THE LONGEST WAY.

The untOngue-tled representatives
Of Mr.. Hearst will make the most Of
the excuse for bowling given by
Mayor McClellan's suit to test the
validity Of the recount act. See!
He's still afraid" Yet to induce
the bringing Of such suit has been
the chief objective Of Hearst's ma
noeuvring for six months. Delay
and a chance to lay the blame for
the delay on the other side-to this
double end the Gilsey House cabi-
net has devoted its conjoined intel
lect.
Things have not been altogether
comfortable since the Court of Ap-
peals threw open the door to quo
warranto proceedings. Attorney
General Jackson was so anxious to
institute suit that he could hard
ly wait until sworn in. But the
Court Of Appeals granted his re-
quest too speedily. 1t took away
the pretext Of languor. In this
sea of embarrassment the recount
bill was a spar, and it was eagerly
clutched. "If we can only get it, ;"
reasoned the tacticians, "and begin
proceedings in another way, the may
or will, of course, fight them, and
then we can say it's infamous the
recount doesn't take place."
There is no reason, in view Of the
latest development, to revise the
opinion that if those who supported
the recount bill really wanted re-

count they took the most effective
way to secure delay. If the mayor is
as all his enemies represent they
gave him another line Of defense aft
er his first was exhausted. If Hearst
is as insincere as his enemies assert
he was given an opportunity to con-
tinue jockeying tactics. Even now,
if there is any real desire for a re-
count, the quo warranto method will
more quickly secure it than the 9TH
er. None are more fully advised Of
this fact than the Hearst attorneys.
If they persist in taking the longest
way around but one inference is pos
sible.-New York Globe.

stronghold Of Democracy. No i'm
preston can be made on the National
Democratic party without the South s
sanction. The Independence League
stands for none of the policies this
section holds as essential to South
ern interests. It will appeal to the
preiudices Of the unlearned and the
passion of the injudicious, but it can
in no way benefit the South.-Nash-
vile Banner.

NEW YORK'S NEW COMMIS-
SION.

The New York public utilities bill
calls for two commissions Of five
men each, and Governor Hughes ran
sacked his state to find men of ca
pacity and integrity. The salary of
each commissioner is $4,000 a year,
and this has given the governor o
New York pretty good opportunity
in his search for frst-class men. His
appointments are as follows:
First District (Greater New York;
William R. Wilcox, chairman;
William McCarroll, Edward M. Bas-
sett, Milo Roy Maltbie, John E. Eus-
tis.
