Cleveland and Smith.

OF late the public has been getting some
new points on the personality of Grover
Cleveland. For long time he was ap-
praised as a cold and stern man, easily
pre- JUDGED. and ever after unrelentin-
This seems to have been a mistake.

but Mr.. Hill carried IL, and friends of the
former charged that Mr.. Hill had sold out
the national ticket in his own selfish In
terests. They injured him as a national
quantity four years later. by circulating
the charge far and near. 1t has since
been learned that Mr.. Cleveland never be-
lieyed the charge, and at one time thought
of making a public statement on the sub
ject He was convinced that Mr. Hill
had been loyal to him in that race and
that the reason OF his Cleveland :, defeat
was to he found elsewhere than in Mr.

1t is interesting news which comes
from Mexico of the popular demand for
return of Porfrfo Diaz to bring order out
of the political and social chaos which is
the fate of the country since his enforced
withdrawal Diaz has lived in Spain since
then, and recently celebrated his eighty
second birthday. He Is an old man, and

Cured which was beyond his strength
and power. he is too old for the task
which awaits some one for lack of whom
Mexico is in travail. No doubt the people
of that nation as a whole are weary of
strife and long for a restoration of old
conditions But the former greatness and
security Of Mexico were the product of
one man, and 1t is because there is no
other like him in Mexico that things are
as they are.

Entered as second-class mail matter at the posi-
ONCE at Washington. D. c.
Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Bryan.

Mr.. Wilson is to call on Mr.. Bryan at
the latter's home. The two men have not
met since the Baltimore convention. soon
after the convention adjourned Mr. Clark
and Mr. Underwood visited Seagirt ana
paid their respects to the candidate, but
Mr. Bryan upon leaving Baltimore took
the other direction and has remained on
the other side of the Alleghenies.
As result. no step that Mr.. Wilson
has taken in the campaign since he De
came his party's nominee has first been
submitted to Mr.. Bryan for advice. Inc
speech of acceptance was Mr.. wilson
own. The reswattins of James Smith, Jr-'
was without suggestion from Mr.. Bryan
while Mr. Wilson's refusal to be photo-
Eraphed with Charles +. Murphy was m
directly criticism of performance of
Mr. Bryan in 1905. when the peerless
leader and the leader of Tammany Hail
,laspcd hands and exchanged smiles be-
fore the camera at Lincoln.
If il appears that Mr.. Bryan should
have made the first CALL let matters be
frankly considered. Mr.. Wilson owes
everything to Mr.. Bryan. But for brE-
anism. which Mr.. Wilson embraced when
he entered politics, he would never nave
become a serious political quantity. Ana
hut for Mr. Bryan he could not possibly
have won at Baltimore. The desertion OF
Mr. Clark by Mr.. Bryan at a crfticai
moment in the ballotings turned the tide
to Mr. Wilson. Otherwise. Mr. Clark,
who then had a majority of the conven-
ton with him. would have been nomi-
mated.
1t will be SEEN therefore, that not
withstanding the Smith episode, which,
it must be admitted. does not look WELL
Mr. Wilson is not without gratitude for
favors He valves ceremony in Mr.
Bryan's case, and remembers his creator
in the days of his canddacy's youth. AS
Mr. Bryan has not found it convenient to
come to him, he will make it convenient
to go to Mr.. Bryan.
Will Mr. Bryan stump in the east? His
immediate dates are western. He Is COW
ering territory where he has long been,
and still is popular. His fear is that Mr.
Roosevelt may make inroads on the
forces of radicalism out there which he,
Mr.. Bryan. organized sixteen years ago
and has since kept in line.
Ii is very frankly stated in some demo-
cratic circles that Mr.. Bryan is not want
ed in the east by his party's eastern
mana gers. They fear recrudescence of
old prejudices against the man. In east
ern eyes he Is still the apostle of crazy
finance and government ownership and
ownership of railroads. and on that ac-
count hurt rather than help on the
eastern stump.

The Public and the Merger.

Any proposition such that for the
consolidation of the local public utilities
must be considered from the point of
view of the people. That of the pro-
moters of the scheme is clear enough
without analysis. They want to make
money, either in the process of reor-
SANITATION or in the operation OF the
properties with the advantage of de-
creased operating expenses and increased
profits. But the people who use the
street car lines and consume electric cur
rent and gas are i'm the final reckoning
chiefly to be considered. What will they
get out of consolidation? Profit or loss?
The only possible profit that the pub
lie could obtain from the consolidation OF
the utilities would be a lowering of rates
as to gas and electricity and in the
traction field the extension of universal
transfers and an Improvement in the
service, with possibly reduction Oh the
fare in the course of time. All these
changes for the benefit of the community
would be contingent upon the economy
and care with which the reorganization
was financed. If the combination were
conducted along the usual lines of large
promoters profits, involving heaFy
overcapitalization and an increased load
of overhead charges, it would be prac-
ticalIy impossible to expect any better
ments of advantage to the street car
riders or the consumers of gas and cleo
tricity 1t is already difficult to obtain
from Congress legislation looking to an
increase in the street railway service and
a decrease in rates. Is it to be expected
tha; under any form of reorganization
that does not violate all the established
principles of syndicate creation condi-
tons will be different in this respect?
AS the case stands up to date the COM
munity is not to be consulted in the
premises even to the extent of consid-
Grafton of the matter by it's constitu-
tionally designated guardians at the Capt.
tol The promoters propose plan which
apparently does not admit of any review
or safeguarding consideration. The law
affords no security against overcapitali-
cation in holding company incorporated
under another jurisdiction and not ex-
tinguishing the franchised companies that
owe their existence to acts Of Congress.
Regardless of the plans of the promoters,
without reference to any possibly be-
nevGlent and public-sprited motives to
admit the public to a share in the in
creased profits gained through decreased
maintenance costs, there should certainly
be some method OF supervision. and the
present hope of Washington is that be-
fore this contemplated combination can
be effected Congress will have recOg-
nized in the proposal a sufficient warning
to cause the passage of the public utili-
tics commission bin at the next session.

The Hare de Grace race track has
created condition no longer tolerahle in
Maryland. The whole scheme seems to
have produced trouble from it's very in
ception. Hont rable gentlemen were used
as stalking horses, never dreaming they
were lending their influence to a gam
blers' scheme. Under the guise Of a very
simple act to aid the Belair fair, the
gates were opened wide and the gamblers
fiocked down upon Maryland like harpies.
There il an atmosphere of deceit and
fraud around the whole affair. Members
of the Hartford delegation declare amend
ments were struggled through. Gov.
Goldsborough says he was grossly de-
cieved as to the effect Of the bill, and
had he known the truth. would certainly
have vetoed the measure. The first
months racing made Havre de Grace no
torious as @ gambling center. Our citizens
are appalled, at the prospect Of Mary
land becoming the biggest gambling state

The interests of the public are deeply
involved in every movement for in

RESPONSIBILITIES.

The sunbeams lightly dance and play;
The breezes gayly fly.
The waters, singing as they stray,
All unrestrained go by.
And everything seems more or less
Inclined to blissful idleness.
And yet the sunshine builds the corn;
The wind helps out the yield,
And bears the clouds on which are borne
Rains for the thirsting field.
And everything seems, after all,
Compelled to toll at duty's call.
