able Reprlsals designed to upset the results
of an election are seldom wise and often DAN

The plain. fundamental fact is that the people
who were led last fall into the support OF
treacherous combination to put Tammany
Mayor in Office. out Of antipathy to non-par-
tisan Republican and spite to the good citizens
who gave him 10000 votes are getting exactly
the sort Of government they contracted TOT.

who voted for Seth Low last November IL was
as certain then as it Is now that his defeat
meant a Tammany victory, and that Tam
many victory meant corruption. pillage and
stolen elections for four years. Nor Is the STU

REAPING WHAT THEY SOWED.

The worst verbal rubbish which has pro.
ceeded from any high public functionary in re-
cent times Is that which Mayor Van Wyck threw
IN the face Of the community last Saturday
when asked If he had anything to say about
the reorganization of the Police Board and
Devery's appointment in place of McCullagh.
'sTell the people" shouted the Mayor, that
"their servant, whom they elected last fall, has
'successfully resisted every attempt to raid the
"public treasury, and will continue to do so, I"
and that those who throw down the gauntlet
toshim will succeed only lover my dead body"
Concerning this and much more OF the same sort
from the same source. 1t is enough TO say that
Il the Mayor has kept Tammany from raiding
the public treasury during the brief period since
It returned to power the occasion did not arise
any sooner than 1t was expected to, and that
municipal official who, not satisfied with prom
ising to do his utmost while living. awards
contingent honors to his corpse. acts like an
ass
It would have been wise to leave the Mayor
q monopoly of this kind Of folly. but some or
the Republican machine men who now find that
they have got the worst of a corrupt bargain
to put Tammany in power and divide the profits,
are themselves rather wild In their talk Of re-
vengc. II Is ABSURD, TOT example, 10 expenu SO
much time and strength in declaring that a
Police Board Of three members is not a legally
constituted Board and that its action In dis
missing McCullagh and appointing Devery is
null and void If that is true. as we are in
clined to think 1t is the defect can be readily
cured so soon as the Mayor has found a man
to take the place of Philips Nor is there any
apparent advantage in trying to prove that
Devery was not eligible for the original ap-
pointment Of Deputy Chief. The charter seems
to show that be was not, but that does not
invalidate bis promotion to the place of Chief,
to which, after the first appointment, cap
tains as well as inspectors and deputy chiefs
are eligible AS for the eager proposal that
Governor Black shall remove the Mayor after q
hearing Of charges against him, meantime sus-
pending him for thirty days. 1t Is Just as we'll
to remember that while such charges can be
readily framed and Executive action upon them
IL not difficult. the courts have the final say,
and that, as experience shows. it is considerably
easier to turn a man out Of office than TO keep
him out. Nor Is there much sense In the talk
about an extra session Of the Legislature called
for the purpose Of amending the charter and
cutting the Tigers claws Even II the Gov

They struck with more than mortal powers,
TIL Spain herself could strike no mora
And down the wind we drfted far,
And TO tho shore our hulks wero blown;
The sea thick with mast and spar.
And Spain was shaken from her thrones:
And louder than the whirring brine,
And louder than the lannon's roar,

Now may St. James defend us still,
And may the cavaliers Of Spain
Ball on and conquer whom they will.
And teach me that my dream was vain.
