UP. HEARST AND FUSION.

Do the instructions of Mr.. Hearst's state con-
vention for independent nominations for Pfesl-
dent and Vice-President and Mr.. Hearsts own
declaration that fusion is sham mean that his
national convention Will put ticket or Its own
in the field? Evidently we shall know only when
that national convention is over. Mr. Hearst Is
against fusion to be sure: but then, as lie ex-
planned in his speech, be has always been against
fusion and we know from the fact that he has
only once succeeded in putting an independent
ticket in nomination that his personal preference
is often overborne by the wishes Of his delegates
And so, of course he may again have to yleid
against his bette judgment at Chicago
II is an interesting confession which Mr.
Hearst makes that he has been "sullen and
reluctant convert to fusion In times past. Ii
seems that 1906 was no exception to this rule
and that the combination between his lndepen-
dence League and the Democratic party, making
him their candidate for Governor, was so objec-
tionable to him that he only preserved his self
respect" by his mental reservation against such
a deal or by his protests against it in the secret
coursels of his league. The public knew nothing
of Mir. HearSts heroic attitude or of his sacrl-
fee of himself to what the masses of his party
mistakenly thought its best interests and there
fore judging only by e1ternals, thought no one
escaped with his self respect from that famous
deal. The superficial circumstances certainly
seemed to Indicate Indj MI l1tdiSL dtu hioie
than sanction the fusion.
In 1903 his papers had been making bitter
personal attacks the Tammany leaders, say
ing that they ought to be in jail and picturing
Mr. Murphy himself in prison stripes When
Mr. Hearst conceived his ambition TO be Gov
ernor all these attacks stopped. For months
prior TO the convention abuse Of Mr.. Murphy
was published and not prison stripe cartoon
was printed. The public generally took this
cessation IF hostities paving the way for
fusion and when the fusion was consulnmated
il regarded the result as eminently pleasing TO
Mr. Hearst. But now it seems that the whole
train of circumstances which looked like the de-
Hberate seeking Of alliance were mere coinci-
dences. and that Mr.. Hearst was all the. while
against fusion and only yielded TO the pressure
of the voters IN his incorporated party. This
throws light Oh Mr.. Hearst. who has had
good many lights thrown upon him recently
II also throws new light on his incorporated
party It had been supposed all along that the
party merely registered Mr.. Hearsts personal
will It appears now that MIR. Hearst merely
reflects his partys will So. of course, Mr.
Hearst's ingrained aversion 10 fusion may be
overrued again at Chicago. Which Is very con
fusing.

cruelly deceived themselves when they counted
on him as thoroughgoing tariff revolutionist
Mr.. watterson's knowledge Of the Presidents
faintheartedness led him to propose and force
through the Democratic National C0nvention III
1892 radical free trade declaration which Mr..
Cleveland's friends opposed, but could not de-
feat Then in his letter of acceptance Mr.. Clefe-
land bIuntly repudiated the conventions action
He allowed the Democratic National Committee
to promise the Louisiana Senators protective
duty on sugar. When the Wilson bill was intro
duced and passed in the House of Representa-
tives the administration was credited WITH ap-
proving ii, although it was palpably crude ana
destructive piece of legislation. The Efforts oI
the Senate to amend Mr.. Wilson's handiWork
also had the administrations approval Yet
when popular clamor was aroused against the
Senate reyisers Mr. Cleveland repudiated the
German draft and refused to sign 1t after the
House had reluctantly accepted 1t, because II
involved ''perfdy and dishonOr AS a matter
of fact. the German draft was an Immensely
better piece of legislation than the Wilson drart
and probably accorded better with Mr.. CleVe-
lands own views But the President had SO
involved himself with commlttals 10 both SIDES
that he feared to decide between them anu
sought to satisfy one by denouncing the law, ana
the other by allowing it to become law with
out his signature.
Mr. Cleveland is entitled to recognition 1of
many public services. But his record as tarlfr
reformer is not one which can command admira-
ton for It's consistency or breadth of judgment

THE ANTIINJUNCTION BILLS.

