THE "THTRD DECREE ~

The infection Of what is commonly
called the third degree is reported 10
have been successful in elciting a con-
fessfon in one OF the latest murder cases
in this vicinity. There will therefore be
expressions Of satisfaction at the prompt
detection of q murderer and the probable
avoidance Of tedious and costly trial.
There are, however, those who VIII
wish 10 have II carefully considered TO
what extent this police process resem-
bles torture. In old times il was {,
common practice TO extort confessions
By means Of eycruciating torments.
That is forbidden in civilized countries
to-day. Yet. according to the accounts
given by those who practise il, this
third degree is IN many cases IS ago.
niZing as the rack or iron boot.
Il is argued in defence that it !ndicts
no pain except upon the guilty and has
no terrors for an innocent prisoner. That
may be true. though we doubt II even
an innocent person would enjoy some
OF the practices OF which we have
heard. But even so. there is no warrant
Tor inaicting torture upon even the most
guilty.
The practice is also regarded by some
as in fact compelling men 10 testify
against themselves. which is repugnanr
10 our system Of jurisprudence: nor does
it matter whether the self-incuipatins
testimony is secured under threats,
under torture or through trckery.
In theory. then. the third degree"
business seems 10 be indefensib!e. In
practice its results may now and then
be gratifying, if a desirable result is
gratifying when attained through unde-
sirable means; but II is obviously sus-
ceptible Of abuse in an exceptional and
peculiar degree. This circumstance alone
must cause the practice to be regarded
with grave misaivings.

FINANCIAL CHANGE IMPERATIVE.

Mr.. Prendergast, in his speech at Dur
! lands Academy on Friday night, I'M
p"essvely brought home to the voters the
danger 10 the city's credit and the hard
slip inflicted On contractors and laborers
| through the peculiar methods Of financial
administration which have grown up un-
der Mayor McCIeIlan's two administra-
tions.
The policy OF throwing all the city's
money into 'pot'' and using it 0c-
Cordng TO the whinl of the officials. quite
regardless Of the obligations for which
particular funds are pledged, is thor
oughly vicious, and would not be toler-
ated in any financial institution. 1t has
been made the cover for reckless exrrava-
gance and used to conceal the waste Of
long time borrowings for running eX
penses, until the burden OF carrying the
city debt amounts to about zone third Of
the tax levy.
The Tribune has shown that Controller
Metz has issued over forty millions of
revenue bonds Illegally, in disregard OF
the charter, in his desperate attempts TO
stave off the day OF accounting for the
msmanagemenj 70 which he fell heir and
which he had not the strength 10 correct.
He practically admits this overissue. In
the face Of such confessed chaos every
taxpayer must be alive to the need OF
drastic reform. There must be q finan-
clal houSecleaning. or the credit OF the
city viii be injured and taxes greatly
raised. Such reform can be hoped for
only through a complete break with the
old Tammany methods by the election
Of business men like Mr.. Barnard and
Mr.. Prendcrgast

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In the discussion of the white slave
traffic now going on in the newspapers an
effort is being made to becloud the Issue
which Is not whether the city is pure or
impure, but whether impurity and vice
exist and flourish under the protection OF
Tammany Hail. The charges and counter
charges against any particular race are
not material. 5he guilt or innocence OF
Tammany Hall is what concerns the voter.

anybody. saying they would have shipped

them.
Several parties from ogden were at the
track Thursday soliciting horses for
