litical factor that 1t swerved suddenly,
without telling anybody anything about 1t.
from its old allegiance to the new and I'M
certain political party that had just begun
to poke pins into Tammany. For 1t was a
new party that dominated In New York in
1894. 1t was the party Of public decency
and public respect. Police departments are
not understood to be the controlling ele-
ments in Paris, Berlin or London. Is 1t
because they are not so corrupt as those
OF America? Or can 1t be that the foreign
systems of elections are SO much better
than those of this country that even bad
policemen cannot turn them to bad ways?
Bad policemen are menaces to any COM
munity, whether at election time or in
other seasons. In New York they were
especially dangerous to the good of the
community, because Of the great numbers
of ignorant and poor people that crowd the
tenement districts. The Sun can hardly
make a case against police reform by any
such variety of the cry Of wolf" Police
corruption and police domination at cleo
lions are by no means necessary evils. as
New York, under a judicious system OF
municipal rule, may learn. If these bad
men who handle clubs and sport badges
are such powerful elements in the casting
of the ballots they had better be all locked
up on election day. There is something
radically wrong with the election laws.

The Star as its readers know, Is no fiat
terer of President Cleveland. and IT mas
had occasion to criticise his public acts
quite as often as to praise them; but II
has no sympathy with the ribaldry and
billingsgate of the attack upon him In the
He use yesterday. Such coarse and point
less invective after the approved fish-wife
models is derosatory to the office OF chief
magistrate of the nation and belittling to
Congress. The existence of the facts upon
which an effective denunciation of Presi-
dent Cleveland as a tyrant and usurper,
encroaching upon the rights of Congress,
must rest, was merely irsinuated. not es-
tablished; and in place of the necessary
evidence Mr.. Sibley substituted vulgar
personal abuse 1t was unwise for him to
overcome his friends efforts to keep a
paddock upon his mouth if ribaldry instead
OF convincing facts was about to issue
from the unpadlocked orihce. President
Cleveland is undoubtedly an excessively
obstinate man. He is conscious of the
honesty of his Intentions, and feels no
duty-call to impose a check. in any case,
upon his natural courage and firmness.
These qualities, exaggerated with him
into obstfnacy, are found admirable when
his Judgment directs them in the proper
course and causes them to give energy
and impetus to a wise policy; and are
found correspondingly injurious when his
judgment is at fault and he is sent, through
them, on blind, answering rush in the
wrong direc ton. 1t thus happens that in
the remote and shadowy manner which is
alone possible in comparison between the
chief magistrate and humble heroine of
nursery rhyme, he resembles. as President,
the little girl with a curl. who, when she
was good was very, very good, and when
she was bad she was horrid." Mr.. Cleveland
will not be recorded in this countrys his
tory In accordance with Mr.. Siblcy's char
acterization, but will be recognized as a
President who, though too frequently
wrong headed and obstinate, has done good
service to the republic through sound juds-
ment and intelligent firmness in respect to
many important national issues and hon
esty in respect to all.

Those republican politicians of Pennsyl-
vania-members of a ring every whit as
Objectionable to honest citizens as was
the Tammany combination-who have hith-
erto regarded, and with good reason, the
municipality of Philadelphia as legitimate
plumber, are extremely uncomfortable just
now, for the decent citizens of that eX-
pensiv ely-misgoverned community seem to
have reached a conclusion adverse to the
combine that for years has fattened itself
by unremitting manipulation of the spells
system in its very worst FORM Today the
mayoralty convention of the republican
party is held, and it IS now certain that the
announced representative of the combine
has not secured the nomination that,
but a little while ago, was regarded as
safely within their grasp. For awhile the
ring seemed determined to push it's candi-
date to the front. but it finally concluded
rot to: 1t has been warned of the danger
of such a course The Philadelphia Public
Ledger and the Evening Telegram have
been boldly outspoken in the war they have
made on the combine The frst-named
journal said of the malodorous ring:
THE Combine Is not actively engaged il
politics for patriotic purposes, but for
revenue only, and the revenue which en-
riches them is fiiched from the taxpayers
pockets. In making nominations for City
Councils and Mayor they consider not the
citys interests. but their own. By pretend
ing to serve the public, they serve only
themselves"
1t backed up ITS aggressive statements
by incontrovertible evidence and assisted
materially in compelling what now ap-
pears to be the retirement of the combines
candidate.
The Telegraph, too, did its duty energet-
ically. warning the republican combine
that the limit of public patience had prob
ably been reached, and saying:
1.-THE republican organization might think
Itself strong enough at this time to execute
its imperious will: but 1T would be the grav-
those honestly Contending for the promotion
of the public welfare. And 1t should not be
forgotten that there might be a sad
awakening after the issue had once been
joined. There is no calculating the strength
of an aroused public opinion In these days.
There have been many object lessons on
this point which should not be overlooked"
Viewed from the political standpoint 1t
may seem better to compromise with the
reform element, but looking at the matter
from a much higher plane more lasting
reform would probably have been achieved
by letting the combines candidate go be-
fore the people and there receive such
lesson as was taught Tammany last No
vember. Anyhow, a great stride forward
has been taken. If New York and Phia-
delphia can be municipality cleansed there
is hope for every other r;ng-ridder city in
the country.

