cxenitlve ..ffli-or; an<l suppose that be shonld
sacrlflca his dients for his party how long
would he hold his retalnerl
The crylai evil ot Mr. Platfa polltlcal nti
tocracy was ihat as the party Hoss, the dlctator
of Hs nomlnations and mosi poteattel Inthionoe
in its legislaUon, ho extorted money from the
great corporatlona as oontrlhutions to eampaign
fnmls, the (-..nsldoratlon for whlch was rotes in

this in ihe exerciae of 'he professhMi of attorney,
nor was the money lu- recelTed in ihe natnra
of fec or retalner. Ha was ostenalbly settng
f..r tbe party; and tbrougb him. so long as he
was the antocrat, the corporatioaa retalaed the
Republlcan party; if. ladeed, it may he called
retalaer und not brtbe. Wben Mr. Platt re?
celved the subaeiiptloa of a corporation to his
eampalpn funda both he nnd tlie corporation
nnderstand clearly that ihe Beaaton and Aa
semblymen to wimse campalgn espenses those
contrtbatloai went ly Mr. Phttt's peTBonal
cbeck wi-re to liuld ihemselves under obllga

tlie latter bad any interest at stuke. lt was n
slmple procesa, and hy meana of it Mr. Platt
made hims.-lf very Btrong, both wlth tbe cor?
pontlOfUl and 'he polith-ians whose etoctlon <-x
pciises they defrayed, lt doea not need t.> ba
said to New-York (Jouaty Republlcaaa that this
circultoua procesa for brtblng a Legislature was
corrupt an.l demornlislng. They said so them
s.-l\ ea, two years ago, when they rose up aualnst
ihe lioss rule nnd HosS systein of whlch ihla
was one of the most depradlng and disRiistinK
features.
If corporatlona are t?? control leglslatloa, the
Croker method i? much slmpler and raatly lo<s
demoraludng. The Tammany Legialatura uf
ls'.t.'l wns remarkahle, among othet ihluijR, for
! this: that lt had practleally no lobby. Tlie
i procesa <>f Inflnendag leglslatlon was aa simjde
aa petty larcony. The corporation did aot take
i iln- trouble io sond lobbylats or attorneys to
?iy. aor did they f'"i away time ..r money
? iryltiK to conrlnea or corrupl Icglalatora. They
i .Imidy stepp.-d up io Rast Fonrteentli-st., nnd
i after maklng 'ho proper ?contrthntlon io tha
! I'iniiiiaiiv treaaury told Mr. Croker what they
wanted. Al tii. end of thesession ihe Tammany
newspapi ra |i ilntad wlth prkta to ihe fact ihat
ihe l.ejji&lature had never heen so free from
si-andals. nor Alhanv so free from lobbylsts.
It waa true. The market-plaoe for leglslatlon
was in East Fourteenth-st., lu thla city. The
members of the Legislature wore not exposed
to corrupl spproaches from the lobby, nor to ihe
dlsgraca uf salttag themselves. They arara sold
ln n hunoh and ut wholesale before they were
elocted. Mr. Tr.ik.-r peddled them out ut ______
etibsequenily. Aiid the process had the merlt
of simplleity ond directness. If the great eor
poratlons musl btiy the legislatlon they thlnk
they need, we Bay, unhesitatingly, ihat the i'ro
ker __a__0d is vns'lv superior to nny other plan.

Oa the contrary, yesterday's testimony tended
to show that those who know most about the

persistent effnrls to disorodit it have nol eeas,(|
Probably they have been encouraged by n enl

Hls ??.ittenti.m barlng been caBcd" to our re?
port of an Interview with tlie Chlef Consul of
Ihe League of Amerlcan Wheelnv n. which his
taken a proper inter.-st iri* th.- pro.dlnga wlth
reference to a recent fstal blcycle accident,
Coroner Hoeber rlelted this ufflce yeaterday to
defeud his conduct of tbe inquest. Ib- explalned j
ihat everyhndy present was arrayed <>n "ii'- alde
or the other, and tberefore there was nothlng
surprisiag In the drcumstance tbal tbe Inter?
preter whom be bappened t-> draft lato his _er
vice was the president of the brewing company
whlch employed the drlver accueed of bomlckle.
Th.- Coroner'a eluddation >.f this and one or two
other mlnor detalla of the inqueal waa nol elear
to the rxtreme llmit of transparency, bul Ibere
is one point on whlcb be nelther feeis nor leares
a doubt, as his statemenl printed elsewhere
proves. The brewery wagon drlver confessed lo
having abaorbed one glasa ol whlakey and four
ghuaWa of beer prlor to the coHlsion; bul there
was s long int.rval between nis flrst drink snd
his last, and unless Ihere were s..me whlcb be
didn't count be couldn'l bave been drunk when
ihe accident occurred. Thla is the Coroner's
Iheory, and we Ihlak it is round. But, round or
uasouad, it is nol raaentlal to Ihe Coroner's maln
proposltlon, for be says tbat be took palns to
Instruct ibe jury that "if Ihe drirer wns partty
??under tbe laflneaca of Itojuor, be wnsu'l s<?
"mu'h to hlame as if he bad been '???r."
This ls an extremely Important, interoBting
and comfortable legal dictum, as ererybody wlll

It is Jual wliat was to be txpected, and la a

will be I'omeml.oroil. tbere was an aanounce

appareetly conld nol or wonld not afford protec?

Ihey Bhould be pald.
Now it nppearB tbal our Ooverament has
failed to glve the Forty Mlle Creek reglon a

to Bupply I'1'' defli lency. We rio not know why
our Govcrnment has faUed. Tho Becond Aa

There can be no queatlon of territorial aover
