Good Work by Crooms.
Credit Due Them for Successes OF
Horses in Their Charge.

To THE New YORK HERALD: In her
book Comments on Hacks and Hunt
ers'' Miss Fleitmann In more than one
instance refers to grooms in anything
but complimentary manner. We must
all realize the fact that there are good
and bad in every flock. but the infer
ence does not follow that the many up
right and most competent men COM
prised in the category OF grooms should
be subjected to adverse criticism, wholly
unmerited, on account Of the faults Of
others.

sporting parlance. tried back on the
hunted line" that many instances would
occur TO her memory of men who hold
long, honorable and completely success
ful records of service in the capacity
Of grooms from their employers.

Congress conferees arc not without
ways that arc dark and tricks that are
vain, AS this bit OF colloQuy quoted
from the Record shows:
"Mr. CHALMEEs--1 want 10 say
that while this is a small claim Il is
dangerous practice. a bad habit,
and I do not think this item ought
TO go into tho bill In this way.s
"Mr. MApoEN--I agree that It
ought not TO have been put in The
bill. but Il was put in In the Senate
and we had lot of other matters
10 settle"
When Uncle JOE CANNON used to
occupy the chair at the conference
table now assigned TO Mr.. MADDEN he
was reported as once saying to the
Senate conferees, "Gentlemcn, IL the
buck has not been worn out by it's
frequent passing over the marble floor
between the House and Senate. we will
now pass IT TO you on this item"

Our Constitutional System.
The Fifteenth Amendment as Cause
of Race Antagonism.

To TIE NEW YORK HERALD: Martin
Van Buren, in his autobiography tells us
that whenever the appeal has been made
TO the people in behalf OF constitutional
rights as originally laid down by Wash
ington and Jefferson the ultimate ver-
dict has been overwhelming In support
Of the principles Of the Constitution.
The Republican party at its first ma
tional convention declared for a return
to the principles OF Washington and
Jefferson; the second convention declared
that the history OF the past four years
had fully established the proprety and
necessity OF the organization and per-
petustion of the Republican party. and
that the causes which called It into ex-
istence are permanent In their nature.
and nov, more than ever before. de-
mand It's peaceful and constitutional
triumph and Abraham Lincoln was
elected on that platform, which like
wise pledged the party to "the Federal
Constitution. the rights OF the States
and the union OF the States"
He was reelected upon n platform
which declared the duty TO maintain
against all our enemies tho integrity
of the Union" and Ulysses s. Grant
came into tho Presidency upon plat
form which for the first time abandoned
the principles OF equality OF the States
the principles OF Washington and JEFF
ferson. This platform congratulated the
people on the adoption by the majority
OF the Southern States OF constitutions
admitting to equal political and civil
rights the colored men OF the South, and
In its second paragraph declared:
"The guaranty by Congress OF equal
suffrage to all loyal men at the South
was demanded by every consideration OF
public safety. OF eratitrc, and OF Jus
tice. and must be maintained: while the
question OF suffrage in all the loyal
states properly belongs to the people OF
those States"
The old Dcmocratic-Rep party
Of Jefferson. Madison. Monroe. jackson
and Van Buren, had always been faithful
TO the Constitution until the issue OF
slavery became too pronounced. and II
was only because OF the temporizing at
titude of that party upon this para
mount issue that the Republican party
of Lincoln came into existence. and the
war. as I have previously pointed out.
carried the party away from correct
principles and led to the assertion OF
the doctrine that Congress by "A coercive
policy had n right 70 determine the po-
iitical status Of citizens OF certain states,
while the reople of other States had the
right 70 determine this same question
for themselves or course the Fifteenth
Amendment fixed the political status OF
the negro in ali the states, but Il is
none the less a violation OF the princi
pies ON which this Government was
founded. And because OF that wrong
the Nineteenth Amendment has been en-
acted. with how much OF evil remains
to be seen.

A Bloc Not the Remedy.
Real Need Of Farmers Is Good Ad
vice In Planting and Selling.

TO TIE NEW York HERALD: have
just finished reading your editorial arti-
Gle on THE Presidents Bloc Warning. "
The improper conduct OF the Senatorial
bloc is simply a symptom OF the cco-
nonlic disease which afiiicts the whole
farm industry.
These men are trying 10 do something
TO cure that disease. They mean well,
but they are not going at it in the right
way. What the American farmer wants
and by all the rules OF justice and equity
requires is intelligent advice. as a class,
I'm acreage planting. in marketing. in
distribution and in obtaining an cqua,-
lied. stabilized one price, with a reason

Why not advocate an agricultural cor
poration or bureau to give intelligent
guidance to the farmer and forever set

since the days Of Horace Greeley?

Winter Song.

The hips OF the haw are wizened;
Shr1veled the willow wand:
The north wind. long imprisoned,
Has broken each gyve and bond;
The red rose garth is barren;
Fled is the golden wing
Till q hand like that of Aaron
Shall smite, and behold--the spring
Buoyed by hope eternal.
AS old as the Eden birth.
can wait till the rapture vernai
Shall quicken the slumbering earth
For mayhap when the sod Is shaken.
When tingles the tip of tho fir.
Love, like the spring. will waken
In the sleeping heart OF her.

Senator Pepper.

Although THE New YORK HERALD
recently expressed the hope that
Pennsylvania would enrich the United
States Senate by sending to it a man
Of the genius OF CHARLES M. ScHwAR
it can warmly compliment Governor
SpRouL on his appointment Of GEORGE
WHARTON PEPPER to succeed Senator
PENRosE. While Mr.. PEPPER may not
bring to the Senate the business abil-
ity and experience of Mr.. ScHwAB
there is no question OF his qualifica.
tion in other respects.
In the death of PHLANDER C. KNOX
the Senate lost one of the great legal
minds of the day. But in Mr.. PEPPER
1t will find another distinguished
lawyer capable of applying his
trained mind to the problems Of
state. That Mr.. PEPPER has the taste
for national politics and the capacity
for analyzing great public questions
was made evident in the long fight
against the Wilson covenant. Mr..
PEPPER debated the issue against
President WILSON'S most skillful ad-
vocates with a clarity and force un-
matched outside Of Congress.
The new Senator has never con-
cerned himself with politics except in
the highest sense of that word. His
mature life has been devoted to a
profession in which he has shone
for many years. AS Biddle professor
Of law at the University OF Pennsyl-
vania, as Lyman Beecher lecturer at
vale and as the author Of several
important law books Mr.. PEPPER has
made himself known among his pro-
fession throughout the country. His
distinction In practice has been so
signal that he has been regarded as
the successor Of JOHN G. JOHNSON as
the leader OF the Pennsylvania bar.
Governor SPROUTS appointment
may be a disappointing surprise to
the practical politicians Of Pennsyl.
vania. but Americans generally will
be glad to see added to the Senate
man of such ripe culture, clear
thinking and patriotic fighting quail
ties as GEORGE WHARTON PEPPER.

was heard for the first time. The COM
poser played the piano part, which was
with becoming modesty not made un-
duly prominent
The fantasia is in three movements,
played without break. the first slow and
energetic. the second also slow and very
lugubrious, and the third lively. even
reckless. The therlna:ic ideas In this
composition are worthy OF the ingenious
woman who some time ago made music
OF the gargoyles Of Notre Dame. and the
developments betrayed the experience of
one who had travelled far and heard
much. She had trod the steppes OF
Russia. wandered in the regions fre-
Quented by Stravinsky. sat on the shores
Of the Golden Hour and listened to the
melancholy wall Of the Turkish boat

There were distinct mood pictures In

sweet sounds out OF a plano. The title.
