Devery, the Chief of the Bugs

Unless present signs fail New York will
not lack amusement in the mayoralty cam
paign soon to be opened. William 8. Dew
cry, former chief of police and unsuccessful
applicant for membership on the Tammany
Hall executive committee. has practically
announced his candidacy for the head of
the municipal government. His avowed
purpose is to do Charley Murphy the
present leader of Tammany. His platform
is comprised in the phrase. "A chapct fer
de downtrod." BY that term he includes
the poor of all classes. the unfortunate
grafters well as the honest paupers
Devery has organized club and opened
house which Is a marvel of frankness in
decorations and a JOY to the thirsty and
the weary. The organization is known as.
the 'Devery Bugs" the bug being the
patron insect of the club. 1t crawls every
where in the ornamentation of the house.
The badge of the members is a pump up
the side of which a green bug is making
Its way. Herein lies clue to the signifi-
canoe of the bug. Devery's street head
quarters for some time past have been at
certain corner. alongside a hydrant or
pump" Heretofore the Deveryites have
affected the pump as an emblem But Dev-
cry is nothing If not expansive and now he
gestion in the fact that his audiences at
the pump. where he has been wont to hold
forth in the vernacular at night, have stead
fly grown. So he develops the idea of the
likeness between this growth of his party
and the increase in the numbers of the
vermin around the hydrants and names
his followers bugs" Devery evidently
does not pause to consider the wider sig
nihcance OF the likeness between his coterie
and the vermin of politics. swarming
around the leaks and cesspools. big BIZ
cares no Jot or little for esoteric meanings,
so long he can hear the cheers of the
gang and pay for the drinks of a lot OF
lusty throated men who can be relied on
to vote industriously on election day So
Devery is to launch forth as a candidate
He has plenty of money and unlimited
epithets Last night he paid his compii-
ments to Murphy in the following Ian

r The inquiry into the methods OF the coal
trust is proceeding with signs of success.
There is no doubt whatever in the minus
of the people that, although the several
coal mining and carrying roads are not
definitely incorporated into distinct trust,
they are associated in working agree
ment" as fagrantly opposed to the public
welfare as the beef trust proved to be
year ago. The denials of President Baer OF
the Reading do not shake this belief IN the
slightest His testimony before the Inter
state Commerce Commission few weeks
ago amounted to a defiance of the pubic
and the law and it has deepened the pur-
pose of the advocates of the regulation OF
the trusts to bring the offending corpora
tons to book. The schedule of prices. call
ing for an increase in the coal rate or ten
cents a ton a month for several months. IS
not justified by the circumstances, and Is q
direct proof of the existence of the same
sort of agreement as that against which
the Chicago injunction has just been issued
in the beef case. Further advances there
fore in the line of governmental regulation
and relief may be expected shortly in this
instance unless an unexpected kink In the
law is encountered, to set back the pro-
gram.

Regulating the Trusts.

Matters are unquestionably on the move
in the direction of the restriction Of the
trusts whose operations are inimical to the
public welfare. The great northwest rail-
road merger has been pronounced Illegal by
the lower federal court and an appeal to
the United States Supreme Court is on its
way for early hearing. Yesterday Judge
Grosscup of the United States circuit court
at Chicago made permanent the temporary
injunction against the beef trust which was
granted to compliments a few months ago.
That clears the way for an appeal to the
Supreme Court. which will render final
decision. This injunction is sweeping, and
IL sustained will form the basis for a most
important line of procedure against all cor
porations dealing with food supplies. Its
effect Is to maintain free competition in the
meat markets of the world. Secret meet
ingS to agree on uniform prices are pro-
hibited. The defendants must not arbitra-
rily raise. lower or fix prices by agreement.
they are enjoined from establishing uniform
rules of credit to dealers AND they must not
maintain common blacklist of delinquent
customers
1t may be that the beef trust will find way
to avoid this decree but the determined man
ner in which 1t has fought the suit indicates
that II does not complacently regard the
prospect of such an injunction. The great
evil of course arises from secret proceed.
ings, which not matters of record and
do not give the public chance to scrutinize
the workings of the corporations But a
new element of safety is afforded by the
publicity section of the law passed at the
last session of Congress and the creation Of
the new bureau of corporations under the
Department of Commerce. By means of
these agencies it should be possible for
shrewd government inspectors to detect
signs of a common understanding on the
part OF the possible components Of a trust.
whether they are assembled under single
corporation name or remain as distinct en-
titles. The penalties provided by the Chi

