The Wardman.

Pity the sorrows of the New York ward
man! That wretched functionary is a
product of Tammanys misrule, a legiti-
mate Item in the police organization turned
10 the llegtimate uses required by Tam
many OF its machine. He obeys the orders
OF MS chiefs and collects from the low re-
sorts. dives gambling hells. brotheIs and
thieves fences the monthly toll which vice
pays to the law for protection. He is the
palpable token of the laws power, even
beyond the patroiman who strolls unobsery-
ing past the doors from which the stencil
of evildoing issues. He Is the link which
binds the law-breaker to the police not
for punishment. but for corrupt defense.
The wardman. therefore, is the most
readily reached of all the agents of cor
ruption when the refOrmers go hunting
He is caught. at times, with the wages of
sin in his hands. He is convicted and
must stand his chance of serving his SEN
tence or getting off on technicality as
result of the skirmishing of his more pow
eiful pals. Whatever happens to others.
he is the first in the line of fire, the human
breastwork put up by the chief corrup-
tiOnists.
The wardman is not likely to "suueaP' on
his principals. The reformer knows shat
however many wardmen he may catch and
punish. other wardmen will come to the
front. charged with the same duties. will
ing TO run the same risks For the blood
money passing up from the dives to the
chiefs sticks to the fingers of men who
handle it The wardman, middleman or coll
lector, as he is. thus stands chance to
grow rich quickly. The line of applicants
for his place is long.
When municipal reform finds a way to
ignore the wardman in the first assault
upon corruption and to identify and catch
the high 'grafters' who are ultimately
responsible IL will score It's greatest victory
over municipal misrule.

handle. especially without the proper APP
paratus. Yet everybody can do something
in this line. Here and there nest OF
worms can be burned out with kerosene
torch. AS the lawn is sprinkled in the
evening the hose directed into the trees
will bring down numbers of the caterpil-
lars and even some of the cocoons. The
fact that most Of the damage for this
year has already been done should not de-
ter the people from attacking the pest.
Now Is the time to work to save next
years trees. For these fuzzy little fellows
now dropping from the limbs are seeking
places to build their nests, and, IL undis-
turbed will spin cocoons and will soon be
srugly tucked away for termination. Each
one of them may produce hundreds of crea-
lures for another years devastation. The
crushing of caterpillars is not a pleasant
act, but it is in the interest of the public
comfort and the beauty of the parks and
shade trees. A good rule for the enter
prising citizen these days. therefore, Is to
step on every caterpillar that crosses his
path.

OratOry and Campaigning.

The following appeared in a Columbus
special to The Star printed on Wednes-
day:
Governor Nash Is not favorable to the
plan for a series of joint debates between
himself and Colonel Kilbourne, as suggest
ed by the latter. He said today that no
challenge had yet Deen sent by Colonel Kill
bourne. OF course, he will accept If one is
sent. He expressed himself today as be-
lieving that no converts were made at such
debates, because tne audiences are made
up of claquerS who cheer their favOrite and
howl down his adversary so that thinking
people generally remained away.
Governor Nash is right about joint po-
litical debates. They make no votes, but
stir up strife and embroil neighborhoods.
People do not attend with open minds to
listen and to be convinced, but rather to
hearten a favorite with applause and be-
little the other fellow with ill-considered
criticism. Not one man in a hundred is
able to give after the meeting is over a
fair idea of what the speakers said. If he
essays the task he accomplshes no more
than to state the case he understood it
before the debate took place.
1t is equally 10 be questioned if a
speaker at a big outdoor meeting makes
any inroads on the opposition even where
his remarks go unchallenged. The monster
rallies do not conduce to thought Not
one person In a hundred present can hear
or tries to hear what the formal deliver
ance is from the speakers own lips. The
strongest voice is limited in carrying power,
and in the open air reaches only a fringe
OF the people about a stand. Those with
in hearing distance applaud, while the COM
plexion of the crowd beyond this line is
constantly changing. People walk up and
look on for moment, and then give place
to others whose curiosity is in turn as
easily satisfied. Everybody understands
that the speech will appear in next days
newspapers and nobody interested in the
subject runs any risk of losing 1t by fail
ing to hear it delivered by word of mouth
The truth is that people attend these rail-
lies more to see than to hear. A speech
is in order and serves its purpose but the
good effected is principally from good fell
lcwship and an exchange of greetings be-
tween friends and EeighborS. How many
majority do you expect to roll up in your
county, and How are you succeeding in
your effort to bring the factions together
in your county?" :.re of more value where
the answers are assuring than the average
speech delivered in the average manner
For the rest, the people are braced by jokes
and stories and "reminiscences, and greatly
so by observing now many may be gath
cred together for the good of the cause
Where the crowd is large and good hui
mored, that fact alone sends everybody
home with a stomach for party work, and
a full vote usually follows.
The orator is not out of date by any
means. but his power is not as great at
party rallies as it once was. When the
newspapers began to print political
speeches in full, the crowd ceased to hang
upon the spoken word.

HUMAN Chameleon

The British peerage system has it's de-
cided disadvantages in it's effect upon the
identity OF individuals who enjoy its priv
neges. 1t requires many a shift of titles,
which under some circumstances might in
terfere with a mans preservation of the
peculiar sign of his ego In this country
a politician knows well enough that 1t is
unwise to change the style of his beard
Thus. Levi p. Morton of New York was
considered to have committed a grave fault
when he shaved his flowing side whiskers
which he had worn for years previous to
his nomination as Gen. Harrison's run
ming mate In 1888. For he entered the
campaign in a different guise from that
which had become familiar and which was
depicted In most of the extant portraits.
Just so Senator Proctor was charged with
infdelity to the rule OF personal appear
ance when. some years ago. shortly after
he had entered the upper house of Con-
gress, he shaved his chin beard which had
distinguished him in the Harrison cabinet
He quickly recognized the blunder and re-
stored the growth. Many another instance
is to be found in such violations of the
strict American regard for the principle
that man owes something to his constlt
