striker. Glad to Return.

To the Editor of the Evening Star;
The settlement of the express strik3
in Jersey City and New York is far
from being satisfactory to the working
men or to the people who are interest
ed in the welfare of the drivers and
helpers. Instead Of the -ecogn''t n Ct
the union the drivers demanded AT he
beginning of the strike and higher
wages for the helpers and shorter
hours Tor everybody, the mea tf. gong
back to work like whipped dogs. They
are glad to b. taken nack n not to
be Disseminated against by their en-
ployers. What is the reason for this
The sentiment of the public was with
the strikers. everybody agreed that the
companies were treating their men
shamefuliy. the lawlessness Of the COM
panies was manifested when Frank
Platt insulted the governor of Ne"
Jersey. Yet in spite of the fact thai
so many meI' went out in sympathy
practically lost the strike. All they
have is the promise OF the companies
to consider the question of shorter
hours and more pay Surely the word
of employers who can treat their men
as shamefully as Frank Plat and his
ossociat IS hay, treated their men Is
not worth a pinch of salt. Why did
the men go back to work? Why did
they not hold out for a recognition OF
the union? II would seem that Mayor
Gaynor, who advised the strikers to &c
back to ootk had not tn .ir interests et
heart, as was first supposed.

A MaIodorous piscoxery.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Rotten eggs by the thousands, pos
sible survivors of the late Republican
unpleasantness, have been discovered
in New York city. What is more, some
very rotten dealings on the part of
men paid to see that eggs sold are
fresh is said to have been discovered.
If the charges against these inspectors
prove to be true the punishment should
certainly be made to ht the crime

OUTLOOK FOR The sHoRT CONGRESS SESSION..

Nh ONGRESS never does anything until after the holiday recess.
" AS the coming session is the short one, limited to March 4,
there will be less than two months in which to carry out a
program Of legislation. Much of the time will be taken up with
the appropriation bills. The thorough whipping that Mr.. Taft and
his reacti0nary advisers received last Tuesday makes them anxious
to retrieve themselves. The President won't have any Teactionary
recommendations to make to this session. 1t would not avail if he
did. 1t will be a cowed majority to receive his annual message ard
there will be little enough stomach for reactionary legislation. To
give the progressive element in the House freer scope Speaker Can.
non NAV be removed and the committees changed. In the Senate
Aldrch will continue to dominate, with his usual train of sena.
torial servitors, some of whom depart from senatorial life with him
when the session ends, but Aldrch will no longer be the whole
Senate, and probably he will have less hold upon the mind and
conscience of a weak President.

A HARBoP COMMISSION FOR NEWARK.

XIV OW that the people of Newark have for the second time and
kW by substantial majorities approved the great enterprise OF
municipal development of the waterfront and meadows,
the mandate thus delivered cannot longer be dalded with. me
first essential is the creation of Il competent commission to nave ful
charge of the enterprise. It is evident enough now that that should
have been the initial step. It was farcical to place such great e
sponsibility upon a municipal board of a political partisan char.
acter. TO be discharged at leisure in connection with other large
departmental duties that are wholly irrelevant, and a board, too,
disinclined to move in the matter. Before the Legislature is IN
shape to legislate for the city there should be public discussion OF
the character of a commission to be appointed. Mayor Haussling
will doubtless receive from citizens suggestions as to the member
shin of the commission. Much time has been deliberately wasted.
The municipality should now act.

A CRIMINAL WITHOUT A COUNTRY.

IT T appears that Rodriguez, the Mexican desperate whose lynch
ii ing at Rock Springs, Tex was the cause of the hostile mani
festaton by the Mexican populace toward American residents
and interests, only recently murdered two Mexican cotton pickers
and hid their bodies. The crime for which he was lynched was a
revolving one against womanhood that in most of the Southern
States is punishable by death. 1t also appears that Mexican cii
zens of Rock Springs helped to lynch the malefactor. If these facts
had been known in Mexico there could have been little resentment.
A man like Rodriguez is out of the pale of civilized society. He
would be outlawed as a member of a barbarous tribe. He belongs
to no country. Mexico should feel gratifed to have such a man,
claiming to be a Mexican, removed from the world and not be par
ticular about the method of his taking of

n STATE ELECTION Law AND THE REPEATER

M PHILADELPHIA, that hive of political corruption, furnished
liz all the majority for Tener, the tainted Republican candidate
for Governor, who was badly beaten outside of that city.
How the local party managers secured the vote TO elect Iener Is
notorious IN Philadelphia. Wholesale bribery and repeating. mem.
bers of the police and fire departments acting as agents in this
crime, have been the practise for years. The trained criminal cohorts
of Philadelphia have intimate relations with Republican workers IN
South Jersey, and the work they put in last Tuesday in Atlantic
and Camden and other counties pulled Gardner and Loudenslager
through. If the election laws of New Jersey are made SO rigid
that false registration cannot be made without great risk of detec-
ton and adequate punishment, ~ballot-box vllainy will be checked
and the Philadelphia repeater will be inundated from taking a
Job in New Jersey. There is going to be made in the States cleo
ton laws a radical improvement. No fooling the people this time.

