How and Why Tammany Thrived.

A book by Alfred Henry Lewis, en-
titled THE Boss and How He Came
to Rule New York" throws some in
teresting lights on the methods where
by Richard Croker and the district
leaders in Tammany Hall nave man
aged to accumulate millions. AS q
study in scientific graft it leaves little
to be learned, apparently. The publ
cation is timely. for the people OF New
York can decide today with their eyes
open whether they wish to be governed
by honest men or by thieves.
Every year according to the author.
there was made a whole valuation of
personal property Of nine billions of
dollars in round numbers. Within
three months of the making of this
valuation it would be reduced to less
than one billion ION the wcrd of in
dividuals who made the law-required
oaths." and it is intimated that those
whose tax bills were reduced contrib
uted in proportion to the welfare of
the machine"
AS showing what opportunities of
riches swung open to the machine" it
is pointed out that the whole annual
expense of the community was roughly
SIPS .O0O, 900. of which s2O,OOOOOO went
for official salaries, $45, 900. 900 for sup
plies called for by public needs, the
balance Of $50 900. 900 representing con-
tracts for paving. building and the
like.
Against the twenty millions for sal
aries the machine" assessed an annu-
al private" per cent. and two-thirds
OF the million accruing therefrom
found their direct way to district
leaders. the other one third into the
general Golfers

plies" says Mr.. Lewis. "one-fifth, I'M

the machine while of the SOS, O00, coo
representing the yearly payments on
contracts. the machine received at the
lowest estimate. fully 40 per cent"
Mr.. Lewis tells of the organization
of a guaranty company which bonded
the officials, contractors and those who
furnished supplies. The annual charge
was 2 per cent on the sum guaran-
teed, and as the aggregate carried ap-
proximately s1OO.OOO.OOO the intake was
annually about $1,000, 600, being for
the most part profit IN the fingers of
the machine"
The writer enumerates faro banks,
pool rooms and disordetly resorts
where the monthly charge for each
ran from $50 to $4,000 giving an an
nual return of $4.OOO.O 600: saloons, each
of which met a draft of $40 monthly:
great companies suing for favor and
about 1000 small concerns and private
persons contributing no less than ST.

lice force ranged from $500 for pa

Indian Camera Fieuds.

For years and years-ever since the
transcontinental railways were con-
structed through the territory-the
noble red man Of the forest. his squaw
and his papooses. have been the long
suffering victims of the camera fiends.
At every station where a group of In
dams could be seen a battery of cam
eras was turned upon them from the
trains. For a long time the savages
suffered in silence. but at last they
have turned camera shooters them
selves. According to our esteemed
weekly contemporary. the Mohave
County Miner The Wallapai Indians
are probably the first of the untutored
tribes of the west to take TO the kodak.
In and around Kingman many of the
bucks and squaws row carry cameras
and have jolly time getting views of
Indian camp life and the beautiful and
rugged outlines TO be found in the
lava beds. Jesse Tarr, the young King
man photographer. has been teaching
the Indians the use OF the camera and
many of the pupils now finish their
own pictures in good shape. 1t will be
but short time until the Indians ped
die Photographic novelties to the tour

Next. We suppose, we shall hear OF
the Wallapais flocking around the
trains and paying passengers two bits
each for the privilege of snapshot at
the palefaces. But what is to become
of the eastern superstition that the In
juns in Arizona are terribly ferocious
