Ecadcr for Tammany Hall.

There is considerable talk in New
York city and at Albany in the rank
and file Of the regular democratic
organization. not only as to the lead
ership Of Tammany hall. but also as
to the leadership Of the party In the
state" said j. c. Connors. a lawyer
and politician Of the metropolis at
the New Willard.
IF I am not very much mistaken"
Mr.. Connors said, this mantle will
fall on the shoulders of United States
Senator James A. O'Gorman. who has
made such an excellent RECORD during
the short time he has been a member
Of the senate. While there is cry
little danger Of the party losing the
state to the republica ns. yet a good
many Of the leaders do not want to
take n chances with Charles F.
Murphy at the helm. Friends OF Mr..
Murphy in New York say that he has
been considerably troubled of late.
and it is not the nomination Of Mayor
Gaynor at Baltimore that is bother
ing him. Rather is it the discovery
of a rival for the democratic leader
ship. as | already have outlined. Sen
ator O'Gorman is the man OF the
hour. His selection as the party
in the state would insure a UNI
tied democracy. and l believe he will
be chosen for the place.
MIR. O'Gorman claims that he owes
MIR. Murphy nothing for his nomina-
ton and election to the United States
senate. hut that Mr.. Murphy realized
that he was the only candidate who
could win"

There is already an important
change in the dress Of the Chinese
people in the open ports. and more or

which is increasing the demand for
foreign fabrics. particularly cotton
goods and foreign shoes. hats and
dress novelties.
Factories for the manufacture Of
Chinese goods in a more modern way
and for the manufacture Of foreign
goods q needed by the Chinese are
s%pringing up in all the open ports.
and will arise all over China as seon
as conditions become more sta BILE.
For all these there is an increasing
demand for foreign machinery and
appliances. especially for small plants
and experimental machines.
I'm short. China is entering upon
its new era. and all that has ever
been said and written about trade
possibilities now should be resaid and

ENGnANp's EXPERIMENT FAILS

Buried at the bottom of a cable
message from London. telling of an
arbitration suit between the National
Telephone company and the English
Sovernment over the 800, 600, 900
settlement for the telephone lines
which the government agreed % pur-
chase about q year ago. is a COM
znent that throws q glazing light on
state ownerStip OF public utilities.
Tho concluding sentence Of the cable
gram is this:
"All that the public knows about
the Transaction is that since the
transfer Of the telephone system to
the state its in%eficiency has become
a national scandal"
High hopes yer expressed in
England when the government was
under consideration. It was fully be-
lisved that the government would
improve the service to the maximum
OF efnciency. Instead Of an improve
ment, however,. there has been a
sharp deterioration in the service.
What other result could have been
reasonably expected? Even drastic
civil service rules cannot nullify the
unwritten law that "to the victor be-
loa8B the Sp0llS. so LONE as there
are politicians. politics will play It's
part in the government service. and
II that service Is extended to public
utilities the administration Of the lat
ter will be married by political influ-
ence and favoritism.
The reason why private corpora
tions are able to give better service
than municipalities, states or govern
ments is because the corporations
pick out employees with a view to
their special fitness for the work they
are tn do. 1t may he that the em-
ploye could mo- pass an examination

TWO.THIRDS RULE AT BAITI.
MORE.

One topic of discussion at Ralti-
more is traditional-the two-thirds
rule. The rule is a survival of "hour-
honism." the equivalent of Stand
pat" and "r~eactionary" in political
~phraseology. but in a tenfold more
%hidebound sense. The term "hour-
bcnism," therefore. was peculiarly
applicable to the unprogressive ten
denotes of democracy following upon
the civil war. but the breaking away
of the present generation OF demo.
Gratis from the ultraconservative pol
icies Of earlier days has been signal
lied by the RELOCATION of many things
once held sacred. until the unit rule.
as We say is about the only relic that
links the present with the past.
h amazing vitality Of the unit
rule is hard to account for on any
other theory than that. as II comes
up to plague the party only every
four years, the other activities Of
convention week do not permit o,
that powerful consideration OF the
matter which it's venerable locks be-
speak. Gossip names Bryan as the
inspiration Of the movement to sub
stitute the majority plan. thereby re-
ducing the prospect for a deadlock to
h minimum. while the opposition
would cling to the old rule as the de-
vice best adapted to battling Bryan.

rule did not come in for mention by
Bryan at the time. it is safe to say
that the. man who admittedly controls
a majority of the delegates in sup
port of whoever he may put forward
feels assured hat he has the Two
thirds rule in his keeping. But these
are grand and awful times. and the
democrats may surprise themselves
by the ease with which they throw
off the ncubus Of the unit rule.
