These are Bot fancy sketches or whimsical concep- tions of the artists, but actual reproduc- tions of scenes witnessed in the Mayor's Office during the present wi No Mayor before was ever 80 perse- duted by place-hunters. It is not neces- ®ary to assume from this that Reform office-neekers are more numerous or more _« Persistent in the pursuit of office than | Were Tammanyites. Under Tammany ._, the.City Hall was the last place in the ~ city where the game of office could be Buccesefully hunted. At present it ts the only place where such game can be found. The only sure “pull” now ts @ pull on the Mayor himself, and it is Being exercised to an extent that is likely to pull the Mayor all to pieces, physically nd mentally, The conduct of the horde of place- hunters is shameful and inexcusable, but the Mayor ought not to think of resigning. He can do better than that. », , Let him temporarily suspend his demo- cratic anxiety to be at home to every- ~~ Pedy and make ft an absolute rule that until this office-grabbing cr: is over hho will see no one except by appoint- ment. ‘The Mayor's first business is to at. fend to his public duties, and there is .MO sense in allowing them to be inte: wich Fupted or postponed in order that the Fpniee, ROtAry . ~ @uch base ; ,beot ities of @ crowd of hungry @flice-seekers may be received person- lly. Let the place-hunting riff-raff pour ‘their woes into the ears of Private Bec- Hedges, or if he is too good for uses, call in the City Hall or some similar functionary to attend to the office-crazy callers. Doubtiess, conversation with the boot- @lack will do them ae much good Personal solicitation of the Mayor, and Meantime the Mayor can be attending to ‘@ity business and incidentally to his own fhealth and comfort. black A FIGHTING RECORDER. ‘The honorable Recorder of the city of Hoboken is described by the press as a * man of small size and of large valor. ‘Festetday he was on the warpath, and is wrath was excited against the Clerk @f the Hoboken District Court, Henry Mathien, who te also a newspaper re- porter. Mr, Rathjen hed “written up" the *@tory of @ scene between the Recorder ‘end Benator Daly, in which the Criminal Judge did not win any laurels. The encounter was in the office of the Chief of Police, and the Recorder assaulted Mr, Rath) Knocking off his hat. He might have got the better of the Clerk ef the Court, but the reporter was too much for him. The result was « badly whipped Recorder and a demand for Faw beef and oysters au naturel in the eourt of justice. Moral: A Recorder should not attempt @e knock anybody out until he is quite he is strong enough to accom- Bliah his purpose. & DOUBLE RESPONSIBILITY.

Whereupon the new-comer possessed himeelf of the watch and left the victim till safely bound to the tres. ‘The first offense did not justify the second, nor did the second palliate the Gret. The bond deal ought to be investigat- ed, but the action of Congre: the deal possible ought not to be over- looked or excused. THE GAME OLD STORY. Montreal has had a police experience very similar to our own. The abuses in fhe force had become so notorious that Public sentiment forced an investigation, which was made by a committee of seven Aldermen. It was eatisfactorily shown that appointments and promo- tions on the police were paid for; that blackmail for protection was levied on Gisorderiy houses, gambling resorts and other places, and that a system of cor- ruption prevailed throughout the force. ‘The investigation progressed swim- mingly until it sought to discover where the money went that was pald for pos!- tions on the force and then a block oc- cured, As in our own investigation the attempt to “go higher’ was mysteriously defeated. The people are very indignant at this failure of justice, They are not satisfied with the exposure and prosecution of wubordinates in the service while guilty heads are as much under the “protec- tion” of the investigators as the gam- bling hells and disreputable houses were under the protection of the police. 80 they are going to ask the Legislature for a roy2l commission to investigate. Our own experience is that they cannot place any more trust in the Legislature im such matters than in the Aldermen, THE COUNT AND THE CORONET. Misa Anna Gould, the $15,000,000 Amert- caine, is not only going to have a real Count for a husband, but she 1» going to have a coronet, too. This is as it should be. Counts may be picked off every bush in the Old World. They are as thick over there as nickels in a trol- ley conductor's pocket, and a rich young woman can have her pick of them for the mere asking. But to secure with a teal Count a real coronet is almost as rare an achievement as the passing of a dromedary through the optic of a needle. ‘That Miss Gould ts going to get coronet with her titled husband shows that she fs luckier than the general run of girls who acquire noble husbands She ts to have a $40,000 coronet with her natty Mttle Gallic Count. He doesn’t give It to her, but she gets it all the same, Her brother George, who, no doubt, congratulates himself that coro- nets come cheaper than counts, ts hav- Ing one of American make bullt for her and she will wear It on her wedding day —a gift from her own family. We wish Miss Anna Joy with both her Count and her coronet. The only regret we feel concerning her marriage is that her husband 1s not like her coronet, of American make. ‘The Colorado Senate is almost as wild- ‘West-y in its ways as the United States Congress, One Senator threw an ink- stand at another yesterday, and there wi row, in the debris of which four black eyes were counted. There is great skating tn the parks. No further evidence of the flourishing condition of this sport le necessary than the statement that small boys are breaking through the ice with great regularity. Let Mayor Strong give the horde of office-seekers notice that there ts a limit ty executive patience and a point beyond which executive courtesy cannot be strained. Keep ‘em out, every man of them! London's Times opines that the new American loan has proved too great a success, For the syndicate, yes. Uncle Sam could have stood @ Uitte more suc- cess for his own pocket. When the most despicable man of the day is rounded up by the proper authori- ties, he will probably prove to be the one who polsoned those dogs at the Madi- son Square Garden. Mrs. John W. Minturn's conditional gift of $25,000 for a private hospital for contagious diseases should receive MUberal backing. The idea ts a good one, Push it along. Hot Springs, Ark., was a little hotter than usual yesterday. The saddest part of it Is that the fire which consumed five blocks of buildings also destroyed three lives, Who told them at “Little Monte Carlo" when the raiders were coming? And where waa the Sheriff of Westchester County? _ Col, Amos Ruste’s autograph at the foot of a New York baseball contract ts one of the most notable signa of the tames, Congress hae time to provide against any more selling of National bonds in secret and still pass the appropriation bills. Nothing but the fullest penalty the law allows for that dog poisoner of Mai ison Square Garden when caught, Only misrepresentatives of New York State's prevailing sentiment will favor the Gerry Whipping-Post bill. ‘The most remarkable features of this Government's latest financial deal are not written in the bonds. “Rheumatics" should have better judg. ment than to attack a man already suf- fering from office-seckers.
