Tammany Rascaii!y.

The knavery that is being unearthed in
New York police circles by the Lexow in
vestigating committee is simply appalling.
The Manchester, N. H., Union has sum-
mary of the revelations to date which pre-
sents some astonishing facts.
! II had previously been proven that the
police department was in collusion with
liquor dealers, gamblers and keepers of
houses of ill-fame, and derived a large
revenue from the protection of those
who were willing to pay for it. Now it
appears that the ereen-goods swindlers also
enjoyed police protection. A monthly
stipend insured immunity from arrest, and
also the prosecution of rivals who we're so
unwise as to attempt to carry on the green
goods business withou. the help of the po-
lice department. Postofiice and telegraph
clerks were also IN the pay of the swim
dlers, as well as detectives at railway sta
tons. In fact the entire detective and po
lice departments of New York are by the
sworn testimony before the committee
shown to be honeycombed with rottenness
and corruption. How high in police circles
lightning will strike before the investigation
is ended is only conjecture, but patrolmen
and captains of police have thus far been
the principal victims. There are intima-
tions that the commissioners themselves
will be under fire before the legislative
committees work is concluded, and at this
distance it does not seem possible that such
a disgraceful state of affairs could have
existed without their knowledge, even
if they did not connive at it
and profit by it. Witnesses testified that
similar police protection for the green-goods
business could be and had been secured in
other large cities, which, if true, explains
why it has been so difficult to break up
these groups of swindlers and bring the
leaders to justice. 1t is most lamentable
state of affsirs and re fleets severely upon
the detective and police systems of the great
cities. With the facts that have been
brought to light in this investigation, there
ought to be no hesitation in attacking in
competency and corruption in every police

Wow ST., Blood,!, How the knives
are flashing in the Democratic camp! 1t is
the onslaught of "the boys" who were not
permitted to "come into the garden Maud"
upon the leaders Of the Plum Trust in the
hour of their chagrin and humiliation. Here
is the way the New Age pitches into the
fray:
"That unprecedented course pursued by
the Democratic State committee would
bring about such result was inevitable.
"Men who had furnished character,
brains and money to the party and labored
long and earnestly for its success were ig-
nored, even insulted, their wishes disre-
garied and in many cases, appointments
made which we're obnoxious to Democrats
10 the localities in which office was located"
But this isn't all The Age goes on to
declare that the committees assessment of
ten dollars on every Democratic aspirsnt
for office, their refusal in many cases to
grant hearing even, the reversal in numer-
Gus instances of the action of local COM
mittees by one or two men, who had con-
stituted themselves "a court of last resort"
when it suited their wishes, the selishness
manifested in selecting the best offices in
the Safe by almost the entire committee en-
dorsing each other therefor and using the
power which they had arrogated to them
selves to compel self-endorsement by prom
inent Democrats who asked recognition at
the hands of the administration, the total
inefficiency shown in making no effort to
harmonize the party, but, on the contrary,
blighting its prospects by endesvoring to
''read out of the party" all who stood in the
way of the accomplishment of its own selfish
ends, the abandonment of all political work
by the committee from the day of President
Cleveland's election and devoting its time
and energies to securing federal position for
its own members and personal friends s,-all
these contributed to make the honest, prin-
cipled adherents of the Democratic party in
Maine at first restless, and finally disgusted
with the party management. The honest
rank and file of the Democratic party can
not stand everything. They know no other
way of letting the party leaders know their
feelings than by staying at home on election
day.
We are inclined to think that the Age,
and not unusturslly, 10 disposed to give the
Plum Trust altogether too much credit for
the great Republican victory in this State.
1t is doubtless true that Democratic dis
satisfaction with the manner in which
the federal patronage has been distributed
in this State contributed to the number of
stay at home Democrats; but it was not the
prime reason for the Republican landslide
Democratic management of our national
affairs was directly responsible for that.
The people of Maine have felt the pinch of
hard times. They were indignant at tariff
measure, framed by Southern members of
Congress, that ruthlessly sacrificed nearly
every important industry of their State

patriotic foreign policy of the admin
i.tration also excited their contempt. In
