DEMOCRACY MOVING.

The Democratic State Committee will
meet next Thursday at Saratoga to rx
the day and place for the Democratic
State Convention. Gov. Flower is
already OH hand, and It Is expected that
there will be a pretty full representation
OF the party at the meeting.
When the Republican State Commit
tee met at the Fifth Avenue Hotel a
few days ago. Boss Plat sprang a mine
which blew the Union League faction
into the air and settled the question of
admission to the Republican State Con-
vention. II any portion of tho Union
League Committee obtains recognition
1t will only be by the liberation Of Boss
Plat and his Milhollanders.
The situation in the Democracy L.
much the same as In the Republ. rar
party. There will be a contest In :us
State Convention for the New York scat,
by the Grace State Democracy. But
there will be no attempt to infiuenc,
the Conventions action through tn,
State Committee. The chances favor
very peaceful and dovelike time a
Saratoga next Thursday. and much coo
ing instead OF quarrelling.
1t Is too early. however, to speculat,

IROcXWAY's DEFENSE.

In the Elmira investigation case the
State closed the prosecution Thursday
and the Trustees were given until Sept.
Z to begin the defense. The next meet
Ing OF the Commission will be at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel on that day.
1t IA known what line the defendants
will take. They will bring forward wit
nesses to swear to the good management
Of the institution and the humanity OF
Brockway. They will assail the testi-
mony for the prosecution on the ground
that the witnesses are bad prisoner
who have been punished for their Of
lenses. and have a revengeful feeling
against Brockway.
But they overlook the fact that they
excluded all evidence that was confrma-
tory OF the stories OF the tortured vic
Tins. on the plea that 1t was not ID
rect and would not be admitted In a
murder trial where an assassin was be-
Ing tried for his life.
They will also plead that the punish
ments were not cruel and inhuman."
Not cruel. when the victims stood be-
fore the Commission crippled or other
wise injured for life? Not inhuman
when human beings were thrown into
Clark cells. chained to posts and bars
like wild beasts and kept there without
u change of position and almost with.
out food for many days?
The case is one In which no defense
Is possible. unless the vilest tortures
that can be inflicted on the human form
are excusable, and unless the days OF
thumbscrews and the rack were days OF
love and humanity.

Prominent Doctors Say that Eye

A CHANGE DESIRABLE.

Mayor Gilroy Is not apt to submit to
insubordination and impertinence OH
the part OF his subordlnates In the city
government. When he requires an OFF,
cial duty to be performed by a depart
ment over which lie possesses the au-
thority OF chief executive he intends
that II should be done without evasion
or trickery. He has had occasion In
more than one instance to call the Park
Commissioners to account. and they
have generally found 1t eXpedient TO
follow his directions.
For some reason President Clausen has
evinced a disposition to oppose the pub
lie will In relation to the Speedway.
His latest exhibition of this spirit has
been in his pig-headed determination not
to employ the services OF landscape
architect In laying out that public work.
The rebuke the refractory Commission
ers received and the humiliation and
defeat they suffered in their attempts
to prevent the construction OF two side
walks might well have taught them II
lesson. But they seem resolved 70 have
their own way in botching the Speed
way work and preventing the develop
ment OF the many landscape beauties
OF which 1t Is susceptible.
The Mayor addressed a letter TO Mr.
Clausen on this subject some time ago.
requiring him to show cause for his
stubborn and stupid opposition TO the
public wishes In this direction. The
| President OF the Board tossed the otfic al
document aside and implied that he
would answer II at his leisure. Before
the Mayor left for Saratoga he raped
Mr.. Clausen sharply over the knuckles
for this impertinence and demanded an
immediate reply to his letter.
Mr.. Clausen's answer Is understood TO
await the Mayors return. II 1t Is not
satisfactory, 1t is to be hoped that the
Mayor will request the Commissioner
resignation. The failure OF Mr.. Clausen
to make a full and satisfactory report
OF ths expenditure Of the Million Dollar
Relief Fund Is OF itself sufficient to
make change In the Park Board dc.
