A CAMPAIGN OF CHARITY.

is one character especially despised by the tough, and that is the "squealer." The word has several definitions. To squeal, in the criminal parlance, is to confess under threats. To squeal in the sporting phrase is to make sound of wai1in9 and lamentation when one has the worst of anything. It is to ,whimper, to ''cry baby"
 Now was there ever such spectacle of the 'cry baby act" as has been given by the police of New York oin the last days of the Lexow investigation? It came out in the case of Capt. ;Schmittberger and few others, that they had made the most touching ap- peals for mercy. But the public has not had any accurate idea of the scur- rying that has been going on, and of the abject kneeling and begging to which some of the very heads of this arrogant department have been brought.
 Think of it! Can you imagine more absurd spectacle than that presented by police captain who had collected blackmail right and left for dozen years, whose income has been enormous, and his scale of living (when not too closely watche1 absolutely princely- the spectacle, say, of that mans go- ing down on his knees and begging for the silence of those whom he has black mailed, and offering as his plea the al- legation that he is a poor man with a large family! It has been done, not once alone, but many times.
 It is not altogether useless to con- template such pictures. That is the character which can be formed by sim- liar conditions anywhere. The kick ing legs of the bully and the running legs of the coward require only one pair of pantaloons. We, in New York, have cut those trousers of blue cloth and have put a stripe down the side. We've known for years that we were breeding up the bully, and now some of us are surprised to find that we've bred the coward as well.
 But didn't mean to get serious. intended to confine myself to the con- sideration of funny fellows like Police Justice Paddy Divver. think he's the funniest man I ever heard of He held two offices One was that of Tammany boss in his district. The qualifications fpr such an office are, to be brief, un- Flushing rascality and the friendship df thieves. The other office was that of pplice justice. It requires the strictest iAtegrity.

JIM coRBETT: EIGHT o'DoNNELL FIRST" not one of them has ever done yet-the tiger would feel very weak on the evening of election day. And why shouldn't they, for Tammany has done just what Corbett did. The old wooden-headed Indian of Fourteenth street has been challenged, and he has replied: Flight Mir. Straus." It was perfectly well known that Tammany because 1t did not dare It desired to shift the fight on to somebody else. If a suspicion of such conduct on the part of Mir. Corbett raised howl from the offended moral sense of the broken nosed battalion, which forced MT. Cor bett to change his tune, what could Tammany expect from the same tao tics? Just what it got. 'The boys" wouldn't support Straus. They said: "What t'ell9 Dey had a right ter nom- mate Grant"
 On the whole, have rarely seen any, thing so amusing as that nomination. It is understood throughout the coun- try, of course, that Mir. Straus' strong pOluU WdS HIS WCll-hnOWa CHdTlUy. Imagine Tammany hall, which has (not metaphorically but actually col- lected tribute from the blind beggars on the street corners, making cam paign on the issue of charityl
 Think of the shopkeepers on the east side, whose profits of a few hun dred dollars year have never been exempt from Tammany's exactions, be- ing asked to vote for Straus because he Is good to the poorl
 It may seem to the reader that these things are long way off from his per sonal interest, but I think such rich ness ought to be appreciated any, where.
 We have had this year another excel lent illustration of the shrewdness of politicians. That is, perhaps, the best joke in politics. That adjective is per petually reserved for the stupidest of men. l would not trust convention of the political leaders of New York city to make mud pie, if I wanted good one. These Tammany sachems believed that because MT. Straus con- trolled the advertising of one of our largest dry goods stores that the news papers would support him. Ilis was regarded by them as one of the atrong points of his candisiacy. And no candi-

date, in my recollection, has ever so conspicuously lacked newspaper sup port.
 Why, new printers devil in any of the newspaper offices-so new devll that he's afraid to get ink on bis face-a might have told these shrewd politicians exactly howmuch influence that consid- eration would have upon the press of the city. But they did not ask print CTS devils advice. They did not have sense enough.
 If Tammany's leaders had had as much perceptiye power as "a blind mans blind dog they would have seen what was coming when. Dr. Parkhurst got after them a couple of years ago. But they evidently >mistook him for Rev. Sam Jones. They thought that he would talk little while and then quit. Nobody else thought so. Nine people out of ten with whom I talked-not seounting politieians-belieyed that he would succeedif he wasn't rremoved." And if ever there has been game well played and easily won, the doctor has played such game. So far as can see, his adversaries have not gained a point. Observers of the struggle have sometimes been deceived by the size of the board and the number of the pieces. They have mistaken a slow game for one we'll contested. But the fact is that Dr. Parkhurst has not been matchad in any single point of the fight. He has played like Ajeeb, the chess machine, which once defeated me in twenty moves when it might have been done much less skillfully in half a dozen. Even Superintendent Byrnes, who really has head on his shoulders, has been child in the clergyman's hands, and now draws nearer and nearer to the inevitable spanking.

