Boss Murphy ainounces that he tas “nothing more to say” on the ton of the five Tammany Senators who helped to kill the 80-cent gas His order to his followers is to “forget gas.” ‘The people have a lot more to say. They are saying some of it ood and sfrong, They will finish their remarks at the polls in mber, And if consideration of the public interest shall rise above low partisanship that “works for its own pocket all the time” the amany graft and boodle gangs will think they have been hit by a cyclone when the people's observations are ended. They won't “forget ” Votes at Albany against cheap gas by men who always vote as they fre told count for more than words in Fourteenth street or at the City Hall in favor of cheap gas. The District-Aittorney must regret not having called Justice Davis "as a witness in the last trial of Nan Patterson, He seems to know just how the shooting happened, and tells of it in an after-dinner speech, © And--still newspapers are often called “sensational” by distinguished} jurists, GENTLEMEN WE OESIBE TO SuBMmi'r SOME + BUSINESS propasiy FoR You TIONS ppROVAL.-< ' THE GOVERNOR'S HAND, Gov, Higgins won deserved credit for several good things which he) did and for some bad things—like the Niagara grab—which he helped to| prevent during the recent session of the Legislature. But he will really’ “show his hand” more completely in the appointments which he now has, to make than in anything he has yet done. | He is to appoint a State Lighting Commission of three mempers, | having vast powers for good or evil; a State Water Commission of three! members, also having great power, and two additional Railroad Commis. | rs, _ It is stated that none of these appointments will be made until the return of State Chairman Odell from abroad. If this shall prove to be the! case it will indicate clearly that the appointments are to bé made more! with a view to machine politics than to the public good. The Sun prints & story that Odell said before leaving the country that he “owned Higgins, body, boots and breeches,” This does not sound like the rather silent and | very crafty “Ben” Odell! Nor is Gov. Higgins’s public record that of a man who has been “owned” by anybody. Nevertheless these commission appointments will be illuminating, New York City has no representative on the State Railroad Commission. It should have a man of the highest ability and character to look after the| interests of its people; yet the man suggested for a place is known chiefly as a Republican district leader. And for the, other place Aldridge, of’Roch- ester, the man under whose administration of the Public Works $9,000,000 ‘were wasted or stolen on the canals. 4 When Gov. Higgins shows his hand.in these commission appoint- ments the people will: know just what he is in the State House for. i bi iw F q The Park Row ‘pavement is still a disgrace—the Subway hog con- tinues to carry stinking cigar stubs into the cars, A CASHIER AND THE LAW. Suffolk County’s District-Attomey has aroused the indignation of the directors of the Sag Harbor bank by causing the arrest of the de- faulting cashier.. The, directors were arranging a compromise with the ~ cashier by which part of the money which he had stolen would be re- turned in consideration of his escape from punishment, The cashier had many friends who were willing to: contribute to keep him out of jail, a If the cashier had been a petty thief. who stole a few dollars the di- ; rectors would probably have been prompt in prosecuting him, As it was, he took so large an amount that instead of causing his arrest the directors treated him with consideration and dickered with him over the terms of compromise. ‘ ‘The only right thing for the District-Attorney to do was to perform his duty. That is what he is paid for déing, and what his oath of office requires. It Is not the petty thieves who cause the most demoralization and whose success breeds new erops of criminals, but the great, successful thieves who compromise for part of what they have stolen and are able a to live in-idleness on the remnants of their thefts, Enforcing the law against'the rich and powerful is the very thing the District-Atiorney should do. Stealing to the best of his opportunities, a Poor man cannot get as much in a lifetime as the Suffolk County cashier secured through embezzlements. If the law is to be lax in favor of any one, the weak and friendless, and not the eminent man of respectable ane tecedents, should be let off easy, A murderer now on trial is defended on the ground that, he has dual personality—a real Jekyll and Hyde. Well, if found guilty they might hang the Jekyll and let the Hyde off, THE SUBWAY’S DEAD AIR, As the summer advances atmospheric conditions in the subway grow i steadily worse. It does not need a germomaniac nor an alarmist to find ¥ in the situation cause for apprehension, In winter the underground air, warmer than that above, and con- stantly agitated by the passing trains, rose through station ways and| other openings and produced something of a change, With the coming | of the warm season this shifting of currents has almost ceased. The air in _ thetunnel is already stagnant. Being heavier than the outside air it will hot rise. Unless forced ventilation is provided it must become daily worse. | The blunder of building the present subway without ventilation ‘should be corrected with all promptness.

Policemen paid no attention tc them, and the railroad employees at the termina! were too rat- tled to look after the comfort of adult passengers. On a Fifth avenue train teaving tho Island about 10 o'clock there were half a dozen of these ttle toughs, and what they did to the rar they were in was plenty. “Tho train hands wore too busy keeping tab on each other to do any- thing with the gabby and often profane juvenile passengers. They allow no guilty nickel to escape on the B. R, T, First one man in uniform goes through the train ahd counts the passengers. Another goes through and collects the fares. Still another comes along with a set of books and checks up the rogisters, They are so anxious to make their sheets tally to the company that hoodlusa have unlimited license on the trains, More than that, ut loast three guirds on the train didn’t look to be more than sixteen years cid, and onc of them, on appearance, could have been walloped to a fret by the smallest of the rowdy boys.” “What kind of parents are/thoy who allow ten-year-old boys to be at Coney Island at 10 o'clock at night?” askei the Cigar Store Man, “Maybe they were all orphans,” suggested the Man Higher Up.
