TIE DEATH OF MAYNA RID.

The career OF the late ex-Judge ISAAC
II. MAYNARD of New ork, who died
suddenly at the Kenmore Hotel in Albany
yesterday afternoon, illustrates in a
signal and significant way the disastrous
consequence Of single corrupt end vici
Gus action. MAYNARD was man Of
ability far above the ordinary. AS a
lawyer he enjoyed high reputation and
good practice. He rendered efficient
public service in both State and Federal
offices, ana never was there raised a
question as TO his integrity, honesty or
official trustworthiness until later, when
he irreparsbly besmirched his character
and rendered himself notorious and in
famous in the sight OF right thinking
men by consenting TO purloin from the
office OF Secretary of State, official election
returns for the purpose OF ultimately in
suring the election OF DAVID BENNETT

BY that act MAYNARD made himself
liable to the punishment prescribed for
those who offend against the postal law;
but the law was not invoked. Political
pull, though It saved him from prosecu-
tiop as common criminal, could not
prevent the just indignation OF an
aroused. angry and outraged people from
making itself felt, ana that too, In a way
quite as effective as any chastissment the
penal code could have inflicted. In pay
ment for his sacrifice OF honor, character
and good name he was nominated for

The Henley Regatta.

Henley Is the foremost amateur rowing
regatta in the world. 1t was established
in 1889 by the citizens of Henley con-
tributing 100 guineas for the purchase OF
a trophy, which became the grand chal-
lenge cup, to be raced for annually by
eight -oared crews. subsequently other
trophies were added: In '42, Stewards
challenge cup for fours; diamond chal-
lenge sculls in IA; silver goblets for pair
oars in '45, also ladies' challenge plate for
eight -oared crews; in '47. visitors chal-
lenge cup for fours; in '55, Wyfold chal-
lenge cup for fours; in '6S, Thames
challenge cup for eights. OF these, all
are open to the world except the ladies'
plate, to which only English Varsity,
eligible. The visitors cup Is open only
to college and school crews.
The Henley course is one mile and 800
yards long, and the races are rowed up
stream. Leandcr Club holds the record
for the fastest time made-6m., 5ls !;
Trinity (Cam bridge) did 6:53 In 'S6, and
6:56 in 'S7. In 1913 the challenge cup was
won in 7:45; '94, in 1922; 'g5, in 1880.
Cornell rowed the course several times in
7:10 in practice, and once in 7:04.
But two foreign crews bave ever carried
off any one of these cups-our own

The Cretans aud Greece.

The Cretans have 'sbougnt cheesen this
time-that Is, they. have raised in some
districts the standard OF rebellion against
their Turkish oppressors. They had IN
tended to do that on several occasions
since the sublime porte had refused to
carry out the reforms promised by the
Halepa Convention OF 1878, but they were
dissuaded from il by the advice of their
leaders exiled at Athens, where they had
formed permanent junta or committee
at whose head was the famous Hadji
Mikali. Whenever this clever leader
heard that an insurrectionary movement
was being concocted in his native island
which probably would not have the ac-
tive support OF Greece, he sent 10 his
countrymen, through the suspected Tur-
kish post -office at Canea, that mysterious
advice, "Do not buy any cheese yet. +"
This time the Cretans seem to have cared
little whether or not Greece would sup
port them, and they have begun the light
for their autonomy or tho!c reunion ia

country. The Island contains abOut 600,

CLAIM MUST BE PAID.

1t is understood that since the license
commissioners presented their claim,
amounting to sls26, for reimbursement
for expenses incurred in the re-
cent farcical investigation, there has
been displayed on the part OF the Goo
Goo element in tho City Council a dis
position to refuse payment. The mat
ter is at present in the hands OF the JOINT
committee on claims and what report
will be made upon It Is, and will remain
until it is made, rroblematic.
whstever action may be taken by either
the committee or by the Council
however, Will not. we feel assured, pre-
vent ultimate payment. The claim is a
just one and being such must be settled.
Doubtless the necessity for liquidating it
Will cause some squirming on the part
of the Goo Coos, but that cannot be
helped. They virtually forced the licanse
commissioners to incur the expense by
requiring them TO defend themselves
against charges at once outrageous and
unfo unded.
Common sense and little regard for
justice and decency should make 1t clear
to the Goo Coos that by refusing settle
ment of this claim they will only empha-
size their own pettiness and incompet-
ency.
1t would be a pretty condition o
affairs, indeed. IL public servants who
are wantonly assailed, and whose official
characters are called into question
should, when they have secured a COM
plete vindication from an unfriendly
tribunal, be compelled to bear the
burden of defending themselves. Under
such conditions no public servant would
the envious or the designing. With a
Goo Goo govern ment in power and ready
to order an investigation at the request OF
every ward-heeler, or worse, who cares
to make charge, there Is not an officer
OF the city who would not be bankrupted
in year in defending his good name and
official probity.
Happily, there is no danger OF such an
unjust imposition on officials who are
recklessly and gratuitously attacked, for
there is law enough in Rhode Island even
IL there is not justice and decency enough
in the Goo Goo Council to insure pay
mont OF such accounts as that presented
by the license commissioners.
