HOPE FOR PHILADELPHIA.

The epithet corrupt and contented'
has chung to Philadelphia from the
moment when a muckraker invented IT,
its perfect fitness being universally rec
ognized Perhaps there may soon be
need of a change. The established bosses
OF Philadelphia, who have gone on uhlh-
terruptedly nominating and electinG
Ashbridges and Reyburns to the mayor
atty, feel compelled this year-or at least
sCme of them do-to name a reputable
business man whose independence OF the
machine is matter of common knowl-
eGge. When bosses have to give up
nominating party hacks and begin to
nominate men like Mr.. George IL. Earle,
IT,, it is sign that their power for
evi, is OH the decline.
We wish it could be said that the
putting forward Of Mr.. Earle under ola
machine sponsorship was tribute TO
the citys awakening civic spirit. In
measure, perhaps. it is. In greater
measure, however. it is due to quarrel
within the machine. The division OF con-
tracts between the contractor-bosses is
threatened by the ambition of one con-
tractor-boss to make his brother the
nominee for Mayor. The fact that a
politician engaged in the business Of
performing municipal contracts should
venture to offer himself through fra
ternal proxy, TO the citizens Of Phila-
delphia for their suffrages and with
some hope of securing the nomination
is the other side of the picture of Phila-
delphia's moral status. 1t is not nearly
so bright side as that which shows the
other contractor-boss presenting so capa-
BILE and clean a man as Mr.. Earle as his
candidate.
Still. if the compulsion upon the ma
chine to select high class candidate
has not been wholly civic and ethical. it
is at least something new and better in
Philadelphia. Once started upward, no
matter how, city quickly elevates its
municipal standards If Philadelphia
cnce has as Mayor man Of Mr. Earle's
character the bosses, even with their
quarrels patched up, will find 1t difficult
to go back to naming mayors of the
Ashbridge and Reyburn pattern.

TICKETS TO TERMINALS.

The question TO what points railroads
may BE- required to issue tickets FOR
transportation is raised in An interesting
form by current proceedings before the
Public Utilities Commission in New Jer-
sey. II has been observed that the rail
roads which run TO Jersey City and
Hoboken, and also to Camden. do not
and will not sell either single trip or
commutation tickets to those cities from
points within the state, but compel those
asking for them TO accept tickets to
New York or Philadelphia. Against this
protest is made by the patrons of the
roads. and the Public Utilities Commits
sion is asked to compel the roads TO
issue tickets 10 the important places in
question.
The answer is easily made that the pas
sengers complaining are not aggrieved,
since they receive more than they ask
for or pay for in getting tickets for a
place a mile or two further on. That
might, however, be regarded as unc0n-
vincing, on the ground that TO charge
the same rate Of fare to two different
places at different distances necessarily
implies unjust discrimination, either In
favor Of the one or against the other
Either the passengers who come over TO
New York are carried across the ferry
or through the tube free. which would
be- tantamount to rebating or issuing free
passes, or else those who get off and on
at Jersey City are charged for trans
portation which they do not get aud
do not desire. From that logic escape
does not seem 10 be easy.
The supposition Is that this system.
which at least In the cases OF some roads
H. of recent origin, has been adopted by
the roads In order 10 place as much Of
their traffic as possible under the inter
state commerce law instead of intrust-
ing 1t to the possibly less tender mcrcies
% the state authorities. This theory
appears to be supported by the repuled

THE NATTER WITH ENGLAND

The railing accusation is brought
against this paper by THE Duluth News
Tribune that it takes the ossified st.
"titude that all of England's economic
ills come from free trade" The charge
is, Of course, absurdly incorrect, but we
may pass that detail by in admiration Of
the ingenuous-or should we say i'll
genious ?-manner in which our Western
critic laboriously proceeds to affirm,
confirm, establish and vindicate the iden-
teal attitude which 1t affects to condemn
as "ossified' and as forty years behind
the times.
The root Of England's troubles, il de-
clares. lies in the sacrifice of the home
market for the foreign market. If that
does not mean free trade we should be
greatly interested to know what our
contemporary thinks it does mean.
Moreover. we are told. England suffers
because she has lost her grip upon the
land. Other nations have not cultivated
their industries and commerce at the
expense Of agriculture. but England
alcne has done so, and consequently
she is doomed. But is not that precisely
what Mr.. Chamberlain has been saying,
and is not that the English tariff reform
ers' indictment of Cobdenism-thatf free
trade has brought distress upon England
by destroying her agriculture, which
until the adoption of Cobden's theories
was one of her greatest and most profit
able industries?
We do not think that all Of England $
economic troubles proceed from free
trade, for she suffers from some which
are common TO protectionist countries.
But we are quite In accord with our
Duluth contemporary In thinking that
her sacrifice of the home for the foreign
market and Of her agricultural interests
for the sake of manufactures and COM
inerce is one Of their chief sources.
That The News TRIBUNE" should fail TO
recognize the fact that that sacrifice was
essentially involved in the adoption OF
free trade indicates n degree of obfusca-
ton which we had not expected to find
in the pellucid atmosphere OF the Zenith
City Of the Unsalted Seas.