IRISH HOME RULE PROSPECTS.

eTTS HE reception given to John Redmond, the Irish parliamentary
Ii leader, upon his return to Ireland yesterday, was a riproar-
ing welcome, showing the intensity of the feeling among the
people over the bright prospects for home rule. Mr.. Redmond
brought with him plenty of American gold, as well as American
sympathies, to aid in the cause he represents, which never looked
more promising. England will realize, if her statesmen comply
with the demands of Redmond, that a contented Ireland as a state
of the empire is a prop of strength. With the bitterness of Celt
and Saxon extinguished and Ireland sefgoverned locally, the island
will develop magnifcently and add more wealth to the empire than
England has spent in Ireland to keep her in a state of dependence
and suhiection.

A MlNoRITY MEMBER or NE BOARD.

To7 OMMIssIONER-ELECT RYAN, of the Board of Works, will
" be a minority Of one in the board, which now is sohdly
Republican. Every Republican taxpayer has desired mi
noriy representation in that body. If an intelligent and alert man
ike Mr.. Ryan was a member of the present board there would
probably be less to reproach the board for. There would have been
strong protests within the board. With the board relieved of the
responsibility, which it has shirked, of meadow and dock develop
ment, which, with all it's other duties, it was maniestly incompetent
to undertake, the board will be better able to look after the water
supply, the streets and sewers and the street car service, to which
it has paid such Indifferent attention.

JUDGE DLL,s RETIREMENT.

IN S the term of Judge James B. Dill, of the Court of Errors and
IN Appeals, will end next year, his resignation now only antici.
pates the close of his term. There is, however, no reason to
believe that he would not be reappointed by Governor elect Wilson
for a second term if he desired reappointment. By reHgning Judge
Dill gives to Governorelect Wilson the appointment of a second
new Judge of the Court of Errors and Appeals. Judge Dill has
been an able and painstaking member of the court and his Judge
ship has been free from the objections held to the appointment of
lawyers az special judges, because he has not while on the bench

This is the third time the French

We do not wish to seem to crit
icize anyone for carelessaess, but
when it is known that an cratic
river like the Seine is likely TO go
off on a bat at any time It should

No less an authority than Walter
Camp says Yale's regeneration and the
victory Of Saturday are due to Tom
Shevlin. He says the former Yale
gridiron star came back from his West
ern scouting tour and instilred all he
had learned into the demoralized team
of his alma mater to such good purpose
that they we're able to register a vic
tory where defeat seemed inevitable.
This is indeed high praise and should
make the name of Shevlin an even
greater one than it is in the athletic
annals of Yale.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t is generally thought in the Eastern
States, according to the newspapers
in different sections, that the great
meat-packers in Chicago, st. Louis,
Kansas City and Omaha will soon an
nounce an all-around reduction in the
prices of meats of all kinds. This
opinion Is based on reports that have
come from the Western beef slaughter
ing cen res foi a week pas, but none
of the mea.-pa2kers who form the beef
trust, viii h controls pr ~, have been
quoted as promising a reduction at
once.
Dealers in Newark and New York
have said that in their judgment the
harons ot me -ecf trust fear that be-
cause of the great Democratic victory
in the recent elections the Democrats,
who will have a good working majority
in the House of Representatives, may
remove the tariff of two cents a pouno
on meats from Canada and other coun-
tries. But the Senate is Republican
and unless the insurgent sen. to, s
work with the Democratic House the
latter cannot change the tariff, and
President Taft is committed to the
Payne-Aldrich high tariff.
If he beef trust red1 IS prices it
will be because the barons are con-
WINGED that the great Republican de-
feat a caused by the high prices OF
meats and all food articles. 1t is said
turkeys will be cheaper for Thanks
giving dinners. Well, this was stated
in the EVENING STAR a week ago.
There is a great supply of turkeys this
season, OBSERVER.

One of the Democratic victories re-
corded in the long list of them can be
so designated only because reverse
English was put upon the term. The
candidate won because he lost. Two
unwilling candidates for the office Of
justice Of the peace were put up by the
opposing parties in an Indiana town.
They took the stump in an earnest
effort each to elect the other. The Re-
publican won and therefore lost. If the
office has acquired as bad a reputation
as that which handicaps it in this
State, there Is no occasion to marvel
at the industry with which the candi-
dates sought to avoid election.

counts of their plentifulness and the

sell seem almost unbelievable. In the

dealers to be due largely to the Demo-

scarce and there was every reason to
believe they would command their old
