EVILS THAT NEVER COME.

AT every stage of events in the Phil
ippiD's6 prophets of the dismal order
present the dark side of the situa-
ton. They never seem to be discour-
aged by tkla collapse of their predic-

fairs cleared up favorabiy than a fresh
chapter of 6ismalism is opened. Three

tunes in the Philippines were estimated

INVESTIGATING NEW YORK.

/
A committee of the New York legis-
lature is investigating affairs in New
York city. The first day The commit
tee struck several leads that may
prove a source Of eLi. ertair' ng reading.
Almost the first thing done was to
bring out the connection of the Croker
family and the city administration, and
Croker, his wife, his son and his
nephew all appeared in connection with
certain transactions, ard it already be-
gins to look as if the investigation
would resolve itself into scrutiny of
the affairs of the Croker family.
OF course that is the way to get ut
the facts. There is no question what
ever that Croker is the administrative
power of the great city and those who
hold the offices are but puppets worked
by strings in the hands of the boss
According 10 the brief speech of expla-
nation made by Counsel Moss every
possible effort will be made to get at
the facts, and promises Of secrecy have
been made to any citizen wh2l is in
position to offer suggestions in the way
of lines of examination to be followed.
The Lexow committee several years
ago cleared the political air so thor
oughiy that Tammany hall was driven
out of office for a few years, and now,
after its return to power-within fiji
teen months-it has become necessary
to insert the legislative probe again.
Probably the results Of the investiga-
tion now begun will impress Upon the
people of New York the wisdom of
again uniting as they did when Strong
was elected mayor.
At the election in 1897 the opponents
CT Tamnany hall were divided, as a re-
suit CT the independents seeking to de
stroy the republican organization, and
the result was Van Wyck Tracy, the
republican candidate, received 101 S63
votes, while Low, the candidate of the
Citizens union, received 151, $40 votes,
a total OF 253, 546, while Van Wyck only
233, 1897 votes. The opponents
of Tammany therefore numbered 49,
406 more than the forces of Tammauy.
The people of New York have regret
ted that mistake ever since Van Wyck
was elected. AS soon as he took
charge the effects of the reform admin
istration of Strong began to disappear,
and there has been nothing but scandal
ever since. To search cut the truth as
to the real conditions will be the aim
Of the present committee, and possibly
the next election viii find the people
ready to try real reform again.
