CRIMINAL POLITICAL METHODS.
Gan Administration sunk 70 the Lowest
Depths of Degradatiou.''
h the PhIIsdeInhIa Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Those who want TO pursue a criminal
business in this city can do so with the
consent of Mayor Ashbridges police II
they will consent to support Mayor Ash
BRIDGES candidates for nomination at the
coming primaries. At the same time no
one In honest business is safe from the
annoyance OF a police organization en-
plOyed in blackmail and coercion.
The story told by barber in one of the
wards Of the Fifth Senatorial district re-
veals a system of criminal politics which
has become common under the present ad-
Elinistration. The barber in question was
running some gambling slot machines in
his place of business and supporting Henry
F. Walton for Senator IL was not un-
lawful for him TO support Walton. but it
was unlawful to run the gambling ma
chimes. The police took a different view
of the matter, however. They regarded
IL as the greater crime that he should
favor Walton's nomination, and through
Police Ssrgt Magee he was informed that
he would be arrested for maintaining his
gambling devices unless he abandoned
Walton and turned in fer the mayors
candidate for Senator The blackmail
game succeeded. The barber is now for
anu EiS
are still running.
What right have the police OF this city
to thus extend immunity To violators of
the law for a consideration? We have
had great many disreputable and Grim
inal practices in the politics of PhiladeI-
phla. but nothing quite so bad as this H.
lUstrates. II is not the only instance OF its
kind. All over the city honest men IN
business are being annoyed and criminal
characters are gwen immunity to comply
with the purposes Of disreputable con-
spiracy to contrO! nominations which the
people are entitled TO make by their own
free action. Blackmail and coercion are
the familiar methods OF the conspirators.
There can be no compromise with such
crimes. The honest people OF PhiladeI-
phia win protect themselves and save the
city from the disgrace and shame attempt
ed TO be forced upon ii by an administra-
ton sunk TO the lowest depths OF degrade
ton. The public money cannot be taken
to support a police organization to be
Used for criminal purposes, as the police
of Philadelphia are now being used. No
com nunity could tolerate such things
without discrediting itself in the view OF
all. and this community will not toler-

them a majority Of the electoral college
VIII assgredly give them majority Of the
next House Of Representatives. Il has
also been shown by induoitable figures
that majority for Bryan In the electoral
college Il hardly possible without carrying
with It enough legislatures to give the
Democrats and PcDulists a majority IN
the next Senate"
1t II true that the election Of Bryan
would probably carry with 1t a Demo-
cratic House. As 20 the Senate, that con-
tingeney Il simply possible, but possibii-
ity extremely remote. A Democratic Con-
gress and an anti-gold Congress are. how
ever. two different things. Neither the
next House nor the next Senate will have
free coinage majority. And any attempt
20 tamper with the currency during the
first two years Of a Bryan Presidency
would bring in an overwhelmingly RepuD-
llcan House in the middle Of the term. In
the last forty-two years the Democratic
party has had control Of legislation for
one Congress. or two years, only. During
that brief period II split itself into hostile
factions and brought in the Republicans
in issi In two Congressional elections
since that of 1894 the Democrats have
been defeated. They made gains In 1888.
but they we're all secured by giving free
coinage the cold shoulder Wherever they
stood up 10 ls to they suffered losses. In
face Of this record what reason is there
for apprehension as 70 the stability OF the
gold standard? Free coinage Is as dead ss
free trade. and neither Of them has
chance OF resurrection.

measure OF the south's advantage In tie
wage question. Foed ss more costly and
a greater amount OF it Is required In a
cold than I'm a warm climate. The TTod-
ucts Of the farm and garden in the South
are far less costly than in chilly. rncly,
sterile New England IL follows. there
fore. that II wages we're equal in dollars
and cents. they wosls be decidedly un-
equal in their purchasing power.
The absolute certainty that the cotton
manufacturing industry must soonar or
later be eentered in the eo,ton-prodaciag
States is naturally an unpleasant fact for
our Boston contemporary's ecntesupla-
ton. It Is q condition that pslliates some
little evaporation. and IL might call for
sympathy IL that emotion were not re-
pressed and repelled by exhibitions of
mean malice. The treatment Of negroes
In the South" Is much better. all things
considered. than their treatment in the
North. Race prejudice Is more viraieat IN
any Northern State than in any part OF
the South In view Of recent outbreaks
Of mob violence in New York, Ohio. and
Illinois. one would imagine that a discreet
Northern newspaper would pipe softly On
that topic. II Is a fact that I'm proportion
10 the number OF black people In the
North ss compared with that element in
the South. there has. in the past three
years, been more of the mob spirit and
its results In the former than In the lat
ter. And when II comes to malicious and
diabolIcal destruction OF property, the
Northern anu-negro mob outdoes its
Southern contemporary a thousand TO one.

take Sugar, for Example,"

