THE CITY AUDITOR AND HIS TRUSTS.

c1S HE auditor of accounts of a city is an officer whose duty it is
10 see chat the city is not defrauded. He examines all bills
and warrants calling for money. and if he has reason 10
distrust any sHch account he has power to hold it up. The treasurer
pays out money on the warrant of the comptroller and the watchdog
is the auditor. who himself handles no money and has command of
none. II has always been regarded. even by political managers, as
essential that a man of the most undoubted integrity should occupy
rhe auditors Office. Mr.. Forman was not disturbed in his Office by
Mayor Hausslng when he took Office. because the Mayor. in common
with everybody else. had unquestioning faith in the integrity as well
as the ability of the auditor There was acquiescence by Demo
Gratis in this course. because they shared the Mayors confidence.
The compliment to auditor Foman was exceptional, and such as
should be calculated to confirm him in a strict sense OF duty and
honor. What led Mr.. ForInan and without any apparent financial
necessity. to grossly abuse the trusts confded to him and make ii
wreck of his reputation and his life passes comprehension.

New Park for East Orange

To the Editor OF the Evening star:
The approaching spring. giving new
life to vegetation and inspiration TO city
|dwellers to seek suburban homes, means
a decided boom in real estate in our.
section of the State of New Jersey.
This means a good profit TO landowners
and builders for the time being, but il
may ooner or later come to reverses,
unless suitable provision is made to
preserve the attraction of country life,
viz; Plenty Of open space to give ac-
cess to sunlight and air. It will not be
many. ear before every inch Of ground
viii be utilized for building purposes.
The buildings may not he as high and
nevertheless, the attraction will dimin-
ish. as row on row of houses spring up
on every street. What we absolutely
need is the reservation of certain tracts
Of land for public parks, in every sec
tion of East Orange, and this should be
done now. and not wait until every
block is built up and the error discoy-

one block that has so far escaped the
building craze, that is the block

4 DisgrsccfuI Corner.

TO the Editor of the Evening Star:
One of the most remarkable instances
of official neglect can be seen at the
Four Corners. and il is~an ugly adVer-
tisement for a big city like this, as it
is al these corners that strangers size
it W..
This instance OF official neglect is
the condition of the sidewalk and the
erosswaIk al the northeast corner, the
site of the new s~kyscraper. The side
walk and the crosswalk at this point
are practically one, the gutter being q
mere hazy outline. During the rainy
days there was a mass of dirty water
at this point In consequence. There
will be more If the present conditions
are allowed to exist.
1t was bad enough TO "a had this
important corner blocked for months.
Now that some relief has been afforded
in this ~respect. the present trouble APP
pears all the more offensive.

MARX TWAIN.

90 IT Z has gone TO the land Of No Laughter; the man who made
IEl mirth for us all" TO many thousands OF people IN the
United States the passing away of Mark Twain comes
with a feeling of personal bereavement. For no other great Amer
lean writer appealed so strongly To the human side of the American
people. Samuel Tanghorne Clemens came from the people and drew
his inspiration from American life and character. He was trained
in the practical school out of which have been graduated so many
men eminent in all The walks of life and masters in the great actlvl
ties of our nation. The distinguishing characteristics III his literary
work was his humor. and il is he quality of that humor that gives
snch a surprising charm 10 his works and that made the whole
civilized world his friend. Human life is full of shadows. and blessed
be he who writes something to dispel them. Sorrow. despondency
and tears are inseparablc 10 the lot of man. and here was Il writer.
who made innocent mirth for all: who in the pathos he employed.
made us laugh through our tears: who never wrote an unworthy line
~ writer who honored american literature so highly and whose
works will be cherished with those of the greatest literary geniuses
our country has produced.

about the methods Of expert account
ants, the men, / mean, who are regu-
larly employed by a municipality to
look over the books of officials who
handle the peoples money, either d.
rectly or indirectly. But it does seem
to me in view of recent disclosures In

from perfect. In other words, l want
to know, as a layman, how it is that

the tangle has gone where it is often
impossible to lay hands on him. These

INTO THE ALBANY MUCK HEAP.

67A HERE will now open al Albany an investigation Of legislative
crookedness that will be general, not individual, and Gov
ernor Hughes will be behind it with a piuless purpose to
probe to the bottom of things. The recent insurance investigation
in New York brought out sa Iient facts. The State Insurance Com
mission has nc such power of investigation a S il legislative com.
mittee will possess. but the revelations made by this inquiry fur
nished important pointers for the probe soon TO begin. For several
years the Black Horse Cavalry AT Albany had a picturesque
career. 1T was so picturesquely described that people did not realize
that the term concealed a vast Legislative rottenness. Into this
muck heap the probe is 10 go, and. pushed by Governor Hughes, it
will go deep and cause an awful odor in the State.
