On Tuesday last Mrs. Lille R. Par
dee gave to an audience which filed
the room, what she termed talk -
but, by reason of her mastery of the
subject both in its thought and deliv-
cry, it deserved the more dignified title
of lecture.
The treatment of the subject, New
York City. It's Municipal Corruption
and the Fight With Tammany," was
not partisan. Various causes were as
signed for the corruption Of New York
City, among them weakness of human
nature. the peculiar temptation of large
cities, including the dangers from the
evolution of the professional politician,
from unrestricted immigration and
from the city's situation and CONNER
cial Importance. After brief contrast
of conditions of municipal government
in ENGLAND and the United States, the
origin, growth and methods of Tam
many hall were sketched, particular
attention being given to the Croker
conspiracy, the tight waged by DIR.
Parkhurst being given in detail. The
part taken by women in bringing about
the Better New York" was described
and in conclusion, some lessons drawn
for application in our own city where
already there are hints of corruption.
