BEFORE the new Constitution went into
oocration the street car companies here
furnished free transportation to the mem
bers of the Board Of Aldermen and Cop-
mon Council; also to many other city Oh
1cials. Now the Constitution puts pro-
hibition upon all that sort Of thing and the
question arises ought not our municipal leg
islators be recompensed for their expen-
ditures in going to and fro upon city bust
ness?
To this interrogatorv we think there
would be quite a unanimous aye, II IL
were put TO a popular vote, provided, now
ever, that the privilege is to be confined
10 Councilmen and other persons who are
serving the community without pay.
Those gentlemen, it would seem, ought
at least to be saved harmless Of expense.
AS things stand now. they either have to
wear out their shoes walking, or must pay
car fare from their own pockets.
Tho problem has been. and is. how TO
arrange this matter without infraction or
evasion of the provisions of the Consttu-
ton, and how to limit the list of persons
to be thus privileged. Without a doubt
these are important matters.
1t is understood that the street car COM
panies here will sell a badge to any one
emitting him to free transportation Tor

and proper for the city to buy these
badges for Councilmen. has been referred
to the city attorney for his professional
opinion. AS to the other difticulty-who

the Council once opens the privilege to paid
officers, it viii let IN a Trojan horse ana
bring great trouble upon itself AS for

NOT ENCOURAGING.

There is nothing encouraging in the coal
strike situation. President Mitchell, it is
believed, has not responded favorably to
use his influence to get the miners to re-
sumo work pending an investigation of
the issues by commission. Thus another
hope of the suffering public seems DOOM
ed to appointment.
Meanwhile. reports from the meetings
being held in the coal fields. are all Of
one tenor. and that is that the men con-
tinue TO be well organized and are de-
teTmined not to yield to the opera tors
This would seem to discredit pretty thor
oughly the claim of the latter that the
men have in large part been terrorized
into idleness and that with military pro-
lection in the fields there would be no
trouble in mining sufficient coal to supply
the public need. The operators have been
assured military protection or their pro-
perry and OF such men as may desire to
so 70 work, yet there is no sign of weak
ening on the part of the strikers, and
there are no developments tending to con-
firm the claim of willingness to work.
So whatever expectations the confident
assurances Of the operators may have
raised, appear also doomed to be dashed.
And so further we have again to face the
question what will be the next step and
1t Is before us in more pressing form than
ever, for almost hourly the situation is
becoming more distressing. At this writ
ing no one seems to have any clear Idea
what 1t will be. but there is no confusion
on the point that it should be decisive. and
that somehow the intolerable conditions
must be Immediately ended. The disap-
pointment over aIitchelIs presumed

THE TRUE POLICY.

The New Orleans Picayune strikes the
nail on the head whendt says that II the
Democratic party is ever to win another
national victory. it must make piae-
form which will deal exclusively VIII
living issues, and which will not new
.ably exclude any considerable part OF
any of its normal strength from It's actlFe
membership Then our contemporary
clinches the nail when it adds that
Moreover the policy Of the party ehould
not be shaped to meet the requirements
of any particular leader If there is any
man in the party so welded to ms own
views that he cannot stand upon any
platform that has a chance to win, he
must understand that he cannot be per-
1nitted either to lead or to name leader
for the Democracy"
That way lie party unity and harmony
conditions which will enable the party TO
attract to it the dissatisfied elements in
the Republican ranks, and triumph. Nor
do we have to look to the future for the
development of some, at least. of the live
issues on which the Democracy must
make the fight Some of lnem are with
US now. Indeed the chief one is Will US
now, and it is the tariff issue. Opposition
to a protective tariff has always been a
cardinal principle of the Democratic par
ty, and therefore the tariff can never be:
come a dead issue so long as the party
is true to it's traditions and its heritage
But owing to its relations to the trusts
the tariff is to-day a more vital issue
than It has ever before been at any time
in the history of the country; and IN all
the circumstances the demand upon the
Democracy to press 1t as duty TO Inc
masses, is greater than at any time IN
the history of the party. 1t is living
burning issue, that both in the interest
of the party and the country at large
should take precedence of all others. and
be kept to the fore front from now until
the next national contest. If this snail
be done, and there shall be grouped
around the tariff issue other existing
living issues, and such new ones as may
arise, Democratic victory In 1904 is as
sured That is unless we choose as a
leader some man who has been promi-
nently entangled on one side or the other
with the dead issue that divided the party
in the last two presidential campaigns,
or permit some such man to dictate lead
ership. If the policy outlined by our
New Orleans contemporary is pursued
there should be no doubt as to another
Democratic national victory-and that,
too. in the next presidential election.

King Edward and Newspaper Men.

No monarch, according to IN. A. p
has shown warmer appreciation Of news
paper power and OF newspaper men than
King Edward. There are quite a num-
Der of the latter who can boast of his
personal friendship and are able to show
trinkets which he has given them as SOU
venirs. Several, indeed, belong to his i'm
mediate circle, notably, Sir Billy Rus
sell, the veteran war correspondent of the
Times, who was once attached to his
suite as honorary private secretary, and
has still, I believe, the right to wear the
household button when in court dress. King
Edward until the time Of his accession
to the throne, was in the habit of paying
an annual visit to Sir Edward Lawson,
the editor and proprietor of the London
Daily Telegraph, as sort of recognition
fol the support which that paper had CIV
en- to his own and Queen Alexandra's
charitable enterprises. At least two dozen
newspaper editors were knighted by Green
Victoria at the suggestion of the King,
several newspaper proprietors have receiv-
ed baronetces and one, Lord Glenesk, has
received peerage.

The big supply of coal ordered from
Wales by Mr. Morgan "for the poor of
New York. is not to be a charity offer
ing, it seems. A representative of Mr..
Morgan's is quoted as saying:
cit would not do at all to give the coal
away, for the American people do not
like to be the objects of charity, or to be
classed as mendicants. 1t will be sold.
OF course, you must understand that there
are many details connected with the trans
action that have not been worked out as
yet and that much that has been decided
on is merely tentative But unless the
distress should be so extreme by the time
the coal reaches here that 1t would be
better to distribute it broadcast without
price it will be sold to all who want to
buy"
This seems the better plan, as is
stated.
