Describing the stan of the newly
elected democratic coroner, the local
democratic organ says:
His secretary is a niece of Colonel Guffey,
the well known Pennsylvania oil magnate
and politician.
Is this the same Colonel Guffey who
was by Mr.. Bryan's orders so uncere-
moniously thrown over the transom at
the Denver convention? If so, is this
a peace offering, or is it treason to Mr..
Bryan?

The governments petition for a reheartng
in the case of the Standard Oil fine closes
with the statement that II the opinion of
the court Of appeals were to be permitted
to stand unmodified it would tend to en-
courage disobedience to law; to impede the
enforcement OF s~alutary statutes and largely
to defeat their purpose"
This is merely another way of saying that
technical interpretations Of the law which
clearly defeat the ends Of justice constitute
the chief menace TO the authority II the
judiciary. Not criticisms Of the courts, but
such decisions as that reversing the STAND
ard oil fine tend to break down their power.

RippIe- on the Current of Life In the
Metropolis. -.

Metropolis.
The progress 81 greater New York to-
ward bankruptcy is strikingly shown in a
report compiled by Major McClellan's ad-
visory commission on taxes and finance.
The report says, in part; .
New York City, as at present consti-
tuted, has ever since it's creation ten years
ago been steadily increasing its Expenses
faster than It has grown: the rate Of such
excessive increase has been startingly
large; the period during which these con-
ditions rave continued has already been
long enough to plunge the city into serious
financial embarrassment. that, unless this
tendency is checked and sharply checked.
New York will inevitably become a bank
rupt municipality.
o January 1. 1908. when greater New
York became an accomplished fact, its
population, according to the official esti-
mate OF the health department, was 3,272, ais.
Ten years later, according TO the same
authority, the population was Az, 6S5-an
increase of 1.15O, 2S7, or So per cent.
The budget for 1909, Just completed.
calls for $l56, 545, 1iS.14, an increase of nearly
$4,000, 600 over 1908, or 8 per cent. If the
budget is to be increased in the same
ratio each year for the next ten years
and present indications all point In that
direction-w\ shall see one at the end of
that period \~ggregatlng 1870 OO,O 600.
Allowing GENEROUSLY for future increase
of the revenuos of the general fund for
the reduction of taxation, this would mean
an actual tax levy of 1924, 100000 AS It is
unlikely that the population of the city at
that time will exceed 100000. this would
represent a per capita tax of $54, as against
$26.25 this year.

Robert Thompson, the captured firebug
of Staten Island. made incendiarism a
business, and levied tribute on merchants
of Graniteville in order to stay the activi-

son stated that on Saturday night last he
poured Kerosene oil on the boards of the
Winant kitchen, piled dry grass alongsids
the house, which he saturated with oil, and
then went home and had a sleep. Later
he returned and applied a match to the
grass and again returned home and slept
until his mother called him and told him
of the fire nearby. \
In the Winant house at the time of tho
fire were nine persons, including several
children. One Of them was nearly suffo-
Gated. The confession told of plugging
the fire alarm box before setting the fire.
Over fifty residents of Graniteville were
In court and requested the magistrate not
to permit Thompson to go free, even on

had been unable to sleep nights prior to
Thompson's arrest, fearing his home
would be the next to be set on fire, and
that he had enjoyed his first good nights
