He explains interference in Baltimore affairs by saying that as Baltimore is the key to the whole Maryland situation the state chair- man should exert himself to see that party questions there are in the best possible saape. Very true. But at the same ume y are expected to what the tsider—even “supreme contro his the republicans of the know better what they w party needs there Mr. Wellington. dates. And yet Mr. Wellington would aave them rescind all that, and because they refuse to do so he resigns his chair- manship and gives aid and comfort to the enemy by in effect predicting defeat at the polis. If that is not the caper of a boss, and a very petty incapable boss, it is 4iffi- cult to define it. Surely sound money success in Mary- land this year does not depend on any one man. The elements necessary for suc- are there, and only need to be or- 1 and properly directed for succe: to be achieved Tne republicans have some very wideawake men in their ranks, one of whom wouid fill the office of pairman with much ability. The inde- will Joubtiess co-operate the more tor the reflection that in over- : tne Gorman bossism they are not building up a Weilington bossism. The Star had hoped in the interest of harmony among the sound money men in Maryland that Senator Wellington would accept in good grace and as a wholesome admonition the warning hint given to him by the state convention at Ocean City, and that, re- taining leadership if his party still desired and urged it, ne would, as leader, modify his view of the best policy to be pursued upon the single point in controversy in conformity with the deliberate decision of the whole republican party of Maryland in state convention assembled. But Mr. Wel- lington had not the capacity to appreciate and grasp his opportunity. No man will envy him his present position in the prem- ises. He has thrown up his command in a pet, and in the face of the enemy. If his party is defeated in November his ac- tion will stand out against him with blis tering consequences. If success is achieved without him and in a measure in spite of iim, his humiliation will be very great sud his future without hope. The maa who has undone himself is always the most nplete! ndone man in the world. ee An Object Lesson for Chulatangkorn. P ally the King of Siam is popular with the rulers of Europe. He is just now ou a tour among iis royal friends and has Faure. Faure me of the p consider it to that o jes betwee 1 bitter. much igh ection of coun- France has regard and and French troops x of the King of stood back and per- > told in a clear and er, through the medium of this brilliant compliment, that France has ready a large force of men to crush him when it shall please France and the rest at this should be done. After ie Chulalargkorn made a pretty the ree of effici- French army, and expressed ure and gratitude at the show, and ything was pleasant as a wedding he latter himself to that a pretty school teacher chusetts stepped up and kissed nator Hoar. Two questions arise in con- jon with this Incident; why she should nt to aad how she dared. A New Era in Railway Managemen The revelation in the Polic terday ef the seeming fact that t one person employed by the Balt Onto Railroad with sufficient Discrict or the ution Court yes- ponsibility to ¢ overnment to conduct a against that corporation to the receivers of Under the principle corporation should ne * permit itself to be caught violating 4 law sufficiently to Mer the enalty for such an act. It pos: S ample m transportation of pers. Ss from place to pla rses several states and the Dis It si i ¥stem of headquarters that will antly on the move, never tong sh in one jurisdiction to enable the ourts to hold the responsible agents for actions or ne; ered. With Washington, Pitsburg, Wilmington, Philadelphia, Cun berland, Chicago, Laurel and half a dozen other cities and towns on its Toute, it ought to maintain a chain of mercurial Mmanagere, who could pass their account- ability from one to another with neatnes: and dispatch. Titular distinctions ceuld be wiped away. Each man of present responsibility could, in turn, be @ track-walker, a foreman, a brakeman, @ conductor, @ baggage-master, @ train-master, an engineer, an auditor, a fireman, a superintendent, a passenger @gent, a director, a receiver, a flagman— doing Mghtning changes as the groping be const band of the law reached here and there ht a futile effort to find some tangible object for its grasp. Of course, salaries need not be changed. The yard-master of today might pose tomorrow as a traffic manager, but the real traffic manager need not lose a penny of his compensation for the ac- commodation while he appears before the public as a clerk. The courts would soon tire of the endless process of seeking vic- tims. The regulations and the laws would be tied into double bow-knots. ‘The grade crossings without gates could flourish un- hampered. Speed limits might be wiped away while the schedule was run up to the capacity of the locomotives. Thorough- fares could be blockaded for hours, citi- zens could be hurled to destruction by trains, and nobody within reach would be responsible. There is really no limitation to this scheme of management. Its possibilities are vast; its allurements to the railroad owners and thetr agents are dazzling, now that the District has shown the way. Con- gress will find the matter of interest next winter If it should take up the subject for consideration between political speeches. Those in that body who believe that they have heretofore understood most of the twistings and turnings of railway affairs will find that they are mere beginners in the study and the art. A new era has opened. —__ + e = ___ Wages of American Workingmen. The coal strikes ought to carry a lesson to these who denounce all protection to American