THE BROOKLYN CU1RIIIES CRAZE

The members Of the Senate cannot plead icnO
rance of the state Of public feeling in Brooklyn
as respects the attempt of Jacob Worth to grab
the Department Of Charities and Corrections
When the Assembly passed this measure our
neighbors across the Bridge had not fully real
grasped the exact nature Of the Worth scheme
But their eyes were speedily opened, and weighty
memorials have already been sent 10 the Senate
and 10 Governor Morton protesting against the
Worth grab More than that, many of the
clcrgymen Of Brooklyn have denounced the bill
in unmeasured terms from their pupts, and
called upon their people 10 write urgently TO
members Of the Senate asking them 10 vote
against the pending bill
The moral sentiment of Brooklyn is in revolt
against the plan for turning the Department Of
Charities over 10 the tender mcrccs of WORTH
and the people have wisely taken measures be-
the real nature Of the bill and the intense feeling
against it In the minds of all sobcrmndcd and
intelligent citizens. one OF the petitions sent To-
Albany is addressed To Governor Morton, and
bears the signatures OF nearly hundred
cergymen, including many Of the most proml-
nent and influential In the city. They declare
that 1.-THE purpose of the bill Is bad and vicious"

TIE DEMOCRATS HUNTING 4 POLICY


1t is a good thing that the Democrats Of Illinois
have decided 10 hold convention, for the eX-
press purpose of determining the position of the
party in that State on the money question. Prob
ably it has been imagined by Democrats else
where and some Of the Democrats in Illinois
assuredly imagined, that their position was de-
tcrmined by the National platform adopted by
the Democratic party in 1882. But i'll view OF
the elections which have been held since that
time, in Illinois well in other States, 1t Is
entirely natural that there should be some dis
position to inquire whether in fact, the party
has committed itself 10 any opinion whatever
Obviously, If it has, the party has contriyed to
select peculiarly unfortunate position.
There is also difficulty which the Democrats
Of Illinois may well consider, in view of the at
titude Of the President and the ma Oritv in Con-
gress officially representing the party in lcgisa-
ton 1t does not appear that the President and
the majority OF Democrats In Congress were ut
all agreed, nor can anybody find a decent excuse
for saving that either stood upon the Democratic
National platform Of 1892 President Cleveland
saw fit 10 disregard the platform in that respect
as contemptuously he did in many others
while the great majority Of Democrats in Con
gress treated it from the first as merely a dis
honest trick of phrases, with which ii was hoped
10 cheat voters IN some Of the Eastern States
The Democrats from the Western and Southern
States demanded free coinage OF silver and al
most every other financial lunacy which has been
proposed by the Populists and insisted that if
the platform of 1882 did not in terms commit
the party to these ideas, it was at least the in
tention Of the convention that the partA, if sue
cessfu in the election. should carry out those
ideas and thus justify the appeal made to voters
Of Populist opinions.
The results Of elections have by no means sup
ported those who imagined that this species Of
cunning device would for the Democratic
party the respect and support of American
voters Instead, the party has been overwhelm-
ingly defeated in the very States in which it was
supposed its attachment TO free silver and more
money would win it increased support. Nor can
1t be said that the results Of the elections cons-
tute a rebuke to the President only, because In

There can be no thorough reformation in the
administration of the public parks of this city
50 long as the chief executive officers Of the de

an insult 10 the members of the Board TO inSinu-

these men are allowed To- remain in authority to

for doing this they are paid with the money Of

whom they stand ready 10 bctray.

Never since peanut politics was first invented
has there been a more impressive exhibition Of
II than was to be seen yesterday In the meet
ing-room Of the Police Board when Commits
sloner Kerwin gravely proposed to investigate
the conduct of Mayor Strong in interfering with
a policeman engaged in the performance Of his
duty. AS Commissioner Andrews had been in
the Mayors company and was present at the
time, Kcrwin could have ascertained just what
took place without leaving his chair. But he
was supported in his assumed Indignation by
Murray and Martin and the Superintendent was
formally directed TO make an investigation. This
is richness. No sane man can now doubt that
the three holdovcr Commissioners are useless
excrescences on the Police Department.
