Governor Hoch's "Esteem."

Governor L. w. HoCH Of Kansas is a
candidate for denomination by the Re-
publican State convention, which meets
this week, and his political enemies have
caused the publication Of a story to tho
effect that he attempted to embrace and
kiss Mrs. W. E. STANLEY, the wife Of his
predecessor, while that estimable woman
was calling on him in his private office
to discuss the affairs Of the Board OF
Control Of State Charitable Institutions, OF
which she was a member. Mrs. STANLEY
was indignant and soandalized when
Governor HocH e~ndeavored to divert her
attention from State business to personal
matters, and after considering the Gov
ernor'smost unstatesmanlike conduct she
resigned from her Office.
In answer to the main accusation
against him the Governor has failed to
make denial. He says "the story is
grossly unkind and unjust" to him, His
conscience is clear, and he adds:
81 have committed no Intentional wrong and hold
the person In question in the highest esteem"
Had he restricted himself to holding
her in the highest esteem, Mrs. STANLEY
would have had no complaint to make
against the Governor. 1t was his effort
to hold her in his arms that enraged her.

Senator Good sell and the Palisades Dill.

To TEE EDITOR OF TEE SuN-Sr: I desire TO
correct a misstatcment made in q letter addressed
to you by Arthur Goadby and published In to-day's
SUN. Mr.. Goadby Is In error In stating that Scna-
tor Go odsell OF Rockland county is opposing the
Wainwright Carpenter bill. Senator Goodsell Is
supporting this measure, The bill Ia now before
tho Senate, with whom the responsibility Of passing
or killing 10 now lies.
The purpose Of the bill 10 the extension Of the PAIL
sadss PARK northward frou the lower Palisades,
along the west shore Hudson River mountains TO
stony Point Reservation. Stony Point 10 the south
ern terminus OF tho state road, TO be constructed
by the State Engineer on the wost side OF the river.
in connection with the good roads movement.
The palisades Park Board will link this state road
with the western terminal OF the proposed Henry
Hudson Bridge. Such extension also involves the
ACQUISITION for park purposes and the preservation
from further ruin OF the well known Hook Noun
tain, now being blasted Into q rubbish heap.
The fact that this year. the bin was introduced
by westchester county representatives in no Wise
rejects on Senator Goodsell but only proves the
senator's contention thas the reservation OF these
mountain river lands before II 10 TOO late and the
adaptation and development OF them for COM
bined park and highway purposes are all matters
not merely Of local but also OF State concern.

Tabah.

The dispute between Great Britain and
Turkey that arose over the occupation
by Turkish troops ui a place called
Tabah, probably of Importance only in
relation to the boundary between Egypt
and Turkey, seems now to be broad
enin0 into a more serious question.
The position Of Tabah does notappear
on any ordinary English map, but there
Ia a place called Dabah on German maps
a short distance north md slightly east
Of Akaba at the head Of the gulf OF the
same name. Whether Dabah is the
same as Tabah cannot be said for certain
on present information, but 1t seems
likely. To be reached by British or isgyp-
tan troops by sea a landing would have
to be made at Akaba, and this would be
an act of war. 1t is therefore probable
that any troops sent in that direction
from Egypt would go by land so as to
gain time and await the results Of diplo-
matte action, avoiding immediate mill
tary offence.
As will be seen by our map, the ancient
boundary between Africa and Asia ran
from the head of the Gulf OF Suez to
Ell Arish on the Mediterranean. This
place is said to have been occupied re-
Gently by Turkish troops. The con-
tested frontier starts from Raphia to
the eastward of I'll Arish, and ziszags
down to Akaba, cutting of the whole
Sinaitio peninsula from Turkey and
placing it under Anglo-Egyptian admin
istration.
Under these circumstances, Maan, to
the northeast of Akaba about sixty miles
and the head Of the first section Of the
Damascus-Hedja railway, becomes a
point OF military importance. Already
a considerable force Of Turkish troops
is said to be concentrated there, with
reenforcements up the line toward Da-
mascus ready to be moved south.

