THE POLICE MACHINE.

Nothing more remarkable or interest
ing has followed the hunting down Of
police corruption in New York City than
the revelation Of how thoroughly the
force IL permeated with the principles
of bossism and boss machination. No
political leader OF a district is better
provided with "heelers" and watchers
than is the police pantata with per
sonal representatives" COLLECTORS" or
whatever they may be called publicly
or privately. The system of agencies
and sub-agencies is seemingly perfect.
The police machine Is constructed to
work without the slipping Of a cog, as
long as 1t Is left to the undisturbed
care of the original machinists.
A premonitory shaking up has been
administered to the system OF wheels
within wheels by the Lexow Committee
and Its counsel But the machine Ia
not broken yet. the blows have not yet
fallen where they will do the most good.
When that Committee resumes Its SEES
sion It will find from the record Of events
transpiring during Its recess that the
belts and cogs are still in place. and
that any shadow OF turning from the
earnestness and strength which marked
the earlier proceedings will be quickly
followed by a resumption at the works"
full or partial. as the encourag cement
may be greater or less.
The blows struck this Fall must be
such as to bring final results. They
must go straight and deep. The machine
must be not only shaken. but disrupted
And with it's falling apart will come
down some OF the main props OF the
higher bossism under which New York
has suffered too long.

A SURRENDER AND A VICTORY.

A Tariff bill has been passed. 1t Is not
a real Tariff Reform bill. though II will
do away with some OF the conspicuous
evils OF McKinleyism. It is not the bill
called for by the Democratic National
platform of 1892. II is not the bill which
the people expected when they cast
their votes on the strength OF the prom
ises contained In that platform. But, at
least. n long and trying period OF sus-
pense has been ended, and an unnatural
cause OF business depression has been
removed. II may be confidently ex-
pec:ed that an immediate revival Of the
country's commercial and industrial in
terests will follow.
The final passing of the bill was both
a surrender and victory. The House
OF Representatives receded from a posi-
ton In which 1t had the support OF the
people and the Administration. 1t
yielded to a force which was distinctly
arrayed against popular interests and
Democratic principles. But, In Yield
ing, the House undoubtedly spoiled a
conspiracy existing In the Senate,
through Vaccinations OF the Trusts, TO
prevent any tariff legislation whatever.
It was calculated that the bill had
been made SO Objectionable that the
House would not accept It. Then all the
Senate had to do was to remain obdu-
rate in conference until all attempts at
legislation should be abandoned. and
McKinleyism be left SIN triumphant.
This pretty scheme has been thwarted,
and in that fact and with what bene-
fits the new measure will undoubtedly
bring to the nations traders and work
ers. the people must for the time being
content themselves.

Curried Lobster.

Pick out the meat Of two red le
sters from the shells into a shallo\
saucepan. in the bottom of which has
been placed a thin slice of ham. with
a little cayenne pepper and a teaspoon
full of salt. Mix up half a cupful OF
white soup and half a cupful OF cream
and pour over the meat. Put 1t on ths
fire and let 1t simmer for about an
hour, add a dessertspoonful OF curry
and another of -four rubbed smooth IN
a little of the liquor taken out OF TINS
pot; in three minutes the curry VIII DC

lemon to this curry. and the cream can
be dispensed with II necessary. Put

mixture will become a very thick bat

covered, it will keep for weeks in a cold

onnalse on hand for the late breakfast
or unexpected homecoming OF the men

ham. bacon. fish or cold meat is rarely
out of place.

Cheap Gloves.

Cheap kid gloves are seldom any good.
Kid is as staple as wool; cheap wool.
as every Judge knows, is never all
wool, and seldom of good dye. and the
same is true of kid gloves. Only de-
fective skins are put in the common
stock; II they chance to be perfect
the dye is not fast. In Paris, the great
glove market of the world, a fine
article cannot be bought at retail under
81, that is for the two or three button
length; the same glove in America sells
at $3.50. There are serviceable goods
for much less money, but they are not
made of fine kid-prevaricators to the
contrary Notwithstanding. The cheap
est glove in New York now is the So
cent or Ss-cent goat, mousquetaire,
known as the shopping glove. 1t is not
kid, however. begging the saleswoman' S
pardon.

Custard Fritter.

A custard fritter is a very delicate
variety. Measure out cupful of milk,
add 1t to half cupful of -four, pouring
the milk over It very gradually to make
smooth batter. Then add a we'll
beaten egg, and cook the batter in a
double boiler for twenty minutes. At
the end of this time add two yolks of
eggs. a pinch of salt and a tablespoon
full Of sugar. Let the mixture boil up
over the stove for a minute or two
longer, beating it carefully to thor
oughly mix II. Pour 1t into a long,
creased pan of proper size, and spread it
to the depth of one inch. Let 1t become
thoroughly chilled. 1t is just as well to
stand over night. The next day cut it
in long pieces about two inches by
three; dip 1t in beaten egg, then in fine
bread crumbs, handling it very gently,
as 1t is soft. Fry 1t in hot fat until it is
golden brown, and serve at once.
These are delicious fritters when fla
vored with a very little bitter almonds
or some grated orange peel. They may
be made into an excellent. savory fritz
ter by emitting the sugar and adding a
tablespoonful of Parmesan cheese and a
pinch of cayenne pepper. Serve with a
little grated Parmesan cheese.
