That Seniority Rnle.

II the power to appoint committees
is removed from the speaker to the
house at the coming session of con-
gress, as is believed it may be, it would
upset the seniority rule and probably
lead to an interesting scramble for
plums by the democrats when they
come into control with the sixty-sec-
ond congress. The democrats Joined
the insurgents in their fight in the last
session against the power of the
speaker, and now it is reported that
Speaker Cannon and his friends may
help complete this Job this winter.
The seniority rule determines com
mitteeships and chairmanships. and.
while it has not always been strictly
applied, If followed in the sixty-second
congress 1t would give a few ineon-
spicuous representatives from three or
four southern states a monopoly on
the choice places. This, of course.
would threaten the integrity of demo-
cratic harmony at the outset. for the
northern democrats would scarcely
want to sit by and see these chairman
ships distributed to men with no bet
ter claim than tenure of office. But
the southerners would be the bourbopE
in control Of that congress and, even
If the coming session should upset this
rule by shearing the speakership OF
power, since each house may make It's
own rules, there would be nothing to
prevent the democrats from returning
to the old order. In this event the
seniority rule would be restored and
II the southerners insisted upon IFS
strict application trouble would surely
ensue.
While the rule serves a good pur.
pose in giving reasonable precedence
to experience, it serves a very bad Dur.
pose where It magnifies consideration
OF experience to the exclusion or ever
detriment of ability. It might. there
fore, be modified without doing ipjus
tioe to any party or interest and by an
creasing its serviceability.

Task Confronting Dix.

John A. Dix. democratic governor
elect of New York, says he realizes
the task confronting him, and that he
proposes to give the state IAN honest
administration, untouched by any in
fuence but his duty to the whole peo-
ple," adding:
Our party has taken upon itself a
great responsibility, and If we are to
bear we'll that responsibility and per-
form we'll the duties Of state admins
tration it can only be by the devotion,
counsel and cooperation OF all good
citizens"
Mr.. Dix lays upon "all good citizens
part of this responsibility. The point
of chief interest just now, however, is
how Governor Dix is going to be able
to satisfy the demands of the whole
people and Tammany Hall, with it's
train of special interests back Of it,
at one and the same time He will
have a hard time serving these two
masters. The newspapers that sup
ported him for office said his nomina-
ton was dictated and the state con-
vention was dominated by Tammany
Hall and the sinister corporate in
fuences." One Of these papers de-
clared that never in the history of
New York politics did Tammany hold
the democratic party so mercilessly in
it's grasp as at this convention which
gave to John A. Dix his franchise to
run for governor. That and other
papers which supported Mr.. Dix de-
clared that the lobbyists of the cor
porations reached the convention be-
fore the delegates and were more
numerous. They also asserted that
when delegates wanted to present a
favorite candidate for nomination they
went to room 212," where Mr.. MUIR
ply was stopping, and waited hat in
hand" with an humble request that
the boss of corrupt politics in New
York permit them to suggest their
man.
Any reasonable person would regard
this as fairly good evidence that Gov
ernor-Elect Dix was satisfactory to
Tammany, and what it represents. Ii
he was as the nominee, will he con-
tinue to be as governor? That is the
question ahead. Here is where the
responsibility of which he speaks
looms very large in the public's eye.
If he meets the test and satisfies the
conflicting demands he will do what
no other man in debt to Tammany
Hall has ever been able to do in the
city or state of New York.

Meat Prices.

The head OF the Armour packing
industry is quoted as saying that the
general level Of food prices will be
lower. Sometime ago one Of the big
packers predicted a steady rise in
meat prices and they rose. These men
are in positions OF vantage and their
word Is worth something, therefore, so
the consumer may take comfort in this
cheerful prediction.
Il is rather disappointing that Mr.
Armour withhOlds his reasons for pre-
dieting a fall In prices. He must have
very definite reasons, and II they we're
disclosed they would not only be Of
much public interest, but might help
in guarding against mistakes in the
future which may have been partially
responsible for high prices in the past.
He says that the packers as well as
the public will welcome cheaper prices,
and no doubt this is true, for the
packer can probably maintain a salts
factory margin of profit on lower
levels and avoid the annoyance and
expense Of Investigations, prosecution
and rigid regulations which have come
IN the wake Of the general enormous
rise in prices. A better state Of public
feeling would also be possible.
Mr.. Armour, we believe, offers good
advice to the farmers when he urges
them to devote more attention TO rails
ing a better grade OF hogs. He says
that IL an average of two pounds addi-
tional weight we're put on hogs II
would help vastly to solve the problem
of pork prices. 1t would make a
healthier hog in the first place, and
this would do away with so much
waste now resulting from condemna-
ton by meat inspectors.
II Is quite probable that this reign
Of high meat prices has taught its
Lessons in economy and scientific pro-
duetion and consumption This pre-
dictiOn Of a drop in prices ought also
to suggest something as to the utter
insanity Of blaming the whole system
OF high prices on the tariff. Mr.
Armour knows that the tariff, against
which these charges are laid, Is un.
changed, and yet prices, he says, are
going to fall.