JlPAN'S WAR LOSSES.

IN exceedingly interesting contribu-
ton to the history of the Russo-Japanese
War has just appeared in the "Militar
Wochenblatt," Of Berlin, on the au-
thority Of Dr.. Akiyama, surgeon gen
cral, and DR.. Mori chief of the medical
department, Of the japanese army. 1t
consists Of authentic statements Of the
by the japanese army in the seven great
battles of the war; statistics which have
not hitherto been made public These
official figures do not altogether agree
with the estimates which have hitherto
been made, though they seldom widely
differ from them, while they amply CON
firm the general estimate of the colossal
proportions of some of those struggles.
The first Of these seven battles in the
Peninsular and AIanchurian campaign
was that at Nanshan, or Kinchou in
which 10000 japanese stOrmed a sup
posedly almost impregnable hill defend
ed by only 1900 Russians, Of whom
only 5000 were actually engaged. There
the japanese lost in two days 80 officers
and G63 men killed and III officers and
$3.50 men wounded, total Of 1850. or
nearly u per cent Of their entire force.
against Russian loss of probably 800.
or 30 per cent. At Telissu, or Wafang-
kOu, where for two days they had $4,000
men opposed TO $4,000 Russians, they
lost S officers and 202 men killed and A
officers and So men wounded, a total of
Las, against probably 5000 on the other
side. At Tashichiao. drawn hattie.
three days in duration, the japanese
lost IS officers and 1S2 men killed and 81
officers and 913 men wounded, IA total of
1859. In the twelve days battles at
Lao Yang there were killed 222e officers
and 5,355 men, and Cos officers and
1880 men were wounded, AN appalling
total Of 23,T14, or considerably more
than twice the Russian losses.
At Shah HO there were thirteen days
Of fighting, in which 179 officers and
3,9l7 men were killed and COS officers
and 1878 men were wounded. Il total Of
20.J74. At Sandepu, or Heikoutai, the
two days fighting in a snowstorm cost
the japanese 80 officers and 1,754 men
killed and 30 officers and 1923 men
wounded, total of Oil. Finally, in the
closing battle al Moukden, when Nod's
veterans from Port Arthur came UP TO
reinforce Kuroki and Kawamura came
over the mountains 10 be in at the death,
the roll Of killed was Jj4 officers and
lJ,S73 men and Of wounded 1.799 Off
GERS and Jl,S5G men, staggering total
Of 1O.OS2. The only important differ
ences between these figures and the
hitherto current estimates are in the
cases of Sandepu. where the estimates
were only 5000, instead Of OIL, and
MoukdeD, where they were between
10000 and 10000" instead of more than
10000. II may be added that In that
awful conflict the Russian losses were

THE POWER or REMOVAL

The Gresser charges have at last been
taken up by Governor Dix, and however
he may dispose of them they call atten-
ton TO the evil in Tammany's plan OF
taking the power OF removal of city otii-
Gals away from the Governor. II the
charter is passed as it was drawn up in
accordance with Murphy's orders, there
will be no way Of getting rid of the
Gressers, Ahearns and Haffens Of The
future. And nothing can give greater
impetus to demand for the recall IN
this city than the existence of another
Ahearn or Hafien in Office, secure from
removal for his incompetence, negligence
and perhaps misfeasance.
With its customary blindness Tam
many seems to have concluded tnat with
the wholesome power TO remove improper
local officials taken away from the Gov
eInor it would be In a position TO put
its worst men in Office and public indig-
nation would be powerless. But what
better argument for the recall would
agitatOrs in this city require than the
spectacle of several irremovable Tam
many officeholders Of the worst type:
Does Tammany want the recall?
1t is the safety valve of popular gov.
eminent which Tammany proposes to
tie down when it proposes to make its
rascals irremovable. The people have
felt the necessity for the power of re-
mOval from the top TO the bottom Of the
American system. Presidents are I'M
peachable. SO are Governors. County
officers are made removable under The
state constitution. Some Western States
perhaps because they did not have a
safety valve which worked so well as
that which eliminated Ahearn and Half
fen, have adopted an automatic safety
valve Of large proportions called the re.
call. We do not want it here 1t blows
of steam all the time, so much so that
it is hard to see how there is any steam
left TO supply the energy for the regular
operation of the governmental machin-
cry. There is nothing under heaven SO
noisy or so wasteful as safety valve
continually blowing off steam.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Editorial comment in a New York
paper recently put II thus: THE Italian
government is interested and asks for in
formation about the spread of Italian crime
I'm this country, and wishes to aid In check
ing it, That is because the victims of the
bad Italians are almost always Italians"
No truly reflective mind will agree to
this, because there IS no such thing prac-
ticable as continued interest exercising it
self in governments over people who ex-
patriate themselves by becoming citizens in
foreign lands, and as for those Italians who
come here only TO get enough money to re-
turn to Italy and settle into living on it, the
Italian government cannot any more prop
erly keep track of them while they are
here than II can those who come to stay,
simply because fixed intentions In these
people are never patent or publicly made
known
It is therefore obvious that what the
Italian government is interested in just
here is the whole circumstance and condi-
ton of outrageous defiance of our laws by
Italian criminals here, over six hundred OF
whom are at large in New York City to-
day, although their names are all known to
the police here together with much OF their
criminal records n condition which, IL
fagrautly continued, will naturally arouse
such force of public opinion against all
common Italians that no more OF them Will
be permitted TO come as Immigrants into
this country. Self-nterest in the Italian
government could not possibly agree to this
denial of immigration here. because then
the source Of money supply for wretchedly
poor Italians at home would be cut off
short, source whereby they have already
got some hundreds of millions of dollars.

