THE GOVERNORS VISIT.
DENIES STORIES OF FRICTION WITH SEN
ATOR PI4ATT, AND WON'T TALK
AROJrT EXCISE

Governor OdeI at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
Yesterday and when asked about stories of friction
between himself and Senator Platt said:
.'These stories about friction between the Sem
ator and myself are made of nothing but sawdust.
Who is going fight? 1t takes two for a fight. and
| am sure | Will start trouble
Does that mean that the Senator will remain
leader as long as he Hves?' was asked
..I should say So the answer.
The Governor declined anything one way
or another about excise. There Will be time
enough to talk about excise when some Dill Is m
troduced' he remarked.
When asked who would succeed Controller
knight the Mayor-elect Of Buffalo he said that
he had not vet decided man. and was In no
haste about making the appointment 1t Is the
belief of local Republican leaders however. that
because of the inability of the Buffalo people to
choose a man the Governor is considering Theo-
dore p Gilman now Deputy Controller and they
believe that Mr.. Gilman is likely to be appointed
The Governor said that there was no politics IN
his present visit but that he had come down 10 a
private dinner at the home of G. K Clark, of the
Produce Exchange
1t had been reported around the Fifth Avenue
Hotel that Senator Platt would reach the city
later in the day. and that he and the Governor
would have breakfast together this morning The
Senator did not reach the city last night
and the Governor intends to leave town early this
morning.

THE BROADENING OF THE PREs1-
DENT.

We have watched with deep interest
notable broadening of President Nc
Kinley's views upon the subject of our
trade with foreign countries. The tariff
act that bore his name and the Dingley
act now in force were drawn with the
deliberate purpose Of discouraging inn
portations, which is the same thing as
discouraging foreign trade. But in his
address of recent date the President
said
"Our diversified productions, however,
are increasing in such unprecedented
volume as to admonish us of the neces-
sity of still further enlarging our foreign
markets by broader commercial rela-
tions. For this purpose reciprocal trade
arrangements with other nations should
in liberal spirit be carefully cultivated
and promoted"
When the free traders used to say
that, they were roundly denounced as
enemies of American industries. 1t was
OIlO IdoIl1Ou w say CilSIC Ulloy WSIo Ou Jllo
pay roll Of the Golden Club. If not
quite free trade, it is much freer trade
that the President advocates. Reciprocal
trade arrangements made in liberal
spirit with other nations, the same ma
tions that we shut out from our markets
four years ago, would fundamentally
change our tariff policy. 1t is, in fact,
an abandonment of the policy of pro-
lection and exclusion that the President
recommends. He has good reason for
his change of view. Our increasing pro-
ductiveness, he says admonishes us 'of
the necessity of still further enlarging
our foreign markets by broader COM
mercial relations" This was abom-
Unable heresy few years ago. 1t is
sound doctrine now. 1t is more than
doctrine-it is prophecy, and fulfillment
is not far off.-New York Times.

citizens. Then a committee was created
with Louis Blanc at it's head to carry
at the Luxembourg, to give work and
wages to everybody. He issued as many
declarations and as much inflammatory
literature as state committee of fused
discomfort and greed for office issued for
Nebraska in 1900. Blanc's utterances
destroyed all relations between labor
and capital, between employers and
employees. They forbade contracts be-
tween those wishing to work and those
desiring to hire workmen. They at
tempted by decree to fix the rates of
wages for each kind of service to be
rendered. They declared ten hours a
day. They sundered labor from capital
and paralyzed both. They threatened
to appropriate and run all manufacture
and commerce by the government,
for the government. Thus social
order was endangered, and, con-
sequently, the French government or
ganized the Ateliers Nationaur-work-
shops of the nation. The state was to
be the universal employer. All the ideas
of communism were to be enacted. All
paupers and all men out of employment
rushed into these workshops of the
state and it was soon demonstrated that,
though the right to labor was admitted,
the duty to labor was not. And in June,
1S4S, there were one hundred and ten
thousand persons on the pay rolls of the
government eating up the national sub
stance. State employment thus abolished
admits insurrection, rapine and riot.
Is there not trend now to the same
doctrines? Is not state ownership for
railroads a pre-

peerless demagogy mere repetition in

when capital calls for a hundred men

employment wages are high. All the

that the right to work at living wages
should be guaranteed by the govern
ment, were exposed and refuted by
actual failure when put into practice by

all in his power to make such shops a

that society, the government, owed sub
sistence to it's citizens by furnishing
them work.
Fourier enumerated the doctrines of
the droat an trauail saying:
"God condemned the first man and
his posterity to work with the sweat of
their brow; but he has not condemned
us to be deprived of that work on which
our subsistence depends. We can then,
in accordance with the rights of man,
request philosophers and civilization not
to deprive us of that resource which
God has left us at the worst and as a
chastisement and to guarantee us the
right and the kind of labor to which we
have been brought up"

THE BETTER WAY.

10E DEL LEX WAL.
Referring to the little discussion
between Mrs Evans and Mr.. Johnson,
1 think the better way is to regard Jesus
as character; whether it be of history
or fiction, it matters not. The vital
question is: Do the teachings of Jesus
contribute to the betterment of man?
If taken rightly, I think they do.
In the eleventh and twelfth verses of
the seventh chapter of Matthew, he is
represented as saying:
Good Gifts.
eff we then being evil, know how to
give good gifts unto your children, how
much more shall your Father which is
in Heaven give good gifts to them that
ask him?
Golden Rule.
Therefore, all things whatsoever We
would that men should do unto you, do
ye even so to them; for this is the laav
and the prophets.
Complete.
Jesus, so it is written, once accused
the Jews of making void the law by
their traditions. If you will read the
Bible thoughtfully, you can easily
separate the truth from the traditions.
There is neither tradition nor supersti-
ton in the above quotation. 1t needs
no proof to convince us that they cover
the whole duty of man.
What difference, whether he was only
character, or the real "son of man."
as he is represented as calling himself?
What difference, whether God is real
being, or only personification Of good?
We are all seeking the Good because it
lessons our pain and sorrow, and in
creases our happiness. Why not occupy
the whole time accommodating the good
regardless of how it comes to us.
Starch.
1t seems that everything we get in this
world, like maize, has more stalk, blades,
husks, cob and bran, than real starch.
The Bible is no exception to this rule. A
beast can masticate and assimilate all of
the maize, but man uses only the finer
portion of the grain.
A person of refined character cannot
accept the husky traditions and super
stitutions still, the Bible contains real
