Mr.. Croker and the judiciary.

Richard Croker would allow no mention
made at-Syracuse of the Chicago platform,
but he is acting in the spirit of it with
promputude in his management of his
partys affairs in New York.
Free silver, it is we'll to remember, was
not the only plank in the Chicago platform
which gave conservative men shiver. The
blow aimed at the federal judiciary created
something of a sensation The proposition
that life tenure for judges was undesirable,
and that the Supreme Court ought to be re-
organized and in future kept within the
reach of popular control caused very
large number of people to wonder at the
power which could force such Il doctrine
into such deiiverance. 1t was resented,
indeed even more than the silver plank,
striking directly at the most sacred and
delicate of the American Institutions. 1t
was seen at a glance that the real effect
was to make, if possible, the judges sub
servient to the politicians, and convert the
bench into asset for the party bosses.
1t is on this line that Mr.. Croker now Is
moving.
One of the judges of the supreme court of
New York is Joseph F. Daily. He is
eminent man. both as judge and citizen, and
has served on the bench for twenty-eight
years. He enjoys the admiration and re-
spect OF both parties. He is democrat.
When il became known that he would ac-
cept another term on the bench the men,
bers of the bar, without regard to parties,
waited upon the political leaders of both
parties and asked for his denomination in
the interests of all the people The repub-
licans promptly acceded to the request, and
nave placed :he name of Judge DAILY on
their ticket. Mr.. Croker, for the democ-
racy. promptly vetoed the request and
has put another man in nomination. Ii
Judge Daily is reelected, therefore it must
be by republican votes and such democrats
as refuse to bow the knee to Mr. Croker ill
a matter of this kind
Mr.. Croker withheld his favor because
Judge DAILY refused to make a court ap-
pointment at his, Croker's. request And
that is the spirit and real meaning of the
Chicago platform. The federal judiciary
reoTganized according TO that prescription
would become ether The TOOL of party bosses
or the victim of their resentment and ca
price For all his shuffltng in convention.
Mr. Croker is very faithful all-round sub
scriber TO the Chicago platform, as this
transaction shows.

Hawai- and Porto Rico.

From the Pacific Commercial Advertiser Oionoluluy.
There is something startling in comparing
the prosperity of Porto Rice and Hawaii
Porto Rico has 1868 square miles, with Il
population of S1393I, of which about 500 900
are negroes. Hawaii has u, 131 square mics
with a population of 10000 The .otdl i'm
ports OF Porto Rico for the year 1898 were
SIG ,155, ,Oj6, against Hawaiian importa-
ttuns of Sl.tSi, ,G2S for the year 1897. Thar
is, the average of inportations, per head
in Porto Rico, was about $40. while the
average pe:' head in Hawaii was about so
While the eXI orts of Porto Rico i'll 1895
were valued at $l4 G2.j, 494, making an aver
age of about SlS per head, the exports Of
Hawaii in 1897 reached S1G62I ,175, or about
$40 per head of population.
Porto Rice is called prosperous country
Taking the imports and exports as a basis
OF prosperity, and comparing them with
those of the United Sta tes, there is a much
larger income per head in Porto Rico than
in the United States. Exports alone DO not
however, determine the amount of a ra-
lons income or wealth, but they enter
largely into the computation.
If the amount of the exports fix the IN

picious, antagonistic witness who question

the sincerity of their purpose to learn the
truth.
This episode throws some light on the diff
ficulty which is being experienced in the
inquiry in securing reliable data for def

charges in the air. Many officers and civil
ians are asserting that the campaign was
conducted with sloth, carelessness, indis

of the army. But generalizingi from DR..
Scaman's case 1t is apparently impossible

other member OF any military service in the
world. Col Haywood's annual report as
cOmmandant Of the Marine Corps, printed
today. relates the facts OF the campaign
which have served to this end. The work
of the marines at Guantanamo was mag
