What's the DiRerencef

No matter how much you endeavor
To study the moods of the throng,
You will find that your efforts, forever
With many are sure to go wrong.
You can't expect plaudits to thunder
From all Of the people at once;
For some will declare you're a wonder
And others will say you're Ounce.
When the carpers at last have you worried
And lead you to alter your gait,
You presently find you have hurried
Into quite similar fate.
And the world will as usual rate you
Part hero and likewise part fraud;
The men who applauded will hate you
And the men who once kicked will ap-
plaud.

Texas Democrats and Neuro..

This bit of news from Austin, Tex Is of
wider interest than pertains simply to the
political affairs OF that state:
THE action OF President Roosevelt in dis
regarding the recommendations of the re-
publican organization In Texas, in the an
poin1ment of George w. Borroughs as post
master at Fort Worth, has caused a stir
among the leaders OF the republican party
In this state. Most OF the federal appoint
ments in Texas were made upon the recon-
mendation OF r. b. Hawiey, former con-
gresham and present member OF the ma
tionaI committee.
"Hawley and State Chairman Cecil Lyon
have been turned down in the Fort Worth
postmaster appointment and the men who
occupy the other federal places in this state
feel insecure. Several negro republicans
have come to the front as applicants for
appointment by President Roosevelt to I'M
portant federal Offices In Texas and they

Corporation. and city Governments.

Shortly before the mayoralty election In
New York report spread that the inf1u-
ence Of the Metropolitan Railway Company.
which controls all of the surface roads in
Manhattan. was being thrown solidly in
favor Of Tammany. The general under
standing was that this corporation, with
others Of great size and power, was con-
tributing heavily to the Tammany war
chest, and 1t was even directly charged
that the word had passed from the street
railway headquarters to the men for the
latter to vote for Shepard and against Jer-
ONE. OF course these assertions were de-
MED. but the impression remained distinct
In the public mind that the corporations
expected a reward from Tammany for
their campaign help which they did not
hope to get from a reform administration
The election was scarcely decided before
the stock of the Metropolitan company be-
gan to rise. When asked for an explana-
tton the president of the company declares
that this rise is due to the feeling Of the
stockholders that they will receive fair
treatment now that Tammany Is crushed
He points to certain franchises for side
connections for the system which have
been held up for months by the Tammany
board of aldermen, for reasons which are
not hard to seek. Now, he thinks, the
street railways and other corporations will
be able to deal with the city on business
basis and not be required to pay heavily
for every favor or legitimate grant
There are other explanations in the air
to be sure. such as an impending CONSOLE
dalton OF the traction interests Of Manhat-
tan and Brooklyn. but this one suffices to
suggest that perhaps the managers Of the
public corporations are seeing their inter-
ests in clearer light than heretofore
Why should any honestly managed cor
poration not prefer an honest city govern
ment to one honeycombed with corruption!
Why should not its books show a larger
profit at the end of the year under a decent
administration, which asks for no rake-ofr
than under one which expects and gets a
bride for every grant or extension7

well-known democrats indorsing negroes
for federal Office in the sotfth. aftef all that
has been said In denunciation of such ap-
pointments, and so soon after the Booker
Washington dinner episode? Are these men
indulging in malicious Joke at the expense
of the negro and the President? Is it their
object to fire the ambition Of the one, and
create embarrassments for the other? And
is that legitimate subject for humor? It
does not appear so upon it's face. People.
it is true, are exceedingly good-natured
about signing petitions. but to sign a petit
ton for the express purpose. and in the
hope, of injuring a person. even the hum
blest person, would be most discreditable
performance.
Or are these men in earnest? Can it be
that, despite the robust indignation that
finds expression in the southern press and
on the southern stump whenever a negro is
mentioned for Office, there are southern
democrats who can control their feelings
when they find a man of color holding a
federal commission, and even find it in
their hearts and compatible with their pride
to help him to such distinction?
Some months ago, when a tragic episode
in one of the southern states gave impor-
lance to this subject, several communica-
lions written from the south to eastern
newspapers disclosed the hollowness and
hypocrisy of a good deal of the bitter clat-
ter that certain grade of southern poll
t1cian Is famous for in connection with the
negro and office-holding. This type Of man
will rail IN his newspaper or in his stump
ing tours about the insults that are offered
to his people Ia such appointments, and yet
secretly scheme when such an appointment
is made in his own locality for securing a
few subordinate places, cierkships and the
like, for needy white relatives. or political
strikers. 1t was shown, moreover, that there
are now serving in such capacities under
negro federal officials in the south white
men of excellent social connection. whose
condition in life made 1t necessary for them
to seek whatever employment they could
get. And they are serving without a sense
of personal humiliation, and without any
loss of standing among their democratic
relatives and friends, through whose as
sistance their places were obtained.
Are these Texas democrats "on"? Are
they maneuverfng for pap for themselves
or their friends IN the only way which
seems now to be open? If they are, let us
hope that they may fail in their endeavors.

No White House for watterson.

In truth, the White House is no place to
live In. AT best it is but a splendid misery.
Redolent Of tragic memories, it Is a verita-
BILE haunted house. Long. long ago it
should have been converted into an admin
lstrative office, and a dwelling erected
somewhere else for the use of the Presi-
dent and his family. One can scarcely
think of 1t without seeing ghosts. They
stalk through it's darkened corridors by
night. In the monday sun they hide among
its hooks and corners, the place subduing
and the spirit daunting. Men grow old in

An inquisitive investigator working IN
laboratory has discovered that decaying
meat gives forth light, and he thinks that
he has come upon a great find in nature.
He has been able to photograph objects
with the illumination afforded by decrepit
porterhouse steak. There is no reason for
the gas and electric light companies as yet
to fear that their business Is endangered by
this new illuminant. There are drawbacks
in the utilization Of decomposing meat In
close proximity which will undoubtedly
save their dividends for some time to come.

The Carnation.

The national flower controversy is likely
to be revived. Some years ago it was APP
parently settled, after a long struggle be-
tween the daisy, the rose and the golden
rod, in favor of the iast-named. But there
was much dissent from this decision, which
lacked formal authority, and today the
question is practically as open as ever

From the Chicago Record Herald,

Those protectionists who place the Ding
ley bill by the side of the Ten Command
ments have hattered themselves that the
republican majorities in the late elections
were an Endorsement of their theology.
Such an Interpretation of the meaning Of
the vote was very easy, simple and plaus-
ible, but the majorities were the result of
complex causes, and they are wholly mis-
leading If they be construed as testimony
for the inviolability of the law.
