attempts TO promote legislation In their own
favor which their department chiefs do not ap-
prove. II forbds army and navy officers 10
engage in politics. There is a growing tendency
20 break up all organizations OF civil servants
designed 10 enforce demands upon the admin
istrative departments, prevent all self interested
agitation by government employees and conhne
their efforts for betterment 10 humble requests
TO their superiors., In some departments even
securing request for promotion from outside
is considered insubordinate
That is not the attitude which labor unionists
would have an employer take toward them.
They do not want 10 be subjected TO any dis
cipline or 10 have their right to speak for their
members ignored. They want TO treat with en-
ployers on equal terms, but the government can
never treat with them. If the mines were con-
roled by the government and a strike came
there would be no arbitration there would be
no parleying, with attempts 10 cripple the col
lieries and force terms. The whole power Of
the nation would be used to carry on the gov
eminent business and crush the man or organi-
zation trying TO block it. When in Chicago
strikers interfered with the carrying of the
United States mails it was the United States
Army. under a Democratic President, which put
them down. The United States is not accus-
toned TO being trifed with, and the labor union
that enters a contest with it will find that the
people will never tolerate the operations of their
government being held up by strikers any more
than they ever have tolerated their being held
up by rebels. When the contest is between
labor union and private capitalist popular
sympathy naturally leans to the worker. When
il is between a union and the nation it will in
evitably be the other way The unionists who
make the government their employer may Sc
cure some temporary gains through politics, but
in the end they will put themselves completely
in the power of a stern bureaucracy. They will
be unable 10 control the industries managed by
the government, and government independence
will be an example 10 private employers which
will prevent the complete unionizing OF other
industries.

TREATIES AND TIE HoUsE.

With the rejection by the Landsthing OF the
treaty ceding the Danish West Indies 10 the
United States speculation on the attitude Of the
House Of Representatives concerning apprOpria-
tions TO pay for them becomes superfluous.
Nevertheless some questions Of history and
constitutional practice have been raised in the
discussion which it is important should be set
right, and we refer TO them not in a spirit OF
controversy or from any desire 10 vindicate our
superior accuracy in a matter about which mis-
takes are easy. but merely to get at the truth.
Commenting on the Danish treaty 1.-The New
York Evening Post" says:
In a recent article on this treaty we said that
even If Il were ratified by Denmark a vote of our
House Of Representatives would still be neces-
saEy carry il into effect. since il required an
appropriation of 100000. and that the House
might refuse. The Tribune. in an article COM
batting this proposition. said: Never vet has the
House failed 10 redeem the honor of the nation
obligations whether it was pleased with the
treaty not" The Tribune had forgotten the
treaty Of reciprocity with Mexico negotiated
during the administration of President Arthur,
ratified by the Senate. and rejected by the
House on the 29th Of January. 1888.
The Tribune was misunderstood. We did not
combat a proposition that the House might
refuse the appropriation, but that it should do
so. We clearly stated that the House had
power 10 refuse appropriations and thus pre-
vent the operation OF a treaty and disable the
country from living up 20 bargains which il
was morally bound TO observe. The Evening
Posts" proposition was that the Christmas
intrigue should be made the occasion by the
House for refusing 10 pay the stipulated price
for the islands and so breaking the contract,
and The Tribune took the position that any
misunderstanding caused by Christmas and his
impudent claim had been cleared away and
the honor Of both countries had been vindi-
Gated. Then we said that the House was in
good morals bound 10 pass the necessary laws
TO keep faith with foreign nations according TO
treaties made by the constitutional treaty max
ing power Ii is we'll settled that treaties call
Ing for payments from the Treasury are not
self-executing but must be followed by legis-
lation The point at issue was not the power
OF the House, but its duty.
Many treaties have been made by the United
States, and one might easily be forgotten. but
SO Tar as the reciprocity treaty with Mexico
goes The Tribune was not mistaken in saving:
never yet has the House failed TO redeem the
hohor or the nation and pass the necessary
laws 10 meet treaty obligations, whether IL
was pleased with the treaty or not" That
treaty laid no obligation on the House. for il
was tentative agreement, containing the
special stipulation that il should not he effec-
uNe until necessary laws to carry IL into effect

New-York tribune., 1902-10-25
HAPPY FELIX

II we are not mistaken about his record Mr..
Felix McCloskey has repeatedly been convicted
Of being an uncommonly bad political prophet
Perhaps it is because he has the courage of his
convictions that he now emerges TO view in his
familiar role with this categorical prediction:
Mr. Coler will be elected by 35. 900 majority.
He will carry greater New-York by 100000;
.'New-York County by 10000 Kings County by
'.22, 900, Queens by 1000, Richmond by 1900,
suffolk by 100, Westchester by 1000. Erie by
5000, Albany by 5000, and will reduce the
Republican majority in Monroe County 10 al
most nothing" Now, there is something about
that declaration that We like. 1t is so careless
OF the future. If McCloskey had merely re-
marked that everything was lovely and the
goose suspended at a satisfactory altitude It
couldn't have done him any damage after the
election, for nobody would have remembered
what be said long enough 10 make note of It
But McCloskey particularly invites all con-
cerned to paste the figures in their hats and
make a monkey of him on November IL he is
wrong.
There is another reason for enjoying the prog
nosticatiOns of Felix. They are so reminiscent
of happy campaigns gone by. when Democrats
OF great renown as cool and resOute prophets
felt victory in their bones right down TO the
closing of the polls only TO be stricken with
palsy about midnight; and so we love 10 hear
McCloskey chortle in his Joy. But what the
Hon. Frank Campbell will say about II is an
other matter. The Democratic chairman lately
announced officially that nobody at headquar
ters would be permitted 10 utter a word about
the business in hand; that IL was going TO be
from that moment a campaign of impenetrable
silence. Yet McCloskey, who comedies that he
has access 10 the archives, not only gives these
momentous figures away TO the newspapers, but
swears that he has the documents 10 prove
them. We hope it can't be possible that there
is treachery in his heart and that he hopes 10
be the means of reviving that martial lyric
with the soul stirring chorus:
THROW him down, McCloskey,
Shall be the battle cry;
Throw him down, McCloskey,
You can lick him II you try;
And future generations.
With wonder and delight,
Shall read on History's pages
OF the great McClOskey fight

