tory against machine politics to ren
der It forever memorable. Up to with
in three weeks of the election, there
was apparently good ground for the
confidence of the Tammany leaders
that the power of the historic organ
isation could not be overthrown. It
was dissensions within the organiza
tion that paved the way for Tammany
defnat. Like other political machines
built up by the spoils system, the Tam
many organization is strong only when
successful. The effect of the Lexow
Investigation was to weaken the pres
tige of the organization with many of
Its most respectable members. Mayor
Gllroy became in a measure the head
of this faction of purists, who desired
to rid Tammany of the elements that
had brought it to disgrace. This led
to an Intense civic conflict In the face
Of the enemy, and with the knowledge
that the organization was divided
against itself there set in a consider
able stampede among the rank and
file. Many lesser candidates proceed
ed to make deals with the object oi
saving themselves, and so the greal
political machine that achieved sc.
notable a victory last fall went tc
pieces this year like a panic-stricken
army.
Mayor-elect Strong has an opportun
ity presented to him for useful public
service that no citizen has ever before
had in New York. So many and such
Important questions of public Improve
ment and reform are awaiting solu
tion that a man of real genius foi
municipal government could scarcely
tall to achieve fame. The control ol
great cities Is becoming a science bj
eminent of London io even now being
ihaken by it. Whnt is claimed to be
the best system of municipal govern
ment in the world (the London coun
:11b) has not been equal to settling the
question of decent streets and decent
imusementR.
Some of the shrewdest Tammany
officials expect to see the new admin
istration make a failure of its attempt
to purify the city. We shall .see. Re
corder Goff will certainly be able to
attend to the criminal part of the pro
gramme. While Rev. Dr. Parkhurst
instituted the war upon vice, It Is gen-

attack hns been due to the genius and j
Indefatigable labor or jonn w. uon.
It is probable thnt the new city gov
ernment may wisely conclude that
some evils are capable only of regula
tion, and proceed to those larger ques-
Hnna that hnlM lin rlvlr- vlrtllA hV DrO-

provement. It is ve"ry certain that
more good can be done by reforming
the tenement system of this city than
by pursuing the miserable victims ol
poverty with the severity of the law. j
The bucopfs of the reform movement !
now depends upon scientific rather
than upon Puritanical metnons.

NEW YORK POLITICS.
3fllclnt rhniipre That May Remit From
the Political Revolution. .
Special Albnnjr Letter.
Everybody here is discussing the
coming political changes. The Repub
lican victory has been so complete that
j It Is now In the power of the KepuDU
i cans to secure nearly every office un
! der the State government. The burn
ing question is whether the new admin
istration will observe the spirit or tne
civil service law or make a clean
sweep. The Republican "boys" are
certainly in favor of turning out every
Democrat who can be reached.
The executive clerks and appointees
of the Governor number about twelve,
and charges are expected In this office.
Gov.-elect Morton has been so promi
nent as a financier and statesman that

Itself, and is likely in the near future
to bo treated entirely as a separate
branch of politics. It is a great res
ponsibility that faces the new Mayor,
ma the chances for blunders are quite
ma large as the opportunities for use
fulness. The causes of public dissatis
faction with Tammany did not relate
entirely to questions of mlsgovern
wnL It is generally conceded that
the recent city government has been
able and successful In many directions.
New York, however, has In recent
Tears become the home of thousands
mt the most oppressed and Indigent
human beings in the whole world.
The problem of assimulating this vast
mass of lndigeetable European wretch
edness has not been successfully met
by Tammany. It has been a festering
ore In the body politic, productive of
popular vice, and gradually involving
the police department in the degrading
Influences that have emlnated from
It I think It can be fairly claimed
that the wretchedness and .crime that
have made certain portions of our city
cesspools of vice and debauchery is
not of local origin. It has been trans
ferred here almost bodily from Eu
rope. The very system of police
tyranny and corruption is of foreign
origin. The overthrow of Tammany
Is, therefore, a direct blow at methods
that have tended constantly to make
the government of thla city foreign
rather than American.
The Influences with which Tammany
failed to successfully cope remain to
be dealt with. It is a deep and treach
erous problem. It demands a system
of moral and legal treatment that Is
IUv. Dr. rarkhnrst
rather experimental in any case.
While the Police Department has kept
down anarchistic sentiment, It has been
by winking at or catering to the vices
that are natural to degraded natures.
Yet European governments have near
ly always pandered to vice as a means
of diverting the pocr and wretched
from uprisings. Tammany has really
dealt with a European problem by
European methodii.
The problem is not new. The gov-

17,000 persons, male and female. The
results are included In "A Report on

lished in the latest edition of the pro
ceedings of the society. The question,
of course, was framed in much more
elegant and detailed form than the
somewhat abrupt Inquiry Into which
most people will translate it, but whe
ther we call "the spook" a "living be-
Ing," or "inanimate object," It comes
to pretty much the same thing, so
long as there is no external physical ;
cause to account for the phenomenon. 1
