The Money Trust and Baltimore.

The money trust matter to be appealed
by the Bryanites to the Baltimore con-
vcntion? Well. that is within their right
if they think such step proper. But will
il he?
y simple proposition would have been
presented if the Henry resolution had
been rejected outright, and no investiga-
tion of the subject matter ordered. Then
Wall street might have been open to
some persuasive ccnsure. The charge
That the money trust triumphed might
have been pressed with some success, and
"a halcyon and vociferous time at the
national convention assured.
Eut an investigation has been ordered.
and, as ordered. the whole doings-Sood.
bad and indfferent-of the money trust
should he laid bare. Instead of one
small. select committee several large,
regular committees will do the work. and
their combined activities should throw all
the light necessary ON the complicated
subject.
What. then, if these Investigations both
surprise and delight Mr.. Bryan? What
If they uncover abuses by predatory
wealth. and point out good remedies for
their correction? What if the country
shows approval of the Houses action
What viii Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Henry
have to talk about at Baltimore?
ON the other hand, ii the Investigations
do not reveal the abuses alleged; il the
money trust upon close inspection is
found not TO possess either horns or
hoofs; if great credits have not been con-
trolled and great enterprises defeated by
it, then Mr.. Bryan and his friends may
take the ground that the Investigations
were not properly conducted, and the
party in national council should order the
work done over in different way and
by different men. Then there may be a
great deal to talk about at Baltimore.
There will be appeals on other subjects
from the House to the national conven-
tion. On the tariff, say. Mr.. Under
woods views on that matter are not Mr..
Bryan's, and Mr.. Bryan himself, though
not a member of the House, will make
that appeal. His attitude toward Mr..
Underwood is somewhat similar to that
of Mr.. La Toilette toward Mr.. Taft. He
does not regard the chairman of ways
and means as sound on the tariff. He is
convinced from Mr.. Underwoods per-
formances that the latter is no friend of
real tariff revision.
Whatever appeals are made by the
Bryanites to Baltimore will be the more
interesting for the presence of Mr.. Bryan
as member of the convention. His
presentation of any subject always at
tracts extra attention. He understands
and explains any and every feature of
Organism better than any of his follow
ers. matter how devoted. Mr.. Henry
did his best the other night in caucus.
but had Mr.. Bryan stood in his shoes a
different tale might have been told His
telegram, though to the point, carried
neither smile nor resonance of voice.

world, his own master, and free to take
his own course.
But .Tammany wants to get into the
Baltimore game. and as between the
mayor and the governor it has chosen the
former for its purposes.
AS little, however, as he cares for
political palaver addressed to himself, MIR.
Gaynor is willing to help Tammany in its
present maneuvers. In speech Thurs
day night he discussed political issues in
way to please the organization, and
with the object of injuring the man that
it does not want nominated at Baltimore.
Tammany is against Gov. Wilson. 1t
responds to the wishes of it's master.
Wall street wants the Wilson boom
knocked into a cooked hat" and the
Tiger must swish his tail and help along
the program.
But will this help? Will Gov. Wilson
not benefit by Mayor Gaynors indirect
arraignment? In the sections where the
Jersey candidate is strong and hopes to
grow stronger Tammany and its master
are detested. Put the New York dollar
mark on man. and the south and the
west will have none of him. Popular be-
lief considered Judge Parker SO branded
in 1904, and while the south supported
him she did so by a decreased vote, and
the west repudiated him.

candidate for the Baltimore honor. Nor
at present is she urging any outsider for
it. She thinks we'll Of both Gov. Harmon

sentative to a rampant radical. And of
the two she probably hates the convert
the more.

District Home Rule.