THE SAVINGS BANK TAX

To The Editor OF The Tribune
sir | beg 10 call attention 10 an error In your
issue OF October "a You quote statement from
the Democratic committee. which reads:

tors OF the savings banks of the State during the
tW9 w years Of Governor Odells admnistraton 81

banks originated with Governor Odell. was urged

Upon this your comment is as follows:
The impression created by the statement is that
T ueposltors OF the banks lose all that the State
colects IN taxes. AS matter OF fact, the tax Is
on the surplus accumulated by each bank. This
surplus Is of benefit 10 the depOsitors. and II IL

Inc last sentence Is incorrect. The surplus IS OF

labor UNIONS AND THE COAL PLANE

LABOR UNIONS AND THE COAL PLANK.
The Democratic coal plank was loud bid for
the labor vote. When Mr.. Coler entered the
race on a platform advocating national owner
ship of the coal mines organized labor was at
odds with the owners of those mines, and II
was believed by Mr.. Hin that promise to give
the uniOIists a new employer would be a good
expedient 10 catch votes. Circumstances have
changed since then. This socialistic and revo-
lu1Onary scheme has been so widely denounced
by Democrats that Mr.. COer has felt II neces-
sary 10 face both ways, and, while declaring
that he accepts the platform, suggest that con-
demnaton of the mines is not just yet advis-
able. Moreover, in complaining against alleged
Republican tendencies 10 deprive the States Of
their proper functions. be set up In his speech
on "Wednesday evening standards of govern
ment by which the coal plank would be utterly
condemned. Mr.. Hill declares that he stands
firmly by the coal plank. but 10 Judge from the
evasions Of his Wednesday speech he has con-
cluded not TO ALLEVIATE conservative Democrats
by longer insisting upon il, but TO leave the
demagogic promise 10 do what work il will
among the members Of the labor unions.
Perhaps il will accomplish something among
them IL they do not think through the propo.

working The equality of ali men before
the law is a fundamental principle Of the GOV
ernment. The private employer can If he
chooses, confne himself TO the employmen+ os
union men. The governmentcan inquire only into
a mans fitness for work, and cannot discrim,
nate between union and non-union men. Gov.
ernment managed industries would doubtless ha
thrown into politics. and for a time az least
efficiency might be sacrificed for votes. hut IN
the end the government would be the absolute

UNDER THE HUDSON.

In the murky recesses of the old North River
tunnel work has been resumed It will be a
difficult and costly task to pump and dig out
that water-soaked hole because so many
blunders and accidents were made in attempt
ing TO carry out the original plans. Some lives
were also lost by mismanagement and INSULT
cient precautions in the years past The money
resources OF the projectors and investors We're
exhausted. operations We're abandoned, and the
halfway excavations were left to the mercy of
the waters.
American engineering Is so resourceful and
has been crowned with such memorable tri-
umphs over formidable obstacles that IL is al
most a certainty that the old Hudson tunnel will
be completed and made safe and useful al
though the necessary outlay will reach big
figures. The new Pennsylvania tunnel from the
border OF our sister State will be planned and
followed out by the latest and most efficient
methods. Since the old water-logged bore from
New7Jersey was in fits opening stage tunnel
making through great mountains and under
broad rivers has achieved n progress that
seemed impossible in the nineteenth century
The new tunnel linking the two States whose
interests are closely allied is likely 10 he put
through promptly and 70 be so constructed that
It will he model for future engineers TO copy.

ican States" Similar stipulations have been
made in other reciprocity treaties. The Marcy
FIgin treaty of 1854 with Great Britain pro-
vided. "Tbe present treaty shall take effect as
"soon as the laws required to carry 1t into
"operation shall have been passed by the In
.neriaI Parliament of Great Britain and oy
1.-The provincial parliaments OF those or the
British North American colonies which are
affected by this treaty, on the one hand, ana
"by the Congress of the United States on the
"other" In another article provision was made
for the regular ratification. with which TINS
prospective legislation had nothing to do
Either Great Britain, a Canadian province, or
the United States might have prevented this
treaty from becoming effective. as either the
Mexican or American government could make
ineffective the treaty of 1883
The good faith of the nation is not pledged
TO the carrying out Of such conditional agree
ments. There is no contract which another
nation lives up to and then finds our House of
REPRESENTATIVES refusing to give due cOmpensa-
ton in return. Denmark, for instance. agreed
TO regard the sale complete Immediately upon
exchange of ratihcations though the money
need not be paid and the property formally
transferred for three months. She was TO begin
withdrawal of troops and might have had them
all away before that time, and IL would have
been had faith for US, after the sale was COM
plete by action of the authority constitutionally
empowered to accept a ceSsiOn of territory, TO
refuse TO pay the money and make the transfer.
Such bad faith has, as we said, never been
forced upon the nation by the House through
fractions exercise, on its undoubted prerOgative,
OF a voice in the spending Of money, and it is
to be hoped for the good name of the country
that It never will be.
