The Fight Over Baker.

The rejected Railroad Commissioner
FRANK NJ. BAKER, is a victim Of party
conflict caused by the undertaking of
Governor 0DELL to secure to himself the
absolute personal control of the Repub-
lican organization in the Empire State.
A reason one step nearer TO the surface
was the opposition which developed in
the Legislature to the Governors new
policy on taxation, whereon the issue
was joined about the mortgage tax, and
still higher loom the personal schemes Of
three Republican Senators acting as In
dependents, but the actual cause Of the
Senate's action yesterday probably lay
below.
This theory, Of course, rests on the we'll
justified conviction that the three insur-
gent Republicans, BRACKET. BROWN
and ELsBERa, who, by turning against
BAKER, converted what might have been
winning Republican majority Of 20
into an impotent minority Of %. are at
the Governors service, whenever called
upon.
BAKER was beaten. we imagine, be-
cause Governor ODELL did not wish him
to be confirmed. The Railroad Commits
sion. with all that it has OF political
power, may still be gathered into the
Odell camp.

turbed By tho threatened collision BE-
tween Japan and Russia. There q ground
for thinking that France would feel con-
strained by her existing agreement with
the Gar to place part OF the French
feet at his disposal, In which event the
Japanese, by virtue Of the treaty recently
concluded, would have the right to de-
mand the assistance Of Great Britain.
But, II France were friendly to England,
she would be exceedingly unwilling to be
drawn into such a contest, and her I'M
willingness might cause the st. Peters
burg Government to make timely and
large concessions in respect Of Manchuria
which would avert an outbreak Of hos
tilities.
PROFESSIONALLY a cordial understand
ing between the French and English
nations would rank conspicuously among
the forces tending to preserve the peace
Of the world, and, consequently, we note
with satisfaction the disappearance Of
Anglophobia In Paris.

Col. APPLEroN's addition Of some secret
history OF the Seventh Regiment TO what
been this:
The Seventh was ready to serve during
the Spanish war. The trouble arose from the
regiments desire to serve, not under Gov
ernor BLACKS call for troops In pursuance
OF the Presidents request Of the Governors
Of States, but In accordance with special
appointment or call by the President. As
the regiments readiness to serve was the
chief question at issue and as the common
belief that It was not ready brought upon
the regiment grave discredit. friends OF the
Seventh and Of the National Guard will be
gratified to learn the truth to the contrary.

The hopelessness Of the attempt to bring
about q general rising In Macedonia. and
with IL an intervention on Its behalf by
Bulgaria and Servia, was made clear to
the Macedonian Revolutionary Committee
when the Greeks. both Government and
people, showed that Greece not only would
not aid the movement. but would actively
side with the Turks. It was their reply to
the failure OF the Bulgarians to carry out
the understanding between the two coun-
tries when Greece went to war with Turkey
in 1897
The result Of the Macedonian imbroglio
has been TO bring the minor Balkan and
Danube States more directly than before
under the control OF Russia and Austria,
and to prepare the way for the eventual
administrative disposeession Of the Turk In
the western part Of his European domain.

The Manufacturers and the Public.

Inc Manufacturers and the Pubilc.
The practical usefulness OF the heavy
indictment Of organized labor by the
president OF the National Association Of
Manufacturers, DAVID NJ. PARRY, and Of
the platform Of principles adopted at
the meeting Of that association at New
Orleans, depends upon the number and
kind Of people that heed.
Will the labor unions take to heart Mr..
PABRY's sinister records Of oppression
and boycott and, putting them away,
substitute what is good and lawful in the
way of concerted action? If so, they will
make the New Orleans platform their
rule OF action.
But, apart from the labor men, will Mr..
PARRY and his colleagues pleading for
liberty and law be listened to by the great
body Of his fellow citizens who, through
out the anthracite coal strike. for exam
pie, because they had the feeling that the
coal companies should have done some
thing in the way Of granting higher
wages or fewer hours, condoned or ig-
nored the unexampled lawleesness Of
that struggle and so brought victory to
II and to it first Of all?
1t is in this outside sympathy that the
spirit Of outrage finds the chief source Of
courage for showing ITSELF and II is from
that quarter that Mr.. PARRY and his
associates must first have relief.

Bellairs In Arizona and Elsewhere.
Arizona newspapers just received by
mail and recent Geographic information
from Phoenix in that Territory represent
Captain BELLAIRs as actively en-
gagged in winding up his connection with
the Wickenburg Mining Smelling and
Development Company. This is the con-
Germ whose circular, under President
f. G. BELLAIRs's own name, certifies
that he, the Captain, is man Of I'M
questioned integrity
The process of emerging from the min
ing, smelling and development business
has been attended, in Captain BELLAIRs's
case, by the unpleasant incident OF his
arrest on a charge Of embezzlement,
brought by his friend and fellow official
IN the Wickenburg company. Mr.. CLAUDE
B. BURsoN. II was trifing matter OF
SIPS or 50. and the Captain and ex-Presi-
