The senate's MINORITY Leadership.

Who will succeed Mr.. German as minority
leader in the Senate? During Mr. German
illness the question was often discussed,
but of course left open. Now that the SEN
ator is gone it will have to be decided
Mr.. German was accorded his place by
reason of his large and long experience in
politics. as well as by reason of his gifts
as a strategist and his equable tempera-
ment. His admirers boasted that it was
as difficult TO mislead him as to rattle him.
He as they claimed. always saw clearly
and acted calmly. This, coupled with his
many years in Office of one kind or an
other, gave him great prestige. He justi-
fed his party's confidence in some things,
but failed In others. Since his return to the
Senate after an absence of few years ne
had not come up to his former mark.
Whether 1t was because of failing health,
of changed conditions in the Senate,
opinion is divided Certain 1t is that he
could not hold his party together in the
matter of the Panama canal, and equally
certain it seems to be that he could not
have improved upon the generalship dis
played In the matter of the railroad rate
bill. That measure. for several reasons.
would have baffied him as it did the DEM
ocrats who tackled it.
Mr.. Bdney lS mentioned TOT the SuCCeS-
sion, and as a senator he has some very
striking qualities. He Is, what Mr.. Cor
man was not. a brilliant speaker. He Is.
what Mr. German was not, a trained law
yer and a man of wide reading. He is
probably as good parliamentarian as was
Mr.. German. But he is the very opposite
of Mr. German in the matter of tempera
nent and the excitable man Is rarely ever
a strategist.
Not unlikely, therefore, as cunning and
ejaculation are SO necessary in political
matters and in legislative work, the Sen
ate's minority leadership may for a time
be put into commission. as 1t were For part
of the duties, his party does not contain Mr.
Bailey's equal. He is it's best speaker in
the Senate, and one of the best read men
in general politics and constitutional law
on either side of the chamber. But those
talents must be supplemented by the talents
that Mr.. German possessed, In order that
the minority may fully improve Its oppor-
tunities. Who may be relied upon to sup
ply them? David B. Hin would meet the
emergency sngle-handed, for to the Cor
man gift for strategy he unites the Bailey
gift for debate and the Bailey knowledge of
law But Mr.. Hill by party decree, as Mr..
German now by death, is out of the Senate
forever.

home-dressed meats. Much of the land in
this part of the country is ideal for cattle
raising. and with any assurance of q fair
market the farmers of the eastern states
would find 1t profitable to go in for this
trade on liberal scale. With the supply
of live stock guaranteed in circumstances
to render them comparatively independent
of the railroads. through the transport of
the animals on the hoof. local butchers
could easily meet t.c demands of their
customers.
OF course any tendency toward indepen-
dent slaughtering by small concerns would
meet with determined opposition on the
part OF the beef trust. Underselling In
this and that city would put the consumer
to the test of deciding whether to take adj
vantage OF the temporarily lower prices
offered by the trust or to stand by the local
butcher for the sake of the assurance of
continued competition and reliable sanitary
inspection. A little loyalty to home In
dustry, little enlightened and far-seeing
self-interest on the part of the consumer,
and the fight for fair trade conditions and
wholesome meat products would be won.
1t Is significant that the model abattoir
In the New York district where the laws
or health and cleanliness are strictly OBJ
served. is in opposition to the trust 1t
was started by independents whom the
trust sought to squeeze out of the market.
Every device known to the competition
killing syndlcates was applied, but the
local public was In sympathy with the In
dependents and their business throve Their
products had the reputation of being clean
and pure. With that example In evidence
there would seem to be encouragement for
local butchers throughout the country.

BRYAN and Hearst.

The most prominent men in the demo-
cratic party today are William J. Bryan
and william r. Hearst, and 1t looks as IL
the rnaneuverlng for 1908 might bring them
into sharp antagonism.
In the early days of his national leader
ship Mr.. Bryan owed everything to the peo-
pie The politicians as rule were un-
friendly to him. Some opposed him openly
and even fiercely. They characterized him
as a dangerous demagogue. Others sup
ported him under protest. simply to save
their own records They felt that they
must be regular" at any cost. Today the
politicians are coddling MIR. Bryan. Men
who could not a-bear him eight years ago.
as well as those who then supported him
perfunctorily. are nightly taken with him.
and lauding him as a wise and safe states
man. Some of Mr. Clevelands closest
friends are sounding this note
In the case of Mr.. Hearst he owed every
thing at the start to few politicians, who
under his inspiration undertook to create
sentiment in his favor for the place of ma
tional standard-bearer The people were
so apathetic that at St. Louis Mr.. Hearst
could muster but few delegates. Judge
Parker had almost a walkover. Today Mr.
Hearsts strength is with the people The
pulltlCldnS are OppoSeu 10 anu diS
banding together to fight him. August Bel
monts friends in New York and Mr.. Cleye
lands friends in Missouri are now shout
ing for Mr.. Bryan as Justify any Ne
braska democrat ever did, or ever will. Fear
OF Hearst Is making some strange bedfel-
lows With the masses. however, in New
York and elsewhere, the New York editor
seems to be making Roadway.
Now the question comes up, TO what ex-
tent can the Belmont and the Cleveland
people conJure with Mr.. Bryan's name to
Mr.. Hearst's nurt? That is their object. Il
is reasonably certain that they have not
changed their views about him The man
himself has not changed. The most that
can be said Is that they prefer him to Mr..
Hearst. whose progress begins to give them
genuine alarm.
When Mr.. Bryan lands. the situation will
he made very plain to him. VIII he assist
Mr.. Hearst in the latter's effort to down the
Belmont people? Or will he assist the Bel
mont people 10 down Mr. Hearst? When
the Belmont people a few years ago were
assisting the republicans to down Mr..
Bryan. Mr.. Hearst fought valiantly for the
Nebraskan.
II is a very nice question which awaits the
peerless leader and will test his gratitude
as well as his sagacity.

