Theodore Roosevelt Laughs at Pre-

ANENT POLICE PROMOTIONS
special Correspondence of The Evening Star


NEW YORK, December = 1888.
If Col Theodore RooScvet's words are to
h. taken seriously there will be great
king of states and crushing of hopes.
1T is very funny to me to read about my
states and other peoples slates,'' says the
slated for positions arr persons l never
heard of at all. The other IL per cent are
fully 30 per cent wrong. 1t is an amusing
guessing match they are having"
One thing is pretty well assured, and that
is that the eovernor-elact will not sane ton
any legislation looking to the amendment
of the Greater New York charter, or of the
political purposes for political retalia-
ton. Home rule for cities is not a demo-
cratic issue, although Richard Croker re-

has refused stcadfastly to lend his favor
to any proposed legislation conflicting with

Roosevelt, it is said, intends to follow Gov
ernor Blacks example in that regard.
Republican leaders. many of whom, in
personal spite against TaInmany, have
urged the creation of a metropolitan polio
commission, have become convinced finally
that Governor-elcct Roosevelt will not lend
himself to such a scheme any more than
Governor Black did. This is not pleasant
situation for the Platt men to face for a
second time, but the fact that they have
made up their minds to grin and bear it
shown by an expression which one of
them used:

The police of the city are looking for pro-
motions to fill the vacancies in the grades
of inspector and captain. They are long
overdue and there was some marvalng
about the cause till the explanation was
passed around that Crokers absence made
any move in this direction impossible. Now
that Mr.. Croker Is back. the police want to
know what new obstacle has come between
them and the excitement of promotions.
There is every reason for haste A repub-
licdn legislature is apt to violate the sacred
principle of home rule and seize upon
the whole department. An investigation
may be impending. The farmers are con-
sdcred reckless about committee inqusi-
ticnS. The way to Ito political business is
to follow thc farmers rule-make hay while
the sun shines. And the sun is shining up
on Tammany at the present. So the poll
ticians reason, and the police appla ud-at
least the Tammany police do. But when
Croker reappeared in town the police were
gricvously disappointed. He did not want
to be bothered with police promotions. The
whole batch is not worth $30,001, and Gro
ker is not well. The only hope Is that he
will turn the business over to some subor-
dinate and let him dicker with the candi-
dates. Even If this is done, however, there
may be somes delay. While this may be the
last chance before the legislature convenes
1t must be remembered that captaincies are
not worth as much as they were in ante
election days. Devery has had some places
to close up, and one Of the fattest precincts
is being sacrificed to public opinion Of
course, ii the republicans do not infringe

Future of Steel.

OF the manufacture of steel in this coun-
try, Mr.. Cowen believes that its progress
will outstrip even that of shipbuildine. be
cause of the many avenues in which it is
ROW finding and will continue to find en-
pioyment. Structural Iron is being used
more ana more in the building trades every
day because of its greater strength and
durability. OF course, the largest consumer
of the product of the steel manufacturer Is
the railroad Great as it is, however. the
promise is that it will be multiplied by the
use of steel in the construction of freight
cars.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany recently, as stated in The Star, gave
an order for one thousand steel cars. EX-
perience in the operation of railroads shows
that as between a steel coal hopper and a
wooden ear with equal room capacity
measured by cubic feet accommodation
for. say, forty tons). the steel car is ~ per
cent lighter and will last twice as long The
cost Of construction is several per cent less
This secures to the railroad an increased
power of transportation, at same cost with
q large reduction in the cost of maintaining
rolling stock.

POWERLESS AS 1T is.
MONEY CONTROLS LEoISLA-
TION. PEOPLE HELPLESS.
Under our Present Political System,
Wealth has Become Greater Than
Humanity and, by Preversion OF
law, Creature Greater Than Creation.

The more one considers the possbil-
tiles CT the referendum the stronger
becomes his conviction that this meas
ure, in connection with its logical ac-
companiments-th initiative impera-
tive mandate, and proportional repre-
entation-should be given first place
among the numerous plans for gov
ernmentHl reform now being 80 indus
triously ugitatcd. 1t should be given
first place because 1t is in itself the
key that would open the way to all
that legislation could possibly do for
us. 1t would, by giving the'people a
direct and practical veto power over
all important legislation, at once
change our government from theoret'
ical democracy, ruled by Wall street,
to actual democracy, governed by the
people,
The power OF money to control leg
islation, and to the extent to which
such power has been and still is being
used, are too well known to require
illustra ton here. Under our present
political system wealth has become
greater than humanity; the creature,
by seeming pervision Of natural law
greater than its creator. Money is
now absolute king But how, except
) by some means that will take from
wealth its power to control legislation,
can the people ever hope to regain
their sovereignty? When the income
tax was in the federal supreme court,
it wus commonly remarked that u
combination of capitalists or corpora
tions could we'll afford to pay as much
as 81, 900, 600 for the deciding vote, and
IL is readily seen that situation might
ut any time arise, in court or legisla-
tive assembly, where it would be good
business policy" for corporations to
pay almost any price to carry their
point. +'H'
A common reply to any attempt at
political proselyting is; ''If your men
get in they will be no better than
those now in; they will sell you out;
they are all alilse-all after Doodle, "
What can we say to opinions based so
largely upon actual experience? Have
not all parties time and again sent
men to congress and the legislatures
In whom the voters had explicit conf
dence, only find sooner or later that
their trusted servants had succumbed
