FoR many years past democrat has

FoR many years past democrat has held the office of clerk of the Massaehu- setts house of representatives elected by a succession of republican bodies. He is good clerk, courteous and capable. A few republican members this year put out feelers as to the sentiment among mem- bers elect to put in the place of Clerk Me Laughlin republican official known to be equally efficient. The movement found no encouragement, and the democrat will retain the place. It is noticeable that the mugwump papers in their lashings of the men who favored a change find no time or room to comment on the broad non-partisan spirit of the majority who oppose the change. They do not even suggest that the case should offset any one which may be discovered in which a republican clerk is serving legislature having democratic majority.
 TIE LeXow committee has finished it's work. And such workI Startling as are the facts, unearthed by it's investiga- tions, they are but confirmation of what everybody has known, but few have dared to assert. Rev. Dr. Parkhurst first had courage to take tn tammany tiger by the throat. Little aid had he at first, even many of his fellows in the pulpit as- sailing him for dragging the priestly robes in the mud which he strove to have clean ed away. The police commissioners and the police system, rotten to the core, had the city under control. And the police department was but sample of every de- partment of the city government. Every thing was under blackmail, and the only thing really protected was crime. The law-abiding citizen who did not pay black mail tribute together with his taxes was the only one who was in danger of feeling the grip of the law upon him. The law breaker who paid his fee to swell the tribute exacted by courts, as we'll as by officials, was the only man safeIfrom per secutiOn. The man who complained to the police of "protected'' crime stood a very likely chance of getting a clubbing. And New York has endured this until the local authorities have gone beyond the limits of endurance. Good citizens have practically been disfranchised by a gang which controlled every election poll, and returned majorities as needed for their purpose. Honest people have been over- ridden by thieves and prostitutes, pro- tected by the persons under pay to sup press them. Criminals have sat upon the benches of the courts as magistrates, and murderers have held high positions in To-