Tho Federal Government and san
Francisco.

II Is not likely that the plan preached
on Sunday at a meeting OF the finance
committee in San Francisco for an in
dorsement by Congress Of a bond issue
by the city OF 5000, 900, 900, to be used in
rebuilding operations, will receive the
| serious consideration Of Congress. MIR.
JAMES d. PHELAN, chairman Of the com
mittee, is reported to have said that
| such legislation would not be new, since
the Union and Central Pacific railroads
were built on the strength Of an indorse-
ment by the Government. But there are
men still in Congress who remember
the Governments claims for unpaid
interest against the companies and the
various refunding bills. The illustration
was unfortunate.
In principle there is no difference
between this Endorsement scheme and
the proposal Of the Union Labor party
in its national platform in 1888 that the
circulating medium be loaned to the
people upon land security at a low rate
of interest. San Francisco would offer
bonds for sale with the Government
Endorsement, the bonds bearing a low
rate OF interest; and the Endorsement
would sell them quickly. The purchaser
would look first to the city for his inter-
est and principal and afterward to the
national Government. The indorser
might never be called upon for a cent;
but why should the United States finance
the city of San Francisco?
The list of owners Of destroyed and
damaged buildings who intend to restore
and rebuild with their own capital is
growing longer every day: it is a cheer
ing sign Of the u~ndismayed courage 80
requisite in the crisis if San Francisco is
to rise from her ashes a ~remodelled city
with faith in her star. We do not be-
lieve these brave spirits would approve
Of the paternalistio plan Of the finance
committee, and it may be doubted
whether on mature consideration the
committee will press it on the attention
Of Congress.

The Responsibility for an Anthracite
Strike.


No fair minded person can read the
published correspondence between the
owners and workers Of anthracite mines
without recognizing that the privation
and suffering to which u may
be subjected by a protracted strike will
be due to the unreasonable position taken
by Mr.. JOHN MITCHELL, the spokesman
Of the miners.
Public opinion might not have been so
favorable to the owners of the hard coal
mines had the latter persisted in their
original refusal to grant any Of Mr..
MITCHELL's demands and confined them
selves to Offering a renewal for a second
~triennial period Of the agreement to
abide by the award of the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission, with which they
have complied for the three years ended
March 81, 1905. That offer is still open
but Mr.. GEORGE +. BAER, the official
representative of the mine owners and
operators, has made to the workers an
alternative proposal, namely, that the
reasonableness Of a wage advance or a
wage reduction under existing indus
+, trial and trade conditions, as we'll as of
! changes in the methods Of Cancellation,
shall be submitted to the former Anthra-
cite Coal Strike Commission, with the
understanding that if any vacancies in
the board exist these shall be filled by
President ROOSEVELT. That is to say,
the mine owners invoke the very prin-
ciple which Mr.. MITCHELL has repeatedly
advocated, and appeal to the very same
mediative fundamentally for creating
which Mr.. ROOSEVELT has been so much
extolled by the miners of hard coal, Mr..
MITCHELL, indeed, has indicated a will
ingness to accept the proposed reference
Of the questions named to arbitrator,
and to be bound by their decision, pro-
vided they announce that the present
wages are too low. He will not agree,
however, to submit to their decision if
they arrive at the conclusion that the
existing wages are too high. This, on
the face Of it, is an inequitable distinc-
ton, and suggests a doubt as to whether
Mr.. MI9cHELL's original appeal to arbi-
tration was made in good faith.
The anthracite miners will learn what
MIR. MITCHELL, on his part, well under
stands, that any strike which meets with
general d%isapproval on the part of the
community at large is doomed to failure.
In the strike of 1902 a large part of the
consumers, it will be remembered, SYM
pathized with the miners, not because
they were qualified to discuss the tech
