BOSS" CROKER.

| 1t must be admitted that the New York
campaign closes with the chances decided.
| ly in favor of the election of the Tam.
Van Wyck. The appear.
| ance of Henry George Jr. in his fathers
place has staid the movement of the
George forces toward Low, which was
| their natural destination with their own
candidate out of field, and has had a reas-
surfing effect upon the Tammany mana
gers, who were thown into something ap-
preaching panic by Georges death. II
is useless to review the causes that have
brought about what is likely to be fatal
division in the anti-Ta1nmany forces.
Who is chiefly TO blame for it, the Citi-
zens Union or the Republican organiza-
| ton, it is Improbable to inquire just
! now. The mischief has been done, and
it is too late to undo it. The cohesive
power of plumber seems likely to prove
far more potent than the cohesive power
of love for upright and business like
administration. Van Wyck, who will
be the Mayor if Tammany succeeds, is
but figure head, and the real potentate,
who will direct the affairs of g, Zoo, 900 of
people for their veal or woe will be Rich
ard Croker. 1t is therefore much more
to the point to inquire into the career of
Croker than of Van Wyck. Croker began
business in this country as a prize fight
er. Afterwards he went into politics and
became the head of what was known as
the Tunnel gang. In 1874 he was indicted
on charge of killing one McKon-
ma in an election row, and was tried on
the charge. The jury, however, disagreed,
for acquittal. Public ntiment was
against him at the time, AMI it was gem
orally believed that he wasaguilty. Some
years after. however, one of the gang
made q confession on his death bed in
which he said that he fired the shot that
killed Mckenna. Croker managed to get
himself elected to several important city
offices, but up to 1880 he claimed that he
was poor man, testifying to that effect
before the Fassett committee in that
year. Five years later he was able to
spend over 100000 in lump for horses
--A- -1AOAO SAAdl S~OO5NOO IOI % ISS-
idence in New York When he went to
Europe at the time the Lexow commit
tee was in session he was credited with
being worth $4,000, 900, and his operations
on English race tracks could not have
been carried ON unless he controlled large
sums of money. How he accumulated
his big fortune nobody seems to know,
though Henry George openly intimated
that if the method was known it would
land Croker in the penitentiary.
These are some of the salient features
in the career of the man who is likely to
be the virtual head of the city govern
ment of Greater New York, municipal
ity which will contain population of
nearly 100000, and property mounting
up into the billions.

There are many elections today but

In Ohio the interest centers in the legis.

that the present Republican governor
will be reelected. In Maryland also thu

a Republican if Republican. The cam

Gen. Blanco has arrived in Cuba to
suppress a rebellion which Martinez
Campos and Gen. Wyler have both failed
to put down. Blanco is authorized to ex-
tend nlolive branch in the shape of au-
tonomy of some sort, but if this is not
accepted, as it probably will not be, he
must appeal to the sword. AS a military
chieftain Blanco is probably neither the
equal of Campos or Weyler, and what
they failed to do with the sword there is
no reason to believe that he can do.

up to this inquiry,a indirectly, Is the in
creased commerce of the lakes, which has
required bigger vessels of greater
draught. Many dangerous shoals hitherto
unbound have been discovered by the
disagreeable and expensive process of
running upon them. The old ships went
over them in safety, but the new ones
strike them. AS fast as such dangers to
navigation are located they are plotted
on the government pilot charts, SO that
mariners may beware of them.
