ROOM ENOUGH.

The recent meeting of the international
Convention of the Order of Locomotive
Engineers very emphatically stamped its
condemnation upon the effort to divert
that organization into political channels.
Chief Arthur very plainly told the radical
agitators that the great body, at the head
of which he stood, had no sympathy with
Communism or efforts to turn trades
unions into political ways, and had no
part to play in the interest of political
schemers, and the International Conven-
ton emphatically Endorsed his expressions.
Henry George breaches that there is no
room in America for any but landowners.
His doctrine begins and ends in that dogma.
But Chief Arthur in his address took
especial pains to condemn this doctrine,
saying:
Neither the capitalist nor the Iaborer is
wholly wrong. No one will justify expressions
complained of by candid and industrious work.
ingmen. The simple statement of their case
will command public sympathy and approval.
On the other hand, the public at large will
promptly condemn the willful destruction of
property and the interruption of business. 1t is
also prompt to disapprove of interference with
private rights. There Is room el,0lqh for eue,g
man in country like this, and erery man disposed

PROFESSIONALLY.

Eugene Lee in the Current, defends the
practice of impersonality in newspaper
writing. He does well. Every now and
then there is doomed upon the public a
host ofessays insisting upon personality, and
Legislators have gone so far as to propose
laws to compel publicity of the name of
the writer of each article. Aside from
being censorship of the press and op-
posed to republican institutions, they would
be unwise. Very few, indeed, are the
articles in any paper that are purely per-
sonal.
Most editorial writing is the result of
thought and joint action and con-
sultation between the writers and man
ayers on a paper that determine the
policy of journal There is no decep-
ton, nor yet any concealment, in the
writer's impersonality. individuality is,
and should be, merged in journalism. The
thought expressed should stand upon its
own merits, being neither aided nor Grip
pied by the knowledge of the personality
of the writer. The controlling minds of
manager and editor-in-chief and principal
writers determine the tone of the voice of
the journal. When uttered, it is that of
the paper, and not OF the person to whom
was given the task of formulating the ex-
preston. There is nothing but right,
therefore, ia the impersonal custom. A
writer gains nothing, the public gains
nothing, by the attachment of name to
the article presented-save in magazine
articles, where the personality is the chief
strength. The main interest in news
paper to the public is in its impersonal
character. 1t reflects views of the multi
possibly of the minority, but al,
ways Of what we term the public; for
true newspaper is reflex of public senti-
ment. 1t does not crdate it, though it
furnishes facts, and popular opinion grows
upon that basis largely. The papers ex
preston is an effort to mold, but it does
not create, public judgment. The news
paper article is the concrete expression of
the paper itself, not of the writer merely,
since the paper lives beyond and after
him. In fact, to introduce the personal
system would disabuse the charm that sur
rounds the most of newspaper reading
The very fact that what one reads does not
ride upon name, but upon its own logic
and reason and wit, is the chief reason for
reading

SHALL HE SUCCEED?

Let it not be forgotten that George
Hearst voted in the Legislature in 1865
against the amendment to the Constitu-
ton abolishing human slavery. He was
then young man; with the great thought
of the nation, just tried in the fires of civil
war, clearly before him. Yet with aboli-
ton of slavery an accomplished fact by
war, this man, whose faculties must have
been as clear and as sound as at any time
in his life, was one of forlorn band Of
eleven traitors who voted for the perpetu-
alton of Slavery.
For that was what fhe vote meant-iust
that and nothing less. Without that
amendment il would have been possible to
re-enslave the black man. With it it is
impossible, save by traitorous revolution
Could not George Hearst, then in his
prime, discern the tendercy of ciyiliza-
ton? No. Could he not see that human
freedom the world over had been written
to be accomplished sooner or later? No
he could not look beyond the dark circle
of slavery within which he was born and
had been reared.
What guarantee have we now that il
elected to the Senatorship he will be any
more far-seeing, will look any less back.
ward on any question? None. In the
name of human progress let all men pray
devoutly that the shame may be spared
this people of being represented ~ again
by the man George Hearst, the embodi.
ment of incompetence, the shriveled
corpse of dead slavery, the man whose
sole and only qualification is that he has
money, and uses it in elections to project
his ignorance and his fossilized ideas into
the political activities of the day.
If a Democratic Legislature is chosen
Hearst will be made United States Sen
atur. As such, with that body so evenly
divided, he may hold in his hand the
molding of the policy of the nation, and
determine possibly the fate of free insli
tutions, assailed as they are by all manner
of isms and all Styles of imprac, icable and
unholy reforms"

