Croker "Out for Good ~

Richard Croker continues to send word
10 New York that he is through with nu-
nicipal politics. Yesterday Maurice Inter
meyer, one Of his close friends, returned
from England and announced that he met
n1r- Croker at EPSON and was there told
by the Squire of Vantage that he had
done enough in Manhattan politics having
Been all his friends put in good places. He
rould not see why they should expect him
70 do more now. This puts a new light on
Croker He was in politics, therefore sole
~ Tor the benefit of his friends. He Is not
even as slightly selfish as the famed Grol-
Ter, who had his beautiful books inscribed
For Grolier and His Friends" But is this
the same Mr.. Croker who dehantly declared
before New York investigating committee
That he was for his own pocket all the
time?" Where were his friends then?
Where, indeed, are they now? They are
not in good positions. They are not lining
their own pockets as in the old days He
Did In truth put them in, but he lost the
pght which was waged by him to keep
Them there They trusted in him They
recognized him as boss, or leader If that
gentler term pleases better. He failed
and went away to leave them to bear alone
the chagrin Of removal and to patch up the
pieces of the once triumphant machine
No, this attitude is not char acteristic
Either Mr. Croker, fattening upon the milk
ef his Vantage cows, is growing lazy and
eontented, or he is assembling The dec
laration that he now has no connection
Whatever with Tammany Hall can not be
accepted at face value. Mr.. Croker runs a
fisk of drawing forth from Mr.. Devery,
Who is holding epigrammatic soirees nightly
t the pump in the ninth New York dis
trict definition taking place along with
the names sport" Two Spot and
EJoke,' with which ne made the members
pf the now crumbling triumvirate Of lead
prs' so ridiculous before the community
Would the Squire relish being told by his
pnce great and good friend the ex-chief Of
police, that he is a -four flush?

His Ambition.

There was an actress once who wed
A gilded, gushing youth.
A mad and merry dance he led,
He pawned her gems, in sooth!
And they were widely interviewed.
Abroad and over here.
She sighed, How can you be so ruder'
Quoth he, It's business, dear.
My antics are not ill-advised,
My name full oft you scan;
And. when I'm amply advertised,
Ill be your leading man"

The Meat Retailers Remedy.

The retail butchers and meat dealers OF
the country, in convention here, suggest
two general lines of remedy for the ills
ascribed to the operations of the so-called
beef trust. One Is to take the tariff of
meat and food products, and the other is
for the state or federal government to pay
q bounty on cattle raised by private in
terests, not in the trust. Both Of these
suggestions are drawn from the long list
Of propositions which have in general
terms been addressed to the question of
the best methods of regulating the trusts
of all kinds. The bounty on live cattle, 1t
is urged. will increase the supply and SO
lessen the likelihood of corner in the
stock by the trust. But there is a decided
objection in this country to bounties of all
kinds. Just how the farmers Of the west
would regard this plan, in the light Of
their repeated refusals to indorse similar
propositions for the aid of other branches
of agriculture and industry, is an interest
ing question. The removal of the tariff on
meats and food products would, of course,
not let In any material amount of foreign
raised meats. The countries of Europe now
import the greater part of their meat sup
plies, while those of South America now
engaged in grazing are unable to enter the
American market in such force as to dis
turb values here. But the lowering of the
tariff is moral force. 1t Is proposed in
the case Of steel products, despite the fact
that this country Is today the heaviest ex-
porter of steel goods In the world.
The would-be solvers of this problem
trend Immediately upon the question Of
tariff revision, now one of the most difficult
of practical issues in the present state
of politics in this country. The attitude Of
the retailers and dealers is sufficiently de-
fined, however short of results their ef-
forts may prove to be, to show that they
are with the consuming public in the fight
for cheaper foods. They suffer first in any
squeeze between the consumer and the
trust. The former does for time without
a part of his ordinary diet and the latter
for the same time without q part Of It's
profits. The middleman's trade meanwhile
dwindles to disappearance, and having
few If any other resources, he is forced into
bankruptcy or a change of occupation.
Naturally, therefore, he is vitally inter-
ested in securing change in the price cur
rent of meats as far as that change is war
ranted by the natural conditions of the
trade. Nothing Is said by the retailers in
convention to indicate that their desire for
a reform is based upon a theoretical oppo-
sition to trusts. They are fighting in self
defense. They stand for the principle that
food prices are governed by natural laws,
and that the present rise in those prices Is
artificial and is not accompanied by JUS
tifyins and permitting increase in the in
comes of the people.

Lynchers Denounced.
From the Richmond Times.

The Times is gratified to know that Gov.
Montague and the Loudoun county authori-
ties are after the members of the mob
which recently lynched states prisoner
at Leesburg. There was no sort Of excuse
for this act Of the mob. The man was in
the custody Of the law and he would have
been tried In due course. But the mob
would not have it so. 1t wanted to kill a
man, and 1t carried its savage purpose into
effect, In defiance of the authorities and in
utter contempt Of law. The men who did
this thing should be punished to the fun
extent of the law for their crime They
ought to be made to understand that In
this state the law Is supreme and cannot
be trampled under foot with impunity.

Dangerous Conditions in Pennsylvania

The situation at Shenandoah, Pa, where
troops of the state guard are stationed in
the interests of peace, Is described in the
news dispatches as strained almost to the
breaking point. The foreigners among the
strikers are openly defiant of the soldiers
and have committed several overt acts in
dicative of a desire to draw the troops into
conflict. The result of such an encounter
can be imagined without difficulty. There
would be bloodshed on both sides, but with
the strikers suffering the more severely
and with the speedy proclamation Of mar
tial law. leading perhaps to the early col
lapse of the strike.
The state Of case there throws some
light on the methods Of the strike leaders.
