we call public attention to the repeated and
objectionable dictation of President Roose-
Welt to both branches of Congress.
I'VE denounce his fragrant encroachments
upon their rightful powers and independ-
ence and while amazed at the subserviency
of a republican Senate and a republican
House of Representatives to his orders and
bald usurpa ton, we declare that his auto
cratic invasion of their freedom deserves

and condemnation Of the people,"

to recognition. But both we're denied it.
Why? Because both have refused to wear
Mr.. Germans collar. Both hold high COM
missions from the people Of Maryland. but
that fact counts for nothing In the light Of
Mr.. Germans personal displeasure The
chief executive department of Maryland Is
subject to Mr.. Germans interference at
any time, or he will know the reason why;
and where the legislature refuses Mr.. Cor
man a senatorial colleague of his own
choosing. the man so chosen must pay the
penalty that Mr.. German prescribes Which
is why we all laugh when Mr.. German
raises the cry, Of dictator against Mr..
Roosevelt.

measure of some tunefui refrain. A popu-

to the infinite disgust Of the unsteady
trained, perclrance.
Yet 1t Is not to be denied that the whistler
Is a nuisance, serious offense to many
thousands. Morning. noon and night he Is
at his peace-destroying tune-making. The
habit is strong and he whistles unconscious
ly. at his work or In his walks, while loaf
ing or even while reading. Keen-edsed
nerves cannot stand the upsettlng influence
of tune drilled continuously into the ears.
1t becomes maddening, and dispositions may
be easily soured in circumstances of much
whistling. However. what is to be done
about 1t? The whistler Is with us. and Will
be with us to the end OF time unless the
broad hand Of the law Is laid prohibitively
upon the puckered mouth. Is whstling an
inalienable right? The Commissioners and
perhaps the courts must answer.

Street Car Manners.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
some of them strangers within the gates
of New York and of the United States,
have recently confided to the Times their
conviction that the manners of the pas
sengers on the street cars in this city are
bad, and that those of the railroad en-
ployes are much worse Some Of these
observers insist that manners of both these
classes, the riders. and. so to speak, the
drivers, are much better abroad and that
behavior with which we are familiar would
not be tolerated In London in Paris or In
Berlin.
In general way we fear that our critics
are correct. Sweeping statements are un-
safe. and for every observer that reports
aggravated cases of rudeness and selfish
ness there could, of course, be produced
many others who have not seen them. But
there Is far too much Ill conduct: It ap-
pears. on the whole. to be spreading: there
Is certainly more of 1t in New York than
in most other large cities of the republic,
and great deal more than would be per-
mitted in the rigidly regulated towns of
the continent of Europe. It Is not univer-
sal. One might travel for days on some
lines and see very little of 1t. On other
lines 1t is pretty constant, especially in the
crowded hours. The worst feature Of the
situation undoubtedly is that there IL very
little effort made by the employees Of the
roads to control 1t. Unless 1t goes to an
almost riotous length and endangers the
property of the companies such effort is
usually perfunctory.

The Real Tariff Question.

The reported uneasiness in democratic
circles about Bourke Cockran's free trade
utterances Is not very creditable to those
who feel 1t. They ought to know that Mr.
Cochran does not make issues. nor give IN
fiuential Interpretation to issues made by
others. 1t may be true for the moment
that Mr.. Cochran would If he could put
the country upon a free trade basis. But
what does that signify7 Why should that
cause any alarm? He is as near to the
power to change the courses of the stars
as to the power to do that. Besides, he
may not be OF the same opinion next year.
or of a disposition to enunciate 1t. The re-
publicans In the coming campaign can
make little If anything out Of Mr.. Cock
rams opinions any subject, and they
may not try.
The difficulty the democrats confront on
the tariff question grows out OF the record
and not out of the perfervid deliverances
of party writer's or campaign orators.
They revised the tariff In 1894. and made
a botch of the job: They pleased nobody.
Divisions among themselves revealed diff
fe, ences as great and as grave as those
that existed between the free traders and
the republicans They not only displeased
but injured the country. and laid the foun-
dations for their overthrow two years
later In proposing a revision now they
must explain all this, and show II they
can wherein they are more capable now
than then
In 1897 the republicans revised the tariff
and made a pronounced success of the JOB.
1t has proved to be the best piece of work
of that kind ever performed. 1t has pleased
everybody; for while democrats for politi-
cal reasons have not been at liberty to
praise it. they have proited as have others
by the conditions of prosperity 1T has pro-
duced. The only criticism now is that as
a result of this extraordinary prosperity
certain schedules of the Dingley law call
for revision. Republicans whose devotion
to the principles OF protection cannot be
doubted concede the point and hold that the
time has arrived for action: and in urg-
ing action they fortify their position by
the argument that in making necessary
changes the party of protection can be
depended upon to preserve the advantages
of all that 1T has done in the past for Amer
lean industries.
That is the tariff question-made not by
fiamboyant rhetoricians, but by facts; not
byngures OF speech. but by arithmetical fig
ures Bourke Cockran's extravagances are

Chicago and st. Louis.

