Bzxmuih is wrong, as usual. Tho open
competition of merit is demoflBxIc. Tlie

Col. Fxllows, in accepting his nomination
for District-Attorney, says: "I shall give
my best service, my earnest devotion and my
untiring effort to advance the interests of my
party."
Mr. Nioou. says he will be " absolutely
free, fearless and independent to discharge
my duties without regard to bosses, parties,
factions, organizations, halls or combinations
of any kind,"
What room is thero for politics in tho
prosecution of thieves? Shall the District

Tho order of the Fire Commissioners
directing that a new exit be made in the
Bijou Theatre and that a fire-escape with iron
balconies be placed on tho outer wall of
Checkering Hall, with doors' opening upon It,
is a precaution that will be appreciated by
the public.
It is unspeakably hotter to guard against a
loss of life than to scold or to punish or to
moralize after tho holocaust. Are there no
other places of publio resort that need the

Several topics, not announced in tho pro

by the organizations of women in session in
this city.
Thero is the much-abused mother-in-law.
Why will not some one champion her cause ?
The most amiable of women become mothers-in-law,
and certainly do not change their
nature because of that rolatlon. If young
couples would adopt the sensible plan of
forming independent homes, however hum.
ble, thero would probably bo very little
trouble on that score. But, under any cir
cumstances, there is no basis for one-tenth of
tho cheap wit about the mothers of our wives.
Turn a little light on tho conduct of the sons.

Then there are the old maids, tho best
abused members of the community. They
fill a unique place of usefulness. And lots of

give three hurrahs for the old maids.
Tnx Would of this morning contained in
its first edition a full account of the defalca
tion and flight of Cashier Jackson, of the
Sab-Treasury in this city. The Am in its
first edition had no hint of this most notable
local news of the day. In a special edition
issued later in the morning the Sun has a
"faked" summary of Tnx Wobld's news,
very badly done. Keep on with your glean

The London society journals relate with
great gravity and expressions of sincere re

while recently staying with his grandmother
at Balmoral had the misfortune to sit down
on a wasps' nest. The kilt formed an insuf
ficient protection against the stings of the
infuriated insects, and the future King of
Great Britain was in consequence confined
to his bed for the space of three days.
Wasps are no respecters of persons.
The Citizens' mass meeting in favor of

no lack of emphasis in this demand of the
people for good government and tho punish

Col, Follows has been known for years
among criminal lawyors as tbo most pllablo
official in tho District-Attorney's .office, and
ono who can bo npproachod .with oonfldenco
when justice presses closely on the influen
tial criminal.
Many cases aro pigeon-holed in the offico
whoro Col. Fellows has been induced to dofer
prosecution and has allowed tbo criminal to
o free on giving a bond, but Central Office
etectives know a case whero a well-known
felon was allowed by Col. Fellows to give a
flimsy bond for an Insignificant amount after
conviction and sentence. The story has been
investigated and verified in overy particular
by a reporter of Tnx Etxnino Wobld and is
as follows; "
Some five years ago thero flourished in this
city a set of well-known check forgers and
raisers who wont by tho name of " The By.
land Gang." The gang consisted of Edward
0. Rvlanu, known among the fraternity as
"Clever Nod;" his wife Elsie, his
brother James and his brother-in-law
William Woodman. Their lino of business
was to obtain checks for small amounts from
respectable tradesmen and either raise the
amount or force a number of checks in tho
same namo. Woodman was an expert en
graver and could produce a fao simile of the
checks used by any bank in tho city.
Tho woman Elsie Ilyland was the most vol
uablo member of the gang. Sho was young
and pretty, very well educated and of engag.
ing and even fascinating address. Sho could
play to perfection the part of a young widow
and on a number of pretexts whoodlo trades
men into giving her small checks on their
banks in oxchango for cash.
She soon became known to Inspector
Byrnes and his men, but twice escaped con
viction because it could not not be proved
that she was a party to tho raising of the
checks.
In January, 1832, she entered the grocery
store of Demurest & Duncan, No. 1B25 Third
avenue, and said sho wanted to send 96 to her
mother in'Fbiladelphla. Tho Post-Offlce was
closed and she could not get 'an order,
so she wantod DemareRt fc Duncan to
oblige her with a check, payablo to the order
of Georglana Mace. Havingobtained it, sho
tripped away smilingly. This check sho
gavo to her husbanu . who erased tho
name and tho amount with' acid and
made it call for tho paymont of
$165.60 to Georgiana Martin. The woman
took this to tho North Iliyor Bank, received
the money, kopt $74 and divided tho remain
dor between hor confederates.
Sho escaped arrest for soveral weeks, but
was finally arrested, together with tho other
members of tho gang, by Dotectlrcs Blevln
and Phil Itcilly, of tho Central Office.
The gang had plenty of monoy for counsel
fees, and retained Peter Mitchell, James F.
Pendleton and Frank Oliver for the defense.
In spite of their efforts all tho prisoners were
convicted on May 18 of tho same year. EIbIo
was sentenced by Recorder Smyth, Juno 10,
to two years and six months in the pcnlten.
tlary. The othors were sentenced to longer
terms in Sing Sing.
Elsie Byland appealod to the General Term
on tho ground that she was under ooeroion
by her husband, but tho General Term
promptly sustained tho verdict and sentence
of tho Court of General Sessions.
On Aug. 11, 1882, after the conviction, the
sentence, and tho doclslon of tho General
Term, John B. Fellows. Assistant District
Attorney, walked quietly with Elsie's counsel.
Lawyer Peter Mitchell, into tho Supreme
Court Chambers bofore Judge Charles
Donohuo. Lawyer Mitchell produced a
petition citing that Elsie Byland, convicted
of forgery and scntenoed to two vesrsand
six months' imprisonment in tho Court of
General Sessions, had appealed to tho Court
of Appeals and asked to do released on ball
Bending the decision of tho highest court in

