THs COMPROMISE eILL.

The proposed compromise state
hood BILL admitting Oklahoma and In
dian Territory as one state and New
Mexico and Arizona as another. max
ing a total Of two states from the four
territories knocking for admission. Of
fers a solution OF the statehood dead
lock which will be acceptable Of the
several territories and also to the con.
hicting interests in congress. The
new plan offers the only practicable
solution Of the matter possible at the
present time. Il has been thoroughly
demonstrated that the Republican ma
jority Of the senate will never submit
to the passage Of the omnibus bill pre-
ferring to allow the session to close
and pending legislation die on the
calendar rather than suffer the ad.
mission Of the four western states.
The compromise bill. therefore. offers
the only hope Of any statehood legis-
lation
So far as ninety per cent OF the peo-
pie Of Oklahoma and practically all
OF the Indian Territory is concerned
the compromise offers statehood along
the very lines on which It has been
demanded since the statehood ques-
tion was raised. The compromise is
eminenuy satisfactory to them
Arizona and New Mexico do not
take so kindly to the plan. Each ter.
ritory insists upon being made a sep
arate state. The non-Mexican infu.
ence would be increased as far as New
Mexico is concerned. for in Arizona
the American population Is proper
tionately larger than in New Mexico.
Whether Arizona would ever take ad-
vantage Of the privilege suggested Of
becoming a separate state upon Sc
curing a population OF 100000 within
its present limits is questionable. Prob.
ably by that time state pride would
be sufficiently developed TO defeat any
looking to a division. just
as in the case Of Texas. the privilege
OF becoming five states IS one Of which
the citizens Of Texas would not dream
Of taking advantage
The Republican senators frankly con
fess partisan motives I'm presenting
the compromise measure. They fear
that the new states Will send six Dem
ocrauc senators TO Washington and
cast ten electoral votes at the next
presidential election. Senator Quay.
however. does not share these scru-
pies. He is more concerned about
certain Pennsylvania interests in New
Mexico. which are OF the nature OF
personal interests than party expe-
diency and will likely accept the substi-
tute bill. With this opposition remov-
ed and the Republican majority in
both branches lined up for the bill. IL
will have smooth sailing. providing
Democratic senators will allow a vote
to be reached in the senate. which
seems quite likely The Democratic
senators will have it in their power to
defeat the bill by nlibustering. but
this is not probable. inasmuch as the
two new states will be reliably dem
ocratlc.
The compromise bin will be reason
ably satisfactory to all with the possi-
bic exception OF some republican poll.

An INEAMous LAW.

Governor Pennypackers approval of the
new libel law of Pennsylvania is a startling
event. After all that has been said about
the freedom. the power and the influence of
the press in the United States II is aston
ishing that any legislature would dare to
enact. or any Governor to approve. a law
imposing on the press disabilities as CALLING
and intolerable as those imposed by the new
law In Pennsylvania The object and in
tent evidently was. first. TO punish the press
for past criticism Of the ruling powers In
Pennsylvania: ard. second. to muzzle 1t for
the future. 1t is the elimination of political
bosssm in an attempt TO stife freedom of
the press throughout an entire State. The
press of Pennsylvania is not a licentious
one. On the contrary, it is conspicuous for
conservatism and decency. There is not a
yellow newspaper in the State. 1t may
have erred at times. but so do legislatures
and courts The new law was practically
dictated by Senator Quay in revenge for
newspaper attacks on him. 1t requires that
every newspaper in the State shall print in
every issue. on its editorial page. the names

The speeches made by Catholic prelates
at the Columbia Club banquet were, for
the most part, in excellent taste and spirit,
but Bishop Alerding. of Fort Wayne. made
what might be called bad break. After
praising the Catholic parochial schools. he
said:
BY friendly criticism, not by inimical
antagonism. we want to prove to the Amer
lean people that the present school system
of education is wrong. The American peo-
pie are beginning to that there is such
a thing as education without morality.
What will America be If her children grow
up with education but no morals? The
people are seeing this They are intelligent.
They perceive faults quickly. 1t is being
discussed. They are beginning to say,
You are right.
If Bishop Alerding thinks the American
people have any idea Of changing that fea-
ture of the public school system which
separates the church from the state, or
religious instruction from secular, he is
greatly mistaken. That ground has been
thoroughly traversed. and the popular YER
dict as made up will stand. 1t is a mistake
to assume that American schools are ire
ligious because they do not teach dogmas
and forms of worship. They inculcate
Christian virtues every day by other
means

The present fight for leadership and con-
troll in the local Democracy has some as
poets of interest outside of the party. AS
far as the party workers and ''the boys in
the trenches are concerned. it is simply
question of which crowd will succeed in
getting nearest the source Of supplies and
get their feet in the trough. With the lead
ers Of the opposing factions it is mainly
question Of winning and maintaining their
political prestige. Mr.. Reach doubtless de-
sires to beat the Taggart machine, but
mainly for the purpose of substituting one
of his own for it. provided ne has ability
enough to construct one. Mr. Kern has
unwilling party to the fight. He was
drafted into it, and evidently regrets that
political necessity compels him TO lend
himself to perpetuating the Taggart re-
gime. He has nothing to win and possibly
much to lose by standing for the Taggart
machine. He will not gain anything in the
respect of those whose respect he possesses
and desires, and he may lose something
not only Of that. but of political prestige.
Mr.. Kern is one of the few men the Democ-
in reserve for emergencies 1t would be a
pity to have him killed or wounded. polit-
ically, in hopeless municipal contest. AS
for Mr.. Taggart, his anxiety to reconstruct
his machine and continue his bossism in
city politics after he has once retired and
can only be accounted for on the theory
that he has become so addicted to politics
that he cannot break off. Both factions
and the leaders and the rank and file are
alike devoid of any purpose to improve on
the old Taggart machine or to do anything
for the betterment of municipal politics or
government. There is no commendable
motive in the fight on either side.
From an outside party view public SYM
pathy should be with Mr.. Reach, because.
whatever his motive may be, his present
attitude is one of revolt against the Tag
CART ring. II he should succeed in substi-
tuting a new machine for the old one there
would be possibility OF Improvement and
none of retrogression. Keachism might be
bad, but It could not possibly be worse
than Taggartism, and if the revolt should
win its leader might, in a temporary spasm
Of political virtue. attempt to reform the
party which Taggart debauched so long.
But, whether he did or not. there would be
some satisfaction to the public In knowing
that the Taggart machine was busted
and that the Democratic end of municipal
politics was not to be run by long-distance
telephone from French Lick. Republicans
have nothing to expect from Mr.. Reach,
but in his present attitude of opposition to
their sympathy.
