The New Postmaster General.

If President Roosevelt keeps on as
he has begun, he will have fine as
sortment of corporation creatures in
his revised cabinet. The reappoint-
ment and confirmation of Attorney
General Knox was an offense to the
better element of the republican
party as well as to independent citi-
Zens. This has been followed by ap-
pointment of Henry c. Payne, who
is two-fold more n child of the trust
than is the attorney for the steel
trust, who is now attorney general.
For fifteen years he has been
corporation man." and an un-
scrupulous machine politician. 1t
was he who built up the Wisconsin
republican machine on the corpora
tion lines that have made it so Of
fensive to the people of that state
and have resulted in revolt of the
decent element" as represented Dy,
Gov. La Toilette. He was postmaste, j!
of Milwaukee from 1872 TO 1856, aIEd
in that position made himself strong
by the most practical kind of prac-
tical politics-the Platt-CrokeF kind.
which President Roosevelt peculiarly
abhors.
Mr.. Payne. curiOusly enough. wished
to be postmaster general when Presi-
dent AG-tfur reOrganized the Garfield
cabinet, and almost got the place.
He sought it again when President
Mckinley was first elected. He was
very conspicuous and active in that
campaign as a handler of the Hanna
"boodIe funds" But he had become
so offensive to northwestern repub-
licans that Mr.. Mckinley refused him.
In the sixteen years between these
two attempts he had been most active
as a Misunderstanding street railway
man, as Bell telephone monopoly
man. as Legislative lobbyist and as
one of the receivers of the Northern
Pacific. President Brayton Ives, of
that road. charged him and his asso-
ciates with endeavoring To throw" the
road to the Hill interests. After an
inscrutable tangle, the road finally
passed to Hill-the James j. Hill of
the Northern Securities company.
Mr.. Payne peculiarly represents
commercial politics and political
commerce. 1t would be difficult TO
conceive a man whose character and
conduct are more absolutely at war
with the ideals which Mr.. Roosevelt
Processes and which the people be-
lieve him TO cherish. 1t is compre-
hensible only upon the theory that
the president is constructing n politi-
cal machine of his own and desires to
have the postoffiee department in
the expert hands of his chief engi-
neer. The appointment shocks the
northwest. and as the people of the
rest of the country grasp its appar-
ent significant it will amaze and
gravely >disappoint them.

tical experience in twentieth century
warfare.-Chicago Tribune (reP.)
George Dewey is majority of the
Schley court of inquiry, and George
Dewey has not merely acquitted Ad-
miral Schley of the chief charges
brought against him by Sampson and
the ring i'm the navy department, but
says that Schley was in absolute
command at the battle of Santiago,
and els entitled TO such credit as is
due for the glorious victory which
resulted in the destruction of the
Spanish Chicago Journal,
(ind. rep.)
The Schley verdict is eminently
satisfactory TO the American people.
IL is n verdict of majority of two
backed by a navy department clique
of less than n dozen men graduated
at Annapolis and n minority of one
backed up by 76,OOO,00O, who not
only pay the taxes that support An
napolis. but the taxes that support
the government itself. 1t is n great
thing for n man TO have Il minority
verdict rendered in his case when
the minority takes in all worth count
ing in the entire United States.-St.

The schIex Verdict

The country will stand with Dewey
and Scheley, the two men who did the
big jobs at sea during the Spanish
war.-Indianapolis News, (rep.)
SchIey may well declare with one
of old: II would rather be right
with Plato Dewey than wrong with
all the rest of mankind. louisville
Times, (dem.)
There is no doubt Admiral Dewey
voices the popular verdict, but it is
equally true that the two rear ad-
mirals will have the support of the
navy department, which has all along
favored the claims of Rear Admiral
Sampson.-Pittsburg Post (dem.)
1t is impossible to doubt which one
of the reports the public and the fu-
ture historian will accept. Whether
or not the influence of a clique of
navy politicians at Washington has
played a part in the attack upon
Schley, the censure of the majority
of the court will be generally accept
ed as full measure of Justice to
that officer.-Chieago News, (rep)
The public knows Admiral Dewey
better than it does the two rear adj
mirals on the court. He commanded
a fleet. He won a decisive victory
over the enemy. When he gives
SchIey the credit due for the ''glor-
ious victory at Santiago he speaks
as an-expert. The retired rear adj
mirals speak from theory; Dewey

this business seems ''to be picking

stirred that the affair cannot be
dropped. These heroes have hosts of

it Likely they will drop this matter

that way. These manifestations of
