THE RETIREMENT OF PARTRIDOF. ‘The announcement that the retirement of Police Com- (milssioner Partridge may be expected within a fortnight ‘will be received with mingled feelings of relief and re- ‘the Commissioner is not the right man for the place, and this solely because owing to his age and mental habits he lacks the vigor, energy and sternness needed ‘to make the force what it ought to be. With regret be- -eause his retirement wil] be a confession of the failure of the reform administration in the most important of all the reforms it had promised and undertaken. We need hardly insist that the question of poHce reform in this city is far graver than the question of municipal finances. | Anything which discredits the present reform ad-/ ministration or lessens its prestige ts a distinct loss to/ the cause of good municipal government. As far as New| York is concerned the whole issue of reform government | for an indefinite future must stand or fall with the Low | ¢ administration. If we cannot establish decent municipal | ‘conditions on a firm basis under Mayor Low we cannot |? @xpect to do it under any one, and every citizen who de- | sires to avert @ return to Tammany’s disgraceful onal: tions must give Mayor Low and his administration his | ¢ hearty support and his good wishes. | It Is accordingly a pleasure to do justice to the merits of Commissioner Partridge and to point out the vital fact that his control of the force has marked the turning- point between corruption and honesty. If he has not! ‘been able to wholly remove obvious evils he has pre-| ¢ pared a good foundation for that complete reform which | « ‘we have a right to expect from a younger and more vig- | orous successor. The Limit.—From Liverpool comes the sinister rumor that ‘the proposed Morganization of the world's ocean shipping trade will not go through. Huns the industry of trust pro- | moting reached its limit? SOMETHING LEFT TO BE DON é The verdict of the Coroner's Jury that Albert C. Lati-| 3) mer was murdered “by some person unknown” is a ver- © dict quite in accordance with the evidence. It 1s a satiee factory and common-sense finding. The obligation gtill Tests on the police to discover the murderer, but without a clue to guide them, without even a “theory” left, it Is useless to expect that they will accomplish anything dennite in clearing up the mystery of the crime. If it is| 3 revealed at all chance alone will do it. § 4) Something that they might do greatly to the service ‘of the community, something quite within their power: is to hold a number of the witnesses to account for the é unfounded tales of scandal told to the gossip-hearing | + jury. Is there no one of these witnesses against whom | + an indictment for perjury might lie? What about Park-| ‘ er’s extraordinary story? Were there some shreds of | truth in it or was it a fabrication out of whole cldth? Whatever the merits of his story {t would be to the in- terest and advantage of the public to know more about Parker.

What a blessing it would be if we could borrow him If only for one term of court! K Because Judge Fort has demonstrated that the way, to suppress gambling is to suppress it, and when he un- dertakes a job of that kind he makes a clean Job of It, and he does not waste y time on it, With one well-| p: al ed blow he has swept away the whole notorious | anc impudent gambling industry of Long Branch, haa) Scattered the gamblers in consternation and it is sa to! say that gambling will never again flaunt its dishonest Jure in Long Branch as long as Judge Franklin Fort holds jurisdiction i Above all, Judge Fort seems to have had no dimeulty in asserting the supremacy of the Jaw. If these things ¢an be done in New Jersey and done so easily why can | they not be done in New York? | THE PERPETUAL FRANCHISE, Borough President Cantor persists to the Pennsvivania tunnel franchise.