The republican program at Chicago Is
pretty well mapped out Mr.. Root will be
the temporary chairman, and will sound
the key note. A better selection could not
have been made. He has helped make
good deal Of the history his party will ask
the country to indorse at the polls. and he
will state the case with full information.
Mr.. Lodge Is tipped for chairman OF the
platform committee, and that, too. Is
good selection. AS an accomplished writer
he may be expected to contribute some
thing Of value to the party's deliverance,
ard to bring excellent judgment to bear
upon that contributed by others. Gov.
Black of New York will place the President
In nomination, and the topic and the oc-
casion should inspire him to most sue
cessful effort He is a master Of epigram,
and has achieved distinction as an orator.
As to ST. Louis, however. everything Is
as yet necessarily in the air. The organiza-
ton of the convention will In a measure re-
fleet the strength or weakness OF the diner
ent candidates. We may not expect a posi-
tive showdown in the contest for tenn
porary chairman but In that for control OF
the platform committee there will be test
between the conservatives and the ex-
tremists. The Bryanites should come out
In force then, and the strength they reveal
may be something of an indication Of how
the balloting will go later.
Great Importance also will attach to the
nominating speeches. Among the dele
gates will be number Of eloquent men,
all of them, 1T is safe to assume, eager for
an opportunity to display their powers
The democrats like eloquence. They re-
spond to it,. Nothing is more certain than
that if Ingersoll had been a democrat, ad-
dressing a democratic convention In behalf
of a popular party leader, his splendid out
burst at Cincinnati in 1876 would have
swept everything before it and landed the
subject of 1t a winner. Read In comparison
with Mr.. Bryan's Chicago speech Of 1895,
it reveals an eloquence to which the Ne
braskan can never hope to attain And
yet Mr.. Bryan-an obscurity in comparison
with Mr.. Blaine-won a presidential nomi
nation with his speech
Who is to perform this service for Judge
Parker? Who for Mr. Hearst? Who will
cool off the July atmosphere of the conven-
ton hall with a recital of the qualities of
Mr.. Olney? And who will satisfy the Ian
guild interest attaching to the personality
of a Mr.. Wall of Wisconsin. -

Mr.. German Goes to St. Louis.

Mr.. German appropriately heads the
Maryland delegation to st. Louis. He is
the choice OF his democratic feIlow-citi-
zens for President. and he will thus be in
position to personally supervise his own
interests. He may not permit the use of
his name in the convention. The situa-
ton there may be such as to preclude the
hope of success. But II a deadlock occurs;
II an opportunity presents itself which
makes Parker and Hearst and others i'm
possible. Mr. German, being on hand. will
appreciate its full value as respects his
own case. He will decide whether to seize
II or leave 1t. If 1t is seized and Mr.. Cor
man captures the prize, the entire credit
will be his. II II Is seized and yet the
prize is lost. the responsibility will be his.
No search will be made for bungling
lieutenant upon whom to fix the blame.
With Mr.. German on deck and In touch
hourly with events. no supporter OF his
anywhere need fear for an alert and intel
ligent direction of his interests. Self-pres-
ervation is the first law OF German.
The platform adopted yesterday reads
smoothly--is. indeed. as smooth as the sem
ator himself There is of course demand
eminent. Corruption in the other fellows
is deplored. Tariff reform Mr.. German in

certain to make Mr.. Havsmeyer and his

Rhyme and Reason.


There isn't any reason for the flowers
blooming sweet
To wither at the MONDAY or be crushed
beneath our feet
There isn't any reason for the sky to be
so blue
Nor for sunbeams TO be dancing where the
leaves their shadows strew
The bee is making melody in cadence long
and low.
The birds are lightly singing as they hurry
to and fro;
And joy is set to meter in the lazy summer
time.
There isn't any reason; there is nothing,
only rhyme.
The river as it ripples on its journey to
the sea
Makes music that we cannot sing; yet
sweet as 1t can be.
The rustic Of the tree tops as the zephyrs
wander by
Awake the woods to answer with a long
melodiOus sigh.
And when the stars are cleaning and the
moon is shining bright
thousand minstrel voices softly echo
through the night. .s
And no one understands the spell that's
cast throughout the cline.
There isn't any reason; there is nothing,
only rhyme.
