Editorial Comment.

1t is positively stated that Senator Tom
Plat of New York will permanently retire
from the United States senate at the ex-
piration of his present term OF office IN
March, 1908.
Senator Platt has for a verv long period
been one Cf the most conspicuous figures
in American public life. A leader in New
York state and city politics lie became the
colleague in the senate of the famous Ros
COG COnkliDg, achose sensational resignation
he followed when that austere and master
full statesman quarreled with President
Arthur. Neither were then returned to the
senate as they had expected and hoped in
vindication of their course and ConklIlg
who had shared with Blaine the domination
OF the national republican party, went into
practical retirement, but Platt still remain.

In time he vas again elected TO the sen.
ate aud few men have exercised greater
power for many years. He has been prac.
tical dictator in New York state and city
and has not only manipulated the Albany
legislature in bis own way but his personal
influence has sone farther and it may be
said that until the star of Hanna arose no
man could be elected president lcithOut his
consent.
Senator Plat was one of the founders of
the modern express business in the United
States and be has always been active in
commercial affairs.

1t seems lik ly that Governor Odeli may
be chosen to succ. ed Platt, though it is
rumored that the formed has presidential
aspirations.
The legislature which is to assemble on
the fourth in extra session can only Con
slider such matters as are named in the
proclamation of the governor converting that
body.
AS TO the enactment OF general lalcS and
the transaction of business irreevent to the
purposes for which it is called there is no
autbt rity. This is fundamental principle
OF the American legislative system.
The powers vested in the various ex-
ecutive branches of the insulsr government
are based upon the territorial system by
the terms and the spirit of the Foraker act.
There is promise of a most successful
celebration OF the Fourth of July. The
committees have united in doing all that
has been possible to promate the public
interest in the day and have succeeded in
securing considerable sums of money with
which to defray the expenses.

Brown Will Live IN History.

In reviewing the recent decisions of the
Supreme Court, most of the comment of a
personal nature has focused about Justice
Brown and his opinions, says New York
writer. This is easily explained; he was
che member OF the court who seemingly
held the balance of power, and wherever
his conclusions turned the power of the
court rested. He will always be remem
bered, so long as the history of this great
is told, on account of his conspi-
cuous part in the celebrated insular decisions,
with all their far-reaching consequences.

MEMBERS HAD MEETING LAST NIGHT
Action Deferrsd Until Next
Week--Story of the
Break.

Island City lodge No. 80, of the
Royal Arch, held meeting at Turner
hall last evening to consider what
course should be taken in regard to
the chism that has occurred in the
order.
Action was deferred till the regular
meeting next Tuesday evening, when
the local lodge will probably decide to
affiliate with the new organization.
The danger OF division and the
forming of two lodges is thought to
have been obviated.
The Order of the Royal Arch is q
secret organization of retail liquor
dealers. It has been rent asunder by
internal dissensions and. it is said,
practically has ceased to exist. From
out of the ruins has arisen a new
order. known as the Knights of
Fidelity, which will have its national
headquarters in Chicago.
The break came last week at the
national convention of the order in
Cincinnati, when James Hay, Illinois
grand valiant commander, led a bolt
by . large number of delegates and
perfected the new organization. The
secession was the result of alleged
dissatisfaction with the work of G.. S.
Rogers, supreme organizer.

BUSINESS MEN MEDIAToRs
IN CARPENTERS STRIKE

Business men have rendered their
services as mediators in the carpen-
ters' strike, committee representing
the Rock Island Club and the Retail
Merchants association, and composed
of Mayor B. F. Knox. F. G. Young,
W. c. Maucker, L. Simon and John
Dolly, going before meeting last
night of the carpenters union to hear
officially the demands of the men in
order to be properly informed when
they meet with the contractors. The
committee volunteered its good Offices
in the dispute and is hopeful Of bring
ing about an amicable adjustment be-
tween the carpenters and the en-
ployers.
Two more crafts, in which the men
are united in unions, will demand of
the Moline factories 9-hour day and
10 hours pay beginning with July l.
These are the drillers and the frame
filters, of whom there are several
hundred in the city.
There are now the following trades
which will make the same demand at
the same time: Blacksmiths, molders,
patternmakers, drillers, frame filters.
They include 1 200 zen and just the
craftsmen who are the sinew of the
local implement factories, and should
all of them go to the extreme of strik-
ing to enforce their demands they
would tie up the industries of the city
worse than any disturbance known in
the history of the city.
The factory men are not saying
what they will do, but it is not likely
that the demands will be granted at
once. One of the manufacturers has
said that if all concerns throughout
the country would take action at once
there would be less hardship in sc
cepting the new scale.

The Rock Island ball players ar

from finishing the series yesterday
by wet grounds. The management
attributes the outcome of the two
games played to poor individual work
at critical junctures. Wednesdays
game in particular was forfeited, after
being fairly won, through one players
loose play and a questionable ruling
by the umpire.
Charley Miller was considered in
shape to throw at least part of today's
opening game for the locals, and
Rockford served notice that her serv-
ing would be done by her hardest
proposition, Elliott, who in his last
game at Davenport put IA men out Of
