On the day that Congress adjourned
for the holidays the House aassed
a resolution calling for information
respecting the salaries and expendi-
lures of the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion. The information will be submit
ted as soon as the session is resumed,
and it will be likely to cause a sensa-
ton. The commission is headed by
Rear Admiral John G. Walker. and
one of the members is ex-senator
Samuel Pasco of Florida. The act
creating the commission appropriated
$l,000000 for salaries and expenses.
The commission has been in existence
three wears. During this time Presi-
dent WdN2er has drawn $4,000 year
as his sWlary and the members $4,000
a year each: all of this i'm addition TO
clerk hire and incidentals. 1t will be
remembered that Senator Morgan
made speech shortly before the adj
journment In which he charged that
the commissioners had spent only
few weeks at the site OF the canal and
had generally done mighty little for
their money. Now the question is. who
is responsible for the creation OF these
sinecures3

President James, of the Northwestern

THE rARIEE TIE REAL ISSUE.

In a notable interview in the New
York Times a day or two ago, Senator
Vest of Missouri takes the position
that the greatest danger to the repub-
lie at the present time is lin mbina-
tions of capital that have monopoly
for their object" He regards trusts
with more apprehension than any other
one thing.
And he believes that the only way
to reach trusts is through the tariff.
Take the protective principle out of
the tariff and the power of trusts to
do harm would be greatly lessened. He
has no sympathy with those who take
the position that there is no reason to
think that trusts are a menace to the
republic. 1t is true, he says. that
there are trusts in England, and they
do not depend upon a protective tariff
fer their existence. The sources of
supply of the few articles in which
there are monopolies in England are
limited. and for that reason trusts
have been able to get control of these
articles There are no trusts there,
however, controlling articles of gen
eral consumption. In this county the
tariff assists the trusts in becoming
monopolies.
Senator Vest takes the position that
trusts cannot be reached by means of
the Sherman antitrust law, that Con-
gress cannot enact law that will
reach trusts and that there is no
probability of a constitutional amend
ment giving Congress authority over
trusts. because the states would not
ratify such an amendment
The only thing left to do. therefore. if
it is the intention to make war on
trusts-the trusts that are seeking to
monopolize the products in which they
are interested-is to attack them
through the tariff. There is no prob
ability, however. that the Republican
party will disturb the protective prin-
ciple in the tariff In fact, it says that
it does not intend to do anything of
the kind. Its course in tariff matters
during the last few years indicates
that it intends to stand by that prin-
ciple. Even Mr.. Dingley, the author
of the tariff which bears his name. ad-
mitted that the tariff rates were too
high. but said that they were placed
high jim order TO afford room for ne
gotiating reciprocity treaties. Such
treaties have been negotiated, but not
one of them has been ratified. 1t does
not look as if it were the purpose of
the Republican party to ratify any
treaty of that kind unless it be one
with Cuba.
If trusts are to be shorn of their
power, therefore, the tariff must be put
on strictly revenue basis, and in or
der to give the country such a tariff
the control of the executive and legis-
lative branches of the government
must be given to the Democratic party

He Refuses to Write.

That man can successfully conduct
vast business for number OF years
without writing or signing a letter
seems to be incredible In this age OF
universal letter-writing, but 1t Is said
that j. Edward Addicks, who Is presi
dent of a dozen corporations, never
writes or signs a communication of ans
description.
Some years ago Mr.. Addicks, accord
ing to the story, wrote hnsty letter to
an old friend and business associate
but, by some fortunate accident, 1t was
not mailed. The next day the injustice
of the letter was so strongly impressed
upon his mind that he vowed that he
would never write another letter.
He has telephones In each Of his four
homes, In those of all his confidential
agents and employees, ana In the private
offices of all Of the many corporations
with which he Is Identified, and all are
paid for by him personally, and all are
supposed to be for his exclusive use.

The Sidewalk Nuisance,

The Senate yesterday passed a bill amend
ing the law relating to the removal Of snow,
ice, ETC.. from sidewalks in this District
which should be pressed through the House
at this session. even though there Is no great
probability that there will be any occasion
for Its application before spring opens, as
far as the results Of cold weather are con-
cerned. The new bill carries provision
for practically permanent fund to enable
the Commissioners to provide clean side
walks for the peoples use. even though the
owners or occupants Of the adjacent prem
ises neglect to attend to this simple duty
All previous attempts to give the Commits
sioners this power have proved unavaiIing
because OF the lack Of immediate means.
even though the statutes authorized the
cleaning by the Commissioners of the
walks In front Of the premises OF delin-
quents and the assessment Of the cost
against the property. With fund Of s., 600
in hand at the outset, and maintained
from time to time by the assessments levied
against the property Of the delinQuents 1t
should be possible for the authorities to
make better showing In this respect than
under the existing laws.
This proposed law relates not alone to
snow and ice. but to sand. gravel and mud.

The President and Gov. OdeII.

