YANKEE CONSUL FIRED
BY COCKY HONDURAS

WASHINGTON. Aug. IAN un-
pleasant situation has developed be-
tween the United States and Honduras
growing out OF the action OF President
Davilia In cancelling the papers OF
the foreign consuls at Ceiba, Hondur-
as. because OF their alleged friendli-
ness TO the revolutionists cause.
These officers include American
Consul Drew Linard and Vice Consul
Reynolds. and the vice-consuls OF
France and Norway. Reports which
have reached the state department
uphold the contention of the consuls
that they have not been guilty of
any breach OF propriety. that tAey did
not advise the surrender OF the town
when demanded by the revolutionists
as charged by Honduras. but simply
the demand TO the com
mandant The incident has caused
annoyance to this govern
ment. Mr. Bacon will take up the
matter next week.

WILLIE HEARST AND HIS NEW
PARTY.


There Is nothing new about Mr..
Hearsts new party except Its name,
tho National party, but as his political
corporations change their designation
every year or so no one need regard
this as Il radical departure. First, ana
1t was only three years ago. 1t was
the Municipal Ownership League
which he controlled. After a brief
but exciting existence, 1t was succeed
ed the following year by the In
pendcnce League, which lasted
through two campaigns, nnd now gives
place to the National party.
The new party is conservative
which seeing superlluous, considering
the number OF conservative parties
there are already In the field If any
one doubt the conservatism OF the
National party he has only to read
the party paragraphs of It's declaration
OF principles. which It's founder
modestly compares to the Declaration
of Independence, wherein IL set forth
that It's objects are "to conserve for
the citizens Of the United States the
rights and liberties won for them by
the founders of the government etc,
and that 1t Is therefore n "conscrya-
tive force The logic Is triumphant.
Anything that "conserves" Is conser-
yativc. In the face of this II will be
difficult to treat Mr.. Hearst us pol!
tical boyle man, even though his new
party favors government ownership.
Municipal and federal ownership are
pet ideas of Mr.. Hearst 1t differen-
tiatcs him from the other conserva-
iivcs For the rest the declarations
lack originality II reads like Il
cento of old populistic platforms. In
the days when the most striking fea-
lures of the picture of every office
holder in the Middle West were nan
ny goat whiskers. But though new po-
litical ralnment is exceedingly hard
to acquire II seems Il real weakness
that the national party does not in
troducc violent inoyations and start
ling now theories. What call Is there
for new party which stands for
nothing new?

QUESTION OF WAGES TO THE
FORE.

Within the past two weeks the
question of wages has como to the
front more strongly than nj any time
dnring tho trade depression This is
mainly due, of course, 10 the letter
which President Roosevelt sent to tho
Interstate Commerce Commission In
turn the commission announced tina.
there is not to DO n general reduc-
Stion OF wages among the railroads.
aud yet tho facts are beginning to
prove that perhaps after all the Pres
dent was right and the commission
wrong. The Southern Railway, MS an
nonnced In yesterdays papers, has
been compelled to appear TO the COM
mission to settle its differences with
the employees of that corporation.
Other roads have this week had con-
forences with their men I'm regard To
cuts IN the wage scale but thus for
no agreements have been reached anu
it's quite probable that the commission
Will find that the Erdman act has

IN the railroad world, rs In strictly
Industrial field. wage cuts are to be
accomplished principally by reduction
lin operations. though In great many
cases industrial organizations go
farther and suspend work altogether.
The situation is interesting in more
ways thnn one.
Tho position taken by employers
and employees OF large concern in
{ pittsburg is typical of the entire sit
nation. The management OF plant
in that city which had been idle since
the first OF the year was asked by
retail merchants and others Deepen
dent upon it's operations to resume
business. a conference was nrrang-
ed with representatives Of the en-
ployes. They were informed of trade
conditions, of the absence of orders
and OF the certainty that if the COM
pany should resume and thereby ac-
emulate stacks. the goods would have
5 to be sold at concession, which, on
the basis of present costs, would mean
greater loss than that entailed by
complete idleness. The men were in
formed, however, that IL they would
consent to work for wages represent
ing reduction ON the average of be-
tween ten and twenty per cent, the
$ Mill would be started and the men
guaranteed at least one months work
on full time. They declined to make
the concession and the mill remains
idle

but affairs do not so that way. Eth
sser there is o reduction in both prices
and wages or In one or the other.
Thus lar We have had principally re-
duction in wages--short hours il not

does not mean that the whole burden
