The Tiger in Action.

An Illustration of the admirably direct
methods employed by the Tammany Hall
magnates in campaigning is afforded by the
instructions sent out yesterday by. them
to their subordinates, the district leaders.
The news report of this action puts the
case thus:
was issued after a conference between
Murphy, the mayor. Martin, O'Brien and
j. Sergeant Cram, in about these words:
Your reports to me show that this fel-
low Hearst is not cutting any figure in
your district. Reports to me from inde-
pendent sources and the newspapers show
the contrary. Now. 1 want you to all
get busy Go back to your district and
stay there. | want this vote from you on
election day With which remark Murphy
handed each sheet of paper. giving the
size of the vote expected. He supplemented
this command with this threat:
If you don't give that vote you must
not expect that the organization will stand
behind you in the future" 4"
In other words. Get out your votes or
lose your jobs" That Is plain Tammany-
ese. 1t is understood without difficulty. It
appeals straight to the hearts and minds
of the underlings. to whom regularity and
the favor of those higher up mean bread
and butter and occasional trimmings
These men who occupy the seats of the
mighty on 14th street in New York are not
deluded about the motives of the men in
the ranks They appraise all on the same
basis. They do not make the bluuder of
talking about civic duty and patriotism and
high motives. They put the case more elo-
quently when they say: I'VE need the
offices and you need the money"

crease. however, Prof. Ward asserts
should be Of the class with means to In
vest. and able at once to acquire a stake in
the game. Simply to dump great numbers
OF foreigncrs into the field, without knowl-
edge Of the language, or a dollar to the
man. or any familiarity with American
customs or purposes, would add to existing
dificulties and injure both the new settler
and the old.
One Of the complaints in the case OF the
negro is that he is deserving the farms and
betaking himself to the cities, where he
lives life of idleness and viciousness. This
dificulty, Prof. Ward tells us, would not be
relieved by the distribution OF unsolicited
foreigners over the south, as the statistics
show that they too prefer the city slums to
the fields, and soon find their way to the
former after a brief experience In the latter.
Prof. Wards paper appears opportunely.
Next week a convention OF representa- tive
southern men win meet In Chattanooga.
and immigration for the south Is one Of the
topics on the card for discussion. This
Harvard mans views should. and doubtless
will, be placed in evidence at that meeting.

John G. Carlisle. among those who ''also
spoke" and that too at a town meeting
and In advocacy of a municipal ticket!
Heavens. what times are these! For twenty
years Mr.. Carlisle was one of the intellec-
tual ornaments and influential figures OF
his party. Three times Speaker Of the ma
tfonal House, a United States senator, Sec
retary of the Treasury, under consideration
at one time for the chief justiceship of the
Supreme Court, repeatedly factor in pres
idential speculation, he was very generally
acclaimed as the ablest man Kentucky had
contributed to Political life since the days
of Henry Clay. He passed off the national
stage with the Cleveland people, and since
then has followed the law in New York.
Mcclellan, whom he is booming for mayor,
might be his son, and sit at his feet and
learn, while Osborne, whom he wants for
district attorney, is as tallow dip to his
own white light The old order and the
new, illustrated by the. old and the new

bers of unskilled and undesirable people

places of. or compete with, the negro popu-
1ation.
Prof. Ward holds-indeed It cannot be

The Cabinet Gag.

