Each and 2l will be conscious that a political pull or influence would be worth more than any excellence they might show before the examiners. Out of that feeling there will naturally come a reliance upon underhand methods, and the Commissioners will be tempted more and more to continue down the wrong path on which they have started The evil is one of 1.0 small magnitude. It shouid rot be overlooked by the public even in the excite- ments of the closing days of the Presidential cam- paign. A gross wrong has been done to applicants for positions as bookkeepers in the city offices by this act of favoritism which raises one of their number over the heads of others who under the rules were rightly given priority. full measure of the unfairness of the Commissioners has been discovered. Many similar frauds in making up the list of eligibles may have been committed of which the public will never be aware. There is but one remedy for the evil. of these frauds should be expelled from an office they have disgraced. That much the public demands in the | interests of fair play and official integrity.

HE Republican National Committee has warned 1 the country against the final lying of the Bryan campaign. Bryan’s committee is reduced to the last hope and looks for a desperate chance as the re- | sult of fraud and falsekood, on the same line as the “Morey letter” forgery of 1880. In California great reliance is put upon a renewal of the Chinese scare. The fact is that the policy of Chinese exclusion is safely settled as the permanent policy of the country. Those who represent the contrary to be the fact are not the friends of white labor. They don't care for it, except to assume that it is ignorant enough to throw away its vote on a false issue.

As far as the commcrcinl“ | | ment As was to have been Mr. Cleveland promptly denounced the story as “an unmitigated expected, falsehood, a lie from beginning to end. What must be thought of Bryan, anyway, for the | anxiety he has painfully manifested for the indorse- | ment of Mr. Cleveland? In a normal and wholesome condition of politics what would be more embarrass- | ing to Mr. Bryan than the support of Mr. Cleveland | and Richard Olney? He and his gang abused them both, vituperating them in every way known to par- tisan misrepresentation in 1896. The convention t nominated Bryan hissed Cleveland. In the last ses- sion of Congress, during the debate on the gold stan- dard bill, when Jefferson Levy and other sound money Democrats mentipned Cleveland the Bryan crowd in the House hissed and hooted. Therefore it is evident that Mr. Bryan's campaign | is on its last leg when he shows such a feverish anxiety for Cleveland’s indorsement that his support- | ers seek to get its effect by publishing “an unmitigated falsehood, a lie from beginning to end.” In this last campaign lie there is another elem==t | that is of interest. The Hearst vellow papers are so | thoroughly discredited that even the truth published in them is cast out and not believed. Therefere the Bryan gang had to resort to a paper heretofore re- | spectable, and selected the Philadelphia Times It must be very painful for Colonel McClure to have his paper made the medium of such a transparent cam- paign falsehood and be brought within the withering characterization which sprang so promptly from Mr. Cleveland's justifiable indignation. e s s THE TROUBLES OF ROBERTS. DOBERTS' victories in South Africa were the | elections. main cause of the Tory victory in the British Salisbury and Chamberlain are now safe, and the former is proceeding quietly with the | work or reconstructing his Ministry. He has great | honors in store for Roberts. When the field marshai | returns home he will be made commander in chief of | the army, and may doubtless have an earldom and n“ fortune bestowed upon him; for with all her faults | Great Britain is never niggardly toward the heroes who uphold her flag in war. With all those honors and rewards in store for him, however, Roberts is not happy. He has not yet returned home and it is not certain when he will be able to do so. He has troubles where he is. When Kruger gave up the fight and betook himself out of the field of war to a safe seclusion the British | confidently predicted the remaining Boers would soon lay down their arms and the work of administering the conquered province in peace would be well under way before the close of October. The month is near the end, but war in the Transvaal goes on. A few days ! ago the British authorities at Pretoria with solemn | ceremonies and stately military display proclaimed the | Transvaal a part of the British empire and raised her Majesty's standard over the capital. Even while that ceremony was going on Dewet had resumed the | offensive, President Steyn of the Orange Free State i had set up a new capital for that republic at Fouries- I | bourg, and a hundred evidences were given that Kru- ger’s absence had hardly been noted by his country- men. The summary sent out from London of the reports received from Roberts giving an account of the fight- | ing on the 25th says: “The British losses were heavier than at first re- | ported. An additional officer and twelve men were | killed and three officers and twenty-five men were wounded. The Boers left twenty-four dead and nine- | teen wounded on the field and twenty-six Boers were | made prisoners.” The dispatch also refers to minor affairs in which the troops of General Kitchener and ; General Methuen ‘were engaged, and a serious incident lbetween Springfontein and Filipolis, Orange River Colony, where fifty cavalrymen were ambushed and | captured by the Boers, only seven of the party escap- | {ing. Another dispatch from Lord Roberts says: | | “Barton attacked the ubiquitous Dewet near Freder- |ickstadt. The Boers were scattered in all directions.” Such reports make clear the fact that the pacifica- tion of the Transvaal is going to be a long and a difii- cult task. The British are growing weary and impa- tient of the resistance made by “the ubiquitous De- | wet” and some of the more influential papers of Lon- | don are clamoring for the adoption of severe meas- ures. The Saturday Review advises Roberts to take “a lesson from one who was a greater soldier than he, | like the North American. | for his means of support are invisible. | accumulated a fortune amounting to twenty millions | blackmail | istration of Mayor Strong. namely, Caesar, and ruthlessly