industries and labor. f the coal operators find it difficult to meet the expectations and demands of the miners as conditions row are, how could they possibly do so with the home markets thrown open to coal mined abroad at a much lower rate of pay than even the lowest rate of pay here? And what is true of the coal industry is true of other indus- tries. The American workingman demands and should receive good pay. He is a citi- zen, with a citizen’s stake in the country. He is superior both in his surroundings and im his opportunities to the man engaged in a similar calling in other countries. How long, therefore, could he be expected to submit te an economic policy which by putting him on an equality in the markets with the pauper labor of other countries would inevitably permanentiy lower his earnings to the foreign scale? Another point to be noted is the readiness with which the foreign workingmen coming to the United States appraises the situation ard insists upon all that it offers. He may never have known anything better before than the pauper pay and conditions of Europe, but once he settles in the United States he becomes inspired by his environ- ment and he falls in with the ways and demands of those by whose side he iabors. The pcorest pay here is a very great ad- vance on the pay he has left behind, but just the same as if he had always enjoyed American wages he insists on enjoying them now. This is true undoubtedly of those Poles and Hungarians at Hazleton. Men of their class live like starvelings and in squalor at home, but they demand good pzy and good homes in the United States, and they add to the forces of danger and discontent when the question of wages be- ecmes acute. This is the country of homes and oppor- tunity, and when it ceases to be such the government will be in peril. In other words the people are the government. If the peopie are protected in their labor and opportunity the government will remain strong and effective. But if the people arc reduced to the pauper wages and conditions of Europe the government will suffer ac- cerdingly. ——~++e—___ To Make Niagara Less Dangerous. A proposition has at last been advanced to prevent in a measure the fatal accidents that cecur at Niagara Falls by reason of persons being caught in the current above the cataract and carried over the brink. It is so simple that the marvel is that it Was rot suggested and carried out years ago. The plan is to stretch across the stream below navigation and just above the aanger line a stout metal cable at such a height above the surface that a boatman or a swimmer who is being carried to destruc- tion can secure a hold and thus either pull himself ashore or remain still until aid is given. It is suggested that electric lights be placed along the cable at intervals to give the victims of the current warning of ‘ts existence in the dark. The cost of such a device, it is estimated, would be abont $10,000 and would be borne equally by the Canadian government and New York state. It would be worth the cost thousands of times over if it operated to save a fraction of the lives that are annually endangered by the swift rush of the river above the falls. Scores are killed each year by this mighty cateract, most of these -persons being caught in the current while rowing in the river several miles above. The Green Stamp Once More. For some years now the red two-cent postege stamp has been the daily .com- panion of the masses. It has carried pbil- lions of letters from lovers, buyers, sellers, friends, enemies, politicians, workingmen, capitalists, servants and ail sorts and con- ditions of men. It has done its duty nobly and has become one of the familiar facts of life. It is now to change its hue. But in its change it will restore another old friend, the green stamp, which was sup- planted by the carmine token. The pass- ing of the green stamp was not caused by any public dissatisfaction with that color, but by a desire for novelty. Green is the hue of nature. It is recommended by some specialists as being restful to the eyes. It is a negative color, waile the red of the stamp that !s about to pass into the records of the philatelists is aggressive. Inci- dentally, the green stamp is cheaper. It will save the government some $10,000 a year. So with red, white and blue on the flag and green on the two-cent stamp, there is little left for the lovers of color to desire. In connection with the censure of ant foreigners” at Hazleton, it seems broper to inquire who invited the “ignorant foreigners’ there in the first place. ———_+ + >__ Mr. Wellington will doubtless undertake to show that his disappearance was due to his resignation instead of to the inex- orable law of supply and demand. ‘Mr. Croker does not Propose to run any risks of going Into the ring once too often, Speed and Safety. The accident which has just occurred on the new torpedo boat Rodgers which 1s undergoing her trials preliminary to her acceptance by the government is not the first that has happened to the torpedo beats and there seems to be a tendency in planning them to give way in point of strength of parts to gain space and speed. The limit of speed in these slight craft ns about to have been reached, and naval engineers are locking for some new device that will enable them to make the step forward in point of speed and effi- ciency without ineurring too grave a risk of reducing the element of safety to those on board the littie vessel. To this end they are watching with great interest ‘the performances of the Turbinia, a steam propelled craft that has been breaking rec- ords in England at a rate that has opened the eyes of the engineering world. This beat’s engines are constructed upon a new principle, so far as its application to the Propulsion of a vessel through the water 1s concerned. It is the well-known