The New York Fusion Movement.


The fusion movement in New York city
Is in healthy condition and apparently its
leaders are satisfied that nothing remains
to be done during the hot months to pre-
pare for next falls campaign for the may
orally. A meeting was held last night at
the Headquarters Of the Citizens Union,
the central factor in the fusion, and after
decided to hold no further meetings until
September 1. unless some emergency should
occur. There were present representatives
of the Citizens Union the regular republi-
can organization, the Greater New York
Democracy. the United Germans, the Ger
man. American Municipal League Of Brook
lyn, the Kings County Democracy, the
Austro- Hungarian League and the Italian
American League. These bodies constitute
practically all of the forces which were
united two years ago in the Low interest,
the only absentee being the German Amer
lean Reform Union, headed by Herman
Ridder. The attitude of that body Is as
yet in some doubt. and 1t is possible that
before the opening of the campaign it will
be found In the fusion ranks.
At last nights meeting the reports pre-
scented indicated that there Is a positive
expectation of success on the part OF the
leaders. Chairman Cutting of the fusion
conference committee stated that in many
respects the movement is stronger than III
1901. the constituent bodies being better
organized and more experienced. He noted

True to the Type.

The detailed reports of the Delaware man
burning and its aftermath are replete with
characteristic references to familiar phases
or such affairs. Being a novelty in that
part of the country naturally public inter-
est Is at a greater height and the accounts
are fuller than Is now the usual case when
negro accused of similar crime Is
burned at the stake in the south. Yet in
all its essentials the Wilmington tragedy
Is true to the type. both in its method and
in its effect upon the public mind. For in
stance. says one dispatch:
The leaders of the mob are popular
heroes. John Baker, motorman employed
by the trolley company. who is given credit
for being the foremost of these has been
reted on every side. There is no secret
about the leaders in the attack on the
workhouse and the lynching of White.
Their names are on every tongue. The au-
thorities know them"
Yet according to the latest reports only
one arrest has been made, and 1t seems
problematical whether any more will be
announced.
Another item of this same order reads:
'fhe leaders are proud of their work and
have received congratulations of women as
we'll as Of men
This reference to the interest displayed
by women Is in line with the following

The Shipping Combine.

1t is not unthinkable that in the general
decline of trust shares the prestige of Mr..
]. Pierpont Morgan may receive a shock
There is no reason to suspect that personal
suffering Immediately threatens Mr.. Nor
gan, that all his ventures will vanish In
thin air or that he is not a man of eminent
ability in his chosen sphere. But many a
fiscal genius to whom the world bowed low
has been jolted from his pedestal, and there
have been almost as many WaterlOos as
there have been Napoleons of Finance
Just as men of common clay, after piling
success upon success. sometimes go beyond
the limit of their power SO, too, may the
great
When a man is conspicuously successful,
no matter whether by design or chance,
the gaping public stands ready to exag-
gerate that mans ability, to laugh at his
poorest jest, applaud his most commonplace
speech and follow into any venture he may
propose. And, after all, Mr.. Morgan is only
a man who eats the same meat on which
his fellows feed and whose tissue-cells are
built up by the same processes, no less
wonderful, no more wonderful. The phi
losopher's stone does not dangle at the end
of his watch fob.
Some of the securities with which Mr..
MorganS name Is associated are not stand
ing up well. First among the Morgan
stocks" that have gone down is the Inter
national Mercantile Marine Company, or
shipping combine" When this deal was
contaminated the world held It's breath and
the artists of the press painted the great
financier as holding the earth in the hollow
of his hand. Yet yesterday the quotations
of the stock of this trust were Ga for the
common and 20 for the preferred. Even the
bonds were two and a half points below
par.
The charge has repeatedly been made in
English newspapers that the ships were
taken into the combine at an exorbitant
valuation, and that not enough were OBJ
tanned to make the combine the chief factor
In fixing ocean tariffs. A London dispatch
to the New York Evening Post few days
ago said: There Is a feeling here that re-
construction Of the Morgan shipping trust
may be necessary. If so, an assessment
will be probable. The facts of the matter
are that the combine first bought our
boats at enormous prices and then had to
face vast redundancy In ocean tonnage
when the shipping employed in transport
service was released by the ending of the
ROer war"

The Ratio of Estimate to Fact.

When a great disaster strikes a COM
munity. demoralizes it's usual functions,
cripples the news gathering service and
puts everybody in a state of panic, the first
impulse is to exaggerate the estimate Of
the losses. 1t Is a perfectly natural tend
ency. Everything seems to be wrecked.
The flood has covered half of the town. or
fire has enveloped many blocks. The wind
has strewn fragments of the houses over a
wide area. 1t seems as though many hum
dreds must have been killed and millions
of dollars worth of property destroyed. SO
the first reports of these tragedies always
include good round numbers for the totals
of losses.
Thus the recent flood at Heppner. Ore.
caused by the sudden filling and emptying
Of mountain basin and the demolition OF
IA large part of the town, was at first
stated as having caused at least five hun
dred deaths 1t seemed incredible that any
less number had been drowned by the
waters and crushed by the rocks. But now
that the flood has subsidized and the relief
work has been advanced and the commu-
nifty is restored to a fairly calm state of
mind the losses appear to have been much
smaller. To be sure. they are heavy yet
but 1t is a relief to know that instead of 500
dead at Heppner there are certainly no
more than 212 Just 1T bodies have been
recovered and thirty-five persons are yet
missing. Perhaps the total will reach
about 200, OF two-fifths of the first esti-
mate.
1t would be instructive for some Stats
tician with love for absolute truth to as
certain the relationship between these first
estimates of disaster and the subsequent
findings. Thus Heppner's ratio. as just
stated. was as five to two. Others have
ranged as high as ten to one. An average
might be struck, and this average would
perhaps represent certain temperamental
factors. entering into the condition of mind
In which the original figures are conceived

