HUGHES AND REFORM.

Mr.. Hughes, we are told, was elected
Governor of New York because
he stood for morality against i'm
morality, because he stood for break
ing up horse racing IL that State. Well
horse racing is wrong in so far as bet
ting is concerned. For no other reason
can we see why horse may not be
made to run, or trot, as well as haul
heavy burdens. But to our mind this
cry about horse racing in New York
has been case, and very pronounced
ease of straining at gnat and swal-
low ing q camel. It is about the least
svil in that State. Why does not Gov.
Hughes try his hand on other crimes,
which stand out more fagrantly than
horse racing? There are many of them.
More money turns on gambling tables
right under Gov Hughes nose in New
York city in one week than on all the
r ace tracks in the State in one year.
West OF Broadway in his city of New
Y Ork are blazing lights along about
18th or 18th streets, which beckon the
wayward to licensed drinking ''par-
lera," which on every night, save Sun
day, ia each two or three hundred wo-
men may be found. These come there
un attended, they cit and drink until
30 me victim falls into their hands.
Th csc victims they lure to other dens,
there to be robbed and possibly muir
dsred. We do not think we exaggerate
when we say thousand such women
In fest these dens every night in the
week save Sunday night, when they
ply their avocation elsewhere. If there
il one gambling den in New York there
are ten thousand. Not wide open
places like Canfleld's was, but places
we'll known to the police and those
governing the city. AS for bagnios
and other dens of vice Gov. Hughes
eeald hardly count them in day with
the aid of machine. But when he
goes after vice why rush out and make
lot of noise about race tracks which
do not do business the year round, and
leave the Stock Exchange untouched,
In deed pass it by as if it were the holy
Of the holes, too sacred to be mention
ed !? There is the place to reform things,
ii he 10 real reformer and not DEM
agogue. There more men are robbed,
more homes made desolate, more peo-
pie led astray, more misery Inflicted,
than on all the race tracks from Cana
da to Mexico. II reform is what he
seeks and not cheap notoriety, let him
go to the biggest den of all, drag out
the Williams, put shackels first, and
then stripes on them, close their den
and II needs be rase it to the ground.
Then he may be called a reformer.
Until he does something real hewill be
looked on as cheap politician.

A SWEET THOUGHT.

Ii has become the stock in trade OF
Republican, journals to repeat with
parrot like unanimity the well worn
phrase, "a few more years of Organism
and the Democratic party will be no
more" This will come about, they
say, because Mr.. Bryan has such wild
ideas that people become afraid of him,
and run at the mere mention OF his
name. This is maintained stoutly
Notwithstanding Mr.. Bryan got ], 400,
600 votes that went to Roosevelt four
years ago, and notwithstanding the
admitted fact.that no other Democrat
could have gotten half so many.
1t does seem queer that set of peo-
pie who claim everything as coming
from the Republican party instead OF
the Lord, should argue thus. Why do
they not claim that the reason the peo-
pie flee SO rapidly from Mr.. Bryan is
not because he has scared them away,
but because the glories of Republican,
ism are so enchanting they cannot be
resisted and the whole world is drawn
By its sweet influences. Would the lie
be too big for them, or did the thought
n ever occur to them? If never before
let as suggest this thought to those We
raoious journals, let them tell the
truth once and give the real reason
why Tammany dropped Bryan and
went to Taft, why the Baltimore Sun
did the same thing. Let them tell the
world that the $1,000 900 Taft took to
Rome had nothing to do with it. They
just love the Republican party because
they can't help it, there is SO much in
it to admire, so much to draw them
and hold them. 1t is a sweet idea,
try it.

CARNEGIE AND GORMAN.

