A GRATIFYING CHANGE.

In years past THE TRIBUNE has urged the
Republican party TO keep near to the people, the
source of all power, if IT wished to maintain it's
hold upon popular support. In this way only, it
was shown, could the organization save itself
from drifting into that state Of hopelessness
and dry-rot that the Democracy has been Ill for
a quarter of a century. There have been times
when it seemed impossible to prevent the Re-
publican party from drifting in the same direc-
ton This leaning was painfully evident four
wears ago. when few self constituted bosses
undertook to force the party into an unnatural
position in the Presidential contest Fortu-
nately that peril was escaped. But after their
well-aid plans came to naught the power of
the men who engineered the movement ap-
peared scarcely lessened.
The people soon made it evident, how ever.
that this method of managing the Republican
marty met with their decided disapproval.
The first indications that Republicans would no
longer submit to the dictation of party bosses
were seen in the general revolt of last year.
The rebuke the bosses received then is toe
fresh in the public mind 10 need recapitulation.
As result Of that popular uprising Democratic
Governors dot the country from Cape Cod to
San Francisco Bay Other proofs of the people S
determination to rid the Republican party of
dictators have been given. Among them
the results of the Senatorial elections have
been significant. In Michigan, Nebraska,
Minnesota, Oregon and Colorado the caucus
has received severe setback and the ma-
nnuvring politicians have been taught Lesson
they will not soon forget. In these and in
many other ways the rank and file Of the Re-
publican party have enforced the precept that
their wishes and desires must be respected If
their support was TO be looked for in the future.
1t is gratifying to note that these indications
of popular disapproval have been needed. A

which certainly serve to reduce the element

not make much difference whether one cai'S
the operation "panic," or "stagnat1on," OF
"dry rot"; the effect on his bank account is
about the same.
The most striking and not by any means
the most comfortable feature of the situation
is that loans on colaterals have largely taken
the nlace of the old-fashioned commercial
notes. and even the commercial notes are nc
longer issued or discounted as they used to be-
under circumstances which gave the best pos
gible guarantee of their payment, but are
thrown on the market to be sold by brokers
where and when they can. The old idea oil
reliance upon the personal integrity or Dor
rover, or his business sagacity or close
acquaintance with his financial position. has
nearly gone out, like spent candle. Yet II
is VIGOROUSLY true that the new system OF
credits is not safer than the old In these
DAYS no one can Judge how much paper
merchant has out, or how much gamDllhe
there may be behind his borrowing, or whether
the collaterals that seem 30 good to-day VIII
prove equally saabe in any emergency. one
firm goes down owing $7,500,OOO or more
and is found to have been really bankrupt
wear or so for two millions, and yet the
present methods are such that its credit had
hardly been doubted until the very end. The
great failures which have been witnessed have
not brought about anything like what wal
once known as a panic, and yet they have
caused a considerable shrinkage OF credits
and forced settlements of immense amount
with heavy losses to many besides those who
were most in fault
IL is worth while to consider whether the
commercial methods which it is claimed dt
much to avoid extended panics may not hell

and TO impair the confidence which, as al
admit is 40 much needed in business circles
Conservative business men generally speak oil

BUSINESS METHODS.

Some wise persons who were sure a
week ago that there was no occasion for
any depression in the stock market. that
values were not inflated, that speculation was
scarcely observable, that banks had been
steadily improving their loans 30 that their
collaterals were safer than ever, and that
magnificent crops would bring to shame the
prophets and prophecies OF evil" are now
engaged in recounting some sound rea-
sons for expecting the depression which mas
occurred. 1t has been discovered at last,
that 6" the business which has its centre IN
Wall Street is under cloud y; that the manu-
facture of new securities has gone far beyond
all reason; that the public has some money
to spare but no confidence, and is particu-
larly distrustful of the speculative director.
Now the failure Of George William Ballou and
two smaller houses has not created new
heaven and new earth. 1t has only illus
trated again the ancient truth that, for most
people, hindsight is more accurate than fore
sight.
An extended panic, Of course, could not
come to pass, because there was lack of
material. shrewd writer has even ar
gued that commercial panics may have been

The Patrons of Husbandry, at their annual
meeting in PENNSYLVANIA yesterday. listened
to some sound advice from President Atner-
ton. of the State College. He cOmbated the
idea that farmers should combine to elect CIVIL
officers from among their own number, ana
emphasized the necessity OF efficiency IN theli
EMPLOYMENT. This advice was IN striking con-
trast to that of another speaker VINO urged
independent political action in order that
the farmers might get fair share OF the oiiices'
asserting that while they cast one-half the
electoral vote of the State, they constitute only
one-eighth of the Legislature. The farmers
as a class have the same interest in good gov
eminent as have voters engaged in other oc-
equations. As well might the tailors or shoe
makers combine for political action. But the
farmers are too intelligent to give much sup,
port to a proposition for independent political
action. There are other ways, however, as
was pointed out yesterday, In which they can
benefit each other by association. IL was
stated that horses and cattle to the value OF
several millions of dollars die annually from
preventabe diseases. To stop that loss by the
extension of correct knowledge on the subject
as well as to prevent waste in other ways oifers

tinue to operate.
