Gov. Hogg Trying to Hedge.

Governor Hogg seems to have discovered
the error of his way in London, and to be
seeking to regain the lost paradise of JEFF
fersonian simplicity. The cable makes him
protest strongly against court dress at the
kings reception and TO be willing to fOregO
attendance at that function rather than
robe himself la the fashion required. That
is all very Well. and will impress the folks
II Texas most favorably. But how will he
aIswer for his popularity with the nobility.
and for dining with the kings secretary and
the paymaster to the royal household!
Those are no ordinary offenses for a man
Of his tastes and professions, and he may
be certain that they will cloud his fame.
1t was a sad day for him indeed when he
strayed. or for corporation purposes sought
the path, into those forbidden circles.
Moreover. granting him full credit for
drawing the line at court dress, how did
il come about that he was seeking the
kings presence? What was the king to
him. or he to the king, that he should de-
sire to bow before him? Why. if it had
been permissible for him to appear in a
suit of blue jeans, with his trousers tucked
into rawhide boots. should this hater of
monarchiaI conventions and ceremonies have
desired to present himself on an occasion
to offend his eye and do violence to the
severity of his personal feelings? The king
was not I'm his line. and he should have
known it. The simple fact that he wanted
to meet the king, and instituted inquiries
as to how the royal presence might be
gained, will very properly tell against him
upon his return home when he is called
upon veraciously to relate the story OF his
travels.
There are so many bluff. ruddy beefeaters
In England. who think business. talk busi-
ness, and do business in plain everyday
style, 1t Is a wonder that Governor Hogg,
with reputation to protect, should ever
have gone outside that circle. They are
alive to good things in the investment
line, and would probably have jumped
at an opportunity to be admitted to
the ground gush Of these Texas bor
ings. Why did he not give them the
preference in his offerings? But, II we
may believe reports, he made straight for
the nobility and the members of the kings
household, as any American inperialist
would have done. and cut the masses for
the classes. He deserves his fall. which is
sure to be a hard one. For however much
oil stock he may dispose Of in England he
can never again hope to play with the old
time effect the role Of "Old Homespun" in
America.

Control of the Next House.

Control of the next House of Repre-
sentatives is an important political consid-
Grafton. and both parties are preparing lof
TIE battle. The contest promises TO oe
spirited Speculation as to leaders is al
ready rife. Conducting a national congress
sional campaign is almost as dlfhcult as
conducting a presidential" campaign, anu
calls tor very much the same talent Inc
man should know the country, public men
i'm every section of the country, anu now
to utilize all the forces that enter into
everyday politics He must be judge both
Of when the iron is hot and OF how to strike
And he must nerve himself to do with q
minimum of sleep for at least three months.
The republicans have something more at
stake than the democrats. They are in
power and have been for considerable
period 1t seems a long time since Judge
Crisp held the gavel. and William L. Wilson
vas the leader on the floor. Reed and
BirgIey. Henderson and Payne. when
linked together reach for quite a distance,
and one general line of policy has been
followed. If therefore the republicans
should lose next fall the result might be
taken as indicating a turn in the lane lead
ing up to democratic occupant of the
White House. The people would be asked
to believe that the republicans were now
.'out OF it," and would be advised to pre-
pare for a new order Of things all around
The effect would undoubtedly be felt in
1904 if it did not turn the scale that year.
Democratic control of the next House
would impose responsibility in the way Of
outlining party policy. but nothing more.
The Senate would he a bar to any legisla-
tlon except the regular supply bills. Still
the country would expect suggestions as to
the Philippines, to trusts. and as to the
tariff If the House did not formally in
dcrse scuttle the issue of Imperialism might
be impaired for the presidential campaign.
l. 1t merely renewed denunciation of trusts,
that issue would at least not be strength
ened and II it's deliverance on the tariff
failed to emphasize the Mckinley issue Of
reciprocity the republican hesitation on that
subject would not sufficiently be utilized.
Upon the whole therefore We are ap-
proaching a campaign of unusual interest
and Importance: and. early the time is,
the two parties are showing wisdom i'll
clearing decks for action. and calling every
body to a due sense Of what lies ahead.

