It is an easy matter to believe that the platform adopted at the democratic con- ion in Maryland yesterday is the work of Senator Gorman. Every paragraph j bears evidence of the handicraft of that agile maneuverer. It fs the shifty bid of a shifty man for votes in circumstances of extreme embarrassment. The document reads smoothly —as smoothly as did the statement Mr. Aldrich made to the Senate In explanation and at- tempted justification of the Sugar Trust sugar schedule. But, like that document also, it contains some queer statements. Mr. Gorman attributes the efforts of the national administration to bring about in- international bimetallism to the influence of the vote cast for Mr. Bryan last year. He forgets that the republican party pledged itself to that performance a full month before Mr. Bryan was even nomi- nated, and five months before the national election was held. And more than th: what Mr. Gorman declares will be brought about through that influence, Mr. Bryan and those of his friends who have the real courage of their convictions-declare can- not possibly be brought about in that way. Mr. Gorman condemns tke Dingley law on general principles, and winds up with the statement that it “has not even the merit of providing a sufficient revenue for the preper support of the government.” How can he safely say that? The law has not as yet had a week's trial. Expert opin- ion is all in assurance that. the law will serve that purpose completely. And Mr. Gorman launches out on his old theme of extravagant expenditures, when no ap- propriations have as yet beer. made upon recommendations of this administratton. ‘The appropriations by the last Congress— which were not extravagant, and would not have been embarrassing but for the ex- istence of a botch of a tariff law for which Mr. Gorman was largely responsible—were male upon estimates furnished by a demo- cratic administration. But as elusive as Mr. Gorman is about many things, he cannot elwie himself. He is the issue in both a local and a national sense. The people of Maryland know him. ‘They have twice repudiated him. The re- publican victory ct 1895 was in rejection of his local policies and lieutcnants. The re- pubfican victory of last year was in re- jection of the national policies he was championing and of the national leaders with whom he was training. He is the same Gorman aow as then—putting suc- cess above everything, and willing to cham- pion or abandon anything upon promise of success. Although failing to declare him- self openly this year, he is still in bonds to the silver men, and if he fs returned to the Senate may be expected to do their bid- ding there. His rule is that of Tammany Hall: show him the party ‘abel, and every- thing goes. The interests of Maryland are all with the sound money cause. The state is rap- idly developing along Haes that call for both sound money and protection for growing industries. Her people are pro- gressive, her credit is good, her business connections of the very best. Why should she longer be represented in the Senaie by a man who plays fast and loose with her reputation and with his own, and who stands for nothing so much as for the finesse of party management and deyious manipulation of men and measures? —- Palmyra Island. seizure by England of Falmyra a thousand miles distant from the Hawaiian group, is not apt to complicate he annexation project now under .onsid- his government. Hawaii has t advanced the claim that this nd belongs to the archipelago originally known tc civilization as the Sandwich ands, but the United States has never ered the clum as of much moment. tate Department has regarded Pal- belonging to another distinct The case with Necker there was an exciting tween English and Hawailan ves- sels some time ago, was quite different. Phat point, which les well vithin the range of the Hawatian euchority, has never been of consequence fer any other purpose than that for which {t was designed by land, as a landing place for a cable, but in view of Great Britain's announced intentions in the matter, it became tmport- ant for Hawaii to secure Jurisliction. Pal- myra Island, on the other hand, lies so far away that it ts of no real consequence to either Hawaii or the United States, in the event the latter annexes the islands, whether England or any other power hoists the flag possession. Strategically it matters Httle, and commercially the isiet almest no value. It appears, too, that the English assumption of authority is no new development, although until re- cently the formal act of seizure had not been consummated. Any discussion of the episode that gives ft the least bearing on the annexation project would be unjustified by the circumstances of the case. seo There should be no objection on any- body's part to the President's requirement that a reason must be forthcoming for the harge of a government employe. It is staple matter of Justice, to which no cisinter2sted exceptions can be taken. —— ++2e___ Mr. Gage at Boston. The specch of Secretary Gage to a com- pany of business men assembied at dinner in Boston Tuesday