GEN. TRACY.

1t seems to be well understood on all
hands that Gen. Tracy cannot be elected
mayor of New York, and the proba-
bilities are strong that he will receive the
indgnity of being the lowest candidate
in the vote of the city. He is likely to
lose more than this as the effect of his
candidacy. The general belief at the
outset of the campaign was that Plat
could induce no man of higher standing
than Quigg or Lauterbach to be his can
didate. The Herald conceded in this
view, and gave it expires sion. There
was corresponding surprise when Gen.
Tracy agreed to take this place. a
damaging reason for his complacency TO
Plat has since been made to appear.
Gen. Tracy is in a law partnership with
Platt's son, and it is further developed
that the firm has had very large income
from business transacted in connection
with the New York legislature, which it
is notorious that Plat the elder has con-
trOlled. This has put Tracy under an
obligation TO Blatt, when there is all too
much indication he is taking his present
method to discharge. The personal con-
nectiOn of the two men made Gen.
Tracy's acceptance of Platts candidacy
questionable proceeding in itself, but
when it is shown further that this has
been made the means of providing a
heavy pecuniary income to Gen. Tracy S
the transaction of Plat with an unknown
party should take this form, it would be
considered clearly reproach to those
engaged in it. The previous high char
acter of Gen. Tracy is not sufficient to
shield him from adverse comment in thi:

Kidney Trouble Cured.
An Ohio Chemist Discovers a
Remedy That Promises to End
Terror of Bright'S Disease.

Since DR.. Richard Bright first described
Brights disease in 1897, the medical world
has given more and more attention to the
study of the kidneys rs source of disease
and have demonstrated peyond doubt that
they are the direct cause of many of the ills
of mankind.
Nineteenth century methods of living are
well calculated to change the functions of
these delicate organs and few men toCay can
be absolutely certain that their kidneys are
in "A perfectly normal condition. a tinge of
pain in the back is classed under that broad
title of "cold," while the dull ache that
creeps through the bones is blamed on the
weather or allowed to pass unheeded. This
in reality, is natures way of sounding the
first warning that something is going wrong
with tn internal mechanism and wise in
deed is the man who needs it.
Physicians have long been in dispute as to
the best means of treating diseases of the
kidneys. The best theories being so often
upset by dire failure that ii seemed almost
rs though an lniallibe remedy would never
be discovered.
Among the most earnest workers in this
field has been John Morrow, an eminent
chemist of Springfield, Ohio, whose expert
ence of nineteen Years gave him ample op-
pOrtunitY for studying kidney trouble in all
its phases. The result of his research is a
new combination of remedies which he has
prepare IN yellow IL ct form, under the
name ct kidneOids While almost entirely
new to the medical world Morrow's Kidneoids
have produced such marvellous results that
there seems little reason for doubling that he
has discovered the remedy so long sought
for by eminent physicians and that time worn
ing the kidneys will soon be obsolete.
In our last issue we ammo need that one of
the largest dug concerns in the United
states wa negotiating for the control of
Morrow's kidneoids. We are now informed
by the discoverer of this most peculiar
remedy that the Herb Medicine Co, of Spring

the many firms who were endeavoring to
secure the sole right to manufacture and
sell Morrow's Kidneoids in the United States.

THE SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
TWO DISTINCT TYPES.

Ogden Goelet died, leaving one of
the largest fortunes of this generation
to his wife and two children. 1t has
been estimated to be as large as S5O,OOO,-
600, but the widow in her petition for
proving the will, places the value of the
real estate at cover $5,000,000' and of
the personal property at "over 800, OOO."
The Springfield Republican, describing
the conditions under which this wealth
was amassed, says "that this great prop
erty might have been accumulated under
conditions which justified its being held,
partially at least in trust, for the general
good is probably an idea which was never
entertained by him"
The devotion of such an amount of
money to the enjoyment of three people
is indeed a selfish act. The Goelets for
several generations have never known
what work is. They have not even had
the worries that mllionaircs often have
about the success of their investments.
Their Income was obtained by prudent

now one of the most valuable sections of
New York. The principal has grown
year after year, and with the interest has
come luxurious homes, steam yachts, fine
Jewels, and all that wealth can bring.
The testator provides that the allowance
for the support of his children during
! their minority shall be suitable to their
station in life" If they follow their
fathers example, the world will never be
the happier because the GOelets are in it

CORPORATIONS PROTECTED BY PLATr

CORPORATIONS PROTECTED BY PLATT.
The following fact which has recently
come to our knowledge may serve to
open the eyes of those Republicans who
are honestly supporting Gen. Tracy in
the present municipal campangn. a
law firm of the highest standing in this
city, which had a wealthy corporation
among its clients, was notified not long
since that the said corporation found it
eXpedient to transfer its law business to
the firm of Tracy. Boardman & Platt.
While giving this notice to its former
counsel, the officer or officers of the
corporation said that they were and al
ways had been entirely satisfied with
the manner in which their law business
had been conducted, and that the change
was made simply and solely because if
they should have any trouble in the
Legislature they would be protected by
Mr.. r. C. Plat.
This we know to be a fact, and we ask
turn it over in their minds and see how
it fits into the present posture of affairs,
municipal and judicial. That law firm
should be sand-bagged and deprived of
the business built up by long course OF
reputable practice because another law
firm has political pull is abhOrrent to
every principle of decent government
Its only parallel is to be found in
Turkey.
But what does it signify to the public
at large? 1t means the subordination OF
common Justice to the behests of a
political boss, and pro tanto the under.
mining of free institutions. If this cor,
poratiOn can get protection in the legis
lature by retaining Tracy, Boardman &
Plat, it can get more than protection
more than Justice. The measure of it:
treatment at the hands of the legisla
will be the private arrangement made
between itself and Il. C. Plat, and it;
pay for this service will be given tC
Tracy, Boardman & Plat, in whole oil
in part.
Whether any follower or supporter OF
Mr.. Plat, or of Tracy, Boardman &
Plat, will have the hardhood to deny
the foregoing statement of fact we shall
be interested to learn.-New Yorl
