this remedy would appear to be sufficient,
at least for all their present purposes.
GO AHEAD, DOCTOR.

Whatever may finally come Of DR..
Ohage's action in proceeding to collect
city garbage through his department, it
is fairly certain that his action will re-
ceive the approval of the householders
of the city. They don't care fig for
action. They desire to have their gar
bage promptly removed. and they doubt
less feel that their wishes In that direc-
ton are more likely to find fulillment
through tho health department than
through the contracting scavengers.
Many will be disposed, perhaps, to
doubt whether the nuisance which the
doctor proceeds to abate Is just as pro-
nounced as it would undoubtedly be under
different conditions of temperature. AS
the head of the health department, the
only agency of local government really
concerned in the problem, DIR. Ohage APP
pears to us to be entirely right in his
action. The council has not acted. The
contracts for the past year have expired.
No provision is made for the protection
of the general health or for the doing of
the work pending the arrival Of the two
bodies of the council at an agreement.
No one is justified in assuming that such
an agreement will be arrived at within
any reasonable time, or, indeed, will be
arrived at at all.
DR.. Ohage simply recognizes the ex-
istence of public danger. more or less
serious, and proceeds under his construc-
ton OF his official duties to do that which
is now left undone, AMI would. not UNI
likely be Indefinitely left undone but for
his intervention.
OF course, we are certain to have
another delightful object lesson on the
worthlessness of the provisions of our
city charter In certain given directions,
and probably another siege Of It'll
cation. But we are well used to that
kind of thing, and nobody will take alarm
over the prospect
If Dr. 0hage ard his assistants are
willing to take the risk of having their
bills paid when presented, of course that
settles that aspect of the matter. They
will have an opportunity at any rate to
show what they can do. If the council
will only be obliging enough to leave
its differences unsettled long enough,
we can all be qualified to pass an opinion
on actual experience on the claims and
pretensions put forward by DR.. Ohage as
to his ability and willingness to do the
work to the public satisfaction.
Something has been said about the
health commissioner using his position in
the matter for the promotion. of the pe-
litical interests of Mayor Kiefer. The
G O e respectfully suggests that that
sort of thing Is pure fudge, unless we are
to believe that DR.. Ohage is at once a
very cheap sort of sanitarian and poll
tician. There is nothing in the doctors
official career 10 justify any such view,
and there is a good deal to establish it's
absUrdity.

wind Stacker Trust.

To the Editor of the Globe:
For eight years our farmers have had
to pay dearly for each and every wind
stacker that that has been built, strictly
because the wind stacker Is absolutely
under the control of a trust. This trust
has no factory, but collects heavy fees for
trade marks which are useless ia business
and thrives on the ignorance of the
farmer During all the past summer the
wind stacker trust sought to form a
trust of the leading threshing shops, but
hope to see the day and. soon, when the
ignorant farmer will not have to support
the "knay-bob'' schemer in luxury,
wind stackers or other goods.

THE LEGIsLATuRE-THAT,s ME.

One of the most remarkable features Of
way in which a few great men take
charge of affairs The head Of the ma
tional administration, the Hon. Marcus
Aurelius Hanna, has already disposed of
the succession to the Office made vacant
by the death of Vice President Hobart.
He declined to give his sanction recently,
as the Glo b e pointed out, to a New
York imperialist statesman named Wood
ruff becoming a candidate for the
place According to Mr.. Hanna, Wood
ruff was too young. Besides this dis
qualification, Senator Hanna further
pointed out to Mr.. Woodruff that he could
not have the place because it had already
been bestowed on Secretary Root The
action of the next national convention Of
the imperialists on the vice presidential
nomination it will be thus seen, is eff
fectually settled six months or so be-
fore the event.
Senator Hanna is not alone in the
plenary powers which he exercises. lie
can only act, of course, within the i'm.
mediate sphere of his influence and juris-
tional concerns. He is also, of course,
the master in Ohio. In purely internal
affairs the great men Of the several
states, of course are in control when
they do not interfere absolutely with ma
tional concerns. Plat is the master in
New York. Quay is the same in Penn
resents all the departments of the state
government. as is generally understood.
Quay has shown his authority In acts
alone. He is not loquacious man. His
present appearance in the senate shows
to what simple proportions the problem
of state government in Pennsylvania has
been reduced by him.
Mr.. Quay's friend, Mr. Flatt, breaks
out IN speech more frequently than his
great eompeer in Pennsylvania. He en-
lightens the public from time to time be-

the legislature will or will not do in a
given event. His latest declaration Of
this kind Is interesting. 1t relates to
the work of the Mazet committee. This
Mazeteers' lawyer, Mr. Moss. recently
incurred the great mans disfavor by
proposing to put him on the stand in
connection with the $50, 00,000 pro-
posed Ramapo steal. whereat, 1t will
be remembered. the Mazeteers adjourned
precipitate1y and without day, leaving
Lawyer Moss in the air
But Lawyer Moss did not propose to be
thus summarily disposed OF, and pro.
ceeded, without consulting Mr.. Plat, to
prepare the report of the committee to
the legislature. This proceeding the leg
islature, in the person of Mr.. Plat, OBJ
jects to, putting the objection in the fol-
lowing very plain terms:
at never met Mr.. Moss I should say,
though, that he is laboring under the
impression that, in making his report of
the Mazet investigation, he is speaking
for the committee He is mistaken if he
thinks the legislature will view it in any
such light Mr.. Moss is not the commit
tee AS I understand it, the legislature
expects the committee to report, not Mr..
Moss. 1t rs the committees report that

Nothing can be much simpler than this.
OF course, in these sentences, Mr.. Platt
seems to distinguish between himself
and the legislature. But this is the
mcrcst formally. which he adopts to
