Nathan Straus, has on several occasions taken
pains to proclaim that though with Tammany

he is Independent.
The attempt 10 spread this opinion is at once
disngcnuous and scf-accusing. Mr.. Straus like
whose responsibility does not allow them 10

by having his name kept off from the Wigwam
roll Consequently he is able to say that he
does not belong to Tammany, while being in
full communion with its leaders. obeyng all
their orders. having part in their plans, and
doing his utmost to maintain them in power.
Mr. Straus has been and is still by the favor
Of Tammany Hall member Of the Park Board.
His every action in that capacity has been char

interests and mpudcnt defiance Of popular
sentiment. His quick haste to carry into effect

decent people fled in horror from the sound Of
his voice; even his Tammany colleagues de-
cIarcd themselves Disguised and nauseated, and
the Assembly. by practically unanimous vote
excluded his foul speech from its record.
ON June H. 1894. the former keeper Of a dis
orderly house in this city testified before the
Lexow Committee that he had rented the house
for vile purposes of Philip Wissig: that Philip
Wssig sent him 10 the police 10 purchase pro-
lection for his infamous business: and that

Our learned always interesting contem-

tracing the history of the phrase Public office Is
a public trust" and asserting that Grover Cleve
land has never used that precise form Of words
although he is commonly credited with the au-
thorship Of the aphorism. The Sun finds that
the idea was expressed as long ago as 1920 In an
opinion rendered by Lord Loughborough In NAM

this expression in various forms. it makes
omission that 1t is well TO call attention To. In
his speech at the opening Of the Brooklyn Bridge

was present on that occasion, In his capacity as
