IT is now time FOR the Herald
to upset the early laid plans of
ambitious machine politicians by
the ghosting of its campaign intro
ductory primary election law
ideas, that in the past have been a
thorn in the flesh Of the gang who
barter state nominations for pat
ronage, for Legislative favors or
cold cash. It will be bad day
for the North Dakota bosses when
Winship's primary law ideas be-
come applicable in a practical
manner.

COMBINE BENEFITS GERMANS,
j. p. MorRan's Shipping Trust Dom.
mated by TeutOn Lines.

Berlin, April 2S.--Herr BALM, di.
rector general of the Hamburg Ameri-
can line, and Herr Wiegand, director
general Of the North German Lloyd
line, are reassuring the perturbed
shareholders of their companies that
when they see the text of the agree
ment of the Anglo-American shipping
combine it will be perceived that the
German lines instead of being over
reached by ]. Pierpont Morgan have
really strengthened their position enor-
mOusly.
The conditions of the contract leave
the German lines free to expand, guar
anteeing for Il period of years the GER
tainty Of good dividends. The Ger.
man newspapers have been reproduc-
ing New York dispatches giving the
view that the combination has thrown
into American hands tie mastery of
the transatlantic traffic. Statements
issuing from Bremen and Hamburg
give quite different idea. These point
out that one side of Mr.. Morgan's com.
bination consists of young American
lines and the other of old British lines,
which are generally being forced into
an inferior position by the German
lines, which for the past six years have
almost doubled their passenger and
freight traffic. largely at the expense Of
the British lines.
The latter were forced to do some
thing to meet the German rivalry, and
Mr.. Morgan had fairly easy work in
bringing them in as a whole The ag-
gregation does not equal the tonnage
of the two German companies, and Mr..
Morgan had to accept the terms laid
down by them.

The Real Anti-Imperialists.

In announcing an anti-imperialist meeting
to be held in New York state dispatch

perialist movement was dying out. but these

pears. The men who are pushing 1t have
leisure and means and taste for that sort
of thing. They are not identified with

plish through the medium of cards to the
newspapers. Anti-imperialism Is simply

Municipal Reform.

From the Atlanta Constitution,
Recent discoveries of boodleism in north
ern and western cities are stimulating fresh
interest in the problem of how to get city
government in a shape that will minimize
the power Of councilmen and other city Off
Gals to make common merchandise of the
peoples rights and properties. Franchises,
contracts ard privileges are too often trad
ed in for the private profits of the official,
and things that should be sources of reye-
nue. to the public treasury are sold to cor
porations for a price and exploited in a
spirit Of pure piunder of the common peo-
pie. 1t is easy enough to say that only hon.
est men should be elected to important Of
fees, but who would have questioned the
honesty of those officials who have since
been found derelict and debauched? Doubt
less. the people believed they were electing
honest men when those since developed ras-
Gals were chosen. II would be most discour-
aging, indeed, to believe that the masses Of
Cleveland. st. Louis and Minneapolis DELHI
erately elected known thieves for council

Judge Taft Leaves Rome.

The courtesies and assurances exchanged
between Judge Taft and the pope at parting
afford strong hope of success at Manila
when the negotiations about the friars are
resumed. The representative Of the Vati-
can is yet to be named, but whether 1tal-
ian or American. whether a champion of
the religious orders or not, he will take up
his work with the understanding that the
foremost feature of the American case calls
for the retirement of the Spanish friars
from the archipelago. We may believe
therefore that this will be accomplished.
and that the field will be clear at a reason
ably early date fer prelates of American
training and sympathy. With such in
charge of the Roman Catholic parishes
which under the frfars were SO seriously
mismanaged the cause of order in the
islands under American authority will be
strengthened.
Both Judge Taft and the pope complained
of the Misrepresentation to which the ne
goiations at Rome had been subjected for
sensational purposes. Both were we'll with
in their rights in doing so. Some rather tall
yarns were sent out at the expense of first
one side and then the other. The Vatican
was accused of playing papal politics with
the question at issue and this government
with bullying the Roman Catholics in the
interests of a Protestant propaganda in the
Philippines. AS result some of the COM
ments on the negotiations, and especially
in Europe, have been wide of the mark and
ridiculous. For instance, the Paris
Temps contained this observation:
Notwithstanding the courteous language
used by beth sides, the Vaticans reply to
Governor Tafts last note is tantamount to
a rejection of the American offers. which
amounted to nothing less than the con-
clusion of an indirect concordat with the
United States. The signature of such q
convention would have given the apost oiic
delegate in Washington a sort of diplo-
matte exequatur, permitting him to confer
directly with President Roosevelt or the
government without the intermediary of an
American citizen, such Archbishop Ire
land.
The Vatican in refusing to lend a hand
in the gradual expulsion of the congrega-
lions from the Philippines has at the same
time stff1ed the germ of an American con-
cordat, which would have been triumph
for the policy the pope has seemed so ar
IDENTIFY to pursue since his advent"
Diplomatic or political relations between
this government and the Vatican Were never
for moment contemplated here. They are
impossible. Had the pope signed without a
moments hesitation the terms as to the
friars proposed by this government no So
called concordat would have been estab-
lished. The apostolic delegate at this cap
ital would not have received "a sort of
diplomatic exequatur." \ successor to Car
dlnal Martinelli is shortly expected here
but his status far as this government is
concerned will be precisely what his prede-
cessor's was. That is to say, this govern
ment will not know him officially at ALL
He will bring no letters to u.s. but will
enter exclusively upon the discharge Of
church business.

The Sohdity of Governments.

The London Spectator pays the following
tribute to the wonderful solidty of British
Institutions"
Almost in silence without a jar. with
no uproar in parliament and no popular
demonstration. the command of that huge
barque. the British Empire, has been trans
ferred from one hand to another. The ship
moves on uudisturbed- The crew are all at
their stations; there is no sign of alarm,
thought that the course should be al
tered, the speed decreased or the destina-
ton changed. 1t Is marvellous testimony to
the order which reigns on board, and all the
more so because the captain who has dis
appeared was no more than a tigurehead.'
Equally wonderful seems to be the solid
ity Just now of the institutions of all the
great powers.
A few years ago the president of France
was Killed by an assassin. He was strong
and much beloved man, and the French re-
public had been rated little inse-
cure. Any fear for the state was soon dis
sipated. The new president-a capital Sc
lection-was inaugurated. and the republic
today is still fiourishing.
Later came the tragedy in Italy. A sover-
eigu who. largely by reason of personal
popularity. had firm grip on his people
fell s. victim TO assassination, but beyond
the grief at his loss not a tremor shook the
tried and unknown in the world of affairs.
took the reins and everything went on as
before. italian institutions stood the shock
admirably.
Our own latest trial came only last year.
Never was RAN in high office better be-
loved or trusted than Mr.. Mckinley. His
large experience and his clear head were
the foundation of many hopes. With him in
chief command everybody had confidence.
An assassin struck him down, but the state
at once took the oath of office and the pub
lie business proceeded No tumblins of
prices in the markets; no disorder among
the people. Even the wretch who had
plunged the country IN grief was tried and
put To deserved death without haste or ex-
element The new President found the in
situations of the country in excellent work
Ing order. and he had but to take up his
own duties to send everything along in its
regular channel satisfactorily.
Where then is the Indispensable man? In
what country and under what form of gov
eminent may he be found? Where among
the important powers is a government which
is not strong enough TO sustain the loss of
It's principal agent and representative? And
what lesson there is in all this for the
anarchists. if they had but the capacity or
disposition to learn anything about the
means by which the political world goes
