goes without saying that Mr.. Payne is
perfectly willing to do what is expected of
him. but he is so lacking in resource and
finesse that he could not be entrusted with
the vitality important matters that will
have to be put through the next Congress
by the Ways and Means Committee. II
Mr.. Mckinley is reelected and the Re
p1blicans also carry the House, it is safe
to predict that somebody-maybe the Hon.
John Dalzell of Pennsylvania-will over
slaw the dull and slow-moying Payne on
Ways and Means. This would be such an
unusual occurrence as to arouse criticism
that might develop some huge scandals.
Therefore, the Administration has con-
cluded that it will be safer all around to
Keep Mr.. Payne out of the next House,
and unless he is made the Republican
nominee for GovernSr of New York there
will be no way to accomplish this object.
OF course If he Is nominated for Governor
the Administration will do everything in
its power to have him elected, as the in
teTests which want to remove him from
Congress at this juncture could depend
upon using him to advantage at Albany.
Mr.. Payne is entirely pliable. All that IS
the matter with him is that he isn't
shrewd enough. He abundantly showed
that by the bungling manner in which he
handled the OxnardiZed Porto Rican bill.
1t was mainly due to his awkwardness that
that game was given away.

There is part of the Republican party's weak
armor that Is perhaps weak as its attitude on
these oppressive combinations Of capital. The

the taste or fancy Of the readers or hearers Sew
cTal Of the States, also, which held their con-
vontions late last year or in the early part of the
present year, spoke concerning the trusts in way

AS far as the criminal branch Of the

for the partners of former Captain Carter.
The testimony Of his father-in-law the
millionaire expressman. Westcott. shows
that Carter did not get his wealth from
his wife's family. He obtained It in some
other way, and whatever the source. his
eonfederates naturally derived their riches
from the same. So the Government may
be able to punish some of the conspirators.
