BOSSES GET BLACK EYES.
Successful Rebellion Against the
Rule of Professional Ring
Leaders.

Chicago voters were apathetic be-
cause no question of principle called
them to the polls. They had to pass only
on the qualifications of some candidates
many of them of equal merit. In com
munities where there was n burning
issue" the excitement was intense, the
vote heavy. and the result a matter of
more than local interest. The issue in.
volved in the elections held in New
York city, Philadelphia, and in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Maryland was whether
bossism should be triumphant or have
a fall. Everywhere when the issue was
we'll defined the bosses were bumped,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
A few months ago no bosses seemed so
firmly seated as those who completely
ruled Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.
A successful rebellion against them
was looked for by no one. There had
been instructions in the past, but they
had been put down with ease. The
bosses carried the abuses of bossism too
far, and as a consequence they have lost
Philadelphia and the state treasury.

Senator German was a boss who
wished to make his position impregna-
BILE through the machinery of a disfran-
chising amendment. The senator has
had the reputation Of being remarkably
astute or cunning, but he did not per-
ceive that he was trying the patience of
Marylanders too far. The question they
had to pass on was whether he should
remain boss, and they voted in the neg
ative
The republican ticket in Ohio would
not have Jared so badly if the voters
throughout the state had not wished to
administer a deserved rebuke to boss
ism as exemplified and intrenched in
the Herrick-Dick machine. The dem
ocrats carried Hamilton county, and the
defeat of Boss Cox is followed by his
resignation. The whole state has gone
against the bosses of the state machine
The triumph of Jerome was protest
against boss rule. The heavy vote cast
for Mr. Hearst was another protest
The lesson of the last election is that
the people are tired of the bosses-even
when they are "benefiCent." If there
had been arrogant bosses in cities or
states where the vote was light and lit
tie interest taken in the result, the vote
would have been heavier and the bosses
would have been smashed in them as
they were everywhere else.

REDUCTION OF THE TARIFF
Stability Is Absolutely Necessary in
Order to Insure Business
Prosperity.

1t is an amusing, if not an interest
ing, study in ignorance to read many
of the expressions ON tariff revision.
The question of an American tariff,
says the Carthage (Mo) Press, is only
question of American expediency
a revision or even a threatened revi-
sion Of American tariff produces a rest
lessness unfavorable to the general
prosperity of all lines of business. 4
tariff once intelligently adopted should
embody a fixed policy, such as is in.
corporated in the Dingley bill, one to
be depended upon. To make a tariff
policy political football is ruinous
to trade.
The main reason why American pro
lection should be imposed against the
nations of the old world is involved
in the question of labor values The
workman of America enjoys d higher
standard of living than his European
brother. He is better educated, of
higher tastes, accustomed to greater
comforts and more privileges, there,
fore his requirements are enlarged
He is on higher plane than the equal
ly skilled foreign producer. 1t is the
tariff that has made this possible for
him.
Let us suppose two factories, one in
England, the other in the United
States. Both use the same modern ap-
pliances and the cost of raw material
is approximately the same. But the
American proprietor pays his help two
dollars a day, while the Englishman
gets his for one dollar If the protec.
tive tariff bars were taken down could
the American manufacturer success.
fully compete with his English rival
unless he is able to obtain labor at
the same price? That is the tariff
issue in a nutshell
But the farmer pays the taxi" Not
while the factory help are buying the
products of the farm for their con.
sumption. They pay the farmer more
for the results of his toll than he
could receive We're the wages reduced
to the European scale.
Aside from the protective element
a tarif schedule Is the most natural
way and means for raising a revenue
for the national expenses. IL is less
cumbersome aud more popular than di.
rect taxation, and in varying degree
the foreign producer also contributes
toward the desired result.

Victory of Concession.

1t was a significant utterance COM
ing. as it did. from a Russian peace
lrince, that the late treaty of Ports
mouth was "a great diplomatic victory
1or Mr.. Witte, but great moral vic
tory for Japan" That the world re-
lards it as such is not strange. says
4 writer in Four Track News. but it
was not to be expected that one of the
Russian royalty would admit as much.
The New York Tribune. vOicing public
sentiment, said: In yielding her claim
1oT indemnity Japan has won the re-
spect and admiration Cf all civilized ma
tons" The victory of concession in
the interests of peace and humanity
belongs to Japan, quite as much as her
repeated and uninterrupted victories in
the field Russia would concede prac-
tlcally nothing, and the unprecedented
spectacle was presented of the victors
Iuaking most of the concessions. From
purely greedy. diplomatic view
point Russia gained a singular advan-
tage; from the higher, broader more
humane viewpoint. Japan gained all.
In the eyes of the nations Japan won
her greatest victory in her apparen;
diplomatic defeat for had she, the
victor, been as obdurate and unyield-
ing as were the Russians, whose whole
war record was one OF repeated iisas
ter. no peace would have come out of
Portsmouth The treaty was the
rrowning victory for Japan, and a
magnificent triumph for those princi-
les which make for permanent peace

MARYLAND DOWNS CORMAN
The Democratic Intriguer Meets His
Waterloo On His Own
battle-ground.

