The Political Issue OF the Future


The letter we print to-day from Mr..
EUGENE V. BREWSTER of Brooklyn is
peculiarly suggestive in view Of that
gentleman's past prominence as friend
and admrer and spokesman of Mr..
BRYAN.
Mr.. BREWSTER thinks he discerns
many signs that this country is APP
preaching a crisis Of great pith and mo-
ment !" and he finds many students
Of events who agree with him in the
gloomy prediction that stormy times
are ahead Of us because of the spread of
socialist radicalism, Of which the coal
strike was dangerous symptom. If
period OF business depression and flnan-
cial disaster should come before the
election of 1904 the forces of radicalism
would find leader, Mr.. BREWSTER
propheses, who would enable them
practically to overthrow the Govern
ment founded by the Constitution.
Cnquestionably, the purposes and
methods of the coal strike were incon-
sstent with our theory of government
and subversive Of popular liberty, and
unquestionably they found defenders on
the stump, in lotteries of socologists :"
and even in the Christian pulpit. Unfort-
unately, too. the leaders Of that assault
on popular liberty, on law, order, life and
the security of property conceive that
they have reason for encouragement,
even If they have not received direct ap-
proval in the appointment of a commits
sion by the President of the United State s
to treat with them as if those purposes
and methods were lawful and not oiYen-
sive to the principles on which the social
compact throughout civilization rests.
1t is also true that the general organiza-
ton of which the leaders of this strike
are only particular agents il proceeding
to the extreme Of expelling members
who perform the first and most essential
duty of the citizen in rendering the mill
tary service for the defence of the State
and it's order to which all citizens are
made liable by law.
Mr.. BREWSTER may well regard such
manifestations as ominous. If they are
taken, as he seems to take them, for in
dications of a pervasive spirit of rebellion
against law and order he is justified in
predicting the overthrow of our govern
ment as the logical consequence of them.
1t cannot be doubted, as he suggests
that there will come a time when our
industrial system will be able no longer
to bear the burden Of the exactions now
put on it by the organization Of which
the coal strikers are "A part. The day
will come when the very preservation of
our industries will make necessary re-
ductions in the prices paid to labor in a
period Of unprecedented prosperity such
"a this is Unfortunate labor itself will

THE CANAL NEGOTIATIONS.
Secretary Hay Reports to the Cabinet tho
Cause Of the Delay.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2i.-An explanation
of the present condition of the Panama
Canal negotiations with the Government
of Colombia was made to the President
and the members Of the Cabinet to-day by
Secretary Hay. 1t was evident from what
Mr. Hay said that the Presidents desire
to include in his annual message to Con-
gress a statement Of the conclusion Of the
negotiations could not be gratified. and Mr..
Roosevelt expressed his disappointment
that this should be the case.
According to what Mr., Hay told his col
leagues in the Cabinet room every essential
point in the treaty negotiations had been
arranged and the document could be signed
now il Colombia, or rather the Colombian
Minister in Washington, had not made
new issue on the contention that the
Colombian Constitution forbade the grant
ing of absolute control over any portion OF
the territory of the republic 10 any for
eign nation The contention Is believed
by the Administration TO be disingenuous,
for an examination OF the Colombian Con-
s,itution shows that territory may even
be entirely alienated. Dissatisfaction over
the attitude of Colombia was expressed
AT the Cabinet meeting, where the prevail
ing opinion appeared 20 he that the South
American Republic was raising new dim
culies with the ultimate object OF asking
for an increase in the price for the canal
rights Of way,

Kansas City FOrbids "ChaufFcur."

Kansas City, the many-hilled metrop-
oils of the Southwest. has done another
memorable deed. Some rash men, taking
their lives in their hands, have introduced
automobiles into Kansas City. How can
an automobile live in that climbing town?
The street cars there run on their hind
legs. Many of the houses stand on cliffs,
wherefrom the street can be reached only
by long ladders such as the New Mexico
Indians use. DR.. HAROLD MACDONALD
Of Ozark University estimates that the
average calf Of the leg in Kansas City
exceeds by three-sixteenths Of an inch
the average calf of the leg in the rest of
the United States. except Albany and the
Rocky Mountains. 1t is interesting to
watch some prominent Board of Trade
man taking a balloon for home, at the
close Of business. Letters are delivered
by carrier pigeons. Many wealthy cti-
zens have gravity railroads running up
and down from the front steps Of their
houses.
In short, Kansas City is less level than
Brooklyn Yet automobiles have APP
peared there. Coasting in automobiles
down those dizzy heights must be rare
sport. Kansas City loves excitement
and will not interfere with any reason
able diversion. But she is American
from the tips of her ample feet to the top
of her comedy head. She permits the
automobile, but she waves away the
chauffeur" After profound philolog-
ical discussion Alderman BARRY has sue
ceeded in putting into municipal ordi-
nance in regard to automobiles the word
operator. Gripman" was suggested,
but rejected Possibly the simple word
driver would have been better than
operator" which seems a triie pom
pous. Driver or" devil-driver would
be sufficient; and the latter is euphonious
and even poetical. Engine-driver is
or has been in use; and the pilot
hemsman, steerer, power-puller, coach
man and tanker-up of an automobile
NAV well be called the driver of IT,
There is no sound defence of chauf-
feur, the inappropriate French importa-
ton justly scorned by the Kansas City
Aldermen. The driver is only in a sec
ondary sense the fireman or stoker. His
main duty is not to fire or stoke, but to
drive, steer and stop. He is rather an
engineer than afreman. Besides. chauf-
feur is an offensive word in itself Most
Of the deviltries Of devil wagons have
been caused by chaufleurs. If these
concerns had plain drivers instead Of
ornamental chauIeurs there would
be less prejudice against the thing they
drive. And genuine firemen and stokers
have a right to protest against calling
man a fireman or stoker because he

