Gov. oummins, standpatter.

Mr.. Perkins. the stand-pat candidate for
the republican nomination of governor of
Iowa. makes a new proposition to Governor
Cummins respecting the state convention.
This is that all instructions be Cancelled ard
delegates permitted to vote their own
views. AS matters stand Gov. Cuplmns
Is thought to have considerably the best
of the situation. 1t Is a good time for Gov
Cummins to stand pat. He has made his
fight, and seems TO have won it. and the
rest should be left to regular party usage
OF course Mr.. Perkins feels badly His
campaign opened and was conducted with a
good deal of confidence and tall claiming
and stand-pat circles all over the country
were promised the scalp of Gov. Cummns

and stand-patters. however, are sometimes
defeated. Mr.. Perkins a politician should
study the art of surrendering gracefully. 1t
is as important an art as winning modestly

BRYAN and Taggart,

In an Indianapolis dispatch to the New
York Tribune appears the following:
while the political enemies of Taggart
see in the developments at French Lick
sufficient answer to the democratic demand
flor reform, Taggart's enemies within the
party are preparing to carry the matter
into the fight against his reelection as ma
tional chairman of the democratic party.
They have declared that a man who Is at
the head of a Monte Carlo. no matter what
may be his capacity as a leader, Is not the
one to be at the head of great party or
ganzatIon. and especially is this true when
the people are peculiarly alive to the EVIL or
gambling and prone to see in an organiza-
ton nothing better than is found In It's
leadership 1t is argued that with Taggart
at the head of a hotel in which gambling
IS openly carried on, in which the laws re-
garding Sunday are defied, the democratic
party cannot appeal to the people as par
~ of progress. or even of good morals. and
II is not believed that Bryan would be will
ing to go into a campaign with Taggart
at the head of the organization
These Indiana democrats need not worry
about Mr.. Bryan. If he Is nominated in
1908 Mr.. Taggart as campaign manager will
be quite out of the question. He made no
objection 10 the choice In 1904 because that
was not his funeral He probably thought
Mr.. Taggart as we'll suited for the chair
manship Of the party's national committee
as Judge Parker for the party's standard
bearer. The st. Louis convention left him
loyal but thoroughly Disguised He gave
the ticket his support. but there was not a
day when defeat did not appear inevitable
TO him.
On the subject of managing q campaign
Mr.. Bryan has shown convictions and the
courage of them. In 1896 he was urged to
invite Mr.. German to assist Chairman
Jones. He was reminded that Mr.. German
had managed the Cleveland campaign in
1884. and been for years the successful
head Of his party in Maryland. Moreover
MIR. German was on terms of the closest
personal friendship with Mr.. jones' and the
latter, it was known, would be glad to have
the Maryland man at the council table. A
candidate without sand would have yielded
Mr. Bryan declined the overture. He did
not like Mr.. German. and would not have
him among his advisers. OF Mr.. Germans
shrewdness he had no doubt. OF his achieve
ments as a managing politician he was
thoroughly advised. That the party had
the hardest of hard rows to hoe Mr.. Bryan
In private must have conceded. Still. as he
had no faith in Mr.. German he would not
accept such assistance at his hands as in
case of success would give Mr.. German
claims upon the administration. He well
knew that Mr.. German was not friend of
silver. and he had seen him stuff tariff
bill full of protection.
With this record Mr.. Bryan Is in no dan
ger of calling such man as Mr.. Taggart
to his side in great campaign. Appeals
based upon good nature would have no
effect ON him. There is nothing whatever in
common between him and the hustling.

Back Yards and Public Health.

While the typhoid fever experts are look
ing around to find the cause of the disease
prevalence In this District they might
probably turn their attention to the dirty
back yards that abound in some parts of
Washington This condition may not &C
count for the wide spread of the fever
throughout the District but II may be held
responsible for the low state OF the public
health in spots. 1t Is undenIable that the
back yards of Washington, owing largely
70 the shielding influence of the high
fences With wnieSs this city Is equipped, are
in a low state OF order and cleanliness. It
IS the slovenly habit OF many householders
to use these spaces as dumping grounds
Trash OF all kinds is allowed to aCcumu-
late. Garbage cans not carefully dis
posed and refuse Is permitted to gather in
damp corners until nuisances are generated.
Nelghbors are loath to complain of the
laxity Of those responsible for such CON
ditions. yet at times they are forced to do
so for the sake OF their health and at least
their physical comfort. When such COM
plants are received the police and health
departments move to some extent In COM
polling a cleaning up. but they seldom take
the initiative and examine into the state
OF things behind the fences. Seekers for
'+Ht4''S ~ ACi4N are often appalled, Dy the
filthy state OF the back yards they inspect.
and are in some cases deferred from taking
premises which are otherwise attractive
because OF the evidences OF insanitary
habits on the part of previous tenants
Reai estate agents can do much TO cure
these conditions by having the back yards
cleaned up thoroughly after slovenly ten
ants leave.
Typhoid fever itself probably does not Turk
in these piles OF refuse and these damn. H.
smelling corners OF back yards But such
conditions unQuestonably have a deleteri-
Gus effect UPON the health OF those who
live close TO them. II Is impossible to keep
perfectly well when sour smells flow into
the windows from the ni-kept back yards
close at hand, If the police have no power
at present to examine private premises to
detect and cure such conditions they should
be so authorized. for the sake of the gem
eral health OF the community.

