MGUIRE'S TEN

Mayor McGuire's discovery that this coun-
Try is In the grasp Of ten despots works up
handsomely in campaign documents. His dec
laration that ten men in America control the
business Of the United States and that "at
their joint word or command the country
would experience the horror and miseries of
"a National tie up" we can well behave meets
the enthusiastic approval of Mr. Bryan It ia
good diet for throwing fits, and we should not
for the world wish to disturb the Brvanite
medicine men IN any Of the rites or incantations
Of their craft But aside from the purDoses
of the political powwow and the impressing of
the faithful with the medicine mans inspira-
ton we do not think the menacing spirit con-
jured up will excite much terror
Mr.. Mcguire thinks that his handful of fen
"men have 1t in their giant power, whenever
''the whim caprice should seize them, to
''paralyze and stop permanently the wheels of
industry In nearly every staple or commodity
"of the country" This is much to be doubted
Men have tried to corner staples more than
once, and in spite of enormous power have
failed. We do not believe that any ten or
any hundred men could control the industries
Of this country, Notwithstanding the growth
OF trusts. But even II ten men do control the
present operations of business it does not fol-
low that they can do the terrible things which
Mayor Mcclure quakes over. In the first place
the ten never would have any such whim
Their interest would be to conduct business. not
to paTalyze it, They never would and never
could combine for National "tie up" The only
people who seem able to combine for "tie uD"
are the labor agitatOrs, and they always fail
after making a disturbance and running counter
TO the general welfare.
Ten despots might combine for certain pur-
poses, but even If in theory they were able to
combine to stop the wheels of industry in prac-
tice they could not do it. In theory the Gar Of
Russia is absolute monarch and can do what he
will with all his subjects, but in practice he
is strictly hedged about. He could as easily
order and enforce the wholesale execution Of
whole cities full Of his people as the hypothet-
fcal ten could put their heads together TO stop
the affairs which they control Imagine the
owner of a great railroad from caprice tying
it up! The caprice would mean the end of his
supposed absolute control. That is all He
controls forces becauses he rules them In the
direction Of their natural progress. just as a
miller controls a waterfall But let any great

RAmApo NO LOCAL ISSUE.

The remark has now and then been made that
Ramapo is a local issue. Granted, some say,
that it involves material interests of this city,
they are interests of this city alone. The State
at large is not concerned. 1t is for the city 10
look out for it's water supply as best 1t can. 1t
must not expect that subject to be taken up
by the whole State as an issue of general i'm
portance And so on. Such views are we have
observed, most commonly expressed by those
who may not unreasonably be suspected of
partiality toward the Ramapo scheme. To such
doubtless they seem good campaign material.
In so far as they are put forward by honest
and disinterested persons, we must regard them
as seriously mistaken. and as based on mad
euuate knowledge or superficial judgment
It would be a narrow and an erroneous view
of the case that should regard the vital welfare
of this city as a matter of Indifference TO the
State. This city is, In population wealth and
business influence, so large part Of the whole
State that the rest Of the State cannot afford
to ignore it In such fashion. On that ground
alone Ramapo is enough Of general issue to
deserve the most general attention. But there
is another ground It is that the Ramapo
scheme expressly involves a considerable part
Of the State outside of this city, and more or
less directly menaces all It is a scheme not
only for robbing the City Treasury, but for
seiZing for selfish purposes the water rights,
powers, privileges and supplies Of the State at
large. II its charter stands, and If its designs
prevail, no farmer in the State will be secure
in his water privileges, and no town will be
assured Of the permanency and freedom of its
water supply. That piratical concern is char
tered to go where It will and grab what 1t
Will. Il Is a menace more or less direct to
every water user from Niagara to Montauk.
OF even still more general interest Of not
only State but National and universal inter
est are the fundamental principles involved.
The failure or success Of Ramapo will determine
whether or not q private corporation is to be
invested with greater powers than a great pub
lie municipality, and whether or not private
monopolies are to be tolerated IN public necessi-
ties. If Ramapo wins its case the next day
will see its scope extended and its methods
adopted elsewhere and IN other things. No city
or town or rural district will be safe from cor
porate extortion and blackmail. Thus the bat
tie that is being fought against Ramapo is not
merely for the defence of this city's treasury
against raid Of looting. It is for the protec-
ton Of every municipality and every citizen.
and for the vindication Of principle which is
essential to the welfare OF every community
where order, justice and a decent regard for
the rights of men are to prevail. Such an issue,
1t may confidently be maintained. is not mere
local issue

.BA1L OF FAME" LIMITATIONS.

It is an annoying paradox, but II is a fact,
that the best features Of an undertaking are
often the very ones which call up against 1t the
most criticism. 1t is injudicious and ignorant
criticism. no doubt, but it exists and has GER
tain pretudicial force. There are, for example,
current various carpings and fings at the Hall
of Fame which is being built at New-York Uni
versity, on account Of the omission from the
lists Of suggested names Of the names of GER
tain Americans whom all regard as having been
in the foremost rank OF those entitled to COM
memorative distinction. The names of Lowell
and Holiness for example, have been mentioned
by these critics, and 1t is Indignantly asked
what sort of Hall of Fame for great Ameri-
cans this Is to be which omits such names as
theirs.
The answer Is obvious and conclusive at
least to all who do not share the ignorance OF
such critics. One Of the most conspicuous of
the rules adopted for the selection of names for
the Hall Of Fame, and one Of universally recog-
nized fitness and necessity, was that no name
should be inscribed whose bearer had not been
dead at least ten years. That was to assure
deliberahOn Of judgment and to prevent the
inscription under ephemeral enthusiasm of
names which in a few years would be deemed
unworthy Of such distinction. or course no
such precaution is necessary in the cases of
Lowell and Holmes, whose title to fame was
indubitably established within their own lives
But to make any exceptions to the rule would
be worse than to have no rule at all. So the
names OF these and OF other great men must
wait until 'the fatal asterisk of death" has been
set against them for ten years. when doubtless
they will be inscribed upon the tablets that will
have been kept waiting for them.

