the thoroughfares kept clear. Gleason was
honest as an administrator, however crude
may have been his political morals. He
was somewhat of fanatic in his hatred Of
powerful institutions. but he was a terror
to peculators and schemers against the
public welfare. 1t would have perhaps been
a good thing for New York If that city
had had a few mayors of the Gleason
stamp, bent upon reform in the spirit which
animated him in his smaller dealings. A
man with an axe Is often potential factor
for wholesome change and while public
opinion does not as rule commend vio-
lence in the administration Of the law.

essary. Patrick Gleason will be long re-
membered for his peculiarities. which
doubtless were demonstrated to the public
good in the restricted area of his influence

From the Chicago Chronicle.

In Ohio counties where lynchings occur
must pay damages to those dependent on
the victims for support. the same as cor
porations must pay damages for injuries
by which individuals are deprived Of ability
to support themselves or families 1t is a
law Of that state the validity of which has
been twice sustained by the supreme court
A recent decision was made in suits fol-
damages resulting from the atrocious Ur-
bana lynchings four years ago. The mem
bers of the mob of lynchers could not be
reached or were irresponsible, and so the
county was sued for 5000 by the heirs OF
one Of the victims Of the mob. This Is the
amount for which final judgment has beer

Rusticity,

When money talks there is a din
Which wakes the world to dread
1t causes all our brains to spin
Till none knows what is said
Sometimes the voice is from the mart
And sometime from a throne,
And each man strives with all his heart
To clutch the megaphone.
And in the babble of the throng
Mid fortunes fierce pursuit
The gentle yield unto the strong
And tender strains are mute
And 50. good friend, our loves shall cling
Close to the sylvan walks,
Where undisturbed the birds may sing
And money never talks.