night was a graceful and felicitous deliverance. It was not in- tended to outline a policy or to argue any point, but it touched instructively on sev- eral matters of moment, and showed tact as well as goud grasp of the issues of the day. The reference to the Pr: mendation to Congress for of a monetary commission was of special moment. It is believed that Mr. Gage’s in- fluence induced the Pre: t to send in his messase. There was some opposition to the step from very prominent men, who took the ground that as the Senate would not grant the request it would be useless for the Presifent to prefer it. But Mr. wanted the matter presented to Con- and the President deferred to his The Island, ts of Gege subject Mr. Gage said at the Bos- dinner: ton “The recomm tion of the President for a commission was admirable in this, that it suggested a way by which a body of well-trained and thoughtful men could be provided to consider at leisure, without distraction from other pressing themes, the important subject of currency and banking reforms. It at the same time opened a forum to which coull be admitted every contributive suggestion from all classes and conditions of men. To these incidental moral advantages may be added the rea- sonable expectation that the commission would have been able to gather in most valuable information, and finally to formu- late wise recommendations wortny of early and favorable consideration by Congress at the regular session next winter. That the pul which passed the House with prompt- ness failed of recognition in the Senate may be a matter of regret, but not one for discouragement. What might have been accomplished through a commission may be achieved without one.” This is the same ground The Star took more than a week ago. It pointed out when this question of sending in the mes- sage was under debate by the cabinet that even if Congress should fail to authorize the appointment of a commission the solu- tion of the currency question would lose nothing. A commission would merely have received and digested suggestions from e¢x- rert business sources, and have reported conclusions. Such suggestions from those same sources will be available to the ad- ministration, as they would have been to a commission. There is no doubt that many will be received, and that both the Presi- dent and Secretary Gage will make use of them in what they may say to Congress on the currency question next winter. The President's message to Congress, therefore, while ineffective with the Senate, | Will serve as an invitation to financiers and business men to submit such observations on the subcjet of a reform in the currency laws as they may think of value in the settlement of the question. The subject appeals strongly to business men, and that they will be glad to assist, even informally, in its settlement is easily assumed. This is evidently Mr. Gage’s meaning in the decla- ration that “what might have been accom- plished. through a commission may be achieved without one.” —_+ + + ____. Police Trials. The opening of the police trial board sessions to the public view assured in time some radical change in the method of ad- ministering justice to members of the force. The old plan of sifting complaints brought by citizens against policemen and by one officer against another was necessarily in- adequa for the reason that it placed the initial power in the hands of members of the force, without regard to their judi- clal qualifications. The fact that the final authority rested in the Commissioners to approve or set aside the verdicts of the beard tended somewhat te offset the weak- ness of the system, but it was plain that as long as the testimony was taken under such conditions the results could not be relied upon as tending to the betterment of the discipline of the force. While the doors of the trial board sessions were kept closed the public had no more than a sus- picion that the wrong method was in vogue. The only tangible evidence of the weak- ness of the plan was the occasional out- cropping of bad feeling in the course of Police Court trials, sometimes with police- men as flerce antagonists. Finally, in compliance with a general demand for public sessions, the present Commissioners ordered the doors opened to the repre- sentatives of the press and the reports of the proceedings of this tribunal caused amusement and some indignation on the part of the citizens. It appeared that much of the time of the members of the board was taken up in untangling legal problems, and that while many of the charges were serious most of them were trivial and of a nature to be settled by the lieutenant of the precinct. Enough was disclosed to show that in any really ecmplicated affair, involving the ultimate efficiency of the force, the trial board was incompetent to serve in such a capacity and that the duties should be transferred without delay to some other tribunal. The Ccemmissioners have now elected to send the complaints formerly sifted by the trial board to one of the prosecuting officers on duty at the Police Court. This plan may serve as an