BULLETS IN PLACE OF BALLOTS.

Machine rule and bossism reached a
sort OF climax In Senator Murphy's polit-
ical satrapy at Troy yesterday during
the local election. A hot contest was ex-
pected, the real fight being between
Francis Molloy. Boss Murphy's candl-
date for Mayor. and Dennis whelan.
anti-Murphy Democrat. indorsed by the
most respectable wing OF the Republican
party.
An attempt was made before the cleo
tion to secure bi-pa -tIsan election boards
in the county, but Gov. Flower vetoed
the bill. A. tho machine seemed deter
mined to win either by votes or vio-
lence. II Is questionable whether the
proposed law would have had any effect.
The election was by bullets rather
than by ballots. One man. a Republican.
was'shot dead and three others wounded,
one probably fatally.
This IL a new feature OF machine rule,
and implies that the battle OF bossism
Is TO be fought out with revoivers rather
than. votes.
Boss Murphy's candidate for Mayor.
Molloy, n reported elected by a plurality
OF about 1000. But II the stories Of lille
gal voting and repeating told by the de-
feated party are true there may be
business for a Grand Jury In Rensselae r
County. The work Of punishing election
frauds should not be abandoned.

FOR MORE PARKS.

It Is proposed L, provide two new parks
f1f that portion Of the city known as
Washington Heights. One has already
oeen authorized by q bill approved by
the Governor. The other Is now he
fore the Legislature for action.
Some property-owners whose holdings
will be affected by the second park pro-
test against 1t al unnecessary. and one
Of them %dsnounces II as "a Tammany
job to make places for a few favorltes.''
1t is possible that the second park
may be sup.rfiuuus But In 10 difficult
make the people believe that we can
rave too many breathing places In the
new portions Of the city. The nelghbor-
hood Interested will In the course OF
time be crowded like the lower parts Of
the city. and. when 1t is too late, the
want OF parks may be regretted, as II
IL to-day In other localities. 1t Is
true economy to purchase the land for
such desirable improvements while prop.
erty In cheap.
The cry raised about Tammany Jobs
on such occasions 10 ridiculous. 1t as
humes that Tammany In always to hold
control OF the city government, and Just
at present that does not seem an indis-
putable proposition. 1t will be some
years before Fat places" can be carved
out OF public parks Just designed, and
IL the city Ii not by that time under
good, efficient, honest government,
whether OF Tammany or any other Or
ganization. 1t will be OF very little use
to lay out parks or to plan any other
great public improvements.

THE PRINCESS OF TREBrzoNDn..

respect. II seems irreverent to tnmper