Mr.. Carnegie in the Century Maya
zine for December, publishes an arti-
Gle on the Tariff. He not only stirs
plutocratic wealth from stem to stern,
but he tells some awful tales out OF
school. For years Mr.. Gorman's
friends have been defending him from
the charge of 'party perfdy" made by
Mr.. Cleveland when the Wilson bill
passed. Now Mr.. Carnegie has fixed
that "perfdy" on Germans record
never to be washed off. He says in
part:
ssTo two Democrats belong the chief
credit of defeating the revolutionary
features of the Wilson bill-Senator
German, Democratic leader of the Sen
ate, and Governor Flower of New
York, an influential leader in the
House." Then he relates at length
the story. How could the Democratic
party succeed with such leaders, and
ought it to have succee ed with such
The question carries its own answer.

SHERIDAN HoNoRED.

On Wednesday of last week an eques-
trian statue of Gen. PhilipH. Sheridan
was unveiled in Washington. The
statue was erected by the government
out of money appropriated by Con-
gress. Anybody can have a statue who
has friends in Congress sufficient to
pass bill to that effect. These statues
we see about Washington are political
in part, and partly matter of graft
Somebody introduces bill in Con-
gress to appropriate money to build a
statue to somebody who has 'sserved
his country" The thing passes be-
cause nobody will take upon himself
the burden of opposing it. The peo-
ple's money should not be spent this
way everybody knows, but who is
there to say SO? Not one. Through
goes the bill. A nice job is arranged
for some fellows with pull. A plat

GREEDY, Selfish CARNEGIE.


Eugene Zimmerman, father-in-law
of the Duke of Manchester and former
ly principal owner o. the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton Railroad in a
recent interview said:
''Of all the self-satisfied, greedy bill
lionaires made possible by the glorious
protection doctrine, Andrew Carnegie
stands alone in the matter of selfish
ness.
"The protection plan is not intended
by the American public for the benefit
of one or two men, but for the help and
| advantage of all in this land. Here
| comes the Laird of Skibo, after he has
gotten all his wants satisfied, and says
| remove the duty on steel and oil.
"After accommodating the pile that
Carnegie has through protection he
would have the system abolished, so
that other men would not have an equal
opportunity. ! say that man is indeed
selfish
The above is possibly as strong an
argument in favor of a reduction of the
tariff as could befound though intend
ed as a high tariff argument. "After
accumulating the pile that Carnegie
has through protection" says Mr.. Zim-
norman 'she would have the system
abolished. SO that other men would not
have an equal opportunity Here in
nutshell is what the public has said
the tariff does. Here is one millionaire
falling out with another millionaire
over the spoils. Gas well may one thief
Mr.. Zimmerman might have said ode
stroy opportunities for further rob-
berry," as to say what he did say. 1t
is the opportunity offered by protection
to make billionaires that has rendered
protection odious. The public knows
that their money is made on the profits
of their business augmented by tariff
laws in their favor, that it comes
through no channel but through their
sales. The public is the buyer, and the
buyer pays the price that protection
permits, as the profit, that is the diff
ference between the price of manufac-
ture and the selling price Is what goes
into the pocket of the manufacturer
and from which he piles up his mil
lions. The people have cried for a
change, they have begged some sur
cease of this burden.
They will not get it. The trusts and
combines are in the saddle and they
are not going to kill the goose that lays
the golden egg. But MI. Zimmerman
tells them they ought to have relief,
though he did not tell them so inten-
tiOnally.

BEHIND THE TIMES.

Attorney R. E. Dunlap, who return
ed last night from Greenbrier county,
says that the st. Lawrence Boom and
Manufacturing Company is making
preparations to shut down its large
lumber plant at Ronceverte. The rea-
son assigned is that the company has
cut over practically all of its timber
land in Greenbrier and Pocahontas.
One of the mills will be moved to Poca-
hontas, where there is still some tim

be entirely closed down within period

VA. RATE CASE.

The Virginia rate case, known as the
2 cent rate, was decided by the Su-
preme Court of the United States ON
Monday last. Both sides seem to have
gained it or lost it, nobody can exact
ly tell which. Mr.. A. G. Braxton was
of counsel for the State and is very jul
bilant over the decision. So he seems
to have won. We have not been able
to get the real points decided, but may
publish them when we ascertain their
real purport.