Col. John B. Fellows, Assistant District
Attorney, stood at his friend Mitchell's sido
and gavo his assent to this extraordinary proceeding.

Male oKrus York,fixtd the amount of a euita
ble ana sufficient bond tn the caie of thU con.
victrd member of a gang of forger t at 8100. .,
The bond was furnished by John Early, of
221 Elizabeth Btroot, and the signaturo ,1. It.
Fellows, Assistant District-Attorney,
appears on the back of that bond as consent,
ing thereto.
As soon as Elsie was set free bv this pro.
ceodlncr she skipped out of tho State.
and when, in March, 1883, tho Court
of Appeals finally confirmed her convic
tion sno could pot bo found. The bond
of ffllOO was duly forfeited, tint tne detectives
looked for the woman in vain.
For many long montlis sho escaped justico,
but on June 10, 1884, she was caught trying
to pass a forged check and is now in tho
penitentiary.
Col. Fellows gave her the best chance he
could to get clean off to Canada, and It was
not any fault of his that sho was recaptured.

Tho New York Wobld has commenced the pub
lication of an evening edition. As an evidence of
its worth, 111,410 copies were sold tho first evening.
VontA !Tav"'(A'o,) Gas.rt.
The New York Wobld now issues a one-cent
evening edition. The sales the first day ran np to
over 111,000, whloh leads us to believe that It Is a
remarkably healthy Infant.
(Von IA Bruit (Dak.) 7di.
The New York Wobld has Just commenced an
evenlng-ecjltlon-prlce-one-cent affair, and the first
day 111,410 copies were sold. It Is just the newsiest,
nlccBt, neatest and brightest paper we have seen.
IVon ll Cintinnali TimtiSlar,)
The New York World promised that Its even
ing tnfant would be an original, not a copy. This
promise has been msdo good. Tnx Eveninq
Wobld has features of Its own and they aro
handsome,
Von iU tottport (IT. T.) Journal.
We are gratified to find tho Journal upon tho
exchange list of the New York Evening as well as
tho Morning World. It Is difficult to get along
and keep a good newspaper house without both
these breezy papers.
Von IA rtuona ( W, T.) LtJlir,
The evening edition of the New York Wobld is
like Its sire, strong, healthy and vigorous looking,
and seemingly able to keep at the head of tho pro
cession of atternoon newspapers, as Its father has
led all the morning newspapers of the world In
Journalistic abllltr.
Von (A WcuMnglo (Fa.) ttttlrw.)
Not content with the morning edition that far
eclipsed In circulation all Its contemporaries,
Mr, Joseph Pulitzer threw out an evening edi
tion of Tnx World that sold over 111,000 copies
the first day and has gone on Increasing over since.
Tux World's success Is unparalleled. It la not an
accidental success. It comes from the fact that
Tnx Wobld Is unparalleled as a newspaper.
Von I. MawxilU (Jty.) ItfuiUcan.
The New York Wobld must be set down as the
greatest American newspaper, no matter what
standard this individual or that sets up to measure
newspapers by. More than twenty years of dul
ness had settled over Tnx World, and had well
'nigh hidden It from sight when Mr. Pulitzer went
from St. Louis and resurrected It. New blood gave
the paper growth until It now has the largest circu
lation In New York and the most advertisements.
It has tho most mechanical facilities snd the most
extra sheets. The reason for mentioning Tnx
World's greatness just now is the appearance of
a new edition Tnx Evening World, which
doubtless will be as striking a success as the morn

