course In not interfering. Conclusive proofs

his filthy and malignant personality into uni
yeTsal observation while the sole and respon-
sible Commissioner has contented himself with
feeble chatter about what he might, could.
would or should do at some future time. AS
the Governor says the situation is now so clear
that there can be no mistake about it.
WHY then. should not the Governor remove
Murphy? He himself assigns the reason as fol
lows: The people have not yet had a chance
ito exercise their power of removal under the
new law, and until they refuse to act should

remedy in their own hands and can use 1t in

there be a failure to administer the necessary

of a decent government there is nothing TO
hinder them from getting it. If they are worthy
only of that which they have, the fact might
as well be declared to the world. The Governor

THE END-AND AFTER.

"AIl is over and done" The nation and the
world have paid their unexampled tribute to
Mckinley. The book of the history OF his mortal
career is closed, and his name is henceforth In
scribed only among the immortals. 1t is the end.
Yet equally is 1t the beginning. Every day, said
Carlyle is the confux of two eternities Such
is the consolation and the inspiration Of time.
And as time itself continually proceeds, never
receding for even a single moment, It is well
that those who dwell within its compass should
similarly look forward rather than backward,
TO the future rather than TO the past The past
is secure the future is in our keeping for our
own making. Nor is the most earnest forward
looking incompatible with an equally earnest
remembrance OF the past Men can best cherish
the past by carrying all that was good in 1t
forward with them into the future, and the
future, made up Of continuously succeeding
present days, will best be improved by applying
TO it the experience and the wisdom Of the past.
What then, of the future for the living men
and women of the nation? We have been eulo-
gizing McKinley's virtues and the wisdom of
his policies. Do we mean sincerely to emulate
those virtues and to maintain those policies? II
So II will be well. II not, our euloges will have
been nothing but hollow mockery We have
been condemning the laxity and fatuous toler
ance which have been manifested toward the
treason of anarchical plotters. Are we going to
content ourselves with such condemnat ton and
let the matter drop, and let the foes of law and
order continue their evil work? If so, we shall
stand self-convicted participants in their crimes.
We have been reading each other moral homlies
on the wickedness OF speaking evil OF digni-
taries and the need Of moderation In our utter
ances concerning public men. Are we from this
day forward going to practise such moderation,
f1,n old oil
throwing to be resumed tomorrow and kept up
until they again culminate in national trag-
edyI IL the latter all our fine words will but
have built pillory for ourselves to he displayed
upon In self-Imposed ignominy.
These are tho questions which arise with
searching force from That tomb ut Canton and
from every scene of commemoration and of
mourning throughout the land. What OF the
future: IL II to ba repetition Of the past with
all Its folles and sins, or is IT to be made better
and purer and kindlier? That is the rist of the

.uERICAN GOODS AND GERMAN TARIFFS

aUERIC4N GOODS AND GERMAN TARIFFS.
There is as we have hitherto explained. little
prospect that the extravagant. Agrarian In
spired tariff recently proposed will be adopted
in Germany. The interests OF the empire at
large industrialiy and commercially, are op-
posed to il. Manufactures and trade indeed,
would be seriously impaired by the adoption OF
II. Our dispatches recently reported that trades
men were strongly opposed to it. Thus, the shoe
dealers of Berlin were uniting in a memorial
against the tariff or. At least. against the pro-
posed increase Of duties on American shoes.
which is one of the salient and essential points
of the new scheme
Let it be supposed however. for the sake Of
argument. that the worst should be realized.
and the tariff with all it's extreme and contra
dctorv features, should be adopted. Well, it is
to be observed that American shoes now pay
from 10 10 Il cents q pair duty. Under the
new tariff they would have to pay twice as
much. That would in all probability mean that
German consumers would have to pay from 10
to IL cents a pair more for their shoes than
they do now, or perhaps. at worst, that Ameri-
can manufacturers and merchants would have
to shade down their profits little. AS the
United States COnsul-GeIeral at Berlin says,
there is really no reason to suppose that the
now firmly established and growing American
shoe trade IN Germany would De ueStrOyeO or
even seriously injured, by the imposition of
duty of from 90 to 80 cents pair. The
same may be said of the trade in bicycles. which
are the other manufactured product most aimed
at by the proposed tariff 1t is proposed to raise
the duty upon them from 81 % to about So 80 or
$3 60 each. On cheap goods such an increase
would count, but not on high grade goods. and
it is chiefly high grade goods that the United
States sends to Germany
Let us therefore be serene. The proposed
German tariff is not likely to be adopted. If it
is adopted it will almost certainly be in Il
greatly modified form. But at the worst il it
should be adopted Just as it stands. it would not
do serious harm. Germany would still be our
best customer. barring one, and the intimate.
cordial and mutually beneficent relations. social,
political and commercial. between Germany and
the United States would remain unimpaired

SKETCH OF DIR. RIXEY.

Washington. Sept 19-Preston Marion Rixey,
medical inspector, U. 8. NJ. who. II is
nounced will succeed Surgeon General Van
Reypen, has been President McKinley's ply
sican since Leonard Wood left Washington as
colonel OF the Rough Riders, In 1898 He was
born at Cupeper Va. on July IA. 1852. and is
the elder brother of John Franklin Rixey, who
for the last five years has represented in Con-
gress the district across the Potomac from the
national capital.
Dr. Rixey was graduated from the medical de-
partment Of the University of Virginia In 1873,
and after a years post graduate course at Phila
delphia entered the navy assistant surgeon
on January IS. 1874. He service on many
naval vessels in European, South American and
home sauadrons, and since 1887 has been almost
continuously on special duty in Washington.

serious case Of the grip in last January. and
was with Mrs. Mckinley during her nearly fatal
illness in San Francisco, in May last. The Nc
Kinley household always had the greatest conf
dence in him. and he is well regarded by the
medical profession. He likewise stands high in
surgery, and in this city has done some unusu-
ally fine work with the surgeons knife.
There is some doubt to the date upon
which Surgeon-General Van Reypen will be sue
ceeded. The term for which President Mckin-
lev appointed him ends December Is. next.

that he would be reappoInted for the brief period
until November IA. when he retires on reaching
