Michael DonnelIu.

The creed Of Michael Donnelly. the
leader Of the striking employees of the
meat trust. is given in FIVE words:
Obey orders; keep the peace" DON

element into the strike as a weapon
OF offense-discipline. almost military

terial upon which # is exerted.
When Donnelly went into the union
labor business, strikes were disorgan-
lied revolts, motiYed by anger. and
entered upon without intelligent cast
Ing up OF consequences. Donnelly
changed all that He has made sys-
tenn the handmade Of the strike. The
union. which has $4,000 members IN
the meat eenters of the East and
West, is the witness TO his ability as
an organizer. The strike itself has
declared the quality of his. discipline.

tables instead OF Macaulayan English
and likes To wear a soft hat instead
of high stiff silk one, they under
rate the intellect of the country.
The administration of the laws in the
next four years is not going to be af-
fected by the fact that the President
says he is delighted, where some
other man might say he was charmed.
The style of his hat is not going to
change tariff legislation, nor will the
price of beef be raised by the Presi-
dents personal preference in the mat
ter of roast or boiled. So far as rid
ing and walking are concerned, the
country would have a good deal more
reason to worry over a President who
shut himself up in his Office all the
time and grew liver than over one
who spends several hours every day
riding with his wife or children in the
country. There might be a question
whether a President distinctly I'M
couth and inexperienced in social life
would not give offense to foreign
diplomats in some delicate interna-
tional situation, but they have stood
a good deal from us in that line
without protest AS q matter OF fact,
President Roosevelt is probably bet
ter liked abroad than any predecessor
of his has been in many years.
The Washington times., 1904-08-05
Personal Hatred Campaign.

There is a growing disposition on
the part of the Democratic managers
to make this a personal hatred cam
paign. They are hammering away,
not only at the views and record OF
President Roosevelt, but at his per-
sonaI traits and habits when not
working at his business, and Of the
two they are making the latter the
greater causes Of offense. This is not
going to cause any great sorrow
among Republicans. If the Demo-
cratic party chooses to amUse itself by
calling names while undergoing the
experience Of getting licked. there is
no reason to make any objection.
II is perfectly true that this is a
personal campaign SO far as the Pres
ident is concerned. His personality is
in some respects the great issue. The
country has now TO decide whether it
wants TO vote for a man who merely
does what his party tells him, or
what is expedient, or for one who en-
deavors to represent the highest prin-
ciples of his party, and at the same
time to assure the welfare of the
whole people by condemning law
evasion and law-breaking wherever
he finds IT, and giving the country a
clean, capable. strong administration.
Mr.. Roosevelt has proved himself a
vigorous and fearless man with a
conscience. and that is why he will
get the votes that he will get this
year.
But when the Democratic papers
hold the President up to ridicule be-
cause he takes long rides and walks,
and delights in exercise, because he
smiles broadly, shakes hands vigor-
ously, expresses himself In monosyI-

Governor Shepherd.

1t is gratifying to learn that the
Governor Shepherd statue is to be the
work of so competent man as U. S.
]. Dunbar If any man connected
with the history of Washington de-
serves a statue, it is Shepherd; and
It is not exactly a case of giving a
stone instead of bread, for Shepherd
lived long enough TO receive the
hearty thanks of the people of this
city for the work he did, amid a storm
of opposition, more than thirty years
ago.
From the time Of L'Enfant to the
present day, the symmetrical develop
ment of the Capital City has been
hindered more or less by the schemes
Of spectators and the inordinate and
ignorant greed of private citizens 1t
is matter Of history that the exOrbi-
tant prices charged for lots on Capitol
Hill prevented that neighbOrhood
from becoming, as 1t should have be-
come, one of stately, well-built and
historic houses, and the growth OF the
city was DETECTED 20 the northwest.
II is also a matter of record that
L'Enfant's failure to receive any ade-
Quate reward for the unparalleled SER
vice he rendered to the infant Repub-
lie was largely due to the fact that he
opposed the efforts Of spectators to
secure his plans in advance, buy up
land, and raise prices above the value
Of the ground.
This triangular conflict between
private greed, public work, and the
natural growth of the city caused the
Washington Of war times to be a
scattering, overgrown, unsightly will
derness Of shanties, with few digni-
fed buildings here and there 1t might
have continued TO grow in this hig-
gledy-piggledy condition indefinitely
but for the determined work of Shep-
herd, who Strengthened avenues,
graded streets, made improvements,
and did a lot Of work that ought to
have been done fifty years before.
Honor to whom honor is due for the
attractive appearance Of the city of
today.
The Washington times., 1904-08-05
A Paradox.

This is the way the law of supply
and demand works when adroitly
manipulated by the Coal Trust.
Early this week the interesting
news was presented to a consuming
public that coal had gone up ten
cents a ton. On the same day it is
announced that owing to the fact that
the market is oversupplied with coal.
the mines would be run on part time.
The additional statement was made
that the miner would benefit per
cent by the increase of ten cents a ton
for retail coal
Here Is an opportunity for the po-
ntical economist to do some fine cal
culating. The economic law Of sup
ply and demand declares that the
more people buy of commodity and
the :esz there is of that commodity,
the higher the price will be. Vice
versa the less people buy Of a COM
modify and the more there is OF the
commodity, the lower the price Will
be.
Coal is so plentiful that the mines
have to shut down, and the price Of
coal Immediately rises ten cents ton.
The miners are to be benefited 3 per
cent by this rise, but owing to the
shutdown OF the mines they viii be
able to work only part of the time.
The public, it seems, must be taught
to buy coal at big prices in the spring
OF the year. This, of course, ties up
a pile OF the public's money for sew
eral months, but that does not worry
the Coal Trust little bit In fact. 1t
needs the interest on that money in
its business.
What is ii that the law Of the
United States says? There shall be
no combining OF interests IN order TO
dictate prices? But, then, what is the
law, anyhow, except an inconven-
lent obstacle to business" which the
smart man proves his smartness by
circumVenting?
The Washington times., 1904-08-05

