1.-THE AGE OF cLAMOR."
"PubIic Evils Cannot He Cured by
Whispering Against Them"


One OF the speakers at a convention re-
Gently held here said resretfully that we
are drifting into an age OF clamor" He
is disturbed by the noise made by people
shouting for the abatement OF real or
fancied evils. He wishes they would lower
their voices and discuss with gentlemanly
composure the reforms they advocate. The
difficulty is that in an age Of business and
hustle he who talks IT, still small
voice" cannot be heard and might as well
keep silent. A man must clamor and shrek
in order to be heard and command at
tention.
Most reforms have had to be clamored
for. They could not have been obtained
otherwise in reasonable time. II they had
been asked for mildly and conservatively
the persons whose purses would be touched
would have maintained a discreet silence
and the general public would not have
been stirred to action. There would have
been no factory or child labor legislation
II it had not been clamored for. The pack
ers are improving conditions in their
houses. They object TO the clsmor that
has been raised, and say that II they had
been told quietly Of evils that ought to be
remedied they would have attended to the
matter Perhaps they might have done
suggest to the men, in charge Of work
shop or factory that they should make ex-
pensive improvements are told to mind
their own business.
There are some desirable reforms which
are unattainable merely because several
men with strong lungs are not shouting
for them and giving highly colored ac-
counts of dreadful conditions which would
disappear IL the reforms were introduced.
Attention was called twenty years ago to
many of the life insurance abuses which
have recently been exposed. The state
ments were not made vocIferously enough
TO catch the public ear. and the house
cleaning in the companies was left for the
age OF clamor."
II is true that cranks, Missionaries,
pseudo reformers, and mischief makers
are clamoring for unwise or vicious legis-
lation as loudly as genuine reformers are
asking for needed legislation. They at
tack imaginary evils as strenuously as the
others do real evils. But the false re-
formers are no more noisy in his age than
they have been in preceding ages. The
public is not in the habit OF taking for
gospel all that II hears from irresponsible
individuals. II usually remains unmoved
by their cIamor and heeds only that OF
persons whom II looks on as measurably
responsible.
Society cannot get along without clamor.
II is the great agent for the removal OF
abuses. Those who complain the most OF
It's strident, discordant voice are the ones
who are directly OF indirectly interested in
the continuance OF the bad conditions
against which elamor is raised. Thus rail-
road men think there has been an I'M
necessary clamor against railroad manage
ment. Deep seated evils cannot be cured
by whispering against them.

AGREEMENT ON INSPECTION.

The basis of final agreement on the
meat inspection bill between the presi-
dent and the house committee on agri-
culture insures speedy enactment of a
measure which will be both thorough
and practical, The agreement includes
all the main points as to which the
president has been most solicitous and
renders mere specific and direct the
provisions of the substitute prepared
in the house committee for the bill as
1t passed the senate.
While the house committee has
yielded on some points, the president
recedes as TO taxing the cost Of inspec-
ton upon the packers or by an ar
bitrary fee per head of live stock, and
agrees to defraying it out of the ma
tional treasury. At no time, however
was the president welded to the
former method, having explicitly de-
clared in his special message to con-
gress that Mis- main concern was to
avoid failure of inspection through in
adequate appropriation for it's support
by some subsequent congress. The
house bill, in the amended form. pro-
vides against this so far as it is pos
sible to do so, thus securing the sub
stance of the presidents original pur-
pose.
II is safe to predict that the inspec-
ton measure in the final form which II
will take in conference between the
two houses will be made more strin-
gent rather than reduced below the
basis now agreed upon between the
president and the house committee
And it is noteworthy that the big pack
ers are beginning to show a DISPOSE
ton to abandon effort to prevent OF
delay effective inspection.

There is not aud has not been in the

THE REPUBLICAN JUBILEE.


The celebration of the fftieth ami
versary of the republican party is APP
propriate, both for the Importance of
the event it commentaries and for its
suggestions OF present expediency. A
party which during most Of the half
century since II became a truly ma
tional organization has been so related
TO American conceptions of duty and
interest as to be trusted with direction
of public affairs except for only a dec
ade altogether, represents a movement
worthy of study.
Two facts in the early days of the
party should stand out more prom
inently in popular contemplation than
they do. In the first place, while the
party was organized in response to
growing liberal and moral sentiments.
IL was distinctly and thoroughly con-
sentative. Though II grew out of i'm
pulses and convictions to which hu-
man slavery was repugnant, the repub-
lican party was not originally an abo-
litionist party, and both in it's platform
on which Fremont was nominated in
1856 and in that on which Lincoln was
! elected president in 1860 did not pro-
post to interfere with slavery in states
where slavery constitutionally existed,
but only to prevent its extension out
side of them, into United States terri
tories, which would later become
states of the union.
The paramount party purpose thus
was essentially the reverse Of radical
! Hostile to slavery on moral, humani-
tartan and economic grounds, it yet
did not lose sight of the value of the
union and of the sanctity of the con-
stitution, and with faith in the right
eousness of the cause and in the in
tegrity of the people 1t proposed a
program at once conservative and lib
eral, progressive and practical. And
no party in critical times was ever
more completely personified than re-
! publicanism in Lincoln, in whom eau
ton and farsightedness we're as con-
spicuous as his humanitarian sympa-
thies were profound.
In like manner original republican,
ism came OPPORTUNITY to represent the
adequacy of the federal constitutional
powers generally as the instrument Of
rapidly developing needs for national
government as against narrow and OBJ
structionist states rights views and
prejudices. The exigencies Of civil war
enormously accelerated the evolution
of nationalism, but its results merely
anticipated the demands which unpar-
alleled Industrial and commercial de-
velopment have since created.
Reflection should admonish intelli-
gent republicans that identically the
same spirit which directed the party
in its origin, conservative in cardinal
points, but facing honestly and cour-
ageously towards the future, with pos
tive and progressive practical attitude
on vital questions, is the only spirit in
which 1t can maintain it's prestige and
serve the substantial interests of the
| people.
