Promises Kept.

OF other pledges made by the Re-
publican party and kept, the presi-
ident referred to the admission of
Arizona and New Mexico; the adop-
tion of bill requiring congressional
committees to be publish detailed
statements of money received and ex-
rended; the appropriation of $l0,-
00G000 to enable the president to
make inquiry and report as to manner
of reducing expenses of government:
tie reduction of appropriation by
$50 100000 Tor last year; the saving
of $l0,000,000 in the operation of the
post office department
Future Leeislat on.
A number of other promises remain
to be kept. | have already alluded
to the provisions to regulate the isue
Of stocks and bonds by interstate COM
merce railways to which the Demo
cratic minority in the Senate gave its
solid opposition on the ground that
the central government has no Con-
stitutional power to make and eforce
such regulation. In addition, there is
the promised procedure to determine
how preliminary injunction shall is
sue without notice, and when. In
substitution for this the democratic
platform proposes an amendment to
the existing law which would create
a privileged class of lawless workmen
and wouldseriouslyimp the power
Of the courts of equity to do Justice,
Then there is measure to promote
the merchant marine engaged in for
teign service, to which in previOr S
Congresses the Democratic party has
always opposed an almost solid front.
There is the measure forbidding the
acquisition of stocks by one railway
company in a competing line,9 and
there are also bills, already referred to
to secure furthe safety appliances on
always and to establish a basis for
workmen's compensation. There is
also the promise of the Republican
platform ito make better provision
for securing the health of the nation
The most tangible and useful form
that this can take would be the estab-
lishment of national bureau OF
health to include all the health agen-
cies of the Koyernment now dstrlb-
uted in different Departments.
In view of what the present Repub-
lican Congress has done in the full
ilment of its promises, and in view
OF the standard that it has set in re-
spect to the sacredness OF party pied
ges, / have no hesitation in urging
all who are in favorof the perform
ance of the remaining pledges, who
are in favor of progress, in favor OF
practical conservation. in favor OF
economy in government, favor of
the just regulatio of railways and OF
interstate commerce corporations, in
favor Of a bureau Of health, in favor
of a proper limitation of the jower OF
equitable injunction, and who are in
favor of measures to promote the
merchant marine engaged in foreign
service, to vote for the Republican
candidates for Congress in order that
their wish for all this progressive
Legislation may be gratified.

LIMITS OF HONE RULE.

The long awaited decision of the high
est court Of New Jersey concerning the
constitutiOnality of the Civil Service law
of that state is of greater Importance in
its bearings upon the general subject of
municipal home rule than in its limited
application TO the act i'll question. De
spite the attacks which were made upon
the law and the confident predictions
that it would be declared unconstitu-
tiOnal in toto, the Court of Errors and
Appeals by the unanimous vote of four
teen members fully suStains the law i'll
every detail except as TO one Of the
methods prescribed for its application
10 municipalities. As applied 10 the
state service the law stands impreg
nable. So it does in municipal service
when il is adopted by q vote of the peO-
pie; and so il would if the legislature
should make it compulsory upon munich
palties. Only when it is adopted by the
governing body Of a municipality does
the court decide against its validity. Tn
fortunately. the law has been adopted
in this latter way by several munici-
palities, in which il will now become in
operative and the service will he put
back under the hungry and thirsty spoils
system until such time as the Legislat-
ure may amend the law or the people
may adopt it by popular vote
The most interesting and farreachin1
feature of the decision. however is its
almost contemptuous sweeping away
Of the contention of the opponents of
the law that the law was uncOnstitu-
tional because ii violated the municipal
right of home rule by giving state
commission. not chosen from among the
citizens Of the community. certain su-
pervision and control of local affairs.
That, indeed. was the strongest cOnten-
ton of those who sought TO have the
whole law anuuIled But It is thrown
out of court in the most unheSitating
and emphatic manner by every Judge
on the bench. II is pointed out that the
constitution of the state gives not q
single word Of guarantee Of home rule.
The state is supreme. The Legisla ture
has ample power to govern every part
Of the state and every political division
OF il OH equal terms. The state is di-
Hided int" municipalities not 10 cOnst-
tute series of Inpcrid in impcrio but
purely for the convenience of the gen
eral government. The state government

POPLAR J4RELS.

The way in which mistaken popular
illustrated in the general credit now
given to Senator John Sherman for
framing the Sherman antitrust law.
Ex-senator George F. Edmunds, of Yer
mont, in a letter written the other day
to Mr.. Charles z. Howland. of this city,
tells the true Story-well known at the
time-of the preparation of that meas
ure. An antitrust bill was introduced
by Mr.. Sherman and after amendment
was reported from the Finance Com
mittee. of which he was a member. But
when considered in the Senate it was
found 10 be SO loosely drawn as to be
practically worthless, and it was re-
ferred to the judiciary Committee for
redrafting. Mr. Edmunds, who was then
the chairman Of the Judiciary Commit
tee, says that ''all after the enacting
''tirely different series of provisions was
inserted as result of most careful
''diScusSiOn and consideration"
Mr.. Edmunds probably refers to him
self when he says further: These pro-
visions were put in the very form in
(which they now stand in the statute
'by one Of the members of that COM
'mittee. and agreed upon unanimously
by it and so reported to the Senate"
The law was not taken very seriously
by the Congress which passed it, and no
protest was made when Mr.. Sherman's
name. attached to the original rejected
bill, was affixed also to the radically al
tered substitute. AS time passes The anti
trust law looms largest among the many
important laws enacted by the 51st Con-
greSs. Mr. Sherman had conspicuous
part in framing and passing other meas
ures of that Congress, like the tariff
law and the silver purchase compromise
law of 1890. But the measure with
which he had least to do seems likely
to remain (without real desert) one Of
the most lasting monuments to his rep
utation as a farSighted statesman and
legislator