turbine, but it ts used in a novel and apparently effective manner. Series of discs through which spirally cut holes run in. series are Placed side by side, each alternate disc being fastened rigidly to the shaft that ts to be propelled, and the others moving freely around the shaft and secured to the outer casing of the machine. Steam is ferced through this arrangement of discs at high pressure and its tendency fs to cause the spiral series of holes to straigh- ten, thus causing a circular motion as the fixed and movable discs pass each other. ‘With an economical use of steam a max- imum amount of power is secured. A speed as high as thirty-five miles an hour has been developed by this oat, and the experiments now being conducted indicate that forty miles an hour can be made. If this craft becomes a demonstrated success it will go far toward revolutionizing tor- pedo boat construction. As Spain already knows how the people of this country feel concerning the Cuban situation, there should be no need for Min- ister Woodford to adopt the abruptness which caused criticism of the seal cor- Tespondence, in order to make himself un- derstood. ——__o- +e —_____ It unquestionably shows assurance for Mr. Platt to ask the President to further compli ate himeelf with office seekers. A Vindication. “It is a monstrous calumny to insinuate that we have been mistreating Cubans re- cently,” said the Spanish general. “Can you prove that?” “Certainly. Everybody knows we haven't been able to catch a Cuban in six weeks.” A Prophecy. “That actor doesn't seem at home in his ix," said the man who makes comments. replied the theatrical manager, gloomily; “he isn't. But he will be unless business gets better pretty soon.”” A Brilliant Debut. Oh, gather round, ye rooters, And make the welkin ring! ‘Tommy Tucker's on the coach line And a rousing cheer's the thing ‘To scare the alien vandals And make the world admire. Lift up your lusty voices When Tommy leads the choir! wi He looks just like Fanciulli Or Sousa out on show, When, with waving hand uplifted, He bids them “Let ‘er go!” So, season after season, We'll hope and never tire If the boys are on the bleachers And Tommy leads the choir. Finally Convinced. “I have been a great mapy years reach- ing the conclusion,” she said, thoughtfully, “put I guess I may as well admit that my husband is the most indolent man alive.” “When did you discover it?” “Yesterday evening. He punctured his bicycle tire. Instead of going ahead and fixing it, he sat down for half an hour to see if it wouldn't get 1ts second wind.” A Chorus of the Capital, Oh, we are freemen, one and all, As proud as proud cn be. We answer to no tyrant’s call In Washington, D. C. But rules have had Exceptions sad, And one just now we know. It laughs at debt And makes us fret, The haughty B. and Owe. If any man your cheek should smite, You'll have, in time, your turn. To break your bones none has the right; This lesson all must learn. For there are laws That bid men pause ‘When to excess they go. They call a halt On all assault Save by the B. and Owe. If you should find a barber pole ‘Too far out on the street, Teil the policemen who ratrol So watchfully each beat. Obstructions all, Both great and small, ‘Take hence and don’t be slow. Do not presume On public room— You're not the B. and Owe. Our hats and shoes and coats we buy Right here within our town; Each need our neighbors can supply At prices well marked down, Why is it, then, A citizen, To Baltimore must go, To get a bit Of law to fit ‘The haughty B. and Owe? —_—__+ += —___ Fairness to Employes. From the West Chester (Pa.) Morning Republican. Every right-thinking person Gesires that henest labor should be adequately compen- sated. Every right-thinking man who works for wages desires only what is right and proper. It is exactly a case like the dicker of an honorable tradesman and a fair-minded customer. One desires a fair return, and the other wants to buy a need- ed commodity at a reasonable price. We have had long experience in just such con- troversies, both as a workman for waces and as an employer, and perhaps we can look at this question from an unprejudiced standpoint. With the memory of George W. Childs in mind, remembering the fairness with which for the third part of a century the present proprietors of the Washington Star have treated their army of employes, we assert that in the main it, is not very dif- ficult to urrange the question of wages with the average employer. And from intimate association with those who labor with their hands, we are enabled to say that the working people, as a class, are modest in their demands. Why, then, should these parties periodically be arrayed against each other like armies under hostile ban- ners? Z To boil down this subject: Public policy demands that there be no wholesale block- aces in the usual course of business by labor strikes or lock-outs. It is due to the fair employer that ke be not compelled to erter into uneven competition with the man whose conscience will not restrain him in grinding the face of the poor, and in pay- ing the smallest wage that necessity will compel his workmen to accept. The man or woman whose sole capital is the ability to labor, should receive a recompense that will be fair. And if the matter cannot be settled by the two parties to such bargains, the right and the wrong of it should be settled by legally constituted Courts of Arbitration. The establishment of such courts by law, precisely like courts of equity, may in some degree the liberty of the individual; but every one must in many things surrender per- sonal liberty for the welfare of the mereral community, And surely, such mode of settlement seems better than the present periodical waste of what is the equal ef many millions of capital. ———_-_» oo ___ Seth Low Will Lead Anyhow.