One of the gratifying results of the
elections was the defeat of Senator
Germans grandfather amendment to
the state constitution Of Maryland by
a majority of from 10000 to $4,000
This is gratifying, says the Chicago
Chronicle, as a failure of one attempt
out of many to nullify a provision of
the national constitution. The real
purpose, as everybody knows, was that
which has been accomplished in most
of the old slave states by the incor-
poration of substantially the same pro-
vision in their constitutions. That pur-
pose is the disfranchisement of men
not because of any personal unfitness
for the exercise of political rights but
because of their race.
The purpose is not avowed, of
course, because disfranchisement for
such cause is expressly prohibited by
the constitution of the United States.
| Nothing is said about race in any of
the grandfather amendments. But
| they are so framed that they may be
made to work disfranchisement of ne
| groes without affecting white men un-
! less they are immigrants or descend
ants of comparatively recent immi-
| grants.
Here we discover the reason why
| the amendment was defeated in Mary
| land. That state differs from the most
of those which have resorted to this
! mode of notification in that 1t has
many white voters who would be dis
! franchised by the impartial enforce
ment of the grandfather rule. Other
southern states have some such voters,
| but in most or all of them there Is
tacit understanding that in practice
! the grandfather clause will not be ap-
piled to them.
In Maryland such an understanding
was out of the question. 1t was GER
I tain that if the amendment should
be invoked for the disfranchisement
| of negroes it would also be invoked
for the disfranchisement of whites. 1t
would have to be enforced impartially.
Mr.. Bonaparte, the recognized repub-
lican leader in that state gave notice
of that and called attention TO the fact
tldI INC "pu4N hlSli al
chise as many white voters as black,
and perhaps more.
The white voters who were in dan
ger of dsfranchisement naturally
threw their strength against the
amendment and the party that pro
posed it. No private assurances by
the democratic leaders that the amend
ment would not be applied to them
were accepted, and so the amendment
went down and the democratic party
with it, perhaps.
Senator German staked his own po
litical future on the amendment and
lost If the democratic party recovers
from the shock Of defeat and continues
to control the state Mr.. German will
no longer lead it.
His party may be the gamer Cor
man is not a statesman in the true
sense of the word. He is merely q
party manager of some skill. His
party leadership in the senate has moi
been one of principle. 1t has been {
tactical leadership only. AS tacti
clan German is shrewd and resource
full, but unsafe because of his lacl
of principle.
His party in the state and in the
senate is not likely to lose anything
by his retirement from leadership.

Trading Largely Confined to Testing
Operations.

Operations.
New York, March 7.--Trading in
stocks to-day was largely confined to
testing operations to learn the mar
ket's temper. These failed to develop
any vigorous upward tendency and the
subsequent drop was due as much to
disappointment over this lack as to any
positive pressure. The Northern Secur'
tiles decision had figured sd often as a
speculative factor that the market is
somewhat at a loss with the conclusion
reached. A swarm of rumors has figur-
ed in connection with the case about
new combinations and absorptions of
control said to be awaiting the dispo'
sition of that contest for carrying out.
None of these plans has been announc-
ed, and there was none of the active
selling to-day to realize which is usual
after a heightened buying movement
with a elimination of the factors
which induced the buying. But the
apathetic tone which is creeping over
the market is evidence that the many
combinations and merger stories are
losing their force to stimulate demand.
Authoritative denial was made to-day
of a recent rumor of a new issue of
Sugar stock with valuable subscrip
ton privileges. Disclaimers were put
out of another story to the effect that
New York Central was to control On.
tario & Western, and to guarantee a
three per. cent. dividend. The strike
on the Interborough system in New
York city had no very clear effect d.
rectly through the stocks Immediately
concerned which, in fact, showed
strength, but the effect was bad on
the general speculative temper. There
was direct effect also in the reduc-
ton of the attendance at the stock
exchange, caused by the difficulty in
getting to business, and the resultant
dullness of the market was partly due
to this fact. There was no change in
current conditions Of money on bust
ness to alter the tone Of the stock mar.
ket. Money on call continued easy.
Paris was a seller of securities ap-
parently on account of the dark Rus
sian prospects. The terms of the settle
ment of the grain rate war are re-
cline in the grain traffic to Atlantic
ports, which may have been a factor
in the haviness of the trunk lines. A
number of gross earnings reports for
the last week. of February by south
ern and southwestern railroads showed
some rather striking declines from those
of last year. Atchison, however, was
at one time strong, said to be on COW
ering by shorts. The Reading advance
was attributed to renewed activity
by a pool. Revived rumors of a lead
merger were responsible for the
strength of National Lead and the
Smelling stocks. The few gains were
poorly held, and the closing was easy
and at about the lowest Of the day.
