There Is much speculation in railroad
circles as to Mr.. VanderbIlt's visits to the

through Omaha in his private Pullman to
Cheyenne, where he spent Christmas day
and then FASTENED back to New York.
While in Omaha he refused to make known
his errand to the public.
There is talk, however. that the scion

More Metropolitan Mystery.

Watch my bundles for a minute or
two" says a strange man to a small boy
in New York, "and I'll give you a nickel
when I return. The boy agrees and
faithfully guards the two large oilcloth-
wrapped bundles for a time. Then along
comes another man leading a terrier on
a leash. The dog sniffs at the packages
and whines so persistently that suspicious
are aroused. policeman is summoned
and the bundles are sent off in a patrol
wagon to the station house, where they
are opened They contain the dismem-
bered parts of a mans body, minus the
head Stab wounds indicate that death
was caused by violence. New York has
another delectable. murder mystery. and
the horror OF IL Is accentuated by the
fact that BLACK Hand Inscription in
red chalk on the outside of one OF the
wrappers suggests that the baleful band
of blackmailers has been at work again.
OF course everybody Immediately recalls
the Gudensuppe case OF twelve years ago.
The torso was found floating in the river
wrapped in an oicloth and the legs were
found near a dock IN Brooklyn. The head
was not discovered. Identification was
effected by means of a crooked finger,
remembered by the dead mans associates
in the Turkish bathhouse where he had
been employed The man and woman
who killed and dismembered him were
quickly found. the former being ultimately
executed and the latter imprisoned until
two years ago. when she was released.
She is now keeping a small shop in New
York.
There have been other mysteries of
murder and dismemberment since the
Guldensuppe crime. but none which ap-
pealed as strongly to the metropolitan
imasination. An Armenian priest was
killed and cut into pieces and packed into
a trunk a few years ago and the murder
ers were never caught An Italian was

1t is to be hoped that no amendment
to the police regulations will be written
in terms to permit the fouling of the
streets by wagons and carts used In site
excavation and building operations. A
few years ago this question was thra shed
out thoroughly in the course of hearings
before the Commissioners. Citizens resid-
ing along streets followed by dirt and
material wagons voiced their complaints
TO prove that a grave nuisance resulted
from the failure of the contractors to
clean the cart wheels and keep the bot
toms of wagons in good condition The
streets were kept continually covered with
mud or DUST according to the state OF
the weather The Commissioners ordered
that the contractors station men along the
routes of their vehicles to clean the
wheels of carts on emergence from exca-
yations and to remove the droppings
This system worked fairly well and was
regarded as an effective compromise be-
tween no regulation whatever and the
rigid enforcement of the rules against
street fouling. OF course. dirt cart

some measure scattering mud along the
streets. but the necessity for building

is precisely what has been proposed from
time to time in the past, that tne
neople in the different sections OF the
District should pool their resources and

The great object in the sane Fourth
nroposition is TO prevent the indiscrim-
mate individual indulgence In explosives
which has in the past caused so much
property destruction and cost so many
lives. The rescue of the day from Its
barbarous practices Is OF secondary I'M
portance compared with the prevention
of damage and death Incidentally, OF
course IL is desirable to redeem the oc-
cason and render 1t one OF true pa
triotic inspiration, and it Is believed that
this can best be done by appealing to the
community spirit.

Commission Government.

Commission government has amply JUS
tilted It's adoption in Leavenworth. In
Wichita, In Des Moines and In every
northern city where 1t has been tried. II
has practically won the cities Of the south
because of It's wonderful popularity In
Galveston, Houston and in every city
where 1t has been adopted. In every place
where the people have voted to place their
municipalities under commission govern,
nent they have been more than pleased
with the results. Kansas City, kans..
therefore. has splendid opportunity to
study the character of the opponents OF
the proposition to adopt commission gov
ernment In that city. For the plan mas

transportation of the body. The criminals
in this instance were found and punished.
In city like New York crime often as
sumes strange. abnormal aspects, and
thus it is not remarkable that almost at
periodic intervals there is a sensation
such as that just developed
1t is regarded as significant that the
neigh borhood~ where the bundles were
found is that in which successfully motor
ious gangs of thieves and thugs have held
sway. The region round about Chatham
Square, or the lower East Side" is in
famous for its criminal population. From
time to time groups Of lawbreakers have
been organized in that region, under
such names as the "Yakey Yakes. the
'Humpty Jacksons' and the Monk East
mans" The latest of these gangs to
flourish was that led by Kid Twist,
who was murdered a year ago at Coney
Island without doubt in obedience to
command from some mysterious quarter.
1t has been the unwritten law of the
gang that a traitor to the fraternity, or
too aspiring member seeking leadership,
should suffer death. To the public these
occasional murders have appeared to be
ordinary crimes of jealousy or passion or
intemperance. but. in truth, they are the
execution Of commands. The under
world moves in accordance to rules and
mandates which are entirely beyond the
ken of the peaceful, law-abiding citizens,
who are from time to time shocked and
puzzled by the deeds Of violence reported
to them.
1t is the present theory of the New
York police that this latest mystery is
another case of gang execution, and that

memberment crime is another proof of

Bryan and the Senate.

The report that MIR. Bryan will try

therefore, two questions: Has ne aoan-

nras,dential ambition? Or is he prepar-

IT is due to Mr.. Bryan to say that
the latter proposition is the hKeher.

Taft and Cleveland.

Some political observers liken Judge
Taft's embarrassments to those of Mr..
Cleveland during the early part of the
latters second administration. Let US
see
When Mr.. Cleveland took office In
March,, 1898. two important problems con-
fronted him-the financial problem and
the tariff His friends were divided
about what should be done. One faction
insisted that the money question. and
the other that the tariff, should be put
first. Both factions thought an early
session of Congress necessary.
Mr.. Cleveland hesitated. But before
long the situation throughout the coun-
try demanded a decision. Congress was
called together In extra session, and the
money question submitted first A tre-
mendous party row followed. and al
though Mr.. Cleveland carried his point,
his party in Congress emerged from the
conflict in broken and demoralized con-
dition. Later, at the regular session.
came the tariff question, but in that con-
f1ict Mr.. Cleveland lost
1t would be risky to say that had Mr.
Cleveland put the tariff question first he
would have played better politics. The
truth is that his party was no more
united on the one question than on the
other. and that whenever either was nre-
sented to Congress a division was in
eVtaoie Success at the polls had been
secured by combination which carried
In it's bosom the seeds OF its own de-
struction
Two important problems confront Judge
Taft-tarif reform and currency reform
a cur 1a
heard about the latter problem, all atten-
ton centering on the tariff. It is a
fact however. that currency reform is on
the republican card. and the financial in
terests are expecting action at the regular
session or Congress next winter. So that,
II possible, the President and his party's
leaders IN Congress must work together
In the tariff wind-up In order to be able to
handle the currency measure when that
comes on. A split In the party now. end
ing either In veto or a tariff bill be-
coming a law without the Presidents s
signature. would leave matters In a very
ugly condition.
Judge Tafts duty at the start was
clearer than Mr.. Cleveland's There was
no question last March as to the primacy
of the tariff issue. That led all the rest.
In fact, the election last year had been
won partly on the express promise by the
republicans that they would take up the
tariff and revise 1t at once.
When currency reforms turn comes
there will be need Of the best party tao
tics and discipline. There are many con-
fiicting opinions in the highest financial
and business circles about what should be
done. and Mr.. Aldrich will again have
his hands full in an effort p adjust differ
ences and get bill through.
