SEEKING A LEADER.

The search for a leader for Tam
many to succeed Lewis Nixon has not
as yet been successful. The suggestion
of John f. Carroll, who was largely
instrumental in ousting Nixon. that no
leader is needed. is not acceptable. 1t
is suspected that Carroll is planning
to get the place himself. However,
there does not seem to be much pros
pect that he will be successful.
The man most in favor is George B.
Mcclellan. at present member of Con-
gress from one of the New York city
districts. He is young, able and pop
ular, and withal a shrewd politician.
He is a close friend of Mr.. Croker In
deed, he owes his advancement to
Mr.. Croker If he We're to be given the
place it is probable that Mr.. Croker
would still be the power behind the
throne. one of the reasons for Lewis
NiXons failure was his desire to be in
dependent
But has not MIR. Nixon made it al
most impossible for any one like Mr..
Mcclellan to accept the place? He did
not say much, it is true. on his retire
ment but he left the impressions from
things which he did say that TO rule
the organization successfully it was
not possible to take as high d posi-
ton as he aimed to take. The chances
therefore for a man possessing high
ideals of becoming a successful boss of
Tammany, are not it would seem,
very good. Perhaps Mr.. Mcclellan
viii ponder this carefully if offered
the position. Mr.. Nixon seems to have
increased the difficulties in the way
Of filing it.
1t is of the greatest importance from
political standpoint that Tammany
shall get into shape for the fall cam
paign as soon as possible. The Re-
publicans are sure they will carry the
state because of the disorganized con-
dition of the New York city Demo-
Gratis. II Tammany remains without
"a leader very long there is no doubt
that the chances Of the Republicans

be otherwise.

President Eliot was arguing in favor
of education by Showing how" before
the kindergartners Wednesday night,
says the Boston Journal. He said that
he was learning something every day
by being "shown how"
He Illustrated his point by describ-
ing the training of medical students,
and concluded by telling of an old
friend of his who had suddenly become
deaf in one ear.
How did this happen?" 1 asked him.
We'll l was blowing my nose the
other day, when l felt something snap
in my ear. followed by an aching and
dullness.
when the doctor came he said the
drum had split and asked how l did
it.
~ only blew my nose I told the
doctor.
"'Wen. had you opened your mouth
when you blew your nose you would
not now have a damaged ear drum,
was the medico's reply"
You see, my friend had lived sew
enty years and had never been shown
how to blow his nose" concluded Pres
ident Eliot. The application was ap-
preciated and greeted with a great
burst of laughter.

ANOTHER PENSION SCHEME.

Why every person who served in the
Union armies during the Civil War
should have a pension is one of the
things that is past finding out. There
are those, however, who favor a SER
vice pension, and there is a bill pend
ing before the Pension Committee of
the Senate, in which it is provided that
every person who can show that he
served in the Union armies shall have
a pension of one cent a day for every
day he was in the service-that is those
who served only one year shall have
$685. a year. those who served two
years shall have $3.50 and so on.
OF course the amount is not large,
but doubtless it is made small in Or
der to encourage the passage of the
bill. But it would be a mistake to sup
pose that it is the purpose of those
behind the bill to be satisfied with any
such a service pension as that. Hav-
ing got the bill through providing for
1 cent a day the demand would al,
most Immediately be made for an in
crease in the amount. 1t would be said
that the amount was ridiculously
small-so small, as to be unworthy of
so great a government-and the poll
ticians in Congress being afraid of
losing the soldier vote would imme-
diately proceed to vote to largely in
crease it. Before the country was aware
of it the pension burden would be in
creased many millions of dollars an
nually.
This pension business has become
almost a national scandal We do not
think the Union veterans are behind
all the schemes for securing pensions.
The pension attorneys are the ones
who suggest the pension legislation,
and then get a percentage of the vet
Grams to endorse the bills.
The number of pension bills-private
pension bills-which is passed by Con-
gress every year, is enormous. These
bills. for the most part, have been re-
jected by the Commissioner of Pen
sidns. And the pension laws are ex
ceedingly liberal, giving every veteran
a pension who is untitled for manual
labor or who is needy. and still there
is dissatisfaction. And there will al
ways be dissatisfaction because the de-
mand for pensions is something that
cannot be satisfied.

THE PUBLIC NOT CONSULTED.

The Springfield. Mass, Republican
comments at considerab bic length on
the fact that neither the coal barons
nor the coal mine strikers have given
thought to the injury which the
strike does the public. That is very
true, and what can the public dc
about it? The coal barons are look
ing out only for their own interests
and the strikers are thinking only of
themselves. In the meantime the price
of coal in New York city has been ad-
vanced 81 per ton and there is prom
Use that it will advance another 81 in
the very near future, if the strike con-
tinues.
The coal barons take the position
that they can do as they please with
the property which belongs to them
and the strikers say that it is their
privilege TO work or not as they please.
There ought to be power lodged some
where, however, to adjust labor trou-
bles which threaten to bring distress
to hundreds of thousands of homes
and injury to vast interests which are
in no way connected with the parties
10 the lTOuDieS.
We do not undertake to say which
party is in the right in this coal strike
We only know that the miners have
said that they would be satisfied with
a ) per cent. increase in wages and
have expressed their willingness to
submit the differences between them
selves and the coal barons to arbitra-
ton. on the other hand the coal
barOns have CURLY refused to concede
the demands of the miners or consent
to arbitration. They take the position
that they granted an increase of
wages in 1900, and have continued that
increase ever since and that if they
were to grant the increase now de-
manded they would have to increase
the price of coal.
But what the public wants to know
is, who is protecting its interests? The
oftener that question is asked the
greater the probability that eventually
the government will take hand in
settling labor troubles.
