night was a remarkable success, and
everyone in attendance enjoyed the

role. James Chambers of Belt was
heavy man, and his rendition of the

POLITICAL FINANCE.

II would be no surprise to anybody informed
OF the past workings of Quigg if in putting
aside under pressure the bauble Of power he
should desire to retain its actually as head or
Finance Committee. Such an office is the marx
OF Richard Cookers supremacy. and naturally
Quigg would think it about the right sort or
place for him. But, even aside from the poeuc
fitness of the thing. Quigg has always had
proper appreciation Of the advantages OF being
the person to handle the money and no ques-
tions asked. Early in his career as president of
the county organization he had Finance Com
mittee partly composed of innocent persons
with ideas Of conducting affairs on a business
basis and keeping track Of campaign receipts
and expenses but Qugg would have none of It,
No bookkeeping and no nonsense for him. Poll
tics and banking were two different things, and
records and checks and balances were out OF
place with a general of politics in the neld
Quigg meant TO manage finances with the
secrets hidden in his own breast, and he has
done So
General Greene is all we'll enough as County
Committee president, but it takes a man OF spe-
cial training to manage finances, see that the
right people pay up, and that the right bills get
through the Legislature. General Greene is a
good engineer. but Quigg is a better one In that
line If he was not a good pipe layer we may
be sure the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
pany would not have use for his services when
IL is putting down so many pipes and condults.
Quigg understands political high finance, the
value of its secrets, and apparently Mr.. Platt
also understands the value of those secrets past
as well as future, to judge from his extreme
willingness TO make Quigg comfortable and self
contained. The continuance Of Quigg in real
power may not add materially to the Republi-
can vote, but it may be good politics, all the
same The man in possession of old financial
experience may be the safest repository Of new
financial secrets and the most unsafe man to
have out Of job. Since the method which the
Sutans had of throwing overheard old conf
dants went out of fashion it has generally been
deemed wiser not to throw them overheard at
all. Maybe that consideration, rather than
Quigg's personal advantage, makes possible
Quigg's retention of the purse strings.

TIE KENTTCKY LEADERSHIP

In formally announcing that he does not de-
sire a denomination 10 the office from which he
has been Wrongfully ousted, Ex-Governor Taylor
OF kentucky has done what he must have been
generally expected TO do since he left the State
TO escape the jurisdiction Of it's courts The
TONE or his letter TO THE Louisville Evening
Fost is rather too personal and lachrymose but
his private reasons for the course he has taken
are presumably sufficient and from q public
point of view his decision would seem IN he
Judicious Perhaps he is warranted in beIiay-
Ing that he cannot safely return to Kentucky to
face the Indictment which has been found
against him, but it would be extremely difficult
10 make ali effective campaign for a candidate
absent from the State under such conditions
His view of the matter is that he is fugitive
not from justice but from injustice and he
may be right but If so he is, nevertheless. in
capacitated for the leadership of his party
when. prior TO the decision of the Supreme
Court, which had the effect of giving the Demo
Gratis possession of the State offices Mr. TAYLOR
declared that at the proper time he would be
found in Frankfort confronting his accusers It
was felt mat he had adopted suitable attitude
ana mat the course Of events might make him
the o1hclal representative in the coming cam
palgh OF The great issue which the people of
hentucky viii settle next November. But his
change OF purpose has appeared for some time
q. ieas' 10 OUTSIDE observers, 10 require a re-
vision OF the programme upon which the Marty
managers were understood to have agreed.
Mr.. Taylor's unfortunate circumstances at tho
present Time moreover, do not constitute the
only reason for believing that better man can
be found to lead the fight for honest elections In
hentucky-a fight in which many Democrats
ought TO engage with alacrity and vigor. For If
cannot be denied that in the defence of his file
TO the Governorship he committed serious mis-
takes, which weakened his position both
morally and practically, and made more difficult
the task of redressing the monstrous wrongs
which his adversaries finally succeeded in ner
petratDg. A candidate wholly free from re-
sponsibility for these costly errors of Judgment
would probably be able 10 make a stronger an
peal TO the voters. Dir. Taylor well says that
the coming campaign is profoundly important
and that il must be conducted with the utmost
energy and with all the resources which the

