NEVERTHELESS"

"Neverthelcss." said Mr.. Beecher one evening
at Plymouth Church prayer-meeting, as the
good sister who had occupied considerable time
in pious talk not very much to the purpose re-
sumed her seat, nevertheless just the
suggestion Of sigh-"my belief that women
have Just as good right as men to speak In
public is unchanged"
Since The Tribune expressed it's conviction
that no harm, but great good would come from
the free discussion initiated by the Citizens
Union of the merits and qualifications Of candi-
dates and Of the policy to be pursued In the
coming municipal election, the general debate
Las become more animated. Some Of the dis
putants have grown warm, and we have OBJ
served a disposition on the part Of one or two
Of our esteemed contemporaries to fling Ian
cuage at each other on account Of differences
Of opinion as to who should make the nOml-
rations, what nominations should be made. and
whether, when they are made, anybody Dut
those whom Senator Plat with fine sarcasm
calls "the best citizens" shall be invited to sup
port them. 1t is to be regretted, OF course that
anything like that should be engendered in the
discussion, and more to be regretted that at
SO early a stage the entente cordiale which Is
the normal condition Of the newspaper brother
Hood OF this city should be disturbed. Nothing
is more depressing to the voter who trusts Inn
pllcitly in the omnipotence as well as the ON
niscience Of the press than to see newspapers
fllnging language at each other.
Nevertheless" as Mr.. Beecher sad The
Tribune continues to believe that the discus
sion will do good. 1t may flag little at inter-
walls between this time and election, but in the
mean time 1t will bring about world OF en-
l:ghtenment as to what sundry powerful per-
sons are driving at, besides giving the public
much needed information concerning the quail
fcations Of candidates. So by all means let the
debate proceed let us all listen and read, and
let as many of us as can command our tempers
keep COOL

A DUTY FOR A TRUST.

The Western men, Congressman and others,
who hold trusts in holy horror and want duty
Of IN cents on hides nicely illustrate the ease
with which combinations of capitalists sometimes
manage to get their most conspicuous opponents
10 do their work The United States Leather
Company holds more foreign hides than all tho
rest Of the people in the country, it is safe to say
1t bought enormously in controlling the market
IN 1895. when prices of leather and hides were
nearly doubled, and Buenos Ayres hides at New
York were hoisted from II to II cents. and of the
oo3 752, 757 pounds imported thatyear 1t is known
to have imported large part. It's official state
ment at the end Of that year showed S11, 49,
1913 81 invested in hides and leather in process
of manufacture on hand besides Sl9,SS2, 304 in
the hands Of subordinate companies, to which
it had made advances Of s15,4O5,504 49, In 1895
prices of Buenos Ayres hides declined cents,
which on the quantity held by the main COM
pany alone involved loss or about S2,OooOoo
II none had been sold and probably much more
on the hides held by the other companies. The
official statement for the end OF last year, ac-
cordlng TO THE Shoe and Leather Reporter"
showed that the company had lost on its opera
lions in 1896 S1,74l GAG. owing to 1.-The great
shrlnkage in values At the average import
price of last December the company alone must
have held something like 1O,OOO,OOO pounds, and
how much the subordinate companies held can
only be guessed, but II duty could raise the
price ia cents, 1t would make present OF some
thing more than $l,5O0,OO to the United states
Leather Company II would be amusing to see
this done by the votes Of monopoly haters, who
would then spend the rest Of their lives In ex-
planning to constituents, truthfully, no doubt,
that they did not vote as the servants OF the
Leather Trust but merely in ignorance.
The fact Is that the duty probably would not
CORRESPONDENCE advance the price of foreign
hides, though 1t would help to raise the price OF
leather, while there is no reason to suppose that
It would raise prices Of American hides at all.
The hard flint hides, mainly imported. do not
affect the market for American hides nor take
the place of them, except In times OF especial
scarcity and the mode Of marketing cattle at

A BAD BEGINNING.

