only sixteen came back. With few ex-
ceptions those most prominent in the
trial were elected to stay at home.

for police judge in New York district
controlled by Tammany, where the ma
turai majority is 1000 or 5000. He
barely managed to pull through. Other

these were defeated because their spon-

people was plain. IF Sulzer could
have been a candidate for governor, he
would have been elected by a tremen-
I,!ous majority. His election to the as
scmhly in strong Tammany district
was simply an additional proof Of the
popular feeling. The impeachment was
the greatest mistake. Murphy ever
made but if it shall result, as
every good Democrat should hope,
in the destruction of the cor
rupt organization which has been
a disgrace to the national democratic
party, it will have been a blessing.
The New York result should cheer and
hcarten Democrats everywhere who are
opposed to :Tammanyism. 1t will help

to Sullivanism and the Indiana Demo-
Gratis who are fighting Taggartism, as

The St. Cloud Times and some other
papers are exercised over some paroles
and pardons which have taken place
lately, and are afraid harm will be
done. The members of the board Of
partons and of the board of parole
make no claims to the omniscience and
srfallbility with which some folks set
tie cf1hand some Of the most puzzling
questions Of criminology, and no doubt
make mistakes, as any other six men
would do. 1t is not clear, on the
whole, that they have been unduly
~ scnttmental.'' The principle that un-
dC-bes the modern treatment of the
criminal is not vengeance or revenge
cr punishment for punishment sake,
bay reformation, the making, not the
seonrging Of men. When the board of
parole believes man is fit to 80 out
and be honest. and upright, it is its duty
10 give him such a chance. That is
What it is created for, and if it should
aappen that mistakes are occasionally
mage, that would not be strange, for
the making Of mistakes is a common
trailty Of mankind, including judges,
,lu7ies and - we regret to say - some
times newspapers. The Herald is not
altogether sure, for instance, that Du-
mas should have been paroled, but if the
ma" from now ON is q decent citizen,
that certainly is an achievement to the
credit Of the methods which have
transformed him. In the case Of the
iier Wold, whose sentence was com
routea by the state board of pardons
and who was paroled, there was seri-
GUS doubt as to the merits of the orig
jnal sentence, and many thousands of
people in this state of Norwegian de-
scent who became interested ia this
case, as we'll az others who 1nvestigat
