REWRITING HISTORY

IN speech in the Senate the other day ra-
pIylng TO certain charges made against him in
Inc Cosmopolitan Magazine the Hon Josenb
w BAILEY referred incidentally to Senator Cor
mans activities in remodelling the Wilson rs,riA
Dill OF 1884. Mr.. Bailey was a Representative in
congress at that time, and, as a rising man in
lhe Iexas delegation and in the Southern wing
VI Tue party, had an important share in sbaDing
the tariff policy Of the Democratic majority. He
| should be expected TO remember the incidents of
the memorable struggle over free sugar and free
raw materials between the House and the SON
aIe which ended with complete abandonment
VI the Houses position Yet we find him offer
ing a version of the Wilson bills retouching in
'ie senate which makes one wonder what form
tnaI interesting episode in politics will take some
MY years hence when, with accumulated color
ing and emendations, it passes into history.
MI. Bailey was chiding the "Cosmopolitan's"
writer for saying that as chairman of the Senate
FINANCE Committee Mr.. German effected those
changes in the Wilson bill which President
Cleveland subsequently denounced as "perfdv
and dishonor." AS the Texas Senator Justly
pointed out Mr.. German was not then or at
any other time chairman of the Senate Finance
committee; nor was he even a member of thar
committee in 1894 Yet in his eaeerness to
AdghlIy thls error (at most q trivial one for
WHAT MI Gorman accomplished he ACCOMPLISHED
as chairman of the Democratic caucus NOT as
chairman Of the Senate Finance Committeel Mr.
Bailey is willing, apparently, TO create the i'm
preston that Mr.. German had no controlling or
authoritative part in the Senates revision. He
says, ingeniously:
| Every man who knows anything about tariff
| ieslsiation knows perfectly well that for MANY
! yedts the practice has been that the maiorit3,
| tnenpers or the Committee on WAYS and Means
| IN the House OF Representatives first make the

Doubtless Yale partisans felt their spirits
sink into their boots last Thursday when they
saw-On the Thames or the dcker-the Yale
boat trailing across the finish line in the rear
of Harvard. But we persuaded that, hav-
ing recovered from the shock, they are all ready
to acknowledge that Harvard's we'll earned vic

feats. is a good thing for the boating interests
of both universities. 1t is exceedingly credita-
BILE to Harvard that her valorous temper, though
occasionally q trif1e wlted, perhaps, has never
been broken by the buffets of fortune, but con-
dolences Indefinitely renewed could hardly have
failed to produce demoralizing effect.
One Of Harvard's chief troubles-perhaps the
main cause of her tedious inferiority on the
water-has been her shifting and incompetent
processes of preparation for the annual race at
New London. This year a continuity of sound
methods was rewarded by a brilliant victory
over q stubborn foe. AS for Yale a long su-
premacy had not engendered carelessness and
disdan Of an ancient and honorable antagonist,
but, nevertheless, Christening experience will
do nobody at New Haven harm, and the gen
eral public is well pleased.

THE PERIL OF THE CZAR.

While reports concerning the movements and
intentions of the Gar are contradictory, the
probability seems to be that he will not leave
Russia, but will remain at Peterhof all sum-
mer. That is the most secure of his residences
and the one most advantageously situated in
case of any desperate emergency. Exraordi-
nary precautions are being taken to assure his
safety, and his mode Of life will apparently be
not very different from that of his father dur
ing some of the years Of terror.
That there is need of such precautions is only
too clearly indicated. partly by the appalling
list of asSassnations of prominent men in
Russia in the last year and partly by the un-
disputed reports of serious diSaffectiOn in the
army and in that very part of the army upon
the loyalty of which the Gar has most conf
IDENTIFY counted. When the Cars own house
hold regiment is found to be tainted with trea-
son it certainly seems to be time for strenuous
measures.
Army disaffection should, of course, not be
surprising news to those who have diligently
followed the progress of affairs in Russia
Months ago we told i'll detail in these columns
the story of the revOlutionist propaganda, which
involved high officers as well as the rank and
file of the Russian army. That account is now
amply verified and the army is seen to be as
little trustworthy against domestic treason as
it was ineffective against foreign foes.
Such a state OF affairs must surely give the
Gar much food for thought. With the army
loyal and effective it would be grave thing TO
antagoniZe the Russian nation. With the army
untrustworthy and in part actually turned
against him such a conflict would seem TO
be madness. The psychological moment may
not yet have passed in which the Car might
Identify himself with his people and make his
headship of the nation secure. But it will not
be prudent too long to neglect opportunities of
doing that. Charles [ of England and Louis
XVI of France let the golden moments pass,
with disastrous results. 1t is for Nicholas II
70 avert such results by avoiding the causes
which produced them.
New-York tribune., 1906-06-30
TAuTNG THE TRUSTS.

Colonel Bryan's latest manifesto on the trust
question, issued from the ancient capltal or
Norway has been received with mixed feelings
nv the conservative Democrats, who have been
trying to persuade themselves that the Ne
braska statesman has become an archconServa-
tive. Our former neghbOr The Times" is
disposed to twit Colonel Bryan with being so
little up to date as to imagine that he can make
an issue of trust regulation in the campaign of
1908. By that time it argues, the trusts will
all be tanned and under bonds TO keep the
peace The Boston Herald" however, is not
a little worried by the Democratic leaders an
nOuncement that private mOnOpOlieS must be
exterminated." Does this mean. it asks, that
natural monopolies, like the supply of water,
gas, telephone service. etc. in cities must be
taken over by the municipalities? If so, it is
hardly prepared TO admit the authenticity of
Colonel Bryan'S conversion. to reckon him in
the category of the safe and sane"
With these differences of opinion among the
guardians of Jeffersonian tradition we have no
special concern but inclined 10 agree
with Judge Peter S. GrosscUp, of the United
States Circuit Court that Colonel Bryans re-
cent deliverances on the trust question are too
vague either to excite alarm or to point the
way to wholesome action 1t is proper enough
to denounce aw-breakng corporations and TO
threaten private monopolies with determination,
but, as Judge Grosscup pointed out in his ad-
dress in Kansas the other day, ii is futile and
misleading TO attack the principle of incorpora-
uon as such and to inveigh against it as if IT
were an lniquitous economic invention. Jeffer-
sonian philosophers may dream of restoring the
old system of unrestricted competition among
individuals, but the world has outgrown that
system, and to discard the principle of combina-
uon would be TO set the worlds progress back
q century. We cannot afford to lose the advan-
tages of combination in production and indus
try, and II is a mistaken policy 10 discredit or
seek TO discredit the principle underlying the vast
displacement of individual by corporate enter
prise. The thing to do is 10 check the abuses
which have come from a too rapid DEVELOPMENT
or corporations and to harmonic their uses
with individual rights and interests
Judge Grosscup truly says that in approach
ing thls problem public opinion has been work
ing more or less ain a fog" But the fog is
beginning TO break. We have been blinded bv
our devotion to the Jeffersonan doctrine of
ialsseZ faire TO the dangers of an extraordinary
/ concentration OF power in the hands of cor
porate combinations possessing none of the re-
sponslbilties, but enjoying all the immupities
OF individuals. We have been extremely care
less about holding these corpora tons 10 strict
