BooTBLAcK TO SENATOR.

Timothy Dry Dollar Sullivan is
unique figure in New York politics
who has been brought into public no
tice lately by his antagonism to the
movement against gambling and other
forms of vice in the metropolis. 1t is
but natural that Sullivan should not
be in sympathy with such a campaign.
He was born and has thrived in the
atmosphere of which District Attorney
Gardiner is trying to rid New York
and he sees no harm in it.
Sullivan began life as a bootblack.
Now he is a leader in the state senate.
He was born in New York thirty-seven
years ago and his boyhood was spent
around the Five Points, where he
BACKED shoes and sold papers and was
a leader of the gamins. As soon as he
could vote the politicians took him up
and at twenty-three he was able to de-
mand a nomination for the assembly.
He has been in Office ever since, never
tasting defeat. Since 1892 he has been
in the senate. He has maintained his
influence by befriending such of his
constituents as ran afoul of the law,
by organizing relief movements for
the poor, and by giving DRY Dollar
Sullivan picnies and balls to which the
voters of his district are invited. He
has a host Of relatives, all Of whom
live in his district and every one OF
whom receives aid from the senator,
When he moved into the upper house
of the Legislature he had his nephew.

Boston Tim" elected to the assembly,

generous man by his retainers, his

The tenement house committee Of
the Good Government clubs, having
eneoted great Improvements in the
housing o; the New York poor, now
presents some figures which must ap-
peal even to the ~greediest OF capital
lists. Buildings erected on sanitary
principles, with plenty of light and
air, water, heating facilities and other
conveniences, are paying dividends of
from twelve to fifteen per cent, while
the squalid and unhealthy dwellings
beside them can hardly be forced to
yield five and six per cent. In one
tenement house the average rent of
rooms is eighty five cents a week,
and the room has at least one window
with clear sunlight. For every tenant
there Is running water and steam heat,
together with free bath and laundry
privileges in the basement. This
building has never paid less than 10
per cent, while the d%ilapidated and un-
comfortable houses which adjoin 1t
pay only Z per cent. Here IS some
thing for the landlords to think about.

The Texas antitrust law, which is
generally recognized as one OF the
most stringent of its kind, has been
sustained by the Supreme court Of the
United States, in the case of the Wa

pany, which is alleged to be a member

with violating the Texas laws against

was admitted to do business, and was
therefore bound by them.

Punish Frauds in Foods.

The leading papers in all the great
cities are taking up the fight in be-
half of the people, now being waged
against frauds in food products, and
especially in butter. The Philadel-
phia Inquirer says, in speaking of the
arrest of several dealers in oleo:
If the charges are made good the
punishment should be severe.
We hail these arrests with gratili-
cation, for they show that the depart
ment of agriculture intends to go to
the bottom of oleomargarine frauds.
Governor Stone has taken a positive
stand in this direction. He is COM
mended for SO doing by the Republic

governor nor the Republican party
