DEVERT'S REFLECTIONS.

Richard Croker has not been commonly
accounted n fool in political matters. and II is
consequently in no way surprising to hear that
he is much displeased with Devery and more
than ready to discipline him provided he is not
convinced by Sullivan or some other powerful
subordinate that it would be unwise 10 do so.
Deverys period Of anxiety began when Croker
conspicuously failed to recognize him at the
pier last week, and the evidence accumulates
| that he has been growing more uncomfortable
| from day to day ever since, while looking in
vain for signs of forgiveness on the face he
knows so we'll He has greatly enjoyed defyng
| the decent sentiment Of the community as
Chief and Deputy Commissioner, and doubtless
| took particular satisfaction in heaping vile
abuse on helpless policemen brought before
him for trial; but when his master frowns the
| sources of his contentment vanish. Influences
| which even Croker fears may save him. but he
| knows now that he has made mistake.
OF course, that is all he cares about. 1t is
| inconceiyable that he should regret his conduct
| for any other reason, and his bitterness must
| be increased by the knowledge that Croker s
disapproval is nothing but policy. He is
| conscious that he is perfect embodiment of
| the Tammany spirit, and that if he is marked
for destruction 1t is only because a dreaded
election is near at hand. He may possibly be
| encouraged to console himself with the expecta-
tion of getting something equally good" at
some safe time in the future, in he is
offered up as a vicarious sacrifice on the eve Of
| the campaign, but he must be sore and despond-
/ ent so long as Crokers back is turned. The
| way of the Tammany transgressor is usually
! easy, but when at rare intervals the common
| experience is reversed it is not rendered less
/ hard by the reflection that nothing but a melan-
| choly necessity has changed n virtue into a
crime in the eyes of the organization.

THEY NEED TRAINING.

Is 1t not almost time for Mr.. Vreeland. head
Of the Metropolitan system. to establish speak
ing schools for the men whose duty it is 10 call
out the names OF the streets for the information
of passengers? And might ii not be advisable
for Mr.. Skitt, of the elevated roads, to open
kndergartens in which the guards OF the plat
forms might be taught TO mention the stations
in some language which the common people
understand: Yawps and yells and warwhoops
of the sort now generally emitted by the con
ductors the electrics and the upstairs roads
might perhaps be serviceable in n campaign
against Comanches or Apaches. but such dis
concerting screams in some unknown dialect
are by no means satisfactory in local transpor-
tation.
In all seriousness. it must be said that the
corporations which use our streets and avenues
for their cars ought to be compelled to enforce
proper discipline among their employees, and
of the first requirements should be that
ticket takers on the surface and the Dangers of
gates upon the structures on stilts who cannot
will not call out the names of streets and sta
tions clearly and audibly shall be dropped from
their places. 1t Is not cruelty eXacting task
for these men. If they are so needless or thick
tongued that they fail constantly in announcing
the crossings and stopping places in such way
that passengers can find out where they are,
why not transfer them to handling shovels or
get rid Of them altogether? Surely 1t is not i'm
possible or even difficult to obtain platform men
who can speak plainly and tell the customers
of the streetcar lines, on top or on the level,
about the corners and the stations Make them
talk out, and talk so that the average man or
the average woman can at least guess at some
notion OF their meaning.

THE HOSPITALS OF NEW-YORK.

AT the opening of the recent annual confer
ence Of the Association of Hospital Superin-
tendents. which was held in this CITY, Mr..
Keller the Commissioner Of Charities, declared
that NewYork had the best hospitals in the
world. 1t is probable that he spoke well within
bounds. There are admirable hospitals in other
cities. and there are faults in New York hospi-
tails. But, taking all things into consideration,
doubt il any other city in the world comes
to equalling this in the extent and variety
of its hospital accommodations: and there is no
reason to suppose that any other surpasses it
in the ability Of the physicians and surgeons
and nurses in attendance In such institutions.
1t is little short of astounding to look over the
catalogue of New-York's hospitals and kindred
institutions, public and private. There could be
desired no higher tribute to the public spirit
and the generosity of the people of this city.
AT the same conference another speaker-Mr
Fehrtenbach, OF Cincinnati-spoke In condem-
nation OF the practice of shipping sick people to
their native places, and urged that each COM
munity should for all the sick found within
its limits. That, too, is a judcious rule, il not
abused. 1t is one of which both the proper
application and the abuse directly concern New
York. There Is no reason to suppose that New
York "unloads" its sick people upon other places.
We are not saying, either that any other places
Systematically send their sick to New York 1t
is, however, indisputabe and notorious that
many sick people from all over the land come
TO New-York. They attracted hither by the
very fact mentioned by Mr.. KelIer-the number,
variety and excellence of New-Y Yorks hospitals
and the other facilities for therapeutic treat
ment found mere Such persons are doubtless
generally able to pay their way and do so,
though charity patients, or those who become
such, are not unknown among them.
But this circumstance works New-York a GER
tain injustice, which may not be able to
avoid but which should certainly be taken into
account In regarding the vital statistics of the
city. 1t adds materially to the death roll and
raises the yearly death rate above what 1t nor
mally would be. This is of the penalties of
greatness which New-York must bear Because
1t Is large. rich and generous city 1t is better
equipped than others for caring for the sick So
the sick come hither from other places, and, in
spite OF the excellence Of their treatment. some
OF them die. NewYork does not begrudge the
hospitality which it thus gives TO the afflicted
Neither does it clamor for any special recog-
| milton OF the fact in the way of thanks or praise
But II is simple justice that the fact should be
borne in mind when vital statistics are studied
and compared and that the world should realize
! that New-York is really a more salubrious city

