are uot saying there was any un-
dcrotamlln*, or at least any written stip
ulation, that If he woud tell what he
knew about the department that was
criminal ho should not be called to the
stand, or If called, should be allowed to
use the stand as a histrionic opportunity
for Incriminating his official associates
and celebrating his own Innocence, but
whether there was any such stipulation
or not, tho acceptance of his assistance
practically Involved a deal; and a com
mittee that came down from Albany with
the express purpose of Investigating deals
ought to have been punctiliously careful
to avoid even the appearance of haring
a suocepttblc* side for the very sort of
offense that they were designed to detect
and adjudicate.
“We of tho executive committee feel
that our flght during the past three
years has been a contest with Mr.
Byrnes. Ho has known perfectly well
that our only Intention has been fo se
cure the enforcement of the law in New
Vork, and yet he has dogged our steps
from first to Inst and has omitted no ef
fort to discredit us In the estimation of
tho community. If the executive element
of ihf police department had been able
lo a'.-ompllsh Its purpose it would have
crushed iho society. There would have
been no J>*xow committee and Gritnt
would have been mayor today instead of
Strong."
Dr. Parkhurst then reviews the various
blows Byrnes has struck at the sode,ty,
such ns requesting the police justices not
to Issue warrants to the society’s agents,
claiming that they were Irresponsible per
sons; the arrest of Chief Detective Hard-
ner of tho society; the wrenching from
Agent Marrott of such information as
could be extorted, and finally by perpe*
(rating against Dr. Parkhurst’s church
"a vile, sneaking Insinuation" that he
knew of a well trodden path that camo
from his vestibule to a disreputable re
sort.
Dr. Parkhurst also quotes from state,
merits and Interviews given out by Mr.
Byrnes to show the attitude he took to
ward the .Society for the Prevention of
Prime. Continuing, !)r. Parkhurst says:
"Now that hi Hymen. Ho In tho man
that wo have had steadily In our eye for
three years, and he has had us Just as
steadily In his eye. The community
knoWM our work has meant nothing but
the overthrow of misrule In this city.
Byrnes has known that ns well as the
public, and yet ho has fought us. Now,
why has not the senatorial committee,
through Its counsel, made themselves fa
miliar with these matters? We have
urged that .Mr. Byrnes should be asked
whether, prior to the m*natorlal investi
gation. he was knowing of tho rotlon-
of Ihe police force. He either was
was not. If he was and still k«-pl
bis mouth shut, he was unspeakably vile,
and If he wau not, ho was unspeakably
Imbecile.
‘Now, why did not tho committee In
sist that Mr. tJoff, In his characteristic
manner, should broil Mr. Byrnes on the
bifurcated (Jllfftnnm? I am nothing but
a minister, but If I had been a lawyer
of Mr. Hoffs ability, I would have put
Byrnes on that toasting Iron, and f would
have guaranteed lo broil out of him all
of his o IT Ida I reputability inside of one
day's s<-sslon, provided, of course, tho
committee would have allowed ^ne» to
do so.
"Jy-t me say In conclusion that I have
no interest In thin matter save n proud
and passionate desire to see work that
is thorough. If Mr. Byrnes, with char-
aeterlstio disposition to get his own neck
out of the yoke, says that he has been
so handlraptM'd as to bo practically pow
erless, I want to say that all such ex
cuse Is evasive and cowardly. If he had
wanted to turn tho police department’ up
side down and exhibit it In the character
that he certainly know belonged to It,
he should have done It, and done It enslly
and the public would have stood by him
and no lx*dy of men more solidly or hear
tily tltHii the Society for the Prevention
of Crime. If I inay be i>ermltted to re
fer to mysef, I have t»een able to do
something In that line In the ipnst three
years, notwithstanding I was outside the
department, and 1 do declare that If
IlyrncH had wanted to do anything he
could have done It and could have ac
complished nuqv In tho *lui|»c of earth
quaking results In three months than I
have been able to do In twelve times
three months. Men with ns much influ
ence as Mr. Byrnes who have been in
tho midst of Iniquity clear up to thotr
cars for thirty years can fight iniquity
If they want to. and If they are clean
they will wunt to. •
"I am aware that many who are our
friends will take exception to this state
ment. Koine will say tlmt It Is Inexpe
dient. It Is not a queatlon that weighs
with ns. We are liere for a principle and
wo are here to stay. Compromises, evas
ions, shifts and deal* wo believe arc In
imical to everything In the shape of true
progress and |»ermnnent effects. We are
not prowling for prominence nor burning
fur popularity, but the .Society for Ihe
Prevention of Orlm* wna here before tho
senate committee came, and will be hero
utter Iho senate committee has gone, nnd
the line tlmt wc have followed in the
past will bo tho line we shall JuHt ns
steadfastly and unswervingly follow In
the future. Oniric* H. Parkhurst."

