Why pattison Collapsed.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
1t is Il prominent characteristic of the
public record of Robert T.. Pattlson that II
has been made by personal influence near
est the governor Under the tutelage of
Lewis c. Cassidy and Stenger, his first
administration earned "A reputation for
virility, independence and integrity. I'm
der the influence of Harrity and Hensel,
his second administration was neutral and
coorless, except as u iigurehead for a
spoils organization. The descent from
Cassidy to Harrity as the power behind
the governor fully foreshadowed the wane
of that functionary from II possible presi-
dental quantity to a defeated candidate
for mayor.

r1r. Dana Should ApOlogize.

In general, the newspaper publisher
or editor who is sued for libel is de-
serving of the sympathy of his fellow
craftsmen, for the reason that a great
majority of such suits have no founda-
tion in justice. But there are excep-
4ions to this rule, and the suit about to
be brought against Charles A. Dana, Of
the New York Sun, by +. B. Noyes, Of
the Washington Star, seems to be one
of them. Mr.. Dana is the president Of
the United Press. Mr.. Noyes is a di-
rector in the Associated Press Mr..
Dana in his eagerness to promote the
business fortunes of the newsgathering
corporation OF which he is the execu-
tive head has frequently used the
editorial columns of the Sun to attack
the competing organization. He
did this in the case of Mel
willie Il. Stone, whom he abused SEEM
ingly without warrant, and for no other
apparent reason than because Mr..
Stone was the general manager of the
associated Press--and good one. He
did 1t in other cases.
Finally. he did 1t in the case of Mr..
Noyes, a man who stands as high in
his department of newspaper work as
Mr. Dana does in his. The editorial
of the Sun attacking Mr.. Noyes con-
tanned a conspicuous libel and 1t was
altogether uncalled for. Mr.. Noyes has
as good right, in both law and NOR
ais, to be one of the directing man.
ngers Of the Associated Press as Mr..
Dana has to be the president of the
United Press; nor has either gentle
man any moral-and, we question,
legal-right to abuse the other for the
exercise Of such obvious right and

1t is asserted, in dispatch from ST.
Paul, that the recent papal encyclical
against secret societies has been incor-
rectly interpreted. The letter, it is
said, was not mandatory, but only ad-
visory. This, if true, partially mends
matters, and even more liberal conces-
sions in the same direction may be con-
fden.ly expected.

A Remedy for overlegisla,ion.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The members of some state legislatures
seem this year to be afflicted with a
mania FOR the introduction OF measures Of
the cranklest character. Bills have been
introduced providing that men shall not
treat each other: that high hats shall not
be worn by women in theaters: that text
and copy books shall have on the face
of the cover a cut or picture of the United
States fig In Its proper colors, and n
whole host OF others equally as absurd.

cute Mr.. Dana for criminal libel may
seem harsh to those who, overlooking
Mr. Dana's one conspicuous weakness,
see in him u distinguished and praise

equalled, but it appears to us to be
necessary in order to ascertain how far
the law will permit business compe-

representation.
The Tribune is patron and fran
chise holder of the United Press, but

scoundrels. There is room in this great
country for two good news gathering
organizations, each of which will be the
better for the wit-sharpening compe-
tition of the other. Why should not the
warfare between them be u good
natured and open one? Why should
it require, on either side, the printing
against the opposite side of libels and
