it deems it wise to slander and vilify
all the genuine Democrats In the.-land

Rottenness In Pennsylvania.
The Tammany ring, about whose
corruption so. much is said in Repub
lican papers, is not a "patching" to the
Philadelphia ring,' which is composed
entirely of -Republicans. This latter
ring .recently induced the legislature
to grant a street railway franchise for
which John .Wanamaker offered $2,-
500,000 in cold cash- As John has built
up his immense.' fortune nVy -buying
things for less than they were: worth
and selling them for fully as much as
they were worth, the probabilities are
that the . franchise was worth . much
more than he offered foiMt Some ex
perts declare that this franchise Is
worth $5,000,000. : For .years John, has
been standing on the house tops speak
ing to the world concerning the rotten
ness of Fennsylvania politics in gener
al- and Philadelphia politics In particu
lar, but as ireople remembered that on
a celebrated occasion John went among
the plutocrats of Philadelphia and In
4& hours raised a corruption fund of
$400,000 to be used In buying the pres
idential election and that for so doing
he received "a cabinet portfolio they
have not been very much disposed to
give him credit for sincerity in his new
role of reformer.

ly entered into the fight to purify Phil
adelphia Republican politics. All good
citizens will,, wish the postmaster gen
eral a hearty godspeed in bis patriotic
and self imposed task. He Is perhaps
the most popular of all of Mr. McKiri
ley's cabinet. : Though a Philadelphia
Republican, he has never been accused
of corruption himself. He Is one of the"
best stump speakers in the Republican
party. He is an editor of renown, a
most pleasant ? and agreeable gentle-;
man. . With these ' qualities and ; the
prestige of a cabinet position it would
appear ou the surface that he. should
make some headway with the work of
as the head of the civil service reform
ers in 'America. This being the case.
It is- eminently meet and proper that
his attention should be called-to the
recent refurehensible conduct of that
other eminent civil service reformer.
lion. Henry Cabot Lodge. It seems
that the Junior senator from Massa
chusetts has fallen frqm grace and has
become one of the most robust and per
sistent spoilsmen in the land. If the
spirits of the mighty dead take any In
terest in the affairs of this mnndane
sphere; then the Hon William L. Max-
cy must be in a pleasant frame of mind
these days, for the Hon. Henry Cabot
Lodge of Nahant appears to have tak
en for. his motto Governor Marcy'g cel
ebrated mot, "To the victors belong the
spoils of tbe enemy." At any rate. Sen
ator Lodge is despoiling the ; enemy
with might and matn and, sad to re
late, has dragged to his assistance the
Hon. George Fxisbie Hoar, sometimes
called the cherubkand who has posed
far. lo, these many years as one of the
apostles of purity and sweetness. Jo
siah Quincy.III must extract a great
deal of pleasure from the situation. No
such fall as Senator Lodge's has been
seen since the devil tumbled from the
battlements of heaven or sinceTttr. Mc-
Ginty. went to the bottom of the sea.
It may not. be Improper to remark to
the other civil service reformers In the
language of Holy Writ, "Take heed lest
ye fall.1. ..
' - : A la Mr. HeGInty.
In his capacity as presidential candi
date Mr. Vice President Roosevelt ap
pears to have fallen to the bottom of
the sea a la Mr. McGinty. Only a lit
tie year ago the colonel governor did
bestride this narrow world like a colos
sus. No V he is not counted in the run
ning by the practical politicians of
New York. - When Colonel Roosevelt
reads the Interviews of Congressmen
Sherman and O'Grady, sent out from
Washington, in which it is declared
that Governor Odell has a . lead pipe
cinch cm the nomination and' In which
the hero, of San Juan is not even men

