does It matter that the safety of person
and property continues in jeopardy?
These police offices are valuable. They
are property in the eyes of the law, and
these miserable parasites are bound that
they should not be deprived of the sus-
tenance they have so long enjoyed
While this ignob.e spectacle is b ing
presented to the public view, local Grim
inals, as if realizing that their oppor-
tunities are drawing to close, cast aside
all show of precaution and carry on their
depredations in broad daylight, apparent
ly unconscious of all danger of discovery
or punishment
Were the case less urgent it would be
of interest to observe how long this man
Getchell would continue from choice thus
to expose and degrade himself. But there
is too much at stake, the public safety
must be conserved, and it accordingly be-
comes of immediate concern that the
board of police shall forthwith adopt the
necessary measures which will effectively
relieve the police service of the shackles
which are thus sought to be permanently
attached to it.

A BIG rNnERTAKINc

The leader of the Republican party in

of the last campaign. and he was
success in that capacity. 1t is success
which mostly impresses Americans in DO
ltical as in all other transactions.
1t will be easy to point to Senator
Hanna as the incarnation of the trust
idea. He will be held up to view as the
representative of the corrupt and corrupt
ing influence of great wealth in the prog
ress of public affairs, Such course of
conduct has prevailed regarding him
since the last election. But he is the
same man precisely now that he was
then, and his methods will be close ap-
proach in the coming campaign to those
by which success was achieved under his
direction in the last
No one thinks Of denying that Mark
Hanna is an able man. His recent
speech at the Ohio convention was not
only an adroit appeal for popular support
of his party, but it was in every sense
an able expression OF policy and purpose
He will enter on the coming campaign
with all the prestige of success, and it is
a great deal He has the resources. He
has the system. He will be able to cover
every foot of the ground with all the
agencies which are most available in
great political campaigns, whether those
agencies are just what they should be-
or not. In political contests it is alb
surd to assume that the methods resort
ed to appeal to the finer instincts Of
men, or that any one set of party man
ayers are much ahead of any other in
the means adopted in the endeavor to
secure success.
What has the Democracy to offer in the
way of effective provision in opposition
to the organized efforts which will be
made so exhaustively under the rection
of Senator Hanna? Abuse of Hanna will
not meet the case. Already the arrange

REAptNG THE wH,RLw1Np.

The G o b e expressed the conviction
at the outset that the exposures made
by the New York Journal regarding the
holding OF stock in the New York ice
trust by certain New York city officials
would result in the most serious conse-
being fully sustained by the progress of
events Mayor Van Wyck- and other
politicians and officials like Carroll and
Dock Commissioner Cram are not un-
likely to find that they have not only
wrecked their own political fortunes. but
that they have brought the political or
ganizaiion in which they are so promi-
nent into the gravest peril in the COM
munity. Tammany Hall has survived
many such exposures among its proml-
nent men. and will doubtless survive
THIS. Indeed, the worst that can be look
ed for in that direction is the temporary
Gefeat of the organization and its can
didates at the ballot box
The right of public officials to hold
undertaking is no more to be questioned
than that Of the private citizen. AS long
as it is matter of private investment
which does not in any way affect the
official duty of those who make the in
vestment. it is not legitimate subject
of either private or public inquiry. But
when the action officially of the investor
has been plainly and palpably framed
so as to operate with special advantage
to the concern in which the investment
is made, it is no longer outside The right
of the public and the Individual ts know
all about it.
1t has been made plain by the Journal
in these cases that the officials and poli-
ticians who are shown to possess stock
in the ice trust to considerable amount
had so conducted themselves in office as
to plainly show their interest in the pro-
motion through official agencies of the
interests of the trust. This, taken into
account ir connection with the shameful
extorton practiced on the tenement pop
ulation of the great city in the sale of
ice by the trust, has placed the onus on
officials involved to show that their pos
session of stock in that concern is IN
nowise and to no extent the result of
their official favoritism.
Men who in public life are shown to be
ready to enrich themselves by promoting
the business interests of individuals are
as unworthy of public station as are
those who actually steal the public funds
entrusted to them. If the investigation
now In progress shows that Mayor Van
Wyck or any of his associate officials
came by his ice stock as the result of
their official attitude or that they re-
ceived it under more favorable terms
than it has been available to the invest
ing public generally, they should be driv-
en- from Office, as unfit to represent the
people interests.
Regarding the subject from the purely
political standpoint it would be far bet
ter for the New York Democracy and
for Tammany Hall that these men should
be exposed and punished, than that they
should be capable of engaging in such
transactions and be allowed to represent
their party or their organization in Off
cial station

a PARAMOUNT DUTY.

1t IS quite evident that the local &u-
thorities of the city of St. Louis are
either unable or unwilling TO discharge
the ordinary duty Of the protection Of
the lives and property of the residents
of that city. The situation which is now
revealed shows that the city is on the
verge Of social chaos. Unless some hing
is done to redeem the community from
its present situation, from the disgrace
and wrong which are being done TO it by
its own citizens, the immediate future
may be productive of events which will
entail lasting injury to it's good name
At this distance it seems difficult to
understand how men, women and chill
dren can be shot down in cold blood on
the streets of St Louis day after day
without producing any apparent ability
on the part Of the authorities to dis
charge their functions. 1t cannot be
said that there exists any colluson be-
tween the city authorities and the au-
thors of the prevailing lawlessness. 1t
of a serious situation.
The duty of state authority. under the
circumstances, is plain. Unless order is
speedily established through the efforts
of the st. Louis civil authorities, the
state militia must be called out; and if
that is not done the public safety would

1t is no longer a question of the merits
or dement's of an existing strike TIE
parties to that movement on both sides
seem to have been able to suspend the
operation of the ordinary functions of
civil government in.zthe prosecution OF
their quarrel. Neither there nor else
where, so far as has ever been made
apparent, does the power rest in any de-
partment or officer of government. local,
| state or national, to subordinate the pi-
vate interests thus engaged in a dissu. b.
ance of the public peace to the welfare
of the community
No doubt this will one day be changed.
1t is certainly time that the law-making
authority of the state should recognize
the obligation which is imposed on the
community to protect its members

the prosecution of a private controversy.
There are such bodies as boards of arbi-
tration and adjustment, designed to set
tie such disputes; but they really have
no jurisdiction or power which would be
CT the least moment in such a situation
as this 1t is time that such power was
conferred on them. The railroad and
other strikes which, In other cities as
well as in ST. Louis, notably in CIeve-
land and Cincinnati, have of late been
productive of so much violence, cry out
against the continuance of the present
lack of authority to intervene on the
part of public officials.
Until such power is recognized and
provided for there is one paramount
DUTY, and that Is to drive into the ground
the shameful lawlessness on both sides
which is at this moment disgracing the
entire country through it's excesses in