Detroit, June s.-There was great crowd at the
Michigan Central station this afternoon when Ad-
miraI Deweys special train arrived. To the noise
of the cheers added the sound of the guns OF
the United States steamer Michigan firing an Ad-
niraI's salute at her anchorage. Admiral Dewey
and his party are the special guests OF the Fellow
craft Club and the train was met at lockwood,
twenty miles from the city. by William G. Living
stone president OF the club; members OF the Board
OF Governors Mayor Maybury and few friends
OF the Admiral.
On their arrival the Admiral and Mrs. Dewey
were driven to the Russell House. escorted by a
battalion OF the 18th Infantry from Fort Wayne.

gan and the revenue cutter Fessenden, and a bat

STOP THE WASTE OF WATER.

Certain public officials who have shown re-
peatedly that they friendly to the Ramapo
scheme are moving heaven and earth to alarm
New-York. They declare the gravest danger
exists that the water supply will soon be too
small for the needs of the consumers, and that
plans should be entered upon at once for an
enormous increase. Intelligent taxpayers will
look with suspicion upon recommendations
from Commissioner Dalton or from any one who
has attempted TO promote the Ramapo plot
Commissioner Dalton has convinced his fellow
citizens that he is not an official of genuine pub
lie spirit and not one who has the true interests
or the community at heart. The agitation for
a vast expansion of the supply within a few
years has been overdone, and sensible citizens
are not likely to be harried into panic by wild
exaggerations from any quarter
1t is plain enough to those who have studied
the subject and who sincerely desire an ample
provision for the metropolis that the first duty
of the local government is to lessen the prodi-
gal waste which is now going on. All the pipes
and every part of the system in which leakage
can occur should be examined thoroughly TO
determine where the biggest waste may exist
and steps should be taken similar to those which
have been adopted in other communities TO re-
duce the loss. NEWCOMERS are not yet ready
for city ordinance that would compel the put
ting Of meter 10 every home but ii is advisa-
ers, the brewers, the stables the hotels, the
barrooms and restaurants, should be called upon
to pay reasonable price for water, and rigor-

THE RACE OF STABBERS.

Scarcely day passes without mention In the
newspapers Of one or more cases In when
Italian residents Of New-York have drawn stl-
lettos for the reckless settlement Of their dis
putes We suppose that many such engage
ments fail to gain even the attention OF the
courts, and 1t Is certain that in multitude OF
instances no record is made Of the fact that
the law which forhids the carrying of concealed
weapons has been violated punishment in
f1icted on that account. Yet the offence is
dangerous and detestable one and well worthy
of the serious consideration of the authorities.
Italians are coming to this country In swarms.
A single vessel recently landed, we believe,
twelve hundred of them. To a great extent
they are of miserable quality, though presuma-
bly, Just raised above the conditions which
would require their exclusion. and they are
almost universally unfit for American citizen
ship in one respect at least by reason OF the
fact that they carry daggers about their per-
sons and a passion for using them in their
hearts.
This propensity does not conform to the tenn
per and habits of our native population. Doubt
less there is a perabundance of revolvers in
this country and they are too often lawlessly
employed. But a revolver gives notice of it's
being in action and consequently does not so
heavily handicap either its intended victim or
the police. Moreover, the man who displays
shooting iron is likely to wish he hadn't, and we
frequently hear of his being called to strict
account; whereas it seems to be regarded as
matter of no Importance that person of foreign
extraction who to say the least has no superior
claim to liberation, should be armed at all hours
OF the day and night with a deadly weapon
which he dearly loves to stick into convenient
back.
II is high time that something definite and
resolute was done to convince those who have
been trained 10 fondle stilettos from their in
fancy that a different sentiment toward such
implements prevails in the United States. There
are foreign customs which we cannot afford to
import and the one under consideration be-
longs in that class. There are probably thou
sands of Italians here who possess scarcely
enough intelligence to know that they ought not
to use their favorite weapons, and who haven't
the faintest idea that they are forbidden to
carry them. A series of elementary lessons,
conveyed by rigorous punishment of every one
who is detected by the police in such ignorance,
would be useful to these moral and civic f1edg-
Hngs. Or, if that doesn't answer the purpose,
the process Of enlightenment should begin al
the immigration Bureau. 1t is necessary in
some way TO render racial impulse harmless
as preliminary to its eradication.
