PLAN AND SCOPE REPORT WEDNESDAY.
THE FIFTEEN MAY TAKE UP BLACKMAII,
FOR SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.

FOR SPECIAL PRIVILEGES
The Committee of Fifteen held no rneatirs vas
terday' but its Subcommittee on Plan ana scope
had conference. and made some progress in the
preparation OF a report which is to be laid before
At that meeting II is expected that all the mem
bers OF the committee will be present ana the com
mittee will be able to its future policy in
the crusade against vice In the city.
One field Of inquiry which the committee IS said
TO be considering is the collection Of blackmau by
city employees. The discovery Of Park Commits
sioner Clausen that the vendors about the WILL
am II. Seward Park have been obliged 10 pay
tribute 10 policemen and TO employees of the Park
Department is said TO be no new one Informa-
uon has come 10 the committee that city employees
collect sums or money from many persons who are
allowed 10 have special privileges. Money is coll
leeted for sidewalk privileges from bootblacks,
nower vendors and newsdealers. There are special
privileges In several Of the parks and public build
ings for which certain city officials said 20 get
regular revenue. There are bootblack stands In
several public buildings. 1t has been suggested
that the committee should have some person make
application TO Mayor Van Wyck for a permit to
keep stand on the steps of the City Hall, and If
the Mayor becomes angry at such a suggestion
have his attention called to the stands which are
allowed in other public buildings.
Two inspectors of the Park Department yester-
day appeared at the William H Seward Park and
drove away all the vendors who had been using
the sidewalks surrounding the park Many of the
park fence overnight, and they were compelled TO
remove the carts. The inspectors served notice
fish houses he has been maintaining in the park.
The houses were kept closed yesterday.

CLIFFORD WOULD FILL THE BILL

To the Editor of The Tribune:
Sir; Seeing that Captain James d. Clifford Is on
your list a possible candidate for Mayor next
year, wish TO inelose my vote for this man. as I
believe him TO be a worthy and strong candidaue
for the place Captain Clifford although not hold
ing a public Office outside of the Fire Department
would give the people clean and as efficient an
administration has ever been given to the people
OF greater New-York. He would serve the city in
dependent Of both parties and would, indeed be
the peoples Mayor. and not the Mayor of any pO-

WOULD BE PROUD TO VOTE FOR CRANE.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir herewith incIose my ballot in favor OF
Judge Leroy B. Crane for Mayor He possesses In
my opinion all the elements OF manhood, OF inteni-
gence. Of independence and Of experience to ht him
for that office. Whoever has watched his career
on the City Magistrates bench must be impressed
with the fact that In him combined irmness OF
character, disposition to punish the wrongdoer and
at the same time to temper Justice with mercy
The charitable nature within him has been con-
spcuOusly demonstrated by his many kind acts OF
philanthropy toward the unfortunates who have
appeared before him We have frequently read OF
his kindness toward a poor woman, of his tender
yet impressive lecture TO the misIed youth and OF
his liberal contributions those in Distress The
recent episode when the Judge volunteered to aid
poor, ambitious artist who struggling for a
future and starved himself in order TO further his
ambition is fresh In the public mind. A man with
a heart like that OF Judge Crane, vet Arm and
severe enough 10 adequately punish those deserving
of such penalty, would fill any exalted position
creditably. His public record is above reprOach,
Nis private life has been OF good deeds He
deserves well Of his fellow man, and thousands /

him for Mayor. hope may have the chance

The Holt County sentinel., 1900-10-26

DEMOCRATIC officials in this state have
had at least two methods Of squander-
ing the public school and seminary cash
endowment and replacing it with mere
certificates OF debt that have no con-
stitutional standing. In one case
Democratic administration sold United
States bonds belonging to the schools,
amounting 10 81 .65O, 900. spent the money
as general revenue and substituted
certificate OF debt. To another instance
they used up the cash co ming from the
sale Of college lands and government
war indemnity, amounting IN all to 81
DO 9.S39.42, and left no trace OF either,
except II state certificate of debt. Tax
payers are carry ing the whole burden at
6 and per cent and must pay the prin-
cipal il it is ever to be changed back
from debt to assets.

Chicago is congratulating itself-anC
with good reason-on the steady i'm
proyement in the health Of it's inhab

health show a constant decrease in the
death rate during the last twenty years
particularly among children. Out oil
every thousand deaths during the first
quarter OF this twenty-ysar period, five
hundred and twenty-five were those OF
children under five years Of age. Dur
ing the last quarter the number has
been only three hundred and thirty

Few people realize how much happl-
ness may be promoted by few words
of cheer spoken in moments Of despon-
dency, by words OF encouragement in
Seasons Of difficulty, by words of COM
mendatIon when obstacles have been
overcome by effort and perseverance.
Words fliy spoken often sink SO deep
INTO the mind and heart of the person
TO whom they are addressed that they
remain fixed. precious and oft-recur-
ring memory--a continuous sunshine,
lighting up years, perhaps, after the lips
that have uttered them are sealed IN
death. A whole life has been changed,
exalted. expanded and illumed by d SIN
gle expression OF approval falling timely
upon r sensitive and ambitious nature.
Words of cheer cost nothing to the
speaker. On the contrary, they are to
him, as well rs to the henrer, a source
OF great happiness, TO be had for the
mere effort OF utterirg them. The habit
OF speaking such words ut appropriate
times is easily acquired, while at the
same time it is Of much importance that
it should be sedulously cultivated by
all.-Detroit Free Press.
