Coroner Hoeber’s defense of the legal- fty of his ante-mortem inquest in the Hannigan case is of no consequence. He ts accused not of illegality, but of fnhumanity, and of that he is as guilty Qs ever a man could be. That he was probably honest in his Motives does not relieve the scandal of Ais actions. His so-called “inquisition” was entirely unnecessary. ‘The case {was a perfectly simple one.

He needed neither ‘Witnesses nor jury, and one visit by Rimself waa all that was necessary. The affair need have attracted no public ‘attention until the girl was dead Instead of this, Hosher fussed and @ackled over the case like an old hen ever her eggs. He exhibited his official ignorance in a score of ways and made ‘Bis lack of sense and discretion a pub- Mic scandal. A Coroner should combine a shrewd @etective instinct, a good knowledge of Jaw and the delicacy and discretion of @m undertaker.

No matter how honest a citizen and pleasent a gentleman he may be In pri- vate lif ‘& pubile officer he is inca- able and insufferable. His continuance 4n office cannot fail to be a scandul to the community and a burden to himself. “He should redeem his good faith and vindicate the honesty of his purposes iy Tesigning at once FALSE HOPES. ‘ Some special despatches from Albany bring the gratifying intelligence—grat!- fying at least to reformers—that “Platt’s forces” are weakening, and that there @re unmistakable signs that he cannot) hold his followers together. But alas! the general news from the Btate capital scarcely confirms these hopeful special reports, The Albany Po- Ace bill, notoriously a Platt machine Measure, goes through smoothly, al- though it is a really scandalous bill with mo feature of justice or reform to ex- cuse its passage. ‘Then the New York Police bills come up in the Senate, and though there ts considerable talk about sMbolting the Republican caucus,” the selaborately prepared Police bills of the *“meddlesome" Committee of Seventy ure Conaigned to the grave of Senator Lex while the Platt’s Police Dills are advanced to a third reading, the vote, 17 to 11, giving rezsonable as- Burance that they will prs tne Senate wext Tuesday.

POLITICS AND BANKING. The examination of the officers of the / Chenango Valley Savings Bank at Bing- hamton yesterday brought out some -ourious features, The counsel for the @efendants, Tracy R. Morgan and D. L. Brownson, who are charged with bur- lary and larceny, attempted to show a Political motive for the closing of the bank. He claimed that the Bank Ex- miner went into the Chenango Valley Bank with the purpose of wrecking it Because {t was Republican, while the Binghamton Savings Bank was Demo- @ratic, But the Examiner téstified that “he was wholly unaware of the political “e@haracter of elther bank, and the counsel only succeeded in emphasizing the fact that there was considerable politics in \pite Chenango Valiey Ban! ~_ Bupt. Preston shows that the def- 5 si y in the bank in $205,566. The de- | ferdants, Morgan and Brownson, were aught carrying off from the bank s pq Peeket full of what they alleged wore af tel.and private papers. But it con- oe i tm shares, many storekeepers in Washington take these quotas as cash for goods supplied to the members and then dispose of them to countrymen. ‘This 1» Httle removed from fraud on the Government and robbery of the peo- ple. The Government supplies the seed for the use of the people, and th Ccn- gressmen receive it only in trust for their constituents. No meaner practice than the eale of this seed can be conceived. Secretary Morton promises to print in his next annual report the name of every Con- gressman whom he may find to have sold or transferred his quota. It ts to be hoped he will do so. Indee, his fuii- ure to keep his word would be proof that he had by some means been si- lene But why should not the Secretary make @ special report at once, and thus let the people know the names of Con- gressmen who are guilty of the mean- ness? A NON-COMPLYING WI) Joseph Jackwon, of Laporte, Ind., who in described as a politician, and at one time a prominent clergyman, committed suicide yesterday, He was driven to the act, it tr sal because of the un- accommodating character of his wife.

He wanted her to let him kill her, and assured ber that immediately he had seen her comfortably dead he would kill himself. Mrs, Jackson ob- Jected to the family arrangement, and kept a strict watch on her husband to guard against his carrying out the pro- ramme without her consent, Yesterday, finding his powers of per- suasion ineffectual, Mr. Jackson took his own life, This will be a warning to married ladies not to oppos? the wishes of their Mege lords and masters. If Mra, Jackson had yielded to the solicl- tations of her late husband she would not now be a widow. TWO OF THE MAYOR'S CALLERS. Now Russell Bage ts one of Mayor Strong's callers at the City Hall, He dropped In yesterday—anout tea-time— and the Executive and the penny-piling militonaire had a quiet Httle tete-a- tete, What it was all about nobody knows but themselvei A while #go Hetty Green was a visitor in Mayor Strong's office. She called several times and took tea, we suppose. Once her call was announced several days ahead, and there vas turpr among recherche City Hallers that no canopy or carpet stretched down the steps of the building to the drive for the occasion, an we sec town when there 1s a swell receptiv But Hetty didn't mind the omisston. She had her tete-a-tetes, and they were all she wanted apparently. What they were about nobody but she und the Mayo. yet knows, There 1s some mystery about these Sage and Green visits. Do the two poor old multi-millionaires want jobs—or What? It 1s hinted that Sage wants to be Charity Commissioner, Perhaps thie is so, and Hetty wants the Mayor to fix it so that Russell can't cut down her allowance of coal, &c., after he gets into offic cor Eight lawyers of unquestioned ability and stending, declare the Platt-Lexow police bills unconstitutional; the united good citizenship of the metropolis de- clares them positively opposed to the principles of good municipal govern- ment. Will the State Senate deliber- ately overlook these things, in blind obedience to a selfish, short-sighted Ri- dtculous Boss?

