WASHINGTON


The younger clerks are directly re-
sponsible for the present onslaught
upon the whole class. For years they,
and especially those of them from the
South, have been, besieging Congress
men with baselessI stories as to the in
capacity of the older clerks, who were
getting high salaries. Those appointed
regular sieges to their members to have
sweeping removals among the higher
class clerks who are in receipt of the
best salaries. It being alleged that these
were mainly L"Yankee soldiers" and
should be cleared out to make room
for those from the South The feeling
is still strong south of Mason and
Dixon's line that the Government really
belongs to the South, and all the placer
under 1t, and that the presence of a man
from north of Mason and DiXon's line
is an intrusion and impertinence. Con-
sequently the most exaggerated reports
have been circulated so persistently as
to be believed about the amount of
dead wood" in the Departments.
While there are some aged and incom>
petent clerks, there are not one-hun-
dredth part as many as is constantly
alleged. These younger CLERKS are re-
sponsible for the defeat of all rational
systems proposed for the retirement OF
clerks after reaching a certain age.
Though these younger clerks are re-
ceiving from two to three times as
much as they could make in any pri-
vate employment, they absolutely re-
fused to submit to the slightest assess
ment on their salaries in order to pro
vide a retirement fund. Their attitude
Undoubtedly led directly to the drastic
temper of Congress. What ought to
be done, and what is done in some of
the leading Governments of the world,
is to make a retirement fund by taxing
the salaries of the clerks a small per-
centage and to the sum thus obtained
the Government adds an equal amount
so as to give every clerk two-thirds or
three-fourths of the pay he is receiving
at the time when he reaches the age
of retirement. Possibly the shock
which Congress is now giving these
clerks will bring them to their senses,
and some scheme like this will have a
chance to be adopted.
The National tribune., 1906-03-22

We must cordially support 1t and en-
deavor to improve it. There is abso-
lutely no other course for a man who
believes in right and Justice and hopes
to secure their dominion upon earth.
In the face of this Mr. Debs simply
states that he believes the arrested men
to be innocent, proclaims slaughter to
all who think otherwise and does his
utmost to incite rebellion and murder.
He threatens all the officers of the law.
all the courts, everybody, unless these
men are Internationally released. The
utterance is simply fiendish, as it coun-
sells and urges the overthrow of all our
legal institutions and submerging the
whole country in a wide sea of anarchy,
where we will return to the condition
of savages, and every man, weapon in
hand, carry out his schemes of revenge,
robbery or plunder. Mr.. Debs would
be a Robespierre and inaugurate a
reign of terror, with himself as the
sole arbiter as to who should be worthy
of death and the manner of his eXecu-
ton. 1t is a monument to the long
suffering and mercy of the people of
the United States that the author of
such an Infamous appeal shall go his
way unmolested by the law and guard
ed In all his rights and privileges by
the very men whom he would condemn
to slaughter.

JUDGE pAnkER.s DECLARATION.

Judge Parkers speech at Charlotte,
Va, in which he said that the next
Democratic nominee should be from
the South, has stirred up the leaders
of the party in Washington. One South
ern Senator says that Parker was the
poorest candidate 1 have ever known.
From the day Of his nomination to the
end of his campaign he never uttered
word or wrote a line or did a thing
that helped his candidacy. He was a
dead weight and drag from start to
finish. Now, I can't see why his ad-
vice should have any weight in the
next campaign"
The Senator thinks that Parker is
trying to head Off Bryan. Another Sen
lily since his defeat, and what he says
should be listened to. The West rep
resents one set of ideas; the East quite
a different one. The logic of the situa-
ton therefore points to the South to
furnish candidate, and 1t is time that
the South was recognized. Justice
Samuel Seabury, of New York, says that
the Democracy deserved defeat in 1904,
because Parker was a colorless candi-
date who represented nothing but GER
ta!E corporate interests. When the
Democratic Party stands for Democrat
ic principles and nominates a candidate
who Will stand up boldly for them 1t
will win. David 3. Hill declines to say
anything.

HURRIED TO GET WRONG.

John Sharp Williams has not Inn
proved tho estimation In which he is
held by the country by the doggerel
he put into the Congressional Record
on the fight at Mount Dajo. Mr.. Will
liams, It is true, denies the authorship,
which is somewhat to his credit as a
literary artist, for it is as poor bit OF
parodying as was ever seen. The
Charge of the Light Brigade" has been
travestied hundreds of times, but never
more unslIillfully. Almost any country
editor would throw it into the waste
basket after reading the first verse. Mr..
Williams makes much pretension to
scholarship, but il his taste Is no better
in other things than his Judgment, of
poetry he is still in the primer class
in literature.

The farmers OF New Jersey are at
tacliing the railroad problem in an
other way by insisting upon the pas
sage of a law permitting the trolley
roads to carry freight. DaIrymen,
gardeners, fruit growers, florists and
cranberry growers have descended in
force upon the Legislature of New Jer-
sey with bill indorsed by the State
Grange, State Board of Agriculture
Horticultural Society, Cranberry Grow
ers, Dairymen's Union, etc, and the
pressure has been made so great that
the Legislature can hardly resist, al
though the steam railroads are making
a vigorous fight against it. The Presi-
dent of the State Agricultural Society
says that New Jersey is the natural
garden for 100000 people who live
in the cities, and these demand the
cheapest transportation for what they
consume. The trolley roads are much
more convenient in every way than the
steam roads, since they can run more
frequent trains, can stop and start
anywhere. and they penetrate the dis
tricts which are lot reached by the
other lines.

THE MOUNT DAJo FIGHT.

Constituencies newspapers have been
taking atrociously as to the fight at
Mount Dajo, and Senators and Repre-
sentatives from whom better things
should be expected have been making
most discreditable speeches and poison
ing the public mind. 1t is humiliating
that this should be so. for the gallant
men who hunted the robbers to their
hole deserve the admiration and grati-
tude of the whole people instead OF this
vicious, cur-like barking. How abso-
lutely baseless all this stuff is IS con-
clusively shown by a cablegram from
Gen. Wood, which says:
Sensational cables sent to the Unit
ed States relating to the Mount Dajo
fight were made up in Manila. No
references in any cable from Mindanao
as to killing of women and children.
No receipt of Col. Andrews's condensed
report of the fight at Washington.
American newspapers cabled for de-
tails. Reporters had no other informa-
ton than my report telesraphed to Col.
Andrews, and supplied sensational fea-
lures"

After 80 years of exhaustive trial OF
prohibition laws. the State OF Ohio
finally adopted the Pond law, which
taxed the saloons 5000 each. This was
fiercely opposed by the women and the
Prohibition Party of the State, but the
increased to $3.50. Last week the Ohio
House of Representatives. by a close
vote. passed the Akin bill. which in
creases the tax to $1,000. The Spring
field riots had an important influence
in securing the passage of the bill, as
the citizens of that city sent petition
to the Legislature urging an increase
of tax, which would diminish the num-
Der of low saloons.

perintendents are advocating self-rule
in schools as the best means of securing
discipline. The plan involves selecting
a Tribune in each room to be the execu-

the scholars who stand high in their

the School Senae. and formulate laws
for discipline. The teacher has an alb

They are complaining loudly about the
character of the Kaiser's speeches. and
blame the Ministers for not editing
them. One of his recent utterances
was that the Germans lost the battle
of Jena because they did not trust in
God, and that misfortune only comes
when true religion and the fear OF God
are absent" The German papers say
that the defeat OF Jena came from the
corruption and incompetency in the
Prussian army. which had nothing to
do with religion. and that Napoleon,
who won the battle, was far more ire
ligious than the King Of Prussia.
