THE MIRROR.

James II. Garfield has told the Re-
publicans of Ohio, centain undeniable
truths which many of them are dis
covering anything except agreeable to
listen to. The mirror has been held up,
but there are politicians and office
holders In this state who Will find
fault with the glass because they do
not enjoy the reflection.
The rebellion against Cannonism in
the house of representatives is not
closed, though peace today extends her
palms over congress, Reaction has mol
trlumphed. though reactionists have
obtained control of the committee on
rules, for the reform of which the IN
surgents defied the lightning of "regu-
Iarity". The facts as they exist are
that Cannonism must be removed
from the Republican party even II
the operation costs the patient many
idle days and a long, painful con-
valesence Reaction must be burned
away however intolerable the touch
of the iron Is to party flesh and blood.
These malignant growths mean death

For many years they have had al
most no chance of success. They
have lost the habit of victory in most
Llaces, even in local affairs The
old leadership has disappeared A
true Democratic Congress should do
much to create n new one
Contributing to this end there Is no
reason why the New York city dele
cation in the House Of Representa-
tives should not be greatly strength
ened by the retirement OF variuos
time-servers and stop-gaps In favor
or men of capacity and standing. In
a Democratic Congress New York
should have commanding influence
in character as well as i'm numbers,
but the rule everywhere should be
t. name the best men with the idea
that they are to be elected and to
be of real service to the people.
A Democratic Congress of the right
sort might be the forerunner of a
Democratic President. A blundering
Democratic Congress will only pre-
rare the way for another Republi-
can.--New York World.

THE COMET.

Let us be calm. The HALEY comet
will probably do less harm to the
earth than the earth will do to the
comet Aand there won't be any ap-
preciable damage done to the comet,
for whatever hole the earth makes
in its tail will close right up again
like the hole in a fog when bullet
whizzes through 1t.
OF course, If the comet butted right
into the earth, head on, and hit Cleve-
land in the Public square, something
might bust The weather kiosk would
probably be blown up and the shelter
house knocked endways-but even then
think what would happen to the
cometl The street cleaning department.
would sweep II up and cart II away,
and 1t couldn't ever go cavorting off
into space again. looping loops through
the universe at the rate of a million
an hour, and soaring silly people on
whatever planets happen to be inhabit-
ed
You see, the comet Is composed of
two parts-a head and tail. The
head seems to be composed mostly of
nothing, and the tail little less than
nothing, spread out about 20,0O00O0
miles long and 100000 miles wide.
This tail is going to hit the earth on
May 10. If we sit UP and watch very
intently, we may be able to notice 1t.
There won't be any dull thud when
| II happens. The comets tail is suppos-
ed to be about as solid and heavy as
what there is left IN a vacuum jar af-
ter all the air has been pumped out.
It's so light and thin that sunlight,
hitting the particles of gas that COM
pose the tail, drives them away so
that the tail always stands straight
out from the sun. Some astronomer
said not long ago that the whole tail
could be packed into suit case.
SO, you see, 1t isn't even likely that
our slate roofs and plate glass win
dows will be bombarded with meteoric
powders. There may be a shower OF
star dust; and IL there is, and it hits
our atmosphere at night, there will be
a fireworks display such as Cleveland
never saw on the Fourth of July. But
even that is doubtful-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

The Upward Trend.

There Is no excuse for jumping ut
a conclusion or for entertaining be-
lief that society and government are
growing worse, simply because of this
period of investigation and exposure
II is not that the disease of specula-
tive dishonesty and official graft Is
either new or epidemic; 1t Is only
that the public conscience has awak-
ened and that the surgeons knite
which is public opinion, Is being
ruthlessly applied There Is gen.
eral revolt against conditions to
which the peoples eyes have lone
been shut: but the evils of those con-
ditions existed as long ago as when
Christ drove the money changers ou'
OF the temple.
It is the most encouraging sign
of the times that an active ana ell
fective impatience has at last sue
oeeded an easy indifference. The
growth of official and corporate greco
and misdoing has been fostered D!
the "laissez faire" attitude of thu
people. They have tolerated boti
hidden and open abuses of authority
laughing at them in good-natured
cynical way, and rather agreeing tina
'it can't be helped until a few o
those professional reformers' got L
work, and until the growing burden
of taxation and government began t
tell their own story.
Publicity Is the weapon which bot
nation and state are learning to wiel
in legislation, in the courts, in tn
press and the magazines. But 1t
an old evil, not new. that Is bein
uncovered The world is CROWN
better, not worse; and the actiyit
now manifested in the crusad
against graft and bribery and ofiicii
vice Is the best possible proof tha
the trend of public morality is uT
ward.-Dayton Journal.

THE BRIBERs RICHER UP.

