WL4UGHLTY STANDS FAST.

Long observation of Mr.. McLaughlins polit-
ical activities not unnaturally suggested doubts
of his disposition to keep up steadfast hight
against Tammany Hall in the face or sue
cessful treachery within his own organization.
Even after the Kings County Democratic Gen
eraI Committee had administered what seemeu
TO be at first a practically decisive blow TO the
pretensions of Senator McCarren there was
feeling that the veteran leader might merely
have made another move in a game of sub
terranean politics, and when his special COM
mittee was persuaded on Wednesday night to
recommend an Endorsement of the whole Tam
many ticket the belief that he had made his
peace with Murphy found free expression.
But whatever suspicious Of Mr.. McLaughiins
purpose or courage may have existed, and
whatever justification for distrust his career
may have furnished he has at last made his
sincerity in this campaign as clear as monday.
The deliberate statement which he gave out for
publication Yesterday is redhot with detesta-
ton of Tammany and of the leader who is
seeking TO carry the pollution Of Tammany into
BROOKLYN politics and Brooklyn life. There is
no possibility of mistaking the temper in which
hie blistering arraignment was issued, and there
is little risk of exaGgeratng the effect OF this
summons TO his fellow citizens TO do their duty
as he is doing his

Senator McCarren was described as being In
! a jubilant mood yesterday morning. We vent
ure TO say that he was correspondingly de-
pressed before nightfall. Mr.. Grout also was
doubtless gTatified by the decision of the spe-
cisl committee that his nomination ought to De
regularly Endorsed. We wonder how Mr.. Grout
relishes the knowledge that Mr.. McLaughlin's
warning against 1.-THE infamies represented by
the Tammany ticket in this campaign will
make a profound impression on the people OF
BROOKLYN, and that there is scarcely one OF his
old friends who will lot rejoice at the chance
of helping TO overwhelm him in ignominious
defeat.

SMUGGLERS AGAIN.

The arrest of Captain Gelat, a passenger on
the Teutonic, for smuggling diamonds and other
precious stones, calls renewed attention to the
fact that among the people who work to get
something for nothing there is no more industri-
GUS class than the smugglers who patroniZe the
ocean liners. They take pride in defrauding
the government not always because of the
money which they save by doing So but in
many instances for the joy that comes from
doing" the custom house. On the shopping
tours in Europe the fact that what is purchased
must be Struggled is kept constantly in mind,
and when the baggage is packed and the return
voyage begun nothing occupies the thoughts Of
the returning American In whom a hatred of
custom houses has been developed so much as
the plans for cheating the government out of
its Just dues.
False statements under oath, bribery and
tricks that would do justice to a sleight Of hand
performer are resorted 10, and men and women
who would resent with anger any doubt as TO
their honesty deliberately swindle the authori-
ties and tell of their achievement with pride
and satisfaction 1t is well known that custom
house officers have occasionally been in collu-
sion with these smugglers, and that in some
cases the knowledge that their msdeeds would
be winked at has made the smugglers doubly
bold. Corrective measures, however, have been
introduced, and the evil has been partially
checked

ersl nuhlic. and the degraded creatures who
wish license to engage IN vulgar crime Inc
proctrrer the divekeeper and the blackmailer at
one end and the franchise grabber and the
wealthy bribe giver at the other are the clients
and the masters OF TammaDy Han. 1he great
democratic masses have no part in 1t except as
thev may be deluded TO furnish 1t votes. Inc
great Democratic masses are vlrtuous ana law
abiding. For them Tammany had no care.
their children were exposed TO vice, their health
WAS neglected, their money was wasted, their
law WAS sold. their lives were sacrificed. IL
Democracy means care for the welfare of the
average citizen, Justice 10 him without price,
and protection 30 him from all wrong. no despot
WAS ever less Democratic than Tammany Hall.
Nor is Tammany even true to Democracy rs
n national and State political party. 1t Is, as
Mr.. Grout said. business investment con-
cerned exclusively with ifs own local interests.
II was against Tilden; il was false to Hancock;
If tried three times to defeat Cleveland, and
once had the satisfaction Of seeing its wish ac-
comnlished: il turned against that honest Demo
crat. Lucius Robinson, and helped put Repuh-
Hcan Governor in his place. For thirty years
the Democratic party of the nation has looked
upon il with "scorn and contempt" With such
a record no intelligent Democrat can be fooled
INTO thinking its effort TO make this city once
more the victim Of its undemocratic sale of law
and use of power to serve special interests
and these criminal interests-a movement in the
interest of Democratic principles or the Demo
cratic party The Democratic party is some
thing larger. something better, something which

or not. 10 not consider a home of graft and
a nursery Of crime.

