It has been felt for some time that the pressure brought to bear on the authorities from high po- litical sources was greater than the cir- cumstances warranted, and that if persist- ed in against the evident equities of the ease it would cause a defeat of the home- rule principle so plainly applicable to this position. This fear was sharpened by the fact that the retiring sealer was an “outside” man, and his selection by Presi- dent Cleveland, in disregard of the fact that it is a purely local office paid for by the District merchants, paved the way to @ similar infraction of the home rule idea in this administration. There is at least one censolation in the situation; the Com- missioners have selected a capable and skillful District man to be deputy sealer, and thus it is assured that the duties of the office will be administered with due regard for the necessities of local business and for the laws. The new sealer is sald to be personally well qualified to serve at the head of the bureau, the drawbacks upon his efficiency being his lack of ac- qvaintance with lccal conditions, and the fact that he is a political imported ap- pointment to a local and municipal office. —_- + ee ——___ A “Fraud” Charge Smothered. The colloquy between Senators Foraker and Allen in the Senate yesterday in refer- ence to the presidential vote cast In Ohio last year illustrates the ease with which “fraud” is cried in the absence of proof and how readily it is disproved by a few figures. Senator Allen has more than once since the election pointed the finger of suspicion at the election returns of the pivotal states of the middle west and he has been answered more or less directly, but not so effectively as to scotch the charge that he and others have made against the purity of these elections. Sen- ator Foraker, however, brought such facts and figures to bear upon the matter that it 1s difficult to believe that any of the free silver allies will hereafter seriously indict the Ohio returns. It is not largely ma- terial whether these notions are definitely dispelled by actual demonstration. The people of the country evidently place little credence in them. They are probably put forth with small faith by their very -pro- genitors. They are more likely launched as chance blows. If they land somewhere, well and good; if they fall short, no harm has been done. Mr. Foraker is a practical politician, and he doubtless realizes that it is scarcely worth the time taken to at- tempt to puncture all the absurd notions fathered by the populists and their asso- ciated supporters of the Chicago platform, but when a rebuke to a demagogic out- burst was so readily at hand it was well to demonstrate how weak are the props that sustain this composite structure. ——__ +e —___ An Unwisxe Boom. It is unfortunate for ex-President An- drews of Brown University that his Rhode Isiand friends should begin now to boom him for United States senator. This not only narrows him to a Iecal issue instead of expanding him, as some of his free ecleagues believe he shou!d be expanded, to a feature of the next national campaign. It aiso invelves the serious danger that he will meet with defeat and local repudia- tion at the outset of his political career. A few figures taken from the election re- turns of Rhode Island suifice to indicate the reasons for these conclusions. in 1s92 the republicans corried the state by the Barrow margin of votes over the demo- erats. That year the issue of the presiden- tial campaign was the tariff question, pure and simple. Silver did not enter into the calculations in the least. Four years later, conditions were different. The not the main issue and the po- were sharply drawn between independent free coinage at 16 to 1 and ey. In that election the republi- cans swept the state with a plurality of S$ votes. The republican vote in 1892 Was 3.71 per cent of the total ballot. In 1896 it was 67.74 per cent. Thus in the sec- ond campaign there was a gain of 14.03 per cent. The platforms and the common un- derstanding of the case indicate unmis- takably thet this change was due to the fact that free coirage is not a popular Propositicn in Rhode Island, while on the question of the tariff the voters are very nearly evenly divided. These statistics should contain food for deep thought by Mr. Andrews and his ebullient friends. In view of them he should either keep out of the race for the senatorship or else emi- grate to a more premising state. oe Canada’s indignation at the Dingley tariff and at the success of Americans at the Klondike mines is easily understood and commands sympathy. If that country will persistently endeavor to be deserving the United States may, in the course of cen- turies, be able to annex it and give it the right to rejoice instead of being envious. ——-+>ee—___ Tae Senate fails to see the necessity of holding an imvestigation to prove things that everybody takes for granted. ————__> ee —____ Mr. Teller as an Agitator. In his speech on the tariff bill yester- day Mr. Teller gave many evilences of how unfair an able man may became when he falls under the influence of fanaticism. Th: Colorado Senator is a very able man, and enjoys the personal respect of all who krow him, but since his conversion to the bellef that in the one issue of free silver ecinage is wrapped up the whole hope of the country he bas come to talk witn the recklessness of a professional agitator. G) He demanded to know if anybody really believed that this tariff vill would Ieetore prosperity. He declared, of course, that he did not. Nobody has taken the sround that tke tariff bill of itself will restore prosperity. It is something that the country has demanded, and upon which certain important calculations are based. It will be cf very great ald for the coun- try to feel that, again, the government may rely upon a competent support. The ‘arid bill will help restore confidence, confi- dence will restore activity, and activity will restore prosperity. @) Mr. Teller attacked the President on the question of a currency commission. What right, he asked, had the President and his Secretary of the Treasury to at- tempt to take the currency question out of the hands of Congress and hand it over for