Deputy Commissioner is convinced that the foreman who told about extortion a bad man. So Commissioner Murphy thinks O'Neill, who told about the po- I "shake downs." is bad man, unworthy to Devery and his blackmailing combination.

Such attempts to discredit witnesses, however. deceive nobody. Captain Gibson may find as inn fault an he wants to with the "officer in "the employ of the department whose conception of his duty Is so stunted as to prompt "him To give currency to an abuse that may to extent obtain" without convincing the public that the crime in such a ease is not the abuse itself which he admits may but the teiliug it to outsiders. Now. the man who exposed this corruption ntay as mean and unbrotheiiy toward his as- sociates in the department as any exposed i blackmailer may wish to paint him.

That has nothing to do with the question! He may have i failed technically in his duty by not making a martyr of himself and reporting the extortion to his superiors, though even those superiors hardly pretend in Keriousness that, if he a system, blackmail operation and beiieved It approved by the boad of the depart-in be had any reason to think a report on the subject would be beneficial to the service or safe for hinaM'lf. Of course, it is all very well for Captalu Gibson to preiend that BUCh reports are Invited. Colonel Murphy does the same, but the patrolman who came forward to testify about "shake downs" at the O'Neill trial has by Devery from the bench in Ultimate too obscene to print in a newspaper and subjected a title enormously heavy 111 proportion to hi- alleged olTeuce. It Is no use io cover behind the foreman who for good reason preserves for the present anonymity. The facts as they appear uncontradicted are enough to call for investigation.

Here is this man Mansella. a saloonkeeper, who says he is not In the employ of the and has no official position, acting ns the volunteer spy on the street eleanJnjr force. He admits that he is so engaged. He admits that the department levies fines lit unofficial word. He also admits thai he sells to the em- I ployes of the.

Even Commissioner Xagle will not expect people to believe that hi- Motto st. saloonkeeper, to whom he has practically delegated power of imposing combines disinterested philanthropy with his work of making Name's subordinate-; buy Xagle's chowder party rickets. We note that Captain Gibson, notwithstanding Manilla's admission that he is not an employe of the department, has found him a place and says he an "assistant to section foremen." though no pretence is made that he performs the duties of that office, being, instead, directly under the orders of somethin? as Clennon is under Devery, though nominally attached to a precinct. Such a status only makes the II ml 111 worse. It is bad enough to have I private person peddling tickets to street cleaners and at the same time possessing the power to subject them to lines.

It is a crime for an official to 20 about holding op subordinates by the fear that he will punish those who do not contribute to his collections. Kven if he does nor actually punish them, his confessed employment as a sales agent in itself a constraint upon them amounting 10 a grave scandal. PROMISE Aim FULFILMEST. On May 24 the German-American Reform Union unanimously adopted the following resolution in respect to municipal government and the campaign theu just coming into view: German-American Reform Union, earnestly desiring that the affairs of the city lie uHntniStere4. as are those of every well manaped business, for the advantage of those concerned declares that the candidates for the mayoralty and other offices should be only men of steadfast character and superior reputation, chosen, as are men for important private employments, from persons of proven abil a manifest integrity, who may be act they prefess.

and who will neither use nor Buffer any one else to use their offices foi the benefit of any political orpaimation oi set of persons whatever, and this Union v. ill on with other organizations sincerely and honestls asking the election of such men. Of ibis resolution Mr. Herman Bidder, the leadin- spirit in the German American Reform Union, was presumably the author. In any race he emphatically approved it as a model declaration of the fundamental principle underlying the ami Tammany movement, and he was right.

We have repeatedly cited it as a singularly rood definition of the issue to be decided a few weeks hence, and in our opinion it has not been improved upon by a single one of the many excellent resolutions and statements since put forth in behalf of the various organizations I silipsiitmj the anti-Tammany alliance. But they have all reflected its temper and purpose, and, moreover, action has faithfully corresponded to utterance. Completely subordinating personal preferences and political a great majority of the responsible representatives of those organisations, after a long, patient and open minded consideration of The arguments and individuals presented to their attention, selected candidates for Mayor. Controller and President of the Board of Aldermen as to whose "steadfast "superior reputation. "'proven ability" and 'manifest they enter tamed no doubt whatsoever.

Most of them would have been jrlad if the protracted discussion had led to a different result. They wanted to nominate an independent Democrat for Mayor, but they could not find one who was not convincingly opposed, not necessarily or generally because of a flaw in his personal character, but in almost every cafe because it was reasonably believed that he would prove unable to poll the full anti-Tammany vote. There may be those who grill object to Mr. Low on that "round, but the deliberate judgment of the conferrees was overwhelmingly in his layer at the end of the canvass, and nobody questions his possession of the qualities which the German- American Reform rnion has declared to be indispensable and sufficient. Mr.