7"" A Boomerang,
If General Charles Henry Groavenor
of Ohio, mouthpiece for the adminis
tration, patronizes a clipping press bu
reau, he knows by this time that his
wonderful Winfield speech is acting la
the nature Of a boomerang. Whatever
else the Kansas City Star may be, it Is
not Democratic." In a long and able
editorial The Star says Inter alia:
Even the spokesmen of the administration, whUa
pretending to oppose trusts and while pointing to
the declaration against them la the last two Re
publican platforms, still realize that the party
and the administration seed defense. Thus Con
gressman Charles H. Orosveoor of. Ohio, who de
livered an address at Winfield yesterday, took It
npdn himself to defend the cause of the great
trust magnates, insisting thst fine distinctions
should be made between combinations that Injurs
and combinations that benefit. Bis defense was a
poor on indeed. Tbe substance of lis argument
was that when combinations preserve wages aad
the number of wage earners and do sot increase
the cost of products there should be no com
plaint,' aad that when the reverse is true the or
ganizations thus imposing on tbe people "will be
wiped off the face of the earth by one of two
processes, either by law or by the more sure and
certain process of competition." '
Discussing tbe i fact that American goods are
sometimes sold abroad for less than tbey are sold
at home, Mr. Crosvenor declared that this was
sometimes done at a loss aad for tha purpose of
"subjugating foreign markets. Now, it monopo
lies or quasi monopolies can afford to go Into tor
eisra lands, pay tbe freight on their goods and
still undersell local competitors, what is to be
come of the American manufacturer who tries to
check their abuses through tbe medium ot compe
tition, the medium that Mr. Crosvenor declares
is tbe ."most sure and certain?" There is nothing
in the Ohioan's explanation of trusts to modify
the sentiment against them. - -
Two Republican Views.
,Mr. Babcock is likely 'to 'make as
much political capital out of reintro
ducing certain bills to reduce the tariff
or remove it altogether which bills
had already been Introduced by Mr.
Richardson of Tennessee and myself
as David Wllmot made out of his cele
brated proviso, not one word of which
-he wrote himself.- The merry war la
the Republican party as to Babcockery
still goes on. It Is a decidedly interest
center of the stage against all comers
In the strangest scene ever witnessed
In congress or out of lt .Tic, tbe second
largest manufacturer of steel rails la
the world, stood up la the house la tho
summer of 1S04 and fougbt boldly and
manfully to put steel rails on tLe- free
list, asserting from positive knowledge
that a tariff on steel rails was not need
ed and that without It" tbe American
manufacturers of steel rails could con
trol the markets of the world.
That ought to have been conclnslve.
but It was not, for the steel barons, led
by Hon. John Dalzell of Tlttsburg, one
ot the ablest of the Republican chief
tains, backed up by all the RepoUIcua
members and a lot of renega.de Demo
crats, forced op Johnson a tariff on
steel rails which he solemnly asseverat
ed was not needed by tbe steel rail
manufacturers.. It Is easy to denounce
Tom as a demagogu and a mounte
bank; but, so far as I know, he Is tbe
only man living or dead who ever
fought a tariff of which he wasxne of
the principal beneficiaries. If Tbe Post
knows of any other, 1 would be de
lighted to have his name, for all such
names ought to be Immortalized. So
far Tom's name, like Abou Ben Ad-
hem's, leads all the rest Another qual
ity which I admire Is frankness, which
Tom possesses 'to an nnusual degree-
In that same debate he said: "I am a
monopolist and will continue to be one
so long as the law permits monopo
lists. What I oppose Is a law which
makes It possible for any man to be a
monopolist," or words to that effect-
But I submit to The Tost that It
ought to quit swatting Tom, for It Is
now engaged In exploiting Tom's the
ory piecemeal. I am glad to welcome
The Tost Into the-goodly company of
those who. are In" favor of taklog off
tbe tariff on articles controlled by a
trust or on products which are sold
cheaper to Europeans, South Ameri
cans and Australasians tban they aro
sold to Americans at the factory doors.
In this matter Tbe Tost, which la able.
brilliant and piquant, is rendering yeo
man service, but It sbould never forget
that in so doing It Is following in tbe
footsteps of Tom Johnson, whom It do-
Jlghts to wallop.
Gone Wroag,
Tbe most sensible prayer ever prof
fered at the throne of grace Is this:
"Lead ua not into temptation." All of
our officers In the Philippines sbould
offer up that petition morning, noon
and night and add to it the other, "De
liver ua from eviL" EL. Phelps Whlt
marsh, governor of Benguet, has been
cited to appear before, his superiors
for nslng his office to force contracts
out of tbe natives whereby he may ea-
rlch himself. Why should anybody be
surprised" at this- conduct on the part
of Governor Whjtmarsh? He was only
doing after bis kind, for the history yt
proconsular government is tbe history
of official oppression and robbery since
the world- began, and It will con
tinue to be so as long as tbe earth re
volves upon Its axis or slides down the
ecliptic. Dishonesty Is Inherent in the
system. . The only way to cure the dis
honesty Is to abolish the system.
The Globe-Democrat says:
By tbe purchase of Louisiana territory the Unit
ed States helped Kapoleoa and France when mon
ey was needed. Why could not tbe school children
of France raise money for a Kapoleoa statue ust
as the children of this country did for the Lafa
yette monument?
That Is a beautiful scheme Indeed
to levy a contribution upon the school
children of France to erect in free
America a monument to "the last of
the Caesars," vbo filled the earth with
human bones and strangled liberty In
France. I have always been glad that
as a member of the bouse foreign af
fairs committee 1 forced Ferdinand
Peck to give up his great raid upon tbe
school children of America. I couldn't
kill his bill entirely, but I did rob It of
its feature of enforced contribution, on
tbe ground that' all such collections
from school children are outrages, plac
ing the poor children In ap undesirable
position, for, while they are unable to
contribute, tbe children of the well to
do can. Tbe more I have heard of Mr.
Peck the gladder I am that 1 curtailed
his bill. . .

Hind Sight and ForesiffhtV; -
"Et tu. Brute!" When In the dog
iays of 1898 some of us who" thought
we were doing a patriotic, deed stood
up in the house of representatives and
fought against the annexation of the
Sandwich Islands, there was no paper
between, the two oceans that vilified
and . belabored us 'more than did the
New York Tribune. We were denounc
ed as : "little, Americans." mossbacks,
traitors, etcM and the Sandwich Is
lands were annexed. "Now the New
York Tribune,' touching the proposition
to either make out of these Islands a
state or a congressiopal district of Cal
ifornia, Is using "identlpally the same
arguments we used in tbe summer pf
189S thereby illustrating tbe proposi
tion that one's hind sight is often better
than his foresight. " If at the propei
time The Tribune and those yrha are
now raising such a howl had come to
our help, we would not now be bother,
with thp nroblem that vexes The
Tribune. We didn't need much help,
v.,, "riMn't. iret -what we did need.
The Tribune Is repeating the condemn

Press says; - '
: Ex-Secretary Hilary A, Herbert ot Alabama has
come out in strong advocacy of the proposed Bab
cock bill. Why not? When the McKlnley bill
was before congress, Mr. Herbert was a member
of the house, snd he denounced the measure as "a
"bill of abominations," a "monstrosity," and pre
dicted that it would "ruin the country." Of the
protective tariff in general he .said that "it was
the parent of the trust and tbe tramp." Mr. Her