IN EMRARRAssED ORATOR PUFF.

Like Orator Puff Colonel Bryan convicts him
self of employing two voices in leading and
rallying the forces behind him in his second
Presidential campaign. Four years ago, when
the single paramount issue of free coinage drew
Silver Democrats, POpulists and Silver Re
publicans alike TO his standard the fusion
nominees appeals and arguments were pitched
70 one unvarying, strenuous, radical note. With
all the courage and recklessness of the doc
trinaire in politics the candidate Of 1895 de-
clared that he had begun "a war Of extermtna-
tion' against a standard Of values which made
"dearer money, cheaper property, harder times,
more people out of work. more people desti-
'tute, more people desperate, more crime" In
this war he asked no quarter" and would
give no quarter" It was a struggle TO be
prosecuted until mot an American citizen re-
amained bold enough to advocate that system
~of finance in which were rooted all the Ma
''tion's visible ills"
Times change and the exigencies of politics
change with them. But who even twelve
months ago could have imagined the fiery leader
OF q still unfinished war of determination"
the vociferous champion of a cause "based on
law as sure as the law of gravitation," cloak
ing his ardor under such cold and formal as
surances Of unchanged loyalty as 1ll his ac-
ceptance speech to the Populist Notification
Committee yesterday at Topeka? On August
s. at indianapolis, accepting nomination from
a convention which had declared 1.-The consent
Of the governed" the paramount issue" of
his second canvass, Colonel Bryan eagerly
sought to spread the impression that he acqui-
esced in the shifty effort Of the Kansas City
pla form makers TO obscure the party's re-
nevged and explicit demand for free silver coin
age On that occasion Orator Puffs voice
struck the needed new note with ample smooth
ness and volume. Facing at Topeka so soon
after the representatives OF a convention into
whose calculations no Juggling Of issues had en-
tered. and in whose view the cause Of silver
imitation is still preeminent and paramount ii
was perhaps no surprise that the Nebraska
leaders older note should sound so hollow and
cavernous.
He could not, indeed. escape the admission
that the Kansas City and Sioux Falls plat
forms alike committed him TO the continued and
earnest advocacy Of a dishonest silver stand
ard. Try as he might he was obliged TO con-
fess that II his Populist supporters felt
justified in opposing the Republican party In
'other years, when it sought to conceal its
"gold standard tendencies, that opposition
"should be more pronounced in proportion as
"the Republican party more openly espouses
gold monometallism." Nor could he avoid
declaring 10 his PopuIst allies that "the failure
'of the Republican party to secure international
''bimetallism and IFS open espousaI Of the gold

from these the tumult and the shouting were

whole guild.
1t is not easy to estimate how much harm to
the world was done by the deluge of Shanghaed
lies. Happily it did not provoke riots or serious
disturbances here, and II was probably not
sufficiently reflected upon China to have any
materially malevolent effect there. But it was
an evil thing to pervert widely the views of
the peOple-for inevitably these lies found many
believers, and many of these will, despite all
corrections never be able fully to rid their
minds of the falsehOods thus introduced into
them. 1t was a cruel thing thus to wiring
myrtads OF hearts with anguish. And it was
wicked and inconceivably foolish at the same
time thus to provoke in reasoning minds
unutterable distrust and disgust toward the
authors and purveyors of the stuff and in some
inevitable measure toward the whole profession
which they discredited The world will long
remember the Chinese troubles of 1900 because
of their cruelty and their awful menace. But
1t will as long and as generally remember them
because Of the orgy Of mendacity to which they
gave opportunity and occasion.

however, susceptible of easy and logical ex-
PLANTATION. Great Britain formally annexed the
Orange Free State because that had been an IN
disputably Independent sovereign State. But
she does not annex the Transvaal because-ac-
cording to her consistent cOntentOn-t is
already annexed and always has been. To issue
such a proclamation in regard to the Transvaal
as she issued in the case of the Orange Free
State would be dangerously near self-stultif-
cation 1t would indicate that her claim of suZe-
rainty was insufficientIy grounded, and that she
has been waging war against and subjugating
State which was legally independent AS it is.
she is simply maintaining her old ground, to
wit. that the Transvaal is and has all along
been part of the British Empire and that in
this war she has not been cOnquering a foreign
State, but merely subduing domestic insuTrec-
ton.

master of capital try to use his power counter
to the ends of industry and commerce. by the
promotion of which he holds power and 1t will
be seen how much he is merely the director
of force and not force itself. No ten men, and
no thousand men. even though they managed
everything in the country. could "tie up the
country If they attempted it they would
simply be tossed aside, and they know 1t.
1t is easy for demagogues to pick out a few
leaders among men and say that everything is
subject to their caprice, but 1t is not true The
great leaders are the executives of great enter
prses but are subject to the law or those en-
terprises. Mayor McGuire's ten might manage
all the business of the land. including the Ice
enterprise now managed by the Tammany Ice
Trust, but, as the Van Wyck brothers and their
associates recently discovered in this very mat

cannot use it like a giant without making
trouble and inviting destruction.