Kidder was quoted, perhaps erroneously, as saying in his first disappointment nt the failure to agree upon some other man than Mr. for Mayor that his organization would assuredly support Mi-. Coler in case Tammany should put him at the head of its ticket. He now intimates a doubt on that point, and, believing that Mr. Coler will not be the Tammany candidate, confidently expects the Reform Union to ratify the nomination of Mr.

Low. Hut whether Croker is or is not constrained to accept Coler. how can anybody suppose that so respectable body of citizens will flatly repudiate their solemn promise "to join with other "organizations sincerely and honestly asking "the election of such men" as their resolution explicitly described? They know that Mr. Low fully bears out that that his character is steadfast, that his reputation is superior, that his ability is proven, that his integrity is manifest, that he may be relied upon to act as he professes, and that he will neither use nor suffer any one Ise to use his office for the benefit of any political organization or set of persons whatever. Such is Mr.

Low's standing in this community. It is as clearly recognized by voters of German descent as by others, and wo do not believe that any considerable number of them can be persuaded to betray their principles at the polls, and serve the infamous purposes of Tammany Hall. BARXEY DOES MS PART. Deputy Commissioner York could safely bo 1 rusted to carry out his part of the Devery programme for getting square with O'Neill. Be says In his report that it would never do iv the world to let subordinates with impunity charge their superiors with dishonesty.

lie evidently strong an that point, and with reason. patrolman might pome time charge him with being a lawbreaker who ought to bo in jail. As Police Commissioner he deliberately violated his oath, and. according to his own confession, made contrary to the letter and spirit of the statute. It seems a little curious to see the standard of "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman" set by an officer who was such a coward that when he had to dismiss charges against a policeman with a pull for wantonly breaking a citizen's jaw he sneaked under fl blanket to do it.

and concealed his action for two weeks. But that is one of the little contradictions of a system which sets criminals up as the protectors of the city against Barney has done the work he was put to do perhaps as well as it could be done. His Is rather ridiculous. He finds O'Neill guilty, but at the same time admits that he had I right to be heard by Devery on the trial when his outbreak occurred, to produce witnesses and preseut their evidence. That was just what O'Neill was not allowed to do.

though Barney finds it convenient to ignore that fact. Devery himself failed to act as became a much an officer and a gentleman, and he was in no position to bold O'Neill tmenable to I standard he himself did not live up to. O'Neill was unquestionably persecuted, not judged, and under the circumstances he was justified. in thinking he so treated from corrupt motives and saying oven if be was mistaken. Hip failure to prove the corruption does not justify -Pevery.

He did not come into court with Barney, in passing over thai eld of the case, plays the coward after his kind, and Murphy Shows the same disposition: for he says he, merely approved Barney's find- Ing in dismissing O'Neill, though as a matter of fact Barney had sneaked out of any such find SIE37-TCKK DAILY iBIBUXE.

Dumi, ami have done their par; Now we shall see wliat the courte will do. They reinstated Pf-very. when he was charged witli corruption becanse he played tbe baby ad. pretended to be though he would not submit to offlei-il examination, and so forced the commissioners to treat biui as a contumacious absentee. Xow will those same courts consent to the dismissal of a patrolman because he made an angry answer to a judye who refused to listen, as in duty bound, to the defence lie was prepared to offer? OUT for THE CUP.

Another contest for the chief trophy of the yachting world begins to-day, and every prospect pleases. The now Shamrock is a tbiug of beauty, and her owner believes that she is destined "to be a joy forever. The old Columbia has a glorious record, which the American public; pretty conlldently expects her to preserve. The preparations, begun and continued in the spirit of rivalry, without a suggestion of distrust on cither side, have been completed to the satisfaction of all concerned. Popular Interest is keen at home and abroad, and an immense concourse of spectators will gather this morning off Sandy Hook and follow the.

racers as closely as they can. according to the kind of craft they ire aboard of. The weather auspices are favorable. It is predicted that there will be wind enough, with probably some 10 spare, and that the ocean will not be bluer than the sky. "May the heal baal win" is the honorable sentiment of the day.

and the phrase comes nearer to expressing the universal feeling than it ever did before. We should not wonder if there were many good Americans almost ready to wish that the Shamrock may demonstrate her superiority, and we are sine that if she should capture the Cup grief at its loss would not be marked by the faintest trace resentment. The winner would be heartily cheered from one end of the country to the other. If is superfluous to say. but a pleasure to repeat, that Sir Thomas Lipton is well liked by the whole American people.

