Missourians are always doing something
to surprise the balance of the human race
Sometimes the surprises are not to be COM
mended but ocCN sionally there is virtue in
them The most startling OF recent occur
renceS in ST. Louis is the action of the Tax
payers League. which has brought suit to
restrain the mayor of st. Louis from COL

he was absent from his post and engaged
In political work in other and remote Parts
of the state. Party conventions have been
quite common in Missouri during the past
month. and Mayor Walbridge was I'M
doubtedly more deeply interested in them
than he was in mayoralty affairs he
neglected municipal matters as frequently
as he cared to in order that he might not
be missed from any convention. In that
way, so says the Taxpayers League his
honor has misspent great deal of time
which properly belonged to the city, and
now the League petitions the courts to
dock the mayor something like eleven hun
dred dollars. which the mayor WAS about
to draw. although he had not earned the
money 1t is probable, We imagine that
the League will lose it's suit; not because it
deserves to-for it really ought to win-but
because contracts between the people and
their so-called servants are often loosely
Drawn SO far the public interest is con-
cerned. From the equitable standpoint the
League has the long end of the argument
hut law IS not always equity. The prece-
dent which the League would establish
might, If 1t were established. cause Con-
gTessmen no end of trouble.

The Presidential Nominations

If William Mckinley is nominated at St
democracy at Chicago?
There are democrats who. while not I'M
derraung MIR. Mckinley in the slightest
would Yet be very glad to see him win at
st. Louis. They concede his strength and
personal popularity. and also that he would
be likely to lead his party to success at the
polls. But his nomination would, they
think. simplify matters very much for both
sides, but especially for the democracy 1t
again to the front and keep it there and on
that issue there would be no danger of a
democratic split. The party is united on
that issue. however much 1t may be divided
on other issues. With the income tax elm
mated, the Wilson bill is acceptable to east
ern as we'll as to southern democrats, and
on the strength of having passed a tariff
bill reducing the revenue the party could
again declare for tariff for revenue only

By this time Congress should be sufh-
GENTLY well informed to local telephone
conditions to be ready for action Hearings
and rumors of hearings have been common
ever since the commencement of the scs-
sion, but none of those formal or informal
conversations seems to bring us nearer the
desirable condition of fair recompense for
the service rendered. The telephone ought
rot now to be ranked with the luxuries, for
TO every store and office and in many homes
It is necessity, but the rates charged by
the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company are prohibitory to a large number
of people who really want telephone service
hut who cannot afford to pay the tariff now
exacted. Telephone rental in many other
American cities is much lower than 1t is
here, while in Europe the figures are very
much smaller. The Bell Company has I'M
questioned control of the corporation which
operates WashingtOns telephone system.
In cities where competition has become a
reality or where 1t could be threatened with
any show of making the threat good. the
Bell Company has reduced its prices one
half and sometimes more; proof that reduc-
ton is possible. without destroying profits.
In this city Congress has power over the
telephone rates; it may do what seemeth
unto it best, whether that be reduction of
the tariff or the chartering of one or more
new companies. The Star is of the opinion
that the establishment of new companies
woul1 not be the surest and more satisfac-
tory method of securing the relief for which
there is insistent demand. With three COM
panies operating in the District of Columbia
there would be inevitable confusion and
dissatisfaction because all telephone lessees
would not be subscribers to all the COM
MI to -,
would surely be over conduits and poles and
wires To be entirely satisfactory to the
public the telephone business must be
monopolistic-no merchant wants to have a
row of telephones on his wall-but there is
no reason why 1t should be oppressive in
the conduct of its affairs. Congress should
fix a reasonable maximum rate and see to it
that the corporation which feels able and
willing to serve the public at that rate
the existing company by preference, lives
up to the congressional requirements.

trying to avoid. Foreign affairs would be
dangerous. Hawaii and the backwardness
about Cuba would be quoted every time
against Venezuela. But the tariff would af-
ford the basis for agreement. That Is an
old cry. and one with which the whole party
has repeatedly been rallied, and the demo-
cratic leaders referred to believe that 1t
still possesses great potency.
Whose fortunes among the democratic
leaders would be best promoted by a re-
vival Of the tariff issue?
The first name suggested Is that of WILL
lam r. MORRISON. He is regarded as the
father Of the tariff reform issue. He has
stood for 1t in all circumstances and at all
times. Among old-line democrats he stands
as conspicuously for low tariff as Mr..
Mckinley does among old-line republicans
for high tariff. His friends, indeed. in
sist that if Mr.. Mckinley is to lead the re-
publicans. Col. Morrison is pre-eminently
the logical man to lead the democrats. His
name Is going before the Chicago conven-
ton. and with very considerable support.
New York Is said to be for him. and as
Senator Hill will be at the head of that
delegation. support from that quarter will
be important. Col. Morrison has a good
record as a soldier. and as a member of
Congress an excellent record on the pen
sion question. He is conservative as to
silver.
The name of Secretary Carlisle is also
mentioned. He. too is a tariff reformer of
high standing. He defeated Mr.. Randall
for Speaker of the House on the tariff is
sue. and was twice reelected. He was Sc
lected for his present office largely because
Of his thorough knowledge of the whole
tariff question. The party had just been
returned to power on that issue, and Mr..
Cleveland felt the necessity Of calling to
the Treasury Department the man most IA
miliar with the subject. Mr.. Carlisle's
name will go before the Chicago conven-
ton. His friends assert that Kentucky
will be certain to instruct for him, and that
he will have the support of a large>number
of the sound money democrats OF the east
The administration will be for him, but for
prudential reasons he will rot appear dis
tinctly as the administration candidate.

When Natures harmonies all blend
To melodies of May,

Life daily grows more dear.

Just glad that We are here.
When from the sward the flowers creep
To feel the tepid dew.
When languid cloud-banks curl and creep
Far in the limpid blue,
The strange ambitious dreams we had
Like phantoms disappear,
And April leaves us gently glad
Just glad that we are here.