NEW YORK'S DISCREDITABLE $50
I1TJON

Il
Maine had no difficulty in deciding
that it wanted direct primaries. Three
out of every four voters said at the
recent election that they preferred TO
make their own nominations. And the
statewide system which they adopted
is really a statewide system, not Il
statewide sham like that which the
Democratic party in this state Is dis
cussing as a sop TO the public, permitting
the bosses TO keep for themselves all the
nominations which really count and
letting the people fill the little places
if they want to.
New York will soon be isolated, for 1t
is becoming surrounded by direct pri-
mary states. Massachusetts adopted a
statewide system last winter. New Jer-
sey, after brief trial Of limited sys-
TEN, also this year adopted a very COM
pete and radical system. The direct
primary is no longer a Western device.
II is found everywhere in this country.
No state which has tried it has aban-
doned ii, while states which have ex-
perimented with it on small scale are
extending its application.
New York will soon be almost alone
In its adherence 10 the old and discredited
system Of making nominations, and 1t
adheres to it. not because it prefers 1t,
but because the boss prefers it. Just as
New York is one of the few states
which have not direct primaries it Is
also one of the few where the boss's
wishes go" Murphy belongs to the
past and so does the convention system.
1t is time the past got them both 1t is
being cheated of its just dues.

FREE CANAL TOLLS
An Argument to Show the Legality of
Favoring American Ships.
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In the public discussion now being
made on the question Of free canal tolls
through the Panama Canal on American
coastwise shipping the fact should not be
lost sight OF that Article II OF the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, reading as follows:
1.-THE said government shall have and en-
Joy all the rights incident to such construc-
ton, as well as the exclusive right of pro-
vding for the regulation and management
of the canal" should be taken in connec-
ton with the first paragraph Of Article Ill
of the same treaty, reading as follows:
The canal shall be free and open to the
vessels of commerce and OF war of all
nations observing these rules on terms of
entire equality, so that there shall be no
discrimination against any such nation or
its citizens or subjects, in respect or the
conditions or charges OF traffic or other
wise.
This fully justifies, in my opinion, the
view that the treaty aims solely to regulate
and impose the same rates Of toll on all
competition for commerce between nations
in common market; but it does not either
imply or express that domestic commerce
(within the confines Of any nation). which
I'm our case IS not open to foreign COM
petition, is brought within the purview or
the treaty regulations. On the other hand,
the treaty gives the United States the
exclusive right of providing for the regu-
lation and management OF the canal" II
that means anything, It means that we
can do whatever we want for ourselves III
the matter of using the canal TO regulate
our internal transcontinental commerce, so
long as we do not discriminate in favor
of ourselves on canal tolls when II comes
10 competing in a foreign market where
other nations have trade relations. | am
not contendlng for free tolls for all Ameri-
can ships in all trades, but only for free
tolls I'm the domestic coastwise trades or
this country for all independent shipping.
II this construction can be placed on the
Hay Pauncefote treaty, 1t seems to me
trqt nothing can be palmer than that 1t
should be invoked by Congress In favor OF
all coastwise commerce. Within our own
borders free tolls on this traffic will mean
cheaper transportation, and that cannot
but have its effect in materially reducing
the cost OF living. which is what the peo-
pie are most vitality interested In bringing
about at this time. | trust you Will, there
fore, permit the widest discussion of this
view in your columns.