From the hour of his first challenge to the hour of his second trial his conduct and demeanor have commended him the goodwill of all. and something more than that He has Inspired an interest which it is hardly an exaggeration to describe as affectionate. Careful arrangements to keep the course clear under federal authority have been made, and any violation of the regulations will be punished. It is possible for the manager of a pleasure boat to cause trouble if he Is willing to take- the risk, and there may be a chance for Ignorance or hecdlessness to reveal itself: but there was no serious fault to be found two years ago, and there will probably be little or nothing to complain of to-day. Yet all the hosts and skippers of the pleasure fleet ought to feel a strong sense of obligation not merely to obey tho rules, but to co-opprate in every way for the safety of all.

mi. CHURCB AND THE MASSES. Dean Farrar in an article just published declares that the Church of England Is rapidly losins irs hold on the working classes of England, and he estimates thai lens than 5 per cent nf working people attend the services of the While the reasons for this remarkable decline are many and complex, the dean singles out two for which be holds the Church responsible. First of all. i.c Bays thai tbe Prayer Hook is not suited to ihc needs and intellects of the working classes.

"1 have." be declares. "heard those who labor in the poor parts often declare thai the senrlcea of the "Church of England are too and The language of the Pray "Book indeed is stately and beautiful, but it is "cot the language spoken bj the people or by them; nnd if we are to draw the into our churches I think it ahso "lutely necessary the Church, through should simplify the forms of service "to bt used in the poorer parts of great cities." In the second place. Dr. Fnrrar declares thai the people cater to the vires of drink and gambling onTer greater attraction- than Church. Vet the Church appears to he unaware of its failure to attract the masses, and largely concerns itself with barren discussions about trivial ceremonies.

While there is undoubtedly much truth in this arraignment of the Anglican Church, it is only fair to say that all Christian bodies are losing their hold on many working people. In Protestant and Catholic countries alike are to be seen evidences of this falling away, which i do less portentous because silent. That the leaders of the churches are much "concerned over this state of affairs needs not to be said. But not one of them has dis covered any way by which the allegiance of tbe backsliders can be regained. Even Farrar.

whose ability, experience and zeal are unquestioned, can only say what the Church ought to do. though he knows perfectly well that there is no possibility of the Church's doing it. Many churchmen agree with him in regard to the Prayer Hook: but any serious attempt to revise It in such a way as to make it acceptable to the masses of plain people who now reject it would provoke a revolution in the Church. IRELAND AT WESTMIXBTEM. Another Irish question is coining to the fore in the Imperial Parliament at Westminster.

It concerns the representation of Ireland in that body. For years it has been notorious that Ireland enjoys a much larger representation in Parliament in proportion to her population than either England or Scotland. That is an undisputed fact, patent upon the face of statistics. The question is whether such representation can legally and justly be reduced to the British standard, and. if It can.

if it should not be done. Roth Conservatives and Liberals have long desired to make such a change, but for one reason or another have hesitated to do so. Apparently the present government has at resolved to attempt it in next year's session of Parliament. Discussion of it. by way of "'putting forth feelers," has been begun in the press and oil the platform.

It was started by no less authorities than Mr. Balfonr and Mr. Chamberlain at the recent Unionist demonstration at Blenheim. The Irish reply, as voiced by Mr. John Redmond, is one or defiance and of insistence that the act of union prevents any such change.

Mr. Redmond, by the way, will presently visit this country, and will doubtless be beard here on this as well as on other topics. Briefly put. if representation were made proportionate to population Ireland would have? thirty-one 'ewer members and Scotland three fewer than at present and Kngland thirty-four more. The representation of Wales is precisely what it should be.

On the average, Ireland has one member for every 7.114 voters, Scotland one for every 0.078 and Kngland OSM for every 10.807. It is, of course, impossible to justify such differences In I country with representative government. Similar differences have for one canse or another existed in the United States, and bitter protests have been made against them. They are, in fact, contrary to both the spirit and the letter "of law. In the United Kingdom the jaw is not quite as explicit it is here, but at the same time the whole legal and constitutional system is far more flexible and changes are more readily effected.

It does not seem credible that the act of union should be a perpetual and Jnsupnrable barrier against readjustment of representation upon a basis of equality among the three kingdoms If Parliament determines to do so, the desired reform can doubtless be effected either by decreasing Ireland's representation or by increasing England's. There Is, however, another consideration which may perhaps prove more potent than the act or union In giving English statesmen pause In the matter. That is the gross inequalities existing among constituencies in England itself. We hare said that the average English member represents 10.5D7 voters. But there arc in England and Wales no fewer than twenty-nine constituencies of less than 5,000 each, and there are sixty with more than 15,000 each.

The Komford Division of Essex has one member and 33,536 electors, and the Borough of Durham has One member and only electors. Again, the largest six constituencies in the kingdom have an aggregate of more than 150.000 electors, and the smallest forty-five have an aggregate of less than 150.000. So one set of 150.000 electors have only six. while another set of 150.01 V) have forty-live votes in Parliament. In this state of affairs there are inequalities and injustices contrasted with which those between Ireland and England seem petty.

