One would think that Senator Tom
Platt is too old a man and politician to
place faith in an ante-eIection promise,
yet he gave it out last week that Gov
ernor Odell promised him not to inter
fere in the election of a U. S. senator
in New York. On the same day it was
announced that Odell had decided upon
the man whom he would have the leg
islature elect.

Guilty, but UNPUBLISHED.

The church court which has just tried the
Delaware clergyman on a charge of incit-
ing his community to riot and lynching by
means of an incendiary sermon has estab-
.hshed a novel standard of guilt. 1t finds
the accused guilty as indicted, but lets him
off without punishment. The sole result of
the proceeding Is that the offending
preacher is formally admonished to 'be more
careful in the future" Naturally, the ac-
cused minister feels that he has. been vindi-
Gated. Although declared guilty of "un-
of advocating mob murder and of thereby
breaking down the public respect for the
law, he regards the finding as an indorse-
ment.
This is hardly the way to put stop to
infiammatory and incendiary pulpit utter
ances. 1t virtually gives a license to SEN
sation-mongers to rave at the laws and to
point the way to mob fury. 1t would seem
as though there could be no more serious
offense on the part of a man charged with
the custody of the consciences of his par
ishioners. However, it is for his ecclesias-
teal superiors to determine whether he
went sufficiently beyond the bounds of pro-
priety to deserve punishment by them, and
not the general public 1t is greatly to be
deplored that the civil authorities have not

William c. Whitney.

Mr. whitney was a pupil of Mr.. T1lden.
.nd illustrated in his career his political
bringing-up. He had patience as well as
continuance, and accomplished his ends
without the aid of brass band. He was
by no means Indifferent to praise, put ne
did not want the trumpet sounded out OF
season. While he was shaping and ex-
ecuting his plans he was discreet and Sc
cret to the last degree. He possessed the
executive faculty in a large measure, ana
while at the head of the Navy Department
performed service of great value to the
country.
Mr.. Whitney's success was founded upon
a combination of intellect and tempera-
ment He was as diplomatic as quick
witted. Take his success with Mr.. CleVe-
land-a most difficult man to get along
with. He was the one New Yorker of ma

Hewitt left him early in the game. Mr..
Manning died bitterly disappointed man,
and Mr.. Fairchild cooled considerably after

third nomination, and by many was accred-
tied with the result there; and in today's

which he has ever expressed himself about

We may consider Mr.. Whitney's closing
years in the way of pointing out one of the
fruits of Organism. He had not since 1896
concerned himself with national politics.
He ceased in that year to be in touch with
his party, and transferred his talents and
attention wholly to the turf and to money
making. The country probably lost by it,
and he himself paid certain penalty. He
lost somewhat in prestige, for it was not
edifying to see a man with demonstrated
capacity for the largest public affairs CIV
ing so much of his valuable time to racing
touts and trainers, and to studying the in
tricacies of speculation
Whether his party loses by his death is a
question. 1t loses heavily if he could have
been persuaded to interest himself actively
in the fight of the reorganizers, for his were
the talents most needed at this time Could
he have been induced to go to ST. Louis he

Joseph and His Son.

The most notable incident of the opening
of the British parliament yesterday was
the defense of Joseph Chamberlain by his
son Austin, the new chancellor of the ex-
chequer, who in the absence of the pre-
mier arose in the house of commons to re-
ply to the liberal leaders attack upon the
new fiscal policy of the ministry. Young
Mr.. Chamberlain, according to the reports,
acquitted himself honorably as son, but
made only a poor showing a minister.
The situation was rendered piquant by the
fact that Joseph Chamberlain sat in his
place as the member from West Birming
ham and listened unmoved to the assaults
of his old-time opponent, Sir Henry Camp
bell Bannerman, whom he has often rhetor-
ically demolished in just such an encoun-
ter. Then he turned nervously to pay heed
to his sons arguments and defensive state
ments- The spectacle was illustrative of
the new deal in the ministerial coalition.
The absence of Mr.. Chamberlain from the
governments ranks. even though he sits
with its supporters in the body of the
house. will be seriously felt during the de-
bates on the fiscal issues which are certain
to come. The ministry is undeniably weak
1t has been patched here and there with
men who stand for nothing whatever be-
fore the British public. Austin Chamber
lain. as chancellor of the exchequer, is
necessarily to be regarded as a mere stop
gap Had he possessed the native ability
OF his father or his genius for handling
himself cleverly in fight he would have

yesterdays encounter in commons. the
dominant man in English affairs. AS il is
the prevailing comment in London seems
to be, Good son, Poor chap
