David B. Hill.
From the New York Times.

rom the NeW 1ork limcs.
David b. Hills ability was never fairly
recognized until he took his seat In the
Senate. There he surprised his own
state, he surprised the country. He not
only showed "A clear grasp of questions
of financial policy, of revenue and OF
taxation, subjects in which he had be-
fore appeared to take 10 particular in
terest, but he exhibited a readiness a
capacity and courage in general de-
bate which won the admiration OF even
his opponents. In 1852 MIR. Hill had
caused the snap convention to be as
sembled In order to secure a delegation
pledged to support him in the democratic
national convention of that year. He
succeeded In that immediate end, but his
political judgment was wOefully at fault.
as was proved when the delegates from
other states, representing the command
ing will OF the party. rolled over his
pledged delegation and made New York
ridiculous. In the Senate, however.
where during his second term Mr. Cleve-
land had few friends, MIR. Hill became
one of the chief defenders of his policies.

New York Police Changes.

Mayor Gayncr in his letter o. instruc-
ton TO his new commissioner OF police
outlines a series of reforms which he
says have been ia process of establish
ment in tine administration of the city
since the beginning OF his term on tie Is,
OF January Five things. he states,
were undertaken. The members OF the
force were first taught that they must
he laW-abiding themselves: they were
next persuaded that they must treat
citizens respectfully and properly; then
they were taught that they must not
make petty and needless arrests; when
the morale OF the force was thus i'm
proved an effort was made To enforce
tne liquor tax Law in the way provided
by the statutes. the force having hereto
fore gone counter TO the process pro-
vded by the law and substituted methods
highly conducive to grating; finally.
the mayor notes, g systematic effcrt was
begun TO stop the collection of graft bv
the corrupt officers of the department
These things having been done and be-
gun. We have low arrived at a poilt
says the mayor. where other forward
steps must be taken with system and
patience.
Just what those other forward steps
are has not ya- been defined II NAV be
assumed. however. that the present pro-
gram is to try TO make the New Yor <
police an honest exponent of the law, a
task which calls for the highest order OF
ability and great courage. The man select

administrative experience whatever. but
evidently enjoying the full confidence OF

they will do vigorous work along the re-
form lines laid down By the mayor. One

The Milk Question.

If any one has proof that anything re-
sembling combination or conspiracy eN-
:sts among the officials of the District OF
Columbia or the governmental the United
States to force upon the people CT Wash
inCton a certain unnecessary system OF
milk treatment. for their own profit re-
gardless of the public health, no further
time should be wasted in general accusa-
lions. The proof. if ii exists, should be
promptly produced. Charges should he filed
with the proper officials and an investi-
Eaticn demanded. not in vague terms. but
with definitions of misconduct and cita-
lions OF witnesses enabling the authori-
ties to reach the bottom of the case with
out delay.
At yesterdays hearing a the District
building language was employed by some
OF the witnesses which indicates, If any
thing. the possession of information high
" discreditable to certain local and fed
eral officials and citizens, who are in
broad terms accused of trying to organ
lie great milk-treatment trust for their
own profit Nothing is to be gained by
such course 1t is in the first place I'M
just to the public to raise suspicious if
there Is no warrant. 1t is also unjust to
the men whose motives are brought un-
der question 1t is unjust to the Commits
siorers if these allegations have any
foundation whatever not to present them
I a form warranting definite official in
quiry
There are four factors in the milk equa-
ton. the dairyman. the wholesale dealer,
Re retailer and the consumer. Those
who are bringing the indefinite accusa-
ions at present are the retailers There
IS natural antagonism between them
and the wholesalers. an antagonism that
IS inevitable in all lines of trade where
one class Of men sells to another class of
men in order that the public may be
served. There is en- equal antagOnism be-
tween the wholesaler and the dairymen.
There IL finally an taGonism between
the consumer and all three OF the sup
plying factors. The Commissioners must
view the whole case strictly from the
point of view Of the consumer. He must
be given pure milk regardless of price. IF
through combinations the price is ad-
vanced unwarrantably the legal depart
ment Of the government stands ready to
intervene to prevent or to punish under
the antitrust act. Thus the Commits
sioners have only to do with the question
of purity and wholesomeness. and In this
they are naturally concerned in the mo-
tives Of those who urge certain methods
of milk treatment. They have hereto
fore proceeded upon the presumption that
these officials are sincere in the belief
that certain process of treatment is
required in the interest of public health.
Now they are told differently. Those who
bring the charge should either present
their proof or hold their peace.

