Campaign Thunder.

Mr.. Dalzell is figuring In current gossip
in a way that should not surprise but
rather amuse a seasoned politician. Not
outstanding the plain facts of the case
he is still being lectured for his attack
on Bourke Cochran. when, as we all know,
the boot is on the other leg. 1t was Mr.
Cochran who attacked him, and as he has
shown, in reply to perfectly proper and
polite question. Then 1t was that he touched
up the Tammany orator in a way that
made the latter Vince and cry out. Mr.
Cochran could not stand the gam Mr.
DalzelTs support of Mckinley was as nat
ural could be. He was at home In the
republican party, and required no "persua-
sion of any kind to vote for the ticket.
Mr.. Cockran's course in 1895, however, had
excited comment. and Mr.. Dalzell when
provoked but revived it. Still, the news
papers are full of comment based upon the
charge that the Pittsburg representative,
without excuse. attacked Mr. Cochran and
exhibited both slanderous and vindictlve
spirit.
Added to this now is the charge that
Mr.. Dalzell likewise affronted the whole
foreign-born portion of the electorate. He
referred in his speech to a speech made
by Mr. Cochran in New York last year.
In which the latter was quoted as char
acterizing the United States 1.-The
Hoodlum among the nations" He was
6iscoursing upon what is called our i'm
periatstic spirit and of course was charg-
ing as all the anti-imperialists do. that
quite beside ourselves today and
have become a swaggerer hunting trouble.
He denies using the phrase. But he de-
nies a good many things. There is a spirit
that denies. The phrase, however does
not sound like a reportorial invention.
1t Is oratorical In it's nature, and is no
severer than things of which Mr.. Cock
ran confesses to the paternity.
Mr.. DalZeil IN quoting the phrase ad-
mitted the presence of hoodlums among
Us. but explained that they were of the
Cochran type of Observation-Disclosures, -
he called them. who had crossed the sea,
hut were doing the land of their adoption
no good. The thrust was that of an orator

Ing duty now attack all men Of
foreign birth In the country and as de-
serving of rebuke at the polls!
Verify, the campaign has opened Things
are reported said that have not been
thought of. and things that are said are
twisted into twenty different meanings, all
damaging to the speaker and the party to
which he belongs. And this is only May,

Telegraph Companies and Pool Rooms.

The ultimate connection between the tele-
graph companies and the pool rooms of the
country Is so evident that the present issue
raised ir New York the subject is some
what amusing. There is no possible room
for doubt that il Is to the interest of the
telegraph corporations TO have the horse
gambling industry maintained In full blast
They take tolls from thousands of places
and reap a ricn harvest from the traffic
They stand ready as behooves enterprising
corpora tons dealing In communications to
make connections with any person who has
the cash to pay for it. The moral side of
the case does not appeal to them. They ac-
cept what business may be offered without
questioning It's Influence upon the COM
munity. just as they will. In the course
OF the days work. receive and transmit. In

to determine. Tho seal of national disap-
prevail was long ago set upon the transmits
sion of the news of lottery drawings and
the highest courts sustained that action and
later ruled that it applied even to the ex-
press business. The selling of pools on horse
races run at distance is a gambling de-
vice. pure and simple, and would seem to
be susceptible of the same view as that
which regarded the lottery business as In
imical to the public morals and therefore
deserving of SUPPRESSION
If the legislatures or Congress were to
pass acts, afterwards sustained by the
courts, prohibiting the transmission Of the
results of horse races for gambling purposes
the foundations of the pool room Industry
would crumble. The race tracks themselves
ROW maintained chiefly as feeders to these
income-sapping establishments, would be
seriously affected. 1t is broadly asserted to-
day that the race tracks are maintained
chiefly by the contributors of the pool
room proprietors and the bookmakers. and
Il is also charged. without direct proof. that
the telegraph companies heavily subsidize
the circuit meets in order to Keep them go
ing.
It Is not to be believed that If the tele-
graph-fed pool rooms were wiped out of
cease, provided the horse races were still
maintained Some device for smuggling
the informant ton of the results through the
lines would doubtless be found. But pub
lie confidence In the integrity of the re-
suits would be greatly shaken. Once that
Is accomplished much of the traffic must
inevitably be destroyed. AS soon as the
bettors are persuaded that the returns are
manipulated or are even subject to ma
nipula ton they are shy of putting up their
money They will risk their WagerS on
any game that looks to be ION the square,
even though they know the chances Of
and telephone lines shut off and the COM
munications limited to secret means, the
oppol tunity for taking and fraud becomes
so great that the whole business would
soon fall into disrepute ever among its
present supporters.
The sums daily risked on the results of
the horse races in this country are stu
pendous. These pool rooms and tracks
represent drain upon the purse of the
business community and dissipation. do
nestle disruption, bankruptcy and crime
are the logical consequences. 1t is one of
the gravest of the evils that today menace
the social life Of the people of the United
States. The spectacle of great corpora
tions the mainstays of the business world
agencies for education and advancement
prostituting themselves to this base end
for the sake of additional dividends. Is
easily calculated to cause resentment in
the metropolis and elsewhere.

