An Age Of CIamor.

IN recent address James H. Eckels
characterized this as an age of clamor.
He said it was not an age of reason
or thought. According to his view,
the rights of property and the rights
Of labor were regarded from outside
the standpoint of right and justice,
and in place Of these qualities were
demagogy and clamor. According
TO his preachment, public questions
are not dealt with in the press calmly
and dispassioaately but in a spirit. in
consonance with the clamor so dis
tressing to the senses of Mr. Eckels.
It seems to others than Mr.. Eekels
that he is in error. There is that
quality which he terms clamor, but
it is not an empty sound, for it is
the murmur of protest grown to a
roar. An assault upon a walled fort
ress cannot be made in silence. There
Is the reYerberation of guns and the
clash of arms as well as the voice OF
not deceive. The noise that appalls
Mr.. Eckels is not the explosion of
blank cartridge.
This is more an age of reason and
thought than any that has preceded.
In the past there have been individual
minds rising so far above their fell
lows that they have ilIumined ages
that now are history. and the light of
them comes down TO the present.
Now the standard Of common intelli-
genee is higher There may be no
superior mental giants, but the rank
and file has learned to think, and
thinking, to reason out a clear con-
ception of their own relations to the
world about them.
When they see the spirit of acquis-
itiYeness organized into a vast ma
chine that absorbs the wealth of the
country, and in many instances
neither produces nor promotes pro-
duction, they know that there is
something wrong, and they seek
remedy. In this they have the help
Of the press, which is sensational"
much TO the discontinue of Mr.. Eek
els, merely because it tells the facts.
1t is not to blame for the sensational
ism; it does not make the facts, but
purFeys them.
Doubtless Mr.. Rockefeller also is
cognizant of cIamor 1t has been
heard in Wall Street. The attempt to
regulate trusts, to deprive railroads
OF power they have abused, to es-
tablish equity in the economic and in
dustrial world-all this is clamor. The
only remedy that suggests itself is
change in the basic conditions. The
people are thinking aloud. This is
the ciamor. Perhaps they get TOO
noisy at times, but enthusiasm makes
this Inevitable.

WOULD NEVER HAVE FACED
TROOPS FROM PENNSYLVANIA

Early this morning a furniture van
rolled up to the corner of First and B
streets northeast. and began taking on
a load of furniture from one of the
houses that are to be occupied by the
Pennsylvania troops.
When the news of this reached the
ears of II. ]. Weller, chairman of the
committee on public comfort, he breath
ed sigh of relief. Two houses on
First street, in the Senate square, are
still occupied however

even though escaping, must be a far
from pleasing experience. Doubtless
much good will come out of this case.
1t viii be a lesson not only to Judge
SWayne, but to the judiciary in gen.
eral. The country expects the men on
the bench to maintain a high standard
not merely as to just and fearless con-
struction Of the law, but as to ethics
and personal demeanor They are re-
garded as a superior class. to whom
preferment has come as a reward for
ability, and that integrity shall be
part of their equipment is so thor
oughly understood as to need no men
ton. For judge to come under any
shadow of doubt as to any of these
qualifications is for him to lose a
measure Of his usefulness.
The report that Judge Swayne will
resign will be believed. Such course
would be natural. Until the decision
of the court he could not have retired
without q tacit admission Of culpabil-
ity. Now that he has been acquitted
he can regard himself as indicated
At the same time it would hardly by
possible for him to retain his place
with any thought that in the public
esteem he held the station to which
by common consent he was entitled

the blue bunting which is Iayishly used

doubly triumph because neither de-