Encouraged by Mr.. 0lney's vigorous de-
nunciation Of the Dingley tariff. New
England free-trade newspaper declares
that the tariff is the club with which the
Democrats propose to smash the trusts.
They propose to put on the free list every
article controlled by monopoly under
the protection of the Republican tariff. 4"
BY way OF illustration our free-trade con-
temporary goes on TO take sugar. for
example," and thereon remarks that 'it
is the Dingley 'differentiaf of 5-s of a
cent that enables the sugar trust to COM
pei every housewife in America to pay Z
cents pound for sugar to-day"
No judicious Democrat, and especially
no discreet .-iend of Mr.. Olney, would
take sugar. for example" 1t Is an unde-
niable fact that both the Democratic and
Republican parties have, through their
campaign .Cmmittees, had dealings with
the suga. trust. The Post is entirely dis
inclined TO shield the Republican party
from deserved censure for its intentional
failure to deal with protected monopolies
during the last session of Congress. This
newspaper, as consistent friend of pro-
lection, urged upon the Republican lead
ers IN Congress the duty Of reducing the
height of the tariff walls behind which
monopolistie combines were sheltered.
But nothing was done nothing was at
tempted. Out Of that fact a deal Of Demo-
cratic capital might have been made IL
the Democratic record as to trusts had
been less open to assault.
But the Dingley tariff is no more favor
able to sugar than was the Wilson-Gor-
man act. 1t is a fact which will not be de-
MED that the Cleveland managers in 1902
following Republican example, asked
and received a large cash contribution
from that trust. 1t is fact of record that
Mr.. Cleveland's Secretary of the Treas
Try sent to the Senate a sugar schedule
to go into the pending tariff bill 1t is a
fact of history that, under that schedule,
the sugar trust experienced great pros
perity. Mr.. Olney was a member of that
Cleveland administration which, having
come In on a free-trade platform, put
that sugar trust section into the highly
protective tariff with which a Democratic
Congress fulfilled the free-trade demand
Of the platform on which II was elected.
The Post is by no means certain that
this country wants free trade in sugar.
but 1t is quite sure that no Democrats
organ can afford, in attacking the Ding
ley tariff. to take sugar, for example"

The State OF Massachusetts enacted in

who fails to meet any OF the provisions
OF the law, including sworn statement
OF the expenses incurred by him in con-
reetion with promoting or opposing legis
lation, is subject 10 a similar fine.
The testimony OF disinterested critics,
who are in a position TO watch the work
ing of the Massachusetts, law, Is that II
has operated in the interest of clean legis-
lstion. and that It has diminished the
number and raised the grade of men con-
stituting the third house" It's chief
fault, according to the same authority, s
that it does not reach far enough: for IL
provides no initiative on tEe part of the
States officers to call to account persons
who are suspected OF Illicit dabbling in
legislation from the outside and il Is also
open to evasion in various ways. The
puzzle is how TO make the law more ef-
feetive without infringing upon the rights
of the public. Still no one can deny that
ii gives reputable men an opportunity 10
engage in a useful pursuit which many
now avoid for fear of inferentially smireh-
ing their good names. The man who, In
defiance of such a law. plies his trade ~
lobbyist without registration, brands
himself as at least potential rascal, Tne
statute may not furnish the police author
ity with the means OF furnishing him: but
he cannot escape the moral piilory. and
his disgrace will be shared by every leg
islator who is seen in his company.
The Washington weekly post., 1900-09-11

We fear the valued Atlanta constitu-
tion is altogether too precipitate in ar
riying at the hysteria style of campaign
ing. Its mode of disputation is calculat-
ed to whoop things up rather than to
diffuse logic and produce conviction. tt e
Constitution is at present much worked
up ever the attempt of an Ohio mob,
and in its zeal to make capital entirely
overlooks the fact that the officers of the
law triumphed in the end. and that the
persons who participated in the lawless-
ness have been arrested and are 10 be pros
ecuted. Furthermore. the Constitution
misses fire woefuliy when IL attempts TO
compare the trial of ex-Secretary Powers,
Of Kentucky, with that OF the Ohio negro
who caused the trouble at Akron. The
affair at Akron was bad enough. but the
Constitution rather spoils its special
branch OF the lynehing problem when 1t
permits itself 10 drop into the dangerous
business of making comparisons.

A plseruntied New England contempo.


The Boston Advertiser SAYS that a cor-
respondent of that paper, in ..alluding n
the lynehings in the South" asks .hou,
these things can affect the wages of tha
poor whites" in the Southern cotton mills
The Advertiser thinks the answer Is easy
and proceeds to reply TO its correspondent
in manner that is easier than rolling on
a log. IL asserts-and we admit The cor
rectness OF the proposition-tha wages
in one industry are, 10 a greater or less
extent. controlled by the general average
in all industries. To illustrate, the Advar-
tiser submits that If man can get but q
a day In another trade. he Is generally
glad 10 get SIS in a mill; If he can earn
but 50 cents at any other work, he will be
eager 10 get IS cents in mill Thus the
lew scale OF wages among the negroes
works for a low scale among the Moor
whites. And then our Boston contempor-
airy. with equal disregard OF grammar and
truth. blurts out the declaration that
''the treatment Of the negroes in the
South. as little better than a slave. has
tended to keep them in condition where
their earning power Is too low; and in
consequence wages generally In the South
are lower than they are In the North"
We do not know how much lower wages
are in the cotton States than in the Sec
ton on which the country chiefly de-
pends for It's ice; bat We do know that
there ought 70 be considerable differ
ence in favor CT the Southern employer.
The cost Of living is much greater in New
England than in the South. IL costs more
for shelter and fuel and elothing-vcry
much more-in a severely cold than in a
warmer climate. In these three items
there is a difference OF several hundred
dollars a year In the expense OF MAIN
