4 aorAsLE CONTEST.

A political struggle that is attracting
widespread national interest is that
which is to occur this fall for the over
throw of Tammany in New York City.
The Tammany organization is one of the
strongest in the nation, and one of the
most corrupt. as this summers disclos-
ures of police connivance with evil
proves.
The republicans and nearly all other
political. social and moral organizations
have combined on the candidacy of Seth
Low, who resigned the presidency OF
Columbia College to make the race for
the mayoralty, in an effort to redeem
the city from the clutches of Boss Cro-
lSer. AS terse1y stated by Low, in ac-
cepting the nomination rendered him by
people who respect law, morality and
good order: 1.-The common purpose of
this campaign is to wrest the control of
the city from those who permit one man
to govern it from his English home, like
second George III, and to make mill
ions for himself and his friends out of
the control OF it, as tho this imperial city
of New York were his private gold
mine.' Nothing need be added to show
the issues involved.
It is not known yet who will be the OPP
posing candidate, as Tammany does not
nominate until the night Of the Sd, but it
will be whoever Richard Croker selects.
AS the head of Tamnany he Is the abso-
lutte ruler OF that organization as well as
the daily and nightly life of four MILL
ions of people.
1t remains to be seen whether this
man Of autocratic power can stem the
popular tide that has set in against him.
VIII he continue to hold the reins? A
writer in the Saturday Everling Post
shows why Tammany Hall has hitherto
been inyincibie. He declares that Tam
many. strength, or rather Croker's
strength, lies In his giving to the people
of New York the sort of government
they want. that unless this were the
case neither he nor his organization
could endure for a moment. il is a sor-
rowful commentary on the morals Of the
majority if this be SO. and that they
prefer liberal or wide-open policy to
one Of greater restriction. But it may
be that the people will now see by the
latest exposures Of Tammany corruption
that this organization has gone too far
in encouraging crime. It's tcybe hoped
that it's methods may be rebuked by an
Overwhelming defeat.

Aug. 16 1897. Many suspects were ar

cleared up.
President Roosevelt is studying the
question of reciprocity in trade and
most of the distinguished visitors ut the
white house are questioned by him on
this subject. He thus indicates his pur-
pose to urge the Mckinley policy of

Miss Alice Roosevelt. the 17-year-old
daughter of the president. is still at the
family home at Oyster Bay, and will not

due to the sordid comnercialism of

THE cAN1EEs QUESTION.
TNew York Suu.l

A recent letter from Gen. Albert
Daggett U. S. A.. retired, condemning
the canteen system lately abolished In
our army and giving his reasons for op-
posing its restoration, has revived pop
ular interest in the question. Gen.
Daggett's letter was written to cler-
gyman, and offered these reasons for
opposing the canteen:
1t presents the saloon to the recruit
in it's least Objectionable form. and
fixes the drink and debt habit" upon
him; it Stands as constant invita-
ton to the tota. abstainer to drink. as
a temptation to the moderate drinker
to drink more. and as a convenience to
the drunlsard to load up on beer when
he has not the means to obtain any
thing stronger" it offers opportunities
for the soldiers to keep slightly under
the influence of liquor all the time.
Commenting on these reasons, Gen.
Daggett said that the credit system
prevailed in the canteen, and on pay
day the soldier paid "a large part,
perhaps all" of his pay to the canteen
officer, and that It was not unusual to
find a company on inspection with a
majority Of its men more or less under
the Influence OF liquor.
IT there is no canteen." continued
Gen. Daggett. saloons will spring up
just beyond the reservation, but of so
vile character that respectable sol-
diers will not visit them. The viler the
dens are the better for the morals of the
garrison. because they keep respecta-
BILE men away, and the majority are re-
spectacle. The canteen system, In my
opinion. resolves itself into this ques-
ton: Is 1t best to keep constant temp
tation before the total abstainers and
the moderate drinkers for the purpose
OF controlling a few drunkards?
A writer in the Army and Navy. Jour
nal criticises Gen. Daggett's reasoning.
and says that tho the general vas a
captain for more than twenty years he
was on detached service during the four
years of that time that the canteen
system was in operation, SO that his OPP
portunity for comparison Of matters be-
fore and after the canteen was author
ICED was not so good as II would seem.
Explaining what he would substitute
for the canteen, Gen. Daggett writes to
the Army and Navy Journal in these
words:
You wish to know what I would
recommend as means of satisfying
their lsoldiers'] cravings for sociabtlity
and good fellowship. Simply this: %

Capt. Edward c.. Munson, assistant
surgeon. U. S. A.. before the American
Public Health Association in Buffalo
last week. presented statistics to show
that the canteen system was guiltless
of the evils ascribed to it by Gen. Dag
sett. DIR. Munson is the author of an
important work on military hygiene,
and his statistics were gathered while
I he was preparing his volume. and be-
fore the abolition of the canteen. In the
six years following the introduction of
the canteen, the admissions to the army
hospitals for alcoholism fell off 1916
per cent: delirium tremensi diminished
81 per. cent, insanity 31.7 per cent. The.
annual average of convictions by court
martial for drunkenness fell from 37a
to 160; the rate of desertion decreased
from 8 to As per cent, and the number
of soldiers depositing money with the
paymasters Increased 10 per cent. Capt.
Munson's statistics are strongly against
Gen. Daggett'S assertions; they are
based on army records. while the gen.
.eral relies largely on memory
Thug far tie opponents of the canteen
have been victorious; but an attempt
will be madH to obtain permission from
congress at its next session to restore