DEMOCRACY VERSUS TAMMAHY.

The great Democratic meeting at Cooper
Union on Wednesday night was the answer OF
honest and high minded devOtees Of the prin-
ciples If Democracy TO the attempt OF Mr.. Grout
and his Tammany associates TO represent this
municipal campaign as mere party fight be-
tween Republicans and Democrats and palm Off
on the people the stencil Of Tammany Hall
as the true incense Of Democracy. They re-
member how two years ago Mr.. Grout declared:
"Tammany Hall is a mere business investment;
lit is not a political party and when they see
him changed TO an advocate Of Murphy and
Tin" Sullivan, who he said, was one Of the
gambling syndicate they recall his remarks
On the subject OF change made at the ClermOnt
Avenue Rink on October IA, 1901:
Mr. Shepard in his remarkable performance
last Saturday night said that Mr. Grout had
changed since 1897. Mr. Shepard forgot to add
that while Mr. Grout lid changed for the better
some one else had changed for the worse
Mr.. Grout has relapsed into what be himself
recognized as an unregenerate state, but while
he has changed for the worse such sterling
Democrats as William r. Grace, Charles s.
Fairchild, Eugene A Philbin William B. Horn
blower, Peter b. 0lney, Lewis L. Delafeld, Ed

Others refuse e. recognize a band Of freebooters
working in politics for their own pockets all
the time as the repository OF Democratic prin-
ciples. True Democrats DESTROYS Of the welfare
OF their party, they prefer TO rescue it from
those who have used its name TO serve their
own base purposes. They see the opportunity
10 build up a respectable Democratic party in
New-York County, and make it possible for
Democrat 10 so from here 10 a national conven-
ton and be treated decently, something which
Mr. Grout has declared was impossible. since
in party gatherings when man was 'susoected
of being Tammany Hall man he was looked
upon with scOn and contempt"
A Democrat is a dignifed figure and com
mands respect He is the representative Of one
OF the two great schools Of constitutional inter

for a government administered honestly IN the
interest of all the people We may not always
or often agree with his views Of national or
State measures and policy, but we do not the
less honor him and recognize his worth as a
citizen and his usefulness as a partisan in a
country OF parties where all political advance
is made 10y the interaction OF opposing opinions.
But Tammany Hall has No fellowship with such
Democracy. The plain self-respectlng honest
man who was JeffersOn's Democrat has no place
IN its councils Tammany Hall has doubtless
many honest men among its supporters who up

not reveal the intention, Of bringing the schools
more and more into politics, and that uncer-
tainty as to their own exact position might con-
tribute to that Unfortunate result, they frankly
declared their opinion that the educational
establishment ought to be unified under the
control of their board-a permanent, unpaid,
constitutional body, with record OF absolute
non-partisanship for more than century. Hold
ing that view, they were constrained to express
it. To accept or reject it was the business OF
the legislature. In the mean time the Regents
were bound TO keep on performing each and all
of the imperative duties legally assigned to
them.
Precisely consistent with that conception OF
their obligations the recent act OF the
Regents inssending TO teachers an explicit as
surance OF their purpose to continue serving the
interests of the high schools by a faithful exer-
else OF their authority.

sunny JIM" HEARD From.

Our old friend Hep" Russell, otherwise known
as sunny jim" has appeared with new ex-
PLANTATION of his flop. He says: Il resigned

"sition that we had slandered the Democratic
party under the administration of Mayor Van

That is interesting. Hep" was Commissioner
of Accounts for almost two years, and had made
all that he thought he could out of this admin
istration before he discovered that he had SIAN
dered Mayor Van Wyek. A few days before he
resigned he wrote letter of fulsome praise to
the Mayor, in which he expressed continued de-
vOtiOn TO non-partison fusion, only he wanted
Democratic candidate for Mayor There was
no suggestion of Tammany being slandered. He
was ready TO go on slandering it, with all the
knowledge that he now possesses, up to the In
slant that he could not get the fusionists to do
what he wanted and went over to Tammany.
The reason that he gives now for his resigna-
ton is not the true one, his whole course
toward Mr.. Low and his long silence about
what he thought the slandering of Tammany
were distinctly dishonorable.
Hep shows that distinguished non-partisan
spirit which he used TO parade by saying: "0nly

the Health Department which had Republican
heads. Just for example? AS an expert on SIAN
