NO INCONSISTENCY.

"The Providence Journal seems 10
think that The Tribune laid itself open
10 the charge Of Inconsistency In CON
idemning the provision Of the Houston
reapportionment bill which aims TO pre-
vent any state which has adopted the
Initiative from using that method TO re-
district instead of depending exclusively
upon the action of the state Legislature
1.-THE Journal" remarks: ut IS somewhat
"amusing to see so conservative an East
fern paper as The Tribune saying good
'"word for the initiative. which IL usually
s'resarded as "a radical Western or
Southern innovation" We cannot agree
with that view. The Tribune would not
favor the introduction of the initiative
IN this state, and would not have ad-
vised any other state TO employ II. But
n Democratic Legislature in Missouri de-
.cided to try the plan. probably being in
,fiuenced by Mr.. Bryan's long continued
agitation in its behalf Since the Demo
cratic party in Missouri is responsible
for the adoption Of the device. we can
not syrnpathize with the frantic efforts
Of Missouri Democrats in Congress
10 prevent its employment to repair q
gross injustice done by a Democratic
Legislature. We think that the Republi-
cans OF Missouri are entitled TO use a
weapon put in their hands by the laws
of the state in order to terminate an out
s1geous gerrymander
THE Journal agrees with US that
the Missouri gerrymander Is indie
feasible. 1t suggests, however, that IN
other states, Republican as well as
Democratic, the same methods have been
used to give one party an excessive rep
resentation in Congress. 1t cites Con-
necticut as an example, state in which
the district lines have not been changed
since 1912. We believe that Connecticut
should be redistricted and not long ago
suggested a plan for making the dis
fricts there substantially equal in popu.
Iation. But the Connecticut apportion-
ment has worked no such partisan in
Justice as Missouris has, for between
1894 and 1910 the Republican candidates
in the former state carried all the dis
frlcts.

pire. 1t may be that It will be confined
to the currency of Manchuria, as the IN
dustrial development Is certainly to De-
This would not be extraordinary, see
ing that each province has hitherto haa
its own currency system and It's own
standard Of value. Such restriction
would he regrettable, seeing that In the
new constitutional era national unity
and uniformity are highly desirable, ana
we are inclined to think that II Is not
intended that the reform shall be so
restricted.
But let us suppOse-what is proDaois
true-that this sum is intended for inc
reorganization OF the fiscal system OF
the entire empire. We must remember
that the volume of currency In China Is
very small and the fiscal transactions Oh
the empire are insignificant In proportion
to those OF other lands. The total deDI
Of China is less than S75Oy0O0,000. Inc
yearly budget Is less than one-tenth Oh
that amount. The sole official coinage
and monetary unit has hitherto Deeh
the copper cash Of which 1t taxes
LOO to equal a gold dollar in value. IN
recent years another coin. called the
"hundredth of a dollar" has been put
out by provincial minis in great guam
titles, but the total value Of its circu'
lation I'm 1906 was only $31000OOo. III
dealing with fiscal figures so small as
these the sum Of S47,5OO.O00 will he a
powerful factor and may prove sufficient
for the purpose intended.

COLORADO'S DEADLOCK.

The Colorado Legislature adjourned
OH Saturday night without electing n
United States Senator 10 succeed Mr.
Charles J. Hughes, 1r The deadlock
lasted nearly four months and showed no
sign Of yielding from beginning 10 end.
The Democratic party In Colorado is
torn with factionalsm, and personal
ambitions and jealousics made a com
promise impossible. The leading Demo
cratic candidate. Mayor Speer Of Denver,
was able to muster on the last ballot In
Joint assembly only SO votes, or half of
the party strength in the Legislature.
Ex-Governor Alva Adams was the lead
ing candidate of the anti-Specr forces,
and he prevented the holding Of n caucus
iu which a majority Of the Democratic
majority could he registered IN favor Of
his opponent. There was therefore no
sacred embodiment at Denver, and
the grand old Democratic principle of
majority rule within the organization
was not openly flouted only because no.
body could truthfully say that such an
entity as a majority was ever discovered
stalking about the Capitol halls
The Governor cannot appoint Sen
ator. and there will probably be n va
cancy until the next Legislature meets.
\ primary election law has been passed.
and the Legislature will only ratify the
choice made at the primary by the voters
OF the winning party. The acrimonies
OF the deadlock have caused the public
III Colorado to turn gratefully TO the
primary nomination scheme as relief
from the scandal and ineptitudes Of an
election through the medium of a ma
nipulated and factions Legislature. Such
failures 10 discharge a plain duty have
brought legislatures into discredlt and
have furnished a specious argument for
those who want 10 force the direct
method Of election on all the states. II
behooyes the states which still believe ia
the merit Of the old system to avoid
these senseless deadlocks. We believe
that the Legislature is in the long
ruD still a satisfactory instrumentality
through which TO choose Senators. But
legislatures should he more careful about
exercising seriously a serious function
confided to them by the Constitution.
They should stop treating frlvolously an
important and honorable trust.

