THE REAL FIGHT ON JOHNSON.

One Of the first acts Of Mayor Tom Johnson
OF Cleveland was TO bounce the citys tax in
quisitor, an official employed to look up false
assessment returns and unpaid taxes, and install
one more 10 his liking The new inqusitor with
less than weeks experience IN the Office has
discovered that $iz43s73s had been secretly
way gas and electric light companies OF CIeve-
land, as back taxes, Il was found that this
amount had been accepted by the former tax
officials in full OF all claims against the COM
panics.
Mayor Johnson charges that the whole affair
was a deal between the former county auditor
and former tax inquisitor, Henry Morgenthaler,
and the companies by which these public service
companies save Si,ooo,ooo in back taxes. The
papers OF the agreement have been drawn by the
best legal talent in the city He will however,
endeavor to have this agreement set aside He
says these companies owe ST. 100000 back taxes
and i IS going to be collected if possible.-Forf

And this is the secret Of the real opposi.
tion to Johnson in the late campaign.
His single tax notions and his circus per.
Torrance had their effect. to be sure, for

But underlying this prejudice and more
potent than anything else was the resolution
OF money bags of all sorts---in the demo.
cratic party, too--to down the man who had
shown that he would catch the tax dodgers
and make them pay.
Johnson is in a position to know Just how

FoR eRgATeR AousroN.

The movement inaugurated in Houston
last Thursday afternoon looking to the or
ganization of a corporation for the promo
ton Of manufacturing plants and other in
dustrial institutions in Houston is in the
right direction.
Indeed. it IS something that should have
been done long ago.
It is unnecessary here TO recount or to
argue the practical things possible of ac-
eomplishment by well directed organiza-
ton of this character. Every rejecting citi-
zen must recognize them, and must admit
the entire utility of the plan outlined at the
first meeting.
The question is, will Houstons monied
men and large property owners take hold
of it?
IN a word, viii they turn to and help make
the town grow?
The plan proposed in outline and general
ly speaking is all right, but If there be
reasonable objections to particular features
they can be met and overcome by the stock
holders when the organization is perfected
Candidly speaking, It is not the purpose t
get up any catch-penny or boom affair, bu
on the contrary to build an institution found
ed upon the plain principles of business an

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AND MEDICINE.


The Post has respect for every form Of
Christian faith and would oppose to the ut
termost any limitation whatever upon Chris
tian ondeavor within the sphere Of moral
or spiritual things
But Christian Science has invaded the
sphere of material things and undertakes
to heal physical diseases. To avoid con.
troversy il may be conceded that Mrs Ed
dy. the founder Of this cult has discovered
the psychic secret Of matter But she has
never made it comprehensive to any scien
tific mind and after two or three decades
Of the practice Of her principle By herself
and thousands OF her followers no material
progress has been made in the cure Of
human ills outside their own ranks-and
even the Christian Scientist will acknowl-
edge that testimony and experience under
such circumstances are unconvincing.
Meanwhile, by its fruits we know that the
science Of medicine has made progress.
Antitoxlne has reduced the mortality in
diphtheria; sanitation has rendered smallpox
comparatively harmless; yellow fever has
been practically conquered; the X.ray has
made surgery exact in diagnosis, tuber.
culosis has been identified as a germ and its
rayages have been greatly decreased. These
are established facts which no sane mind
will dispute.
Mrs. Eddys psychic secret is imperative
/ upon the general mass of humanity
Medical science is a proved system o.
progress,
Christian Science as healing process
beyond certain forms or phases of hysteri;
and nervousness, clearly demonstrate un
der simple laws of nature, like therapeutic
hypnotism and animal magnetism-has beef
tried and found wanting.
But the followers of the faith have beef
carried away by their own doctrine and ar
attempting things which Christ himsel
never did except by way of teaching a les
son or demonstrating his Godship
And It is time to call halt.
Scarcely day passes without recording

THE MINORITY LEADERSHIP.

The fact that over a year must elapse be.
fore the converting OF the Fifty.eighth con
gress does not seem to prevent the waging
of very warm contest for the speakership.
Already the fight has been carried to a
point which indicates that Representative
Cannon OF Illinois will be Speaker Hender-
sons successor. Representatives Dalzell,
Littleheld, Payne, Sherman and Baboock all
show elements of strength, but the general
belief seems to be that unless something at
present unforeseen occurs the victory will
go to the so-called watch dog OF the treas
ury"-otherwis the chairman of the appro-
pristions committee.
So long as a republican is to be given the
position the PROBABLE identity Of the success
ful man is OF no unusual interest to demo
Gratis. The democrats win have little con
test Of their own to settle, and while it
seems that they are not going into the
fight quite so early as their opponents in
the house, it is apparent that the scramble
for the position of minority leader, so far
as the members Of the minority are con
eerned, win be regarded as being OF greater
importance than the race for the speaker
ship.
The Post believes that it is perfectly JUS
tined in saying that Representative Richard.
son Of Tennessee will not be chosen to sue.
coed himself as leader 1t might as well be
admitted that Mr. Richardson's administra,
ton he's not been a success. His official
sins, both Of omission and commission, have
not been few, and there have been times
when it seemed as If he was by no means do
ing all he could do TO serve the best interests
Of his party. Mr.. Richardson is not overly
popular among his colleagues, republican OF
democratic, and if adyices from Washington
are to be believed, the chances are largely
against his being again chosen to lead tn,
minority.
