Mr. Jerome in Arms.
He Gives the Tiger Fair Warning That
He Is Hostile

he Gives the Tiger FAIR warning mat
He Is Hostile
Mr.. jerome is quoted as having
made some very vigorous statements
on the subject of the election. TIE
public rather expected that he would,
and he has not disappointed it. He
says that if Tammany expects to have
a wide open town it will be greatly
disappointed that he will do all in
his power 10 enforce the law, even if
he has to borrow from private funds
to do it, and that if New York city
likes TO see its district attorney using
private money to enforce the law it
viii undoubtedly have that pleasure.
In short, he has given the Tiger warn
ing that he is on the warpath.
1t remains to be seen how a.ueh
Mr.. Jerome viii be able to do to
carry out his promises. The Tiger is
q formidable beast for one man to
attack, and in the present situation
Mr.. Jerome is practically alone. If
he succeeds in doing anything he will
prove himself man of sagacity and
force.
The personality of Mr.. Jerome Is
one of the most marked in New York
today. He is a man to be well loved
OF well hated. In many respects he
resembles President Roosevelt. Both
men have that aggressiveness, that
bulldog pluck, and that fearlessness
Of consequences of which we are wont
&c be proud as characteristics of our
race The public has been keenly
watching both for some years now, IN
search Of some flaw in their honesty
of purpose, and the flaw has not been
found.
The reputation of Mr.. Jerome, like
that Of Mr.. Roosevelt, rests largely
on his honesty. He cannot deviate
from this line Of conduct without
wreeking himself politically There
is no reason to suppose that ne viii.
In these circumstances, it might seem
no great task to be honest. But it
must be remembered that the man
whose ideal is absolute civic honesty
is likely to be confronted now and
then with some emergency in which,
If he decided according to his con-
victions, he may lose his reputation
for good judgment.
1t does not take much to ruin
mans career when he gets up into the
hmelight. Mr.. Jerome takes the risk
of being considered a Don Quixote
when he makes speeches such as the
one quoted, and in New York that IS
70 ineonsiderable risk. Men of fear
less sincerity are not so common as
yet that We shall enjoy seeing them
thrown out of power. Let it be hoped
that the peoples faith in Mr.. Jer-
ONES sincerity will give them alse
faith in his wisdom, and that his
pluck may be rewarded by power to
make his blows tell.

In the recent municipal contest IN New
York there was one precinct which
Mayor Low carried unanimously. al
though his majority there was only one.
That one vote was the only ballot
cast in the precinct for the good and
sufficient reason that there Is only 4
solitary voter within It's bounds. Last
year there were more than I'VE hundred
voters IN the precinct. but since that
time the Pennsylvania Railroad has
purchased practically all the property
within the precinct and has torn down
the buildings. The one resident Is 2

Estates Seized by Turks.

II seems that in the course OF the Tur-
kish invasion, in the early part Of the
sixteenth century. the Turks seized the
Tisza estates. When the Turks were
driven out Of the country the lands, In
stead OF being restored to their original
owners, were coolly appropriated BY one
OF the victorious generals. the Royal
Duke OF Modena. The T9sza OF the day.
LadisIas by name, sought redress In the
courts, and obtained a judgment in his
favor 1t was carried from one court
to another in appeal until, after having
obtained at least two dozen decisions, all
of them in favor of the Tiszas. the
grandsons of old Ladislas finally brought
the matter before the so-called Royal
Curia, which, In those days. constituted
the supreme tribunal OF the kingdom,
and without the sanction OF which the
decree of the lower courts could not be
executed.
AS the lands had now passed from the
hands OF the Duke OF Modena into
those Of the imperial house OF Hapsburg.
siie judges were naturally disineIined to
take any steps in the matter. Nothing
daunted, the Tiszas took 1t in turn TO sit
day after day from morning until night
a. the entrance OF the Judgment han of
the curia, never permitting one Of the
judges OF the latter TO enter or leave
the place without apOstrophizing him
with the exclamation, viii you not
kindly take my case into consideration ?"

Became a Nightmare.

This toward the end OF a couple Of
years ended by becoming such a per-
feet nightmare TO the Judges that they
finally appealed in despair 10 the En-
press Maria Theresa, threatening 10
resign in a body unless they were freed
from this species OF persecution. The
Empress, seeing that the Tiszas had the
right on their side, and that public
sentiment in Hungary was all in their
favor, the confiscation of their estates
by the Duke OF Modena being regarded
as a typical piece OF Austrian tyranny
and spoliation. opened up negotiations
with the family, and in consideration
of withdrawing their plea and their
claims as far as the courts were con
eerned. conferred upon them a num-
Der OF crown lands. comprising the viii
lagos Of Geszt and Mezo Cyan, as well
as immense tracts Of ''pusta." as the
Erairies are called In Hungary These
lands remain in the possession OF the
Tiszas today.
The present chief Of the family is
Count stephen. who FAs just been ap-
pointed premier. He IS a man OF about
FORTY years OF age and much more
careful Ia MS dress than his llustrious
father. The latter was, without ex-
ception. the most shabbily dressed man
whom 1 have ever known TO hold high
Office. and it was rather on account
of his threadbare Hungarian costume
than by reason OF his revolutionary an
tecedonts that, when prime minister OF
Hungary. he was nicknamed at the
Court OF Vienna as "SchOberi." that
being the patronymic OF the most
famous bandit leader in the annals Of
Hungary.
