was shown that most Of the coatTooms

ated under a concession for which large
sum is paid 10 the hotel or restaurant
proprietor The tips which the courtroom
boys receive do not GO into their pockets
but into the pockets of the holder Of the
concession. They work for low wages,
and the gratuities which patrons intend
for them are really contributions to the
capitalist for whom they work.

A CANADIANS VERDICT.
An Analysis Of the Liberal Defeat by
Retired Dominion Politician.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Coming so Unexpectedly and witt

eminent held good IN the recent election
for had It not chung to several aged and
somewhat selfish members who had worn
their welcome out the result would have
been different.
The Premier was a Catholic, and, worse
still a French. Catholic, and while for
time this was not fatal TO his retention OF
office, II did work much against the gov
eminent I'm Ontario and in certain sections
Of the maritime provinces, where the Bsp-
lists are numerous. and particularly where
the Orange element il strong.
That the agreement as accepted by the
American Congress and approved by the
government Of Canada was in the Interest
Of both nations viii be the verdict even oil
the Canadian people in the day Of their
sohriety. That the bargain was one laden
with benefits 10 the people Of Canada the
future will prove and that sorrow for It's
rejection will be felt by the laboring and
farming classes admits Of no doubt but the
frenzy which the Tory party aroused shu'
the door on argument, and the government
went to defeat i'm striving TO give the toll
ers Of this country a measure Of substan-
tial benefit not likely 20 be offered again
by the government and people Of the United
States.
II there are any Americans hoping ior
an awakening OF a feeling Of desire oy the
Canadian people for closer trade relations
between the two countries let them aban-
don the idea. for a generation, at least
England is pouring into Canada the deni-
zens of her slums, while lessened NUMBER

when Canada was a centre Of Southern
plotters and sympathizers, was the feeilns

more in evidence than during the campaign
which has lust ended in disaster TO the po-

ATLANTIC CITY INDICTMENTS.

Machine and anti-machlne grind mer-
rfly on in Atlantic City. y. ]. We re-
Gently remarked upon the action Of the
court in dismissing the grand jury which
had been formed by the Sheriff Of the
county and ordering new one to 10
drawn by specially appointed elisors.
The reason and the result thereof are
now apparent The elisors' grand jury
has indicted the Sheriff for tampering
with election records and ballot boxes,
or for conspiracy so to do; something
which the Sheriff's own grand jury might
not have done Also. it has similarly In
dicted Commodore Louis Kuehnle. the
Grand Exalted and Supreme High Muck
amucl Of the local political machine, and
his chief lieutenants, Bob" Delaney and
Harry" Bacharach, and various other
members Of the Joyous junta, some six
or eight in number
Meantime. the machine, TO demonstrate
its confidence In the integrity Of It's lead
ers, last week proceeded to nominate
Mr.. Bacharach for the office Of Mayor Of
Atlantic City whereUpon he, through his
counsel, demanded a speedy trial, in or
der that the people might know whether
he was a fit ma 10 receive their ballots.
1T is he justly said, can important
"and serious matter TO Mr.. Bacharach
"and 10 the people Of Atlantic City.
This reasonable demand has been com
piled with, and next week will reveal the
| instructive spectacle Of man who is
postmaster Of a considerable city and
the candidate Of its dominant political
party for the mayoralty placed on trial
on an indictment for conspiracy to cor
rupt a primary election.
II may be that he and all the others
will be acquitted 1t would be prefera-
bile to have their innocence thus estab-
lished, though if, unhappily, they are
guilty we must reluctantly hope for their
conviction and punishment But the
most obvious reflection upon the matter
t. that if these men are innocent, and il
elections in Atlantic City have been hon
estly conducted, it is very strange and
very lsmentable that they should have
fallen under so serious suspicion. 1t
really ought TO be possible for men Of
integrity to avoid even the appearance
Of evil. in politics as well as in other
matters. And, seeing that elections are
basic and fundamental 10 our entire sys-
tenn Of government, law and justice, why
cannot they he conducted without re-
proach, as well as the minor processes
which are subordinate 10 them?
