MR. SHEPARD AND THE TRIBUNE.

We are Informed that Mr.. Edward NJ. Shep-
ard Mr. Croker's candidate for Mayor, is ex-
tremely indignant and incensed at what he re-
CARDS as an unfair and unwarranted attack
upon his personal character appearing in the
news columns of The Tribune on Wednesday.
The article in question quoted an account by
one of the Manhattan district leaders Of the
negotiations leading up 10 Mr.. Croker's accept
ance of Mr. Shepard. as follows:
McCarren said that if Croker would leave it
TO Kings to name the man. other than Coler
he felt that Kings would cut loose from the
Controller. Croker agreed to this, and McLaugh-
lin named Shepard. Sullivan, seeing Kings
breaking away from him. and realizing that
he could not win with his handful of Tammany
leaders, assented to Shepard. but not until Kings
County gave pledges that Shepard would treat
Devery all right. Wheth her or not Kings
authorized to make these promises for Shepard
the fact remains that they were made, and Sui
livan accepted them in good faith. Shepard's
direct query to what he would do with Dew
cry if elected are taken by ma- ~ to mean that
the pledge given TO Sullivan was authorized.
We beg 10 assure Mr. Shepard once more that
we do not intend 10 attack his personal char
acter AS we have several times said, we be-
lieve he is of honest intentions. but one
terribly deluded. whether because he IS blinded
by prejudice. ambition and the vision of Great
ing a respectable Democratic party In this city
argument. with which he is so facile in plead
ing the cases of others at the bar of courts and
at the bar of history obtain mastery over his
own reasoning with himself. shall not at
tempt to determine. II Mr.. Shepard will re-
view what he considers libel upon him he will
see that it in no wise impeaches his honor. 1t
states simple facts. 1t did not say that Mr.
Shepard made pledges TO the Red Light lead
ers, but that Tim Sullivan at the time of the
nomination believed that Mr.. Croker's choice
was 'all right" and had received assurances
10 that effect That is true and Tim" Sulli
van himself said So and expressed correspond
ing disappointment and disgust TO Tribune
porter who ventured the opinion to him that
Mr. Shepard not the sort of man who could
be delivered by political managers TO the Red
Light leaders. The Tribune did not say that
any promises were authorized 1t does not be-
lieve they were. Nevertheless, IL is a fact that
certain Tammany leaders thought they had
them. AS for the final sentence concerning Mr..
Shepard's evasion OF questions about Devery.
that is strictly true. People are commenting in
that spirit on his silence. They may be unjust,
they may be uncharitable. but those who do
not know him and believe in his personal honor
in spite of his inconsistencies are saying such
things and Mr.. Shepard ought TO realize IT,
Perhaps he has deluded himself into thinking
that the general phrases OF his acceptance
Devery. But they do not 1t Is not enough
for him TO say that he hates corruption and will
give thoroughly good police administration.
Mr.. Croker will promise to do the same. No
body can outdo the present officials in promises

JAPAN AND NEW-YORK
Scannell:

Japan takes up the burden of prophecy
against New-York Mr.. Nakajima, the eminent
scientific engineer who has supervision OF the
public works Of Toxic, is visiting this country
and has been studying certain engineering and
sanitary conditions in this city. He finds much
to admire especially in features with which the
municipal administration Is not TO be credited
But in two elementary and fundamental re-
spects. in which the municipal government is
directly concerned he regards New-York as
open to grave criticism.
One of these things is disposition of sew
age He finds New-York pouring its colossal
food of foulness directly into harbor which
he regards as. for extent and natural beauty,
the finest in the world. The result Is that the
water of the harbor Is badly polluted. and
dredging is required 10 keep q sufficient depth
for shipping II seems strange TO this Oriental
visitor that we do not otherwise dispose Of our
sewage or at least purify II by chemical proc
esses before pouring It into the harbor The
same view Of the case has been taken by peo-
pie here 1t has often been set forth In these
columns. But the powers that be apparently
consider such improved methods as experiments
still entirely too visionary for New-York TO
make Perhaps one of these days, when Toxic
has set us the example which Paris and other
cities have long been setting, we shall adopt
some better way OF getting rid Of filth than
throwing 1t into our marine dooryard.
The other thing Is our management or our
water supply Mr.. Nakajima has nothing but
admiration for the Croton system as far az IT
goes But It does not go far enough-not as far
for example. ms that of Toxic. Our Japanese
friends have learned to do what scores of cities
in Europe and the United States have for some
time been doing namely, to purify water by
filtration. AS long fifteen years ago Mr..
Nakajima learned 10 do this, and practically
the Japanese capital. But our NewYork prrr
veyors Of water continue to treat us to fluid
favored at times with defunct fish and decay
ing vegetation, and even containing n menace
of typhoid and helplessly regard filtration as
an untried and impracticable thing, which 1t
would be rash for this city to undertake.
We long ago pointed out that Budapest had
underground trolley lines working TO perfection
for years before New York transportation COM
panies in much more favorable circumstances
could he persuaded that such a thing was pOssi
BILE Having thus Jagged behind the Magyars
1t is perhaps only fitting that we should lag be-
hind the Japanese. But for how long? II really
ought 10 be possible for this Western metropolis
to keep within dozen years or so Of the peo-
of men now living. reused out OF medieval
barbarism. Let humbly admit that New
York must he content to learn from Toxic. At
least let II learn, and learn with some degree
of promptness.
