NEW YoRks Tiger HUME

OF all the general elections that are
being held today in eleven different
states the election in the city of Greater
New York attracts the most interest.
New York has developed 20 the extreme
an organization that feeds and thrives
upon corrupt government. Tammany
Hall has become world known. This
year the respectable element of New
York is up in arms determined to throw
of the yoke of corruption and all indi-
cations seem to point toward its success.
Four years ago, when fight was
made against Tammany, Senator Platt's
influence In republican ranks was
thrown into the balance against good
government and third ticket was put
up by the republican ring which polled
enough votes to give victory to the Tam
many ticket, altho the combined anti
Tammany vote for republican and citi-
zens' tickets was much larger than the
vote for the ticket elected This year the
Citizens, Union has succeeded in put
ting up a ticket upon which all anti
Tammany forces are united and the
downfall of the corrupt organization
seems almost inevitable.
Mr.. Low, the reform candidate for
mayor. Is unique character in Ameri-
can politics. He was president of
Columbia University, one of the largest
universities in the country, but has al
ways. taken an active part in politics as
a matter Of duty and when nominated
by the Citizens Union promptly ac-
cepted, resigning from the presidency of
the university and insisting that his
resignation be accepted Immediately.
Four years ago he resigned from the
university when accepting similar
domination, but the trustees refused to-
act upon 1t until after the election, when
they refused to accept and .Ir. Low re-
eumed his work as president Of the COL
lege This year. with all the conditions
favorable, he was SO sure of his election
sat he insisted that his resignation be

accepted Immediately. He has thrown
himself heart and soul into the cam
paign, making speeches and winning
votes everywhere he appeared.
The situation is so acute this year that
even Tammany has been forced to put
up good man for mayor. Mr.. Shepard
is an able lawyer and man who has al
ways taken an active part in reform poll
itics, even denouncing Tammany as q
"disgraceful blot upon American poll
tics" which utterance is. of course, used
That Croker, the Tammany chief, has
been compelled TO put up clean man
for mayor is j distinct gain for good
government, but under the new city
charter the mayors authority is limited.
Many of the departments in which the
greatest municipal rottenness exists can
only be reached thru special boards,
whose members are elective, and the
Tammany candidates fer these positions
are distinctly Tammany men.
The campaign has been loud one.
The press, daily, weekly and comic, has
been a unit in favor of the Citizens
Union. Bill boards and banners have
beer used extensively. The Tammany
tiger has been hard pressed and. judging
from the last appeal of Mr.. Croker to
the voters, the dreadful beast has been
run to earth with large crowd in at the
death. Groker's appeal, which was pub
lished in an edition of 100000 hand bills
to be distributed from elevated railway
stations, ETC., asked the voters not to be-
lieye what had been printed in all the
papers against the present administra-
ton, but to vote for Shepard and gov
eminent by the people as against gov
eminent by the newspapers which was
only another form of anarchy. So badly
beaten is the Tammany crowd already
that this is the best argument they
have, the trump card held back to take
the last trick. 1t is generally believed
that Mr.. Low will be elected, which
will be a great victory for good citizen
ship. The forces of corruption can never
win when the decent citizen is aroused
1t is only when he goes to sleep that the
of corruption, which never
sleeps, can creep back into power. The
Tammany tiger. like his prototype of the
jungle. forages by night. When the
alarm is sounded and the natives beat
the bush his hide generalls adorns some
totem pole. This is what Will happen in
Greater New York today.

PIHkeRron WOULD DANISH ANARCHISTS

Robert A. Pinkerton, eastern manager
of Pinkerton's National Detective
Agency, contributes to the November
number of the North American Review
an interesting and suggestive article in
which he strongly advocates a "Detec-
tive Surveillance of Anarchists" Mr.,
Pinkerton does not think that the re-
sources Of the government secret SER
vice. as at present constituted, are
equal to the work required OF it; app
preparations are too small, and the men
employed are at times appointed not out
OF regard to their fitness for detective
duty, but because of political recon-
mendation. Perhaps it would be best to
form a special department for the sup
preston of anarchisn. The most eff
fective method of uneartning and
tifwarting the plots of the anarchists,
in Mr.. Pinkerton's judgment, would be
that thru which the police succeeded III

ment of one of the islands of the Phil
ippines, to which every man and woman
who breaches the overthrow of govern
ment should be deported, so that they
might govern themselves there. or re-
frain from governing themselves, as
they saw fit. Mr.. Pinkerton lays en-
phasis upon the necessity for radical
measures:
The value OF a restrictive system APP
piled to anarchy is observable in the
conditions that prevail in New York
City. There the police have always car
rled on relentless warfare against the
Reds. They have even gone TO the
length of Illegally suppressing their
meetings" On one occasion, remem-
Der, when a lot of anarchistic senti-
ments were being shouted from
speakers stand in Union square the po-
lice without warrant, descended upon
the meeting and broke 1t up. This was
reprehensible from the standpoint of
the stickler for social and political
rights; but there are certain conditions
that cannot be dealt with from the ordi-
nary point Of view, and anarchy is one
of them. Where that comes into ques-
ton, we may we'll permit the authori-
ties to stretch a point for its repression.
The activity OF the New York police has
had the effect of keeping the anarchists
IN that city bottled up during the past
ten years: 30 that. while we have had
the spectacle. of the Reds shouting in
Chicago and most of the other big cit
les, they have sung very small indeed
in the metropolis"

THE TREASURY SURPLUS.

The federal treasury continues to show
a gratifying surplus. Thru the war rev.
enue reduction tax of last spring a cut
was made in the treasurys annual in
come to the extent of over $400oo,oo0.
The fiscal year ending June 80, 1900, had
shown surplus of s19,5Oo.oo0, and this
big balance was only diminished to $751;
600, 600 in the fiscal year ending June 81,
1901. The tax reduction Lawn has now
been in force four months, but instead
Of decreasing under its operation the
treasury balance has risen and threat
ems to pass the surplus figures of 1900
and 1901. Discussing this subject the
New York Tribune says.
It is scarcely just. of course. to charge
the tax reduction act with the apparent
absolute failure of last winters we'll
meant effort to diminish the surplus and
tighten the burdens of federal taxation.
The law OF March 8 has by no means fall
filled the expectations of its trainers. Yet
ii has checked materially the inflow of
internal revenue collections, and for the
first four months OF the present year has
lowered the treasury's total receipts
about $45e0,00o. AT this rate it will re-
suit In u cut of sl3,5oo, 0o0 fer the full
twelve months-about third of the sum
the secretary of the treasury and con-
gress planned TO surrender thru last
winters legislation.
The block on which their calculations
stumbled was the unsupported shrinkage
OF expenditures, due to the program of
economy enforced in the war depart
ment by Secretary Root. For the month
OF October the war departments dis
bursements We're only $9,5is,470. against
over s14. O00,0 900 in October, 1900. Equally
gratifying reductions were made in the
months preceding, and in consequence
the treasury's expenditures for the first
third of the present fiscal year have
fallen short of last years figures by
some s27, 9oo, 600. Naval expenditures this
year show a tendency to increase, which
may slightly counterbalance the saving
effected in the army account. But 1t Is
safe, perhaps, to assume that the fiscal
years expenditures will drop far enough
below those of 1901 to invalidate COM
pletely the calculations OF the trainers
of the tax reduction law. The paradox
cal results of that measure will continue
to excite a curious interest. Yet 1t will
be readily agreed on all sides that the
treasury can better afford to smile at a
paradoxical surplus than to frown at a
paradoXical deficit.