suppress the rebellion.” The Globe begs him to remember: “The truest mercy in the present case is to be merciless.” These and other frantic cries of London critics are not going to help Roberts much. His troubles are not of a kind that can be lightened by the adoption of such tactics as the critics call for. In this connection it is worth noting that British officers and newspaper correspondents who have re- turned to London have contradicted many of the sto- ries of Boer cruelties told during the early days of the war. The London Chronicle, for example, quotes | this statement from J. Angus Hamilton, who was in Mafeking during the siege: “During the progress of the fight we constantly caught glimpses of the Red Cross flag, escorting one or other of these gallant ladies (Mrs, Buchan and Miss Crawfurd) to points where wounded Boers were lying. | Throughout the fight the Boers respected the conven- tions, rcpeétedly expressing their appreciation and their gratitude for the”services of these ladies. For this courtesy Commandant Eloff was largely respon- sible, and indeed, if there was any abuse of the Red Cross flag the blame of such disrespect cannot be charged against the enemy, since our side, I under- stand, issued orders that the men of the firing line were not to take notice of any white flags which the | Boers displayed. The enemy respected its conven- | tions, treated the prisoners humanely, and behaved throughout a situation almost maddening from the strain which it must have imposed upon them, with conspicuous gallantry, coolness and consideration.” With an enemy of that kind Roberts is hardly likely to resort to the war tactics of Caesar’s time. More- over, it is now evident the Boers are of stuff too stub. born to be tamed by harshness. Dewet is proving himself to be one of the greatest guerrilla leaders of all time, and in every way a worthy antagonist of the great field marshal who upholds the empire. l Review Richard Croker appears as a publicist; and the sole available expounder of Democracy! Even a Republican may be excused for deploring the fate of that party, which has so fallen from its high estate that no pen but that handled by the boss of Tam- mwany can be found to defend it in a leading Review In his labored and incon- sequential article -he tries to catch young men by decrying existing conditions as inimical to their ad- vancement, and especially to their advance in poli- tics. Ever since Croker got out of jail and escaped hang- ing for a cowardly murder which he committed, owing his neck to Tammany corruption and influence with the courts, he has been advancing in politics. He has not since then done a day’s work, nor been in any business. Legally he has been a vagrant, a vagabond, CROKER’S OPINION. N a political symposium in the North American of dollars, owns a racing estate in England and flour- ishes the purse of a Nabob and the style of an oriental Prince. His son, Richard Croker Jr., has just matriculated for a law course at Cornell University. He has leased the Forrest place, a sumptuous country seat a mile from the college grounds, and has installed there his establishment, consisting of valets, a corps of English house servants, horses and carriages, four English bulldogs for which he paid $10,000, his favorite road horse Flora and a tandem team which he drives every morning to lectures. This sprig of theft and crime in politics certainly has no complaint to make about a lack of chance. His | thrifty father knows the goddess of chance very well. For his benefit Tammany assesses her devotees a fat every vear. Bishop Potter has recently published the resuits of an investigation carefully made by him, which shows that Croker blackmails vice in New York to the amount of $5,000.000 a year. Controlling the police and the courts, he exacts toll from debauchery, gambling and theft. He fattens on the vice and crime of that great city. When wanton, thief or gambler refuses to divide with him his police atrest and his courts punish the delinquent, not be- cause they are guilty of crime, but because they have refused to divide its proceeds with Croker. It is the boast of Croker and Tammany that statis- tics show less crime in New York than in other large cities. That is true, but the statistics are of the con- victions in Croker’s courts, where none are convicted that divide with him, He has also pointed to the ap- parent increase of cfime in the city during the admin- For this he goes to the same source, court statistics. when Tammany was out of power vice and crime could not be protected by Dick Croker and were pun- ished by the courts. There was another reason. When in power Croker keeps a large contingent of crimi- nals, murderers, thieves, pickpockets and that class on the public payroll. Being a jailbird himself he ha. a fellow feeling for them and finds them useful in his | business, which is politics. When Strong was Mayor these criminals were dis- missed from office, and many passed from the pay- roll te the police court, for they had to resort to their regular business of cutting throats and purses | for a living. Enjoying his full stomach, replete with Mr. Croker’s bounty at a feast which cost $12 a plate, Mr. Bryan exclaimed in Cooper Union. “Great is Tammany, and Croker is its prophet.” Decent people, however, may object to a national administration of which Croker will be the prophet. The local Civil Service Commission, which has been caught in a palpable fraud, evidently believes that when a fellow is nabbed it is unprofessional to peach on his pals. It is easy to understand now what one of the Commissioners meant when he assured his | friends that they would get a square deal. Recent revelations in the records Reem to be con- clusive proof that Assemblyman Henry C. Dibble and State Senator “Eddie” Wolfe have taken pains to earn the characterization of the “tall man and the skort man” of legislative holdups. e Ry The aged San Jose man who obtained a wifs through a marriage agency and now is accused by her oi dislmtance, robbery, burglary and attempted mur- der ought to make a good advance agent for a firm of marriage brokers. —_— William Jennings Bryan asserts with great fervor that he seeks to win the good will of his countrymen, He is not so eager 1o admit the more palpable fact that for four years he has been translating that good will into coin, Sl The Oakland Water Company has confessed that it has not burned all of its books.
