DClfOCPdTTC Purposes.

The ridiculous squabbes of Democratic din
ner organizations here are likely TO create
false impression in some respects. The absence
Of any principle in the quarreing Is not surpris-
ing. and only the people who mistake blind and
ignorant prejudice for principle will expect
much more in other parts Of the country. But
the prejudices to which Mr. Bryan appealed,
and within his party so successfully are as
blind and as fierce as they ever were. If they
do not control as many men, they still control
much more than enough TO determine the action
Of the marty in most of the Western and South
orn States The machine Democrats of the
East and the Palmer Democrats everywhere
have nut themselves in such a position that
they can DO thrown ont Of the National COnven-
ton which is likely 10 recognize from the East
only such rump delegations as may profess I'M
qualified adhesion TO the Chicago platform. II
will probably he n sorry mistake If any Demo-
Graf imagines that the silver plank is TO be
dropped or materially altered. 1t will stand, If
for no other reason. TO mark as false TO the
party those Eastern influences which the West
and South expect TO exclude.
But it would be as great n mistake to sup
pose that there is TO he no appeal to the preju-
dices of voters at the East. The outcry against
iiiunctions. the pretencc that the Government
has become one Of captalistic tyranny and the
appeal 10 the socialistic and anarchistlc clement
among the workers will probably take a more
prominent part than before in Democratic tao
tics After months Of experience in stumpng
through the country Bryan came back to this
feature Of his platform toward the end OF the
contest of 1896, and showed his belief that it
would win more votes than any other He
found that the silver dogma. standing by itself
had no real strength with the great body OF
Eastern Democratic voters, but calculated that
artful appeals 10 the prejudces OF workers
against employers, Of the poor against the rlch
would provide the motive TO swing the ignorant
masses into line In support Of the silver cause
He detected Also the strong tendency toward
socialism and anarchy which exists In such la
Dor organizations as are mainly directed by and
composed OF immigrants from other countries
ab0r conditions there and here II Is evident
that these latest calculations were correct as to
the more ignorant Democratic voters OF Eastern
and Central States. Few were really caught by
silver theories but mutitudes by appeals to
blind prejudice.

paign OF 1900 should turn upon baser APP

THE INVESTIGATION.

II WAS quite natural that the suddenly ar
ranged scheme for n legislative investigation OIL
,nunicipal departments in this city should be re-
corded at first with considerable suspicion.
There had been more or less talk of such an I'M
dcrtaking from the beginning of the session. but
there was little reason to suppose that II repre-
sented any definite purpose on the part OF he
publican leaders, while the Governor was under
stood to be against the suggestion Nheh'
therefore. lust as the obstacles in the way OIL
lnnortant party measures were coming 10 be
recognized as probably insuperable, and while
Mr. Plat was the Governors guest at Albany
tho scheme was rushed through without pre-
vious notice observers Of public events who had
rothing more than superficial evidence TO go by
were warranted at least in suspending judg-
ment as 10 the motives inspiring the inyestl-
cation.
Since then several things have occurred 70
change the opinions even of the most incredu-
Ions Some members OF the committee are
known In this city 10 be men Of excellent char
octer and ability. and what they have said
about their plans and intentions. as well as
what they have left unsaid, has produced IA
vorable impression Again. the manifest I'M
easiness of Tammany has been an encouraging
sign. But more convincing than anything else
was the appointment of Mr. Moss as chief coun-
sci 10 the committee. Opinions may differ con-
corning the value Of his services as Police
Commissioner, and perhaps also concerning his
general professional qualifications; but there IS
10 doubt that he is in some respects pre-eml-
nently fitted for the particular work now before
him. and nobody believes that he is capable or
be,raying the public in the interest of any
party or person. SO far as ne is able 10 direct
the inquiry IT will he rigorous, fearless and I'M
Martial and it is difficult TO see how his legltl'
nate authority could be in any measure cur
tailed without subjecting the committee to
condemnation which 1t could not possibly afford
to incur But we do not mean TO suggest IN
saying this any suspicion OF the committee. Its
members assuredly knew when he was selected
what sort of man he was. and in our opinion
his appointment should be regarded as guar
antee of sincerity until something occurs to
cause dstrust.

against 40 per cent In Massachusetts. and 1t

The mere number Of shoe factories In opera

TO find that Massachusetts, having 1,O51 fac

now has only G43 against S67 In all other States
But the circular goes on TO say that Massachu-
sets NOW produces over 30 per cent OF the total
output Of shoes I'm value and considerably more
than that in the number Of pairs" That ought
to be true. because Massachusetts produced ac-
cording 10 the census 52.7 per cent Of the total
value and 55.3 per cent of the total number Of
pairs. But II the figures for 1890 are deserving
of confidence the output Of nll New England is
more than 80 per cent of all the shoes manu-
featured in the United States" This Is unfortu-
nate, because New England produced substan-
tally 20 per cent in 1890. namely. 124, 6G6. 100

the figures make Is not that great industry is
declining or losing its prosperity, but only that
II is moving.

FACTS WANTED.

Governor Roosevelt owes It 20 himself and TO
Commissioner Brown 10 make public the objec-
tons TO the latter which led to the refusal TO re-
appoint him Commissioner In Lunacy. 1t Is a
gross injustice TO a man generally believed
10 have performed faithful public service to let
it be understood that he is displaced from office
because OF some serious and mysterious fault.
II there are any charges against him both
the public and the man whose reputation Is
thus attacked are entitled to know them.
If Mr.. Browns rejection was a mere ques-
ton of politics, If 1t was necessary 10 con-
cate Mr.. Ode all right There may be
reasons of public policy which demand such
Cancellation. The Governor has not hitherto
hesitated to make openly concessions to practi-
cal politicians which less courageous reformers
would have preferred to make In secret, and he
has gained public respect by his stralghtfor-
ward honesty in so doing He does not need to
depart from that policy now, even II the result
has been unfortunate and Mr. Odells friend I'M
eXpectedly turns out to BE- a champion of May
rard and man whose former dealings with
the Lunacy Department have not been beyond
criticism. But even If important public inter-
ests required the giving Of this office to Mr..
Odell and even If Mr.. Odel wished to control
the place so as to bring the hospitals back into
politics. It is not fair to dlsplace Mr.. Brown
under the shadow of insnuations which nobody
will make specific.
We do not say this from any desire to cham
pion Mr. Browns cause. While the question
was pending studiously refrained from TAX
ing any part for or against his reappontment
If he IS tie bad man his critics insnuate we
want to know it and give credit to Governor
Roosevelt for retiring him. We simply say that
the published reasons for the action do not ex-
plain it, We have no doubt OF Governor
Roosevelt's good faith and good Intentions We
do not even question that he had good reasons
for not reappointing Mr.. Brown. We realize
the difficulties of his position and we dislike
even 10 seem 10 criticse a man who is evidently
trying TO do the best he can for the State with
imperfect and refractory instruments at his
command. But for his own sake. for the
sake Of the party, his action should be ex-
piained 10 the public by adequate reasons so
that he may not hereafter be reproached with
having dealt unjustly and in violation Of reform
principles with man who so far as the public
has had n chance TO learn has been an excellent
officer If the charges against him are not well
founded Mr.. Brown should have an opportunity
to refute them. And whether they are well
founded or III founded, Governor Roosevelt
should give the man who rests under them the
chance 10 know what they are.
