A FOOLISH REMARK.

Referring to the proceedings begun by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome to determine the legal
accountability CT the last Tammany Dock
Board for its action In leasing piers and dump
ing board privileges at rates highly profitable
TO the lessees and disadvantageous to the city,
Charles F. Murphy. member Of that board
and present leader of Tammany Hall, made
this statement the other day: Jerome might
"get I'D John Doe proceedings against a couple
''of heads Of departments In this admintstra-
"tion and find more wrongdoing than he can
find by digging into the Van Wyck admins
"tration One of the departments I refer TO is
"the present Dock Department Precisely
such n retort as that was to be expected from
q Tammany magnate in an awkward situation
There is a confident air about it. and it is sub
stantially silly. If Mr.. Murphy knew that
Commissioner Hawkes. was abusing his power,
whether by criminal merely profiigate acts,
he would not give the District Attorney
roundabout invitation to look the matter up
The strongest emotion of the Tammany man
ayers at this moment is longing TO get hold
Of ammunition for use against the Low admin
istration and if a couple Of departments were
at their mercy they would never relinquish the
privilege of producing an explosion.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Murphy is cher
ishing a bitter wrath against Commissioner
Hawkes., who has not only made convincing
exposure of one of the ways in which Tam
many enabled its favOrites to prey on the city
but by demonstrating the actual value Of pier
leases and privileges has made restoration Of
the system Of graft" in that department diff
cult. It is extremely awkward for men who
may see some solemn sessions in court before
them to have it shown that responsible com
petitors are glad TO pay from two to ten times
as much for piers and dumping boards as their
own TammaHy schedule exacted- 1t is mourn
full thing for everybody who has hoped to profit
by another period of Tammany government TO
have even one rich source of revenue rendered
less accessible.

trarv If seems more probable that i've years
hence the Socialists will sweep the Whoie en-
pire almost as thoroughly as they no" nave
the kingdom of Saxony
That is. unless something is done TO turn tue
tide: If anything can be done which seems proo-
able Repression will not do, of course mat
has been tried with most unsatisfactory re-
suits But the hope of anti-Sociaiists hes' OF
shouId lie in the fact that the majority OF 80
ciaIists are at present reformers rather thah
reyolutionists Some Of them are EXTREMISTS
who would instantly abolish the throne ana
make an equal division of all property. But
there are not many such. The average SO
called Socialist in Germany is far less radlcai
than his American namesake, by whom, In
deed he would probably be regarded as con-
sentative The German Socialists are chiefly a
party of protest. They are protesting not
against the monarchy, but against the ABUSES
of the monarchical system. If these ABUSES
were reformed they would be satisfied Ihey
would probably, the great majority of them, be
quite content with some such governmental sys-
tenn as that which exists in England. But IT
their protests are not needed, and If their de-
mands for reform are not granted they VIII
steadily grow more and more extreme untli
they become outright revolutionists. In that
consideration is seen the peril of "lalssez fa1re
and in it is also the most pertinent sug-
gestion for governmental action for the avert
ing OF the Socialist menace.

ELECTRICITY ON THE CENTRAL.

The mans which the New York Central has
adonted professionally for the use of electricity
ON IFS lines. and which were outlined exclusively
IN The Tribune's columns yesterday, will re-
ceive enthusiastic approval from the travelling
1ublic They indicate an intention TO bring ex-
presses AS well as local trains into the city ny
means Of the new motive power, the snbsutu-
zion of electric motors for steam engines taking
1,lacc at Croton Landing. on the Hudson d.
vision and Mt White Plains, on the Harlem
road Provision is thus TO he made for the COM
plete abolition of smoke. cinders and foul gases
in the Park-aye tunnel. No reference is made
10 the New-Haren service in the programme
because. IS is already well known. this will be
cared for otherwise. 1t is an open secret that
the New-HaveB road intends TO construct
bridge near He'll Gate connecting its Port
Morris branch with the Long Island Railway
and with the East River tunnel Of the Pennsyl-
1ania road. IT will then no longer need the
Tortv-second- st. terminal. No doubt all of these
improvements will he contaminated at practi-
calIy the same time; and there is a gratifying
assurance that the Central will display the ut
most energy in the performance of its share Of
The beneflcent work
One proba BILE consequence of initiating the
new system will be the Encouragement of di-
other on through trains from Buffalo at SYRIA
ciyse and Albany In the future slightly longer
runs will be made with each locomotive, and
the only substitution viii be effected at Utica

service and the beginning Of the electric d.

his staff will add practically nothing TO the

an apparent Increase on the Harlem division by

trieslly By the abandonment of roundhouses

cities viii be wrought though this viii be more
serious for Albany than for Syracuse. The Cen

prosch in the present prospect, however much

prive Albany of her unique political importance.
Another obvious result Of the CentTals plan
is that IL will pave the way 10 the use of cleo

THE GERMAN SOCIALISTS

The expectation concerning the German cleo
ton which was expressed in these columns has
been amply fulfilled. The Socialists have al
most swept the country. They have swept
Saxony, polling clear ma jority of all the votes
and electing certainly eighteen of twenty-three
members, with good chance of electing the
other five on a second ballot. In the whole EN-
pire they have increased their vote by nearly
80 per cent in five years, polling In the neigh
borhood of 100000 votes against only 2,107, 900
in 1898 Thus they not only, as before, the
most numerous OF all parties, but they are ap-
proxmating TO the strength of all other parties
put together. The gross inequalities of appor-
tonment deprive them of their due representa-
ton in the Reichstag. (In one Conservative
district there only 43, 900 people, while in
one Socialist district there are more than 7Oo-
oOo) But despite that circumstance they have
probably this year increased their strength from
ffty-sever to eighty. That will make them, as
before, second only to the Clericals in Parlia-
mentary strength Indeed, 1T will make them
pretty nearly equal TO the Clericals in strength
and far ahead of any other party.
This result Of the election is a sign of the
times which it does not seem possible the i'm
perial government can afford to ignore 1t
SHOWS that the rising tide of socialism is
still rising, in spite Of all barriers, and threat
ems soon TO food the whole land At each cleo
ton hitherto antiSocialists of various parties,
observing the increase in the Socialist vote
have said that the highwater mark had then
been reached and that thenceforth there would
be reaction and decline. Such cheerful prophe-
cies have not been fulfilled and there is no ap-
parent reason for thinking that any such that
may now be made will be fulfilled On the con-

A FEARFUL SECRET.

The presidency of the Republican County
Committee having been declined by Mr.. Shell
don in terms which contained no trace OF
mental reservation, the weary search for sue
cessor to Mr.. Morris has been resumed For a
few moments yesterday speculation lowered
over the head Of Mr. Edward Lauterbach, but
Instantly took flight when that gentleman said:
IF any man mentions my name in this connec-
ton l will regard him my enemy Tor me
was the head of the committee some years ago,
and haven't got over the effect yet-or hnlshed
paving the bills of the committee. II l hao
deadly enemy and wished to take a hendlsh re-
venge on him. I would work day and night 10
put him at the head of the county conlrnlItee.
II hadn't got out when did I might, as Dew
ery said about the housesnths, have seen my
corpse brought home dead some day
There must be dreadful things about a place
which inspires such loathing and we wish the
experts would tell US what they are. Mr.
Lauterbach drops a resounding hint as to one
of its drawbacks when he says that he hasn't
yet finished paying the committees bills, but
we are compelled to suspect something worse
than that A mere pecuniary annoyance
wouldn't make a man of Mrs Lauterbachs san
g1Iine temperament shudder and grow pale.
What is the committee in the habit of doing to
its president? Though it has long been rec0g-
nized as a sort of secret society, we have never
supposed that it prachsed mysterious and awful
rites But the uninitated are beginning to
have uncanny feelings. and unless the surviv-
ing ex-presidents are under an oath which 1t
would blast their souls TO break they ought to
relieve public curiosity.

FIGHTTNG NOES.

The Sheriff who did his duty and batf1ed an
outbreak OF would-be lyncherS i'll GreenVille, in
the State of Illinois, merits praise. In too
many widely scattered communities in various
States the occupants of the high Office of the
shrievalty have failed to stand like stone wall
against mobs and have shown themselves pu-
silanmous in grave emergencies when they
thought their own lives might be in danger.
In an after dinner speech a Democratic Sher-
iff Of this county in the nineties of the last
century burst into tears when he was describ-
ing to his awe striG oxen audience the heart rend-
ing, brain splitting, nerve racking perils and
RESPONSIBILITIES which he declared were making
him an old man before his time. Carried away
by his own pathetic eloquence, amid tears and
sobs, he begged his hearers to pity him, to SYM
pathize with him, TO pour foods of compassion
upon him Taking up the familiar classical
MYTH he walled that over his head both day
and night, hung the sword of Damocles,
pended by single hair
The sword was not visible to the naked eye
that evening, and two or three irreverent listen
ers to this lachrymose Grafton murmured under
their breaths that they would not be plunged
into the lowest depths of woe even If the single
hair should happen to break. 1t stood the
strain of the imaginary sword, however The
melancholy Sheriff completed his term without
suffering from swords, and is now a hearty,
vigorous, prosperous citizen Of New-York 1t
never seemed to occur to the much vexed and
harassed holder of the lucrative place that no
clause in the State constitution and no law in
the statute books prevented his resignng his
Office at any time. In private station the Dam
ocletian sword could alright him no longer.
The naked truth is that no person is COM
PEELED TO accept a nomination for the shrievalty
in any county in this nation. Whoever does
accept a nomination and is elected ought to do
his duty as Sheriff Ike man, and lose his life,
IL need be, in fighting of lynchers.
