THE PASS AN INDIRECT BRIBE.

THE PASS AN INDIRECT BRIDE
The Commoner says: The Louisville
and Nashville railroad announces that
with the beginning of the present year it
inaugurated a new era in the matter of
issuing passes, and that from now on it
will discontinue the practice of issuing
passes to public officials, city, county or
State. General Counsel Stowe, who is
credited with the new order, says he is
DESTROYS of breaking up the system of in
huencing public officials by means of
passes. If Mr.. Stowe is correctly quoted
he has given proof of the contention that
passes are given to public officials for
the purpose of influencing their actions.
In this respect a pass is a bride, and it
is difficult to see how any public official
can otherwise consider it. The pass evil
has been responsible for a vast amount
of corruption in public life, and if deter
mined to abolish it, then that railroad
will be doing the general public great
favor that other railroads should be
quick to initiate

NORTHERN NEGROES IN OFFICE.

L
The Times-Democrat says: The recent
appointment made by President Roose-
welt of Charles W. Anderson, a negro,
as collector of internal revenue for the
city of New York has revived the race
question in the North. 1t is a matter
affecting that section mainly; and the ap-
polntment was evidently intended by the
President to present his views on the ne
gro question to the country. No North
e.n negro has heretofore been appointed
to as important a position as Anderson;
and 1t has been the custom to placate the
negro Republicans by giving some of
them minor positions where they enjoy
good salaries but where there is little
chance of offending Northern sentiment
by being thrown into close intercourse
with the whites. Many of the Southern
papers have called attention to this incor-
sistency, and their articles have appar-
emily had some influence on Mr.. Roose-
welt, who seized the first opportunity he
had to test the question whether the
Northern people were as much in favor
Of negro officials as they pretend. fl
Crum was proper collector for Charles
ton, S. c., would not negro be equally
suited to the position in New York? In
consequence, Anderson, who is typical
negro politician, was given one of the
most important positions in the Federal
service in Manhattan.

GENERAL KUROPATKIN
In His Retirement He Is Discredited bv
the Gar.

Nothing is so easy as to criticise ad,
versely and to condemn ungenerously
the deposed lealer of any army. especially
when in disgrace, as is Kuropatkin
through the decree of the Gar, by whom
he has been relieved of command. 1t is
true that at the beginning of hostilities
Kuropatkin promised to whip the .Japs
in short order, and boastfully ANNOUNCED
that the Russians would dictate their
own terms of peace at Toxic, but when
he proclaimed these anticipated results,
he had not met the Japs in actual war
fare. He has had the experience and has
been compelled to appreciate the valoG
of his enemies, by whom he has been
outgeneraled and whipped at almost ev-
eery turn. Yet in his discontinue Ku-
ropatkin is entitled to some credit since
he has displayed his talent, especially in
extricating his army, in retreat from per-
ilous situations, Perhaps if Kuropatkin
had been given full sway, untrammelei,
without advice Or dictation from the Blu
reaucrats at ST. Petersburg, he would
have achieved some greatness for Rus
STA, but he has failed to contend against
Oyama, who has had absolute control
and who has directed his every move
ment with strategic precision and de-
finite purpose. Kuropatkin was given no
authority, and yet he is compelled to take
all responsibility for failure. Had
Oyama been restrained from Toxic as
|<uropatkin has been from St. Peters,
burg, doubtless many of his brilliant
,lans would have miscarried.
Of all the bitterness of life, to be dis
:redited as Kuropatkin has been is the
most calling, desperately trying and hui
niliating. We do not believe that Kuro-
'atkin has deserved such an odium, but
n Russia. country where women ,are'|

country where the aristocracy dictate

bureaucracy, little regard Or considera-
ion for past services are considered.
>uropatkin having failed is discredited
nd in disgrace.
Will General Linevitch. his successor,i
are better if he should also, as he must,
ail? Can or will he check Oyama's
teady progress to Hardin, if he should
scape capture, on his retreat to this
traway fortified city?
