Hooliganism.
e New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune
1t was pretty bad for the Japanese in
Toxic to smash things because a super
seryiceable police functionary had denied
them the right as free men freely and
lawfully to express dissent from the
terms of the treaty of Portsmouth, and
we were quick to reprove them for so do
ing But the vitreous superstructure of
our own house was even then in mind, and
1t has since been more forcibly recalled to
attention in a way that leave little bal
ance of credit on our side of the account.
1t was bad for the japanese to do as they
did. But it really seems less creditable,
or more discreditable. for us to have men
and women shot down in street riots in
New York. not over some great civic or ma
tional proyocation, but simply because Of
the propensity of Hooiigans to brawl and
especially, as is the characteristic way of
some New York Hooligans, to insult wo-
men. AS between Toxic and Manhattan,
we are inclined to think Manhattan pre-
sents the worse figure. Tokio's misdeeds
are charged against occasional passion.
Manhattan's shame Is the outcome of
chronic vice

Plat.

Thomas c. Platt, returning from his
travels, speaks in the spirit of Ulysses. He
denies, from an invalid's chair, the story
that he contempiates retiring from politics,
and announces that he will play the game
to the end. This is the way Ulysses put it.:
How duh 1t is to pause. to make an end,
To rust unburnished, not to shine in use.
AS tho to breathe were life
That Is the kind of talk and it carries a
man far. Maybe, too Mr.. Plat is just now
feeling an unusual interest in public az
fairs because of the recent Developments
which have brought some of his enemies
into hard trials and great tribulations .
He would be less than human, indeed, If he
did not note with quicSened pulse the
gossip that is playing around the name of
Benjamin Odell. jr.. whom he trained for
great things. only to have his pupil turn
against him in the hour of success.

Cuba and Annexation

The talk of American Intervention in
Cuba is rather silly, unless it masks a pur-
pose conceived in this country instead of In
that. There were Americans who at the
time opposed handing over the island to
the natives. They wanted the stars and
stripes to remain there as in Porto Rico
The Cubans. In their opinion. were quite in
capable of self-government. and Uncle
Sam. they insisted. now that he was in
charge, should continue to administer
Cuban affairs.
Are Americans OF this stamp abetting
the so-caIled liberals in Cuba? Or, putting
it even more strongly, are they the real OPP
ponents of President Palma. with the lib
erals merely their tools? There seems to
be very little to the liberal party-just
enough to serve the purposes of agitation
and require a show of firmness toward the
movement by the government. At Satur-
days primaries 1t lost at every point. The
people supported the government. Presi-
dent Palma, indeed. was accorded a sort
of Roosevelt triumph. General Gomez, his
opponent. played the role of Judge Parker
in the contest.
This government we may all be sure,
will not be made the tool of any annexation
cOnsprators. The American people have
no thought of playing false to the Cubans
in this or in any matter. We do not want
the island but are entirely satisfied TO see
the Cubans administering their own af-
fairs; and 1t is to be said that. upon the
whole, they are doing it very we'll Their
troubles are no greater than our own were
in the early stages of our venture. Presi-
dent Palma's motives and performances
are no more savagely denounced than were
those of President Washington. In fact If
the Shade of Mount Vernon were to rise
at this time he might very well offer his
hand to President Palma, and adopting a
colloquialism of the day. say. Shake. old

We are told that conditions in Cuba must
not be permitted to take on the aspect of
the old Spanish days. Certainly not But
they are not likely 10. Turmoil and violence
were continuous then because the provoca4
ton was continuous and extreme Cuba

become the intolerable nuisance the United

adjutors-or bosses-should go slow Or.

Money in New York Politics.

How closely and powerfully money and
politics are connected in New York Is
shown by the current discussion of the APP
preaching city election. The disclosures of
the legislative committee In the matter of
the insurance companies and campaign con-
tribLtions seem to have had no effect on
the managing politicians at all. An angel
for candidate apparently has his value as
before.
Tammany is anxious to put up as strong
a ticket as possible Mr.. Mcclellan as a
headliner is all very well. but in the nature
OF things he cannot be the whole show.
Promptly enough there is the suggestion of
a very rich Brooklynite for one of the sub
ordinate places. and the statement frankly
made that If the man is nominated he will
subscribe literally to the campaign. Not a
word is said about his capacity for public
office. His name is unfamiliar to newspa-
per readers. But as he is rich and friend
Of Pat McCarren he is put forward for
recognition, and the assurance given that

Now while this investigation in progress
III New York has to do Immediately with
the part insurance companies have been
taking in politics. the developments will
fail of their full value If they are not ap-
piled to the general question of money at
the polls. 1t is of course one thing for the
president of life insurance company to
subscribe large sum of trust money to a
political campaign fund. and another thing
for a rich man to subscribe in his indi-
vidual right. But what is demanded now Is
the curtailment of all such supplies in sums
that point to the debauching of the cleo
torate. Too much money from one source
and another is collected by the men who
undertake to show majorities on the day
of election.
Angels are all very we'll in their way,
but the line ought to be drawn at the pub
lie offices. No man should be nominated
for place of public trust whose only, or
whose chief. claim to consideration Is the
size and fairness of his wallet. Money talks
but it ought not to be permitted to talk in
that way.

and this does not indicate bankruptcy In
the coal business.
Every coal mining wage scale under
which coal is being mined today will ex-
pire April I. 1906. John Mitchell says that
the anthracite miners will demand an eight
hour work day and recognition of the union.
At the present scale of wages and working
hours the eight-hour day would equal an
increase of Il per cent in wages. This
is the contention of the operators. A
claim of the mine workers is that man
will do as much work in eight hours as
though the day be longer drawn out. The
recognition of the union is a demand at
which the operators balk. So on the whole
there is fair prospect of a tie-up of the
mines next spring. Mitchell has said that
If the anthracite miners strike the bitumi-
nous miners will also quit.
Looking ahead, the mining companies and
railroads have been digging coal as far
above current requirements as possible. aad
storing the surplus. How much has been
stored is a question on which trade authori-
ties differ. One authority says:
THE tonnage reports show that the out
put to September l was AZ. 49, $40 tons In
1903. 1t was 1922. 5SS tons in 1904. and
40, 30. S35 tons in 1905 The tonnage is
keeping pace with the requirements of the
market, ana IL Is a feature Oh eSpSCidt NaiuS
in this. that the coal as mined goes into
the yards of dealers and the cellars of
consumers. In this way there may be an
accumulation of supplies to guard against
any idle time that may occur.
"One does not need to pay much atten-
ton to the reports of big stocks on hand
held by the corporations, for they have not
had the opportunity of making any great
accumulation certainly none of the domes-
tic sizes. There has been considerable
tonnage of the steam sizes stored"
The mine workers have been saving
money. One estimate is that the annual re-
ceipts at headquarters are $1,C00,000. and
the district treasures are prepared for war
1t is said that in the district of Illinois,
where the number of mine workers is "a ,00O