The Payne anf-injunction bill, which, accord
Ing to the general understanding. Is on the pro
gramme of the House leaders FOR passage -
said in Washington dispatch TO Inc lriouue
to be advocated by many because OF lts Sill
pIicitv and its brevity" 1t is certainly entitled
to commentator on both these grounds, ana
probably also on the ground of reasonable mod

Section / That hereafter preliminary IN

sought to be enjoined or restrained, unless IL
shall appear to the satisfaction or the court OF
Judge to whom application for such ln1unctloh
or restraining order is made that the immediate
issue of such injunction or restraining order IS
necessary to prevent irreparable damage
Section 2 That any such injunction OF re-
straining order granted shall contain a rule on
the opposite party to show cause within nVe
days why such injunction or restraining oioef
shall not be continued.
The proposed measure thus leaves with the
court discretion to act promptly whenever in its
opinion such action is necessary to prevent II
reparable damage. How much this would re-
strict the use of the writ would depend upon
the courts construction Of the words ''irrepara-
BILE damage; but in any case. however broadly
they were construed the passage of the Dill
would tend TO restrain the Overready granting
of njunctions. and that is about all that should
be done TO restrict the employment OF that val
liable instrument for the protection of property
Needless to say, the Payne bill does not satisfy
Mr. Gompers. He wants the Pearre bill, Wh1ch
would restrict the use Of the writ only in LABOR
cases. 1t fOrbidS the issue of an injunction IN
such cases except where necessary "to prevent
"irreparable injury to property to a property
right" and then goes on to say that among
property rights shall not be included the right
to carry on business. Thus an injunction could
not be used to prevent boycotts. Like all the
legislation which Mr. Gompers favors, this anti
Injunction bill would create a favored class
The injunction would be used under 1t exactly
as it is now employed except in labor disputes,
and there 1t could practically not be employed
at all The Payne bill is not class bill, ex-
eInpts no one from the operations of the injunc-
ton and would probably serve to check such
abuses as may have grown up iii the application

STEAMSHIPS TO HUDSON Ray

In its policy toward the Northwest territories
the Canadian government cannot be said to be
III full motion; It is only stirring. But the
stirring is gradually waxing livelier and gain
Ing strength. Only few weeks ago the Cana
dian Parliament unanimously passed a reso-
luton calling for the immediate construction
of a railroad connecting the Canadian Pacific
system with Fort Churchill. on Hudson Bay.
And now dispatch from Ottawa states that
the government has resolved to undertake this
work, and In order TO make II count will also
establish a steamship service between that re-
mote northern port and Europe. IL this plan
old dream Of enthusiastic Canadians is now
about to be realized, the new era upon which
our hyperbOrean neighbor is entering may be
hurried to its prime.
There has been endless talk and almost as
much pooh-poohing over the Fort Churchill
Liverpool steamship line. Until recently the
scheme was generally pronounced visionary.

MISTAKEN HISTORY.

Our former nelghbor. THE Times is disposed
to dispute some statements recently made by
Colonel Henry Watterson rejecting on ex- -Presi-
dent Cleveiand's record as a tariff reformer.'
Colonel Watterson ought to be an excellent au-
thority the inside history of the Democratic
tariff revision crusade, which began with Mr..
Cleveland's message in 1885 and ended with the
passage of the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill in
1894 No one was more in the thick of the free
trade agitation than the editor of The Louis
vile CourierJournal and had better
opportunity 10 know who was who in cOntribut-
ing 10 ITS melancholy failure. We are rather
surprised that The Tines invites a contro-
versy with him point on which he has so
ample store Of intimate and confidential III
formation.
Mr. Watterson wrote the other day In The
Courier-Journar'
Throughout the long battle for tariff for
revenue only there continually appeared, always
e: The opportune moment In Democratic
ellis. d mysterious presence in obstruction Now
IL Randall: now it Barnurn: ii
Whitney, and, finally, il Cleveland, throw

TO triumphant conclusion
The Times processes TO be surprised at the
Inclusion Of Mr.. Cleveland among those who
frustrated tariff reform of the Mills Morrison
Wstterson variety, and says that Mr. Waiter
son must have written in Mr.. C1eveland's name
by inadvertencc- Yet nothing becomes clearer,
if Mr.. Cleveland's connection with the tariff
form agitation is carefully studied, than that
he did not understand the feelings and purposes
Of the Southern and Western free traders and
never cooperated in their radical spirit in efforts
TO sweep away what the South and West consid
cred an obnoxious barrier raised TO make them
patronize the manufacturing industries OF the
North and East. Most Southern leaders OF Mr.
Cleveland's day were brought up in the idea that
the United States should have been allowed TO
develop agricultural country pure and
simple, exchanging the products Of the soil for
European luTurIes and manufactures That