There can be no doubt that the recently
promulgated presidential order admonishing
the members OF the cabinet not to discuss
cabinet news with correspondents and re-
porters was received by the country in a
spirit OF playful incredulity. On all sizes
has been shown a disposition to question its
effectiveness. whatever credence has been
placed in its serious intent The public has
reached the conclusion that 1t is practi-
cally impossible to prevent the members of
the cabinet from talking with the represen-
tatives of the press on matters intimately
concerning their departments and of imme-
diate interest to the country.
The nine men who comprise the cabinet
are supposedly men of tact and discretion.
They are in close touch with their own de-
partments. and they should be in constant
communication with the public. They
should know what the people are thinking
and doing. and they probably, almost to a
man. believe that the people have the right
TO know what they are thinking and doing.
1t would be in no wise dangerous to intrust
them with full powers of determination as
TO the extent to which government affairs
should be discussed in the public prints If
they cannot hold their tongues when cir
cumstances demand they SHOULD not hold
their places, and one of the surest tests of
illness for a cabinet Office is the manner in
which these nine officials comport them
selves with the reporters and correspond
ents.
Ihere are certain matters which even the
most enterprisng news-seeker realizes can
not be freely disclosed. Never in the past
has there been any serious difficulty in the
keeping of these grave secrets provided
those TO whom they are intrusted are them
selves discreet. And there is no disposi-
tion on the part of the public to demur
when the cabinet discussions are cloaked
in secrecy to the end that the governments
program may not be upset by premature
publication.
The order OF silence. however, .smacks of
censorship. and 1t has possibly aroused a
reasonable resentment on the part of some
or the members of the cabinet. II is
scarcely a dignified proceeding thus TO
apply the official gag to men who represent
the government before the people, and the
sooner the order Is rescinded the better for
the Administrations domestic tranquility
and popular prestige.

ment could be made, and has been made.
against enforcing the law against oMcfai
corruption. Because there have been more
murders in the United States during the
last fifty years than In nearly any other
country. and because we have prOspered as
a nation during that time does not make
murder either desirable or necessary to
prosperity. We have not prospered on ac-
count of special privileges, but In spite OF
them.
With this as a sample of his powers as a
reasoner in the larger question before the
country, the opponents OF Gov. Folk for the
democratic nomination for the presidency
need have no serious fear of his candidacy.
while the republicans could ask nothing bet
ter than to have him made the leader OF
his party in the next national contest. The
murder illustration is puerile. and causes
surprise, coming from the governor Of q
great commonwealth.
Protection now needs no defenders 1t
has justified itself to that extent that many
OF its former most aggressive opponents
have grounded their arms. The tarin issue
of today is an adjustment of tariff rates on
protection lines. made necessary. as many
republicans as well as democrats believe.

preston OF the time when the Dingley

Congress and Railroad Rates.

Let us not trouble ourselves unduly about
whether the Senate or the House should go
first in the matter of railroad rate bill.
We are told that, as the last House re-
corded itself on the subject and the Sen
ate did not, it is for the Senate now to come
forward with a bill and start the ball roll
ing. A neat point, but not particularly
powerful.
In considering this railroad question it
would be useless to close our eyes to the
fact that considerable dstrust of the SEN
ate exists in the country. 1t may be un-
just, but the existence. of the feeling is
beyond dispute. Nine men out Of ten who
are in sympathy with the President. but
fear that he may be defeated In his pro-
gram look askance at the Senate. They
have heard so very frequently that the
Senate is a sort of railroad round house,
where much valuable stock is stored and
good deal of blowing off goes on, they
have come to believe it.
On the other hand the House, In that
matter. has the country's confidence 1t is
the popular chamber of Congress. In many
things it has responded to the popular will.
and in this thing it responded last winter
overwhelmingly in accordance with the
Presidents wishes. which the people at large
new House every two years. The House
that will assemble next month is not the
House that passed the railroad rate bill
last winter. But that was a republican
chamber responding to a republican Presi-
dent, and this is a republican chamber, and
will take up the same question on the
recommendation of the same republican
President.
A great deal will depend on the presenta-
ton of the question in the message That
document will be addressed to both houses
and the desired measure, unlike the tariff
and other revenue-raising measures, need
not originate in the House. If the Senate
shall choose. it may go to work on the
subject at once, regardless of what the
House may be doing. and have the battle
out there on its own lines. Powerful as
the railroads may be there, they are not
all powerful. and Mr.. Dolliver. Mr.. Cullom
and Mr. Iafolette alone, not to mention
others, will be able to make the popular
cause very plain.
