DIR. PARKHUBsT As \ REFORMER,

There is a need OF praise due DR..
Parkhurst for his fearless and success
full attack upon crime as he found it IL
New York City. With an earnest and
prayerful desire to get at the bottom OF
the matter he sacrificed, for the time,
what might be REGARDED the dignity OF
his high station and made personal IN
spection Of the worst dens of inlq uity
in the city. He did this after having
counted the cost and weighing the crlIl-
cisms that many good people would put
upon him. but with the conviction that
his highest duty TO his church and race
was to rid the world of crime, as far as
lay in his power, he nude the means
subservent to the end. How far he has
succeeded is known TO all readers of cur
rent events. 1t was the beginning
of work which eliminated on Nov. =
in the defeat of Tammany al the polls.
1t was the first awakening to the fact
that every form of vice was not only
permitted by the authorities, but that
officers of the law and the police of the
city were active partners in every grade
of crime. Here a man with less courage
than DIR. Parkaurst would have faltered,
but the horrible revelations which came
with his Investigations only renewed
him to greater energy. His earnestness
is hetter depicted by 4 quotation from
one of his public addresses IN WEIGH he
SAYS: every step we take looking to
Of
to be taken directly in the teeth Of
the dannable pack of administrative
| bioodhounds that are fattening them
selves on the ethical flesh and blood Of
our citizenship
The details Of this hideous coalition
| between crime and the city authorities
was a revelation so frightful that the
better element of all parties took up the
W ork and rendered the worthy divine
every aid possible. The test Of their de-
sire for better government came at the
late election. The man Grant and Dis
trict Attorney NicoI!, with the wealth
and organized influence of TammaEy
behind them, were most ingloriously de
fcated. This is reform which means.
what it SAYS. II is reform which will
not be confined TO the limits Of New
York, but. let us hope, will be as a
spreading wave to cover the whole
country. The one menacing danger
TO our republic, which stands
above all othcts, Is this corruption III

PARTY PERPLEXITY.

The political astrologers, the mind
readers and these claiming the gift Of
prophecy will have ample scope to exer-
else their faculties in guessing at the
tariff policy 10 be outlined IN the next
Democratic platform. 1t was grand!-
loquent rehash of the text books whose
authors was mostly Enghshmen aud col
lege professors that adorned their decla-
ton of principles two years ago, but
somehow tie thing failed 10 work, and
the party and its leaders, instead OF
planting its feet upon the solid Iock OF
reform, sat themselves down between
two chairs The position now Is most
trying, not to say Illuminating. All
they know for certain IS that
the program has miscarried. The peo-
pie have Gala them down, and now re
vision is to be the order. The lexlcons,
dictionaries and encyclopedias Of words
and phrases which convey q double
meaning, or no meaning at all, vii! be
ransacke1 by the experts. Political
economists, political bosses and possible
candidates will be drawn upon. Iue
business Thermometer Will be watched
with daily interest with view to as
certaining the effect Of that hybrid,
hvphenated mOnstTosity-thc German
Wllson-Sugar Trust law, and every re-
source wi hin the mental range OF a
routed Democracy viii be drawn upon.
The most painful circumstance IS that
the exacting public viii expect the party
to talk out plainly il that platform. No
Juggling of words, or dallyiEg With
principles will meet the case. 1t IS pain
fully apparent now that the tariff IS an
issue which has much to do with every
voters private interests. The party has
fooled them once with empty sound
ing pIaiitudes, but they VIII
stand no foolishness next time.
1t will be a new experiment for this
party TO render an account Of is own
stewardship. The long established Gus
tom of heaping abuse anu plying cpl
thets to the opposite party for It's official
conduct will be denied them. They viii
talk CT their own record and show
wherein they are worthy Of trust. How
this is to be done will be set forth IN the
platform. We will see the mountain
labor but will keep our eye on the mlce.

A Recent Sale Of Property on Penn
sylvania Avenue.
WHEN TEE GOVERNMENT is 4 BUYER
The Relative importance Of Water
and Sewer Facilities.
ROW NJ E n T S

Sales of property on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. are not Of frequent occurrence. This
Is not because real estate holdings on that
thoroughfare are not in demand, but the
main reason appears to be that the bulk
of 1t is held by those who do not seem to be
disposed to part with it. For years this
property was considered the most desirable
in the business section Of the city and the
result was that it came largely into the
hands of those who wanted permanent in
vestments. The original purchasers have to
q considerable extent died, and the holdings
have passed into the hands of their heirs.
While Pennsylvania avenue can no longer
be regarded as the principal business street
Of the city. business has by no means de-
parted from 1t and 1t is thought by good
Judges that this change will never be made.
The avenue is a great thoroughfare be-
tween principal points in the city and this
fact as well as the one that 1t is the parade
ground of the capital insures the contin-
uance of the business character Of the
street.
Occasionally a piece of property on the
avenue is offered for sale. as was the case
few days ago. when some holdings form
ing portion of the Farnham estate were
ordered to be sold as the result Of pro-
ceedings in equity. These were the adjoin-
ing pieces of property Nos. 1228 and l22S
Pennsylvania avenue, on the south side, be-
tween 18th and 18th streets, and extending
back to ID street, with improvements 'front.'
ing on both streets. The frontage on the
avenue Is about thirty-one feet and the
average depth is about one hundred and five
feet with a total Of 1926 square feet. The
property was knocked down to the highest
bidder Mrs. Caroline s. Curtiss. by the
auctioneer, Mr.. Duncanson. for the sum of
$1,000, which is at the rate Of q little over
So per square foot. This is about the usual
tab ha al nf ho

Government as a Land Buyer.
When, however the Washington and
Georgetown Railroad Company several
years ago sought to buy the entire square
where their power house is now located,
they were obliged to pay, on an average,
for the entire square between $l1 and ST.
per foot. The government paid about the
same figure for the square where the city
post office is now being erected. While the
prices paid in these cases We're con-
siderably higher than those which had been