The declarations of various democrats
whose names have been mentioned for the
presidency regarding the question of
home rule for the District carry some
measure of reinsurance as far as the
prospect Of democratic success next No
vember goes. The subject is one very
close to the hearts of Westinghouse,
who have had occasion in the past to
feel greatly aggrieved at the frailty Of
platform promises on this score Time
after time the political parties have form
ally declared in favor of respecting the
home rule principle in the District of Co
lumbia, and have promptly, after sue
cess at the polls, brought overwhelming
pressure to bear upon the chief executive
to cause him to violate these pledges and
to give certain local offices to partisan
workers from the states, without the
slightest interest In the District of Co
lumbia, its people or its welfare. The
correspondence between Committeeman
Newman and the eminent democrats who
are mentioned as possible candidates does
not, of course, bring the matter to an
issue. The prospective or potential can
didates themselves are careful to disclaim
any responsibility for the ultimate dis
posal of District patronage But
throughout the letters runs vein Of
sympathy for the home rule principle,
and it is gratifying to have brought thus
into evidence the sentiments of these
statesmen upon whom their party is now
bending its attention.
There are only few offices which can
be filched from the District people under
the pea of partisan propriety or neces-
Sity. These, however are important, and
the occupation of them by men from out
side of the District is a reflection upon
the capacity of the District people in the
first place, and a direct violation of the
principle of autonomy, which is most
jealousy guarded by every community.
Elsewhere it is possible for the people
to protect themselves against the use of
their offices for the reward of political
services performed outside of their bound
aries by those who live beyond, but
Washington, alone of all American cities,
is exposed to this injustice and must de-
pend upon the good faith of those whom
the people have placed in federal power.
1t is to be hoped that both parties will
at the conventions in June write into
their platforms emphatic declarations in
favor of homee rule. This will at least
keep the record clear. and while the
as has been done in the past by the
appointment Of outsiders to strictly local
positions. 1t will at least be possible for
the District to point to the text in re-
proach Meanwhile the letters from Mr..
Newman's correspondents make mighty
interesting reading.

Cares of Candidacy.

oh, who would be a candidate,
The public mind to thrill.
Every time he must crate
He has nervous chill.
Every time he writes line
He shudders with dismay,
Because his critics will define
His words a different way.
Every time he holds his tongue
And won't be interviewed
They tell him that HIS knell is rung
BY doubt he is pursued.
Though our historic precedents
Show patriotism great,
His is the greatest who consents
To be a candidate.

The Reward" of Col. Goethals
From the Boston Globe

FROM the Boston GlODe.
A reward for Col. Goethals for his
services in the construction of the Pana-
ma canal seems to be a subject of dis
cussion in Washington. 1t has been sug-
gested that the colonel be made a brig
adler general when the first vacancy oc-
ours. land that Congress should provide
by special legislation some fitting recog-
milton of his deserts.
Col. Goethals is not only very eff
cient engineer, but also very modest
man. He is accomplishing successfully a
very stupendous task. 1t is not at all
likely that he is bothering his head with
any thoughts of reward" or with figur-
ing how much he would make out of the
job II it were a private enterprise. AS
virtue is it's own reward, SO the reward
Of distinguished public service is to have
performed it, and since the name OF
George w. Goethals will be forever as
ISOLATED with the Panama canal, that will
probably be as great distinction as will
come to any living engineer.

NEGRO SUSPECT IS HELD
Will Jones May Prove To Be The
Murderer of Bertha Courtney
of Scott County.
HELD FOR IDENTIFICATION
Closely Resembles Negro Who
Took the Life of His
White Wife.

A colored man who the police be-
lieve to be Charles Jones, wanted in
Cincinnati for the murder of his white
wife, is being held here awaiting the
arrival Of the Cincinnati authorities.
The description, furnished the local
authorities by the Cincinnati police
department, of the negro, compares
very favorably with the man now in
jail.
When placed under arrest the negro
gave his name as Will Jones, and his
place of residence Cincinnati. He
stated he had been absent from that
city for five or six months and has
been engaged with construction
crew near this city. In his possession
at the time Of his arrest was letter
addressed to him written by woman
in Cincinnati.
The arrest of Jones was made at
the instance of negro woman. who
complained to the police that he had
threatened her life and had drawn a
revolver upon her. He was taken
into custody at the corner of Tenth
and Pleasant streets Friday by Patrol
man Link, and when confronted by
the officer made an effort to draw his
revolver, but was covered by a weapon
in the hands of the policeman. The
negro submitted to arrest without
any further effort and was locked up.
He was given fine and Jail sentence
for carrying concealed weapons.
Upon being closely questioned at the
jail Jones displayed extreme nerv-
BUSINESS. He denies ever having been
in Jail before, with one exception,
when he says he was locked up in a
police station on a minor charge.
The measurements taken by the
local authorities are almost identical
with Bertillon measurements fur
nished by the Cincinnati officials.