Hence his vain tears and regrets, = Mrs. Lease, of Kansas, has a head that ts full of business bumps. She has just refused to run for Mayor of Wichita, Kan,, because the present po- | {tial Job she holds pays her three or four times as much as Wichita’s Mayor's salary “The voice of the people expressed last November tn New York City was not in accordance with either of these bills." ‘That word from the Mayor jought, alone, to settle the fate of the Platt-Lexow police measures. Great Britain's possible plot for Nica- ragua is one thing. “A Plot for a Million” is another. It is the latter that with It. some fortunate guesner. You may be the one, “A Plot for a Million” in the morning edition of ‘The World” gives you your clue. Senator O'Connor says he never knew @ man to betray his party that he did not live to regret it. Then the Senator must expect to live to regret betraying his party to Platt. That's what he's doing. “Ran it as Lexow did," tn the ery over the Syracuse Investigation. That's all right for the beginning. But the se- quel should be different. Lexow ran away from his, a little later. It's a good time for Mayor Strong to strike out the old Platt-Tammany Police Board. The ict might help out wonder- fully for a certain result In the State Senate next Tuesday. If Andy White had been content to re- main or the pole bench, Platt could have saved him for a time, at least, ay he In saving Divver, Koch, Gray, et al “No settlement in New Orleai Belt. interest ought to open a way to one, if other forces can't.

We know this must be true because they say so themselves, What would a toga-wearer of mighty old Rome have thought of some 8 torlal make-belleves at Alba For a good guesser, $1,000 in gold.

Facts Concerning Fu The Russian sable has had a great vogue for some years, after a long peri- od of unfashionableness, and has once again become scarce. It is possible that this very beautiful fur may be driven out of fashion once more by Inferior- dyed skins that are sent to market under the name of sable. A real sable of best quality brings very nearly as much as a best quality silver fox, tak- ing Rize and price into consideration. ‘four eggs she juice, the skins and a cup of cold water on the back part of the stove to simmer a few moments, having Uberally added sugar.

To the Editor: ‘Your paper that will gt plaints, I hay weems to be the only ene notice of the people's com- a few’ words to say on the con- ition of Eignth avenue, from Fourteenth atre to Fifty-ninth street. This thoroughfare was as- phalted a few years ago, and the company that did the work was to keep it In repair for ten years, It has been repaired every year up tll 1895, when {t seems that the funds or something else gave out. My opinion is that the material was not strong enough for the heavy traffic on Eighth avenue, and the result is ite present condition, If the material was good, the streets! would be in better condition tham they now are. | no matter how heavy the trucking 1s Can It be possible that it 1s another one of thore deals’ by which the city ts the loser, and few favored politicians get - little of the “ple. There 1 some talk of repaving the atreets. This {dea 1s preporterous. It would cost less for the city to repair the asphalt for ten y than to repave it with the proper granite blocks, Call the ‘‘reformers' "* attention to this. EIGHTH AVENUB RESIDENTS.

The doctrine of Socialism is a government, according to our present state of culture and civilization, to give everybody a chance to earn bis own crop, Kinga, princes, miliionaires and other {dlers, which now live on the fat of the land, as well ‘ax tramps and unemployed laborers, will be given places to do some good for the community, Twen- ty per cent, of the present number of men work- ing ten hours a day {# suMclent to produce all that {9 necessary for themselves and the rest, So this would reduce the time of labor trom ten to four hours daily, and for many | that perform hard work till leas; then | everybody would have plenty and make an honest living. While there {8 no capital oF profit gathered, each one gets the full value of his work, with very little abrasion for the unfortunate sick and old people. To put it in « nutshell, Socialism is m government of brotherly love, one for all and all for one—as It is possible to make life agreeable for every human being. A FRIEND OF MANKIND. Them Trampst Why Cal To the Editor: Sometimes I notice, through the public press, that so-called tramps are driven out of that and this town, Now, I would like to know, why are those men called tramps? Simply because they can't get work? I iow that most of those men would gladly accept a position, but can't get it. For instance, here fs an example of myself. I ‘am out of work three months already, and get up ‘early every morning, buy all the papers that pub- Mah want spend car fares, and atill, when I reach the place, I find that to every ‘‘ad’* there ‘are 100 applicants at least. Now, it will not be ‘a long time before there will be another tramp. WILLIAM H. W. Maggie's Thirsty Beau.

He drinks, he swears and he tells falsehoods, I have found thim out im lies I told him to atop his drinking, but he will pot do it. When he comes sometimes T have always eee church, but he don't care to go. He will take the clothes off hie back and pawn them for drink. He has spent lots of money. T told him it he did not stop drinking I would not ask him to call again, and 1 have stopped it He tells People I have gone back on him now, and £ don't know what to do about him. We had me quarrel; I simply told him not to call, He came every day. The last time he called I was cool towards him, and that is how he eald § went back on him. Now, the sorriest part ie that I feel sorry for him, but I can't marry him, I don't think he can be trusted.