Census Accuracy.

statement issued by the director of
the census, printed in Wednesdays Star.
is calculated to reassure those who may
have feared that the frauds uncovered
at Tacoma and other western cities arc
characteristic of the late enumeration
ard that the faint OF suspicion rests upon
the entire process OF counting the people.
According to Director Durand's explana-
ton of the methods employed at the CEN
sus bureau it Is virtually assured that
fragrant frauds will be promptly detected.
In no case has IL been taken for grant
ed that the work is honestly done. In
the first place a theoretical maximum
OF individual work by cnumerators has
been established, beyond which any single
performance becomes subject to doubt.
Then the returns upon receipt are sub
jected to careful scrutiny by the bu-
reau force to detect obvious instances
Of error and deceit. Next, by steadily
narrowing process of supervision, the re-
turns are subjected to a severe test by a
special force of trained workers, who
become as skilled in the noting OF evil
dences OF possible mistake or deception as
. bank clerk In the discovery OF counter
felt money
The fact that the Tacoma case has been
made public So long after the enumera-
ton does not suggest that the fraud
practiced there was only by accident dis
covered 1. would appear from Director
Dursnd's statement that an instance of
paddIns on the Tacoma scale would in
evi,ably come to light. 1t also appears
that recommendations have been ordered
/, a number of eases for the correction
CT errors and the verification of returns.
and il is a matter of qualification that so
small a percentage of fraud has been I'M
covered In some instances, indeed, the
remuneration has completely verified
the original returns.
Suspicion OF the returns has not been
automatically bred by showing OF great
growth on the part of a city. Instances
are numerous of remarkable expansion,
due to the development Of certain IN
dustries, such as in Detroit, which show

David B. Hill.

Mr.. Hills death came as a shock. The
country had accepted the report that his
illness was not serious. and had accepted
it all the more readily for remembering
that at the recent celebration of his sixty
seventh birthday he was described as III
fine physical fettie, with the promise OF
another decade of usefulness at the Al
bany bar.
Like all capable and aggressive men,
Mr. Hill had a stormy time in politics
He made stanch friends and as stanch
enemies He neither gave nor asked Tor
quarter He accomplished much. ana
failed of much. His supreme desire was
denied him. The presidency proved to be
beyond his reach, and his fortunes de-
clined from the day his candidacy was re
jected at Chicago in the summer or Ies2'
He served out his term in the senate.
He was drafted for the gubernatorlai
race In 1894 and defeated. and he laid the
foundations of the Parker presidential
candidacy ten years later. But he never
again offered for anything himself.
No man suffered so much from the tall
pretensions Of the Cleveland era. 1t be-
came the fashion to describe him as "a
peanut politician narrow of view, I'M
scrupulous of method. and the leader OF
abhorrent forces.
He was so branded when he reached the
Senate And yet his associates in that
body found him a lawyer of the first
class, q parliamentarian of the first class.
and a debater deserving Of place with
the best. He had courage a-plenty. He
stood his ground when others retreated.
He fought the income tax. He voted
against the Gorman-Wils bill-a meas
ure which helped to wreck his party.
And when Mr.. Cleveland sought to use
even a seat on the Supreme bench to hui
initiate him. Mr.. Hill defeated the at
tempt and forced the nomination of prob
ably the best equipped democratic lawyer
in New York state for the place. The
late Justice Peckham, though not per-
sonal friend of Mr.. Hill, was distinctly
his contribution to the personnel of that
court
1t Is strange, too, in the light Of the as
saults on Mr.. Hill, to see it recorded in
the obituary notices that he was a men,
Der of the reform legislature which de-
stroyed the Tweed gang, and worked as
one of Mr.. Tilden's lieutenants, and that
he was the reform mayor of Elmira at
the time he was nominated for lieutenant
governor on the ticket with Mr.. Cleve-
land. the reform mayor of Buffalo. Mr..
Tiiden died in the odor of reform, while
his assistant and favorite pupil-to whom
he gave his confidence to the last-rested
for years under the ban of Tilden wor-
shippers.
But. though probably Indifferent on the
subject, Mr.. Hill lived to see men and
newspapers long with noses in air as to
himself. In open alliance with, and under
the lead of. Tammany Hall for control,
first of New York state. and then of the
United States. His last reflections on
that point must have entertained him.

A Small Distinction.

The man who hastens to his task
With frank and CHEEKY song
But little sympathy need ask
While travelling along,
While he who lags with time to kill
Will breathe full many a sigh
And seek some idle care to ill
The moments drifting by.
And so they meet on common ground,
The hustler and the drone.
Each goes upon his daily round
With interest all his own.
And who. when all Is said and done.
'Mongst those who strive or shirk,
Shall prove that work is never fun
Or fun is never work?

Reporters Honesty.
from the New York World.

The names of several newspaper CORE
spondents at Albany were mentioned in
Mr.. Elders version of the Gardner con-
fession as having received money from
the raee-track lobby fund. Our experi-
ence has been that people who talk about
bribing reporters almost always lie Report
ers are very seldom venal. In fact, we know
of no other class of men in any occupa-
ton who are SO persistently faithful to
their trust and so oblivious to the temp
tation of dishonest money.
