Note: The foregoing precious Por-
ter-house steak is cut from one of
the Hearst Newspapers.
Last year, Mr.. Hearst was doing
exactly what he now damns Pulitzer
for doing. Last year, Hearst was the
ally of Tammany.
Pulitzer; who owns the New York
World, didn't want to play second
fiddle to the Hearst newspapers, and
that is probably why it now takes
the place which Hearst took last
year.
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-10-31
THIS YEAR Mr.. PULITZER HAS
GOTTEN HIS PRICE.

For years Mr.. Pulitzer has assailed
Tammany Hall. For years he cried
out at the iniquities Of Croker, and
IN later years the pages of his pa
per- have teemed with fierce and al
most frenzied denunciation Of Nc
Clellan and Murphy. People who
did not know Mr.. Pulitzer imagined
that the "moral awakening" sweep
ing over the country had caught Mr..
Pulitzer in an eddy, and that these
violent attacks were due to some righ-
teous moral sentiment, some sincere
indignation at debauchery and corrup-
ton, some honest desire to accomplish
reforms.
But no. 1t appears now that the
only reason for Mr.. Pulitzer's opposi-
ton to Tammany was that he had
not been bought. It appears now that
his fnlminations against the fraud
and graft and vice ard thievery Of
Tammany were merely an expression
OF resentment at the neglect shown
him.
This year Mr.. Pulitzer is out for
Murphy. This year he is an ardent
supporter Of Tom Foley, the election
thief. This year Mr.. Pulitzer is for
the whole Tammany ticket, and for
the whole Tammany organization, and
for all the corrupt Tammany methods.
This year Mr.. Pulitzer has gotten his
price-not very big price, either,
but probably all that he is worth.
Mr.. Pulitzer's personal attorney,
Jimmy Girard, has been nominated
for the Supreme Court.
The Gas Trust rejoices too at Jim
my's nomination, for Jimmy has also
done work for them-and may again
but there is no joy like the Joy Of
Pulitzer. Long regarded as a man
whose opposition was moro valuable
than his support, long welcomed as
an antagonist and avoided as an ally,
he has at last compelled considera-
tion-or a consideration-and he is
doing his shameful best to earn it.
The consideration was small, and
for it Mr.. Pulitzer has not only eaten
his own words, which must taste bad
enough, but he has swallowed tick
ct and a political program that would
gag a ghoul and choke an old and
hardened hyena.
Surely for such work the price is
cheap; one might almost say az cheap

FEROCTOUS ATTACK ON BRIT
, ISH LORDS.


Especial cable to the New York
American.)
London, Oct. 1O.-".A dissolute no.
bility descended from a tainted an
cestry," is the terrible indictment
brought against the bulk of the Eng
lish peerage by Henry Labouchere,
the fearless editor and critic.
Resorting to no seft artifce Of
words to hide the severity of the ar
raignment the editor Of "Truth" de-
clares that the majority of the hold
ers of titles i'll England today are the
wcakling descendants Of infamous
forbecrs.
He mercilessly pillories some of the
greatest names and titles in England
and declares the present holders of
them to be descended from illicit
unions and fragrant liaisons of the
past.
He declares that some Of the fair
est estates in all England are vested
In the descendants of illegitimate off
spring of former kings and great no
bles, children Of the mistresses of
kings and powerful rulers.
Much has been said of tainted mon
ey and questionable business methods
in America, but there have been no
attacks on the homes Of the master
freebooters of finance. With ruthless
hand Labouchere tears back the cur
tain from the ancient private life of
many Of the greatest families in Eng
land. He points out that the govern
ing body in the House cf Lords is
composed cf men descended from rob-
ber barons and weak-moraled favor
ties.
Greatest Names in England.
Taking some Of the greatest titles
in England Labouchere shows how
they were created by kings to care
for illegitimate offspring or to pla-
cate discarded mistresses.t Referring
to some of the greatest estates in
England he shows how they were
parceled out to pay for the amodrs
Of monarchs and to care for children
across whose birth record the bar sim
lister is drawn. Categorically sum-
ming up he points out the absurdity
Of vesting in these descendants Of
questionable unions of the past the
hereditary power Of ruling through
the House Of Lords.
In scathing article headed with
fine sarcasm "Our Old Nobility"
Mr.. Labouchere takes up the question
Of u continuance of the House of
Lords as a vested ruling body, and
then name by name catalogues the
present holders Of the titles and
points whence the title descended and
why it was conferred.
AS "Who's Who" In the world
OF aristocracv IL In fInnaraIIalAd
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-10-31

