Without these protecting tariffs the giant
trusts could not have sprung into exist

evils of unjust rebates. Therefore ADJUST

There may be other issues wherein the
democracy could take stand. but person.
ally tariff revision Is the one to my mind
which Is paramount. the one which Will

with tariff revision"
Tariff reform was at one time a sore trial
for the New York democrats. They talked
about 1t glIbly enough. but when the pinch,
the responsibility, came they helped to make
the record which has been a reproach to
the party ever since.
At Chicago in 1892 Mr.. Whitney cared
not a rap about the platform. All he de-
sired the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland.
Let him name the candidate, and the con-
vention might do as it pleased about the
principles. He knew that with Mr.. Cleve-
land In the White House the financial policy
of the government would be guided by New
York sentiment. and that ended matters
with him. The free trade plank in the plat
form did not occupy his thoughts for a
moment.
At the same time Mr.. Whitney was pro-
tectionst. He stood with Mr.. German and
other democrats of that school, who were
much nearer to Cen Harrison the tariff
issue than tosMr. Cleveland. So that. the
silver Issue disposed Of. and disposed of to
Mr.. Whitneys liking. when the tariff issue
came up for treatment by Congress Mr..
Whitney threw his influence against any
radical treatment of 1t. He was the man
who smoothed the way for the alliance be-
tween Mr.. German and Edward Murphy.
jr., then a senator from New York by
which Mr.. Murphy became assistant to
Mr.. German in the recasting on protection
lines Of the Wilson tariff bill. Mr.. HILL the
other New York senator. was very much
Disguised with the arrangement, but was
poweriess to break it up.
Mr. Whitney is dead. but much of his in
1uence survives. and it will be exerted
against any effort to deliver the New York
democracy to the free-trade program. If.
therefore, tariff reform is . be the cry. it
will have to be stated in conservative terms
in order to bring New York into camp

breakers. causing much noise and doing
some damage. but infiicting no serious
injuries. The defamation of these COM
paratively harmless explosives gave rise
to the rumor that the anarchists, who
form considerable portion Of the pop

though the weakness Of the administra-
tive system. coupled closely as 1t is with
party politics Of the most rapacfous char
acter, was effectively demonstrated.
"A singular. commentary on the strike
trouble is afforded by the fact that Mayor
Mcclellan has from the outset refused to
regard 1t as a strike but has styled 1t a
case of characterization on the part of a
uniformed force of city employees, absent
from their duty without leave 1t might
be thought that such discrimination
would have enabled him to deal with
the situation vigorously by causing the
discharge of every insubordinate worker.
But instead of doing that he finally
agreed to take back the men and later
to consider their grievances as though
nothing untoward had occurred.

Score One for Hartman!

However undesirable E. H. Hartman
may be as a citizen in general principles in
the eyes of high authorities. 1t must be
admitted that his latest railroad action
is in the interest of better understanding
between the transportation companies and
the public and sets an admirable example
to all his associates in the railway world.
1t is announced that Mr.. Hartman has just
ordered that henceforth whenever an acci-
dent occurs one of the lines which he
controls full reports shall be promptly
made TO the press covering the details Of
the disaster, thus taking the travelling
public into the confidence of the corpora
ton. Furthermore, 1t has been decided as
an experiment to invite outsiders of local
standing and reputation to attend and par
ticipate in the hearing instituted by the
company to determine the cause of the &C
cident, with the privilege of making formal
reports IN agreement or disagreement with
the companys board.
One of the main causes of public discon-
tent with the railroad companies of this
country during recent years has been that
In case of accident policy of secrecy was
invariably maintained. The people have
contended that such matters were legiti-
mately of proper public interest. inasmuch
as the patrons of the roads were the main
sufferers from the negligence or inefti-
cheney or carelessness of the railroad OPP
eratives. The recent appalling succession
of fatalities has accented this belief that
the community at large should have a hand
in the investigation into causes. not merely
when the judicial processes are invoked.
but in the preliminary inquiries conducted
by the railroads.
The common experience of newspaper
men. upon applying for information regard
ing accidents. is to have railroad officials
assume an air of indifference or positively
deny plain facts. refusing all Information
or deliberately seeking to prevent the as
Certainment of the truth. This lit is none
of your business attitude has contributed
heavily to the public feeling of hostility to
the common carriers, and Mr.. Hartman is
wise in recognizing the fact and taking
steps to bring about a better feeling be-
tween the people and the roads. He is a
practical man" according TO his own an
ayss of himself. and doubtless realizes
the claim of the public to a part in the eff
forts to safeguard life while maintaining
effective schedules.

The Exodus Begins.

Greenville S Mcfarland. who has been
Chairman of the democratic executive COM
mittee of Massachusetts, has gone over 10
the Hearstites Well why not? Last year
the Bay state democracy supported John b.
Moran for governor. This year Henry Nj.
Whitney aspires to lead the party, and has
a considerable following. Evidently Mr..
Mcfarland is not protean artist. and finds
himself unable to make quick and radical
changes From Moran to Whitney Is too
much for him.
To say that Mr. Mcfarland has gone over
to the Hearstites is but to say that he has
Joined the Independence League. That Is
the haven of rest for all who see in the
Whitney Ryan Belmont brand of democracy
republicanism under another guise. They
were no longer comfortable In the old quar-
ters but hope for comfort in the new.
How many of these men are there? In
the case of Mr.. Mcfarland the change was
worth advertisement His prominence gave
to his act considerable Importance. But
there must be others in every state tread
ing the same course. The whole Hearst
propaganda Is to convince voters that the
democratic party is dead and that the only
hope of successful opposition to republican
ism Is In the new organization which Mr.
Hearst has founded and IS financing. come
one come ALL" is the Hearst cry to those
democrats who accepting Mr.. Bryan as
leader in 1896 have gotten farther and
farther away from the old definitions and
aspirations of democracy, until now not
even Mr.. Bryan satisfies them.
And yet Mr.. Bryan is trying to feel, and
to persuade the country, that's there Is no
menace to the democracy in the Hearst or
panization 1t is democracy, he thinks. I'M
der another name. He has compliments
for Mr.. Hearst, and greets him. whenever
they meet most cordially. Is he not mis-
taken? And what is his mistake likely to
cost him?

Col. Cocktails declares he has no thought
of retiring from the work at Panama. He
was not aware of his intention to do so
until his attention was called to II. This
merely shows that Col. Cocktails is a new
man in the field of rumor. After awhile
rumor will not disturb him. After his
resignation has been predicted a score Of
times and actually reported as many more,
he will yield himself uncomplainingly and
undenyingly to the gossips, and think only
of making the dirt fly. He cannot hope
to make the gossips fly. They are not
poor, but he will always have them with
him. The canal. we may all be sure, will
be dug. and without any great scandal
OF petty graft there may be some, but no
bold robbery on a large scale.
