WHAT rs TAlfMAyYs INTEREST,"

WHAT rs TAUMANY'S INTEREST,"
Why Is Tammany SO bent on passing
the charter? Certainly not merely ~
please Mayor Gaynor. Certainly not
merely TO maintain the prestige Of the
organization" That is an argument
used merely TO impress the weak-kneeo
insurgents. There must be something
In it, for Tammany more than has yet
been disclosed There are, of course, doz'
ems Of little "jokers' and petty sources
of graft put in for the benefit of Tam
many. such as have been revealed In the
hasty scrutiny which has been possible
within the last week, but they seem
hardly enough 70 account for the zeal
shown TO overcome opposition and put
the charter on the statute books.
For the sake of these little "jokcrs'' and
small opportunities for graft would Tam
many fiout the decent opinion of the city
and scandalize its sense Of self-respect
by tanning through charter which no
one has had time TO read? For such rel
atively trivial benefits as the, charter
trickily confers would the Hall intlame
the people Of this city against 1t with an
election just coming on? What Is the
secret? is the graft in some OF these
"jokers" bigger than the public has been
led TO suspect? Or is there some huge
graft hidden away for the sake of which
it is worth while to make the whole city
angry?

4 DEUORALIZING PARDON.

In pardoning Captain Hams Governor
Dix has done his utmost to annul the
wholesome effect Of Hains's conviction.
Imprisonment of less than three years
is q totally inadequate punishment for
the mOnstrous and cowardly crime Of
which Hams was found guilty, the
Staying of an unarmed man before a
holiday crowd Of men, women and chill
dren. The sentence which the court i'm
posed, from eight TO sixteen years i'm
prlsonment. was a merciful one for such
a deliberate homicide, and Hams should
have been compelled to serve it out.
The circumstances which Governor Dix
takes into account in releasing the pris-
oner from further punishment had al
ready been taken into account by the
jury when it saved him from the cleo
tric chair
The Hains conviction marked gain
for those who have fought to prevent the
'unwritten law from coming TO be ac-
Cepted by juries and by public opinion in
this state. When it was obtained every
one who wished to preserve respect for
law i'm New York felt sense Of relief
Hysteria had not wholly taken the place
Of justice i'm crimes where "A violation Of
domestic sanctity was alleged, and the

the weakness Of Governor Dix tends TO
undo all the moral effect Of that vindica-
ton of justice. How shall we hold iurics
VI to a sense OF their duty when a
Governor pardons such a murderer as
Hains? flow shall public opinion
against taking the law into ones own
hands when the home is invaded be
kept in n healthy state when a Gov
ernor is moved by the Old mushy plea
