few months ago some one was wanted to go
to Cuba to supersede Postal Director Rathbone

said the president.
"Wen, Bristow comes from Kansas lie Is

ticiSm of Mr.. Pccks which may have been cur.
rent elsewhere, but which had not been told
in this city until the able address OF Mr.. Peck
at Chicago, reminded some of his friends of it,
As the story goes Mr.. Peck has been a lifelong
intimate friend of Richard Oney, secretary oi
state under Cleveland. When Mr.. Peck visited
in Washington to appear before the Supreme
court, as he often did. he always called upon
Olney and was often entertained by the seCre-
tary of state 1t was in the last part of
Clcvcland's administration, only a few weeks
before Clevclands term expired, in 1897. Mr..
Peck dining with the secretary of state and
he said to him when they were alone: "Dick.
one thing has been peculiarly impressed upon me
lately, and especially since ! have come to
Washington. l don't know whether I ought to
tell you not'
Oncy, who knew his friends capacity for wit
and humor, mad who perceived that some
humorous suggestion was in his mind, urged Peck
to have modesty but to out with his thought.
"Wcll Dick, it is this" said Mr.. Peck.
"Cleveland's administration went in with very
little opposition here Mr. Peck looked quiz.
zically at the secretary Of state, who nodded
his mead, and then Mr. Peck added, "and it is
going out with no opposition at ALL"

Il closed at last evenings
hearing before Alderman
Fuller eXcitcs mingled pity and indig-
nation. For ex-Mayor Bailey, broken
in purse, health and reputation, there
will be no demand for severity. His
case calls rather for charity. He was
weak. he was tempted, and he fell.
Punishment has already overtaken him.
For his tcmpters; for the men in and

must be an accounting without let up.
The Tribune supported the ten-year
street repair contract. 1t believed and
believes that the principle behind that
contract was sound; that it. offered the
only practical assurance of continuous
and effective street repairs. 1t regarded
the outcry against the Barber company
as having been inspired by disappoint-
ed competitors.
But if the particular contract entered
into for the repair of our asphalted
streets was secured by corruption and
fraud, it should be smashed into smith
Greens and new one constructed at a
fair price and with clean hands.
This city must be purged of the bood-

The courts of New Jersey have lust
imposed sentences upon another lot
of ticket scalpers. The railroad ticket
broker, like the dealer in oleomargar-
Inc, conducts business In way that
makes conviction difficult in cases
where law is violated, and he Is also
imbued with the Idea that acts against
or regulating his traffic are infringe
ments upon personal liberty. Prompt
measures, like those adopted in New
Jersey, will do much to suppress the
business, which is monopolized at this
day principally by swindlers.

1T is not a theory that Mr. Bryan
rency If he could. It Is a certainty,
and all of the consequences-that Is,
disaster and ruin-are known. AS to
the consequences of what certain gen.
tlemen see fit to call imperialism, they
are theories, pure and simple. 1t will
take the bread out of no ones mouth
the shirt off no ones back. But If
Mr.. Bryan be elected, his election
alone-even though he has to wait for
a congress to carry out his will-Will
have all the dlreful consequences of
panic. If there be those who do not
believe this, they have only to turn
back to the summer Of 1896 to see
what may result from a simple fear
that our standard of value Is to be
disturbed. These anti-imperialistic
gentlemen are quite willing to pay
the price of a panic for their theory.
Some of us, however, are like Bis
marck, and are willing to sell our
theories extraordinarily cheap Above
ALL we are not willing voluntarily to
run the risk of drowning in order to
escape the consequences of a pre-
dicted shower. 1t will be time enough
to check Imperialism when 1t makes
some sign of vitality. Meanwhile It is
net necessary to commit financial sui
eide throughout fear of it, The fact
is that this issue of Imperialism Is the
happy hunting ground of the political
ly lonesome, who shudder at the Inn
mitiGabiity of their predicament, and
seek almost any ground for revising
their apostasy of four years ago.

settled privately when great public interests
arc involved But when the conditions are SUCH
that the interest Of the public is directly and
largely concerned. the public through its prop
crly constituted officials should have the power,
in its own interest, to intervene and TO deter

10 be dependent for its fuel on the chances OF
a private war wagcd, for no one knows how
long q time, between the mne.owncr and the
minc.workcr. We do not allow individuals IL
settle their controversies by duel; much less
ought we to allow great bodies Of men to settle
their disputes by conflict which entails priva'
tinn and suffering on the entire community.
The state ought TO provide by law compulsory
arbitration in all cases in which the community
has direct and considerable interest in the
peaceful adjustment OF a labor controversy. II
ought to require the corporations TO submit TO
a court constituted for that purpose any com
plants presented by behalf Of its mcn
and it ought to forbid men from combining to
cease work in order TO enforce their demands
in cases in which such legal redress Of wrongs
is provided

&.IPoRTs TO THE ORIENT,

August exports to Asia and Oceania show a
falling off Of nearly S3,o0O,0O as compared with
August Of last year. There are two reasons for
this: First, the war in China; second the re.
fusal Of exporters the Pacific coast to fur.
nsh statements OF the value of their exports to
the Hawaiian Islands, which they claim are no
longer foreign territory and that therefore the
bureau of statistics has no authority to require
a statement of the quantity and value of mer.
chandse passing between those islands and the
United States. The reduction in exports to China
is from 81 392 2O5 in August, 1899, to 1910 800 in
August 1900 due, Of course, to the existence of
hostilities in that country. The apparent re.
duction in exports to Hawaii is from 81, ,OS7 42l
in August, 1899, to nothing in 1900, though it
is probable that II the facts were known the ex.
ports TO he Hawaiian Islands in August, 1900,
would show a much larger sum than in August,
1899.

been called by the central committee
and no primaries were held at all.

all is not apparent. but it is .rumored
that prospective candidates fer county
Offices saw breakers ahead this fall
unless something was done. Our local

to the fact that2it was considered by
many that the convention was un-
