Dick and Foraker,

Senator Dick now marked for destruction
because of his refusal to cooperate against
his colleague? Maybe not. Still the bare
suggestion shows how many foolish rumors
are flying as the result Of the Ohio con-
troversy, and how important 1t is that it
should be settled. Mr.. Bryan's rule or ruin
spirit has cost the democratic party many
valuable men. Democrats who differ with
him are warned to go where he thinks they
belong. In one sense 1t Is magnificent, but
In no sense Is 1t war. The policy has re-
duced the party to the proportions of a
razorback Do the republicans think that
they can adopt it with different result?
If they do they are greatly mistaken. What
chance there would be to carry Ohio with
Mr.. Foraker and Mr.. Dick kicked out Of
their places because Of the exercise Of their
own Judgment in matters admitting Of in
dividuaI opinion does not appear to the
naked eye.

bossism from Tammany Hall. That or
ganization Is so constructed that 1t needs a
boss In its business. 1t has always had q
boss, and number of the men who have
filled the place have been OF the grade Of
Mr. Murphy. Indeed. it may be doubted II
any other sort OF man could at this day fill
the bill. Tammany lives on pap. ana is the
mainstay of those seeking pap. No man in
New York knows that game better than
Mr.. Murphy. or in his own fortunes has
more to show for years Of playing 1t. He
takes care of himself and his friends, and
that in the Tammany society is all the law
and prophets-the first duty of man, and
the real science of politics. Why, then, as
Tammany must have a boss. should not

Since when did Mr.. Mcclellan become SO
particular on that score. and why? He
owed his place in politics originally to
Richard Croker. then the leader of Tam
many. and he owes his present Office to
Mr.. Murphy Is Mr.. Croker a better man
than Mr.. Murphy? Is Mr.. Murphy worse
man now than when he was engineering
the first and second campaigns of Mr.. Nc
Ciellan for mayor? Certainly not Mr..
Mcclellan has never dealt with high-class
man at the head of Tammany, and will
never have the chance to do so. A high
class man in that place would be out of
place.
No. Mr.. Murphy will stick. as he declares,
as long as he likes. and this time next year
Mr.. Mcclellan and all other democrats now
seeking the boss scalp will be marching in
his company, and proud of II, in support of
a program for a democratic national
victory.

Competitive Naval Construction.

Already the fruits of Germany's refusal to
consider the subject of disarmament or
limitation are apparent. This refusal was
generally regarded as a notification to the
other powers of Europe, notably England,
that the kaiser intended to go ahead with
a military and naval program which would
eventually land the empire In the front
rank of all nations in point of war force
The rather labored explanations given in
Berlin. to the effect that nobody had come
forward with a practicable formula, were
not accepted at face value. England, at all
events. has rated them as evasive and has
given her answer in terms which cannot
be mistaken. The general understanding
abroad was that in case the Limitation pro-
posal took shape to promise definite results
at least in the way of practicable discus
sion in good faith, England would lay down
only one new battleship OF the Dreadnaught
class. 1t Is now announced, however that
Immediately upon the launching of two
large ships now building at the. Portsmouth
and Devonport dockyards the keels of two
new 'Dreadnaughts'' will be laid and work
on them will be vigorously pressed
Here is tangible evidence of the costli-
ness of the present competitive process in
the matter OF naval ornaments England 3
desire is to remain at the top of the naval
list. The English peopfe-are in no mood to
relinquish that position. held for SO many
years. 1t is altogether likely that however
rapidly Germany might advance In a work
that must be conducted openly, England
would press as rapidly or even faster 1t
Is at this time virtually beyond the range
OF possibility that any Of the great sea
powers can secure a change Of relative
naval rank, unless war occurs, with its
attendant losses and emergency creations
under great pressure.
The grave question confronting the civil
lied powers Is whether this endless process
can be checked. At the present Germany
Is blocking the way. There is no method
whereby the Berlin government can be per-
suaded. The only hope Is that the burden
OF taxation imposed by an extensive naval
construction policy in competition with Eng
land will eventually become so heavy that
the German people will themselves call a
halt.

Ruef Has Weakened.

