JUDGE COCHRAN
DENIES CHARGE
Says That He Did Not Re
nit Any Fines for Par
tisan Purposes

Edwin r. Cochran, Judge Of the Mu-
ndcipal Court gave out the following
interview this morning regarding the
remitting of fines in the City Court:
In relation to the article printed
this morning in the Morning News,
with respect to some Of my acts in the
City Court, l wish to say that it is en-
tirely without foundation. | have re-
mitted some fines on persons on sew
eral occasions, when it was represented
to me that they were parties whose
cases were worthy of consideration,
and which has been a custom in the
City Court for some years hack. But
in relation to my remitting any fines
on persons for partisan purposes, it is
untrue.
In respect to my having imposed
heavy fines On cOlcred men, the early
part of the week, l will say that they
justly deserved every dollar of fine that
I imposed upon them, the officers and
prosecuting officials around the court
having represented to me that they
were colored men from the South, or
from some other locality, who had
come to this city and had caueed them
a great amount of unnecessary trouble.
The assaults were aggravated in every
Instance. and one or two of the men
that l heavily fed were dismissed at
the morning session of court for lack
Of evidence to convict them, and be-
fore they had been dismissed two
hours, they had committed another
aggravated assault on colored man.
and were consequently arrested and
brought back at the evening session Of
court and heavily fined by me, which
thing they justly deserved am sat
istied that anyone else reasonable and
fair knowing the Circumstances sur
rounding the cases would be Of the
same cOnclusion."
Assistant City Solicitor Phillip L.
: Garrett had the following to say on
the subject:
Il have been there all the time that
Judge Cochran has. and have never
I known him to fine anyone heavily for
partisan purposes, nor have I seen him
remit any fines on account Of politics. u

A qEARFuL FAREWELL

Hat Addicks decided TO drop out Of
the game? This WAS the question on
many lips yesterday. The general i'm
preston was that he had not, since
,Addicks said he had. We must con-
Cess that we reached our conclusions
through scme such process. But
whether Addlcks is out or in, his days
Of bossism In this State are numbered.
II took a great many years for the
gorge Of men to risa, but at last the dose
has proved too much.
And now that he has passed, or is
passing, what has he accomplished
How shall we regard his memory in
future years. What win the coming
generations think Of him? Many an
unpleasant epithet will be attached to
his name Those who once followed
him will content themselves with the
best apologies they can construct, and
in the years that are 10 come old mer
will gather their children about theil
knees and whisper the tale OF how on'
man tried TO buy State.
And they will tell that he failed, AM
Of how he contributed TO his final over
throw by a series Of reckless blunder
and brutal acts They will draw les
son from this and it will be wholesome
They will conclude that Proyidenc
has 50 arranged things that when d'
cent men fail TO conquer rascality, ra'
oality turns fool and hastens its ow
doom.
Addicks' name in politics spells fai
ure. He has claimed everything an
accomplished nothing His success OH
been altogether negative, Instead
succeeding in his plans, he has divid
Republicans, engendered strife, ma
corrupt political practices commo

our shame for years.

EnIzARErH oApY STANTON


Elizabeth Cady Stanton lived long
enough to gain the esteem OF the pub
lie, and to win for the cause of which
she was the leader and exponent re-
spectful consideration. The right OF
woman to the ballot is admitted in
many States, and nowhere is it regard
ed as a subject for jest and sneeers. And,
yet, there was time in her career
when her appeals were heard with de-
rision and a respectful hearing was
not accorded her. Her very appearance
on the platform was the signal for jeers,
and pople refused TO listen because sha
was woman. But all that has passed,
and in her later years Mrs Stanton re-
ceived from audiences. legislatures and
committees uniform courtesy and at
tention.
Whether the gospel that she preached
is sound, is yet a debatable question.
shall we have a manhood suffrage
shall all adults be allowed TO vote and
shall the franchise be still further re-
saricted, are questions upon which there
is variety Of opinion. Certain It ap-
pears that II the ballot lacks virtue
nothing can be gained simply by ex-
tending IL. II there are abuses arising
from a ballot in the hands Of one-hal
the people, would the evils be less if
were extended to the other half? Mrs
stanton argued in the affirmative, hold
ing that woman has higher ideals thai
man and that she is less open to tn
lsinister influences which surround th
voter, than is man.
But she made her plea on highe
ground, claiming that woman had a
inherent right to participate in the a
fairs Of government, and that TO den
her was a species of tyranny that ha
? only force for its justification 81
lived to find most of her ideas accep
n ed in the abstract, but the great Ol
stacle in the way Of a realization
+ her hopes was the general indiferen'
d OF women. A vast majority of ths
S did not, and do not want the ballC
u and the idea Of taking upon ther
d selves the active duties Of full citize
lie ship is repugnant to them. But MI
d Stanton has helped to accomplish an il
le portant thing. She has helped to Il
the subject OF woman's rights to a pla
b. where it may have respectful and ju,
a. cial treatment. She has done well.

