serious to permit those who have lost vast
sums-the Texas loss this year is estimated by
the Congressman from that State at from $780,,
100000 to $50.000,OO0-to find any comfort in
the inhiction. Yet it may be blessing in dis
guise provided effective means to combat the
disease are discovered and employed. Not to
the South merely, but TO the whole country, the
destruction of the cotton industry would be
an incalculable blow; but if temporary loss and
the necessity for continual fighting of the pest
lead to better farming methods the lesson will
be worth the cost. The ease with which some
sort of a cotton crop could be gathered from
an impoverished soil without decent cultivation
has been the bane OF large sections of the
South 1t encouraged shiftlessness and retard-
ed mental and moral progress at the same time
that it led to poverty and put the community ut
the mercy of one crop. The South is capable
with proper farming Of producing far more cot
ton than it ever has raised and at the same
time, a diversity of other crops, safeguarding
farmers against accident and improving their
farms. 1t may take the shock OF disaster to
awaken the Southern people as whole to this
fact though their leaders have long understood
it. If the necessity of fighting the boil weevil
to escape starvation turns them to intelligent
modern agricultural methods. they will be the
gamers in the end, even if they have to keep up
the fight for years. Northern farmers have
had to combat the Colorado beetle Pests, after
all, are a great incentive TO thorough farming.

nesses, Justice Ingraham among them, have
agreed that the habitlal reversal of decisions
by appellate courts or account of trivial errors
is a serious evil In his address before the
American Bar Association TO which we nave
referred, Mr. Choate declared that a new trial
should never be granted. even for manifest
''errors. when il is clear that no positive harm
has resulted and substantial justice has been
done" That. it may be said, would leave too
much to the conscience and discretion of appel
late courts but it does not appear TO us that the
additional burden would be dangerous to them
or 10 the public. The present presumption
necessarily is that they are deserving OF i'm
plicit confidence. OF many of the recommended
tons to which the commission is listening II Is
probable that nothing more viii be heard. But
this general confession of the delays which re-
suit from reversals on immaterial rulings seems
hopeful. and we trust it may lead to much
needed reform.

THE DUSK OF WILLOUGHBY STREET.

That smooth and sinuous politician Patrick
McCarren has wrested the crown of machine
leadership from the veteran Hugh Mclaughlin
in the Kings County Democratic organization.
1t was a singular coincidence that the decora-
lions in the Brooklyn Academy of Music which
had been set up on Monday morning for the
McCarren dinner became prey to the flames.
while McLaughlin's household goods were in
danger and were narrowly saved from destruc
ton. McLauShlin's day as Il power in politics
is done. McCarrens star rises as McLaugh-
Inns sets. McCaTren's career the Kings
County Democratic Boss will be watched keen
ly by the members Of both parties in Brooklyn.
McCarren has at least the outward aspect Of
a lath painted TO look like irOn-to famous
phrase Of Bismarcks He is shrewd and subtle
as a local commander of political centuriOns
and of Long Island legions. Nevertheless he is
plainly inferior to ex-Boss Mclaughlin in pru-
dence discretion and foresight. The former
autOcrat OF Willoughby Street hardly ever visits
a racecOurSe and never bets on horses. No
one is more assiduous in his attendance upon
the races than McCarren has been for many
seasons, and his wagerS have been large and
almost incessant He has been, in fact turf
"plunger" with passion for risking his money
thoroughbreds which even Richard Croker
never surpassed
Now that McCarren has relieved Mclaughlin
of the cares and responsibilities which rested
upon the bowed shoulders of the Atlas Of Will
loughby Street he may be expected to take a
more serious view of life. He may cast the dust
of the betting rings from off his feet and labor
nightly To convince his party associates on
Long Island, and in every part of the State Also
that as Democratic boss he can prove his ca
pacity so thoroughly that none of the men who
now turn to him their official head will have
occasion to regret the retirement of the patri-
arch Of Brooklyn's auction room.
