Gov. Hughes.

Those republicans in New York who de-
sire a statement from Gov. Hughes out
lining his attitude on national questions
within their rights and within reason.
His views are unknown, and there is
much curiosity on the subject. 1t is easy
to place any of the other republican aspi-
rants for the presidency, and there should
be no exception in the matter.
Gov. Hughes is sometimes lkened to
Gov. Tilden and to Gov. Cleveland But
there is difference.
When Gov. Tilden was proposed for the
presidency he was far from being a stran-
ger to national politics. On the contrary,
he was an eminent party leader and had
for years been a valued adviser of ,promi-
nent democrats in national office. He
loved the game, had the means to play
it. and was accounted expert. The
men who were urging him for the nomi-
nation knew where he stood, and could
speak definitely to those who did not
know. and were curious. In his letter of
acceptance Mr.. Tilden took precisely the
stand his friends and sponsors had prom
Used in his name.
In the case of NJ. Cleveland the only
question related to his strength at home.
~
long it was not curious as to any other
point 1t wanted to enjoy once more the
cheer and comfort Of Office and the cam
didate who could promise that was thu
man for the democracy. Daniel Manning
vouched for Mr.. Cleveland, and the party
accepted the latter as its leader 1t was
fortunate for Mr.. Cleveland that there
was no other test, for he neither had, nor
pretended to have, any well-detined opin-
ions on the great national issues of that
time. AS to the tariff. he said later, in an
interview, that he didn't know "a id
thing about it,
Gov Hughes is unlike Mr.. Tilden. in
that he is not politician, and nobody is
able to speak to politicians or to the peo-
pie for him. Except in the general term
that he is a republican. nobody can place
him on the national issues. His work in
New York on local issues is excellent. and
is well understood BY the country at large.
He is unlike Mr.. Cleveland, in that his
party being in power and responsible for
national policies is curious about how it's
leading members, and particularly it's
members considered as of presidential!
size, stand toward them. 1t wants a man
who can carry New York. but it wants
other assurances than that.
1t may be that We shall hear from Gov.
Hughes soon in response to this demand.
He has accepted several invitations to
speak and any of them could be improved
TO that end

The President and the Panic.

AT banquet in PittSburg, given to the
officials of the Carnegie Steel Company, a
former law partner of Senator Knox in
introducing President Corey said:
I'VE have had enough of financial diff
Guilty. enough of worry, and enough
Rooseveltism for some time
But President Corey, in his address,
said this:
1.-The stringency of the money market
which we have been experiencing for some
time cannot be laid at the door of any
one man or any group of men, 1t is here
with us and we must be content to do
for little time with less business and not
adopt an aggressive policy in trying to
make business.
The charge that the President by his
course and deliverances caused the panic
would il it could be supported be an ex-
tremely serious one. For his course will
not be changed. and when he speaks at all
on the subject it is in support of what he
has done. And fourteen months remain of
his administration. An early day. there
fore. could not be appointed for an i'm
provement in conditions.
The hope is in the counter proposition.
AS President Corey puts it, no man or
group of men caused the panic 1t came
partly from overtrading and partly from
rascally trading. Men lost their heads
and consciences in the whirl and tempta-
ton of unprecedentedly flush times, and,
with large means and larger credit, wreck
ed themselves and others. They operated
as though there could be no end to the
opportunity.
But of course they were mistaken. The
end was bound to come, and was closer
than they thought. And when it came
they were overwhelmed There was no
escape. The wages of their sin was ruin.
AS at all times. the innocent have suffered
with the guilty 1t never was, and cannot
be. ordered otherwise
In this view of the matter. which many
high financial authorities take, there is
assurance. The weak places stand ex-
posed, and the men who caused them
stand discredited. Those. in authority, and
those exercising power from the honesty
and conservatism of their past transac-
lions, have matters now in hand, and are
working together to redeem the situation.
There is every reason why they should
succeed. The country is not bankrupt
and boarding will be abandoned when
people are persuaded that the unworthy
have been driven from Behind the counters
they have used for exploiting shady and
shaky good things and kiting wildcat
paper.
We do not need a scapegoat. and IL we
did the President would not answer the
purpose. The responsibility Is easily fixed
when one examines matters apart from
political or personal prejudices.

The United States and Russia.

Representative Waldo's proposed reso-
tuition to Congress regarding the plight
of the Russian duma members under jul
= dicial ban is wisely couched in tentative
terms. 1t proposes that the expediency
of requesting the President to intercede
with the government of Russia in their
behalf be considered. 1t will be well to
\conduct such an inquiry deliberately BY
>bnly ah extreme stretch of the diplomatic
powers of this government could the
United States. through any agency, ven
ture ITO suggest to Russia that the pun
)ishm ent of the offending duma members
would be unfavorably regarded here. 1t
is so little of our business as govern
IJaent that the mere mention of the mat
Ter in the Congress is of doubtful expedi-
ency and good taste.
OF course in one sense it is natural
for the legislators of free country to
! sympathfze with those OF another country
who are suffering from restriction upon
their liberty of action and speech. But
a formal expression of sympathy takes
on an official aspect which necessarily
affects the relation of the two govern
ments.
If Congress should in moment of
emotional departure from the strict path
of legislation. direct or request the Presi-
dent to express its hope to the Russian
government in all likelihood the Presi-
dent would decline TO comply. We have
held our hands off from the subject of
the outrageous treatment of the Jews in
Russia. having been informed by Russia
, that it would not receive our protests,
although urged to express ourselves Off
cially by the strongest sentiments of hui
manity. Between the treatme1t of the
Viborg insurgent legislators and the per-
secution of the jews of southern Russia
there is no possible parallel In the one
case the government has been lenient to
u marked degree. In the other it has
been criminally negligent at the least. and
possibly murderously involved in the
slaughter of innocent people. Having re-
Trained from pressing our views upon the
st. Petersburg government in the Kishi-
neff affair. it would be folly to under
take to force upon it our sentiments re-
gardng the punishment of the recalci-
trant legislators.

Bad Law for Good Purpose.
From the New York Times.

bad law for a good purpose. That
is practically the judgment OF a majority
of the justices of the Supreme Court of
the United States as to the national law
fixing the liability of employers engaged
in interstate commerce. No one will dis
pute that the general purpose of the law
was good in the sense that it was hui
name, though there is room for difference
of opinion as to it's efficiency and ex-
pediency. There was also great difference
of opinion among the justices themselves
on the constitutionality of the law and
on the reasons why 1t was held by a
majority to be unconstitutional. Despite
this difference the actual decision of the
court is adverse, and the law dies a ju-
dicial death.
