THE LESSON or PENTECOST

Pentecost announced yesterday that after n
conference with Colonel Fellows he had de-
cided TO relieve him Of embarrassment by de-
clining the office Of Assistant Distrct-Attorney.
Custom sanctions a certain tenderness Of
phraseology In. such cases, but the hard truth
Is that the Colonel finally saw that II wouldn't
do and told Pentccos that he must stand aside.
No doubt the official circle would chccrfuily
consent 10 regard the incident rs closed, but
the community will not look mt 1t in that way,
at east so long as there is reason TO fear that
some other place at the public crib will be
found for the blasphenons Anarchist. The new
old DistrctAtorncy practically acknowledges
that be has begun his second term with Il
colossal and peculiarly offensive blnndcr We
observe also that he claims 1t rs all his own.
He Is inclined to think that Mr. Croker received
his first intimatlon Of Peniecost's appointment
from the newspapers last Friday afternoon.

THE DEFENDERS OF MKANE.

The election Of John " McKane to the office
Of chairman pro TEN. OF the Kings County
Board Of Supervisors, by the votes Of men who
hold their seats under the more than question
able title Of an appointment by last years
Board Of Aldermen, was by no means unex
pected but for that reason is not the less to
be dcplorcd on the score Of civic pride and
decency That the chief elective officer of the
legislative body Of the second largest county
in the State Of Ncw-York should be n notorious
political boss a man under sentence to i'm
priSOnmcnt for contempt of court and defiance
of judicial injunction made TO insure the purity
OF elections, and only ont Of jail because Of a
technical question raised in the mind Of a SUI
prcmc Court Justice who comedies his out
ing under eleven indictments for violations OF
the election laws-that such Il man, after all
these facts were well known, should be elected
to such an office, Is enough 10 bring shame 10
every citizen Of Kings County and arouse IN
dignaton against The oiiice-holders who have
thus acted in defiance Of the peoples recent
verdict at the polls against Mcianc and others
of his ilk.
From another point Of view this astonishing
piece Of impudence on the part Of Mclaughlin
and his gang may be looked upon with com
plaisancc. 1t may teach useful lesson to the
respectable Democratic voters of Kings County
who perhaps have had n notion that the only
trouble with the Mclaughlin machine was that
it was overwhelmed by prosperity, and was
through fairness grown corrupt. They may
have imagined fondly that singing rebuke
at the polls would bring the leaders TO their
senses. and lead to Q reorganization Of the

THE TRIBUNE'S RELIEF PLAN.
WISE AND EFFICIENT BENEVOLEN

From The Philadelphia Press.
The Fresh-Air Fund of The New-York Tribune
has years been admirably administered and
successful work of benevolence. Its underlying
principle is that all the expense OF organizing and
conducting It Is privately provided. that every
dollar OF contribution Is applied 10 the charity IL
self The Tribune has now inaugurated a project
on the same principle to furnish coal and food to
the unemployed and needy in New-York. and Mr..
Whitelaw Reid has opened the ball with contr-
button of 1900 The scheme is most intelligentiy
planned under experienced executive, who
makes personal investigation, and 1t works In CO.
operation with established charities. 1t is an ex-
cellent Illustration OF wise and efficient benevoence.

Wheat and rye are up in many counties

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 25.-The Kansas
dairymen have organized for an ag-

tend to ask the legislature to pass a
law prohibiting its sale in the state.
At the recent meeting of the State
Dairy association here a committee of
three of the most prominent dairymen
in Kansas was appointed to look after
legislation in the interest of the dairy
industry, and especially to guard it
against the fraudulent sale of oleomar-
garine.
The committee has issued an address
to the public reciting that Kansas is
entitled to take rank as one of the lead
ing dairy states of the union; that dairy
farmers and creameries have increased
to such an extent that thousands of
farmers are dependent upon them for a
livelihood; and. furthermore, that the
margin of profits under protective laws
would be more certain than from any
other branch of agriculture.

Demand for Silver Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Since the
work of moving crops in the south and
west the treasury department has been
called upon to supply these sections
with silver dollars. Silver dollars have
become known in the treasury depart
ment as crop dollars because of the
extra demand made for them at this
time of the year. This year the de-
mand is heavy indicating, it is thought,
an unusually heavy crop both in the
south and west In the west silver and
gold are asked for in preference to sill
yer certificates or treasury notes. In
the south the uniform demand is for
silver.