There is no doubt that if readjustment of Irish representation be seriously undertaken there will be a vigorous demand for a readjustment all around. The latter would be a performance more revolutionary than the original Reform bill, and the government would be most reluctant to undertake it. Yet it is difficult to see how it could logically refuse to do so If it should insist upon righting the much less wrong in the case of Ireland. It is probably upon that, consideration, rather than upon the act of union, that Ireland will rely for retention of her present disproportionately great representation. Germany lost the lives of of her soldiers and sailors In China last year.

If she exacted territorial compensation for them at the rate she did for missionaries at Klao-Chau there would be little of poor old China left. With regard to the serving of warrants. Colonel Murphy, Devery's pale and attenuated shadow in the Police Department, seems to be inclined to interpret the law for himself. He should be a little more cautious, or he may find breakers ahead, and be forced, much against his will, to turn turtle Why should Colonel Murphy set himself up as an authority as to the meaning of the statutes? Is he a Coke or a BlAckstone. a Marshall or a Story? Why doesn't lie ask an opinion from the Corporation Counsel? In his address to the Episcopal Diocesan yestordaj Bishop Potter again condemned scheme to divide the Kpiscopal Church Into a number of territorial provinces, each to have an archbishop, with a primate as the supreme Episcopal authority.

He holds that such a provincial system would really disintegrate the Church rather than unite It, and that it would develop a narrow, sectional, provincial mind In the Church The Church is now a great province under the government of a general convention, and the bishop appears to believe that such an arrangement will bettor promote unity of thought and action than would the establishment of a number of provinces. each of which might easily develop hostile types of with the result that the provinces would be constantly bickering and nuarrelling. to the plea that provincial system is Ir. accordance with ancient usage, the bishop simply observes that the Episcopal Church Is American, not Greek. Latin or Anglican, and that we living to-day in the twentieth, not the tenth, century.

There is no doubt that the disapproval of the Bishop of New- Fork, would certainly be an archbishop, if not primate, under the proposed system, will are great weight when the question comes up In general convention An important addition is to be made to the list of excellent hospitals in which New-York rightly feels so much pride.

TRIBUTE PAID TO MKINLEY MEMORY. AT THE WORCESTER FESTIVAL. TKLEGKAPn TO Worcester. Sept. Verdi's composed in honor of the memory of his frienO Manzoni.

was performed at the third concert the festival of the Worcester County Musical Association this evening. Before it. the orchestra the death march from Wagner's which was not in the original festival plan memory of the late President McKlnley. This funeral music was received with the Impressive silence which is on occasions much more eloquent than the moat enthusiastic plaudits could possibly bo. and this evening spoke besides of the reverence felt for the memory of Major McKinley.

It was the second tribute which the association paid to the dead President. Last Thursday Worcester was one of the many cities throughout thcountry that gave up their regular pursuits to Join in a memorial to him who was being laid to rest his grave, and the festival choir contributed an Impressive feature to the services by singing thchorus Flesh Is Like from Brahms, 'German Requiem." The selection of Verdi's mass for the dead for thls festival had nothing to do with Preside: Me- KM death, but the association of Ideas doubtless influenced both performers and hearers and contributed something to the beauty and Impresslveness of the occasion. The work had been sung at five earlier the last time in 1534-and the choir seemed fairly familiar with it. The shortcomings in the choral portion of the performance seemed to be due to the prevailing fault of all amateur choirs, as a the quantity of deadwood, useless material, iv the company. But there was so much to be satisfied with in the performance that the disposition, to And fault, never amiable, easily gavo way to the pleasant duty of thanksgiving and gratulation- The solos in tho mass were sung by Mrs.

Shannah Cummlng. Mrs. Clara Me- King. Ellison Van Hoose and Dr. Carl E.

Dufft. It was a more than fairly capable quartet, and performances night crsily be recalled in which a much higher degree of individual talent enllsteu and ISM satisfactory results attained. The singers were painstaking, and none sought to nominate the others. Much of the soprano's singing was little else than a sort of piping, no words being distinguishable ami the. tones of a singularly infantile quality, but purity of intonation war there, and with a familiar text better justness of pitch, with .1 modicum diction.

The other numbers were all orchestral, and consisted of the prelude to "Die Meisterslnser." Brahras's symphony la major and Massenet's overture "Phedre." Of the performance of this number little good can be spoken. The symphony in especial suffered irom sluggish tempi and paucity of elasticity and expression. There was more animation and vitality in the overture by Massenet, but the band's line artistic quality was disclosed only in the accompaniment to Berlioz's "Revery." which was conducted by Franz Knelsel, who seems to stand in a. more sympathetic relationship with the si whom he Is one, than Mr.