shocking reference to the scene at the
burning In another news account:

burning In another news account:
"a young and pretty woman was led
to the inner circle OF the ring and was
shown the negro's body burning. She was
pale. but appeared to be satisfied that
proper justice was being melted out to the
man who had so brutally assaulted and
murdered Miss Bishop"
But the mob was composed also of chill
dren, 1t would seem. 1t is stated that
During the show of resistance made by
the police and the jail officials when the
mob attacked the Newcastle county work
house. Peter Smith. twelve-year-old boy.
was shot in the back"
The manner IN which the lad was shot
is interesting. In expressing his regret
at the incident the warden Of the work
house says:
II deeply regret the shooting of the boy,
and from what can be learned 1t appears
that he shot himself. Had he been shot
by one of our men the bullets must have
taken a downward course, as the guards
were all in the third story of the building.
do not believe that one of the men shot
to kill any person or shot any person"
Here was an armed force charged with
the duty of defending the place of custody
and yet when an assault was made upon
1t they deliberately fired in the air. Were
these officials in league with the Iynchers?
OF course the novelty of a man-burning
has greatly enthused the people. Thus, the
day after the affair 1t was possible for
the news reports to contain the following
item, which Is the briefest mention or a
disgusting scene:
During the day thousands Of persons
went to the scene of the lynching, many Of
them intent upon securing CHASTITY relics
Naturally this is the stage for explana-
tons 1t has been charged that had the
courts proceeded with due diligence with
the trial of the wretch the mob would not
have lynched him. The county judge, the
dispatches relate,
Says the trial would have been attended
by such public clamor and prejudice that
a fair trial would have been impossible and
the court would have been compelled to
grant the motion of the prisoners counsel
for change of venue. Once the prisoner
was moved to the insecure jail of Kent
county or Sussex county, he might have
escaped
Even an unfair trial in the midst OF
great public heat would have been better,
more wholesome than a mob murder. 1t
would at least have respected the forms OF
the law. But what of state whose county
jails are so insecure that a prisoner can
escape from them? Is not Delaware facing
a tremendous indictment of incapacity?
this atrocity bristles with shameful sug-
gestions and facts. Yet it remains true
to the type.

the fact that In the campaign to come tno
Tammany candidates viii not have tne
support of the city departments. as was
the case two years ago. Mayor Low
record has been excellent. He has gone
far toward purifying the city. The laws
are being enforced to the limit OF metropOi-
itan possibility. Police blackmail has al
most entirely ceased and the excise laws
are being executed with impartial efficiency.
Naturally some reformers are disappoint-
ed in the results of eighteen months OF re-
form administration. They hoped to see
New York shed its garb Of corruption IN
the twinkling of an eye. They expected
that Lows first occupation OF the mayor
atty chair would be the signal for the
scurrying Of every law-breaker and corrup-
ZIONIST out Of town. They did not calculate
intelligently upon the staying qualities Of
the thieves and blackmailers and gam
blers and vicious classes. They could not
be expected to yield without q struggls.
1t has required a second shift Of police
officials to accomplish the good that has
been wrought in that department. The
fight has been a hard one and New York
is just now showing the results Of q per-
sistent, courageous effort to enforce the
laws.
Two years constitute too short a term for
such an administration. If the reform
ticket is defeated in November by Tam
many the painful work Of the Low admins
tration will have brought New York prac-
tically no permanent results. On the other
hand fusion victory will afford an oppor-
tunity for a continuation Of the reign Of
law and order and New York will be given
a chance to taste to the full the sweets Of
municipal decency. Tammany can make
its appeal for votes only in terms of what
the Low administration has left undone of
the work Of cleaning up the mess Of Tam
many's own former corruption. If such a
plea for office is granted by the big city it
will deserve all it gets in the way Of
thievery, corruption and debauchery.

The Delaware Lynching.
From the New York Sun.

Fr0m the New York Sun.
Ostensibly White was burned to death
to express the popular indignation at the
refusal of the judge of the superior court
to call a special session for his trial. Really
he was put out of the way because the
suggestion" as the hypnotists would say,
the germ Of lynching has spread to Del
aware. Here was a niger charged with
crime. Do not wait for. the law to deal
with him. Burn him. Each lynchins buys
the rope or lights the fire for another one.
The primeval savagery, the thirst and craze
for blood, have been stimulated by each
new barbarity. The passion for lynching,
however atrocious and horrible be the
cause, Is a disease, a mania, a symptom OF
the homicidal hysteria of crowds, and it
should be stopped in the names Of human
ity, justice and common sense.