A Great Corporations Fine Showing

The annual showing of the Pennsylvania
railroad discloses a prosperous condition.
which is creditable to the management Of
that great property and encouraging to
those who look to see 1t continue its pres
ent policy of terminal improvement In
various large cities The purpose of the
corporation to adopt the most modern
methods of handling traffic at the import
ant points along its route, notably at
Washington and New York. will call for
an enormous expenditure. but 1t is evident
that the company is under such a careful
yet enterprising management that there
will be no lack Of funds to conduct these
projects successfully to an early conclu-
sion. The report indicates a vast RESPONSE
biity centering upon the few men in
charge of the intimate affairs of the cor
poration, and once more evidences the
broad public spirit which animates Mr..
Cassatt. the president. His Interpretation
of the true relationship between the rail-
read and the public has already led to the
adoption of a policy with regard to the
capital city which, In it's full execution,
will establish valuable precedent in the
future adjustment of the joint concerns of
railroads and people.

Rabies.

The development of single fatal case Of
what the physicians suspect at present to
be hydrophobia furnishes no reason what
ever for alarm In this city. There are fea-
lures Of the case which on the surface give
rise to the suspicion that a mistake may
have been made in the diagnosis, as for In
stance the rapidity with which the disease
developed after the bite Is alleged to have
been inflicted. The failure to discover the
rabid animal Is also suggestive Of possible
error. OF course the taking of bacteriologi-
cal cultures is demanded by the first prin-
ciples of precaution and the result of the
tests will be awaited with keen interest by
the residents of the District. When rabies
developed here few seasons ago the
thOrities acted with such promptness and
thGroughL-ss that the outbreak was quickly
checked and beyond the inconvenience to
dog owners, who were compelled to procure
muzzles for their pets no material harm
was inflicted after the first cases Of the
disease had been treated. One consequence
Of the wholesale attack upon the ownerless
dogs of the District was that the canine
population was largely reduced, and for this
doubtless a majority of the people were
thankful. The danger Of future trouble was
thereby unquestionably greatly lessened.
1t may therefore be expected that in view
Of that experience should the case now un-
der consideration prove to have been genu-
Inc hydrophobia similar precaution will
again be taken. The muzzling of the dogs
which are sufficiently esteemed by their
owners to warrant their preservation imme-
diately draws a line between those that
may be killed and those that should be
preserved When the former disposed
of by the poundmaster and the dogs are
almost exclusively muzzled it is clear that
there are very few chances of rabid ami
mails biting people or other dogs. The loss
of a few hundreds of these creatures to
the community is nothing compared with
the loss Of a single human life. 1t Is of
course to be hoped that no recurrence of
hydrophoba Will occur. and that 1t will be
proved by the tests that the physicians were
mistaken in their diagnosis Of the disease
which caused the death yesterday.

over he could not have found a better man

than Judge Taft
At the time he was requistioned he was

The governor of the Philippines must be
a man of great practical Judgment; he
must be free from the allurements OF
power. for the possibilities Of the misuse
of power there are illimitable; he must be
man of winning personality and a good
judge Of human nature; he must thorough
iy understand American institutions and
yet be familiar with international law; he
must be profoundly practical to handle the
practicalities, yet appreciative OF the hu-
manitarian side of the situation. So, TAX
ing all these things into consideration. the
President called Judge Taft to the place.
His record has been searched with a
microscope by those who are opposed to
the expansion policy of the administration
They have questioned and cross-questioned

through the long siege, answering cour-
teously even the political questions. He
perhaps has realized that this was part of
his duty as trustee for the American peo-
pie. For, after ALL he has not been In the
Philippines In his personal capacity, but
as the representative of the mass of the
citizens who spoke their minds in the last
national elections.
No more significant indication Of the
frankness and honesty Of the man could
be found than his downright statement to
the committees of Congress that in his
opinion it would have been better for us
not to have had to take the Philippines
burden: that Is, better from material
viewpoint. But, if we can succeed in the
task and add to the civilization Of peO-
pie, we will be repaid

To patter through the trees