intermediary stage of the case, but it would seem to be better, if the idea is practicable, that the police judges them- selves, whose duties bring them Into con- stant contact with such matiers and who are accustomed to render judgment rather than to prosecute charges, should be made parties to this important function of police administration. ——+++ —___ Ito and Okama. Marquis Ito's statement of Japan's po: tion in respect to Hawaii conforms very closely to Count Okvma’s view as declared in June to a representative of the Star. Japan's leaders and statesmen like Ito and Okuma do not permit the idea of war with the United States to figure for an instant in their politic calculations. But Count Okuma, having come into power pledged to a “strong foreign policy,” and being de- strous of meeting as far as he can safely the expectations in this regard of his coun- trymen, has doubly protested where it was necessary to protest only once, and has used expressions in the diplomatic corre- spondence, which have been confidently interpreted by the experts of the English press as a threat of forcible ance to aunexation. Japan and America have been and are natural friends, and will continue } to be so, to the pleasure and profit of beth, long after Hawali has become an in- tegral part of the American republic. 7 The Elements and the Wires. A flezce storm swept over Hoboken, N. J., last night and played havoc among the electric wires of all descriptions. A citizen groping his way home through the storm walked into a tangle of wires that had been borne from their fastenings by the wind. A telephone wire was among them and it had fallen across a fully charged electric conductor strung in the alr. The man was norribly burned and soon died from his injuries. Overhead wires are safe enough when good weather prevails, when there are no fires in their vicinity, when they are let severely alone, when the streets are not used for any purpose that interferes with the privileges of the wire owners. Under all these circumstances ard a few others it 1s not dangerous for the air to be filled with electric conductors of high potentiality. Hobdken’s citizen had the temerity during a storm to venture forth into a street that was decorated with these nineteenth century festoons. He should have remained close within doors. It should be a rule in all citles thus afflicted that every rerident goes into the streets when the wind ts blowing at his own peril. The rights of the wires must be preserved. —_——_seo———_— Expressions from prominent Japanese statesmen Indicate that the protests against the annexation of Hawaii were mainly for the purpose of getting experience in diplo- matic correspondence. ———~+s—____ Free Delivery in the Subur! No better solution of the post office con- troversy between Brightwood and Bright- wood Park could well be devised than that now suggested by the department that the free delivery system be extended to these suburbs. The present tendency in dealing with the city and district is to disregard the old city limits as far as possible and to consider all the inhabited region within the present remnant of the original ten miles square as on an urban basis. This has been possible only within a few years, dur- ing which the suburban movement has set. in with vigor. It 1s absurd to maintain Florida avenue as the boundary of certain urban privileges and rights, when just be- yond the dwellings are as frequent and as substantial 93 those that Ne on the city side. The Star has long since abandoned all reference to this line In the matter cf its deliveries, and recently attention was called In these columns to the fact that the last of the outlying suburbs, Tenleytown, had been added to the free delivery lst, thus enabling practically every resident of the District to secure The Star dally at the same rate as persons living in the heart of the city. The post office officials have also taken this course to some extent, and at present the free delivery system extends far beyond the boundary, and in some cases for several miles outside of the old city limits. So there is no straining of the precedents in this suggestion that Bright- wood be Included in the-extension of this privilege to its residents. The wrangle over the location of the post office there is bitter, and promises to leave a serious local wound. Whatever point might te ehesen officially for the distribution of tke mail, a large and influential section of the suburban dwellers would be offended, and under these circumstances it would seem that the best way out of the difficulty would be to substitute the direct delivery of the mails to the citizens. This would be a compromise based on modern methods and involving a distinct advance over old plans. Secretary Gage's visit to Mr. Cleveland shows that the administration cherishes no grudge on account of the opposition to the republican ticket with which the ex-Pres- ident was more or less identlfled last No- vember. 2 ———~+e—___ It is perhaps just as well for the Morton Cadets that none of the judges undertook to bestow the cup where it belonged.
