The attack of the Advertiser in the
diffusion of public patronage by James
H, Boyd, as Superintendent of Public
Works, is uncalled for. Patronage is

everything depends upon the one in

the extra session, for the term of q
Territorial Senator does not begin
from one general election to another.
as in the case of the Representatives,
but it is rather from one regular
session to another. Although great
morning paper of the grand Republi-
can party makes an attempt to dispel
this view, but it signally fails in over
coming the clear and plain wording
of the law as contained in the Organic
Act, unless it may have another law
apart and irrelevant from the basic
law governing this Territory today
under American rule and domination.

1t does not seem strange that Gov.
ernor Dole should, in Executive Coun-
ell yesterday, not accept the offer of
the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Co.
to build wharf on Queen street, on
the same layout as the proposition of
H. Hackfeld & Co. Probably Govern
or Dole has finally found out that such
a policy was entirely un-American and
so refused this local corporation.

Our article of yesterdays Issue, head
ed ''Will tho Governor Dare?" was al
ready written before we were aware
that the Governor had really consented
to do what was wanted of him by the
Republican Central Committee and had
issued his proclamation "by virtue of
the authority in me (him) vested by
law" AS his authority to call the
Senate to convene has not been ques
toned, we have nothing to say on this
point. We conoede that he has such
right and we have no bone of conten-

that dirty one will do dirty work,

From the Tombs.

Once upon time there was in
this country mighty organization
known as "the Populist party" 1t
nominated county tickets, State tic
kets and national tickets. 1t con-
trolled the Legislatures of several
States and elected quite a number
of members of the Unied States Sen
ate. For time it seemed to have
great future before it, but in 1896
it dropped into the quagmire of Bry-
anism, and after a few short strug-
giles became quiet and ceased even
to clamor.
In the years that have passed since
the famous Bryan fusion so little has
been heard from the Populists or of
them that the general public has
almost forgotten their existence.
Those who have thought of them at
all have deemed them no more than
memory The opinion has prevailed
that they were all submerged in the
quagmire and that not one remains
with his head out of the mud and his
voice free to shout calamity. Those
opinions are erroneous. Some strag.
glers from the old guard remain. In
one or two States few forlorn men
held what they called conventions"
and have nominated Populist tickets
The public has given no he'd to
such performances, but none the less
the men who went through with
them we're doing something more
than political stunt" 1t appears
they were actually in earnest and
fixing things fer the coming Prest
Dental election.
One of hte survivors of the Bryan
catastrophe is Marion G. Butler of
North Carolina, and he VOWS there
is a future for Populism. He says;
In 1904 the Populist party will have
ticket in the field for the Presi-
dency independent of any other par
| ty. We will poll more vot-s for a
Populist candidate then than we
did when We put up Weaver and got
over two million votes for him.
Since then we have twice fused with
the Democratic party and given it
our votes. In all that time the Dem
ocratic party has taught its voters
to despise Cleveandism, and those
| teachings will be remembered. The
result will be that In 1904 we will
not only get all the votes we get for
Weaver, but we will get a large part
| Of the Democratic vote also, as
have no doubt that by that time the
Democratic party will he in the
hands of the Cleveland Democrats
and will be endeayoring to foster
| Cleyelandism. | cannot undertake
to say what vote we win then poll,
but it will be large one and the
largest we have ever had"
Perhaps Mr.. Buffers voice is but
voice from the tomb, but there
may be something of ghostly pro-
phecy in it even if it be no more
! than that At any rate it has dole
/ ful sound for Democracy, The re-
organizers are warned Stay with

In the last issue of the Bulletin, we
notice in a purported interview that
the Governor is credited with making
the following statement that he should
certainly recognize only the newly
elected Senators with those holding
over from the previous election" That's
natural for him to do, for what else
could he do, as his rarty now has
safe working majority. But had Home
Rulers got the majority, we are sur!
and certain that he would not have
called them, or the Senate to convene
into special session for the transac-
tion of any public business whatsoever
One thing then would be perfectly GER
tain, and that is, that he would not
have issued his call Sure!

Admitting the argument of a Repub-
lican morning paper that Legislators
serve from one general election to an
other" our fundamental law Is plain
on that point Only the members of
the lower House, and not those of the
upper, are mentioned and that in very
clear, concise, plain and unmistakable
language. And yet this morning organ
would have us believe that otherwise
was the case. According to its conten-
ton, now that its party is on top,
they can make white out of black and
black white. Anything and everything
they can do, even to evading the plain
and clear terms of the Organic Act.
In the position now assumed by our
Governor, he is anything and every
thing. He will only recognize "the
newly elected Senators with those hold
ing over from the previous election"
Didn't we once say so that that would
surely be the stand taken by him and
he has done so now, but we think that
he is evading the issue and the law in
the matter. But of course, we have to
live in order to learn things new and
WISE or things wise and otherwise, and
we are having it every day now.

several hundred people to buy small
acreages along the line and build there

and their advantages. ~ IL also
tells of their disadvantages.
Every city Of considerable size has
its commuters, and the national capital
has only recently grown TO that size.
OF course, even small cities have per-
centage of commuters, but they only
attain respecta Dility in numbers when
thecity grows abnormally.
Some readers have never heard OF
commuters, nor even seen any OF them.
They must he informed that COM
muiers are men and women who work
in cities, no matter at what oceupa-
tions, white they dwell in suburban viii
lagos or away out in the country.
Henry George, or some philosopher
like MIN, would here stop TO reel OF
an argument about the wickedness and
wrong-doing of those who own prop
erty 10 the exclusion of others; but
that has nothing to do with this story.
1T may be wrong for certain indivld-
uals TO own thousands OF acres OF graz
ing ground for their countless cattle;
and it may be wrong for certain men to
own a major portion of the earth IN
which gold is deposited. 1t may be
wrong for William A. Clark to own the
greatest deposit of copper on the face
OF the earth; and it may be wrong for
few individuals to own the great coal
fields of this continent. But the right
OF it and the wrong of it must be argued
out by philosophers, scientists, poiiti-
clans or political economists.
Rents in cities are very high because
the limited amount of land used Tor
business purposes is very valuable.
The ground is of greater value than the
edifces erected upon it. Therefore,
the ground used for residences is so lar
beyond the reach of ordinary wage
earners that they can never think OF
owning city homes; and very large
lumber of them cannot even earn
enough to enable them to afford topay
house rent or room rent. These people
become the commuters of the cities.
They get that peculiar name be-
cause of the fact that the railroad COM
panies carry them from their SUBURBAN
homes to their work in the city every
morning and back again every night
for comparatively small charge. That
is. as compared with the regular
rates for passengers. They buy
monthly or quarterly communication
tickets, and it is on account of this
that they are called commuters.
The strangest thing about COM
muters of the national capital is that
they can rent houses in Baltimore at
such low rate, as compared with rates
: here, that they can afford to pay their
communication rates and yet save
money. Baltimore is 40 miles distant
from Washington, but it only takes
about three-quarters of an hour to
make the trip. Government clerks
here in great numbers rent homes in
baltimore, although they do their work
in this city. The Offices here open at