Inc Benches


Amid the park trees falling gear
The benches hudde. dank and drear.
Faded their nvely verual green.
Like to the leaves that formed their
screen.
Yet stin the benchers keep their pace
Cleaying each to his chosen space.
Maugre the rush OF the driving rain,
Maugre the cold, with a dull disdain.
OF what the sky or the wind may bring
C.ose crouched down to their own they
cling.
This is for each his only bed.
This is. the place where he breaks hi,
bread
Here he orders his only wear,
Here he reckons with Grief and Care
What call is there for him 10 roam?
Ihis is all he has of home.
Who shall say what these benches
know?
Who shall measure the want and woe!
The want and woe-and the inert life
That lacks the spirit to brave the strife
That each must brave who would win
the goal
And wiring from the teeming world his

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Politician Liked Onions

A prominent West Side politician
who is very fond Of green onions, had
an experience recently. which caused
considerable amusement for a Twelfth
ward worker, a candidate for sheriff
and a newspaper man. The tour were
visiting a friend and while the latter
was absent from the room the politi-
clan espied what he presumed was a
green onion. Without ceremony he
helped himself to salt and began
munching with evident relish. but be-
fore he had proceeded far in the pro-
cess of masticadon, the scullion, >
finely cheweh up, found its way into a

The Presidents Success

From n. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
Nothing surprising in volume and
.heartliness the chorus Of praise which
comes from all quarters for President
Roosevelt because Of his success in set
thing the coal strike has ever been
heard In this country. 1t comes from
men and newspapers OF all politics and
OF no politics, and is as unstinted as il
is spontaneous. And this is the man
of whose ''impulsiveness" so many q
our calmest thinkers stood in dread
when he came into the Presidency He
has been in office one year. and the net
result is that he is hailed by his coun-
TRY and by the civilized world as ;
peacemaker and rs the foremost con
lscrvator of his time. And he has ac
complished this by the simple process
Of doing what he thought was righ
without regard TO consequences, eithe

Punishment by Troxy
From tho New York Tribune,

From the New York Tribune
II is an old custom in China to pun
ish high officials vicaTiously when it is
not desired to punish them in their
proper persons; that is, they catch a
peasant or other socially and officially
inconsiderable pigtail and cut his head
on on behalf of the delinquent whose
ever he may happen TO be, and the
said delinquent, thus constructively
punished, thereafter goes forth purged
of all his transgressions. This was
done in the case OF the officials OF Ho-
Nan province in which two English
missionaries were murdered not lons
ago. and now the British Minister al
Peking declines to go to court because
of this wicked and fragrant miscarriage
OF justice. A few more heads may b'
cut on to appease this oversensitive Of
| fetal as the Chinese no doubt regarC
him, but there is little reason TO sup
pose that they win be the right ones.

An Irish woman was looking at re-
frigerators in housefIrnishing store.
some weeks ago. After examining into
the merits and qualities OF a number
of them, she purchased the one that
the salesman assured her would keep
food the best Some days afterward,
the woman called and requested them
to take that refrigerator back, as it
would not keep anything better than
the kitchen safe or the cellar. The
salesman mildly suggested that pos
sibly she had not put enough ice in It
to keep the things cold. 'iEnOugh ice in
it, Why, you are crazy, mon; don't
put any ice in it. Anything will keep
cold if you put ice in it. l bought the

There is one thing suspicious about
the alleged retiremenh Of Addicks: he
was so anxious TO have the newspapers
publish it. A faithful lieutenant who
has been his messenger on several oc-
casions, and who as a reward is one
Of the nominees for the Legislature
from this city, was called in, and the
news was placed in his hands. He gave
il 20 the world and the world smiled
and winked its other eye People said
that II the "old man" had decided to
efface himself, he had had a golden op-
portunity few days ago, and that by
actually withdrawing at that time, Del
aware might have had two Republican
United States senators and Republi-
can congressman. 1t is just possible,
OF course, that AddiclSs prefers TO re-
tire, not when he cain do the most good.
but when he can leave his party
stranded, but in the end It will make
little difference, as It will emphasize
the dangers OF bossism.

