The Force of Unanimous Report.

The coal strike commission is to be con-
graduated upon the fact that II submitted
a unanimous report. Composed as it was
Of members of diverse opinions upon pub
lie questions. including representatives Of
the two directly antagonistic elements in
volved in the controversy. it might easily
have come to a parting Of the ways and
weakened the prestige of its findings by
presenting a division to the view Of the
public. But no minority report thus les
sens the unmistakable force Of the findings
made public today. The labor union repre-
sentative does not halt and refuse to In
dorse the denunciation of lawlessness for
which the commission declares the union
to be ultimately responsible. nor does the
representative of the anthracite industry
refuse to subscribe to the findings which
are in the interests Of labor. The commits
sion has by its agreement upon the full
terms of the report on this complex ques-
ton afforded a most striking example Of
unity to the very classes whose diversity
of view led to the necessity for it's crea-
ton.

DR.. Crum and Mr.. BYrne.

Although It was plainly foreshadowed,
the Presidents action in the cases OF LIT.
Crum and Mr.. Byrne will for the moment
cause a renewal of the bitter criticism with
which he was assailed when he first &C
corded recognition to those two men. He
will be accused both of stubbornness anu
of pursuing an unwise policy in distributing
patronage. Why did he not take hint
from the Senate and beat retreat? Why
renew controversy over two offices local In
charact and unworthy Of the Importance
to which his course has lifted them? What
does he hope to gain by holding out thus
against the Senate?
AS matter of fact the Senate's action,
or refusal to act made the Presidents &C
ton necessary. In nominating Dr. Crum
and Mr.. Byrne for office in the first instance
the President performed a constitutional
duty after satisfying himself of the WORTH
ness of the two applicants. He gave his
unqualified Endorsement to those two men,
and asked the Senate to ratify his choice.
He had every right in the world to expect
a response way or the other. But he
got no response at all. The Senate. both at
the regular and the special session. failed
to vote on either nomination. 1t neglected
it's duty, and in effect treated the President
gestion that the President had not picked
the right men.
But why did not the Senate if it meant
this say so? And why should the President
have reversed himself upon a mere mega
tive nudge? He had not changed his mind
to the fitness Of either appointment. He
was still Of the opinion that both were good
and worthy of confirma ton. To aban-
don the two men in such circumstances
would have been an act of weakness. or
worse. The President would have played
into the hands not only of the enemies of
DR.. Crum and Mr.. Byrne but of his own
enemies.
After a brief sizzle criticism will die
down until the renewal of the two appoint
ments to the Senate next winter starts the
sparks again. Then, on the eve as it will
be of the presidential campaign. we shall
probably hear some very hot talk. with the
President figuring in the role of an upholder
of Addicksism in the one case, and of
disturber of the relations of the two races
in the other. But such Is political life in
large and populous countries, and the Presi-
dent must stand the storm. 1t won't be
long. and. In some form or other, he'll an

cash they receive a small tin wheel fastened
to a board with letters punched or roughly
embossed on the surface and a crude ink
ing arrangement attached. The process of
writing Is to turn the wheel manuaily to
the desired point and then to press 1t down.
II is the veriest fraud imaginable, the appa-
ratus costing probably less than a quarter
of dollar. or course no one ever finishes
the stipulated stint Of one thousand letters
In praise of the machine, which are re-
quired before the promised $40 is forth
coming for the task is heart breaking. So
the concern gets the $3.50, and the victim
gets the toy typewriter and. what perhaps
is most valuable, the experience A safe
rule to follow in all such cases where large
sums are promised to willing workers at
home in some light, respectable labor Is
to toss the offer aside as another scheme to
get the dollars of the gullible by trick
If the offer is tempting. it is advisable to
consult the postal authorities. who keep
closely in touch with these enterprises.
The swindIe is usually so small that few OF
the victims care to complain. but 1t Is
harmful to the public interests to remain
silent Prompt exposure will follow II the
swindled ones will only come forward and
declare their losses, however trivial they
may be- 1t Is this very indisposition OF the
victim to "squeal' which permits these
contemplate games to be run indefinitely.

The Handful Nuisance.

1t seems only just that the DISTRIBUTORS
of tandbills should be required to pay
license tax equally with the bill posters.
They contribute to the littering OF the
streets and annoy far more the house
holders The Star did not agree with that
Interpretation of the law. rendered a season
or two ago. which permitted the distribu-
ton Of dodgers at the doors OF residences.
Vestibules were strewn with them without
limit and door bells were rung and people
disturbed unreasonably. There seemed no
way to restrict the enterprise Of these an
noying advertisers short of a new series Of
regulations. Now. however. in the prosecu-
ton of the Commissioners propaganda for
a cleaner Washington, a means has been
found to lessen their activities by placing
them in the category of the. other placard
advertising agencies. 1t is to be hoped that
the newly interpreted law will be given full
effect by strict enforcement and that the
gross quantity of these printed slips win at
once fall to very small minimum. The
streets will be the cleaner and the lives of
the householders the more serene.

Lively Times In New York.

Politics must be lively in New York.
There is the Hearst presidential boom-a
tender plant as yet. but receiving constant
attention. There Is the Parker boom-full
of promise. and growing as rapidly as could
be expected. There Is the Hill boom-a
hardy old plant II ever there was one And
there is the Cleveland boom. But Is Mr..
Cleveland to be-accredfted to New York?
He Is a citizen now of New Jersey. He

this presidential matter to charge him up

those other booms and adds to the gayety
of the New York situation. The public

Mr.. Bryan in Fighting Clothes.

The Star yesterday made a brief extract
from an article In the current issue Of
the Commoner In which Mr.. Bryan pays
his respects to Mr. German. Take this from
the same article as further evidence OF
what a beautiful shindy Is on the cards
for next year:
1.-The fact that Mr. German supported the
ticket in the campaign OF 1896 and 1900 Is
used to answer objections from Kansas
City platform democrats, but regularity Is
not the only test.
Mr.. German may well be recognized
as the most potent of all the men who are
now trying to reduce the democratic party
to servile support of the program arranged
by organized wealth. The statement that
he is going to unite the party in an attack
on the tariff and the trusts simply means
that he fayors a sham battle on these issues
without prospect or promise OF interfering
seriously with the republicans"
Observe that regularity is not everything
We have heard from many sources that.
Hike charity. It covers a multitude OF sins
Friends OF Mr.. German who have been
booming him for President have pointed
with pride and comfort to the fact that not
withstanding his differences of opinion with
Mr.. Bryan on public questions he supported
him both in 1896 and 1900 This, 1t was as
sumed. would make him acceptable as a
candidate In Bryanlte circles as against any
other eastern aspirant for next years NOM
ination. But Mr.. Bryan puts damper on
this calculation. Mr.. Germans regularity
cuts no figure in his favor at all. He is no
better of than Mr.. Hill. who sulked in 1885,
and did very little better in 1900.
In this paragraph. however. Mr.. Bryan
makes a statement which may well excite
surprise:
There II not single reform for which
Mr.. German stands. nor Is there a single
remedial measure which can be said TO have
his safbsst and hearty support. He has
nsysf said or done anything to indicate that
ne desired positive and effective antitrust