TOOCeu IN QlShOnOr, Mr.. LabOu-
chere proceeds to tell England some Of
the history of it's great houses, and
the facts concerning the forbears of
the men who are ruling England
through the House of Lords.
Right of Lords Denounced.
Just at present there is an agita-
ton going on for curbing the House
Of Lords as coordinate branch of
the English governing body. Mr..
Labouchere, speaking Of this, says
that the people of England are not
nimble witted and are not inclined to
study their institutions from strict
ly logical point Of view. He says
they tolerate the hereditary branch
of the Legislature only because they
are accustomed to it, and rarely, if
ever, pause to inquire into the origin
of an individuals 8 right to a seat in
the House cf Lords, carrying with it
the power to reject OF alter legisla-
ton which has been passed by the
elected representatives of the people
in the House Of Commons.
Declaring that they may learn
something of the way in which mod
ern peerages are conferred Mr.. La
bouchere makes the broad statement
that the people of England do not
realize that a large proportion of the
peerages which have descended from
generation to generation were origi-
nally created under circumstances
which no one in the present day would
dare approve of, no court condone.
No Epithets too Strong.
Mr.. Bright in commenting upon
these hereditary privileges said that
the titles were held by the spawn of
corruption and blunders and wars of
the dark ages. Mr.. Labouchere saws
that Mr.. Bright did not use too strong
language, and that in the present ag-
ltatlon which has become a political
issue, looking to the curtailing of the
powers OF these hereditary legisla-
tors, 1T Is just as well the people
learned a few facts as to how these
titles came to be conferred and that
ne feels it his duty to throw little
light on history.
Let us take few illustrations in
proof of this assertion" says Mr.. La
bouchere. "Great Britain, which ex-
PEELED from the throne the Stuart
dynasty, has tolerated for more than
two centuries after the expulsion of
the legitimate Stuart rulers the rule
of their illegitimate descendants in
the House of Lords.
"The first Dukes of Grafton, Rich
mond, st. Albans and Buccleuch were
the illegitimate sons Of Charles III.
They were raised to the peerage-
the Duke of Grafton at nine years Of
age; the Duke Of Richmond at three;
the Duke of st. Albans at six
and the Duke of Buccleuch at four
teen-not for any private merits of
their own, and not for their nobility.
but for the infamy of their birth.
Compliments to Marlborough.

THE LEVEE STRIKE AND
ARBITRATION.

the letter OF Mayor Behrman, asking
for a general investigation Of the
whole question of charges at this port
compared with Galveston with view
to discovering and removing the
causes which make it impossible for
New Orleans to compete with trade
rivals, and forwarded to him a reply
which accepts his proposition under
certain conditions.
The conference agrees to undertake
complete and thorough investiga-
tion, provided that the Screwmen
agree in advance to accept the ver-
dict already rendered, namely, the
hand-stowing of 200 bales of cotton
per day at the old rate of wages,
that rate to prevail during the prog
ress Of the investigation and arbitra-
ton, and also to agree in common
with the other interests to accept the
final verdict Of the arbitrators. The
conference further proposes that, in
the event that the labor interests
agree to go to work at once, an
arbitration or investigating commits
sion be formed to consist of two men,
bers from each side, with the Chief
Justice of the State Supreme Court
as the fifth member.
The action of the conference of Ex-
changes is satisfactory insofar as it
expresses willingness to have gen.
eral investigation, and TO arbitrate
the existing differences, but in IL
sisting upon the 200 bales per day as
the work of the Screwmen pending
arbitration, The Picayune believes
that mistake has been made, in the
sense of prejudging the case, or at
least one phase Of it. 1t may be per-
fectly true that an investigation will
show that 200 bales per day is by nc
means big days work, but why as
sumo that In advance when that Is
one of the matters in contention? It
should seem that it would have been
fairer to insist that all other classes
Of labor but the Screwmen should re-
sumo work at the old rate, since there
has been no serious difference of opin-
ion on that score, and that the Screw
men also go to work agreeing in ad-
vance to abide by the verdict of the
arbitration board, both as to future
rates Of pay as well as to the com
pensation to be paid during the peri I'd
that the arbitration board is in ses-
sion. That would avoid all appear
ance of prejudging any Ephase of the
matters in contention.
With respect to the general char
acter Of the proposed board of arbi-
tration, or investigation, there can
be no criticism. 1t may bs that the
Hon. Chief Justice may not have The
time or the inclination to preside,
particularly as the questions involved
are not legal questions, but purely
economic problems which practical
business man or a statistician would
be better able to solve than a Judge
learned in the law.
Aside from the points noted The
Picayune believes that the acriOn IF
