still more terrible disease. Scrofuls
Is the seed of consumption. It is SC
deep-seated and obstinate that no,

"THEREFORF."

The lawmakers at Albany are emerging into
candor as the session draws TO q close They
do not drop entirely the mask OF DISTINGUISHED
patriotism and devotion to the public veal be-
hind which they have been playing politics
these last few months, but they are getting
careless in the handling, occasionally letting IL
slip aside and once in a while deliberately
dropping II off entirely uncovering the familiar
grin and cynical sheer Of the professional poll
tician. What now could be more ingenuously
frank than the little speech by Asscmblyman
Oliver. Of this city on Wednesday, explaining
his vote for the Primary bill? The argument
in favor of the Primary bill, as presented In
the newspapers and IN most Of the speeches
that have been made on the subject IN the Leg
islature during the earlier stages Of the debate,
has been that it was in the interest OF public
morals, good government and honest admin
iStratlon; that It would cripple the power Of

But it was also supported by the Democrats
IN the Assembly and passed by a unanimous

the question would naturally arise in many
minds, What could be the inducement to such
action by Democrats on bin Of a political
character upon which division on party lines
would ordinarily be expected? Assemblyman

slider some OF the things 1t has done IL mas, IN

Of fraud in tho history OF civil government,
with an arch thief at its head whose name has
become a worldwide synonyme for corruption.
Through a long course OF years 1t has let n
great city which It absolutely controlled degen-
crate 80 far that immense expenditures during
an interregnum Of civilization could make 1t
only halfway decent and comfortable 1t has
kept the streets of that city uniformly filthy
and the death rate high. It has left tens OF
thousands of children to grow up ignorant and
vicious by refusing to build schoOlhouses 1t
has compounded with crime for the enrichment
of its managers and augmented that blackmall
by extorting from the outcasts Of society per-
centage Of the earnings Of infamy. To win and
keep the power to do these things 1t has
stolen elections, bought Legislatures and brlbed
Judges. 1t has steadily delighted 10 honor the
depraved and malignant. creatures whom its in

whose resources It has absorbed. And, finally
It has repeatedly sold out n community In des-
perate need OF rapid transit facilities to the cor
poration in whose securities its chief men have
been dlsastrously gambling during the last three
months.
"rammany Hall always does something
These are few of the things that It has done,
and Of this character are the things which 1t IS
irrevocably pledged by all It's instincts and pro-
clivlties TO do hereafter. Burning at this mo-
ment with its old lust for plumber, It longs TO
control the rapd-transit situation and fitch a
nasty revenue from stolen opportunity. And,
suddenly confronted with the omens Of defeat,
It has the unspeakable effrontery to defame a
body of honorable public servants and appeal
to its own rocking record. "Tammany Hall al
ways does something" In this demand 1t does
what others have often tried in vain to dot
