judges of the various higher courts of the

greater or less service to the trust in its

the people. These holdings are of varying
values, but are all comparatively heavy
There is no record of how much the stock
cost these influential personages.
The New York law prohibits the holding

plain that the New York exposure is of d.

conscience, prevents reforms save by ex-

that it was still possible for fusion to carry
the day as against an explicit Endorsement
of the administration such the republic

Nor should il be forgotten that Mr.. Bryan
visited the state in person and made num-
Ter of speeches. 1t is likewise to be re-
mernhered that large crowds flocked to hear
HIM and that the same enthusiasm which
he manages TO stir up wherever he goes
was manifested there. The people came and
listened and applauded. and then numbers
of them when election day rolled around

Such a provision would merely record

day evoked no adverse comment upon the
principle of the bridge construction. al

Isolated Greatneas,


The man who never makes mistakes.
He is the creature who awakes
The soul to scorn, the brow to frown
With wrath no charity can drown.
Men sound his praise with zeal intense
And bid US heed his excellence.
But none the less. when he comes rount
Discomfort seems to reign profound.
For how can he. so coldy WISE
Extend a hand and sympathize
With simple. struggling. mortal men.
Who rise and fall and rise again?
How can his heart responsive beat
To that remorseful mood complete
OF those who feel they cannot be,
Strive though they may. as good as he?
He knows just how to win the strife.
He knows all things in human life
Save to forgive the struggling men
Who grope and stumble now and then.
I'd rather be a dull machine
And clink and clank In a routine
OF duty until something breaks
Than he who never makes mistakes.

Garbage Reduction.

It is gratifying to progressive Washing

now that the District may be given an up
to-date garbage disposal service. The Com
missoners are reported as favorably in
clined toward the lowest bidders for this
work. company now operating in Detroit.
Columbus, Indianapolis and other cities a
process of reduction which is described as
thorough and inoffensive. The experience
of this concern elsewhere is assurance that
Washington runs practically no risk of be-
ing experimental with again as 1t has from
time to time in the past. The Star has
always advocated the reduction system as
insuring thorough collection and cheap
maintenance. Indeed, the nature of the
reduction process insures economy both to
the city and to the contractor. The for
mer is impelled by every consideration Of
cleanliness and often as in this case, by
the offer of bonus, to yield a large col
lection of refuse to the contractor. who is
in turn inspired by the hope of extra profits
to scour the city for the last pound Of
material for his machinery to transform
into commercial commodity. In this case
all possible objection to the reduction pro-
cess is removed by the offer of the bidder
to erect plant outside of the District, so
that there is prospect that, in the event
of the acceptance of this proposal. the au-
thorities will be plagued by perpetual con-
troversies with citizens over the whole
someness of the process.
The Commissioners. indeed. are to be con-
graduated upon meeting such an opportu-
nifty to solve in satisfactory manner one of
the standing problems of municipal house
keeping.
