The shepard and His Crook.

Not so very long ago, during a munic-
ipal campaign in New York. Mr.. CrO-
ker's present candidate for Mayor, Mr..
Edward NJ Shepard, referred to the
Tammany leadership OF his present pa
tron, and spoke bitterly Of the detesta-
BILE deviltry and insolence with which
Mr.. Croker threatens TO destroy Demo-
cratic politics" Today Mr Shepard
owes his candidacy to the man he has
denounced for years, and is compelled
to stand by virtue of his nomination in
the pillory with that person, Deyery.

OF which the respectahiiity and decency
of the metropolis are fighting a desper-
ate battle TO be rid.

him for two or three decades. When he
looks in his shaving glass of a morning
IT may give back the picture of the an
gel he is frank enough to describe him
self on the hustings. But neither he nor
his personal followers dare TO suggest
that he is not in wretchedly bad COM

ton would be an economical or moral
improvement upon that of Van Wyck
This time the honest voters OF Greater
New York are not fighting rumors or
generalities. They are consciously
fighting a system of collusion between
those who control the city government
and organized vice and crime. The lat
ter thrives and the former receive a
kings ransom in the shape of black
mail. No one is able to say authorita-
lively exactly who gets the money
Legal proof on that score is still lack
ing. but that a syndicate composed of
q very few individuals reaps the lions
share of the foul harvest is nowhere
doubted.
Jaa speech at the Low mass meeting
The Washington times., 1901-10-16

1t is rather entertaining than otherwise
to note that the prosecutors of Admiral
Schley are showing some slight disposi-
ton to hedge. Captain Lemly is quoted
as declaring that he did not want to be
Judge advocate of the Court of Enquiry,
that his relations with the applicant had
always been cordial, but that since he
could not escape the assignment, his plain
duty was TO lay all the evidence before
the Court. If the captain has been cor
rectly reported as regards the foregoing
expression the public will suspect that he
ought to read a work entitled "Colloquies
With Your Grandmother" His duty as
Judge advocate of a Court of Enquiry did
not require him to assume the role of
vicious prosecutor in criminal trial, did
not compel him to use every artihce
known to the police court bar to make ap-
pearances bad for the officer whose con-
duct was under investigation, and did not
Justify him In sacrificing every right that
Admiral Schley had to fair and iIlpar-
tial trial to the Navigation Bureaus de
termination to make it appear that Samp-
son and not Schley won the sea battle of
Santiago. If Captain Iemly made the
statement attributed to him, he has not
done anything much weaker in the last
three weeks.
The Washington times., 1901-10-16

of circumstantial evidence against him
is unsatisfactory in marked degree
unless it is well supported by that
which is direct and positive.
1t seems, though, that all of these
considerations counted for less with the
court than did the admission of certain
hearsay testimony which bore heavily
against Molineux. How much it may
have influenced the jury, of course we
do not know But whether it was much
or little, there is no doubt that the re-
versal will be approved by the most Of
those who followed the case at the trial
with any care.

The south and Protection.

Prom the Atlahli Journai)
There is not now nor has there ever
been any controlling protection sentiment
in the South or the prospect of develop
ing one. The protective tariff has cost
the South thousands of millions of dollars
in the bounties that she has been COM
PEELED to pay Eastern manufacturers and
the trusts which are the legitimate and
logical result of protection Though the
South is now developing her own indus
tries rapidly and in very large scale,
she is not going over to protectonlsm.

(From the Louisville Courier-Journal.)
Let no man imagine that there Is no
national future for Democracy Chastened

seven appointed years of famine. Before
us we may already behold the dawn of
the seven appointed years of plenty.

Tariff ReNisinu.
(From tle Philadelphia Ledger

(From the Philadelphia Ledger.)
1t would. indeed. be good policy on the
part of the Republican party to do the
work now and deprive the Democrats of
a live tariff issue in 1904. The country is
ripe for a moderate tariff sufficient to
protect American industries, but not
framed to foster monopolies or increase
unnecessarily the cost of living.

A report concerning Mr.. Choate's mis-
sion to the United States, which is cur
rent in London, presents a good-deal the
aspect of a diplomatic wind pudding. II
is TO the effect that the American Ambas-
sador has been charged by the British
Government with the delicate task OF
ascertaining for its benefit what attitude
this country will assume toward Great
Britain in the event Of certain European
complications We do not believe that
Mr.. Choate has been asked to do any
thing of the kind. Lord Pauncefote will
be here in n couple of weeks or so, and
If the British Foreign Office needs such
information he can go TO the President
and Secretary of State and learn from
them what he probably would know in
advance, that the United States, in all
presently conceivable cases of European
disturbance Will maintain an attitude of
friendly and strict neutrality.
