TILE CINIL PROCEEDINGS.

The condemnation pronounced upon the two
State officials who had direct control Of the
canal Improvement by ex-Judge Countryman,
after long and laborious study Of the evil
dence taken by the Investigating Commission,
is positive and explicit. The Commission re-
port. though it frankly charged gross misuse
Of the appropriation was not except ny m
plcaton, severe toward particular individuals
Mr.. Countryman's findings are exactly respon-
s.ve 10 the Governors instructions. He was
directed to ascertain and report what. if any.
judicial action ought to follow the original III
yestigation, and his answer is that criminal
proceedings by Indictment ought 10 be brought
against Mr.. Aldridge. Superintendent of Pub
lie Works and Mr. Adams. State Engineer and
Surveyor. The Governor, for his part. has
called upon the Acknowledgement to lay the
matter before the Grand Jury at once, and has
asked the Governor-elect TO name lawyer
TO cooperate with Mr. Countryman in prose
cutting the action which the Attorney-General
is required 10 begin.
1t is TO be expected. therefore. that scandal
Of large dimensions which has already had
important political consequences and which
would have wellnigh monopolized public at
tcn1ion in this State throughout the year II
the war had not made all other interests sec
ondary. will now he sifted in the courts. Be
yond doubt that is the proper course. and
Governor Black who has had deep and en-
harrassing personal concern in the affair. IS
deserving of high credit for the lrm and
straightforward manner in which he has per
formed his duty He set the investigation on
foot he appointed an able and impartial Com
mission TO conduct IT. he employed Demo
cratic lawyer Of high character to ascertain
whether further action should be taken. and
he has not hesitaed to direct that criminal
proceedings should De begun forthwith in the
name of the state against two state officers.
one of whom Is his own appointee.
1t is asserted in behalf of Mr.. AldridCe and
Mr. Adams that they will he able to make n
good defence. or at least to show that they are
the victims Of bad system They will GER
tainly have every opportunity TO establish their
rcctitude and every rightmindod citizen must
hope that they will succeed in doing so. That
they can change the prevalent conviction that

business Of canal Improvement is inconccivable

POLICE POWERS.

II is n most interesting exhibition Of police
power that Captain Chapman is giving nj the
Eldridge-st. station just now. The condition OF
that precinct described recently by Mr.
Franklin Matthews was too bad for even
Devery's denals 10 cover up, and almost In the
same breath that they were saying that the
law was enforced and no part OF the town
wide open the police authorities were sending
Chapman to Eldrldgest with orders to clean
up the region which they had Indignantly de-
MED TO be dirty. Chapman has been following
instructions with his usual talent for the spec
tacular, and the principal work so far accom-
pshed by him IS to show Enthusiastically that
ordinary police excuses about the impossibility
of roofing out vice are utterly dishonest and
that where vice exists ii exists because Of
police toleratlon If not because OF actual police
protection.
Just how far Captain Chapman was JUST
fed in tearing down curtains and breaking
furniture In the disreputable cafes of his pre-
cnct may be an open question. He has ap-
parently used his powers 10 the full and deies
the proprietors. evidently knowing that they
dare not subject themselves TO judicial investl-
CATION by bringing any action against the po-
lice. The cafc-owners threaten 10 use their "po-
lltical pull against him. but Chapman knows
that they cannot harm him so long'as the au-
thorities really wish him to clean up the pre-
clnct. He can stretch police powers as far as
he Will ard invade the private rights OF law
breakers with impunlty II he Is working in har-
mony with his chiefs for the lawbreaker never
dares TO appeal 10 his legal rights but only
10 his political pull" The reserve power Of
the police in dealing with criminals, the abil-
,ty to drive them away from spot or break
nm their business at will. was never more per-
fectly Illustrated than by Chapman. Byrnes.
In keeping burglars out Of Wall-st. and in other
ways showed that the police had their hands
on the criminals, and while perhaps they could
not utterly extirpate crime could almost always
control IL. confine it within bounds and regu-
late the conditions OF its activity.

A REVELATION or "PTLLS."

Morris Rose, Tammany politician, once a
candidate for member OF Assembly in the
With District was in the Essex Market po-
lice court yesterday charged with keeping his
saloon open at forbidden hours. There is moth
ing surprising IN Roses keeping his saloon
open nj forbidden rours, tut the circumstances
OF his arrest are full of instruction as to the
methods of Tammany rule. Policeman Clar-
cnce of the Eldridge-st. station. who says ne
found the place wide open at 1870 o'clock yes
tcr,lay morning. testified that he warned Rose
two weeks AGO against running after hours.
hut that Rose trusted TO his pull and refused
10 heed the warning, and even when arrested
Yesterday defed the policeman to interfere with
him.
Vo,v the instructive feature Of this case Is
the faith In pull of an intelligent Tammany
noltician who had been honorcd with an As
scmbly nomination. a man of Roses expert
.rcn and affiliations does not believe in his
"puu' without some reason and even when he
makes a mistake and does not give due weight
70 the seriousness of sudden spasm of police
virtue the mistake does not discredit the solld
foundation Of his belief. If Rose thought it
safe TO disregard one warning 1t was because
he know that he had good pull which I'M
der ordinary conditions would work. It's 1all-
IRE 10 work MP to date-it may work III a DAY
or two all rght-in the present case Only serves
10 reveal the system under which Rose WIS
AZ other times permitted to break the law. IL
Is a confession that politicians find pulls Ell
fcctlve enough in dealing with the 1ammahy
city government even 10 lead 10 reposihg
mistaken trust in them now and then.
The sudden attempt of the police To clean up
q small district and ignore pulls there only
discovers the existence of pulls unmistak
zbIv. If Rose dared to run in spite OF warn
my. how many times before must he have been
mile 70 make terms with the police What sub
etontial contributions must he have made TO
thc Tammany treasury. If Rose had pull,
how many other lawbreakcrs have had access
70 police favor and protection.