Importance which It deserves until 'this Is

WANTS FIGHTING TRAINING.
A Writer Who Thinks German Soldiers
Should Be Always Ready.
Berlin. Dec. 31.—The Military Weekly,
the recognized organ of the army, has
cxlusd some sensation by the bellicose
lone of its article reviewing tho mili
tary events of tile year. The writer onn-
t-.ud# that the longer peace is main
tained the more must Germany try to
encourage the fighting spirit of the
army. The encouragement of this spirit,
he 'thinks, has been too much neglected
In recent years. He complains that the
science' of war has been limited too
exclusively to the staff and a few oth
ers, but believes that toe new regula
tions which wait into effeet last June
will tend to remedy this state of affairs.
Meantime, he says, the army remains
toujours en vedetle.
Tile authorship of this article Is much
discussed. The opinion most generally
accepted. Is that the emperor inspired
the criticisms, and Gen. Brorrsart von
3ohel!endorfi: put them In form for
publication.

The news of the death of Judge (H.
JI. Fitzgerald at his hom<|: in Warren,
ion last week was ns
Morgan county ns In Wa
Ho was born, reared, e iucated nitd
married in Morgan and for several
years of his young man hood was ti
prominent merchant o f iMadlson.
Nearly afi of his own at d his.wife's
relatives Uve here, among them Bald-
nTas, Burners, Ffizpatricl ;s, Godfreys
And Walton*, and his dear. 1 was almost
the same as that of ope of our own
citizens. Ho was county Judge of War
ren during tho cona.ldutloil of 1805, and
;tftCnt-mis, for twenty-five years, was
clerk of the superior ooulrt; and also
postmaster nearly as Iona at Warren-
ton. In 1893. he was defeated for cteric
by a Populist, hut he retallnd the ■post-
office untBl Ms death. Judge Fitzpat
rick was about, 00 years fold when he
died. He was a Democrjtt. a mason,
a Methodist, and. In the full sense of
toe word, a Southern gentleman.
A pctflinn to the ordlhanr Is circula
ting throughout the county praying
him to ardor an election under the
local option law. There,are six bar
rooms In Madison, each paying a, year
ly license of 8100, and the fight. If it
is ordered on, Is going to be a hot one.
It will bo the third election of the kind
In this county; and unless there has
been a radtoal change tn •popunr sen.
ttment since those trwo elections, which
were overwholmingy In favor Of the
licensed sale of liquor, the result will
be the same as baton. Tie advocates
of prohibition contend that the change
■has come and they are now ready to
offer battle. Meanwhile, they are gen
erally fair enough to admit that these
barrooms are so oonducted and the po-
I’ce ordinances arc so enforced, find
there is so little of c*>en drunkenness
on the streets that a stranper would
hav* to see toe barroom:' themselves
before he could pronounce Medison a
wet 8>wn. A verv strong argument in
favor «f the continued one comes
from a commercial standpoint. Quit-
man. Jasper, Waton and ether counties
where liquor Is contraband send thou
sands of dollars here for whisky which
greatly so*tains Madison's trade. Oth
er things being equal, the equl-dlatant
omntrjTnsu wtH bring tis cotton to
Madison along with his J4r. Of course
theie grcvMUnC oonsld<«ions are not
entertatmd by prohfMflu odvocates.
