Our correspondent of Yesterday who
thinks it will be surprising if this cy'
clone of graft does not soon create 6
| financial panic mistakes the effect pro.
duCed by the exposures of public anC
private corruption which we have beer
having for months past. The panic has
been produced, but it is political rather
than fnancial-is among the grating
Bosses of politics rather than in the
sphere Of finance.
The late election bore witness to this
fact and very emphatically and unmis-
takably, Neither Of the great political
parties had sense enough to see that the
revelations had in them the seeds OF po-
liiical revolution. They kept to the front
their old Bosses and set out to play their
old political tricks as il the eyes Of the
people had not been opened to see through
their game.
The exposures Of the misdoing Of in
surance officers were bad enough but
they concerned a private trust betrayed.
Primarily the injury done was to the
policvhoders Of the corporations, and
the whole system of life insurance was
brought under criticism and suspicion
of possibly calamitous consequences to
many individuals. When, however, a
Governor Of great State abuses the trust
committed to him by the people, our
very political system is grossly and dan
gerously perverted.
i,, 10, 4 n If a
n financial panic, as suggested by our
correspondent. The revelation rather
tends TO financial sanity and health.
When evils and their causes are known
they are disarmed of their perniCious
influences Then reformation and cura-
tive processes set in. 1t is only when
evils are hidden, when.they are suspected
but not actually discovered, that they
are perilous.
The financial atmosphere has been
cleared wonderfully in recent months.
II will no longer be mephitc. Honesty
and decency are going to be at a premium
in the United States from this time forth.
In the political sphere, also, there will
be purgation there has been purgation
already
The late elections demonstrated that
the public conscience is sound and
healthy. There was panic, but it was
panic among the Bosses. The people
were sane and cool enough They over
turned and destroyed the machinery
of political corruption, They relegated
the Odells to limbo of infamous OBJ
scurity from which there will be no
emergence. From this TIME forward
American politics will be decenter and
purer
1t is not time for despondency. 1t
is time for eXultation that at length
there has been great awakening of the
public conscience And il is going to
last. We shall hear more Of it and see
more of il in the election for Governor
Of this State next year and in the election
for President in 1908.

The Scheme For the Federation OF Evan
grllral Churches so Described.

To THE EDITOR OF The SrN Sir; One is

tion of all the evangelical churches into sub
stantial organization that shall make itself
felt. aud exercise a tremendous influence in
the religious. social and business worlds. is
not after all church trust? And IL church
trust will not its methods be something &
after the order of the methods Of the great
trusts and combinations of the commercial
world? VIII il not find way to dispose Of
all competitors. or those who do not approve
of its principles and refuse TO cooperate in its
purposes?
Surely it would be only a step 10 find and
define the hereto, and likewise find way
to punish him for his contunlacy and re-
fusal to enter the church trust, Whoever
ponders the history of the fourth century,
studies the words auddeeds of the great relig
iouS councils of those early days, must gee
in the present momentous congress of relig
iunsts in Carnegie Hall an exact parallel.

Speak Up, John MITCHELL.

The proprietor of large manufaCt-
for statement that JOHN MITCHELL $
activities in the coal regions are already
exerting a baneiul influence on trade
conditions. Desiring to place large
order for special article, he commun-
Gated with the leading manufacturer of
it. The reply informed him that orders
already booked would prohibit the ac-
ceptance of any new business for early
delivery, and that orders for delivery
after April / could be accepted only
subject to delay caused by strikes in
the coal regions.
Further inquiry assures lis of an un-
dercurrent of uncertainty in the minds
of many whose enterprises depend upon
coal supply Reports still come from
the coal districts thar it j. the purpose
of the miners 10 insist upon an eight
hour day and recognition of their union
by the operators II is conceivable thut
the operators might Weld the point of
the eight hour day. That is Il point
on which they can keep themselves
covered. II the per ton price Of mining
is inrrelS,d they IN simply add little
more than the i,ctual increase to the
selling price and The public must pay
larger price for its coal. But il is
almost inconceivuble that they will yield
to Mr. MITCHELL's demand for recogn-
ton of the union along the line of the
requirement of ihe labor leaders

the miners dnu the operato ors do not
expire until the first of next April, and
there is no pr )bability whatever that
either party will. violate the agreement.
the question of new agreements should
be taken up without delay. The condi-
tions Of the industry are such that the
public has vital interest in the matter.
Should strike come, as it may. in both
the anthracite and bituminous areas,
the possibilities are appalling. So long
as there is uncertainty measure of
commercial instability is inevitable. If
there is to be battle the public has
right to call for an immediate presenta-
tion of the issues involved in order that
1t may for its own protection take such

JOHN MITCHELL Is unquestionably the
prime instigator and the chief agitator
in the movement. He has assumed d
terrible responsibility, and the menace
Of his movement already shows results
in the industry of the country
II Mr.. MITCHELL is wise he will make
q prompt announcement of the plans
and purposes of his union. 1t is useless
for him to say that they depend upon
the plans OF the operators. He and his
associates are the aggressors. We have
no evidence whatever Of any interest of
the operators to change in any way the
present condition. They have nothing
to say and there is nothing for them to
say until he has spoken. So long as he
is silent there must be an ever increas-
ing uncertainty and disturbance In trade
conditions.
The merits Of the case are the Same
to-day as they will be next April, and
the points at issue cannot be too quickly
submitted for consideration by the public.
For the disturbance which will result from
delay JOHN MITCHELL and not the opera
tors will be held responsible.

