To Purify Tammanyp

A striking suggestion as to Tammany
Hall appears in today's New York news
pspers. This is that II fusion wins again
in November leading democrats OF the Town
will endeavor to effect such changes III
Tanlmany as will give 1t new name anu
meaning before the country. Ihey are
tired of a reputation spelling loot ana IL
cen:se 1t Injuries the party In local as
well as a national sense and they VIII
strive to correct the evil.
The Tammany problem is really re-
markable one. That the organization as
now officered and controlled is thoroughly
unworthy is testified to by many OF the
most substantial democrats Of the commu-
nity They view with alarm the proposition
to restore 1t to power They are working
with might and main to prevent such
thing Tammany in office means to them
far-reaching injury to the municipality.
And yet what of next year? Shall the or
ganization which is denounced as unworthy
TO control the mayoralty of New York be
permitted to decide the presidential cleo
ton? VIII men who refuse utilization with
Tammany this year march with locked
shields at Tammany side next year? New
York state will be fought for next year
with all possible vigor. The democratic
hope is in the city, and Tammany in a
democratic sense is the city.
Why, then, as Tammany is so essential
to the democracy in New York. and so
many democrats there are sensitive on the
subject of their associations. should not the
organization be purified? Why should not
a leadership of responsibility and character
take the place of the present leadership?
Why should not Tammany be made to stand
for the democracy of Charles S. Fairchild
and Edward M. Grout instead Of for that of
Richard Croker and Charles F. Murphy?
OF course if Tammany wins this year it
will be the same old Tammany next year.
Mr.. Croker will put his hennery. his dairy,
his kennels and his racing stable into the
hands of subordinates at Vantage, give up
for the time the pleasures of English coun-
try life. and return to the direction and the
rich emoluments of the wigwam. Business
at the old stand will be conducted in the
old way. and men who are antCroker now

fined and separated and much trouble has
been experienced in the count. 1t may be
necessary to submit some of the amend
ments to second vote. although this pro-
cess has proved very costly. The advocates
of the amendments are disguised with the
fiasco. laj.ning that II the propositions had
been subis.itted at the time of a general
election a much more comprehensive ex-
preston of public sentiment would have
been secured. On the other hand. it Is
claimed that it is better thus to submit such
proposals to the people separately from any
political canvass. SO that they may not be
tempted to trade.
The light vote is a commentary on the in
difference of the people in general to
changes In the fundamental law of the
commonwealth 1t is to be hoped that this
spirit may not spread. but that the voters
may be taught the Importance of keeping
thoroughly awake to every proposition to
amend the laws. These amendments are
much more important than the personality
of an alderman or an assemblyman chosen
for a brief term.

The Lake SUPERIOR Failure

The collapse of the Lake Superior com
pany. whose extensive works al Sault Ste
Marie have been the marvel of the indus
lrlal world for the past few years is at
tributed To reckless fnancierng and over
confidence on the part of the management
Money was poured into the treasury by the
tens OF millions, until the establishment
was backed by seemingly limitless capital
The projectors carried on their works with
a free hand. erecting pulp mills, steel mills,
electrical reduction works and what not,
until the plant covered scores of acres and
gave employment to upward of $500 men.
Some OF the industries Were profitable, but
others. equipped on a lavish scale. and with
apparently no regard for the small ecopo-
mics which mark the shrewd manager.
were failures almost from the start. The
proit-paying branches were compelled to
hold up the others. but the net result was
steady loss with consequent failure of
credit. until the other day the whole struc-
ture came down In enc piece The trouble
primarily seems to have been the over-con-
hdence of the management in the value of
the water power derived from the outpour-
ing waters of Lake Superior With IA
tuity remarkable in these days of careful
Investment the policy was seemingly adopt-
ed that every sort of industry which re-
quired power would surely flourish as long
as the water held out. But IT was found
that othe" conditions were requisite such
as good factory manipulation. rigid economy
in administration. and above all. steady
market -..-.

plants may be rescued and placed on a SUBJ

prove profitable to investors. A waterfall

Test of the Trusts.

From the Wall Street Journal.
The trusts are now undergoing supreme
test of their strength and their ability to
fulfill the economic mission assigned to
them. Their existence is explained to be
due to the imperative need of reducing
what is called 1.-The waste Of competition"
1t has been held that by lowering the cost
of production and eliminating waste and
imparting steadiness to rates and prices
that the trusts would be of the highest
possible benefit to the country. Moreover
1t has been argued that they would enable
US the sooner and the more effectually to
enter and capture the foreign markets
Lately the assertion has been made that
they would be a tower of strength to us
In any trade reaction. serving to keep the
reaction within reasonable bounds, and to
prevent any such decentralization in prices
and rates as have in former panics been so
disastrous Well. we have undergone a
severe liquidation in the stock market and
seem to be entering upon period of par
tial reaction in the trade. and the trusts
are therefore undergoing their first severe
test or endurance WILL they accomplish
what has been claimed for them?

The Swearing Habit.
From the San Jose Mercury.


The habit of swearing in public, or indeed
anywhere, is offensive and is usually con-
demned by the Jaws and police regula-
lions. though it has become so common as
to be almost national evil. The street
corner talk of loungers is often unfit for
the ears of decent people Men indulge in
the grossest forms of expression without
thought for the sensibiities of passers and
seldom do creatures of this ilk think to
lower their voices in the presence of women
and children. 1t would be well If an occa-
sional prosecution served the excellent pur-
pose of emphasizing the fact that society
holds to certain conventions as to speech
which cannot be lightly dsregarded.