Pennsylvania.

In no other state are political conditions
s. unusual and so instructive as in Pennsyl-
vania 1t has been republican strong
hold since that party was organized. The
shibboleth of protection has alone been suf-
hcient to keep ii In line in national con-
tests by majorites that made the partys
triumphs elsewhere look small by COMPARE
son. Two years ago Mr.. Roosevelt received
a majority of over half a million. There
were not enough democrats in evidence to
make the race interesting.
This state of affairs, extending over many
years. has led to some grave local abuses.
Machine politicians have riOted in oppor-
tunlties growing out of one-party ar
rangement. The Camerons began 1t, and
Mr.. Quay continued. and enlarged, their
methods. At times, indeed. matters became
so outrageous and offensive that the people
OF the state while remaining loyal to the
republican party in national contests, turn
ed to the democracy for a local house
cleaning Robert E. Pattison was an in
strument TO this end more than once. I'M
der his leadership the republicans were sew
eral times chastlsed.
Since 1904 there has been an awakening
In Pennsylvania which has shaken the
commonwealth. In Philadelphia in Pitts
burg and elsewhere ring rule has been ex-
posed in way which has caused even the
people accustomed TO ring rule to wonder
and TO draw back. Graft seemed to lead
everywhere The pickngs OF bosses. Zig
and little, broke the record. And 80 there
was another revolt with the result shat the
republican majority Of half a million In 1904
disappeared last year. and democratic
majority Of many thousands took its place.
The oyerturn all but paralyzed the men re-
sponsble for il.
Today the republicans of Pennsylvania
are trying to get together, They must do
50 In order to win. Two state tickets ave
been nominated by them, and a divided
vote means OF course defeat at the polls
The question therefore is, viii the reform
republicans accept IN the place OF their own
the ticket named at Harrisburg yesterday,
and, II so, can that ticket win as against a
strong ticket named by the democrats7
The Harrisburg platform is an excellent
document and shows how very potent the
cry OF reform Is at this time. When the
men educated by Mr.. Quay, and. like him,
long Indifferent to public sentiment, feel
constrained to appeal for votes In such
terms. we undoubtedly have assurance that
things are looking up in this country.

Diaz.

President Diaz will lose no sleep over the
information that an organization exists In
st. Louis whose object is his overthrow. st,
Louis is long distance from base. and the
Mexican official is pretty firmly In bis seat.
Playing at conspiracy Is fad with soma
people. 1t annuses them. and does nobody
any harm. There is probably not country
in the world where a few men may not
be found full Of remedies for the correc-
ton of all defects of government. But such
men are not anarchists. Dynamite Is not
their weapon They enjoy life all the more
for seeing things as through glass darkly,
and for pouring out their sympathies for
imaginary woes. General Diaz has done his
country great service. and In nothing has
shown more wisdom than in making pro-
gressive Americans welcome within its bor-
ders.

A Public Fraud.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Better no federal legislation at all for
the inspection of packing-house products
than the emaseulated disenlboweled sub
stitute for the Beveridge amendment which
Messrs. Lorimer and Wadsworth have sub
rnitted to the House committee on agrf-
culture. The amendment does not provide
for an honest or an effective system of In
spection. 1t is contemplate subterfuge
in the interests of the packers II enacted
into law IT will enable them 10 shirk city
and state inspection without Undergoing
any of the inconvenience of adequate fed
eral inspection. 1t is worse than law
at all. for it is piece of hypocritical false
pretenses. and should be branded pub
lie fraud

Packers Should Pay.
From the New York Herald.

from the New 1Ork fitTHIu.
In view of the recent beef trust expos
ures there can be no sympathy with the
packers. The contention made yesterday
by their spokesman in Washington that the
expense incurred in inspection of products
for foreign and interstate markets should
be borne by the government should not be
entertained The cost OF thus insuring the
proper conduct of their business by rigid
inspection should be imposed upon the
packers Otherwise the failure of Congress
at any time to make adequate approprfa-
lions might destroy the service
