Philadelphia has reyolted against the

zens Of all shades OF political opinion.
voiced the sentiment of the people who are
not bound to the machine by ties of self
interest and corruption. 1t nominated for
district attorney a man who has proved
his honesty and efficiency in office. and
who. presumably because of these very
qualities. has just been rejected by the
regular republican machine. The fight Of
the summer and fall will center upon this
nomination. but it Will affect brsader inter-
tsts than the success or failure of a par
tieuIar candidate. 1t will strike at the
very foundations of the corrupt admins
tration which has Philadelphia in it's
power. II will test the force of decent
public spirit in the great city.
PhiIadelphia's city government has of
late years become reproach to American
citizenship. disgrace to the system of
popular self-government. a cancer on the
body polite. New York and Chicago have
been no worse in their demonstrations of
corruption and civic complacency. Whether
called by the name republican or demo-
crat the principle in these corrupt mu-
nicipal combinations has been the same,
to capture the primaries and the election
machinery. to grab the offices. to write the
laws. To steal the public utilities for pri-
vate profit, and finally, having attained the
height Of corrupt power by these means, to
defy decent public sentiment.
Wherever this process has succeeded the
fundamental concept of American govern
ment has been weakened. The whole body
Of the nation is threatened with blood
poisoning from these local sores Thus
thr. sickness of Philadelphia, New York and
Chicago becomes the concern of the whole
people. and every honest American must
devOutly hope for the success of any move
ment directed at the cure of the evils in
these centers of disease. Be It Quayism
or Crokerism or Harrisonism, the end, il
unchecked. must be the same, the perver-
sion of the rights of the public. the en-
richment of ringsters at the expense of the
people. the debauching OF the public con-
science. the encouragement of vice and
crime for profit eliminating In disaster to
our system of self-government-
Philadelphia Is doing now what New
York has tried to do. 1t seeks to unite the
decent voters in a practical assault upon
the machine 1t has promising candi-
date and it presents an unanswerable in
dictment against the ring In power. Fran
chises worth millions have been given
away to favorites of the gang. A sincere
private offer for purchase on the basis OF
an adequate compensation to the city has
been spurned. Men whom the ring fears
have been swept from the path. Dishon-
esty. corruption. mendacity. defiance of
decency can all be branded across the
brOws Of the men whom the machine has
used for It's ends. The revolt is headed
by excellent leaders. and the movement Is
non-poltical. II ever there was a chance
for the city to administer a crushing re-
buke to its faithless servants and to in
spire its hitherto nstless residents with a
sense of their duty and power that chance
now awaits Philadelphia,s acceptance.

contain. Instructions for his guidance are
to be obtained from the pubic authorities
and 1t will be found that with little trouble
an effective barrier can be raised between
the household and this source of danger.
When man buys horse he usually in
qures carefully into it's pedigree and it's
personal history. He tests it's wind and
hoofs. examines its mouth. puts it through
its PAGES and finally weighs all the evil
dence OF soundness to the end of de-
cisfon. Practically no lives depend upon
his selection. for it is assumed that the
man buys safe animal. His scrutiny is
designed primarily to disclose the CONNER
C>al value of his purchase. Yet. as a rule.
he expends no such care in the purchase of
food supplies which are known as possible
disease carriers. For instance. he rarely
knows anything of the physical condition
of the cows from which his milk dealer
draws his supply. He has not the slightest
idea of the location of the dairy farm
More often than not he buys from a large
supply company, which receives portions
from many dairies and mikes them indis-
crminately. the good with the bad. the
carefully produced with that from care
lessly managed places.
Some day perhaps the laws on the sub
ject of the milk supply will require. that the
products of each dairy be kept separate in
the distribution and that each COW owner
be required to present a periodical certifi-
cate of condition In order to continue
selling to the central distributors. They
may also require the establishment of
stations between the dairyman and
the wholesaler and between the wholesaler
and the retailer at which every consign-
nent of milk may be tested for all the
forms and degrees of contamination and
adulteration. Then the responsibility which
now rests heavily upon the individual con-
sumner to test and perhaps to sterlize the
milk he buys will be largely if not wholly

Mr. German In he Field

Mr.. German Is now formally in the field
as a candidate to succeed Mr.. Wellington
in the United States Senate The an
nouncement was made last night at a din
ner given in his honor, and for the purpose
of bringing him forward. He did not make
the announcement himself. 1t was made
for him by a number of his friends who
spoke warmly In his praise under the in
spiration of his presence and smiling ap-
proval. The affair passed off pleasantly
The company included many prominent
democrats of the state though there were
some men strong in party affairs who were
absent. Mr.. German having divided the
democracy of Maryland seems unable to
unite it again.
Still. among those who put party above
ALL and may be relied upon to support
anything and anybody duly labeled. Mr..
German is easily first In the Maryland or
ganization. He Is a man of ability and OF
large political experience. This announce
ment therefore was In a sense superfuous,
1t conveys to the public nothing that the
public did not already know. Mr.. Cor
man. whose health was at one time slightly
shaken. Is now in vigor again. and natu-
rally he turns to the scenes Of other days.
He wants to resume business at the old
stand. The party machinery Is in his
hands. and in putting 1t into action he
obeys only very human quality In provid-
ing that his own rake-ofr OF what may be
won by 1t shall be liberal. Democratic
success in November therefore will mean
the senatorship for Mr.. German. and what
remains for the organization.
What will remain? Considerable. The
return of Mr.. German to power will mean
the revival of all for which he stands in
the affairs Of the state. It will likewise
mean the rehabilitation of all who are
identified with Mr.. Germans influence and
fortunes. Mr.. Rasn, for an instance.
would not tarry in the background for
very long. but would come to the front
again. and be man Of power again.
backed by Mr. Germans support. in the
affairs of the city Of Baltimore. Mr.. Cor
man has some unselfish supporters, but in
the main his lieutenants, as do those Of
other leaders of his stamp. put close
listed. hard-headed value on their services.
and In case of success ask for a prompt
accounting 50 that, when he wins, Mr..
German draws after him for a share of the
booty all who have assisted in securing It.
In determining therefore whether they
want Mr.. German IT. the Senate again the
people of Maryland will at the same time
determine whether they want In other In
fluential places within their gift the men
who are in MIR. Gorman's confidence. and
who aspirants, as he is, for political
powers. For inevitably. there must go
with Mr.. German, up or down, those who
are known as Gormanites. and that which
Is known as GOrmanism.

Danger In Fireworks,
From the Boston Advertiser.

The first serious explosion this year from
the ignition Of stored fireworks has been
reported from Paterson, N. ]. 1t was GER
tainly serious enough. There is no good
reason to hope. however, that it will be the
only one of the kind reported before July
5. The law places certain restrictions upon
dealers in fireworks. Sometimes these re-
strictions are needed; but perhaps more
often they are violated. 1t might be good
idea. In city like Boston. to restrict the
number of licenses closely enough so that
In every store Of this city, where fireworks
are sold. some sort of police inspection
could be maintained. The story Of the
Paterson horror might be duplicated in
Boston at almost any time during the few
weeks ending July 4.

Mail should BE Delivered

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
If the United States government is to
block the prompt delivery of the mails by
refusing to allow letter carriers who work
four or five hours some days to work a
minute over eight hours other days, then
1t should provide enough carriers to do the
work in the prescribed hours. The public
business should not be at the mercy of
such cheap demagogy as this.
