Ryan, Anthony N. Brady, Henry H. Rogers and all that Standard Oi1 implies. It has all been a game, a subterranean, sinister game, its moves worked ut like those of pawns on a chess board. And it was not suspected any More than the gobbling of the Third Avenue road until that was done and (holnas F, Ryan announced his achievement, + Philadelphia rose when menaced with a danger not a shadow as egreat as this, St, Louis rose when confronted with corruption which is ot a bagatelle to this. Minneapolis, Cleveland and other American cities have risen against wrongs not a tithe of what is impending over New York. ja) What will the people of New York do? 7) Their officials have betrayed them. Charles F. Murphy is merely the Standard Oil pasha for Manhattan, as P. H. McCarren is for Brooklyn, Only a few weeks ago Standard Oil bought the State Senate. It owns the State departments, : But the people still have votes. fs WHO GETS IT ALL? George Washington Plunkitt says that The McManus fs an Informer because The McManus publicly accused Plunkitt of charging $500 apiece for ‘he nominations in his district to the Assembly and the Board of | Aldermen, | With the political etiquette of such a public disclosure people outside the Fifteenth District are not concerned, They are, however, very much interested in the statement of fact made by The McManus, If The Mc-|, Manus is an informer there must be some information which he can give and at least one Tammany district leader against whom he can inform. The McManus’s blunt statement, made under great provocation and In the moment of anger, is detailed corroboration of a general belief that Tammany leaders sell public offices for money, What becomes of this money? Even a little 10 per cent, annual payment would aggregate over $3,000,000 a year, and the respective | percentages stated by The McManus were in one case 331-3 per cent. ind in the other case 50 per cent. Is it any wonder that minor public officials like Assemblymen and Aldermen are prone to seek from the public service corporations and others doing business with them money in addition to their salaries when they have to pay such large percentages to get their jobs? What becomes of the many millions collected every year, not only from Tammany office holders but from the corporations which do busi- “ness with the city? Who gets it all and how is it divided? “Opportunity there is for the Tammany leacers who haye been specu-| lating in other stocks in Wall street to capitalize their own annual re- celpts and to establish market quotations on the value of their power to} % exploit the City of New York, FILIPINO VALOR, Corpl. Ponciano Bernarte has received a medal of valor for bravery fn action. The Government at Washington has announced the award. Corpl. Bernarte is a native Filipino, He was a private in the constabu- Mary in a fight with Samar outlaws, and it is for his conduct in continuing ‘to. fight and killing three of the outlaws, although severely wounded with t bolo cut, that he receives this official recognition, | Itis proper to make no distinctions of race in recognizing bravery Corpl. Ponciano Bernarte has the proud honor of being the first Fi ‘pino to receive a medal of valor, ae The People’s Corner.