settlement to a commission com- pored of ten or a dozen men? The Presi- dent, of course, has {t not in his power to take the currency question out of the hands of Congress. The only body com- petent to legislate ts Congress. Twenty eurrency commissions could only submit otservations and recommendations. And, for that matter, the President and his Sec- retary of the Treasury can do no more. It will rest with Congress, in the end, to frame and pass a bill which shall settle the question. Does Mr. Teller hold himsclf above receiving suggestions from the peo- ple on public questions? He has probably listened to a good many during his offi- cial career. (3) Mr. Teller denounced the enforced resignation of Prof. Andrews from the presidency of Brown University as au out- rage, and a scandalous infringement of tho right of free speech. With all due respect to the Senator from Colorado, that ap- praisement of the affair is ridiculous. The trustees of Brown University discovered that, through the deliverances of its presi- dent, it had become a factor in a political propaganda, and, very properly, they ob- Jected to such a state of things. They had employed Prof. Andrews for the position of educator. He nad become. instead, of bis own motion, a political agitator, and had drzgged the influence and name of the uni- versity into that field with him. They pointed out respectfully to him that the two offices did not go together; that the university must not longer through him be Involved in a political controversy. By igning the presidency of the institution, Prof. Andrews has elected as an individual to continue his agitation of free silver. And that was his right. His free speech has not been interfered with at all. He wil! probably speak more on the subject now than ever. @ Mr. Teller declared that he would never return to the republican party so long as its present financial policy con- tinued; that in that party now men are nothing, the doliar is everything. How stands the case with himself? He is a pro- tectionist, and yet Is training with men who openly prociaim their belief in free trade. He supported during the war the assertion of the supremacy of national au- thority, and yet is training with men who condemned the mere assertion of it in the Debs strike. He fs a lawyer, and yet is training with men, some of whom de- neunce all courts the mere tools of Property and greed. And so on. Why this surrender of everythirg on Mr. Teiier’s part? Simply because this combination of men favoring free trade, free riot, and freedom from the ordinary processes of the courts, favors also free silver. It Is not an unfair retort, therefore, to say of the Colorado Senator that, at present, with him, the doilar is everything—and a fifty- cent dollar at that. ————_s +o___- Railroads and Saloons. A peculiar situation has grown out of the efforts of certain railroad companies op- erating in the far west to secure the ser- vices of sober men on their lines. It is Plainly to the best interests of the public as well as the corporations that inebriety among the employes should be reduced: to the lowest possible point, for intoxication leads directly to careslessness and thence to accidents, costing many lives and large fortunes in damages. To avoid these re- sults the Santa Fe road and some others have recently issued an order prohibiting all employes of whatever grade or class of duties from entering saloons, on pain of dismissal. There is, of course, a broad rule against intoxication in force. It was first thought that this would suffice, but fre- quent cases of drunkenness proved that the only way to ensure a sober force was to draw a dead line around all places where intoxicanis were dispensed. This order has aroused the resentment of the associated saloon keepers of the coast cities and their leader is now on his way to Boston to pro- test to the financial backers of the Santa Fe road and to threaten a boycott if the order is maintained. As a plain business proposition it is likely that the roads, if boycotted, would more than make up the loss of traffic resuiting from this action in the form of damages saved, and also in the additional traffic attracted to roads known to employ only sober men. Thus the road puts a premium upon safety that has never before been possible on a broad scale. Some years ago one of the lines running out of Chicago tried the exper: ment of prohibiting the visiting of saloon The tiquor men and the brewers protested | But the or- | and finally boycotted the road. der was enforced, the average of accidents was steadily reduced and the road pros- pered as never before. The saloon order and the boycott still exist side by side and the former seems to be having the best of the bargain. The City Limits. While there was little or no apprehension that the result would be otherwise it is nevertheless gratifying that the attorney for the District has stated so clear and strong an opinion aguinst the use of an overhead trolley on the Navy Yard bridg2. The law in the case, granting a franchise and certain extensions to the Capital Rail- way Company, was explicit beyond any reasonable doubt in prohibiting the use of the overhead system on this struciure. The comention that such a system was sible was plainly a quibble. The however, involved a far more im- portant question relating to the extent to which the city limits run on the south and ‘Phe Star contended early in the con- troversy that these limits run to the south- ern shore of the Eastern Branch. This po- sition was sustained by Mr. Hugh Tag- art, assistant district attorney, whose researches in the prosecution of the Fo- tomac flats cases have made him an ac- knowledged authority on all such questions of local geography. If the contention be correc:, and the attorney for the District new maintains it fully, the general law prohibiting the overhead trolley in the city limits operates to settle the case at once, aside from the specific provisions of the legislation concerning the railway. eo In view of the debilitated condition in which many people have been left by the warni weather, Congress may have been moved by philanthropic considerations to avoid the shock of a too sudden adjourn- ment. ——>+o—____.
