WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1904.

WAS tabled on motion of Alderman
Stacey. Evidently the way this paper
has criticised the hold-up of the
police appointments, when the city Is
so badly in need of moro policemen,
does not set well. IT il is thought
thai the Evening News can be closed
up by n little city pap it is a mistake.
That was tried before and failed.
The Nows is not dependant upon
city patronage for existence. The
people support the News and 1t is
moro generally read in this vicinity
than any other newspaper published
simply because it is not tied down
to any faction and does not hesitate
to speak when it feels the occasion
warrants. City printing cannot buy
the News nor stop its criticism.
Evidently tho shoe is p~inching pretty
hard in this police matter.

THE PAVING OF STREETS.

The question has been raised, why
is there opposition to Rector street
paving when Smith street, between
High and State streets and Madison
venue paving go through without an
objection being offered. In the first
place, rs far as the Evening News has
been able to learn, there is no oppo-
sition to tho paving of Rector street.
The thoroughfares of this city need
improving too badly to oppose any
attempt at paving. The opposition to
the Rector street matter is based sole
ly or closed specifications which it Is
proposed to advertise.
1t is easy enough to see why tho
paving of Smith and Washington
streets ana Madison avenue arc not
opposed and it is very probable that
the petitions to pave State street from
tho Lehigh Valley bridges north and
to pave Smith street to the railroad
With wooden block will not be op-
posed. In all of these there is room
for competition. With Rector street
there is not, that is tho reason Rector
tleet is opposed and tho others have
gone through.
The bitulithic- or-nothing advocates
have been endeavoring to create the
impression that there is an asphalt
trust controlled by the Barber Asphalt
Company. The result of tho recent
Smith street bidding is evidence
enough that this is not so. 1t is true
the Barber company controls all the
Trinidad Lake asphalt, but there are
ton, Jersey City, Harrisburg and
many nearby cities there has been
the wa1mest kind of comp %etition in
asphalt paving. The different mum.
cipalities have gotten the benefit of
this. In Rector street an effort is
being made to deliver the city over to
n single company. Only the Warren
company can furnish the bitulithic
and they can do as they please. They
have n patent on tho material.
BY wording the specifications so
TINT it reads a "bituminous pave
ment, -" or "bitulithic or a material
equally as good" competition is
allowed. 1t is doubtful if the alder
men will establish a PRECEDENT in adj
vertising closed specifications. 1t will
open n way for other things all OF
which will be traced back to tho pres
emit board. Perth Amboy cannot
afford to enter into any closed con-
tracts. No business man would con-
duct his business in such n manner
that only n company could furnish
him figures on big supplies. He in
vites them all in order to got the best
rates and to keep the man who has
the best goods, down in his Aprices.
The aldermen are supposed to con-
duct tho affairs of tho city as they
would their own business. The only
trouble with Rector street is, there
is no competition.

The most charitable view to take of
the abuse of a leading citizen by the

TIC Will not be so ready to concede sIlcb
motives when it remembers that the
leading 1nstigator of the attack on the
merger was the president of the street
railway company and that the Dispatch
mas been that cOmpanys faithful serv-
ant IN season and out without regard
to the interests of the people of ST.
Paul. Nor will the public be ready to
cOncede such unSelfish motives when if
remembers that the attorney of the
street railway company, an officer of
the Dispatch, was one of the expert
counsel IN the states case. This doubt
of disinterestedness is increased by the
memory, still fresh in the minds of the
people of St Paul, that the DISPATCH
supported this same president of the
street railway company for United
states senator against one of it's own
cltIzens. 1t is, perhaps, natural that
the Dispatch, conscious of it's own serf-
dom, tried to obtain consolation by i'm
aglnlng that every other paper is in a
similar condition of bondage.

PARKER. THE MAN.

