BLAcKuATLTNG STREET CLEANERS

The Tribune's exposure of the blackmailing
system which prevails in the Street Cleaning
department of course calls forth denials from
The officials in charge. Deputy Commissioner
Gibson is convinced that the foreman who told
about eKtortion is bad man. So Commissioner
Murphy thinks ONeill, who told about the po-
lice shake downs is 2 bad man, unworthy TO
serve Devery and his blackmaling combination.
Such attempts to discredit witnesses, however
deceive nobody. Captain Gibson may find as
much fault as he wants TO with the officer in
1.-THE employ of the department whose concep-
-tion of his duty is so stunted as 10 prompt
him 70 give currency TO an abuse that may to
some extent obtain without convincing the
public that the crime in such a case is not the
abuse itself-which he admits may exist-but
the telling about il 10 outsiders.
Now. the man who exposed this corruption
may be as mean and unbrotherly toward his as
sociates in the department as any exposed
. blackmailer may wish to paint him. That has
nothing to do with the question. He may have
failed technically in his duty by not making
martyr OF himself and reporting the extortion
TO his superiors. though even those superiors
esn hardly pretend in seriousness that. if he
SAW a system of blackmal .n operation and be-
heved it approved by the head of the depart
ment. he had any reason TO think a report on
the subject would be beneficial TO the service or
safe for himself. OF course, il is all very well
FOR Captain Gibson TO pretend that such reports
are invited. Colonel Murphy does the same. but
the patrolman who forward TO testify
about shake downs at the O'Neill trial has
since been abused by Devery from the bench in
language too obscene TO print i'm a newspaper
and subjected 10 a fine enormously heavy in
proportion TO his alleged offence Ii is no use
10 seek cover behind the foreman who for good
reason preserves for the present his anonymity
The facts as they appear uncontradcted are
enough 10 call for investigation.
Here is this man ManseIla Mott-st saloon
Keeper. who says he is not in the employ of the
city and has official position acting as the
volunteer spy the street cleaning force. He
admits that he s so engaged. He admits thn.
the department leyes fines at his unofficial
word He also admits that he sells to the en-
ployes Of the department tickets for Nagle,s
and sullivans chowder parties. How is this TO
be explained: Men do not serve the city for
nothing How does Msnsella or his private em.
poyer, whoever that may he. make ANYTHING
ont of such activity Some ssy that he is the
unofficial extortioner; that the Nagle and SnlIi.

In his address to the Episcopal Diocesan Con-
vel ton YESTERDAY Bishop Potter again con-
demned the scheme to divide the Episcopal
Church into a number of territorial provinces,
each to have al archbishop. with primate as
the supreme Episcopal authority. He holds that
such provincial system would really disinte-
CRATE the Church rather than unite II, and that
It would develop a narrow, sectional, provincial
mind in the Church The Church is great
single province under the government of a
general convention. and the bishop appears to
believe that such arrangement will better
promote unity of thought and action than would
the establishment of a number of provinces
each OF which might easily develop hostile types
Of >churchmanship. with the result that the
provinces would he constantly pickering and
quarTelling. As to the plea that the provincial
system is In accordance with ancient usage. the
bishop simply observes that the Episcopal
Church is American. not Greek. Latin or Angli-
can, and that are living to-day in the twen-
tieth not the tenth. century. There is no doubt
that the disapproval OF the Bishop of New
York who would certainly be archbishop
II not prmate. under the proposed system, will
fave great weight when the question comes up
in the general convention

With regard to the serving of warrants, Colo
mel Murphy, Devery's pale and attenuated
shadow in the Police Department, seems to be
inclined to interpret the law for himself He
should he a little more cautious, or he may find
breakers ahead. and be forced much against
his will. to turn turtle. Why should Colonel
Murphy set himself up authority as to
the meaning of the statutes? Is he Coke or a

mas turned UP i'll rather sensational
manner in the Philippine islands, where
he is now serving in the United States
army. In 1899 Hetherington's wife,
whose maiden name was Marie Reed,
received a letter from him, in which he
stated he was tired of life and was
going to drown himself III Lake Michi-
gan. A day or two later his clothes
We're found along the lake shore near
Chicago and it was supposed he had
carried out his threat, and his wife
mourned him as dead. y day or two
ago County Attorney c. II. George re-
ceived a copy of a letter from the war
department by Capt. NJ. S. Jarvis of
Company ID, United States infantry,
now in the Philippine islands, in which
the captain stated one of the privates
in his company, Ben +. Hetherington,
had informed him that there was an in
dictment against him in Clinton county
charging him With the murder of his
Wife in March, 1893; that his wife had
died from an overdose of morphine
given her by physician. and that he
could prove his innocence if he could Sc
cure u discharge and return to this city
He also informed his captain that a
large reward had been offered for his
apprehension.
County Attorney George says no in
dictment has ever been returned against
Hetherington here and that he was
never charged with the crime for which
he says he has been indicted. Further
more, Mr.. George says Hetherington' .
wife ia alive and is resident of Ster-
ling, Ill. II is the opinion of the county
attorney that Hetherington is tired of
fighting Filipinos and that his story OF
the Indictment is a scheme to secure a
discharge so he can return to the United
States. Hetherington conducted bar