meet the expectation which his candidacy
has raised in the breasts Of the toiling
masses, the problem which will confront
Dir. George will be to prove that his fail
ure to accomplish what his following had a
right to expect, is not due to any recreancy
on his own part, but to the obstacles which
beset the contamination of his wishes. Mr.
George is possessed of sufficient ability to
show the party of which he will be the
leader that it is no fault of his that all the
disparity between the condition of the
rich and the poor, existing before his cleo
ton, and still obtaining after his election,
is due to the doctrine that every man has
right TO acquire all the property his in
dustry and thrift deserves, and that the
difference between the worldly possessions
of men is due to the difference of inherent
faculty, capacity, industry, economy, and
all other mental attributes which combine
70 make the successful man of business.
Herr Most concluded his interview by
saying: 81 believe that Henry George
himself must certainly become convert to
revolutionary doctrines" This is per-
fectly reasonable, and even probable, fore
cast of the situation. Unable to fulfill any
single promise he has made, Mr.. George
must meet the anger and disappointment
of his following with some plausible excuse
for his failure; and the only reasonable one
which he can give is that the existing in
stitutions Of society make no provision for
the suppression of the difference of capaci-
ties among men, and that the only way to
equalize the distribution of wealth is to
destroy utterly the existing social and civil
fabric, and erect in its stead commune,
wherein thrift, economy and industry shall
make equal distribution of the result of
effort with sloth, Incidence and IMPROVE
dence. Thus, the communistic theories of
Henry George will begin to bear their le-
gitimate fruits, and the great economist
himself be forced to lead a communistic,
socialistic and revolutionary movement, or
be forced to admit that his theories had
nothing in them OF practical value toman-

but sooner or later that impartial judgment
and high sense of justice, inseparable from
civilized life, regains its sway, and mis-
leading demagogism loses its power over
the public mind.
To that calm, deliberate courage which
is founded on the conviction of right, we
are indebted for the continued expansion
Of the railroad system of this State and
the development of all the attributes of
civilization which have attended that ex-
tension. If, having early mastered the
primitive principles by which a fair ad-
justment of the rights of the shipper and
the carrier alone could be reached, we have
laid ourselves amenable to the charge Of
being railroad organ, we accept the APP
pellation with pride. If resistance to in
sane onslaughts, which, if they had been
as successful as their dishonest projectors
designed, would have arrested the develop
ment of the railroad system of the Pacific
coast, makes US amenable to the charge of
being railroad organ" we will wear the
title with high pleasure, esteeming it an
honorable badge of well-merited distinc-
ton. Happily, there is no railroad ques-
ton in the political issues of to-day, as
that question has been understood in the
past. Happily, the power of demagogues
over the minds of the peopls has been
neutrallzed by the great and apparent
good which the railroads of California are
comforting upon its people. Our contem-
porary, therefore, is not either skillful or
fortunate in the selection of an epithet in
which to express its dyspeptic ill-nature;
and, if it were intelligent upon the present
condition of public sentiment, it would
know, to its discomfort, that charges of
this kind, like blank cartridges, may be
noisy in explosion, but harmless in execu-
ton

NOT FOR HIM.

1t has been industriously given out that
the communicates of the Roman Catholic
Church are in sympathy with Mr.. Georges
impracticable ideas, but the dispatches of
Thursday state that Vicar-General Preston
has given the lie to this story. He says
that the great majority of the Catholic
clergy of New York city are opposed to
the candidacy of George, as his principles,
if carried out, would ruin the working
men. 1t is added that the Archbishop has
inhibited Father McGlinn, who supports
George, from making political speeches.
This certainlS does not tally with the
statements made by Georges apostles, and
puts to rout the story that the Catholic
clergy approves of his doctrines.

THE OUTLOOK.

From every quarter comes good news for
the Republican candidate, John F. Swift.
He makes friends wherever he goes. From
the armor of his irreproachable character
the shafts of calumny fall harmless. His
clear, straightforward declarations concern
ing the Wigginton party have recalled
those who were being drawn off by that
phantasy to thoughtful consideration Of
what the result of their detection must be.
All the outlook for Swift and Waterman
and the State ticket is cheering, and Re
publicans never had greater reason to an
ticipate complete victory. But they must
not trade; they must resist all the tempta-
tons of the enemy, and mast stand true TO
their legislative tickets. For what a
shame it would be, to be sure. after elect

THE course of the General Assembly Of
the Knights of Labor proved that the con-
sentative element dominated in that body,
and, assuming it to be representative, it
must be taken that the great mass of
workers that body stands for, are opposed
to all forms of Socialism, and not in har-
mony with either George or Most. In
dustrial organization that is calm and not
agitated by hot blood becomes, as do all
organized efforts within the laws of So
ciety, conservative, and in the main will
free itself of lawless elements. The
Knights of Labor, therefore, give no en-
enlargement to the Socialist school.