Abraham Ruef confronted with the
goods" has weakened He declares he Will
do everything in his power to set things
right. Having parted with his good name,
he would have 1t again. He hopes to re-
cover il by assisting the state to establish
its charges against others with whom he
co-operated in the San Francisco bookings.
The cant In this confession is easily de-
tected. Such men brought to bay usually
have a spasm of this kind. They profess
deep contrition, and a desire to undo In an
hour the rasealities OF years. Their first
thought is of themselves, not of the state,
AMI they tell no more than is necessary to
serve their own purposes in their hour OF
need. Nobody knows better than Ruef that
his good name is beyond recovery. He Is
what lie has made himself, and his only
value to the public now Is in laying his
past entirely bare. But that is the last
thing he thinks of doing. Saving his own
hide now that his reputation is gone is his
one ruling consideration. 1t will be neces-
sary to guard against both his concealments
and his inventions. and to provide for cor
roboration with respect TO all that he may
tell.
1t Is going to be more interesting for
the capitalists who have done business
officials with whom he has co-operated.
He confesses to a machine. and that its
actions were corrupt. He built and manp-
ulated II. He picked and used his assist
ants. and they must have known. in part
at least. his purposes and the real nature
of their own performances. Skulduggery
at the expense of the public was afoot,
and they were helping it along with their
eyes and pockets open. Peaching on such
pals will awaken no sympathy for the
pals anywhere.
There may be matter for consideration,
however In the transactions which took
place between these highwaymen under
Ruers command and the men who under
orders stood and delivered. Capitalists
with big business schemes who traded with
these official mercenaries may ask for SYM
patty on the score that they had to choose
between buying their way along, or aban-
doning their projects. Here were the road
agents demanding tribute. What were
they to do? What was the everyday bust
ness view of the situation?
Men in many localities have been SINH
larry placed. and many have acted as it
Is alleged some have acted in San Fran
cisco. But specious arguments do not be-
cloud the broad question of an honest
public policy. The man who for any pur-
pose corrupts a public official commits a
crime against the state. and his place is in
the dock beside the official he has cor
rupted. II is not permitted him to plead
the case of the traveller and the road
agents. for the analogy is far from being

The Gun Habit.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In view of the increasing frequency OF
crime and suicide by the use of the pocket
pistol it will hardly be disputed that the
time has come when the sale of firearms
should be placed under an effective legal
supervision. There is law In this state
which forbids the carrying of concealed
deadly weapons under penalty Of fine of
$500 or years imprisonment. or both, but
this does not cover the requirements Of the
situation. 1t Is practically made dead
letter by the difficulty of its enforcement.
There are unquestionabiy many men who
habitually carry a revolver In their clothes.
but how often Is prosecution for this
cause reported? The chances are that the
reader will be unable to recall a single in
stance. Some conscientious persons apply
for and obtain permit to carry pistol.
but they are the exception. The average
man who for any reason feels impelled to
go armed doesn't stop to bother about the
law, and the fact that he Is lawbreaker
Is not disclosed until some violence has
been committed

certain one. and knows just what chances
he Is taking. But the wretch who spreads
poison about or puts explosives in the way
Of innocent people is aiming at random and
Is more evil In intent.
There Is no way to surely detect and
punish such people. They place their HARM
full devices and sneak away and walt for
results. Their wickedness ought to deter
all practical jokers, however. by the force
of horrible example from attempting even
harmless tricks that bring pain and hui
initiation to their victims. Humor that
takes the form Of inficting suffering Of

The Ferment in India.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

Great Britain is much more likely to have
trouble with India than with the true col
onies such as Canada and Australia, whose
people are mostly of British origin. India
swarms with native population made up
Of different races and ethnic varieties, of
different customs and religious beliefs,
which do not agree among themselves as
to anything except dislike of the English
and Of English domination If they should
be left to themselves it Is highly probable
that they would not be able to live at
peace with one another. and that outside
domination from some quarter would be
necessary to keep them from almost con-
tinual conflict.

boys are now rapidly vanishing IN

mains the observations before
our state will be placed on the list
of self governing states, and the
Indian will be Il citizen instead of
Il ''ward.' The voting American

opening of the Cheyenne River
Reserve yet. But under the rule
of an Indifferent and unpro@rcsS-
i've regime. it would have been
better to have opened it. But
with the wise and efficient pace
now set. the Indians will undoubt-

then their addition to the vote of