SO far the country has known but
one Heney. He, alone, has sought to
get beyond the receivers of bribes and
the distributors. He stuck to the
trail for nearly four years. He put
grafters in jail. He broke up the ring
of graft-makers and destroyed the
gang which handed out the dough-"
But, San Francisco-to its shame
repudlated Heney. He was halted In
the midst of his work. The men high
er up had their period of feyerish
nervousness, but that is gone. The
campaigner who said he would make
San Francisco the Paris of America
carried the day and Heney was exiled.
One Benn Conger has charged one
Joe Aids with being a common CRATER
The legislature of New York Is sitting
as Jury on the case. Yet no Effort
has been made to get at the men and
corporations from whom the bribes
came. The fire insurance companies
of New York maintained jobbist at
Albany who is accused of having
paid money for legislation. Investi-
cation Is to be made of alleged corrup-
tion on the part of the telephone lobby
at Columbus. No mention has been
made of any intention to reach the
telephone company, or the fiscal
agents, desiring the new law.
Here are chances for other Heneys.
Though the pioneer failed. the follow
ers might yet obtain a few pelts. The
law Is not barren of men of nerve and
resourcefulness and patriotisms We
hope that In at least one OF these three
cases new Heney viii appear. He
is sorely needed. Toledo BlaAs.

evident, and that It was used to adj
vantage one can have little doubt.
That the people of the country, not
to speak of the newspapers and the
magazines, have taken the side OF
Pinchot against Ballinger is not won
derful. How could they have done
otherwise? Nobody ever doubted
Pnchot's sincerity his honesty, his
probity, his devotion to the cause
while nobody but the President ever
had any confidence in Ballinger. Why
this strange anomaly should exist Is
not clear to the unaided vision and
|, will be the most obscure and in
soluble matter, in our judgment,
which will confront the redoubtable
Roosevelt on his return to America
Is 1t possible that a similar version
of this matter necessary to its unrav.
elment is that given by the writer in
Hamptons magazine, who charges
that provision is made frequently by
large contributions to the party ex-
chequers from landgrabbers, sugar
magnates, monopolsts and other cor
morants for the appointment of their
attorneys, secret partners and agents
to office to construe the laws to their
liking and to write into the statutes
such schedules and provisions of law
as may enable them to reap in mil
lions where they have sowr In
thousands. Was that why Garfield
was exchanged for Ballinger? Did
the piratical robbers bargain with
Hitchcock to put Ballinger, the at
torney of the grabbers, into the office
of Secretary of the Interior? If not
why was Garfield, a clean, upright
young man of high courage turned
down and Ballinger the corporation
lawyer, chosen? Was that just an
accident? Is there anybody verdan'
enough to believe such an illogical
change was made without some large
impelling force operating somewhere
What was the force? Why doesn''
| somebody inform the electorate FOL
it seems to us that these parties, the
voters, are the stockholders of this
quasi-corporation called government
and that they have right to know
what their directors and managers
are doing.
But somebody says watch Roose-
velt" Well, we are watching him
but it is our opinion that he is the
most perplexed of all of us. He can't
undo what has been done and we re-
member he had troubles of this kind
himself in the Parker Hartman con-
troversy. He can't go back on Pm
chot and his policies and he can
turn against his old partner, Judge
Taft. So what will he do?

SOME INIQUIIIES OF AM
ERICAN POLICE METHODS

One of the most commendable acts
of Mayor Gaynor's administration Is
his attack on the practices of the So
called "Rogue's Gallery" In New
York police headquarters. This Is the
bureau where pictures and measure
1nents of arrested persons are taken
and kept on file. Save that 1t may be
a little worse, the bureau In New York
Is not managed differently from those
In other cities. 1t Is not the system
itself that Is on trial, but its vicious
and unjustlhable administration

and held over night. MS Mayor Gaynor

A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS?

1t Is easy to predict Democratic
Congress in the middle Of Repub-
lican Administration. 1t is not so
very difficult to elect one, as expefi-
ence has shown A more important
question Is whether any good can
come of IL.
To be of service to the country
Democratic Congress must carry to
Washington something more than an
assemblage of warmers, curl
osities, nobodies and accidents.
In most sections of the North not
much attention has been paid of late
To Democratic nominations for Con-
gress. In many cases they have gone
by default to mere place-seekers and
they have been conferred i'm other
instances in joking way upon men
without merit Such Democrats, If
they can be depended upon to keep
out of the opposition camp, count one
for their party and that Is all.
A Democratic Congress of ability
moderation and real convictions
might be of use to the country in
many ways. 1t could serve as a
check upon some of the centralizing
tendencies of the day. II could be
able to curb reckless extravaganza.
II could consider human rights. II
could restore In some degree the po-
litical balance that Is desirable. 1t
could develop real Democratic lead
ers and statesmen. II could provide
a much-needed opposition. but It
ned not be mere obstructionist.
Most peopla agree with President
Taft In the belief that the Congress
t. be chosen this fall viii be Demo-
cratic. II such is TO be the outcome
of the elections the opportunity Ia
one that Democrats orn character
ability and ambition shoi1d improve.

unless cut out.

Mr.. Garfield has run the chance of
political oblivion through his frank
ness. There are powers which will
never forgive him or forget. Privileg-
ed interest will employ the resources
of its great treasures against him.
Standpat organizations will slash at
him with weapons bearing the venom
of hate. Yet Mr.. Garfield has no more
than paraded the truth before the
members of his party.-Toledo Blade

The suddch death Of Judge David
j. Brewer of the United states su-
preme Court came very unexpected-
ly yesterday evening at his home in
Washington. He was the most demo-
cratic of all that court and he was
more often interviewed and heard in
the public life of our people. He
was frequently engaged in discussing
public questions and was an original
and bold thinker. AS a jurist, states
man and publicist he will be much
missed in our country.
