sHEEHIN's MAN, OR CRoKER's2
The Faithful in the Board of Aldermen
Confront a Divided Duty.

The first struggle between the Sheehan and
Croker forces in the Ninth Assembly district
will be over the election OF a successor to the
late Alderman Henry Siefke. Mr.. Sheehan said
yesterday that nasmuch as Mr.. Sickle had not
been buried yet. he did not think that it was
proper to take part in discussion as to his
successor. and that for this reason the General
Committee OF the district had not made any
selection. Mr.. Sheehan said that in spite OF the
fact that the faction led by Councilman Good
win and Thomas +. Smith would have a
candidate in the field. he believed that
the man nominated by the General Commits
tee. which is loyal to him. would be elected by
the board. Mr., sheehan pointed out that
it had been the custom for years in Tammany
Hall to have the successor to any dead Qfflce-
holder named by the party organization in the
district in which the vacancy occurred. He
does not think that precedent will be ignored
in the present case. and he intends to proceed
in the matter entirely as, though there were no
factiOnal differences in the district.
1t Is not expected that Mr.. GOohwins friends
will be able to overcome Mr. Shcehan in the
General Committee. and their hght will be
made in the Board Of Aldermen. The vacancy
is to be filed by a maIurltyvote Of 1.-THE MEM
bcrs elected to the body.

painter, who was found last Friday might at his

The Jury sustained the murder theory. the
evidence. it thought, pointing to tho probable
guilt OF John Adam. neiGhhOr Coroner Ban
ming held Adam without tail to await the ac-
t!un Of the Grand Jury.
The prisoner is, an old gardener who lives
near the scene Of the tragedy. Suspicion is
directed against him because of a quarrel he
had with the murdered mar several years ugo
when hey fought with pitchforkS Adam was
hurt the most. and he caused Branch to be
arrested on charge Of lelonious assault. The
trouble, 1t is said, took place while Adam was
trying to prevent Branch; who was intoxicated.

p During the first week of congress
more than $500 bills and resolutions
were introduced in the house alone.
Nine-tenths of these were introduced
in the last congress and never acted
upon, and the same fate is likely to
meet an equal percentage of them
again. The number Of bills introduced
in the senate is much smaller, not only
because of the smaller membership,
but because senators do not, as a rule
introduce SO many bills in which they
feel no personal interest, just to please
some constituent. -.4

make away from many the oppor-
tunity to labor and he at once be-
comes vicious and criminal. Invest
him with power to put forth his
strength in the production OF, wealth,
and he. is neither: vicious, criminal
nor an. object of character. The Aus
tralian penal colonies furnish the best
illustration of this fact. According to
all the laws of hereditary and associa-
ton the colonists should have contin-
ued in paths of crime, yet, as a matter
of fact, 90 per cent became at once
law abiding, self respecting citizens a
result due solely to the opportunities
presented in their new home for the
employment Of their labor power, un-
hampered by anything but the forces
of nature.
There is food here for the clergy.
Let them study our social and indust-
trial conditions if they would find the
cause of nine-tenths of all our crime
and. misery. The uncertainty of en-
p1oyment, the necessity of gaining an
others permission to earn living, ana
the certainty that that other will de-
manl and receive the largest share
of the wealth produced, are the means
by which our aims houses, prisons and
insane asylums are crowded, yet in
spite of this the men of the Cloth
form solid phalanx in support of the
system that produces these results.
The wonder is not that few, but any,
working men attend church. Read the
books on the economics and labor
questions and see the unamity
with which Christ and his teach
ings are held up as the ideal of
be striven for, and then see like un-
amity of contempt for the christian
ministry and none can escape the idea
that in the minds OF the workers
Christ and the church are separated by
an impassable gulf.

The house committee that is investi-
eating Roberts is holding daily ses-
sions and hopes to get it's report ready
in few days. 1t requires no gift of
prophecy to say that the report will
be adverse to Roberts, but the attempt
to say just what shape it will take.
which are being made, are simply
rguesses. The committee will conclude
the investigation before deciding the
scope of its report. Mr.. Roberts shows
very plainly by his talks before the
committee, that he doesn't expect to
get the seat, or. rather to keep it, if
allowed to be sworn in; also that he
is pretty shrewd lawyer, and well
posted in parliamentary practice.

has expended $102, 969,O90.33, of
which 81, ,0S6, ,469.s1 has gone for the
support Of the civil and miscellaneous

military expenses of one kind or an
other. The army got ss4,2o2.06; the

like out goes, while the total cost Of
the civil establishment was at the an
nual rate Of $126, 1898, 1856.
At the present time not quite eighty
per cent Of the expenses of carrying
on this peaceful country are on ac-
count of wars, past, present and anti.
cipated, but the ratio is nearer to 80
per cent than any other round figure.
Is there any country, free Of despotic,
which spends larger proportion Of
it's income on war? do not know be-
cause have not the opportunity to.
look up the statistics, but I should be
surprised, indeed, to find that any
country of high civilization, spends
four times as much on war and war
like preparations as on it's civil ex-
penses put together. It iSsdifficult to
comprehend that, with hardly real
ization of it by the people, we are. be-