ers' policy by quitting work in a
body. this order was telegraphed by
DOnnelly to the various meat centers:
Walk out peacefully. Take your
tools with you. Keep out Of saloons.
Respect property. Keep the peace.
Prevent trouble between men. Stay
at home as much as you can" The
action that followed this order was a
decided surprise to the packers
All the armies of strikers continued
quietly at their work till Tuesday
noon. Then they marched out in or
derby fashion. Organization went
even farther than that. Men were de-
tailed to remain behind and clean up.
Even the meat was put away in the
refrigerators. On the streets a new
system of keeping order was also in
augurated, and when a row occurred.
even before the municipal police
could get there, the officials of the
union were on hand restoring peace
and sending the combatants TO their
homes.
Donnelly believes in the principle
of arbitration, and he regards a strike
as simply 4 means to bring about ar
bitration. PROFESSIONALLY, his thor
Ough organization of the men under
him gives added force to the strike,
which is being more and more recog-
niZed, not so much as a means Of
Gripping the employer. as an appeal
TO public opinion, the final arbiter.
Public opinion is inherently law
abiding, and while its natural SYM
pathy is always with the under dog,
as it regards the laborer, the least ev-
idence of violence or injustice on the
part of the laborer, alienates this
sympathy. The wise union leader
recognizes this. The successful union
leader of the future will see it still
more, and consequently he will be a
man who strives peaceably, not for
hoggish victory for his side, but for
the impartial maintenance OF the
principle of right and justice.

HIS WAY.

I would not like 10 say that he
Has never told the truth 10 me.
II not by actual intent,
He has. at least. by accident.
He's vivid OF Imagination
And somewhat loose in allegation.
His statements are sometimes fallacious
And thus fall short Of the Yeracious
I would quite willingly believe
He has no purpose to deceive;
And yet II is unfortunate
That he will so exaggerate.
A thousand pities he will tarnish
The truth with such q coat Of varnish
And make one feel a sort OF bias
In favor Of Ananias.
Still we, OF course who know his fault,
Can always use a grain of salt,
And 90 per cent subtract
From anything he states as fact.

FRIDAY. AUGUST 3, 1904.
Trouble in New York.

According to well informed
practical politician the difference in
net results between a campaign
waged in New York city by an enthu-
siastic Tammany and one conducted
by lukewarm Tammany is approx
imately $4,000 votes, which would
rather go to Tammany for two dol
lars than to the Republican party for
ten dollars, but which must be paid
something TO go anywhere.
Unless Charles T. Murphy, of Tam
many Hall, changes his attitude or
Patrick II. McCarren suddenly learns
that he is not chairman of the New
York Democratic State executive com
mittee, the soundness Of this theory
regarding an enthusiastic and a luke
warm Tammany is likely to be thor
oughly tested next November at the
expense of Judge Parker.
By virtue of being named first on
the committee, McCarren has already
opened headquarters and announced
that he would be at his post day and
night until election. Murphy declares
that If McCarren speaks truly the
battle against McCarren in Kings
county viii go on, and the appeals Of
William F. Sheehan, Judge Parker's
personal representative, have thus far
not moved the Tammany dictator a
single peg.
Never with my consent" says
Murphy, will a man be elevated to
any Office who has betrayed the or
ganization I represent, as we'll as my
self, especially one who has sought
to deliver the police of Brooklyn to
the gamblers"
Democrats as well as Republicans
concur that Judge Parker's chances
of becoming President without the
electoral vote of New York are hope
less. II is a wel1-known fact that the
judge was nominated on faith because
of the assurances given by David B.
Hill and others that the Judge could
carry New York State. Mr.. Sheehan
showed that he well recognized the
threatening aspect Of the situation
when he pleaded with Murphy:
You are aware that factional diff
ferences will menace the success OF
the Democratic ticket this fall"
Murphy's assurance that Tammany
would do her full duty to the Demo-
cratic nominees will scarcely be en-
tirely convincing, If Tammany In the
meantime is expanding considerable
OF her energy in harassing and oppos-
ing the chairman OF the Democratic
State executive committee. Tammany
knows full well that the bulwark of
her strength is New York city. Tam
many knows that as long as she re-
mains supreme in New York city II
really makes very little difference in
the multitude Of her perquisites what
happens to the rest of the country.
Tammany's support Of the State
and national Democracy, therefore, is
secondary TO her business of main
tanning her supremacy in New York
municipal politics, and Tammany has
never yet sacrificed self-interest TO
anybody else's interest.
The tiger regards McCarren as a
menace TO Tammany control in New
York city, and if to destroy this men
ace Tammany has TO go TO the ex-
tremity Of defeating the Democratic
national ticket, Tammany will not
ninch. She will not do this openly.
which would jeoDardize Tammany's
boosted regularity" but there are
divers undetermined methods Of which
Iammany is full and complete mas
ter.

The writer wisheS to register a kick
on the wet seats in the open cars. Why
does not the street railway company
have a man wipe the seats dry when the
cars come into the barns after a rainy
trip?
Many times I have noticed the cars
start out from the barns after the rain
was over with the seats all wet except
a small space in the middle OF the car