clauses put Q weapon In the hands of the

The politicians are sufficiently interested
in Devery's candidacy to ask how much OF
a figure he win cut when the votes are
counted. They point to the Independent
campaign for mayor of Greater New York
waged by Paddy Gleason. the one-time
mayor of Long Island city. who swung
aloft his battleax emblem and went in to
beat the regulars of both parties. but re-
ceived only pitiful per cent of the total
vote cast. No one thinks for a moment
that Devery can win. He has no machine.
no great organization of workers and
watchers spread over the whole city. His
following is concentrated in a certain small
district, weakened by the claims Of the reg
ular Tammany organization. which Is
chiefly supported by this very class. The
opposition to Devery comes most strongly
from his own kind. But at the same time
Devery offers a certain frank platform Of
principles which may reach the intelligence
of these voters more surely than the deftly
yelled promises of the Tammany Hall lit
erary bureau. split of the vote cast
against reform on the East Side. DETECTING
a few thousands to Devery, who otherwise
would vote for the Tammany candidate,
might turn the election to reform victory
So Deyery's candidacy is worth watching,
politically as well from the point OF
view of the lover of the unique. the gro
tesque and the epigrammatic. Devery's in
cisive wit his affectation of slang. his di-
rect appeal to the understanding of the
"downtrod," form a combination which
may serve admirably to enliven an other
wise dull summer. Even Mr. Croker may
be interested in reading the dissertations
of Devery on the doings and motives OF

Mr.. Hanna,s Announcement.

Mr. Hanna has taken the wise course in
| the matter of the Presidents candidacy.
He has evidently not changed his views.
| He simply announces that as the President
desires Endorsement by the Ohio republic
| cans he will not oppose it. Mr.. Foraker, 1t
| is likely. will propose it. and the result is
| in no doubt Mr.. Roosevelt is quite as pop
ular in Ohio elsewhere In republican
| territory. and the Buckeyes may be ex-
| pected to give him a rousing cheer next
week. So far, so good -
| By changing his attitude Mr.. Hanna has
rendered himself the principal service in
| this business. Had he stood out and even
| defeated Endorsement, he would not have
injured the President. Sentiment as to next
years republican candidate is too strong to
be diverted into new channel now. Too
many men representing too many controll-
ing state organizations have already spoken
to make the action of the next republican
national convention matter of doubt Mr..
Roosevelt will either be nominated by .ac-
clamation, or by a majority SO overwhelm-
ing as to emphasize both the feeble char
acter of the opposition and suggest the
sources of its inspiration. In either event
he will be strong candidate.
But the men who have been using Mr.
Hanna's name, who have been questioning
the sincerity of his declarations in favor of
Mr.. Roosevelt, and hoping to persuade him
openly to head them in a fight against Mr..
Roosevelt's nomination, have fairly been
Silenced. Mr. Hanna has put a quietus on
what was really to him their insulting &C
tivity. They interpreted his attitude as
trick. meant to encourage a movement in
his own behalf and to be used at an oppor-
tune time. He makes it plain now that he
is not a candidate. and will not be drawn
into the race: that he favors Mr.. Roosevelt,
and only objected to an Endorsement by the
Ohio republicans this year because of the
belief that next year would be time enough
Along with this news from Cleveland
comes news from Nebraska that the Hill
and Hartman railroad interests are exert
ing themselves in that state against the
President. but without any fattering pros
poets of success. 1t will be found in the
end that the republican opposition to Mr.
Roosevelt is confined to the New York trust
circles. and to those individuals in the
south who under the name of Lily Whites
are the jests of their own localities and of
the country at large. That opposition the
Presidents friends should by all means en-
courage. 1t cannot but help him, and make
more stable his hold upon the rank and file
of his party in those sections where his
party has fair chance al the polls -.
