lavish hand in his fight for political
leadership, and he is spending 1t in
ways which throw new responsible
ties on ambitious local politicians.
While Mr.. Sheehan pretends to be con-
fined by sickness to his residence in
the fashionable watering place, Long
Branch, he reads no doubt each sue
ceeding day Mr.. Devery's altogether
original characterization of him,
through which he is presented to the
view of the local residents as some
thing of a fakir, and a thrifty person
who follows politics simply to line his
individual pocketbook. Here, for in
stance, is one Of Devery's Chester
feldian sentences as applied to Mr..
Sheehan: when it comes to loosenin'
up with dollar, he's the weakest prop
osition ever met. Nothin' closer thar
John Sheehan ever existed. And I'd like
to bet that he'll never come up from
Long Branch until after primary day."
Big Bill Devery will probably win out
tainly ought to. The known character
of some of the politicians who have
declared against him since he nailed
Sheehan to the political counter as
clearly enough that Devery is far from
being as black as his enemies paint
him.

Meanwhile, the average American
man and woman knows more about
coal and coal mining than ever before,
whether or not the knowledge Will
prove of any immediate value. They
may have had some vague notion that
perhaps the commonwealth - repre-
scented by American society In the mass
might be said to have some interest,
If not positive ownership, in the fuel
deposits of Pennsylvania Now, we all
know, on the expert authority Of those
who "own" the mines and the fuel they
contain, that neither the public, nor
individuals, the miners, nor the politi-
clans. or anybody else, have anything
at all to say which they are bound to
pay any attention to, as to when or
how, or under what conditions, or at
what prices, anthracite coal shall be
mined, or whether it shall be mined at
all.
This item Of knowledge Is the most
valuable outcome thus far for the
country of the existing unfortunate
condition of affairs. All enlightened
Americans, and, no doubt, many who
do not pass as particularly enlightened,
will appreciate it at it's full value.

BILL pEvERY's FIGHT,

To the man who finds any charm in
the game Of politics, there Is contest
now in progress in Greater New York
which possesses infinite interest. 1t Is
the contest which arises out Of the am
bition of the last Tammany chief of
police to take his place among the local
leaders Of that organization. Devery's
appearance as a candidate for ward
leadership has been thoroughly pictur-
esque from the outset, and he has de-
veloped measure Of originality. both
in political nomenclature and political
management, which takes him clearly
out of the ordinary class Of common
place self seeking ward politicians.
Thus far the only serious tactical
mistake which Devery seems to have
made is involved in his open attack on
the character Of one Of his opponents,
a politician named Sheehan, to whom
Croker would never allow any standing
in the Tammany organization, and
whose career in the same character in
the city of Buffalo does not seem to
recommend him as in any sense a de-
sirable man. Devery has revived Shee-
hans reputation while he was a resi-
dent of Buffalo, and the result seems to
have put Sheehan out Of the running
in the prevailing three-sided contest.
Devery's mistake consists in the evil
dence he has given in his attacks on
Sheehan, that the good name Of no
professional politician, however INDUS
trious, who might be brought into con-
fidential relations with him, would be
safe in his custody. Accordingly many
Tammany politicians of influence have
taken sides against him.
Tanmany's downfall was due in
greatest measure to Devery. His ad-
ministration of the police department
whether he was an independent factor
as chief, or merely acted as the dummy
of others, was the leading factor in the
defeat which drove Tammany from the
city offices, and placed Mayor Low in
power. He is spending monay with

A SERIOUS MATTER.

It is the newspaper fashion to have
fun with Senator Mason, Of Illinois.
| That gentleman has said and done
many things during his career which
have appeared as legitimate subjects OF
funmaking. He has also said and done
not a few things which were good in
themselves, but which were conven-
iently passed over, in most cases with
out comment.
Senator Mason's last appearance is
evidently no laughing matter. He
plainly charges the governor Of the
state of Illinois with corrupt practices.
He does not speak by innuendo or with
equivocation. He speaks with full
knowledge of the meaning Of his words,
and of their significance as coming
from senator Of the United States,
representing the state whose governor
he assails.
OF course, this is to some extent a
family feud among the Republican
brethren of Illinois, and one with which
T h G o b e, or any other Democratic
newspaper would not feel called on to
concern itself, if it possessed no other
significance. But the party feud in
volved is the least important consider
alton from the public point Of view.
The real, and, indeed, the only impor-
lance which 1t possesses 1t derives
from the charge Of corruption in office
made by senator against governor.
From that charge Gov. Yates cannot
get away. He cannot ignore 1t as a
man of honor. AS decent public Off
cial he must take steps to disprove it.
Having charged Gov. Yates and his
friends with diverting 100000 of state
funds, Senator Mason proceeds thus to
fasten the charge on the Illinois exec
utive official: IT know what he has
done with part of this money. 1t was
used to corrupt the primary ballot box
of our party in at least forty counties
to secure the state convention indorse-
ment of Yates and Hopkins"
Language could not be palmer. 1t is
attended by the statement that Gov.
Yates dares not to submit to examina-
ton as to the facts, since his accuser
is possessed of names, facts and fig
ures bearing on the corrupt transact
tons involved.
Gov. Yates may think that he can
continue to ignore this charge of cor
ruption in Office thus made against him,
and charge that the animus Of 1t is so
plainly political bitterness that he is
not called on to answer it. Any such
view will not be shared in by the peo-
pie of Gov. Yates state, or by any hon.
est American of any party, in or out
side of the state of Illinois.