Mr.. Urn an on the Issue.

Mr.. German is of the opinion that the
campaign issue will be the assumption of
power by the President, and not the tariff
1t is strange that of the two issues. the
Maryland senator should not prefer the
tariff. That Is not only a live issue. but
his own position with regard to II is strong
He has brought his party, indeed. around
to where he stood ten years ago. The free
traders have subsidized. No more is heard in
Congress or on the stump the demand for
razing customs houses level with the
ground. The men that led that cry-that is,
the more influential of them-concede now
that protection policy cannot be shut
fled off like a coat, but is well established
and serves great purpose. They ask. at
most. -Or a lowering of protection rates
here and there, and expressly declare that
they have no thought of destroying, or
Gripping. even the robber barons. They are
willing that even the robber barons shall
continue to live.
We all know how the free traders assisted
Mr.. German in 1894, when he was acting
on this view of matters with respect to
the Wilson bill. That measure had been
constructed in the House by men who had
talked free trade the stump, and had
gone as far in legislating in that direction
in close touch with the business interests.
Mr.. German took the House bill when it
reached the Senate and touched it up quite
smartly on protective lines. He went 1t is
true, directly counter to what his party
through many of it's speakers had promised
in the campaign of 1892, but he followed
the suggestions of the business world and
his own opinions, and turned out a meas
ure which made Mr.. Cleveland's tariff re-
form blood boil.
Rallied on the subject of that action by
Mr.. Aldrich on Thursday, Mr. German
said that. save for the Supreme Courts
decision on the income tax, the tariff legis-
lation of 1894 would have proved adequate
TO meet the demands of the country" and
he predicted that the decision would yet
rise to plague the country.
Score one for David B. Hill. He labored
with Mr. German in an effort to induce
him to reject the income tax provision;
told him that it was unconstitutional and
that the Supreme Court would so hold
Had he taken this advice-which as COM
Ing from one OF the leading lawyers of the
country was entitled to consideration at
his hands-Mr. German would have rear
ranged his schedules to cover the amount
intrusted to the income tax. and so, ac-
cordng to his appraisement, have saved
cheney measure.
The tarfff is bound to figure in the cam
paign. Any effort to brighten the people
by talking Caesarism, or the usurpation Of
power by the executive, will fail.

House Democratic Leader.
From the New York Tribune.

FROM the New York Tribune.
In the House of Representatives the di-
rection of the opposition has likewise
passed to singularly competent hands
John Sharp Williams the new democratic
leader, has at single session demonstrated
his exceptional fitness for the post he holds.
He has the temper and qualities of an ad-
mirable floor manager, and the intelligence
and force to hold his own in any parlia-
mentary struggle. No democrat since Ran
dali and Carlisle has led his party in the
House with the dexterity and tact which
Mr.. Williams has so far exhibited. Car
Isle. in fact, shone more as Speaker than
as opposition leader-a post whose drudg-
cry of detail he found diStaSteful Crisp
never led the minority on the floor. Mills
was untitled for his duties by certain in
firmities of temper. William L. Wilson,
though respected. lacked the taste for COM
bat and the physical strength to lead.
Joseph w. Bailey was kept too busy fight
ing dissenters and bushwackers in his own
ranks to be taken seriously as a party
leader James D. Richardson's tactics were
of the feeble-forcible sort. He had no fixed
policies, and was energetic only by fits and
starts.

Executive Usurpatlou. -


T
There has been a good deal Of solemn
nonsense about the Presidents 'usurpation
of the power OF coordinate branches OF
government" Senator German, with q
great appearance of gravity, expressed his
concern again yesterday at 1.-The assump-
ton of power by the executive depart
ment." and was sharply caught up by SEN
ator Aldrich, who said that President
has interfered less with the action of the
House or the Senate than the present in
cumbent of that Office" 1t is true. What
right has any species Of democrat to make
this charge anyway? The party may be
divided into two wings-the followers OF
Cleveland, who overrode Congress at every
turn, and the followers OF Bryan, who still
avows a purpose to pack the Supreme Court
when the chance comes.

Exports of Gold.


Nearly thirteen millions in gold was sent
out of the country last week, the largest
shipment of the precious metal which ever
took place in the same length of time, and
yet this extraordinary expectation did not
cause the slightest excitement or appre-
hensien In financial circles. 1t did not af-
feet the rates for money. 1t did not de-
press the price of stocks. 1t did not I'M
favorably influence to any appreciable ex-
tent the condition of the banks from whose
vaults the sum was drawn. On every side
1t was regarded an interesting incident
in which the national finances were not at
all concerned and which did not give the
slightest cause for apprehension.
