New York. March 21-There is a
shadow on the wall down at Police
Headquarters. 1t darkens the atmos-
phere ABOUT Commissioner Partridge's
official desk. To a man with two eyes
it closely resembles an axe. If one
could follow the shadow indefinitely
he would probably find at the other
end of it a silhouette of Mayor Low,
in strained posture as one who
doesn't want to use the axe, but sees
no other way out of it. For Col Part
ridge, with all due regard to the fact
the Office of Police Commissioner of
New York, a monumental failure. Even
those who least wish to believe this
have been forced to the conclusion that
the sooner he is out of the position
the better it will be for all concerned.
What the place needs at this time is
q man with the purpose and vigor and
courage to do radical things. Com
missioner Partridge has done nothing
except what he has been advised to
do by those within the department who
control his acts. Under him the excise
regulations are matters of scorn to
every saloon keeper. Under him the
gambling houses and disorderly resorts
have free field; and, worst of all,
under him police blackmail and OPP
preston flourish as in the palmy days
of the old Tammany.
Bad advice is the root of Col Part
ridges inefficiency. When he went to
police headquarters he found there,
among the officials in high power, one
man who has the general reputation
of being square" OF this mans ef-
ficiency as an officer there can be nc
doubt. Against his honesty nothing
has ever been alleged. He was Roose-
velt's best advisor when that erratic
ordIHdtlcp out nuSLnng commissioner
held down the chair. 1t was generally
expected that Partridge would be
largely guided by what this exper-
fenced officer said in departmental
matters. But the new commissioner
has relegated him to the ash-heap and
has taken as his mentor one of the
shrewest, cunningest, slickest and
most unprincipled men in the depart
ment, master of smooth hypocrisy
and what this inspector says, goes
He is the power behind the throne
and as long as he is there to pull the
strings by which the commissioner
movements are directed. the Sinking
policeman, the department politician
and the blacknsailer have little to fear

blackmail, have not yet been caught.

SELECTING CANDIDATES.

Every Republican reader of the Journal
in the county and township should clip
the list of candidates printed in yester-
days issue and study il. IL they do and
make such inquiry as they should and
consult as wisely they should with
their neghbors and then go to the polls
and vote intelligently they may for
those names on the ballot which are those
of men of the best reputation, the Re
publicans of the county and township will
have a first-class ticket to ratify at the
election in November If properly Sc
lected a frst-class ticket can be made
from the names contained in the list; if
such a conscientious and intelligent Sc
lection is not made the Journal is frank
to say that ticket can be nominated from
that list which will be about as objection
able as can be named and which it might
be difficult to elect.
1t is no part of the Journals duty to
either point out the best or the most OBJ
jectionable. Character must stand for a
great deal, so that candidate who has
lived years in the county must be so well
known that the truth about his reputation
can be obtained. If he has been an upright
man and has a good reputation in business
he will make a good official if he has the
intelligence. Another thing. other things
being equal, should count for a candidate.
and that is the men to whom he makes his
appeals for votes. Any candidate who is
disposed to sneer at what is called 1.-The
better element is a good man not TO vote
for. since the large majority of the party
is the better element in the community.
Republicans go to a primary with pur-
pose to vote for the best men. 1t can make
little difference about the place their
names occupy on the ballot. With such a
purpose they will find the list or the name
that they regard as the most desirable.
The declaration of some aspirants' friends
that their favorites will stand a much
better chance if their names are first is
an imputation upon the intelligence and in
tention of the mass of Republican voters,
because it implies that in a thoughtless
manner they will vote for the first names,
no matter what they represent.
The primary of March Ia will be the
most important in the history of the
party, because il will be the first effort
to give intelligent voters an opportunity
to express their preference, and an hon
est effort to secure nominations by fair

Those Captains Of Industry"

New York Evening Post
Selection of the captains of industry
for the Prince Henry luncheon on Thurs
day has kindled more suppressed wrath
than any selected list since Ward Meal
lister innocently published in his book the
names of the captains of society. The
question when a commissioned officer Of
industry, to speak, becomes a captain,
and what shall entitle one of two men
to that rank, when both hold equal po-
sitions in the industrial world, has been
discussed with "A good deal of angry ami
nation since the luncheon and without
reaching very definite conclusions. A cap
tain of industry, if the Thursdays list be
any criterion, may be a banker, an in
ventor. a railway president a physician,
astronomer, a rear admiral, a Stats
ttcian, librarian, an insurance officer
OF a merchant. This is a sufficiently catholic
method of choice but the trouble was that
ii drew the line all the more severely
against a multitude of conspicuous men
in exactly the same lines of work, who, ma
turally, could not see what claim to cap
tainship their associates had which they
did not possess.
1t has not been possible to learn on pre-
cisely what basis or bases the line was
drawn, and no one has appeared anxious
this week TO ayow responsibility for the
construction of the list. The effort of a
morning paper some years ago to publish
in supplement the names of American
millionaires. with the estimated fortune
OF each, was recalled in the same cOnnec-
ton. In that case however, the number
of more or less INDECENT persons who were
promoted to wealth beyond the dreams of
aVarlce created an opposite impression
from that of the present week.

wireless System DimcuIties.