One of the most significant develop
ments i'm connection with the trust ques-
ton occurred in the close of john MITCH
Ellis testimony before the Gray Com
mission. Many closed eye opened wide
when President ROOSEVELT, in getting
up a conference at the White House be-
tween what he considered the two chief
parties to the coal struggle, invited one
representative Of the laborers and six
representatives Of the operators. All
striker organs had been full OF demands
for legal proceedings against the coal
trust, to disrupt it; yet the conference
disclosed trust on the side Of the labor
ers only. MITCHELL's recent testimony
showed that the conference aforesaid rep
resented but a small part of this policy
of consolidation.
To the suggestion that the anthracite
miners should have their own union,
apart from the United Mine Workers,
in which the anthracite and bitumi-
nous men are now joined, MITCHELL's
answer was a positive refusal; it would
never do, in his opinion. All mine work.
ers must be united in one body, sub
ject TO one rule. Opposed to this union
there would remain. of course, the six
anthracite companies mentioned plus
the many more companies owning the
bituminOus mines.
We still hear loud bowling against
the beef barons, and there is observa-
able in the Department Of Justice great
activity for the prevention of combina-
ton among them. Yet man named
MITCHELL and his associates are bend
ing all their energies, openly and unop-
posedly, to creating a monopoly in the
machinery that produces coal, an article
which as a necessity certainly ranks
with beef.
Prejudice and Partially will have to be
rooted out before the trust question can
be dealt with fairly and intelligently.

Socialism Applied.

An Impressive object lesson in applied socialism

force the reduction. 1t will rise up
against the tyrannical system Of organ
tied labor which would bar out the vast
majority of workers from an oppor-
tunity to make living and would hold
for its sole occupation and enjoyment
the whole field of profitable industry.
The danger, however. is not of an
BREWSTER sees it, but Of violent con-
test waged by free labor against the Sc
cretly confederated labor bent on mo-
nopolizing for itself all the industry of
the Countrywide great majority against
small and grasping minority. That Is
the danger, and it is the greater the more
successful this confederated labor is in
forcing its exactions at this particular
period Of prosperity. Labor has moth
ing TO fear from capital but il has a
cruel enemy in the organized tyranny
ofthe labor union minority, against which
bitter contest is sure to be provoked
eventually by the bare need of bread, by
the very instinct Of self-preservation in
the great mass Of society. The little
minority will not be left peaceably to
enjoy all the plums as its exclusive
possession.
The relations of labor, now so injuri-
ously distorted. will right themselves,
but the outcome, instead of being the
overthrow of government expected by
Mr. BREWSTER, will be the union of
vastly preponderating political forces in
society for the overthrow of the monster
OF despotic labor unionism. That re-
suit may be looked for as an inevitable
consequence Of present conditions. The
right of every man to labor without per-
mission granted by union card will
be an issue which will band together the
overwhelming mass of society. The
man to lead, for whom Mr.. BREWSTER
cries, will be the man who most bravely
and most uncompromisingly asserts this
right of individual liberty and most
ably and most fully represents it.

The German Army is considered usually
homogeneous body Of troops but the new
articles OF war just prepared, which super
sede those promulgated in 1872 have been
printed not only in German. but in four
other languages: in Lithuanian, for the re-
cruits from East Prussia: in Polish, for the
men from Posen; in Danish for the Sches-
wig-Hosteiners; and in French for the sol
diers from the Reichsland. That Great
Britain and the United States. with their
native c lonial troops and that Germany,
with her African levies, should have TO
publish orders in various tongues, is not
strange; but that il should be necessary to
publish the articles Of war in five languages
for the soldiers Of an army stationed wholly
within and drawn from the continental
limits Of the country certainly detracts
from the widespread belief in the ho-
mogeneity Of Germany.

TO BJILD BROOKLYN TUNNELc
Chief Engineer Of II. II. T. Company Visits
President SwanstrOm.

Rumors, that appear well founded, con-
meet visit Of Chief Engineer Bracken-
ridge of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Com
pany to Borough President Swanstrom
yesterday. with the building Of the Fourth
avenue tunnel at the expense of the railroad
company.
Mr. Swanstrom refused to admit that
the railroad officials were contemplating
building the subway, but said that Mr..
Breckenridge had taken the plans away
with him.
Il believe the subways will be built
he said, without any, or little. cost TO the
city"
The plans for the building Of the subway
contemplate the connection Of the Fourt
avenue tunnel with one leading TO Hamilton
avenue, connecting with second East River
tunnel. Another tunnel under the Narrows
to the borough Of Richmond will also con-
meet with the Fourth avenue subway.
Chief Engineer Breckenridge refused to
discuss the plans Of the railroad officials
last night. IL is understood, however
that another conference with Borough
President Swanstrom will be held in the
near future.