I h G 10 b republishes in another
column on this page an article from
Golfers Weekly on Judge Parker.
There is great and natural curiosity
everywhere for details concerning the
life, services and personal character
lstlcs of the man who now looms so
large in the public eye. No Individual
could command the instant and enthu-
siastic support of political leaders of
varying shades of opinion in a great
state and in many states without in
trinsic worth SO pronounced as to have
Won already general recognition. The
whole country feels sure that Judge
Parker is an able, sound and safe man.
The whole country also wants to know
more about him.
The really pertinent and interesting
facts are presented succinctly in this
article from Golfers. In no respect
has Judge Parker commended himself
more strongly to the public than in his
refusal to squirt out little installment
of his political views whenever pressed
by an inquiring reporter. The conven-
ton and not the candidate will make
the platform. What Judge Parker
thinks on the leading issues of the day
is well enough evidenced by the plat
form views of the Democrats in New
York state. Infinitely more important
is it to know what kind of man he is,
what is his training, what his environ
ment, what his relations to other men.
what the secret Of his tremendous sue
cess and the exalted position he holds
in the eyes of his fellows.
Glimpses Of this and an adequate ex-
PLANTATION we get in the article referred
to. 1t is at once a charming and a
stirring picture. This man in his past
and in his present is an American of
the Americans, an ideal of the highest
individual type Of the republic.

its declaration for tariff reform is only
one of different lines of attack along
which it will follow the trusts, to their
extinction, without affecting legitimate
operations of capital or disturbing the
proper business interests of the coun-
try.
The farmer and the mechanic are the
chief sufferers from corrupt admins
tration likewise. The expenses of this
government are enormously out of pro-
portion to its needs. In every bureau
and department and direction there is
a prodigal outlay, a criminal waste Of
resources. Look at the stealage al
ready proved in the postoffice. Look
at the enormous appropriations that
slide through, carrying jobs manifold
in number and heavy in weight, and
the people can understand why they
are expected to pay a billion dollars
year for the maintenance Of a govern
ment that should not cost much more
than half as much. The substitution
of honesty for jobbery ought to and
will reduce this burden.
For all these reasons the Democratic
party is the party to which the COM
mon people of this country, the work.
ers on farms and in towns, must look
as their sole hope of relief. For this
reason We trust that our South Dakota
friend and all who have a common
stake with him will unite in the advo-
cacy of Democracy's cause and the
election of a Democratic president and
a Democratic majority in congress.

seen my sister before she died, so / am
not sorry"
This argues an absence of all stand
ards of right and wrong which would
paralyze the best intentioned reformer
who should try to get at This particu-
lar criminal with the hope OF evolving
some kind of moral sense. The prob
lem, like many of those of medicine, is
not to correct perverted function, but
to create a missing organ. The stand
ard of this young fellow is condem-
nation of those highly intelligent and
supposedly moral people whose senti-
mentality, SO often displayed is
stamped upon lower types.
There are two ideas here conveyed
without a hint of doubt about them
rather, indeed, with an air of conscious
pride-which moraligts and those in
terested in ethical development would
do we'll to take note Of First, this
confessed offender is apparently OBJ
livious of any moral obliquity in the
act of theft itself. If the money that
he took is made good by somebody
else, he considers that his RESPONSE
bility is over. Never a suggestion is
there that his own character has been
so shattered and defaced by his own
act that only years of penitent labor
can rebuild it. Second, he figures that
the sentimental wish to see a relative
before she died and the wish of that
relative to see him is a sufficient justi-
fication for the crime that was con-
dition of it's qualification.
Again there is an absence of all no
ton that things are inherently right or
wrong. Everything is a matter of bal
ance. The moral system in such a per-
son is sort of nebulous gas, out OF
which anything stable or certain has
yet to be evolved. 1t is the type that
is created by hysteria, by sentimental
ism and particularly by the yellow
journalism which is a compound OF
both. We know of nothing that our
time and human nature need so much
as an invigorating draught of the old
time infleXible, uncompromising dis
tinction between vice and virtue as
such, and their appropriate rewards
and punishments.

ming canvass of the ward. and pre-
dictiOns are that he will win handiIy
over his Republican rival for the

before the people for the first time,
although he has been a consistent
and active party worker ever since
he attained his majority. He is
widely known through the ward.
having lived in the Ninth for TWEEN
ty-four years, and knows its needs
and wishes in the matter of legisla-
ton. He has always been a firm
friend of organized labor, and as
labor is strong in the ward, natu-
rally expects considerable share Of
this vote. Mr. Brennan is pitted
against DR.. H. g. Norton. q Re
publican who has been in the ward
for only two years. The Ninth gave
Brennan big vote in the primary
election and will undoubtedly send
him to the city council for two
years.