states. But in a majority Of the states
on his list the districts compared--ohe
small and the other greatly in excess OF
the ratio-are both represented by he'
publicans or both by Democrats, snow
ing no partisan discrimination. where
there is misrepresentation the Demo
cratic party sometimes gets the advah'
tage of it. Thus in Minnesota. OF the
two districts chosen. the cd. with 1'4,-
S56. is represented by Democrat, ana
the 9Th. with 292,S06, by a Republican.
Tn Pennsylvania the 14th, with 146I69,
Is represented by Democrat, and the
nth, with 257.121. is represented by
Republican The 18th Pennsylvania
District one of the smallest in the state.
IS Democratic, and the Goth. another
understood one, is also Democratic on
state issues. although It has always
elected a Republican Congressman. In
the thirteen instances selected by Mr..
Hamlin the inequality works just four
times against Democratic candidates
and twice against Republicans. In the
seven other cases no partisan advan-
taee is involved. But the Missouri ap-
portionment is partisan through ana
through. and must be so to allow the Re-
publicans to elect only three out of SIX
teen congressman, as they did In 1olO
while carving the state for their state
ticket

THE WHEREFORE OF A CONTRA 81

JHE W HLnEr OnE UT Il tON hNp1 q.
"The New York Evening POST pre-
sents a laboriouS explanation Of a very
simple thing, TO wit, the contrast which
It finds between Democratic behavior at
Washington and Democratic behavior ut
Albany. II says:
Leaving out tho long ineptitudes and
follles of the senatorial struggle. IL has
TO be said that the triumphant New
York Democracy has again and again
affrOnted decent public opinion and has
done it's best TO make the people Of the
state repent of the decision last Novem-
Der TO give the party one more chance.
Instead OF the restraint exhibited by the
Democrats at Washington, we have seen
at Albany a cynical disregard Of cam
paign pledges and an overmastering de-
sire TO get partisan clutches on as many
offices as possible.
This shocking exhibition by the party
it helped TO put in power at Albany ''The
Post" explains on the theory that the
Democrats at Albany do not expect TO
get control OF the Legislature again and
ere making hay while the sun shines"
But isn't the fact that government at
Albany IS. government by Tammany ex-
PLANTATION enough?
What else IS TO he expected from
a Legislature controlled outright by
Murphy? The party is after the "swag,'
as Grady explained in his expressive
way, because that is the only kind Of
politics Tammany knows. There is not
q single influence at Albany to prevent
Tammany from behaving at its worst.
The Governor is amiable and spineless,
with no very lofty conceptions himself
of the political decencies, as his support
of the scandalous raid on the Court Of
Claims indicates. The Democratic party
nationally Is not yet Tammany. That
Is the difference. "T'he Post among
others. was successful in making the pub
lie believe during the recent campaign
that the Democratic party in the state
was not Tammany. The public now
knows better. There is 10 longer any
treason to believe that Murphy IS actu-
ated by the best Of motives"

nIAZS pLEnGE TO RESIGN.


The disclosure Of the contents OF the
message from the Mexican capital to
the people of Mexico, and thus unoffl-
ciallv but effectively TO the insurgent
camp. exactly confirms the forecast OF
events which we made on Sunday. The
venerable President is moved by consld-
erations of unselfish patriotism. SO long
as It seems necessary for the good OF
Mexico that he shall remain in office he
will remain. The moment he can con-
scientiously resign with full assurance
that that course will be for the good or
Mexico he will resign. We may leave 1t
to his political and military adversaries
IN characterize that course. The insur-
gent chieftain has already described II
as "the highest kind Of patriotism"
1t seems not only desirable but abso-
lutely necessary that General Diaz
should insist upon the exercise of pre-
cisely such discretion. II is easy for
irresponsible men, and even for Mr..
Madero. to talk glibly about resigning
the Presidency but it Is a very serious
thing for the responsible occupant Of the
office to take that step. For It is not
merely a question of giving up q place
which he has held with high credit to
himself. IT is still more question Of
fulfilling his duty to the nation, of dis
charging honorably the obligations which
were laid upon him at his election and
of making sure Of the consequences OF
his retirement. It would be unpardon-
able for the head Of n great state 70
abandon his post and thereby leave the
nation TO anarchy. General Diaz does
not intend TO commit such an act Of
moral treason. He will retire when he
is conscientiously convinced that his re-
tirement will be for the benefit and not
for the injury Of the country Of which
he was the political creator.
Obviously, then, responsibility for the
next act in the drama rests upon Mr..
Madero and his partisans. It is for them
TO make II clear that the time has come
when General Diaz may safely resign
without fear of thus plunging the nation
into anarchy, and there Is reason to hope
that they will do so. The irreconcilable
tone which too often marked the earlier
utterances of the insurgents has now
largely disappeared. and there is an In
clination visible to recognize the re-
sronsibility which rests upon the Presi-
dent, and TO take him at his word. IF
this wise and reasonable counsel pre-
walls peace and unity will be restored.
1t may he added that the course thus
contemplated will be peculiarly grateful
10 the United States.