Consul-General PATTERSON of Calcutta
draws the attention of Americans to the
Indian Industrial and Agricultural Exhibl-
tion to be held at Benares. The aim is to
bring together specimens OF the natural
products Of India and modern appliances
by which Indian industries may be i'm
proved,
The ConsulGeneral is OF the opinion that
there is lnrge field in India for American
agricultural machinery, especially thresh-
ers and winnowers that can be moved from
place to place, as the farms in India are
small in size though many in number
He believes that the coming exhibition at
Benares will afford an excellent opportunity
to place American harvesting and other
machinery before the people of India, and
that thereby market will be created
The suggestion and the opportunity are
worth the attention of American manu-
facturers.

The Business Management of Foot.
ball


With each succeeding week the football
situation becomes more interesting. In
'terest in the season OF 1905 is novel in
that the general public shares it equally
with the undergraduate world, and also
in that this public interest has turned
TO the inside conduct of the game in addi-
tionsto the match play Of college teams
from games to the game.
The salient feature of last SATURDAYS
football rests in a striking contrast
Yale and Princeton, the oldest and most
generous rivals in intercollegiate sport,
played at New Haven a game absolutely
free from unpleasant features, and brill
liant with all the finer points of football
science. While Eli and the Tiger were
battling on Yale Field, Harvard at
Cambridge was adding another knk to
the tangle Of her football affairs. Her
trouble appears to consist of various ele-
ments of discord which may be summed
up in the single word Encouragement.
Even should President ELIOT, however,
put an end to Harvard's S participation in
ioOtDdlli uS IL 10 ltdTtu he
intends to do, Yale and Princeton will
continue the game and hold it to the
high standard of true sportsmanship
which they have established. The effect
would be most marked in the smaller
colleges.
Too much emphasis in the public dis
cusson of football has been laid on the

the first evidence Hortenstein gave of

Topeka, Kans., Aug. 12.-The yellow
fever quarantine is being felt on rail
roads as far north as Topeka. The
general passenger Office of the Santa
Fe has just issued a circular to all
agents instructing them to sell tickets
to all points in Arkansas, Tennessee,
Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi and
Alabama subject to delay. The words
SOLD Subject to Quarantine Delays"
are to be stamped on the back of ev-
cry ticket sold to points in the states
named. This means that the railroad
is not liable for delays when the au
thorities of the states named refuse
to let the company's trains carry peo
pie into their boundaries on account
of the fever quarantine regulations.

BOILER MAKERS ARE DEFEATED.
The Santa Fe Wins in the Strike and
the Union Officials Have Conceded
Their Failure.

Topeka, Kans., Aug. 12.-The ex
ecutive officers of the union boiler
makers and iron shipbuilders of Amer
lea have evidently decided that the
strike against the Santa Fe Railway
called last spring, is hopeless. In a
circular to all the members of the
union George f. Dunn, grand presi-
dent and organizer, says that he be-
lieves the statement of Vice President
Kendrick of the Santa Fe, in which
the latter says that no union boiler
makers will ever again be employed
by the company. Mr.. Dunn advises
the men who are out to secure other
jobs Immediately, as the union cannot
continue TO pay them benefits on
hopeless strike. This really means
that the boiler makers strike on the
Santa Fe is a failure, although Presi-
dent Dunn asserts that he will never
formally call it off.
The boiler makers strike has moth
ing to do with the machinists' strike
which has now been going on for fif-
teen months The Machinists' Inter
national Union is still able to pay
strike benefits to all of it's men who
ire out at Topeka, and the officers
claim that these benefits can be con-
inued indefinitely.

STUDYING TREE PLANTING
ALONG AMERICAN RAILWAYS.

Washington, Aug 12.-The forestry
service has begun a series of expert
ments to determine the value of the
scrub pine for paper making purposes.
1t is hoped that this timber can be
utilized to relieve the demand for
spruce, which is very heavy. Tree
plantations made Dy railroads are also
being studied by the service with the
view of gathering such statistics of
success or failure as may aid it when
called upon by railroads hereafter to
supply plans for other work in forest
extension. The plantations of the Bos-
ton and Maine and the Norfolk &
Western roads have first been taken
up, but the scope of the studies will
include the principal roads east OF
the Rocky Mountains which have had
experience in tree planting.