Hotels for Women

Americans sometimes get queer
views Of themselves from their British
cousins, who have the faculty OF pre-
tending to know America better than
Americans themselves. In the London
Express recently a writer takes Ameri-
can men severely to task for inconsis-
tency in their treatment OF women. He
says:
We all know that America Is the land
OF good camaraderie between men and
women-or rather. Is Il not well known
that according to the hackneyed formula.
Il is 1.-THE country where woman Is queen
and man her humble subject"
Then our sOlicitous friend proceeds
to relate how in the United States it
IS the next thing to an impossibIlity
for a noble, bus defenseiess woman
who may be travelling without an es-
eort, to obtain lodging at the best

The United States has long held
FIRST rank as an agricultural country,
but now IL is rather amazing to the
foreign nations to consider 1t as the
greatest manufacturing country in the
world. Yet when we export $500, OOO,-
600 worth OF finished products in one
year that is the consideration which
must be given. This nation stands to-
day first in agriculture and first in
manufacture II has leaped to the front
In the latter respect within the last
year or two, and those nations OF Eu-
rope that are bewildered at such things
as a 5000, 900, O0O-bushel corn crop are
astonished at our export trade.
The United States has gone forward
in manufactures largely for the same
reason that we went to the front in
simply the natural result
of expansion and development Of our
resources. But back of this has been
the proddlng consciousness that we
needed to make greater advance as an
export country. We had lost some
ground and II was beginning to be felt
both at home and abroad. The Ameri-
can people are steadily becoming stu
dents Of themselves and their own stu
alton, and this spirit of self-inquiry
and self-aggrandizement is yielding
good fruit. It does us no harm to take
the leading places in commerce abroad
It does not detract from our diplomatic
stronghold.
When we have regarded the inn
mensity and the advantage OF agricul-
tural and manufacturing supremacy
1t will be we'll to inquire into some OF
the factors that have brought il about
We will have to give much credit for
our advance In exporting TO the perfec.
ton of gigantic Industrial organiza-
lions. Whatever may be said of their
methods of business, their objection
able political activities, we have e
admit that their skillful management
their scientific economies, are largely
responsible for our manufacturing
greatness. Felix schuster, one Of Lon.
dOns great hnanciers, says he learned
when in the United States that the
fundamental philosophy OF the greai
industrial combinations was this: Tn,
greatest production of the best prod
ucts at the smallest cost Of manufac
ture, including also highest wages FOL
skilled labor"
Just now the tone Of Wall stree
and other business eenters as to tn,
industrial conditions is high and tn,
optimism may be traced in good par
to this substantial fact Of our recen
ascendancy in manufactures.

Columbus Telegram,
In the Nebraska contest for the office Of
governor the lnsurgent and stand-pat is
sues did not play any part Il was a fight
between Aldrich. friendly TO prohibition.
and Dahlman. openly opposed 70 prohibit
ton and county option. There we're many
complications In this contest. One OF the
complications was a very evident under
standing between the friends Of Aldrich, re-
publican candidate for governor and
Hitchcock. democratic candidate for sena-
tor. and the result was the grinding Of
Dahlman between the Aldrioh and Hitch
cock stones. Look at the Boone county
vote-7OO majority for Aldrich. and almost
500 majority for Hitchcock. That is a fair
sample OF the manner In which the combi-
nation between the Aldrich and Hitchcock
forces worked in the localities where the
machinery was properly oiled. Dahlman
is defeated by a large majority, but
he made a good fight against great
odds. His friends were suspicious
OF the Aldrich- Hitchcock combination
but they were powerless 20 break
It. In the experimenting part OF the
campaign Dahlman was almost alone
among the men Of prominence on his side,
Practically all the democrats OF promi-
hence who usually take part In state cam
paigns either were silent as to Dahlman,
OF openly opposed TO him. Dahlman was
branded as the brewery candidate, and
was denounced, in the language Of Tom
Ochiltree, from hell TO breakfast as the
agent OF the devil himself In this cam
paign. Every prohibidonist and every
county optionist was lined up against
Dahlman. And right here comes the

and how in England they are cordially
admitted and given extra care for the
very same reason-that they are alone
and unattended.
What a shame to American man
hood this would be IL there was a
kernel of truth in it, but what a
commentary on the Briton's inclination
to prejudge everything American in a
cynical vein, since there is not. No
doubt there must be a hotel or two
in this country that observes such silly
regulations, or our British cousin
would never have made the charge,
but these places are in the minority.
The fact that American women are ex-
tensive travellers and many OF them
travel alone and stop at any hotel they
choose in any state or city in the land
is ali the proof necessary to ease the
troubled mind of our solicitous friend.
His criticism does not quite comport
with that other pro-British oynicism
about the Americans propensity for
money-making under any and all cir
cumstances. And his appeal for hotels
that will not discriminate between man
and woman is really ludicrous. 1t
only goes to show how little one may
learn from a country by reading dis
torted reports, or fitting through 1t
and getting his deep-down impressions
