concludes that tho responsibility for the

that city rests upon the Mayor. Doubt
less that lie conclusion the accuracy oil
what cannot be successfully disputed. IL
follows that the only way to thoroughly
purify New York is to get Mayor OF
different stamp from the present one. AS
long as the fountain Is corrupt the
stream cannot be pure. But new Kind
of Mayor cannot be had SO long as the
voters divide on national party lines

Taylor who was elected governor oil
kentucky and counted out by the Demo-
Gratis. former Secretary OF State Findley
and former Prosecuting Attorney Miller
have decided TO make Indianapolis their
permanent residence. 1t will be remem-
bered that all these men were accused OF
completely in the murder of Goebel, and
that the extradition of Taylor was de-
manded of the Governor of Indiana and
refused. There has been good deal OF
criticism of their refusal TO return to
Kentucky and stand trial. 1t would
have been just provided there had been
assurance that they would get fair trial,
but no such assurance was forthcoming
On tbs contrary the condition of public
sentiment in Kentucky was such that q
fair trial was next to impossible. That
being the case to condemn them for not
going back is good deal like condemn
ing a man for not committing suicide.
