The Man who Doesn't Let Go.

From me Boston Daily Advertiser.
The Governor is not in the habit OF letting
go anything he once gets his hands on. I'M
less IL be Shipbuildng stock sold at fancy
price to some bidders who were afraid of him.
II Uncle Ben knows the future, he Is not
going to resign; but does he know
Probably Governor-C hartman Odell thinks
he IL not going to resign. lie knows his own
mind, but he does not know what a tremen-
dous pressure might be brought to bear on
him. He does not say that he will not be
forced out of the craftsmanship And vet
there are some close friends of the President
who think that even that step would be better
than TO leave things as they are. But 1t is
possible that Odell may stay on. That is
hardly the iss'ie with the Republicans of New
York The rcnl question is. Win Odpll stay
on without a sharp and emphatic protest
from the Republican candidate for Governor?
That il the fair test for Higgins. He has
told his friends that he Is not odel's man
and will not be The way to provo II ia to say
In public what he is saying in private that
il Odell persists in holding both the places,
1t must he against the protests OF Higgins
and of the decent Republicans who support
him.
higgins Is responsible for odell's acts only
az they concern the former. 1t may be true
as the Odell men say. that the State commit
tee cannot get a vote to Dust him. Higgins
In that case is not responsible. But for his
own position. he Ia responsible There IL
nothing to prevent him, when he has the
chance to do so publicly, from calling on
Odell, before the people Of NewYork, to resign
hls place as chairman OF the State committee.
He has the right-better than any one else
to mako that demand. and as publicly az
possible. And in doing so, he would not hurt
his own chances of election half as much as
by keeping silence.

The True Ring.

Mayor MCCLELLAN, in requesting the
resignation of JOHN H. MCCooEY, Presi-
dent of the Municipal Civil Service Com
mission says.
Even when at times have doubted the advisa.
bllity OF certain acts by the heads OF the city de-
parments have refralned from any interference
with the exercise OF their discretion and have
avoided any criticism of the subject lest I might
diminish their OF personal responsibility and
OF complete accountability for the administration
Of their respective departments; but cannot main.
tain such attitude when believe the law has
been purposcly cyaded. II Is not enough TO urge
that by such evasion Of the law the city has sus-
tained pecuniary ioss that political opponents
were In their time adopts at such violations Your
oath Of once. and mine. requires from each OF us
effort to administer respective trusts accord
ing to law and in the public interest; and the city
expects that that oath shall be kept with an excr
else OF intelligence and right conscience"
That's the stuff! Thoughtful citizens
will discern in the Mayors letter to Mr.
MCCooEY evidences of policy of pru-
dence as well as of justice.
The Mayor Is alert when essentials are
concerned.

If the information of the Worcester Tele-
gram is correct, Governor JOHN l.. BATES
of Massachusetts will appoint WILLIAM
HENRY MOODY Senator to succeed the late
Mr.. HoAR. Mr. MOODY is one OF the few
Massachusetts statesmen of this generation
whose heads stick even little way above
the SIX yine. If he is named to fill the vacancy
caused by Mr.. HoAR's death geographical
considerations will be left entirely out Of
account, for Mr. MooDY's home is in Haver
HILL at one end of Essex county, while Sena-
tor LODGE lives at Nahant, in the other end
of the same county. Thus the northeastern
corner of the State will be thick with United
States Senators.
Such a condition OF affairs would be dis
tasteful to the residents of all the middle
and western counties, by whom the belief
is held firmly that one of the United States
Senatorships belongs west Of Worcester.
This feeling would be likely to increase,
rather than diminish, and unquestionably
lead in the end to the retirement of one Of
the Essex county gentlemen. But, unfort-
unately, the western and middle counties Of
Massachusetts to-day present the unhappy
spectacle OF community without an avail
able and proper candidate for this office.
Mr.. MOODY is of Senatorial size and would
be creditable representative Of the State.

" MIHRoLA, L. l.. Oct. g."
The Abandoned Canal Lands.
Section 5 of the Barge Canal law reat

Section 5 of the Barge Canal law reads:
Whenever any lands now used for canal pur
poses shall be rendered longer necessary or use
ful for such purposes by OF the Improvement
hereby directed the same shall be sold In the man
ncr provided by law for the sale OF abandoned canal
lands and the net proceeds thereof paid into the
State treasury. and so much thereof shall be neess
sdrv shall be applied 10 the cost Of the uork hereby
directed"
This section is short, clear and to the
point 1t means that in addition to the
Sol 100000 already authorized for this
work by the sale of State bonds, the
entire amount Of money derived from
the sale of abandoned canal lands can
be applied to the cost of the barge canal
so-called. What this extra sum will
amount to in precise figures is not now
known. The magnitude of the initial
appropriation has 80 dazzled the people
that ten millions or twenty millions more
or less makes no impression upon them.
An idea of the amount to be derived
from the sale of these lands may be
formed, however, from the single fact
that the present route of the Erie Canal
is to be abandoned from Rome to Troy,
distance of something like 100 miles.
West of Rome there are many other
stretches of the old ditch that can be
turned into cash and from cash into
graft The present Erie Canal runs
through the heart Of many of the most
furnishing cities and villages in the
State and the ground it occupies is of
great value.
The Barge Canal law is swindle upon
its face. Instead of limiting the ex-
penditure to Sol 600, 900, as Section
provides, the act itself really opens
the door to enormous expenditures 10
be derived from a source additional to
the issue Of State bonds. The truth is,
SOL 900 600 is mere figure of speech.

IN UNCLE sAM,s GRAB BAG.
One Buyer Got q slivered WedEwood Salad
Set for $40

The second day Of Collector OF the Port
Stranahan's three day auction sale of un-
claimed and abandoned goods at the Ap-
praiser's Stores began gayly yesterday
with bids on zone bag edible beans, valued
at the time of their export and by the Ap.
praiser at 81. A nickel bought the beans.
Two framed paintings which Andrew
Carnegie refused to receive AZ a gift were
considered worth 50 when they left Europe
and 50 when they reached America, but some
enthusiast gave ST. for them yesterday.
There was some mystery in II Pkg Bot
Medicinal Preparation" sent to the Hon.
j. ID. Rockefeller, but one intrepid bidder
thinking 1t might be some peculiarly potent
hair restorer. squandered twenty-five cents
on 1t. There was a guessing contest as
to what the man who spent $225 for ono
hundred Argentine Year Books of 1902 was
going to do with them.
The purchaser of a decorated earthen.
ware" salad set which never got to Mrs.
Edyth Capped, care of The Vicar Grace
Church" opened the box with dsconcerting
forewarnings of what his wife would say
when he got it home, but when he found
the set was Of silver and Wedgwood he con.
sidered $40 cheap for It,
There was bright anticipation in the face
of the man who exchanged s575 for 10
