running to distant box often gives the
fire start which makes the difference be-
tween one-line item and a column account
of the event in the newspapers.
Yet 1t is possible to sympathize with the
DIRECTORS. The poles are unsightly beyond
doubt. But they cannot be made less so
short of comprehensive conduit system
and the provision Of funds for series Of
artistic posts rising to a convenient height
IN an artistic design. The day of the ugly
wEe bearer Is passing and in its stead is
coming new fashion which considers the
tastes of the people. Electric light stand
ards are now designed with some regard
for appearances and posts bearing street
designations are quite ornamental. The
police signal boxes are held in place by
pillars which are at least inoffensive. May
the day soon come when all wooden poles
now standing within the city shall be low
cred and every wire now carried by them
buried. Then Washington may boast per-
haps of series of artistic standards OF all
kinds which will afford no citizen the slight
est excuse for opJecting to any sort Of
electric emplacement In his vicinity.

The Next Speakership.

1t looks like Mr.. Cannon. Starting with
the advantages of long experience in the
House, large personal acquaintance, and
an excellent geographical position, he has
increased his lead until he Is now the choice
of the country west OF the Alleghenies.
That makes him very strong In the race
and gives him the appearance of winner.
The east has the presidency, and is assured
of Mr.. ROosevelt's nomination in 1904, and
the east should be content. BY bestowing
the speakership on the middle territory, and
going to the west for their vice presidential
candidate, the republicans will shape up
campaign which should make them very
formidable two years hence.
Nj. Cannon denies the story that any
pledges have passed as the result of any
support that has come to him. If chosen
Speaker he will. he declares, be free to act
for the public's best interests. The speaker
ship is great office, and no man having
his own and the cOuntry's welfare at heart
can very well afford TO make play for it
upon any other terms than his fitness for
its duties and his desire to serve the people
fairly and justly in the place. Bargains are
always dangerous. Those administrations
OF the House which have been clouded by
accusations Of that kind have been barren
of good results
There need be no difficulty in organizing
the committees of the next House upon a
basis which will insure the country both
experience and capacity in the cutting out
of useful measures. Nearly all the strong
men on the majority side of the present
House have been reelected. Their names
Instantly occur to every reader of congress
sional proceedings The Speaker therefore
will have but TO call these men to the places
to which their talents conspicuously point
TO make the House machinery work with
out a creak or serious jar.
This is not to intimate that the republi-
cans not confronted by some difficult
problems, for they are. But those problems
are not for the House alone to solve. The
whole party must be and will be consulted
about them. The. future of the party de-
ponds upon the solution of them: and who
ever of Importance in the partys councils
has a suggestion to offer will probably en-
JOY an opportunity to be heard. The tariff,
the trusts. and he further course in the
Philippines will not be handed over to the
majority of the House to be dealt with
purely upon Its own initiative and opinions.
Two heads are better than one even If one
OF them be not crowned with congress
sional commission.

President Loubet.

The French official who in discussing the
suggested visit Of President Loubet to the
st. Louis exposition declared that in case
the visit was made the reception of the
President Of France in the United States
would eclipse that accorded to Prince Henry
OF Germany last winter struck false note.
There can be no doubt that President Lou
bet would be most heartily welcomed, by
reason both of his official position and his
personal worth. France is a friend of
America, and the man at present at the
head of her government Is represented to
us as in every. way equal to his high re-
sponsibillties. But we want to see all of
our friends in Europe and elsewhere at St.
Louis, and we shall greet all who come
warmly and sincerely. There will be no
contest as sometimes takes place at our
national conventions when the names of
favorites are presented. as to whose name
shall provoke the loudest and most pro-
longed cheering. We have exercised our
lungs over Prince Henry, and we shall be
glad to exercise them over President Lou

a Full and Reliable Business Index.

In the way of advertising. Saturday last
was what might be styled the banner day
in the history of The Evening Star. In
other words, the space occupied by
advertisements n it's columns was larger in
that than In any previous issue of the pa
per. But even more significant and sug
gestive than mere quantity was the great
number and varied character of the a6-
vertisemeuts which made UP this remark
able showing. Taken together they reach
ed the phenomenal aggregate of thirteen
hundred and eighty-eight separate an
nouncements. and may truly be said to
have represented every legitimate business
and every decent phase of life in the ma
tional capital, from the formal cards of
financial institutions with millions of dol
lars in capital and deposits the tempting
opportunities for real estate investments,
and the alluring announcements of our
great and enterprising mercantile houses,
down to the modest wants of the humblest
citizen. Every issue of The Star is indeed
literally "a map of busy life, its fiuctua-
lions and it's vast concerns" but Saturdays

reading matter and it's wide range of bust
ness induces filled in a pre-eminent degree
the poets ideal of all that a daily family
newspaper should be.
Yet if the issue of Saturday may be styled
phenomenal, as a business reflex, all the
issues of last week were in fact hardly
less SO. During the six days from Mon
day the 10Th to Saturday the 10Th, inclu-
sive. there were over SOB columns of ad-
yertisements printed in The Star, footing
up the enormous aggregate of 5.s4S in num-
Der. This is believed 10 be greater guam
tity and a larger number of legitimate and
bona fide announcements than were printed
during the same period in any newspaper

Labor Issues.