 Next to white and silver effects, lavender claims popular favor. It is worn a great deal in the senechal silks, which are woven in fine, subtle cord ings that are scarcely distinguishable.
 For dinner gowns and stately recep- tions the more brilliant brocades are worn. Or damask of light color is effectively combined with black velvet The neY damasks have stripes of fine leaf patterns set between those of plain satin. When the trimming Is velvet, the entire back of the skirt may be made of 1t; plaitings or velvet loops, hung with jet, trim the front, and the corselet and sleeve puffs are also of vel vet.
 All velvet gowns made very simply are worn at the theater and the dinner. These, however, have high corsages, and but little trimming. They are not necessarily in sober black, but often in the brilliant, fashionable shades.

When Mir. Fitzsimmons politely re- quested MT. Corbett to fight for the championship of the world, Gentleman Jim, In his suavest manner, replied: Flight Mir. O'Donnell."
 As MT. O'Donnell did not have the championship of the world, nor any thing else which could render him att tracfive to Mir. Eitzsimmons, the ex- kangaroo declined the proposition with derision. The short-haired fraternity, almost to man, sided with lanky Bob, and they raised such laugh upon MT. Corbett that he was unable to stand 1t. He was speedily forced to recognition of the fact that fighting by proxy is not regarded as courageous It Is probable that few distinguished men ever lost so many friends in so short 8 time as did MT. Corbett in the few days of the O'Donnell absurdity. Fi- nally he felt himself obliged to meet MT. Fitzsimmons and sign an agree ment to fight at some future day-I forget when, but it is not in the life time of the present generation.
 Itseems to me that this historical incl dent has direct application to the po- litical situation in New York city. There are about hundred thousand young men in the metropolis who regard the heavyweight championship of the world as a much more honorable dis tinction than the presidency of the United States. I see dozens of these young men every day, and I recognize them by the fact that their noses have been broken. They are not possessed of all the Christian virtues, but they respect something which is called n,ud," and believe that Mir. Corbett

CHAWED HIS THU NIB
CONSTABLE SAM JONES GIVEN A
BITING RECEPTION YESTERDAY.
While Exercising His Right as an
Officer of the Law Mrs. Schneider
man Chewed His Finger With
Cannibalistic Appetite-Ex-
citing Time Over a Coat.

From the midst of jargcn OF mixed
English and German, while the air was
filled with flying dust and hair and scraps
cf clothing, Constable Sam Jones emerged
yesterday morning aud carried off victori-
ously the coat which he had been sent to
fetch from 3o3 East Douglas avenue.
A German tailor uamed Schueiderman
made coat for l. Kaufman, tailor of
North Maih street. When the coat was
finished he wanted the pay for his work
but Kaufman would send no pay till
Schneiderman sent the coat. The latter
would send no coat till Kaufman sent the
money.
Heated and caustic grew the debate, and
Kaufman sought the mighty arm of
justice in the shape OF repieven suit and
Constable Sam Jones to obtain the coat.
They proceeded to the shop, the consta-
bic in perfect innocence of the hornets
nest that awaited him, and Mr.. Kaufman
indignant and furious and hot.
You had better be careful" said he to
the constable; "they are dangerous"
Vat you wants." said Schneiderman,
when they presented themselves.
"Mr. Kauffman's coat which you are
making"
81 gif you not dot coat till l gifts my
pay" aud, as ne spoke, he pointed to the
coat hanging near the door.
Sam made break for the coat, and
when he got his clutches Cd the garment,
he made for the door, but the old gent
was there before him and block the way.
while Mrs. Schneiderman made break
for Sam and got her clutches likewise on
the garment The constable pulled one way,
the old lady the other, while the old man
danced around the two like Choctaw
Indian in war dance and yelled like fury
''bolice! bolce." He then darted out of
the door in search of policeman.
''Zounds! blood!" was the next sound
1t came from the constable together with
several words which do not appear we'll iu
print And biff went the old lady across
the room and over the table. She had
sunk her front teeth into the coustable's
fore finger and proceeded to chaw it with
canibalistic APPETITE.
BY this time Schneiderman had return
ed with several men and perfect bedlam
began, during which Mr. Kaufman
solictous of his we'll being, could be heard
urging the constable, let's so! lets go. :"
This they did finally and We're followed
all the way 10 Justice Keeuan's court by

ment, heaping threats OF vengence and
