WORRING GARLANDS DEPARTMEN

UORhJNG GARLANUS OEPAR1MENI
The Russians have proverb that 1t is hard
to hide an awl in a sack. Mr.. Young's budget
of testimony has been lined with sawdust and
straw, but he has been unable TO conceal the
sharp-edged fact that the Pan Electric Com
pany had secretly combined with other COM
panies in liking" the Department of Justice
for their common interests. He has contra
dictcd himself in many matters OF detail and
additional evidence will be required before 4
clear and accurate account of the negotiations
can be obtained; but there Is no reason to
doubt that there was "A "pOoling of issues" and
that Mr.. Garlands associates were directly in.

terventou against the Bell Company.
Mr.. Young testifies that Mr.. Garland was not
Informed of these secret combinations and
back stairs negotiations Possibly the At
torney General did not know what was going
on, although as the owner of onetenth of the
stock he ought to have been informed of the
facts. Possibly he did not have the faintest
suspicion, when Mr.. Young introduced Mr.. Van
Benthuysen and the Memphis lawyers to him
iu july that they were deliberately planning
concerted campaign. Such guileless innocence
is not altogether credible, but let us not be un
generous Certainly the Attorney General, if
he did not know what Mr.. Young and Mr.. Van
Benthuysen were about, is in very unfOrtu-
nate position. His friends may be confident 1f
his innocence but they will have To admit that
if lie had been informed of his associates secret
negotiations and had desired to aid him in OBJ
tanning Government intervention, he would
have acted precisely as he did He would have
Withdrawn the application to the Interior De-
partment, he would have got out of the way for
the sake of appearances and LETT the Solicitor
General to order a suit with indecent haste
during his absence. An innocent man is always
placed Mt q serious disadvantage when it can be
proved that ne would not have acted differ
emily if he had been guilty in place of in
nOcent.
Whatever may be said of the Attorney Gen.
erals own part in these transactions, the col
luson of the two telephone companies in their
raid upon the Department of Justice cannot be
called in question. The original contract

II there ever was an office that needed 70 DC
removed far from the pale of politics, 1t Is that
Of Excise Commissioner. 1t Is in his power
greatly to restrain and confne the black tide OF
crime. disorder and human misery. His are
duties that require an enlightened conscience
and high mindedness not to be found IN the
nominees of political bosses and machine man
ayers. A provision that would take this ap-
poiptment out of the hands of politics and con-
fde it to some such authority as the ChIef JUS
tees of the Supreme and Superior Courts and
of the Court of Common Pleas might be wise

TAKE TIVE TO CONSIDER.

The State Senate hnrredly passed bill on
Tuesday giving to Mayor Grace the sole power
to appoint the Excise Commissioners OF this
city without the confrmatoIy voice of the
Board of Aldermen. The Assembly will do
well to take little time for reflection before it
consents to place the city any more entirely in
one mans power than it is at present. This bill
came from the Gibbs Committeeman a reas-
suring parentage. There arc unpleasant
rumoIs in circulation iptimating that the Mayor
has already bartered of these places.
Home rule for cities may be an essential ele-
ment of local self government, but home rule
must not be misunderstood TO mean one mans
rule. Mayor Grace has noticeable fondness
for that Interpretation. The law already gives
him a vast power which might have been far
better used 1t seems hard for him to absorb
the foct that the people do not regard a division
of spoils between himself and Hubert O.
Thompson for the benefit of that fast decaying
but ever hungry organization, the County De-
mOcracy, as being the highest purest and
nOblest form Of municipal administration Re-
formers like Mr.. Grace sometimes get into that
fallacOus way of thinking.
The Board of Aldermen arc bad lot. But
the fault is not in The system Of which they
form a part. 1t lies IN them personally. The
remedy is not TO take away their duties and re-
spOnslbilities, but to elect Board who will be
alive to bOth-honest, intelligent men, upon
whom public reliance may be placed. What
assurance is there that the city will always Gu
joy the services Of a good. up'ight Mayor who
can always be depended on - lend listening
ear to the unselfsh colnsels of Hubert o.
Thompson and to turn over all the public places
to such wholesome band Of patriots as the
County Demcracyf Why might not misfort-
une indict upon the town some wicked Tam
many Mayor who knows not HubertS Recent
events have taught the people the necessity of
electing honest Aldermen. and II the County
Democracy will give them chance by not

western strike was transferred yesterday from
New-YOrk to st. Louis, three members OF the
Executive Board of the Knights of Labor hav-
ing started for that city. The Missouri Pacific
Railroad informed shippers that the line is open
to receive freight. Several trains were sent
out. The strikers have not gone to work, but
Mr. Irons issued an order to Assembly 1O1,
stating that the Executive Board had directed
work to be resumed and adding: Honor de-
mands that those Who came out to support you
go to work first" The time for doing this he
did not name, and it is said that an effort may
be made to induce Secretary Turner to recall
the order. Mr.. Irons's notice 1oss not affect the

militia are ready to be called out at moments
notice. Violence is not apprehenced, however