Guilty.,

The assassin of President Mckinley was found
guilty of murder in the first degree yesterday
after trial occupying only a few hours of two
days. and there is reason to believe that he VIII
be executed without longer delay than the
mercy of the law requires. The actual trial OF
Guiteau began. after protracted preliminares'
on November IA and closed on January %. In
the mere record of time great and Srateful
contrast now appears but the breyity OF the
proceedings in the case of CZolgosz is perhaps
not the chief cause for public gratitude to all
who took part in them. The judicial process or
twenty years ago was permitted to degenerate
into shocking spectacle which affronted the
reason and feeling of the country. The trial
which ended yesterday was conducted not only
with a promptness which dsregarded no right
of the accused, but with a decorum which ex-
actlv beftted the occasion. and reflects lasting
credit on the judge. the jury. the prosecuting
officers and the counsel who dutifully accepted
the repugnant task of presenting the defence.
The verdict rendered was just and inevitable,
and it may be hoped. as we have already said,
that as an indirect result of this extraordinary
case a much needed reform in the trial of all
capital offences will be instituted wherever as

AgTI-TAMMANY NOMIy4TIONS.

The people of the city Of New York, after
four years of the most oppressive misgovern-
Inent, have now before them inspiring oppor-
funity. The ticket named last evening by the
Republican and Citizens Union conventions has
been chosen after careful thought both TO
secure officials who be surely trusted to
give New-York an honest, intelligent and liberal
government. and TO present candidates who will
arouse enthusiasm. inspire confidence and make
the most of the chance TO overthrow Tammany
The problem was not an easy one. 1t would
not do to nominate popular men whose per
formance in office could not be guaranteed. nor
good men of unquestionable administrative abil-
ity who lacked strength with the voters. These
two essentials combined in an unusual
degree in the ticket now put in the field.
Mr.. Low needs no introduction to New-York
voters. One hundred and fifty thousand Of
them cast ballots for him four years ago. and
thousands more would have been glad to do so
IL they had not been misled by the unfortunate
disagreement over party precedence which
enabled Tammany, with a minority Of the citi-
zens behind il, 10 creep into office. There is no
good reason why every man who supported Mr.
LOW in 1897 should not support him now, and
there are many reasons why those who voted
for General Tracy in loyalty TO their party
organization, and a vast multitude Of those
who voted for Mr.. Van Wyck in loyalty to
Democracy and in hope that he would give the
city reasonably good government should now
turn TO Mr.. Low. The Republican party is
thoroughly in earnest for the union ticket, and
everybody subject to its influence will work
faithfully to elect il. The Democrats who
expected good things of Mayor Van wyck
have had a four year long object lesson which
must have revolted every honest man among
them, and they have a leader in Mr. Grout
who ran on the ticket with Mr.. Van Wyck, but
refused TO countenance the corrupt administra-
tion of his colleagues or to take back the
charges he made against them, like Mr. Coler
and who says: "Tammany, whether dominated
"by Croker or Sullivan, has no claim upon the
allegiance OF honest Democrats, and the
supreme question in this election is the honest
administration OF city affairs"
No man is better qualified than Mr.. Low TO
give such honest administration He is no
experiment. The people OF Brooklyn turned TO
him in similar emergency twenty years ago.
they elected him Mayor and reelected him.
apd his administration was looked TO from
very State in the Union as an example Of
Sc Sat municipal government should be. His
lie was strictly honest, absolutely non partisan
ind entirely free from fanaticism Large nubl,c
improvements were made, private rights were
respected and Brooklyn became q place whore
people OF all races could at once live in com
fort and take pride in living there Mr.. Low
was then young man. His career since has