While great labor dispute is in course
OF arbitration before a commission OF dis
tinguished men. side lights are being shed
upon the great question OF the working
mans rights and the pubIic's rights else
where than in Pennsylvania. Up at Sche-
nectady the agitation caused by the expul-
sion of painter from the union and his
dismissal from his job because he obeyed
orders as member of the National Guard
has for the time been subordinated to
sudden new development. an attempt to
boycott the street railway company OF that
city. The corporation persisted in respecting
its contract with a carpenter who employed
non-union workmen, and was put under the
ban of the trades assembly of the city,
which not only ordered every union work
commanded them to boycott all mer-
chants who themselves used those lines
Yesterday the boycott went into effect but
IL was a miserable failure. The majority
or the laboring men employed in Schenecta-
dy live at distance from that city. some
of them even in Albany and they mus.

time. They refused to respect the unreal
sonab'e. rule which put such heavy handi-
cap upon them, and yesterday patronized
the cars as usual. The citizens showed no
Year of the threat Of a boycott. and In con-
sequence of this demonstration OF indiffer-
ence to the unions orders the outlook now

land a few years ago and led to several
suits which clearly demonstrated that the
boycott has no substantial foundation in
law. 1t was carried there for time to
preposterous extremes. Merchants who
used the car lines were boycotted and every
person who bought goods OF these men was
likewise placed under the ban. Physicians
were warned not to give medical aid to any
such people, and were themselves put on
the blacklist If they refused to heed the
prohibition. The community was soon en-
nseshed in the coils of monster which
threatened its life. Then sudden reac-
ton came, freeing the people from the i'm
position. In st. Louis later the boycott was
undertaken, but 1t had even less success
than in Cleveland. The failure at Science
tady will be welcomed by peaceful citizens
as a sign that better judgment Is prevail
ing among the workingmen belonging to
the unions
Meanwhile trades unionists are thinking
seriously about the National Guard ques-
ton, as evidenced by interviews with them
In the newspapers. Two schools Of thought
appear to exist in this connection. Many
of the larger bodies have rejected the prop
osition that a man cannot be good union
workman and good citizen, ready to do
his full duty to state or country, at the
same time. Other organizations cling tena-
ciously, as in Schenectady, to the destructive
doctrine that man cannot belong to both
union and militia. Public sentiment is de-
cidedly averse to the latter idea. 1t is con-
sidered self-evident that antagonism to the
National Guard Is confession that union
ism may some day stand synonymous with
disorder and lawlessness. Thus It is posi-
BILE that the opponents of the militia may
eventually be forced out of their position
by being brought to face the charge of har-
boring destructive designs upon society.
One fact stands clearly in evidence in this
controversy; no union workingman who is
also a guardsman will ever be summoned to
oppose his fellow-workers unless they vio-
late the law. If trades unionism really
stands for lawlessness and smash the
surest means of confessing the fact is for
its opponents to raise squarely this issue
which the case of William Potter, the
Schenectady painter presents.

Richard Croker's Silence.

Not a word from Richard Croker since
the elections. That is to say, not word
from him has found It's way into print. Did
he grieve at the discontinue of David b.
Hill? Did he sorrow with Mr.. Coler over
the loss of the governorship? Did he re-
joice with Mr.. Murphy over the record
breaking vote that Tammany threw? This
is all left to conjecture. So far as the pub
lie Is advised Mr.. Croker Is occupied solely
with his dairy and his racing stable, and
has forgotten that in America here the peo-
pie rule.
But 1t Is a safe conjecture that Mr..
Croker got the election news promptly, and
by this time knows the whole story. He is
not a NOPE, and he has friends in New
York who keep him advised of every change
in the local situation. They are so familiar
with his interests, and so watchful of
them, that he Is not likely while on the
other side to be very long in ignorance of
anything he really ought to know.
The odds are probably ten to one that
the Squire of Vantage shed no tears over
the result. He likes neither Mr.. Hill nor
Mr.. Coler, and neither Of them likes him.
protege of Mr.. Hill In the state house at
Albany would have forwarded none of Mr..
Cookers schemes, but on the contrary
would have been on the lookout for the pur-
pose of knocking them on the head. Why
then should Mr. Coler's defeat distress
man who is in politics for revenue only?
Mr.. Cookers candor is his only redeeming
chars cteristic, and he has frankly confessed
in connection with a statement respecting
his political activity that he works for his
pocket all the time.
AS for the enormous vote polled by Tam
many, Mr.. Croker is probably not disturbed
by that. Mr.. Murphy is his friend, and one
of his proteges. Mr.. Croker taught him the
game and gave him his chance. Why then
should he be disquieted by Mr.. Murphy's
success? If he cares to come back next
year and take a hand in the mayoralty con-
test is 1t not reasonably certain that his
aid will be welcomed? If he remains in
England and views the struggle from afar,
is it not reasonably certain that his Ameri-
can interests would not suffer under Tam
many administration brought in under the
leadership of one of his old lieutenants?
Things look smooth enough for Mr.. Gro
ker all around. And appropriately enough.
He Is a very smooth man, and has for many
years pulled the strings with a very nice
eye to his own advantage.

that he can handle 1t as well as any law

The White Mans Party,
From the Chicago Chronicle.

As for reduction in the House of Repre-
sentatives from the south, the democratic
party should meet the issue with simple,
truthful straightforward declaration to
this effect: The democratic party Is and
always has been and always will be q
white mans party" That Is the sort of
plan which. in my opinion, will win votes
in this country.
Thus saith Senator Morgan Of Alabama,
who has been discussing the signs of the
times.
If the democratic party is to be solely a
white mans party the senator will have to
ADMIT that 1t Is hardly straightforward for
IT to profit by the representation in Congress
Of black men who are not permitted to
vote.
White mems parties should be honest and
fair. White mems parties should not vio-
late the law. White mems parties should
not insist upon speaking In Congress for
black men whom they disfranchise
II the democratic party Is a white mans
party it has no business to be in Congress
with representation from various south
ern states based upon black population
which Is denied its constitutional rights
