MISSIONARY CROKER.
He Will He Unhampered In Doing Goo
For Greater New York.

For Greater New York.
A victor never lacks eulogists. Sue
cess blinds the eye of criticism, gives
voice to the promptings of what we are
told is larger charity. Hence it is
not surprising that supposedly sane men
are now to be found writing panegyr-
les ON Richard Croker and extolling
the value of the tiger as domestic ami
NAL Croker, we we now told, is con-
sumed with a desire to do good to the
people of New York. The Tammany
tiger is only a superior sort of watch
come on guard for the protection of the
city treasury from plundering officials,
rapacious contractors, boodling alder
men. Injustice is claimed to have been
done the boss" by attributing to him
the vices of the corrupt gang with
whom he has oftenest been seen in COM
pany. He was only among them in the
capacity of Il missionary. Had they
walked by his monitions they would
have trodden the paths Of angels. Now
he has put III power as mayor of our
greatest city "a man whom he knows he
can control " He knows this so we'll
that he publicly announced the fact be-
fore the election.
So Mr.. Croker will no longer be ham,
pered in carrying out his missionary
plans for his municipality by having to
deal with intractable material. PLANT
Van Wyck will register every edict of
Philanthropist Croker as soon as utter
ed. 1t will be as swiftly executed as the
commands of Prospero. Every placeman
and policeman will be transformed into
a metropolitan Puck, who'll put a CIR
die round Manhattan and all the boo
die thereof, if need be, in 40 minutes,
that none but a Tammany saint may
rejoice therein.
Some of the higher critics" have
been able to discover supreme virtue in
Judas; Nero has always had his admir-
ers and defenders; Titus Oates was able
to retain such devoted following, even
to the last, that, despite his shocking
crimes, it was judged impolitic TO put
him to death, and William of Orange
actually granted him pension Boss
Tweed is even now mourned as mar
tyr, and it may be that Croker will JUS
tify Mr.. Nathan Straus' statement that
There is no man" among all with
whom Straus has come in contact,
"more anxious to do right or who has
q more exalted idea Of we'll doing to his
fellow man. " But yet we may be per-
mitted to place this panegyrio beside
the reports of the scenes which took
place in New York when the triumph
of Croker was announced and when a
vast orgy ensued, thousands of drunken
men and painted women uniting in the
bacchanalian chorus. well, we'll, we'll,
reform has gone to hell" If the singers
voiced the truth, where stands Richard
Croker?-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

take early steps to such an end that in
addition to securing the home market