Butte Inter Mountain.
Marconi predicts that in six months time
wireless messages will be sent across the
ocean. The inventor has already started
to Canada from Europe and will make ar
rangements TO continue his experiments
from this side of the ocean. II is promised
that ordinary rates for the public will be
much lower than now charged by cable
companies. and residents Of both continents
will be given the benefit Of the system on
favorable terms. MarcOni's system may,
and doubtless will. have superior adVan-
tages over the one now in use, but IL is
not to be expected that the wireless teleg-
raphy will entirely supersede the cable.
The transmission Of the wireless messages
will. in the nature OF things. not be secret.
This drawback viii count immensely in IA

LEST WE FORGET"
Secretary Hays Impressive Reminder
to Opponents of Reciprocity.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
In reading the eulogy by Secretary Hay
of the late President, delivered before
Congress, the President and Cabinet, and
representatives of every branch of the
federal government at Washington on
Thursday, it could hardly have escaped
notice that particular stress was laid on
the last address of President Mckinley,
delivered al Buffalo the day befors he was
struck down by the hand of an assassin.
Secretary Hay made liberal extracts from
that part of the speech relating to more
liberal trade relations with other countries
1t was the only part Of the Buffalo ad-
dress from which he quoted. In the entire
eulogy there was no other quotation from
speech or writing of the late President
This singing out of group of passages
review of McKinley's life and character,
delivered before such an audience, was
clearly not without a motive The words
with which the extracts were prefaced
were significant, Lest we forget. Secre-
tary Hay evident disposition on
the part of some before him to forget the
counsels of that solemn farewell address"
He, therefore. reminded them first that
President Mckinley was "a Republican"
and a believer in protection to home in
dustTies," and that ii was a Republican
protectionist who gave solemn warning in
the last public utterance of his life that,
I'VE must not TepOse in fancied security
that we can forever sell everything and
buy little or nothing If such a thing were
possible it would not be best for US or for
those with whom we deal" 1t was this
Republican leader, past master of the
art of craftsmanship who said The
period of exclusiveness is past. The eX-
pansion of our trade and commerce is the
pressing problem. Commercial wars are
Improbable. A policy Of good will and
friendly trade relations will prevent re-
prisals. Reciprocity treaties are in har-
mOny with the spirit of the times; meas
ures of retaliation are not"
Before the orator of the day who quoted
these last words of their late party chief
sat members of the Senate who had stu
diously ignored the reciprocity treaties
President Mckinley had sent to them for
ratification. Listening in dumb disapproval
were the party leaders of the House who
have made it clear that reciprocity is to
them but an empty word and retaliation
the only valid excuse for changing tariff
rates. Mckinley. the builder of high tar
if walls, they understood and appreciate ted.
Mckinley, the past master OF the art OF
craftsmanship" urging the business-like
policy Of extending trade by Offering in
ducements is not to their liking. They
would like to forget him in that charac-
ter, and do not thank Secretary Hay for
his pointed reminder

SURPRISE OF THE STEEL TRUST.

The Iron Age. which has made thorough
the United States Steel Corporation. often
called the billion-dollar trust, as regards
production. comes to the conclusion that
in a thoroughly organized consolidation the
reduction of manufacturing cost is so great
as to be well-nigh revolutionary. The basis
of the savings is found in a uniform sys-
tenn Of accounting which makes COMPARE
sons possible. One organization through
which costs are studied consists of COM
mittees constituted OF the most capable
officers in the different departments of the
corporations service, the blast furnace, the
bessemer. the open hearth. the rod mill,
the fuel, the transportation and other func-
tions. Representing all of these branches
are the ablest men in them. The COM
parisOn of the cost is made, and the most
favorable is made the standard. When the
cost of any material made at any mill is
above the standard its workings are criti-
cally examined and the causes which en-
able one plant to produce cheaper than an
other are carefully studied. Thus all profit
by experience. This system puts every
mill manager on his mettle to do his best
The Iron Age makes the remarkable state
ment that in one department the cOnsoli-
dation has lowered the cost of production
100000 a year on the present output
This system furnishes an explanation of
the policy of the steel corporation in OPP
posing the advance in prices which the re-
markable demand for iron and steel would
warrant. At present prices the steel cor
poration has shown a capacity to make
satisfactory earnings. meet fixed charges
and pay unexpected dividends on its COM
mon stock. 1t is said that for concerns
producing less profitably than the billion
dollar trust the present average of prices
does not afford adequate provision for the
shrinkage of prices which must come sooner
or later 1t is not to be assumed that
worldwide benevolence is the motive which
animates the steel corporation in it's hold
ing down prices. but that its purpose is to
embarrass competitors, thus offering little
inducement TO capital to build new plants.
The billion-dollar steel trust has, how
ever, surprised the public and at the same
time COMPOUNDED it's prophetic foes. 1t has
not advanced the prices of iron and steel
when the conditions of the market would
warrant it, but has held them down. 1t
has set about tc make remarkably large
dividends by the exercise Of the utmost
economy in production. 1t has told the
world of its business the past six months.
1t is a wonderful story, but its triumph has
been attained by refusal to advance prices
because of great economies and immense
output. 1t has not attempted a monopoly.
but by holding prices down it has dis
couraged investment i'm new plants.

years has been an advocate or economic

South Carolina may be made to pay for

way the State will feei more keenly than
it would feel any personal punishment of
it's senators. The lesser boorishness of
Lieutenant Governor Tillman is causing a
strong feeling in the North against par
t.cipation in the Charleston exposition.
Several clubs and bodies that were going
TO take part may refuse to do so. IL is
probable that many intending Individual
visitors will stay away. 1t is highly inn
probable that the President will go to
Charleston after what has occurred. though
il is said he will not formally refuse. Pres
idents are getting to be fatal 10 expositions
McKinley's ASA ssination made Buffalo a
