Punish the Higher-Ups.

Rudolph Spreckels, one of the leaders in
the fight against the San Francisco hood
lers. says in an interview:
The work of investigation will not be
suspended until every bit OF rottenness has
been fully exposed. We fully expect to land
behind the bars of the penitentisry every
giver of brides. and the higher up the Of
fender the more vigorously will be his pur-
suit.
we do not however, expect to send
every bribe-taker to prison. Some of the
miserable men who sold themselves to the
corporations must be granted immunity for
their testimony. which is worth a great
deal more to us as evidence as to the
guilt OF high corporation officials than their
own Incarceration would be-"
In this spirit the most valuable results
should be accomplished. AS rule, in
cases OF this kind, the whole movement Is

Ultimate Ownership.
From the New York Word.

From the New York World.
The World can understand how a poll
tician might favor the immediate overturn
Of historical policies and the immediate SUBJ
stitution of new order of things, but 'ulti-
mate" policies are rather too vague and in
definite for practical age. Uncle Joe Can
non and his kind cautiously discuss an ulti-
mate revision of the Dingley schedules. Mr..
Bryan calls them stand-patters and says
they are not in favor of tariff revision at
all. When the republicans discussed ulti-
mate self-government for the Filipinos Mr..
Bryan jeered and insisted that this meant
no self-government at all. What we should
like to know is just where Mr.. Bryan now
finds himself on this issue of government
railroads. When is ultimately? Does
Mr.. Bryan intend to go before the demo-
cratic national convention in 1908 and de-
mand a plank committing the party to
federal ownership and operation of trunk
line railways?

Garrison and Cleveland.

Speaking at a public meeting in Boston
the other day, William Lloyd Garrison
said:
What disturbs me more than the atti-
tude of the southerners who are making
capital out of race hatred are the conces-
sions of northern friends OF the colored
people who have been truly helpful In the
encouragement Of southern schools Be
cause prejudice is deep rooted and is again
demonstrating its strength in the north 1t
is all the more urgent that no countenance
be given to this hateful spirit. Not even
southern lynchings are so disheartenlng
to the friends of equal rights as the &C
quiescence of such men as ex-Pres!dent
Cleveland. President Eliot of Harvard and
Bishop Lawrence Of Massachusetts (all de-
sirous of uplifting the colored race). in the
notification of the fifteenth amendment"
Here is that most amusing of all spec
tacles. the engineer hoist with his own
petard. Why should Mr.. Garrison lecture
these distinguished men on this subject?
Is he not as cupable as they are? Has
he not shared as they have in the nullif-
cation of the fifteenth amendment? I'm
doubtedly. He was Cleveland man in
the three races Mr.. Cleveland made for
the presidency and on both occasions when
Mr. Cleveland succeeded his success was
based on the notification of the fifteenth
amendment Did Mr.. Garrison complain
then? He did not peep" but accepted
smilingly and thankfully, as his chief did,
the fruits of the victory thus obtained
1t will not do to say that Mr.. Garrison
did not know what was going on. 1t was
his place to know, and if he did not, he
was far too dense for a man Of his name.
Everybody else knew. Nothing was done
in a corner, either in 1884 or in 1892 Mr..
Cleveland owed his election in both years
to his southern support, and that came
from the notification of the Constitution.
The southern men acted with the utmost
frankness, and offered no apologies. Nor
did Mr.. Cleveland ask any. And how did
it come about that Mr.. Garrison also was
silent at those times?
Mr.. Cleveland's present position is In line
with his position of many years. Why
should he blossom out now as a champion
of the fifteenth amendment, and of con-
stitutional representation in Congress, when
he has twice profited by notification and its
logical fruits? How could he do so with
out rebuking himself. and confessing to
something like a flaw in his title to office?
Both a sort of logic and a sort of gratitude
hold him to his present course.
Mr. Garrison, it seems, has become dis
turbed. But why? How does he make his
present complaint consist with MS acQueS-
cence In performances years ago which
carried their own meaning on their face ?
Where was his devotion to the Constitution
then? Or was he. after the fashion OF man
kind, so wrapped up in his candidate that
he wanted him elected at all hazards, and
was not disposed to examine too closely
into the votes that came to him? Probably
that explains it. But, nevertheless, the
awakening of Mr.. Garrisons conscience is
both late and awkward-and diverting.

WEATHER WAS HoRRID.

Holyoke. Aug. 22.-The weather had nothing on yesterday afternoon $ game between Holyoke and New Lon- don, for as disagreeable as the at- mospheric conditions were, the nine- inning show worked off by the lead CTS and tailenders was positively hor- rid. The weather seemed to affect not only the playing but to ruff1e a few tempers and bring situations that threatened to terminate in pugilistic combat. Even the umpire was a vic tim of the weather plague as 1t ap- parently warped his judgment in several places. When all was said and done the score board told the tale very plainly. The score:
