Culberson of Texas.

The suggestion of Mr. Culberson for
minority leader in the Senate is excellent.
He has not, 1t is true. had a large par
t.amentary experience. His services in
Texas. upon which his present place rests
we're in executive office. Both as attorney
general and governor he showed Il
capacity for public business which won
great favor. and the senatorship followed
is a deserved promotion.
But Mr.. Culbcrson, In the short time he
has been in the Senate. has demonstrated
aptitude for Legislative work. and ranks
with the best men of his party there. He
is a quiet seJf-cOntained man. not easily
ratified. Flattery. especially. cuts no Ice
with him. Wall streets effG2iveness,
poured out in an effort to inveigle him
into an anti-Bryan movement, all went
for nothing. While no orator. he is a good
speaker. He Is aggressive without being
offensive. calculating without being cold.
He has many friends on both sides Of the
chamber.
The democrats Of late years have not
been well served in the matter of leader
ship in the Senate. Mr.. German toward
the close of MS career lost his prestige,
and seemed to lose his acumen. The re-
publican triumph in Maryland in 1895 was
a blow to him. and this vas speedily fol-
lowed b. the rise Of Organism in the
democratic party. with which he was not
IN sympathy After losing his seat in the
Senate he recovered il. but not the nflu-
ence he had once exerted. either at home
or in Washington. His blunder in oppos-
ing the Panama canal, which the whole
commercial south favored. marked his
decline very distinctly. Then his health

Importance inasrnuch as the health of

Mr. Hearst was fully justified in not

San Francisco and Reform.

Perhaps the most gratifying result Of
yesterdays voting, from the point of
view of good government, was the tri-
umph Of the anti-graft party in San

appointed to succeed Schmitz when the
latter was Jailed for corruption. was
elected to succeed himself by majority
estimated at 900, ard the reform can

aroused the San Franciscans of the bet

that their city might slip back into it's
old ways of graft and crime, and the
votes cast yesterday indicate that that
element was fortunately in the majority.
Often after wave of reform which
sends evildoers to Jail and exposes rot

period OF intense activity on the part
of the honest citizens after which they

End of the Wire Strike.

Announcement in New York today O:
the c:ose Of the telegraphers strike cause
no surprise whatever, as that end has
been clearly foresuado for some weeks
The strike was a failure before it started
.I.a-nuch there was no substantial rea-
son for the withdrawal of the workers
from their keys at the outset Original
Ing IN a local disturbance in San Fran
cisco. ths dissatisfaction spread rapidly
OWING TO the facility with which the teleg-
raphers are able TO communicate with
one another. and 1t soon became apparent
that unless the officers Of the national
organization were sufficiently steady ana
strong To mold their followers in check
the latter would break out of restraint
and preCpitate crisis This is what
happened, and soon the country was
treated To the spectacle Of many hun
dreds Of men leaving work without being
able to state clearly the precise issues
of the conflict with their employers
From the beginning to the end of this
strike which has caused the public serious
Inconvenience and much loss, there has
been no satisfactory statement from the
strikers of the questions involved or the
specific demands imposed upon the com
panies by them. Yet a member Of the
executive committee announcing in New
York today the end of the strike, ex-
presses the appointment of the union
at the failure o: the public to support
the strikers. There was ~ chance for
public sympathy To be aroused. The
country at large will not take sides in a
fight that has It's origin in petty quarrels
and lacks clear incentive. and which
furthermore imposes a hardship upon It
without promise of any compensation
whatever.
