WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT,
High Spots in Sulzer Murphy War.

William Sulzcr, now facing inn
peachment. was elected governor
last November with the support OF
Tammany.
Soon after election he proclaimed
himself leader of Democracy in
New York state" this being con
strued as direct challenge to
Charles r. Murphy, head OF Tam
many Hall.
Sulzer refused TO appoint men to
+ Office at the direction of Murphy and
repeatedly proclaimed his indepen-
dcnce OF Tammany.
First big breach came when Sui
zer last winter espoused the direct
primary and opened a fight for a
real direct primary law
The legislature, with Tammany
= leaders, defeated the Sulzer direct
primary bill and substituted one
which the governor denounced as a
fraud and subteriuge'
Sulzer called an extra session and
made a tour of the state appealing
to the people" on the primary issue.
Attacks on Sulzer began to be
made i'm public. The breach with
Murphy became recognized as be-
yond mending.
a story was revived and widely
circulated TO the effect that an in.
dictment for alleged perjury was
sought - but never obtained
against Sulzer in New Hampshire
twenty years ago.
Miss Mignon Hopkins, of Philadel.
phia, filed a suit for breach Of
promise against Sulzer who was
married about five years ago.
Sulzer declared the New Hamp-
shire stony and the Philadelphia
suit were part of a frame up by
Iammany." He denied the charges
in both instances.
The extra session of the legis-
lature ilatly turned down Suffers
direct primary bill and directed the
Frawley committee to investigate
the official acts of the governor
The Legislature refused TO con
firm Suffers appointments and then
declined to adjourn. thus prevent
ing Sulzcr from making vacation
appointments. 1t recessed, and Sui
zcr eontended that the recess was
really an adjournment. On this
ground he now contends that the
Legislature is illegally in session.
: The tTawiey committee held ses-
sions in New York exposing Zul-
zcr's campaign fund methods and
revealing his connection with the
stock transactions, in the New York
stock Exchange, which Sulzer had
been attacking.

GREAT wATERcoURsE BLOCKED.

The Chicago sanitary officials APP
piled to the War Department for per
mission TO take 5000 cubic feet of water
per second more than is now taken IN
its drainage canal from Lake Mich,
igan in order that the sanitary con
dition of Chicago shall he improved,
and that the drainage canal be made
incidentally Il great waterway for com
mcrce Secretary Stimsou refuses the
application, on the ground that the di-
version OF so mach water as that would
endanger navigation OF the lakes and
the connections between the lakes. His
idea is that the lowering of the lake
levels which would result would be det-
rimental TO navigation OF the interlake
passages and the Weland canal.
IL seems, however. that there might
fairly be test Us to this, to see
whether in fact the detrimental results
foreshadowed would result, There does
not seem 10 be any claim that the water
diverted from Lake Michigan to the
Chicago drainage canal at its present
capacity has had any material effect
upon the navigation of the lakes or
their connecting waters. The idea,
therefore, that test would be proper
to see whether the results expected
would follow Is the practical thing in
the case.
But even though such results should
follow. there is still remedy. There
rs 4 remedy in the turning into the up
per lakes Of vast quantities Of water
that are now nuisance in the Mis-
sissippi valley. Large quantities Of the
flood waters of the Mississippi itself
in its upper course could be transferred
TO Lake Michigan and the great Wis.
copsin river could be turned through to
the Fox River and thence to Green
Bay to make up the deficit Of water
which the additional demand of Chi
cago would create. Besides that, there
are immense volumes Of water in Can
ada which could be turned IN through
the Rainey lakes and river to Lake Su
perior. There is so much water in fact,
in the region tributary to Lake Su.
perior that 1t is nuisance there and
spared, that the denial Of
Secretary Stimson before making any
tests. and the peremptoriness Of that de

plying any deficit Of water, should con,

THE WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC.

Splendid and unexpected progress
has been made in fighting the shocking
evil which is generally described as the
white slave traffic. The National and
the State governments have co-operated
in their efforts to suppress that
damnablc vice, which is so gainful to
certain dcpravcd specimens OF the hum.
an race at the expense OF lifelong mis-.
cry and degradation and death of mul-
titudes of women. 1t is less than three
years since the Federal laws have
taken effect against this white slave
traffic. In that timo there have been
312 cases tried in the Federal courts,
resulting In 337 convictions and only
50 acquittals. A glorious record Of
achievement. 1t shows that the officers
have done their work with a thorough
ness altogether to he commended.
When uiuctenths of all the cases
brought result in convictions, surely
that Is Il record to he proud Of
But the Federal officials are not con
tent with that. They arc planning an
extension of their operations against
this vile and dcpravcd traffic, aud will
ask for additional legislation to
strengthen their hands in crushing i,
out. 1t is to be hoped that Congress
will promptly respond with the further
legislation recommended and needed, It
is good TO see that there is entire
unanimity of action. of purpose, and o.
sentiment between State and Federal
officials, in this cminently human
itarian crusade.

FRAUD AGAINST INDIANS

We sec that the dispatches have ac-
counts Of gross frauds against the In
dlans on the White Earth reservation
IN Minnesota; that the physical and
material condition of the Indians is
pitifuj. and that the Indian Inspector
has neglected the Indians interests in
the allotment of lands. The charges
arc sent forth on the authority Of a
report from the Committee on Eypcp.
ditures in the Interior Department.
Doubtless, there is good deal Of truth
IN this report. and il is very likely
that the Indians have been cheat.
cd there. precisely as they have usually
been cheated elsewhere. 1t is only in
the allotment o. lands on the Iintah
reservation, in Utah that the Indians
have had their full allotmcnts and the
choice Of the best lands, so far as we
know. Everywhere else the whites have
had the better of it, and The Indians
have been cheated. Everywhere else
the reservations have been reduced TO
tillagc and the lands have become valu.
able adjnncts to the State by way OF
reinforcing the assessed valuations and
revenues.
In Utah. where the indians had tho
preferential choice and fair treatment.
the precise reverse has occurred. The
State has had 10 come TO the relief of
The settlers. and the lands nave not
been profjtably reduced To cultivation.
Perhaps they could not have been uu.
de" any condition. bat certainly they
nave not been under the preferential
treatment 10 the Indians. Here is an
inconsistency between what is right.
what is moral, and what is honest. com
pared with what is progressive. pro-.
table. and advantageous to the state
on The matcrial side. IL is an incou
sisteney that crops up every once in
while. and that Al times sets up q
curious distinction between what is ad.
yantagcous TO the State and what "a
morally right.
The 9rossest frauds were alleged a
few days ago also in regard to the
treatment Of the Crows on their reser.

violent charges against officials, both
low and high. But there seems TO have
boon a WAY to choke her Oft. and moth
ing more has been heard OF her charge.
Perhaps she was altogether wrong in
making them; perhaps not. But, at
anv rate. the swiudles and frauds
against the Indians have been so con.
stant and notorious. that Que naturally
inclines TO the belief THAT any charge
OF fraUd made against the whites
whereby the Indians are made 10 sut-
fer may probably be true.