WOULD PULL HIS NOSE.

The Chief of Police Of San FRANCHISE
After che Defamer of His City.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-Chief-of-
Police Crowley vigorously denies the
assertion of Max O'Rell, that illegiti-
mate children born in Paris annually
were not more than one-third the
number of unnatural children born
every year in San Francisco. Chief
Crowley says this city is not half SO
immoral on the lines suggested as any
of the large manufacturing cities Of
the United States, England or tho
continent, where young girls and wo-
men are thrown in daily contact with
irresponsible males of their own age.
The chief does not know where M.
Blouet obtained his data, but pro-
nounces the conclusions false what
ever the source of his so-called statis-
tics.
"If we who have lived here all our
lives. and have to deal with crime and
the element of immortality" said Crow
ley, cannot form any accurate esti-
mate on the question of illegitimacy.
how could a stranger and a foreigner
acquire such data? This alleged
French humorist is a fiakir of the
rankest kind. 1t is an insult to COM
pare San Francisco to Paris, where the
marriage laws are looked upon by
most persons in the light of q useless
incumbrance. If O'Rell were here he
would get what he promises would be
the treatment of Mark Twoin were
the latter in Paris-his nose would be
pulled"

SERVED In TWO WARS.
Tho Grip Almost Won Where the
Bullet Failed.
Our sympathies Always Enlisted In the
InnrmIties of the Veteran.
tFrom the Herald, Wood.soes. Va,

There is an old soldier in Woodstock, Va,
who served In the war with Mexico aud in
the war of the rebellion, Mr.. Levi McInturff.
He passed through both these wars with
out serious wound. The hardships, how.
ever, told seriously on him, for when the
grip attacked him fom fears ago 1t nearly
killed him. Who can look on the infirmi-
ties of a veteran without q feeling of the
deepest sympathyi His townspeople saw
him confined TO his house 90 prostrated
with great nervousness that he could not
hold knife and fork at tho table, scarcely
able to walk too, and as he attempted It, he
often stumbled and fell They saw him
treated by the best talent to behad-but still
he suffered on for four years, and gave up
finally in despair. One day, however, ne
was struck by the account of a cure which
had been effected by the use Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. He Immediately ordered q
box and commenced taking them. He
says he was greatly relieved within three
days time. The blood found its way to his
fingers and his hands which had been pal
sled assumed natural color, and he was soon
enabled to use his knife and fork at tho
table. He has recovered his strength TO
such an extent that he Is able to chop wood,
shock corn and do his regular work about
his home. He now says he can not only
walk to Woodstock, but can walk across the
mountains. He is able to lift up fifty-two
pound weight with one hand and says he
does not know what Dr. Williams Pink
Pills have done for others, but knows that
they have done q great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court day,
and was loud in his praises of the medicine
that had given him so great relief. He pur-
chased another box and took 1t home with
him. Mr.. McInturf is willing to make
affidavit to these facts.
The proprietors of DIR. Williams Pink Pills
state that they are not patent medicine but
a prescription used for many years by an en-
inent practitioner who produced the most
wonderful results with them, curing all
forms of weakness arising from watery
condition of the blood or shattered nerves,
two fruitful causes Of almost every ill to
which flesh is heir. The pills are also q
specific for tho troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, all forms of weak.
ness, chronic constipation, bearing down
pains, ETC.. and in the case of men will give
speedy relief and effect permanent cure in
all cases arising from mental worry, over
work, or excesses of whatever nature. They
are entirely harmless and can be given TO
weak and sickly children with the greatest
good and without the slightest danger. Pink
Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent
