Building and Loan Associations.

TO rBR EDITOR OF The SuR-Si,: The unfortu-
nate condition Of tho New York banking loan
company IN this city. which offered such big In :
ducenents TO investors, guaranteeing 10 per cent
interest should not have depressing effect on our
local building and loan associations. There Is
as much difference between tho banking loan com.
pnny and other national associations and building
loan associations as there Is between day and
night. Building and loan associations guarantee
nothing hut fair proft on the investment. they
pay from 81 to s per cent. and have al average
of sl5OOOO on bond and mortgage Many OF our
associations in upper New York city have about
one hundred appropriations each. averaging S2oOo
and paying In about per cent This money IN
graded amounts comes In monthly so that while
associations have not great deal OF cash on hand.
their mortgages arc gilt edged and constantly
paying in and the cash sold to small approprlators
when not required for Withdrawals. The officers
get from 81 so to - for each meeting they attend
and this Is all the salary thhtthey receive For this
they have to look after affairs not only on meeting
nights, but during their OF hours looking after
taxes. rents. repairs. DC. a. they can fnd time.
All OF these associations arc rcllable-that L.
the real buildin and loan assOcations-and are
as solid our best savings banks with less salary
and rent 10 pay out. The officers are all members
OF the association With which they are connected
and their personal account must be paid ZIP TO date
when the books are examined. The building loan
associations are "of she people and by the people,
and not inventions OF the rich and do not make
a great deal OF money. But they do return fair
interest on the Investment, and WITH steady pay
mcn;s and care many men have become ndepen
dent through the medium OF the building loan.

Last week the Hon. BIRD s. CoLER
was lauding the position taken by the
Hon HUGH MCLAUGHLIN. Last night
Mr.. CoLER whooped it up for Tammany
with another convert, the Hon. BoURKE
COCHRAN.
The Hon EDWARD NJ CIRCUIT, who was
attacking Tammany in September and
was attacked by Tammany in a cam
paign pamphlet issued by it few weeks
ago, has so accustomed his once delicate
nostrils to The Tammany stencil that
he begins to find il almost the odor OF
sanctity.

German education, feels like you and

The Hon CHARLES f. MURPHY the

his respect for the public judgment and

Hugh Mclaughlin.

For good many years HUGH
MCLAUGHLIN has been known as a con-
summate political manager. with stores
Of sagacity and experience. The force
OF unbroken habit has attached him to
party regularity. His record Of party
orthodoxy is, in fact, much better than
Tammany's. He has no aspirations for
reform outside of the party. He has
been bearing, as patiently as he could,
with Tammany since the birth Of Greater
New York But, after all, he has some
old-fashioned Brooklyn notions. The in
PRODUCTION OF Tammany methods into
Brooklyn is something he cannot foresee
with composure.
Tammany has invaded Brooklyn for
the purpose of establishing there its
own well-known operations OF sweetness
and light 1t has seduced from Mr..
MCLAUGHLIN some of the men who owe
their political Importance to him. 1t
seeks to overthrow him by combina-
tion''with these seceders, Its triumph
means the bestowal upon Brooklyn OF the
beauties of Tenderloin administration.
HUGH MCLAUGHLIN is fighting in self
preservation. Fortunately, for him, he is
fighting also against the Emancipation
of Brooklyn. In this curious canvass,
his is one of the most dignified figures
He has gained in public esteem; and the
sympathy and respect with which he
was received at the great meeting in
Brooklyn Thursday night are widely
diffusod In the community.

SUIT OVER LOBBYISTS BILL.
Jury to Decide Whether Dunhan's Work
Was Lawful or Not.

The suit OF Edward R. Durham to re-
cover SO 900 from the Hastings Pavement
Company was on trial yesterday before
Supreme Court Justice Fitzgerald and
jury.
Durham was employed some years ago
by company to use his influence in having
resolutions passed by the Board Of Alder
men to pave certain streets with asphalt
blocks instead OF with sheet asphalt Dun.
ham says that he had to 60 before tho board
and explain the nature Of the work and
It's benefits. Under his contract With the
company all his services were to be done
in a lawful manner. The defence was
that Dunham's services had been paid
for. and that even II there was anything
due him his claim was illegal because his
work had partaken Of the nature Of lobby
ing. Mr.. tntermyer argued that his client
had a legal right to interview the public
officials and e1pound to them the merits
of block asphalt.
It was finally left to the Jury TO decide
whether Dunham's services had been OF
lawful or an unlawful nature, and also
whether he was entitled to any reInunera-
ton. The jury retired at the end OF the
davis session. and its verdict will not be
known till Monday.

Diamonds.

Thetrade in diamonds is probably to
be taken rather as an evidence Of an
existing national prosperity than as an
assurance Of it's continuance. Yet the
purchase Of jewels indicates conviction
on the part Of the purchaser that the
coming days will enable him at least to
live up to the standard of his acquisition.
Upon that basis, 1t may be assumed that
q good many Americans are distinctly
optimistic regarding trade conditions in
vhe United States.
Up to theend OF 1890, that year marked
high water In the importation of dia-
monds. The imports for the yeez show
valuation Of 100000. The crisis of
1893 was clearly reflected in the diamond
trade. The imports for 1894 only little
exceeded 5000, 900, and five years had
elapsed before there came any decided
recovery. In 1909 the imports rose to
$4,000 900. In 1901 they reached S2O.-
100000. q record mark. The next two
years jumped them to 10000, 900, the
imports for tho fiscal year which closed
on June 80 OF this year,
Perhaps because OF this increased
demand, and perhsps by reason Of other

The Question Is Graft, Not Greene

We opine that the ablest thing Mr.
GEORGE b. MCCLELLAN has done in this
campaign is his treatment OF the ques-
ton, hammered at him so persistently
and ferccly, as to his intentions respect
ing the head of the Police Department.
After waiting long enough to give the
impression that the question was incon-
venient, and that he would rather evade
il than face it, MIR. MCCLELLAN turned
upon his inquisitors and calmly replied
that under no circumstances would he
appoint as Police Commissioner man
of the character of Gen. FRANCIS V.
GREENE.
Thereupon the present Commissioner
clustered little and declared slibstan-
TALLY that il would not be in the power
of Mr.. MCCLELLAN. if elected, to remove
him from office; but subsequently, hav-
ing meanwhile, perhaps, consulted the
Charter and political friends with COM
mon sense, he withdrew himself from
that absurd position.
The question that should have been
pressed upon the Tammany candidate
by citizens solicitous about the honest
administration of the Police does not
concern Gen. GREENE's individuality.
This is what it should have been:
II elected, will you tolerate in the
Police Department any Commissioner.
Tammany man or other, who either
stands for Graft or is willing to stand
in front of Graft permitting and shield
ing it?
That, doubtless, was the question in
tended; but the way in which it was put,
involving hasty and somewhat Thought
less identification of the present Com
missioner's personality with the idea
and cause of Anti-Graft, gave to Mr..
MCCLELLAN an advantage which he was
not slow to perceive and embrace.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Gen.
GREENE is not the issue, and the friends
OF honest government certainly do not
understand that his character and COM
potency present the determining question
for the vote Of Tuesday next.