whole case OF the packers upon prepos-
terously low plane, that of stubborn denial
of established facts. He aIienates the pub
lie sympathy, 80 far as It has not already
been turned from the meat men, by accus-
ing Congress OF legisiating upon insufficient
information. In the second place he tries
to turn attention away from the true issue.
the wholesomeness OF the meats eaten In
this country, to the money lost to the pack
ing trade and its accessory Industries in the
foreign market. The case has come fatty
down to this basis. that the American peo-
pie do not care a snap of the fingers now
whether the foreign trade is ruined or not.
They know that the packers have been
cheating them systematically and menacing
their health for years. and they are entirely
willing that the packers and ali who con-
tribute to their works should suffer the PEN
atty. especially II such suffering brings re-
form In it's train. II the losses outside OF
this country are only an incident to the
process Of reform they must be borne philo-
sophically. If they constitute q lever to
secure reform they are to be welcomed In
the third place, Mr.. Morris resembles man
suffering from acute denentia when he
says that only one man read THE Jungle
That book did the business. 1t was read by
great iauitituoe OI peoplS Lie puuliSucfS
reports show that about 100000 copies have
already been sold. That means probably
half a million readers. Perhaps. what with
libraries and newspaper serial publication.
the book has been read by this time by
two million people. And 1t has been be-
lieved. There was public sentiment pub
lie demand behind the action of Congress.
Otherwise there could have been no action,
considering the undeniable power of the
packers in the national legislature.
With J. Ogden Armour declaring in his
book and in interviews that Packingtown
is place OF purity and sweetness undefiled.
and with Nelson Morris asserting that
there is no public demand for meat-packing
reforms, the standard Of mental ability in
the beef trust begins to look as low as the
standard of cleanliness and honesty.

Depew.

Yarns about Mr.. Depew, his condition
and intentions. have been numerous and
contradictory for months. Now we were
told that his place of sojourn was a mys-
terry, and now it was described with the
utmost particularly. Now he was pictured
as a physical and mental wreck, sunken
and sorrow-stricken, a mere shadow of his
former self, and now as in strength again
and almost entirely recovered from his de-
preston. Now his resignation from the
Senate was promised without delay, and
now it was stated he had no thought of re-
signing. The topic was such that a certain
interest and probability attached to every
thing that appeared.
Somehow the latest news about the sena-
tor Is unusually persuasive. This Is that
his health and spirits are fair again, and
that after his usual visit to Europe he will
resume business. 1t Is further stated that
we shall see him IN the Senate next winter,
and that so far as known he expects to
serve out his term IN that body.
Mr.. Depew does not rank in popular ap-
praisement with politicians of the first
class. His success in the political field has
been due to agencies other than political.
But he Is enough of q politician to see that
his resignation at this time would add ma
terially to his party's embarrassments at
home. The republicans of New York are
already In a state of much confusion and
bitterness over offices and aspirants for
offices. and should United States senator
ship be thrown into the arena difficulties
would be increased a hundredfold. Not
fewer than a dozen men would at once set
sail for the prize. and the rivalries and jeal-
ousies would shake the party from one end
to the other of the commonwealth. His
best service at this time s to sit tight and
say nothing, and let events shape them
selves.
( While his colleague has been under SO
severe a fire and so deeply affected by 1t,
Mr.. Plat. though not spared, has gone his
way serenely. He has sought no secluson.
He has lost no sleep. He has replied to no
criticism. While the debates in the Senate
over one bill and another We're at their
warmest he kept his peace and was I'M
moved. 1t did not matter a farthing to
him what the public thought or said about
his silence. Reslgning his office. we may
be sure, has been farthest from his
thoughts. Mr.. Platt. unlike his colleague,
is a practical politician whose sensitive
ness to criticism long ago disappeared.

Turkeys Incivility.

From the New York Times.
The sultans opposition to the raising Of
the American legation in Constantinople to
an embassy is. of course entirely under
stood. The sultan does not desire near
him diplomatio> representative Of the
United States. whose rank gives him the
privilege of comforting personally with the
sultan on any matter of fnterna tional bust
ness. In the curious fntricacies of diplo-
matte relations it would be an insult to the
sovereignty which an ambassador more inn
mediately represents for the sovereign of the
country that he is accredited to to decline to
see him personally, while such a declination
In regard to an envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary would not have
quite that effect. and still less such a decli-
nation In the case of a mere minister resi-
dent But it Is evident that the sultan can
not without international incivility decline
to receive an ambassador when an ambas-
sador is duly accredited to him. Very
likely the sultan would prefer to reduce the
rank of several of the ambassadors already
accredited to him SO that they should no
longer be entitled to invade his privacy with
the public business of their several states.
But that is past praying for.
