A NEWSPAPER'S ACHIEVEMENT. In the long and varied record of municipal corrup- | tion in this country nothing more startling and sensa- tional has ever been brought to light than the exposure of the oath-bound “combine” in the St. Louls House of Melegates, the full details of which were made public yesterday tn the confe ym of Murrell, the former Chairman of the House and leader of the combine. The evidence of Murrell opens the prison gates for every member of the unholy alliance and puts a stop to the business of boodling in the Municipal Assembly of St. Louis. It will also help materially in the efforts of refcrmere to get rid of corruption in other cities. ‘What can be done in St. Louis ean be done elsewhere, and It {s not too much to say that every great city in the coun- try will profit by the cood work done in prosecuting the 4 Bt. Louis ras 1 ‘The full story is not told, however, without giving due credit to a newspaper for its share in the work. It ‘was the Post-Dispatch—the St. Louis end of the New York World—which sent fts representative to find the fugitive Murrell in Mexico and persuaded him to return and deliver himself up and make a confession. The funds at the disposal of the District-Attorney not being sufficient for a thorough prosecution of the Doodlers, the Post-Dispatch has undertaken to raise tho needed amount by subscription. In dotng this the Post- Dispatch has added to its long and honorable list of pub- lic services and illustrates anew the power and Influenca of the dally paver in the discharge of its highest public duty. O'Reilly's Precinct. willing to sign a report that they knew of no houses, pool-rooms or policy shops an thelr posts, but they would not swear, at the Captain's request, that the pre- cinct 1s free from them, A patrolman sometimes surmires more than he tells his captain THE REAL GOVERNOR. While the constitution of Pennsylvania Invests Gov. Stone with certain powers and duties the real Governor of the State. as Gov. Stone found out yesterday, 1s the autocrat who controls the Coal Trust and Issues his orders to the puppet presidents who pretend to manrge ths coal-carrying railroads, ‘That was a remarkable spectacle which was presented yesterday !n connection with the attempt to settle the strike. The Governor of the second greatest State in the Union, accompanted hy the Attorney-General of the Commonwealth and a leading Senator, travels outside of his State to ask for a conference with a private citizen, has a hearing granted to him by proxy, prosents his humble request and argues it for three hours and at the end is politely dismissed with positive assurance that his request is refused What is he going to do about {t? Nothing. Mr. Mor- gan does not care a snap of his finger for the Governor of Penngylvanta, and there 1s no reason why he should. While Goy. Stone wishes the strike to end Gov. Morgan is perfectly willing to let {t go on, and there 1s no doubt which of the two is the real governor in this matter. The Boodlers’ Oath.—Each member of the St. Louls bood- Ing combine solemnly swore “ao help me God" not to reveal the combine’s secrets. The logic which enlisted the afd of the Deity in the execution of a crime was somewhat faulty, MAKINO PROORESS. Judge Dixon in his charge to the Bergen Cuunty érand Jury yesterday laid down the law with regard to “red devils,” He declared that any person driving an automobile at a rate of speed dangerous to other vi hicles or pedestrians was a common nulsance and should be indicted ag such, and further he sald: “If driving along in an automobile at such a high rate of speed | frightens a horse and causes death you will be justified in finding an indictment against the drivers of the ma- ebines for manslaughter.” ‘This is strong and sound and Indicates progress to- ward solving the automobile speed problem. Actual pun- {shment will mean more to a millionaire than the Infilc- tion of a $10 fine. Some months ago we had a rich chauf- four flipping a gold piece in the Centre Street Court in payment of his fine for violation of the speed law and Jeating with the Judge as he did so. This kind of levity would not go very far in Judge Dixon's court. Qpening the Season—The return to town of the auto- tmobiling eet seems to be indicated by yesterday's auto- mobile race on Fifth avenue THE INEFFECTIVE SHAKE-UP. As the result of The World's exposure last Sunday of tho condition of affairs in the Tenderloin Precinct all four of Police Capt. Sheehan's sergeants and two of his roundsmen have been transferred “for the good of the! service.” Concerning this action Commissioner Partridge says: “You cat draw your conclusions from the transfers themselves." Tho conclusion which the public will be apt to draw ig that a transfer of subordinates ts an ineffective rem- edy for a system which detailed policemen to act a6 guardians of the interests of lawbreakers and placed them on duty az lookouts for notorious gambling-houses, Failure No Miacredit.—it ts no discredit to Gov, § of Pennsylvania, to haye failed in his effort to settle the strike. He has at least made tho effort INTERMITTENT LIGHTS, Mr. Jerome yesterday made public some of the re- sults of his nocturnal studies of Tenderloin life, As was to be expected of investigations in the region of the electric glare they have to do with Nght, but they par- ticularly concern the !!uminations of gambling-houses. ‘These, it appears, have some of the properties of coast signals.

With the help of a dictionary and a friend, who taught me the pro- nunclation, I prepared a German speech. Tho day after the festivity I heard the affair being discussed by two gentlemen. Said the first: “I hear the Governor made a speech yesterday and in Germ man?” 1 Second—Yes, and a capital speech was. First—I did not know that the Govere nor could speak German, Second—It was not in German. Firet—Oh, I was told that it was, Second—That's a mistake. He spoke in a kind of Weber and Fields dialeot, but it was eimply !mmense. “Since then,” said Gov. Odell, "I have not attempted to speak in German.” Bishop Potter's Berth. Bishop Potter, while travelling in the South last year, left the train to snatch a hasty meal at a station restaurant. In his haste to return he dropped the check entitling him to a berth in the sleeping car. He was thus forced to sit up in the smoker, Instead of enjoying a more or less comfortable berth, While he sat, considering how much better off he would have been had he not lost this berth check for the sake of a five-minute lunch, a friend passed through the smoker. “Why, Bishop!” he exclaimed. “Why are you here? I thought you'd be in the sleeper before this.” $ Che ‘You Know, Si MARTIN, THAT I WANTED THAT RETARY OF WAR Jos! HE WONT GIT MY Vore OIONT GIVE ME NOTHIN!
