ANOTHER Foo1 nEmocp.q

The discussion on the introduction Of
Senator's Hoar's resolution of investiga-
ton into affairs in the Philippines shows
If there were ever any doubt on the SUBJ
teet, that the. administration of Prest-
dent Roosevelt will strenuously oppose
any such action. The spokesman of that
administration and the personal repre-
sentative of the president on the floor Of
the senate. the junior senator from Mas
saehusetts, showed clearly the position
which will be taken. Everything, we are
told, is being done just as it should be
done, and to inaugurate congressional
investigation would be reflection on +he
Philippine commission.
This is cheap line of argument; but
it was not so cheap that fool Democrat
could not be heard in sustalnment of it,
1t matters not to the country whether it
is reflection on the Philippine commits

A week ago today the Kentucky legis-
1ature selected as the representative Of
the state in the senate of the United
States one of the ablest men that ever
sat in congress. representing any con-
stituency or any party-James B. Nc
Creary. Mr.. McCreary served six sue
cessive terms in the house of represent

ernor he entered congress, twenty six
years ago, and from his entrance took
rank among the ablest men on either
side of the chamber.
There was no question in those days
as to the genuineness of Mr.. McCreary's
Democracy. There can be none today.
He fought the battles of the constitution
on the floor of the house in a manner
which entities him to rank in Democratic
history with Thurman, Hendricks, Ran

His services were lost to the country
through the discussions which prevailed
so long among the Democrats of his

TAMMANr,s NEW 1EADER.

A persistent and skillful effort is being
made to minimize the significance of the
selection Of Lewis Nixon as the successor
of Richard Croker as the leader of Tam
many Hall. All the preachings of the re-
formers in the past about the value Of
the scholar and business man in politics
seems to be forgotten by the professional
reformers, the imperialist type in New
York and elsewhere. They can see moth
ing in the election of Mr. Nixon, with
his grand record of intellectually and
business ability and success, except a
mere subterfuge of Croker and the other
Tammany people.
The public, especially the Greater New
York public is in no danger of misunder-
standing the event. 1t is one which
promises well for the cause of Democ-
racy all over the country as well as of
economical and upright municipal gov
eminent everywhere. When such men as
this can still be found who are willing to
take upon themselves the obligations Of
actlVe Ponticat lie, Inc SITUATION is GER
tainly encouraging.
One of the most sensible expressions Of
opinion made thus far on the subject of
Mr.. Nixon's selection is that made by
William Jennings Bryan to a representa-
tive of the New York Evening Post. He
said:
Croker showed excellent judgment in
selecting Nixon as his successor, as Nixon
is a clean man, has much ability, and Is
not associated with those who are in poll
itics for what they can get out of it.
Tammany will be a powerful instrument
for good In the lands of a man like
Nixon, who will work for the welfare of
the people. The choice will be applauded
by Democrats all over the country
Mr.. Bryan is right; the choice will be
applauded by Democrats all over the
country. It deserves to be.

The contrast thus represented in the
conduct of two senator's, one a Repub-

Democrat, is such as to disheacten the

merically. 1t deserves to be resented by
every Democrat in the country.

By virtue of it's tariff monopoly the
billion dollar steel trust is earning profits
at the rate of Sis, 900 900 annually. The
trust does this by making American
consumers pay $36 a ton for steel rails
which it sells to English and continental
buyers for less than SIS a ton Mr.
Schwab, president of the trust, who is
now gaining fame at the gaming tables
of Monte Carlo, testified that his COM
pany could make rails, pay freight to the
English market, and sell for SIG ton
less than half the price charged the
American consumer. AS the trust can
exact but $25 ton from European con-
sumers, it is a fair inference that the
manufacturers of England can produce
rails no cheaper than that sum; but our
home trust can produce them for less
than SIG. Yet there are those who de-
fend robber tariff.

RABBIT-RIDDEN CALIFORNIA.
Partly Due to the Recent Craze for
Belgian Hares and the COnse-
guent Over-ImpOration.

1t is reported that the importation of
Belgian hares in such vast numbers
threatens California with the same
danger which menaced Australia
They are overrunning the whole com
try to such an alarming extent that a
bounty has been offered in some coun-
ties for their skins.
This is due partly, says the New
York Herald, to over-importation and
partly to their great which,
by the way, reminds one of the small
boy, who, frowning over his school
task, wished he was Belgian hare,
cause he heard they multiplied rapid
ly."
AT any rate, they have multiplied too
rapidly for the peace of mind of the
California racher whose crops suffer
from the constant depredations of the
mischievous animals.
A way Out of the difficulty might be
suggested in recent statistical report
to the effect that millions of rabbits
are slaughtered every year in the Brit
ish islands and Australia for their fur,
which is used in making felt hats.
Tremendous numbers of these skins
are sent yearly to hat manufacturers
in the United States, after first being
sent to continental Europe to be
plucked of the long hairs which are
useless in felt making. This is done
by cheap hand labor, competent ma
chinery to perform that work remain
ing still in the limbo of the uninvented.
When the skins finally arrive here
they are shaved of their close fur,
which then goes to the felter. 1t sure
ly seems as if there must be some
economic method of bridging this gulf
between so obvious an oversupply and
an equally great demand for the home
product rabbit skins.
