WORK OF PLUT0CRACY
Horrible Catalogues of
Crime.
A Comparison With the
Past,

We are every day appalled, by the
awful catalogue of crimes contained
in our daily papers. We have drifted
insensibly into this condition. and
many scarcely notice it. They do not
sec the significant meanings contain
ed in it.
As a matter of curiosity we turned
the other day, to a bound volume of
the old ST. Paul "Pioncer''-a Demo-
cratic daily-afterwards united with
the Press to make the PiOneer-PreSS.
The year was 1S6S-twenty-siX years
ago. The war was just over; the South
was in a distressed and turbulent con-
diton, and millions of eX-soldiers had
been recently discharged. Here were
all the elements for disturbed social
state-f0r violence, for crime. And
yet in one week, from January 4. 1868,
to January II, 1868 we were aStOnished
to observe how few serious offences
were committed. Aman named Van
Solen, had shot his wife while clean
ing his revolver, and he was tried for
murder: he alleging that the act was
accidental; and the jury could not
agree as to his guilt. But with the
exception of the trial of this party for
a crime committed some months be-
fore, we found nothing during tina t
week but bank failure and connu-
bial scandal, in the record for the
whole United States. In the South
there was Republican meeting
broken up by the Democrats, that
was ALL
1t seemed to be an era of almost un
limited peace and good order. The
country then had $67 .26 Of currency in
circulation per capita.
Now let us contrast this record of
twenty-siX years ago, at the close of
the great civil war. with the ncwspa-
per reports of to-day, when we have
less than s. per capita.
Take November 26, 1894.
Here we have great headlines:

while the husbands do simply nothing but enjoy
themselves. The ~dressmakers even keep a good

A NEW POLICE COMMISSIONER

This is an era OF political surprises.
Mayor Gilroy was In accord with the
spirit of the times when he went into
the regular Republican organization for
a successor to Police Commissioner
MacLean yesterday, and picked out
Charles Henry Murray for the position.
Mr.. Murray was Supervisor OF the
Census OF 1890, and was known princi-
pally to the people Of New York as the
city depopulator. His count OF the city
population was at once denounced as
inaccurate. judging from the health and
other statistical reports, and a census.
taken under the management OF the
police with great care a short time
afterwards. showed about two hundred
thousand more inhabitants than Mr..
Murray had discovered. The incorrect
count had, however, deprived the city OF
one Congressman in the apportionment
1t has been suggested that Mayor Gil.
roy may have discovered a service &c
the cause OF reform In this lessening o.
the city's lawful Congressional repre-
sentation.
Mr., Murray has been a resident o
New York City for thirty-hve years
He is n stalwart Republican. and Mayo
Gilroy declares that he named him o,
that account, a. a fair representative o
his party. The Mayor declares his be
lief In the propriety OF an eaua
political division OF the Pole
Board. and in that differs fror
Mayor Grant, who claimed that the ma
jority party ought to control and be r.
sponsible for the POLICE management.

A FORWARD STEP.

Gov Flower has signed the bill to
further protect the ballot-box. by making
IL a penal o~ffense, punishable by terms
of Imprisonment varying from six months
to one year, for a person to mutilate a
voting booth. unfold a ballot before the
close Of the pole. refuse to leave a polling
place when ordered to do so by the in
spectors or contribute n money or
promise any office as an inducement for
voting.
The latter provision Is designed to
make It plain that indirect bribery. such
as was alleged against some OF the
party leaders In the last election. In the
offer Of prizes and positions for the
largest party vote pol.ed. is just as much
an offense as direct bribery.
But the provision against the contribu-
ton Of money is expected to take a very
wide range. 1t may be held 10 put a
stop to all those contributions for "eiec-
ton expenses" under pretense OF which
candidates are made to pay large as
sessments for nominations. This Will
strike a severe blow at the profits of
organization leaders.
1t Is still legal 10 raise money for
election xpense under the plea OF con-
tributions from the candidates for print
ing the paster ballots. II the ballot Law
prohibiting any but official pastors had
been enacted. the last excuse for raising
money from candidates would have beer
removed. As It Is. the bill now made
law by the Governors signature ma,
seriously interfere with the heavy con
tributions gathered In by all party bossel
at election time.
