MR.. Croker Learns 4 LESSON.

Mr. Croker has evidently seen a light. Less
than a week ago the apparently authentic an
nouncement was made from the Democratic
Club that Corporation Counsel Whalen was to
be nominated in the place of Justice Patterson,
whose term on the Supreme Court bench expires
this year And this not ali. The public
was also informed that Justice Patterson had
expressed his satisfaction with this arrange
ment, upon the assurance that he would be
nominated again next year. But 1t soon leaked
out that the story of the Judges acquiescence
in the plan was not true He had not stepped
aside for Mr. Whalen, and he was a candidate
for election to succeed himself this year or not
at all. All who knew him we'll believed him
incapable of being a party to such a compact.
The publication of the story had, however,
an interesting effect It was at once inter
preted as meaning another attack by Mr. Croker
upon the character and independence of the
judiciary similar to his treatment of Judge DAILY
two years ago, 1t is true that Justice Patterson
was not known to have given personal offence
TO Mr.. Croker, as Judge DAILY did, by refusing
to follow his orders in making appointments 1t
is also true that Justice Patterson has not the
popularity Of Judge Daily But he has proved
himself an upright and competent judge. That
he should be set aside for the present Corpora
ton Counsel aroused the indignation of the pub
lie as well as of the bar. The storm OF protest
that began to gather assumed such proportions
that ii really seems to have frightened Mr..
Croker. Two years ago he was willing to risk
the election of his candidate for Governor to
punish Judge DAILY. But this year he has too
much at stake. He has retreated. He has sur
rendered He now declares that there is no
reason why Judge Patterson should not be re-
nominated. Mr.. Whalen himself echoes the cry,
and no doubt remains as TO the action Of the
convention.
The incident is encouraging if not inspiring. 1t
furnishes convincing evidence that such express
sions of public sentiment as were made In the
case of Judge DAILY even though they fail in
their immediate purpose are far reaching in
their effect, and that the most powerful and
arbitrary of political dictators are not yet
wholly insensible to them. The proceedings that
were contemplated at the meeting of the Bar
Association on next Tuesday evening may now
be found unnecessary; but the preliminary steps
have not heen taken fruitlessly.

any institutions which the State might wish to
establish in that region and in line with that
intent the State has recently built there q hos
pital for the insane which is to take the place
of the Matteawan institution The climate or
that district has been pronounced by experts
admirably suited for consumptves, the build
ing can there be erected at a saving Of from
% to 40 per cent on the cost of construction
anywhere else owing to the convict labor avail
able, and the State has ample lands In the
neighborhood; or, If they are not just where a
site is wanted, private owners stand ready to
give suitable tracts to the State. The hospital
can be located far enough from the prison to
have no necessary association with 1t, not even
the same name or railroad station. The senti
ment against having 1t in the same town of
Dannemora is not worth serious consideration.
AS well say the Capitol should not have been
built in Albany because there is penitentiary
In the place, or that a State hospital should
not have been located at Rochester lest the
patients be depressed at the thought of going to
the railroad facilities are not all that might be
desired for connections from distant points they
could no doubt be improved to secure quick
transfers. No good reasons have been shown
why In the two towns excepted by law from
the forest preserve a site admirable in every
way cannot be found: and this is fortunate, for
it would look as If the door to every other spot
in the Adirondacks was shut by the Constitu-
ton, no matter how desirable it might be.

reason to suspect that at some houses collu-
sion exists between box office and Spectator,
with sharing of profits between them; that
indeed, the Spectator is practically or actually
an employee of the theatre, set upon the side
walk to sell tickets at higher price than the
managers would venture TO charge at the box

most obvious reason is pecuniary self-interest.

FREE SILVER IN NEW-YoRK.

