracy, and will be
sentenced today. The conviction OF McKane
involved by implication their guilt, and
they acted prudcnty IN submitting themselves
TO the mercy Of the court Jamieson's sentence
was pronounced by Justice Brown in accord
ance with the jury's recommendation for mercy.
With Il maximum penalty Of ten years, n SEN
tcncc of eighteen months Imprisonment was
lenient. although 1t was extremely rigorous In
comparison with Newton's term. With the dis
posal of these cases the criminal docket OF
Gravescnd has been nearly cleared few
cases still remain, but the work of the prOsccli-
ton Is practically done. The net has been
hauled in with fish big and little, and only one
slippery eel has dropped out.
The success Of the prosecution in these eases
is signal proof Of the efficiency Of law when
the administration Of the ,Dstrict-Attorney's
Office is in the right handsN No one who has
carefully read Justice Cullcn's recent decision
can doubt that Mayor Body and the Board Of
Aldermen of 1893 escaped Indictment by the
Grand Jury solely because the Dstrict-Attor
ney Of Kings County protected them by an
erroneous and strained Interpretation of law.

The Belknap Plume Drill.

Last night the regular monthly
plume drill of the Belknap Rifles
took place at the armory, starting
at $3.50 o'clock, when forty men in
full dress uniform lined up. After
one hour of commands, S. McAdoo,
the winner of nine first medals,
made an error and was ordered out,
as did also Arthur Storms, a medal
winner. Clarence Mangrum, Emil
Blum, O. Green and G. Gazell
then remained. Inspecting arms,
the command retired Mangum and
Blum. The winners were O. Green,
gold medal, and G. Gazell, silver
medal. O. Green has won the gold
medal twice and the second medal
six times. After the drill an en-
ioyable dance was INDUCED in and
at late hour the company depart
ed for their several homes.

With a View to Save the Texas
Democracy.
AUSTIN, Tex, Jan. %.
To the DAILY LIGHT:
Said a we'll known politician this
morning: "GOVernOr HOgg has
been invited. and has accepted the
invitation to speak at Dallas on
next Saturday, for the purpose of
effecting a reconciliation between
the Hogg and Clark factions of
Texas Democracy. There is a
strange inconsistency in any ones
making this request, and further
in Gov. HOgg's accepting it. l say
strange inconsistency, for Gov.
HOgg to attempt to recon-
cile the two factions of Democ-
racy, in the face of utterances
he has made in the past.
Saturday night, November y, 1899,
James S. Hogg returned from a
heated campaign flushed with vic
tory and was welcomed by his fol-
lowers in the Capital City. The
line of march was from the depot
to the Capitol, and thence to the
Hall of the Representatives. When
the crowd had become seated Gov.
Hogg made a speech. 1t was a
characteristic one; it bespoke in
every line of it boastful tri-
umph. Driving the course of
the Governors remarks he
made the following satirical re-
marks:
"Let's tell those misguided fell
lows that thought they could beat
Jim Hogg that can repent and
come back. | want to tell them
that when they get into the boat
with us, however, that they will
make good ballasts but that we
can't trust them with the oars"
The above is what Governor
Hogg said on that occasion. 1t now
behooves him to retract these re-
marks before he attempts giving
any advice as to how a reunion
could be affected. SMOOT.

returned home yesterday and reported
that they had great success there. The
goOdly sum Of $3.50 was taken in at the
doors, of which 500 was donated to the
Women'S Benevolent association of New

the debutant, though nervous and anx-

or the police be instructed to take little

PUTTING OFF THE EVIL DAY

Chairman Wilson is evidently a man of
some feeling He seems disposed TO give
the victims of his free-trade policy a
chance to get out of the boat before il
swamps. His last fight in the Ways and
Means Committee was TO put off the date
when the WOODEN schedule should 60 into
operation until December 1, in order to
give growers and manufacturers another
year of business. The committee over
ruled him. and if the House does not over
rule the committee the woolen schedule
will go into effect with the rest of the bill.
The Washington correspondent Of a free
trade contemporary says:
just before the vote was taken Wilson
stated that iObbers were now hesitating
whether TO place their orders for fall goods
here or abroad; and II the committee amend
ment carried home manufacturers would make
next falps goods.
Professor Wilson's argument apparently
has little weight. The jobbers will place
their orders for fall goods abroad. The
committee would not even give .he home
manufacturers the benefit of another sea-
SOD. 1t looks as il majority of the Ways
and Means Committee had alresdy de-
ciphered the handwriting on the wall and
were determined to make the most of
their brief term of power.