Hot Political Argument

Secretary Of State Caleb r. Layton
and "CaI' Swain had a peculiar expert
ence on a Delaware railroad train yes
terday morning, which was the result
of an argument over politics. Secre-
tary Layton is an Addicks leader in
SUSSEX. county, while Mr. Swain is a
stauneh Regular Of the same county.
The two men met on the Delaware
road train due here about 10 O'Clock
in the morning. They engaged In con-
versation. which in short time lead
to q discussion of the present political
situation. In the argument which fol-
lowed both men became so much OK
oited that they got in the wrong car,
and were taken to Newark before they
realized their mistake.
After waiting a short time at New
ark, they caught train for this city.
All OF this time, however, the argument
had continued, an6 the two men had
become more excited. A short time
after they left the train at French
street station Mr.. Layton discovered
that he had left his oyercoat in the
car. The train had pulled out and an
effort is now being made TO recover the
coat

Sparro@s Flrd Rice

There are many tame sparrows
around French street station that get
almost their entire sustainance from
newly married couples. That may seem
peculiar to some, but hardly a day
passes that several couples just launch
ing upon the matrimonial sea do not
leave the station and the little birds
flock around the merry parties picking
the rice that has been thrown upon
those just starting upon their honey
moon. The birds do not seem afraid
of the crowds, jumping and chipping
among them, seemingly as happy as
any member of the party. There is
quite colony of the little fellows and
they appear as if by magic when the
rice throwing commences. AT other
times they are very seldom seen about
the station.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
A Weak Spot in the Trusts

From the London Spectator.
There are two or three weak places
in the American trusts OF today. One
but little noticed, which was pointed
out no us some years ago by one of the
earlier millionaires, is that they rather
oyertax the brain power available for
their management 1t is very hard.
even for a State, to obtain a succession
or great statesmen, and these vast bus
inesses demand as much mental Ca
pacity, and more seduluOus and harass-
ing attention. Their owners have
therefore to pay enormous sums for
competent management, sums often ten
times those paid to statesmen, and are
liable even to pick the wrong men,
while they themselves become constant
ly victims to nervous and cardiac dis
orders. They do not last like the
and owing TO difficulties OF
health the do not gain, as the states
men do, the full benefit of their ex-
perience. Money worries are very
harassing, but no fortunes will keep a
man in full mental strength if a doc
tor has to sc him twice a day. AS the

tuberculosis

From the Washington Star.
The chief task before the sanitarians
who are engaged in this long fight
against consumption is to educate the
public. People must be taught first
the direct communicability Of the dis
case; next tine ease with which the
germs can be scattered through care
.lessness; next the necessity for i'm
mediate reports TO the authorities
whenever the disease Is idnetifed, and
finally the submission of the patient to
the care of the State, either directly in
institutions established for that pur-
pose, or indirectly through the agency
of physicians designated by the au-
thorities.

From the Baltimore American.
president Roosevelt will miss an ex-
cellent opportunity TO serve the coun-
try if he fails to embody in his forth
coming message to Congress a recon-
mendation for the passage Of labor
law. Congress is not, of course, en-
powered to deal directly with capital
and labor, and to enforce recognition
of the relative rights of each; but il
can go long way towards making am
other strike, sucn as that just ending

result in a very simple manner. Let it

RoBEnrsoN ANp TnE TACK

We have received a letter in which
the writer says:
VIII you please tell your readers
what you mean by your references to
Mr.. Robertson yesterday in your edi-
torial, about that gentleman getting
tired or having a mouthful of tacks
constantly al number of my friends
tell me that they have heard these ref
erences before, and would like to know
Just what they mean.-Tacks.
We hasten to oblige our correspond-
ent, and give the story as it is general
ly told. When Mr.. Robertson was
nominated for representative, he was
working in the upholstery department
at Jackson and Shanp's. He was de-
lighted, and exclaimed to his fellow
workingmen that soon he would be
elected and then he would be done go
ing around with a/mouthful OF tacks.
His hopes were realized, and when he
began to draw a salary OF $500 every
other year, but few tacks passed his
mouth.
Now there are those who think that
mans worth should not he so re-
pulsive that he has to fee to politics
for refuge The honest labOring man
need not be ashamed OF his labor since
IL is honorable, and necessary. It
should not be repulsive, either, and
the man who turns from honest labor
and seeks perpetual office as a refuge,
is not the kind OF man to entrust with

might be said, but this is enough.