Tammany is diligently striving to hide free
silver from the voters Of this city. Mr.. Cookers
young spellbinders have been carefully in
structed to make no reference to the money
question. The Gold Democrats are asked to
come back and vote for Bryan on the strength
OF almost any paramount issue" that will
make them forget or subordinate their devotion
10 honest money. But the device will not fool
anybody who does not want to be fooled. No
intelligent man has any excuse for deluding
himself with the notion that the Democratic
party is anything but a free silver party. or
that the Tammany men who are presented to
his suffrage here will do anything to protect
the business of this metropolis from the ruin of
cheap money.
A few days ago Mr.. George Fred Williams
revealed the essence of Organism by refusing
10 renominate Congressman Thayer in Massa-
chusetts. Mr.. Thayer is an antiimperialist and
otherwise correct, according 10 the Bryanite
standard, except that he does not believe in
10 TO 1. So although he was the most popular
Democrat In a normally Republican district,
and the candidate most likely to hold the dis
trict 10 the Democracy, Mr.. Williams turned
him down as an objectionable hereto Mr..
Croker has done the same thing in this city.
Mr.. Jefferson NJ. Levy is the one Democratic
member Of Congress from this county who has

cate of the gold standard. He represented
district of vast business interests, and as gold
man would have been stronger than his party
But like Mr.. Williams, Mr. Croker puts none
but silver men on guard. Mr.. Levy is sup
planted and Mr. o. II. p Belmont has been
nominated in his stead. Mr. Belmont is an
aggressive silver man. He has conducted a
Journal in this city devoted TO the advocacy of
Rryanism Of the most radical type Yet he is
the mar whom Mr.. Croker picks out and sub
ssltutes for one who, except on the financial
question, is an equally good Democrat. Mr..
Croker evidently regards silver as the para
mount ISSUE" even If he does keep 1t in the
background Otherwise he would not make it

account Whatever the Gold Democrats and
antiimperialists there may persuade themselves

mont they would be voting directly for free
silver In the House Of Representatives he
would support measures for cheap money and
imitation and help 10 throw the weight of this
great financial centre in favor of free silver
coinage There may be some who, with Mr.
Schurz think that the danger of free silver can
safely be risked, but even they should hesitate

THE TICKET SPECTATOR OUTRAGE

With the opening of the new theatrical season
there comes only a single and somewhat faint
CLEAN Of hope TO robbed and insulted public
for redress and protection against the rapacity
and insolence Of the ticket SPECTATORS single
New-York theatre has taken a stand against
those pestiferous nuisances. 1t has done so by
refusing to accept at the door tickets purchased
from spectators on the sidewalk and by warn.
ing intending patrons of that fact OF course
the spectators make a great fuss about 1t
resisting what they call interference with their
legitimate business, calling upon the police for
protection and threatening the theatre mana
gers with all sorts of legal penalties. Their
conduct is, however, nothing but a "bIuff"
which can easily be called" if the theatrical
managers are in earnest and have the courage
Of their convictions Nevertheless, this is only
one against the many theatres in this CITY
which persistently permit or compel their pa
irons to be the victims of the SPECTATORS ra-
pacity. And there is only too much cause to fear
that at the majority Of these houses the specu-
lator outrage will prevail in all it's offensive
throughout the season.
There is, in the best possible view of the case
no meaner and more uncalled for imposition
upon the public than the sidewalk ticket specu-
lator. He is simply extortioner. He EFFORTS
money from the public for which he gives alb
solutely no service in return. In fact, he COM
pels the public to pay more for a poorer SER
vice than It would have to pay for a better
service IL he did not exist. For q ticket agent AT
a hotel or elsewhere to charge a small advance
of prices would not be so bad, for he saves the
purchaser the trouble of going or sending to the
theatre for his tickets. But the sidewalk specu
lator does no such thing To get tickets of him
one must go to the theatre just the same. ONLY.
instead Of standing in a comfortable lobby
selecting a seat according to an accurate dia
gram dealing with a courteous man, paving
81 for each seat and getting honest money in
change, the hapless victim of the specuIator
must stand on the open street In the rain or
wind or cold or dust. accept tickets without anv
certain assurance of the location of the seats.
deal with an unclean and insolent fellow, nav
81 80 or SO seat, and probably be cheated with
short change or counterfeit money
Such is the case in its best-or least bad
aspect supposing the Spectator to be a real
Spectator operating Independently of and in
spite of the regular box office. But there is
too often darker side. There is convincing
