4 CAMPAIGN OF ABUSE.

Newspaper readers have thus far look
ed in vain for an intelligent statement of
reason or reasons why the opposition to
the existing city administration should
succeed.
Instead of argument that opposition
has substituted an abusive cutlery. The
cry Of ''the gang" is the corner stone of
their campaign. On this they have built
up an edifice Of yelled SANDER and deliber-
ate and misleading falsehood. Charges Of
election frauds, combined with dishon-
est pretense, exposed by the responsible
representatives of their own party. that
the tax rate has been increased through
eXtrava gance, complete the entire cleo
ticneering structure they have erected.
It is impossible to argue when ones
opponent resorts merely to the methods
of the fishwife a foul mouth discloses
a weak cause.
Every intelligent person, no matter
what his politics may be- recognizes the
truth that the opposition must show af-
f1rmative reason why it SHOULD receive the
popular support. 1t may do so either by
disclosing the wrongdoing of those in
power, or the superior claims of it's own
adherents.
Of course in every campaign, whether
local, state or national, men and parties
are driven from power chiefly through
the establishment to the public satisfac-
ton of their misconduct in office. If
Democrats had to meet such a claim,
honestly stated, there could be no com
plant. But the only effort made in that
direction thus far has been to show that
the increased tax levy is due to the ex-
travagance of the administration. That
claim has already been disowned by the
more scrupulous of the adherents of Mr.
Doran.
The fact that the Dispatch gives over
its news columns to securing currency for
an exploded election fallacy merely
proves it's own dishonesty. Such method
of electioneering may deceive the foolish
and be acceptable to the ignorant and
GIISCIupulOuS II is D6LSdIu Inc COulGLpI
OF persons of ordinary intelligence.
7 h G o b in sober earnestness asks
the opposition to state it's platform-to
offer, even in outline, an intelligent state
ment of the grounds on which it seeks
control of the city government. Let it
state something tangible. Its newspapers
have not done so. Nor have it's orators
Ours yelp by instinct. Yelping is not to
be silenced by argument.

CAN 4 BULLFRoG cArcH 4 BIRD

CAN BULLFROG CATCH BIRD?
The great war between Republicans
and Democrats as to tariffs and trusts
and colonial policy has suddenly dropped
to position of mediocre interest. The
clash over the color question which is
about to break forth among the wom-
ans clubs Of America at Los Angeles
has become a mere tempest in teapot
A problem Of paramount interest has been
thrust in a night into the great arena
of public discussion. The question "Can
a buIlfrog catch a bird?" looks easy, but
it isn't anything of the sort Anyhow
thirty-odd Audubon societies are in the
midst of a quarrel which threatens to
disrupt families as to whether a batra-
chan can actually leap from the water,
seize swallow in flight, kill it and eat
it. The discussion isn't confined to any
one locality, but bird-protecting socie-
ties from Boston to Denver are talking
themselves black in the face on the sub
ject.
William ]. Long, clergyman and stu
dent, is the person guilty Of precipitat-
ing the trouble. Mr.. Long isn't an am
ateur long-range talker, either. Every
year he goes into the wilds Of some sec
ton of the country, lives among the
animals and comes out and writes about
them. What he says is usually taken as
a va Irah1a addition, to orni+l,o1o,ioo1 - i
other animal lore. Mr.. Long tells two
stories with great wealth Of detail of
how he, once in the twilight and once
IN broad daylight, saw frogs dart straight
in the air from the water, seize and de-
stroy swallows in fight.
This time, however, Mr.. Long fails as
woefully as the man with the early
spring fish story. Dozens of people,
some with little and some with much
scientific knowledge, arise to put scien-
tific stumbling blocks across the path
Of the preacher. One Of these calls at
tention to the fact that a swallows flight
is like the passage of light for sWiftness,
and that to catch the bird the frog would
be compelled, like the sportsman when
shooting duck, to hold about ten feet
in front of its prey to bring it down.
In other words, the frog from behind a
pad of lilies would have to watch for
the coming of the swallow and make his
leap just in time to bring about a close
connection between his mouth and the
flying bird. Another, a school principal.
actually had the audacity, wnen told the
story, to make no other answer to it than
to shrug his shoulders.
A large majority of the people seem
inclined to announce that they are from
Missouri and want to be shown. Tt is
therefore apparently incumbent on the
Rev. Mr.. Long to bring his batrachian
fowler and his swallows out into the
open and give a demonstration before a
set of judges, a portion Of whom shall be
chosen by those who doubt his ability
to prove his contention.

ing that is not reasonable. They ask that
there be established certainty and uni
formity in the time of their working
hours, and that promotion be cstao-
lished on some rational lines, sucl as
duration of service or otherwise; and
that as, there is a minimum standard
of compensation, there should also
be maximum standard. This
standard, they think, ought to be
fixed at some figure which viii give them
the assurance, which they have not to-
day, that they may not have to work
to old age for the government without
ever having had a suAciently liberal com
pensation to enable even the most frugal
of them to secure a competency in their
old age.
1t is a scandal and injustice that con-
gress should continue to ignore the just
demands of the postal clerks and mail
carriers.

Catch up heart and feel a leapiug life

Ihen the summons of the morning like q
bugle moves the blood
Then the soul Of men grows Iarocr like
flower from the bud;
For the hope Of high Endeavor is a cor
dial half divine,
And the banner cry Of Onward calls the
laggards into line.
There is glamour Of the moonlight when
the stars rain peace below,
But the stir and smell Of morning is a
better thing to know;

transported by dreamy song

WITHOUT A CHIEF

Resembling OF P.evious Order Prevents
General Miles From Acting-Slight
to Commanding General.

There is considerable speculation at
the War Department as to who will act
as Secretary of War pending the return
to Washington OF Assistant Secretary
Sanger. who has been detained in New
York by the illness of his wife. The
War Department was without a Secre-
tary yesterday, but Mr.. Schofeld. the
chief clerk. signed requisitions on the
United States Treasury under a special
designation made by Mr.. Root before he
left.
General Miles was at Leesburg, but
viii be in the city today. and in the
natural order Of things would be Act
ing Secretary of War. but there is very
little likelihood that he will be so
designated by the President a this time.
Previous executive orders under
which General Miles acted as Secretary
of War during the absence of the Sec
retary and Assistant Secretary were
Cancelled several weeks ago by The
President, and there is row no pro-
vision for meeting contingency such
as now exists. General Corbin left
Washington last night for an extended
tour OF the middle West, and it is PROB
able that General Carter will act as
Adjutant General during his absence.
officers at the department say that it
would be a direct slight to General
Miles If any ether officer we're detailed
TO act as Secretary CT War. The mat
ter has occasioned much discussion at
the War Department. and the Presi-
dents settlement CT the matter is
awaited with considerable interest.
