A One-Siaed view.

Senator Hansbrough has written ans
other editorial on the tariff question, and
advance copies have been sent out, <the
text being published in another column
of today's Herald. 1t VIII be noticed that
the senator scores the Democrats for ia
ycring tariff revision, and calls particular
attention to the unfayorable criticisms of
his position which have appeared in the
st. Paul Gle e. The reader of this
editorial, if he did not know better.
would conclude that it was only from
Democratic sources that such criticism
had come It was to be expected that
there would be Democratic opposition if
for mere partisan reasons But is it.

Democratic exchanges? Or is it possible
that having read the Republican papers.

have been more severe in their criticisms
of his position than have those of the
opposite political faith? If these facts
have escaped the observation OF the
senior senator it may be as well to re-

AGandition. Not a Theory.

When congress assemblies next month

and with several theories. The condi-
ton is an annual surplus of Sl3o,000,evo
The theories relate to its prevention or
disposal.
A considerable number of men IN Of

of dealing with the surpiuS-that IS,
spending it. Spending other peoples
money is always an agreeable occupa-
ton to the average politician. There
are ways enough, of course. Ship sub
sidies an isthmian canal, more pensions,
bigger river and harbor appropriations
and new public buildings to re-elect con-
gressmen can easily absorb the surplus.
But there are important elections in near

wise and prudent leaders OF the party In
mower do not look with favor upon a
new carnival of extravaganza.

change for a like lowering or remission

Now, what would Mr. Roosevelt do~in
this case? Would he negotiate treaties
with France, Germany and other coun-
tries agreeing to lower our duties on
their products so per cent, more or less,
in consideration of reduction of their
duties on our products, and would he at
the same time maintain the full Dingley

British already admit our products alb

That would manifestly be most I'M
just and ungrateful treatment of a coun-
try which buys from us more than any
other score of countries put together and
treats us so literally that she has prac-
tically nothing left to coneede. In sim
pie justice to our best customer we ought
to give her the benefit of our lowest
treaty rates. We must necessarily do
that purely as matter of fairness and
for our own interests, because there is no
room for reciprocal concessions on the

IF Orthodox He May Steal.

The outcome of the recent election in
Pennsylvania is, by contrast with the re-
suits obtained in other states, an ex-
ceedingly disheartening experience. In
Pennsylvania, both in the city and the
country districts, public spirit is appar-
entity an unknown quantity, Or to state
the case in most exact terms, it is not
an element in determining political re-
suits that can be depended upon to lead
to a majority vote. If the political thieves
and scalawags are Republicans, or more
especially if they are good protectionists,
they can count, in Pennsylvania, upon
receiving a sufficient support to secure
their elections, even though there should
be nominated against them men of the
highest reputation for honor, honesty
and ability. Perhaps no more striking
illustration can be found in any part OF
our country of the demoralizing and de-
praying effects of a system of public aid
in private enterprises than is presented
by the political situation in the Keystone
state. Provided the bosses are sound OH
the subject of industrial protection, they
may loot the public treasury to their
hearts desire without fearing that re-
buke will be administered to them by
their constituencies made up of the
classes to which we have just refereed

he is not going to give up. According
to report, he says the federal patronage
in Delaware does not concern him one
way or the other that all he wants is
the senatorship, and that he will work
for that as persistently as before. Yet
it is safe to assume that his power Tor

An American citizen who has long re-
sided in the City of Mexico has written a
letter to the New York Sun. criticising
the conduct of certain members of the
United States delegation to the Pam
American conference. Society at the
Mexican capital is punctilious and the
failure of the Americans to observe the
expected social requirements, according
to this observer, has given offense and
hurt the cause of the United States
The first instance he cites is That of the
performance of a leading member of the
United States delegation at the reception
given by President and Mrs. Diaz to the
delegates. He was offered the distirl-
guished honor of taking the president S
wife to supper. His blunt reply was
that he was tired and was going home.

COL. r. B. HARRISON, LAWYER.
From current newspaper item it is
learned that Col Russell B. Harrison,
son of Benjamin and great grandson of
William Henry, has read law. passed the
required examination and been admitted
to the bar, together with the heredita-
ments, appurtenances and emoluments
thereunto appertaining, to be laconic.
And for why, guess you, did Col. Har-
rison seek to be a lawyer? In order that
he might defend himself against what
he claims is the harsh treatment Of the
war department And this leads to the
query, Wherein has the war department.
dealt harshly with the scion of the house
of Harrison, boasting two presidents:
Particulars are lacking in the item men
toned, and are not clearly in mind.
But, it seems, COL Harrison went val
iantly to war in the time when his coun-
try called for soldiers to march against
the man-eating dons. IF memory serves
us faithfully Col. Harrison's first achieve
ment was the detection, while in the
quartermasters department, of car
lead of overripe potatoes, which some
unscrupulous contractor was trying to
! sell to the governm snt for the use Of
volunteer boys in camp. With a bravery
not exceeded by that of Benjamin OF
William Henry on the tented field. he
defied the contractor and thwarted the
base attempt to foist unsanitary pota-
toes on the soldiers of the union.
Well, the war went on, and Col. Har-
rison won other and higher honors, but
wound up with wrangle over some ac-
counts. AS is often the case, his accounts
were discredited by the war department,
and to this day he has not been able to
get a settlement to his own liking.
| With an implied distrust of the legal
fraternity which TIL Globe regrets

The American railroad system.

With the formation of a. single great
corporation to control the warning trans
continental interests of the great North
west American railroads as whole
may be said to have reached the point,
solid but elevated, toward which they
have been struggling for the two genera
lions since their inception, and which
less than ten years ago seemed beyond
the reach of many of them. With all
the various geographical systems now
in strong hands. with oyerbuilding and
reckless competition insured against,
these institutions should now be as Sc
cure as the government which protects
them. The conservative processes OF the
last few years are as marvellous as the
progressive movements of the years that
went before. The building of $4,000
miles of American railroads has been
no greater task than the adjustment,
now nearly complete, of each part of
this enormous system to all the others.