5IL V $E heard more or less
ijfi&sassiw about him for five
years, but the thousands of Democratic
voters who will read his name on their tickets
election day know nothing whatever of his
record. Public curiosity has been intensified
by despatches published in Tnx Wobld from
rural regions whero Mr. Ransom onco lived,
expressing surprise at hearing of a one.
timo " rabid Republican " posing as a Demo
cratic nomineo.
Rastns S. Ransom was an obsenro man in
this city until some f rionds on the street got
him tbo Receivership of the Open Board of
Stock Brokers In 1882. The affairs of this
unfortunate concern wore so badly compli
cated that the law firm of Ransom & Knevals
was called in to straighten matters out.
There was some difficulty between the Build
ing Association of tho Board and tho Board
itself. When Ransom took hold of affairs
about 820.000 was turned over to him from
tho Building Association, and for threo years
ho handled an annual rental of $12,000 from
tho building. The settlement of affairs
dragged along until 1885, when it woe consid
ered advisablo to change the receiver. Ran
som withdrew and J. K. O. Sherwood was
substituted for him.
MOT MUCH FOB THE DROXERS.
Of the thousands of dollars that had passed
through Ransom's hands as receivor, he
turned over to his successor something liko
$126. All the rest had been swallowed up In
counsel fees and " current expenses." The
brokers raised a howl about it and openly
accused Ransom of duplicity and collusion
with an auctioneer to sell the building of the
Board, No. 42 Broad street, on his
own responsibility and make conditions
which would be of advantairo only to
himself. Particular objections wero raised
to tho enormous sums of money Ransom had
paid out in counsel fees to Sidnoy S. Harris,
a warm friend of his. A batch of law
suits sprang out of the new complications,
and one of tho referees selected in adjudicat
ing them was Honry S. Howland, now candi
date for Supreme Court Judge on tho Repub
lican ticket.
COUNTX DKMOCBATS BXJXCTXD HIM.
Newspaper notoriety obtained through theso
operations brought Ransom's namo promi
nently before the public. About that time
somo powerful though not apparent influences
were pressing him upon tho County Demo
crats as nominee for tho Superior Court
bonch to succeed Judge Sedgwick. The in
dignant members of the Open Board of
Brokers mado a strong protest and the
County Democrats, after looking into Ran
som'B record, refused to take him up, Then
hiB friends mado an assault on Tammany and
carried their point. Rastus S. Ransom was
put up as Tammany nominee for Judgo of
tho Superior Court.
Every effort was mado to get the Republi
cans to indorse Ransom's nomination. It was
particularly urged that Ransom had worked
tooth and nail for rthe Republican National
ticket in 1B80, and that in 1884 ho kept dis
creetly quiet. Singularly enough. " Johnny "
O'Brien and other powerful allies of Jay
Gould wero most conspicuous in urging this
indorsement on the Republican oreanization.
But It was refused. The Republicans stood
by Judge Sedgwick.
Then Gould and his f rionds begun tactics
which at once exposed their hands. They
openly canvassed for Ransom on Wall street
and In the business exchanges. The angry
members of the Open Board of Brokers
opposed them at every step. Cyrus W.
Field joined hands with Gould In pushing
Ransom. Brokers were personally solicited
to vote for him and brokers' olerks
were given to understand that it was fortholr
Interest to glte the Tammany candidate
their cordial support, even if they voted for
every other roan on the Republican tioket.
Both Gould and Field personally peddled
Ransom tickets. Elevated road employees
were forcibly informed that Ransom was n
man for them to oonsider. Tho result of all
this effort cut down Judge Sedgwick's vote
enormously, but he triumphed, and Rastus
8. Ransom retired for a whilo from publio
view. , '
Will GOULD WANTED A JUDGE.
Rastus S. Ransom was a useful man to Jay
Gould. As a Judgo of the Superior Court
hisusofulness would have been boundless.
At tho timo ho was a candidate thero vt ere
107 cases on tho Superior Court calendar in
which Gould and Field had an in
terest. They consisted mainly of
actions for damages against the ele.
vated railroads, and the claims aggregated
millions of dollars. They had boon post
poned again and again until further delay
v as nlmoRt impossible. Trial was inevitable,
and Gould wanted a judge of his choice on
the bench. He selected Rastus S. Ransom,
who had rendered him signal servico as coun
sel for the receivers of tho Manhattan Ele
vated Railroad In the notorious proceedings
bofore Judgo WeBtbrook.
This, briefly, is Rastus S. Ransom's career
In Now York city. Are the men who wero
behind him in 1885 behind him now?

Tammany Aaka Democrats to Yote for a Stan

"I would rather tote for Democrats on a
Republican ticket," said a young Democrat
to-day, "than to vote for Republicans on a
Democratic ticket. For Instance, there Is
Georgo H. Forster and Rastus S. Ransom,
who were stalwart Republicans up to a few
years ago. Now they call themselves Demo
crats and are on the ' combine ' ticket."
George H. Forster wasior years one of the
leaders of the Republican party In Westches
ter County. He was known throughout the
county as a bitter and partisan Republican.
He represented tho Westchester-Rockland
District in the Senate of 1880-1881 and
always voted with his party on party
measures. He opposed all just
and equitable excise laws, and on political
questions never failed to take part in the de
bates against tho Democratio party. Ho was
a bitter partisan,. He was converted a few
years ago and was admitted into Tammany
Hall. He was nominated in 1884 for District
Attorney and was defeated by Mr. Martlne.
