Mr. Moran conducted his own campaign and was elected by a plurality of 4,350 votes. He started out by securing the necessary 6,000 signatures to put his name on the regular ballot as an independent. Not a single speech was made in his behalf except by himself. The local press gave little space to his campaign, but he kept banging away, and during the last two weeks of his work he used a great deal of display advertising in the dailies. Among other things, Mr. Moran 'said on the stump: "Under no circumstances will I become a candidate for reelection. My election will mean a Grand Jury room door at all times wide open to all evidence of crime; it will mean an investigation of railroad bribery of legislators and jurors, of gas corporation bribery of legislators, of aldermanic bribery scandals, of payroll frauds at City Hall, of perjury by millionaires in our courts. "When I am elected, the District-Attorney's office will be independent of machine or corporate control. It will be hostile to political grafters of both parties, to corporation magnates who make boodlers out of the people's representatives. "It will always be accessible to good citizens who seek a prosecution of professional criminals, of grave offenders against fundamental laws for the integrity of free institutions. It will be merciful and considerate to unfortunate victims of environment. "In a nutshell, my office will fight graft from one end of the county to the other." Mr. Moran was born in Wakefield, Mass., April 27, 1859, the son of John and Ellen Moran, who came from Ireland in 1852. In the district school Mr. Moran received his early lessons, and he studied later at the Wakefield High School, and at Boston University Law School.

If your The New York Tribune, in OFFER commenting on Nebogatoff's statement, says: "From the military point of view it might be dangerous to establish, the principle that a commander may at discretion cease fighting and surrender in order to avoid bloodshed. He is sent forth not to surrender, but to fight, and fighting essentially involves sacrifice of lives. Moreover, it is sometimes necessary, or at least profitable, to make what may seem to some a wanton sacrifice of life. 'It is magnificent, but it is not war,' was the seemingly apt comment upon the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava, yet in fact that monstrous blunder and its attendant sacrifice were by no means fruitless. Admiral Cervera's splendid sally from Santiago was both costly and fruitless, and yet we can scarcely see how he could have escaped severe censure had he declined to make it. "Admiral Nebogatoff, however, was, perhaps more than any other commander whom we can recall, justifiable in exercising a somewhat insubordinate discretion and surrendering instead of fighting. That is because he knew that there was absolutely nothing to be gained by further resistance. The battle was already hopelessly lost; in fact, he knew, as his comrades must all have known, that it was lost before it was begun. He knew that he could not hope to fight his way out and escape to a friendly port, where his ships would be saved for Russia. He knew there was no hope, not one chance in a thousand, of his being able to destroy any Japanese ships while suffering the destruction of his own; and he knew, too, that if he did destroy some Japanese ships that achievement would be an entirely barren one and would not in the least affect the further progress of the war. Apart from the savage instinct of doing as much harm as possible before the end, every motive was in favor of the course which he pursued. True, he had let several ships fall into Japan's hands. But then he saved for Russia several thousand lives. It would be unsafe and demoralizing to adopt his action as a precedent for all men to follow at pleasure. Perhaps as matter of military form some censure of him is necessary. But it is, as we have said, impossible to withhold sympathy from him, and we are inclined to think the sober judgment of the world will be that he is by no means the most censurable of those responsible for that battle and its results." Newberry's Opportunity.-The appointment of Mr. Newberry, of Detroit, as Assistant-Secretary of the Navy, recalls to The Saturday Evening Post (Philadelphia) the interesting story of his services as a seaman on board the scoutship Yosemite, during the Spanish-American war. The Post relates: "He was one of a very large company of wealthy and adventurous Detroit men of high social position who amused themselves by organizing a naval reserve and afterward offering themselves in a body to the Navy Department as plain, ordinary 'Jackies.' We had bought several fast steamships about that time, the Yosemite among others, intending to use them as scouts and despatch boats, and the problem of getting crews was serious. The Detroit men, most of whom owned private yachts, and could have bought the Yosemite every morning in the week for the mere caprice of giving it away afterward, insisted upon going to war and doing the rough duty of the enlisted man. They formally abdicated all claims to social recognition. What they wanted was the hardest kind of service under the strictest and most exacting discipline. As things turned out, they got it. The Yosemite was commanded by Captain William H. Emory, of the regular line, an accomplished officer, expert in the handling of the usual' Jacky,' and a good deal of a martinet. He made no secret of his disapproval of the arrangement.

