Whatever else may be said of that lead
ership, it is beyond denial that it has been
successful
When Croker became leader of Tam
many Hall. something like fifteen years
ago, he was poor man. He is today
millionaire. Where did he get his
money? The answer to that question
which Cookers enemies accept, and to
which the newspapers give currency, is
that he derived it from public robberies
of one kind or other. There is little on
which to base such an answer. 1t would
be much more in accordance with fact
and probability to say that he made it
through being shrewd enough to avail
himself of the almost unlimited oppor-
tunities for money making which the
leadership of such a powerful public or
ganization offers to any man with brains
enough to avail himself of them.
Corruption prevails in Tammany Hall.
There is little ground for disputing that
proposition. So does corruption prevail
in every American political Organization.
Political managers have been regarded
always as having pocketed more or less
of the funds which they raise to conduct
political campaigns The Tammany politi-
clans no doubt do that thing. If the Tam
many organization were compelled by law
to make public accounting of the moneys
entrusted to their financial officials
for political purposes, as they should be.
such a charge could not lie at the door
of Croker or anybody else. The G o e
that way There certainly is no evidence
whatever that he has done differently in
that regard to what was done by the
late John Kelly while leader of Tam
many Hall. Yet Mr.. Kelly's character
for personal honesty remained unim-
peached throughout his long and active
political career.
Mr. Croker may be rogue There
certainly is deal of roguery going on
around him in official life. But, rogue or
no rogue. he is successful in politics, and
such men, however their personal probity
has been assailed, continue to be a power
in the. land. AS leader of Tammany Hall
Richard Croker may or may not be de-
serving of the general reprobation di-
rected against him. There is nothing
| whatever in the private life of the man
or in his conduct while holding public
Office to warrant any such treatment of
him

THE DEFENSE OF CzoLGosz.

L he DEHEN0E Oc CZOLOOSZs
Czolgosz, when arraigned before the
court, charged with the murder of Will
lam Mckinley, refused to plead, and ac-
cording TO the law and the practice of
the court plea of not guilty was en-
tered. AS every man charged with
crime and placed upon his trial before
court is entitled to counsel, and Czolgosz,
not being represented, the court appoint
ed Loren T. Lewis and Judge Robert -
Titus, two eminent members of the Buff
falo bar, to conduct the defense of the
prisoner under his plea of not guilty
These gentlemen having accepted the
task imposed upon them by the court,
they obliged to go in their defense of the
assassin? Do the ethics of their pro-
fessiOn and the obligation of their oath, as
officers of the court, demand that they
use every effort known to the law to Sc
cure the freedom of the prisoner or a
mitigation of his punishment? Are they
in duty and honor bound, to prove
insanity if possible? In short, should
Czolgosz be treated as other prisoners
are treated-is he entitled to the same
consideration as ordinary murderers?
Notwithstanding the public clamor for
vengeance the dignity of the law must
be upheld and the assassin be given adj
vantage of every circumstance. Judge
Titus and his associate occupy a delicate
position, for no matter what they may
do in the defense of Czolgosz they will
bring upon their heads the reproduction Of
the unthinking.
We all know that Czolgosz is guilty.
should be convicted and ought to suffer
the extreme penalty of the law. But in
SO much as he seeks the protection of our.
institutions to the extent of demanding
a trial, fair and impartial one must be
given him. A public trial he must have.
but i'll the report of this the public
press should confine itself to the merest
details of the proceedings.
The opportunity to become the observ-
ed or all observers among this people.
should be denied the assassin. No grand
stand plays should be allowed The pub
lie knows the facts-there is no necessity
for repetition of them in the press.
p Even the death penalty in the electric
chair should be changed to solitary con-
hnement for life.
What defense will be made on behalf
OF the prisoner we do not know. Should
the theory of insanity be advanced nv
the defense it must be fought out re-
gardless of its effect. Would it not be
infinitely better to know that this act
was committed by a man wholly ire
sponslble, than to believe that it was
the work of a band of human fiends
determined upon the destruction of all
civil government? We believe that Chi
feau was insane, but it was a responsible
insanity, and it did not enable him to
escape the punishment which he so rich
ly deserved.
The trial of CzoIgosz may bring out
the fact that he acted alone or if NAV
demonstrate a plot It is to be hoped
mat he alone is responsible for his act

Singular Accident to Big Retail Es-
tabIishment in Chicago


CHICAGO, Sept 19-The six-story de-
partment store of Rothschild & Co, To-
Gated on the corner of State and Van
Buren, streets, was partially wrecked to-
night by the falling of inside partition
walls. The damage to the building and
stock will aggregate $225, 900.
An arch was being cut between two
compartments on the second floor of the
building, and it is thought the walls were
not sufficiently supported. Members of
the firm state that the collapse was
caused by the explosion of an electric
storage box. The walls through which
the arch was being cut gave way and
brought down all the floors from the roof
to the basement, the ruined space MAX
ing an area of about twenty-five square
feet. From some unknown cause fire
then started, The fire was quickly ex-
tinguished by a spray" system of fire
protection in the building, most of the
damage to the goods being caused by
water.
There were six workmen in the building
at the time of the collapse, but none
was injured

When B. G. Hough & Co. en-,

books at once took tumble in
price of from 90 to 80 per cent.
Later, when they entered the
Coffin business, the same thing
happened; and still later the Gun

that B. G. Hough & Co. sell more
guns than every other gun concern
in Lancaster put together. Now
they are in the FURNITURE BUsI-
NESS, and the same thing will
happen again, for you know when
b. G. Hough & Co. enter any
line, the people who are in that
business must put down prices or
get out. Why is this true; why
can B. G. Hough & Co. sell goods
cheaper than other people ? 1st.
Because they buy for cash and in
large quantities. End. Because
they do most of their own work
and have no big salaries to pay.
3rd. Because they knew how and
what to buy and are always ready
with the spot cash to take advant-
age of all special bargains. 4th.
