CROKER ON TAMMANY.

Mr. Richard Croker is quoted in the cables as
rushing to the defense of Tammany and to vicious
assault on the memory of Mayor Gaynor. Mr..
Croker protests that Tammany gives the town of
New York better and cheaper government than the
sreformers have done when they had the chance,
and he INDUCES he usual of the boss against
man like Gaynor who he says lover of pub
liciy.
Suppose he was? Publicity is mighty good
thing in the public service Of course it has never
been much in Tammanys line. Honest graft" as
famous Tammany leader called it, would not look
SO honest if t.has much publicity as could be de-
sired. ~ g-.
E But the meanest thing in the Croker interview
is the innuendo against Gaynor for leaving a for
tune when he died What would the public have
said if a Tammany mayor had amassed fortune out
,of lifetime OF offceholding?
Now, Mr. Croker misses the point entirely As
the public sees things mans possession of for
tune doesn't indicate rascaty; though it is easy to
understand why "a ram withra fortune gotten as
.Crekers was should assume it must. man with
the ability to make fortune for himself would pre-
sumably possess ability to serve the public well.
But between men of the .Gaynor type and those of
the Iammany leadership type there is this very wide
difference: The Tanlrrian" man looks upon the pub
lie service the control o.; politics. as perfectly
legitimate field for exploitation in behalf of his per-
sonal fortunes Croker does that; so does Murphy;
so do the contractor politicians the honest graft
Eers, everywhere; Even if these men could make
their fortunes support their Machines and still pro-
vide government Just as cheap anybody else they
would be a bad and denoralizns lot They should

THE GENERAL sTRlKE"-UPslDE DOWN

The Times had occasion to comment recently on
the methods which the British government has an
nounced it will employ to subdue Ulster, If Ulster
lets its enthusiasm run away with its discretion and
really gets boisterous in opposing home rule. The
London government is not gons to do anything fool
ish it isn't prepared to furnish any laurel chaples
or martyrs crowns to seekers after notoriety 1t
knows better than to take tn. revolt too seriously.
So it has announced that if Ulster kicks up any
didoes its mail and telegraph service will be entirely
suspended until it changes its mind
When great, imperial government adopts so
simple, sensible, moderate, and probably eficacious
plan of enforcing its conditions, the impulse is to
applaud 1t is so much better than to call out the
militia, parade lot of relocated regulars through
Belfast, crack some heads, encourage foolish people
to 90 looking for trouble, and generally make bad
matter worse. Vastly better to stop the mails the
telegraphs, the telephone service, and the railroad
trains if need be- and let the obstreperous province
have time and secluson in which to think matters
over calmly. - -.-
The British government, in Short is simply putting
the reverse English on the genera. ssrke: 1t has
taken lesson from the Belgian socialists and the
French railroad employees. 1t has announced con-
version to the methods of the up-todate labor move
ment.
government calls out the postal and railroad en-
poyes, in order to punish Ulster, the labor unions
call them out in order to punish Belgium. 1t will
be recalled that when the general strike was put
in Belgium and took some 70 per cent Of the work
ers away from their tasks it required but few days
to bring settlement that quite satisfied the work
ers.. Ihereupon they returned to their employment
and Belgium resumed business. Nobody had been
hurt business had not suffered save from the few
days suspension there had been rioting, dynamit
ing, piflaging Nobody had had time to starve to
death; the shock was quickly over. !
government shutting down its public service
facilities exactly parallels this Belgian system Of get
ting action with the least possible trouble. The rad
ical government in Britain is strongly impregnated
with the Sentiment of the labor unionists, who have
and, indeed, sustained it. Consciously or
the government has been carried TO
the point of adopting the very newest weapon of
unionism. When we observe a great government
employing that weapon are compelled to conceds|
at once its efficacy and its simplicity. Also We are
reminded that sauce for the goose is sauce for the
lander

"A CENSUS oVERHAULING.

kssThomass Mott Osborne, anti-T Tammany Democratic

real problems OF everyday life, cannot

principles Of government.
Suppose We put the question here men-
toned to our critics.
Does the negro belong to the labor
class?" Labor leaders say. and the
record Of Congress shows. that the DEM
ocratic party has been more favorable
to labor than the Repub11can party has.

Caryville, May 2o.-CaryviIIe remains
In statu quo and the usual signs Of
prosperity show in every direction.
The vast improvements made by the
Henderson Waits Lumber Co. are ap-
parent. The town is full of business,
and the big mill plant is running a full
crew day and night. Several log trains
bring hundreds Of logs from the ex-
tensive domain of this company every
day. The new electric light plant is
also an addition which adorns the
town with its vast array of lights and
adds a beauty and grandeur to this
modern saw mill plant. The turpen-
tine interest of this company under
the management Of o. s. Morgan is
perhaps one of the largest and most
successful in the state or In the South.
Hundreds of barrels of spirits of tur-
pentine are shipped weekly for the
eastern market. The magic growth Of
both the town of Caryville and tur-
pentine interest near here by the addi-
ton of more than $50 new tenement
houses has brought several hundred
laborers, many of whom have families
to this part Of Washington county. It
must not be forgotten that the log
railroad running in a southea sterly di-
rection from Caryville is now only
about six miles from the south side
Of the town Of Chipley. Lee D.
Thompson, the general manager Of the
logging business of this company, is
pushing this RAILROAD farther eastward
every day, preparatory for handling the
timber for the big mill at Caryville a.
