To the Editor:
II Of those ''yaps' who proclaim that
the prettiest women are to be found in Brooklyn
and Boston would only invest dime and come
to Staten Island. their eyes would be confronted
with beauty, such as neither the city of Churches
that Quaker Town can boast Of Staten
Island does not only boast OF Its feminine beauty
alone, but Of our girls who are up to date "
Where are the girls who compete with their
sex from the Isle by the Sea- in tossing n ten

oar to victory roll a ball for strike in
bowling, and last but not least, capture the
hearts Of the most reluctant wooer in a manner
that takes our breath.
The Staten Island girl ls always known by the
manner OF her dress, which is always with taste
and simplicity. with cheeks that are rosy and
teeth that are pearls. c. z. H.,

MIR. CLEVELAND WILL WRITE ALETTER.

John Boyd Thacher undoubtedly spoke
by the book in announcing that Presl-
dent Cleveland would write a letter In
dorsing Hill. Even n Mr.. Thatcher had
not received any direct intlmation that
such letter would be forthcoming, he
would be perfectly justified in making
the prediction, merely upon the strength
OF precedent.
No one who has read Mr.. Cleveland's
public letters can fail to recognize his
entire conservation OF himself to the
public service. His personal comfort.
his direct political interests, even his
political friends. have ever been sac
rinced without hesitation to his con-
ception OF the public good
This entire devotion, this thorough alb
negation OF ideals, friends and sup
porters was beautifully illustrated In
the famous campaign In which Col
Fellows and DE Lancey Nicoll were
rival candidates for District-Attorney.
Nothing less than the most profound
consciousness OF the necessity OF sacri-
ficlng the principles he had always up
held, and the people who had aided him
to uphold them could have induced the
PRESIDENT OF tne 'hi'eu Sth'ce W WIG
the letter he did In favor Of Col. Fel-
lows
with that incident in view. II IL
foolish TO suppose that Mr.. Cleveland
will fail to write a letter condemning
the course of some of his friends and
supporters in opposing Mr.. Hill.
It is not conceivable that the man
who could lick his chops over 20 rank
mess OF reed-bird as Fellows will
turn UP his nose at such nice, we'll

THE ELEVATOR STILL WAITS.

by means of which he could ascend to
the top OF the investigation building,
and an Office directory, giving informa-
ton as to the occupation OF each floor.
The contribution was timely, mas
much as at yesterdays session OF the
Committee some of Its members ex-
pressed the opinion that the time had
arrived for going higher, and seemed
DESTROYS that their counsel should take
the elevator and start for the top
story. When Mr. Con- reached the Com
mlttee-room he expressed his condemna-
ton Of the Ego higher" policy OF the
Senators. and justified the course taken
by the counsel.
But the reasons given by Mr.. Con- for
his dissent from the Committees views
are not wholly satisfactory. He says
the investigation began at the head,
and "was confronted by brazen WALL
that the Committees witnesses were
taken from them In the dead of night.
although watched up to the time OF
going to bed, and he believes that the
exposure of the heads of the Depart
ment would have been known to very
few. while the unearthing OF the lower
strata of corruption reaches the masses

Ex-Commissioner McClayes arraign-
| ment led to his prompt resignation. and
| the presence of his successor In the
| Police Board has certainly been a helI
| to the investigators. If all the Com
missIoners had been driven out. would
not the stealing of witnesses from under
the very nose Of the Committee have
ceased2
The work done by Mr.. Con has been
admirable. 1t has furnished popular
proof that the vilest corruption prevails
among the lower members OF the force,
and that terrorism and blackmail have
been more general than people believed.
But ought not the inquiry to go
higher" now that this fact has been
| clearly established?
IL there not danger the people will
suspect that the higher officers, the
Inspectors and Commissioners. are 10
lie allowed to escape? Is II not to be
feared that some evil-minded and de-
signing persons may spread abroad the
lie that the tenderness towards the
heads OF the Department has some re-
lation to the approaching election?
Mr., COTS work has been too valuable
too earnest and too effective to be
subjected to detraction. But II would
| surely be improved now by going higher
and would be more certain to secure
that thorough cleaning out OF the sys-
TEN impossible of accomplishment until
the chief offenders have been reached.
