z is just as sreat?"
 It is this intolerance in high places that is causing so much of drastic and unfair legislation. and SO many attempts to forestali or disregard the. courts of justice in various parts of the land. The people. even legislators. are too prone to follow the lead or advice of those whom they regard as leaders, and thus suffer themselves to become the unwilling tools or agents of men who have their own ends to serve. ''The Federal government and the state governments" Judge o'Brien says. can best serve the people by suspending the holy war which has now come to be regarded. whether rightly Or wrong ly. as involving the general stability of business interests until the courts
 have had an opportunity to pass npon the legal questions involved in legisla- tion already enacted and in prosecutions now pending"
 Certainly this New York jurist speaks words of truth and soberness. No high of1cial in the country, and no man who has held position of power and trust has shown more disposition to disregard constitutions and courts than President Roosevelt has done. Whether the fault is due to an over weening conception of his own great ness, or to a reckless determination to follow his own inclinations. or to want of proper mental balance. or whether all these have something to do with it, he is coming to be regarded, even by many who are anxious to think fav- orably of him, as an unsafe man to fol- 1ow--an unwise counsellor and a dan- gerous leader.
 It Is not to be wondered at if men of lesser note should think it good to ape Roosevelt and try to force on the country legislation designed to further their own ends. or that they should en- deavor to set aside the courts of law in order to carry into effect their own laws and their own conceptions of power. It would be well for the coun- try. the government and the people if. as the New York jurist argues. this holy war against corporations could be entirely suspended and allow all the questions involved to be passed on and settled by courts of competent Juris- diction. Courts may not always be in- failible. and may not always settle dis puted questions as we would prefer, but they are the last resort in cases of disagreement and controversy. This is country of law, and the courts are the end of the law. The courts must both construe and enforce the laws. and if any department of government. State or Federal. refuses to obey the decisions and mandates of our judicial tribunals ours would soon cease to be q government of law and order and would degenerate into anarchy and chaos. It will be well if calmness could prevail and moderation be ob- served until all matters in controversy have been adjudicated before the prop CT tribunals, and. as The Commercial tunity to learn just how much good and how much damage has been done before any more Federal and State powder is blown off"

and the only revolt was soms< handful. including the immortal PickleE from the far West. when 1t was not Reeds fight though he participated. as the last of the Bland silver bills was put to sleep by combination of Cleveland men. Tammany the mugwumps and some 90-odd per cent. of the Republicans. The Hon. Julius cae- sar Burrows was nightly disposed to faeii- itate the passage of the bill. but thought better of 1t.
 It is not much to say that Dalseii was the most valuable assistant Reed had when the House was in action. thouGh it is likely that Reed depended on DlnsIey more in council. Cannon. Grosvenor. and Hepburn were not members. all having been engulfed in the Democratic deluge of 1Ss0 when but two of the New England States-Maine and Vermont-remained in the Republican col umn. The Fifty-third Congress repealed the purchasing clause of the sherman silvsr law and then it was that the Republican party was humiliated as no other party has been in our history It's own lack of princi- pie and It's own moral poltroonery had occa- stoned the enactment of the Sherman law. and now cruel circumstance made it the abe Ject slave of Democratic President to force it to a confession of It's own infamy and a reversal of it's own -statesmanship And here again the immortal PickIer slip ped the halter and got away from Reeds leadership.
 After the Democratic party deposed cleve- land from the leadership. cashiered Carlisle. Turner. Mills, Villas. olney. Bayard. Lind say the Breckinridges William L. Wilson. and men of that ilk. and set uD in their stead the agrarian-socialist gang that drenehed it with all manner of profligate isms. unthinkable to any Democrat of Til- den's time, the Republican party went from victory to victory Paternalism was install- ed and the only thing the Democracy oppos- ed to 1t was more vicious and more ex- pensive paternalism. The inglorious war with Spain was fought. forced by yellow journals and the minority in Congress. We acquired the Philippines by Democratic votes in the Senate persuaded by the lead ers of the Democratic party.
 Then the Republican party. having no opposition to fight turned octopus chaser in Congress The answer to 1t Is government ownership and the absurd initiative and referendum. The magician waved his wand in Madison Square and the result was Republican majority in the sixtieth Con- gress. Now the wand Is again waved; but the issue will not down unless the man who made 1t effaces himself.
 Since Reed resigned the real leader of the Republican side of Congress has been John Dalzell. Not an orator. not showy man, not a popular man--he Is the ablest Repuo- 1ican in the House of Representatives. and its master in all but the titular rank that is lodged in Uncle Cannon The one way to displace him is for the Democratic party to make the tariff paramount and keep 1t paramount till victory comes on the wings of the wind

The Fifty-first Congress was Republican by a majority of about three.

that many .bf the shrewdest of them
are already recasting their programs
on account Of the attitude of the Ne
groes In yesterdays election. Every
body In Baltimore knew that the Ne.
Broes were angry over the treatment of
the coiored soldiers Of the Twenty-fifth
infantry, but few political leaders were
prepared to believe that the colored
vote would be swung from the Repub-
i.can to the Democratic party in con-

1nat this has occurred, however, is too