The formal appearance Of Patrick Jerome
Gleason in the field as a candidate for first
Mayor Of the enlarged municipality with which
his own private bailiwick Is about to be incor-
porated does not overcome us like summer
cloud, inasmuch as his intention had already
been made known. There is, nevertheless,
certain unexpectedness in his mode Of launching
himself upon the rising tide Of local politics. In
the first place. his choice Of nomination by
petition, whether an error Of tactics or not I'M
mistakably indicates a change Of purpose, If not
q change of heart. When Patrick first men,
toned the circumstance that he was going to be
elected Mayor next November by an overwhelm-
ing majority he described himself as the regu-
lar Tammany candidate, whereas his petitioners
now announce that he is the nominee OF The
Neither Tea Nor Tiger Party. This designation,
while highly original is not conciliatOry. and
would seem to preclude the possibility OF Pat
rck's nomination by Tammany. 1t likewise in
wolves an abandonment Of his celebrated mo
campaign, no PLATFORM nothing but Gleason
policy which aroused such enthusiasm two years
ago. for the name OF the party IS a PLATFORM IN
itself.
II the terms Of Parick's petition are to be
interpreted as a bold defiance Of Tammany, 1t
remains to be considered whether they have any
compensatory merits. We violate no confidence
in saying that, though Patrick might not have
been the first choice for Mayor OF the Citizens
Union, even if he had refrained from nominal
Ing himself 1t Is now certain that the Union will
not violate its principles by indorsing him.
From that point Of view, therefore, he appears
to have lost rather than gained by breaking
away from the Tiger Nor, on the other hand,
does his respectful silence on the subject or the
Elephant constitute sufficient reason for sup
posing that the Republican machine managers
will take him up. Moreover, those Republicans
who think we'll Of Mayor Strong will be alien
ated by the open hostility to the present regime
which is avOwed in the declaration that the
Gleason party is neither Tea nor Tiger, especially
in consideration of the fact that It involves
confession of shocking ingrattude. 1t will be
remembered that when the perfdy of his man
Scotty had left Patrick without suitable sleep
ing apparel on the occasion Of the visit OF the
Charter Commission at Ellerse last summer, 1t
was Mayor Strong who suggested to him the pro-
prety and advantage of touching Governor
Morton for a suit Of pajamas, whereby he was
enabled to pass the night In decency and COM
fort.
On the whole, therefore, 1t appears to us that
Patrick has made several serious. If not abso-
lutely fatal, mistakes. He has abandoned
method of campaigning Of which he possessed
a complete monopoly, he has turned his back
upon his natural allies, and the anchors which
he has cast to wndward have already begun to
drag We seldom make predictions. but we don't
see how he can be elected.

4 WHOLESOME SLAUGHTER.

That was q cheering bit Of intelligence pub

ing aught of the origin, cause or purpose Vi any
of them. only that they were part OF the over
whelming output of the late Legislature, we
venture to say that these two Mayors ana the
other Mayors as well in proportion 10 'heir snaie

We have had our laugh at the manner In which
the Legislatures of the new States have oeeh
pouring out laws Of all sorts for the last SIX
months but when we come TO reflect that' IN
addition TO the large number or DIS which
came out OF our own legislative hopper and went
upon the statute-bOok during the session, more
than eight hundred which had passed both
houses lay upon the Governors desk awaiting
his action when the session closed it VIII ap-
near that, after all. the laugh is somewhat on

TARIFFS AND BROTHERLY LOVE.

Canada enacts n high protective tariff against
United States goods. and discriminating duties
In favor Of British goods works her railroad
system for all it Is worth In competition with
United States lines. with the aid OF Government
subsidies and the United States bonding conces-
sion: and establishes line Of swift Atlantic
steamers. for the avOwed purpose OF taking
traffic away from United States lines and
United States ports. Upon all Of which Sir
Donald Smith, Canadian High Commissioner
in London and beneficiary OF Canadian Govern
ment subsidies, remarks that these things mere.
IL accentuate Canada's attachment to the
Mother Country, and do not betoken the slight
est hostility to the United States. Probably
that is quite true. Certainly II is the sublmated
uuintessence Of eternal verify In the esteem OF
your simon-pure tariff-reforming Anglolater.
Yet when the United States enacts protec-
