ESTIMATES OF BOSS CROKER

LONDON, November 3-The elections in
the United States continue to overshadow
all the other news in the English news
papers, and the results discussed gen.
orally at the hotels, clubs and similar
places, as well as on the trains horse cars
and omnibuses.
The Sun of this city, of which newspaper
Harry Marks has editorial control, says:
The dog returned to his vomit' is the
text we recommend pious New York to
hang on parlor walls. The chief city of a
great people must see it's municipal offices
filled with men who should be filling cells
| in the penitentiary. New York has fallen
like rotten fruit into the hands of the
| boodlers; but the New Workers may con-
sole themselves with saying that every
city. every land, has the government it
deserves"
Evening News Comment.
The Evening News remarks: Croker has
brought off his tip and has won the race
showing that he is more to be feared in his
natural arena of politics than on the race
| course. The population of the second great
est city in the world has elected its ruler,
| and the morning after election the prob
lens occupying his mind did not relate to
the government of the city, but to squaring
and rewardng his supporters. The expert
ment OF democracy, as seen in full growth
in New York. seems to have its draw
backs, as we'll as its advantages
America Needs "A Mobility
The ST. James Gazette thinks: reason
Americans allow themselves to be domi-
mated by clique, whose leading members
would on this side of the Atlantic sooner
or later find themselves in the criminal
dock Is that american politicians indulge
IN politics solely for what they can make
out OF them, and until America finds time

10 public affairs as here without expecta-
ton of pecuniary reward, Tammanv will
continue IT'S victories in New York.
Globe Scores Tammany.
The Globe says: when the fortunes of
.he wigwam are in the ascendant, shame
less corruption rules supreme. Judge and
Police alike owe secret allegiance to an
authority with far greater powers of MAX
ing or marring their fortunes than the gov
eminent of the United States"
Stretching the history of the Tammany
Society, the Globe adds: when Croker he
came boss 1t had regained much of its lost
influence. Croker is perhaps the most NOT
able Tammany product of our time
splendid organizer and an indomita bic
worker, he possesses to marked degree
the taciturnity and aloofness which made
farnell so successful a leader. Steering
clear OF the personal venalities of Tweed
Croker has revived the other traditions
OF that worthy regime, and has made Tam
many once more a political engine Of the

commenting on the allegation that tn.

As Mr.. Aston Sees It,
The Fan Mall Gazette also refers to the
municipal election of Greater New York,
saying; such an organization as Tam

to Greater New York, we cannot congrat-
ulate its citizens upon the manner in which

achievement of such desirable result"
Tie Westminster Gazette, in its COM
nents on the same subject, remarks: THE
victory for unprincipled government OBJ
tanned by unprincipled methods is a grave
disappointment to all believing in free in
stitutions, and the only thing to do is to
wish that Seth Low and his supporters will
be luckier in the next campaign against a
system which seems to outsiders to be alb
solutely intolerable.''