The presence of Governor Odell in Wash
ington and his interviews with the Presi-
dent have given rise to some interesting
speculation. 1t is understood that he is a
| candidate for denomination, and it is re-
ported that the situation is not as serene
as it might be in the republican organiza-
tor in New York. And SO we have the ru-
mors that the governor is seeking the Pres
iGent's active aid. that the President is be-
Ing advised in some quarters not to give it
and that as a result democratic prospects
for success in New York next November
are very much improved.
The Importance of the coming state cleo
tion Is recognized by both parties. The re-
publicans are very anxious to hold their
own for the effect in 1904. while the demo-
Gratis are one and all of the opinion that
IL they are able to elect their candidate for
governor they will be able to name the
party's next candidate for President. The
race therefore will have national bearing.
and this fact is likely to bring out a very
large vote.
Those who think 1t would be unwise for
the President to become active in the prem
ises point to the race of 1889. when Judge
Folger was advertised as the national ad-
ministration's candidate for governor, and
NstS diSdStfouSiS DedleIl. lie people, IL IS
asserted, resented the interference and
made their feelings felt at the polls. 1t is
worthy Of note, however, that Judge Folger
suffered not SO much because of President
Arthur's interest in his campaign, as be-
cause his nomination had been secured by
the influence of forged telegram. Neither
the candidate the President had known
of the fraud, but the effect of it could not
be obliterated and the candidate was pun
ished. The probability is that had Judge
Folger's nomination been without taint the
re puhlicans would have carried the state
and subsequent history. state and national
been very different from what has been
written.
Governor Odell stands in no such relation
to the gubernatoral nomination this year
as Judge Folger Cid then He is asking an
Endorsement of his administration, and pre-
sumably. 50 far as the nomination is con-
cerned, he has his case we'll in hand. As
for the Presidents position in the matter
1t would be most surprising If his sympa-
thies did not so out strongly to his partys
ticket. His personal friend will head 1t,
and his own fortunes will be in some meas
ure affected by the outcome; and besides
he is citizen Of New York. Why should
he not give his friend and neighbor and
fellow-citizen counsel and support at such
time?

A Note Of Warning.

Mary Anderson has written the preface to
the forthcoming autobiography Of Clara
Morris, In the course Of which she pays a
glowing tribute to that actress, pronouncing
he; ''the greatest emotional actress she
ever saw. and adds this significant warning
to stage-struck girls:
Il hope she who writes this work Will
help to stem the tide Of girls who so blindly
rush into a profession OF which they are
ignorant, for which they are untitled, and in
which dangers unnumbered lurk on all
sides. If with Clara Morris power and
charm SO much had to be suffered. what is,
what must be the lot OF SO many medi-
ocrities who pass through the same fires
with no reward in the end?"

The Norfolk Strike,

The street car strike at Norfolk seems as
far as ever from settlement. The cause Of
the trouble is somewhat unusual. The en-
ploying company proposed that all Of its
men should be bonded for the faithful per-
formance Of their duties and the protection
OF the property of the company, making
each emp1oye responsible for accidents.
This measure. II strictly enforced. would
put the poorly paid employees to an expense
out of proportion to their incomes, espe-
cially as 1t represented the incurring Of
heavy liability. A certain percentage Of
accidents can be properly attributed to the
carefessness or inefiiciency OF motormen
and conductors. But 1t Is a fair assump-
tfon, based upon close observation Of the
records, that the majority Of accidents re-
dect in no degree. or very slightly, upon
the car crews The over-cautious street
car man is often less useful to the COM
pany, however satisfactory to the public,
than the ordinarily careful or even reck-
less man. In many cases he cannot pos
sibly comply with schedule requirements.
It Is a well-known fact that some sched-
ules call for constant violations Of the
speed laws of the cities. 50 that the motor
man is often compelled not only to risk
arrest. but to cut close to the danger line
In order to avoid a reprimand or fine or
dismissal for tardiness.
Under these circumstances 1t was not a
cause for much wonder that the employees
OF the Norfolk roads demurred when the
company demanded that they sign bonds.
Whether they were justified in carrying
their objection to the extent Of a strike Is
q question wholly outside Of the merits

of the controversy between the company
and the operatives. In ordinary lines OF
endeavor. beyond the range of organized
labor, when an employe becomes dissatis-
fled with the conditions of his employment
he usually leaves and another man takes
his place. But under present industrial
conditions this simple process Is impossf-
bic when the line of labor has been or
ganized. The dissatisfied worker claims
not only the right to quit work, but to pre-
vent others from working in his place who
are willing to subscribe to the conditions
which have provoked him. The process
ramifies widely and dangerously. In Nor
folk it Is now placing the lives OF wholly
innocent people in jeopardy. 1t Is paralyz-
ing business, injuring the credit Of the
community, and causing a disturbance
from which the business interests cannot
recover for months
In a deadlock Of this kind the rights Of
the community undoubtedly rise higher
than those of either side. An arbitration
of the troubles by chance body, hastily
organized for the emergency, seldom avafls
to stop the trouble. There is lack of
legal power to enforce the decision. The
solution of these difficulties. to be effective,
must be through agencies which not only
command the entire confidence of the COM
munity, but which have the power, through
the courts and the processes Of execution
to enforce their rulings. In the absence
of such a method. the unjust demands Of
either corporation or employees, the whims
of agitators or the unwisdom of leaders or
managers may at any time precipitate riots
upon peaceful community and inflict
damages from which it may with difficulty
recover