Nobody knows, to this day, exactly how the quarrel began, or what particular form it took; but everybody in the service knows that there was a bitter feud with Captain' Bill' Emory at one end and the Detroit 'naval reserves' at the other. Moreover, the latter pushed it strenuously; made injurious charges against Emory-which the Navy Department, after careful and exhaustive investigation, dismissed with emphasis-and have ever since ventilated and exploited their grievance whenever occasion and opportunity offered. "Now Mr. Newberry, the head and front of the Detroit quarrel, goes to Washington as Assistant-Secretary of the Navy, and becomes the official superior of the very man who, seven years ago, possessed and exerted the authority to make him do the humblest service. There is a natural curiosity as to the result of this grotesque evolution. Of course, the purely military power resides in the Bureau of Navigation, and the special duties and powers of the AssistantSecretary are not what one might call immediate and direct. Newberry, to be sure, could perhaps make things unpleasant for Emory and, no doubt, if he were not also a gentleman, he would try to do it. There is little likelihood of this, however. The interest all centers in the fantastic transposition. Nothing like it could occur in any other country or under any other political aud social system."

A free exhibit of the Horses of Diomedes, a magnificent bronze group by Gutzon-Borglum, is attracting much attention at The Gorham Mfg. Company's new store at 36th Street and Fifth Avenue. Mr. Borglum is the high-spirited sculptor who summarily settled the angels' sex dispute not long ago by utterly demolishing the superb statuary that he had conceived. Mr. Borglum's portrayal of the Eighth Labor of Hercules is extraordinarily striking and impressive, the mythological story is that the Thracian king Diomedes, although not a cannibal himself, had taught his horses to eat human flesh until they became insatiable for it, and exceedingly dangerous if they did not receive their full portion. The Gorham group shows Hercules clinging nude to the back of the leading mare, with the herd in wild stampede close behind. The frenzy of the goaded steeds, one of which is slipping over the edge of an abyss, is depicted with a realism of which this sculptor is master. Mr. Borglum devoted several weeks to the admirable and imperishable coloring after the bronze had been cast by the Gorham Company. The marvelous group would be a striking addition to a private art gallery, handsome garden, lawn porch or entrance hall. The public-spirited citizen who would donate it to a museum would be doing the community at large a very handsome turn.

Adjt. Gen. Thomas J. Stewart of Pennsylvania, who has a reputation as an orator and story-teller, lately told of an incident which illustrates the resourcefulness of the average Celt when confronted with an embarrassing situation. The New York Times relates: "A young Irishman who had served an apprenticeship on the rapid transit lines in New York went to Philadelphia and secured a situation as conductor on the Lancaster Avenue line in that city. He had not been working long before the management came to the conclusion that a portion of his daily collections was conductor. In the vernacular of the business he was finding its way surreptitiously into the pockets of the 'knocking down fares.' Accordingly a 'spotter' was put on his car. The detective took the car at Second Street and two blocks farther up a couple more passengers boarded the car. The suspect collected their fares and rang the indicator bell twice. A block farther on three more passengers got on and three more fares were rung up. At Tenth Street nine men on their way to work clambered aboard. The conductor collected nine fares and rang the registry bell eight times. This was the detective's opportunity. Walking to the front end of the car he scanned the register dial closely, and then returned to the rear platform, counting the passengers as he did so. "How's this?' he inquired, with a jerk of his thumb toward the interior of the car. "How's phwat?' inquired the Irishman.
