The New Silks.

While in the matter of Silks it's going to be "anything that's effective and pretty" just as it is in coats and wraps. this year, yet there's to be a very strong leaning toward Plaids and Cheeks.
 The green and blue blends are very near the top too. Certain it is that bright Silks will have vogue---Scotch Plaids Silks, whole gowns of Scotch Plaids. a revival of half a century ago, and how these charming things are already selling for waists---Scotch Plaid Silks.

WORK FOR TIE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

ROhh FOE IHE AllOhNEI uGF Eh-AI-
The Attorney General at Albany should i'm
mediately institute quo warranto proceedings
to depose the police captains fraudulently and
Illegally promoted by York and his fellow
Tammany Police Commissioners. The unani-
nous decision of the Appellate Division in the
Second Department points to such proceeding
as the proper one tc right this patent wrong.
With most commendable public spirit Mr.. j.
Warren Greene sought to maintain a taXpay-
er's suit TO set aside the promotions which the
investigation Of the State Civil Service Com
mission clearly showed to have been made in
fragrant violation of the law. \ demurrer on
the part OF the captains was overruled in Special
Term, bur that decision has been reversed by
the Appellate Division. and it is held that the
captains, having been promoted under the form
Of law Mr.. Greene as a taxpayer, has no
standing to contest the payment Of their sala-
ries. The question really involved is their title
20 the Offices, and that must be tested by quo
warranto.
There is not the slightest doubt that the pro-
motions were deliberately fraudulent In the
Investigation by the State Civil Seryice Com
mission Police Commissioners Sexton and
York frankly admitted thet the places were ap-
portioned TO the commissioners as political
patronage, in absolute defiance of the law.
which requires that the promotions be based
on merit to be determined by competitive tests.
In order to promote favortes the records Of
past service Of candidates were jugged and
the Police Commissioners sent to the Municipal
Civil Service Commission a series Of doctored
reports carefully made up so that their prede-
termined favortes should have standing for
promotion while other candidates would be
left behind. Moreover, these doctored reports
were not even in legal form. The law required
that judgment on mems services by their su-
periors be set down in the form of a contem-
porary record of their efficiency and that this
record should be certified to the Civil Service
board. No such course was followed The
certificates sent forward were created off
hand by the commissioners without regard TO
previous department reports The commission
ers maliciously rated as "poor" men whose
work, shown the department books was
uniformly excellent and they rated their
favorites as excellent" Notwithstanding con-
trary facts. and then they certified that this
rating was made from the records in compliance
with law. The testimony presented conclusive
~ established a violation of the Civil Service
law. and the State Commission reported that
eleven Of the sixteen captains promoted from
sergeants held their offices as the result of
gross irregularities and violation of the statute
The State Commission. though Ii officially
declared that the promotions were Illegal. had
itself no power TO invalidate them. That can
only be done by the courts. and il rests with
the Attorney General TO take the appropriate
proceeding TO secure such judgment The eff
forts OF the present city administration to ex
tirnate blackmail have been greatly hampered
