THE BIGGEST SHOW IN TOWN. | Object lessons in government—it might better be sald in misgovernment | —will be attempted in New York thie week on a large scale. By means of exhibits showing what the city pays for and what !¢ gets, those who are In-| terested in municipal affairs will find at No. 165 Broadway convincing ev!- | dence that government is wasteful, inefficient and corrupt. | All this, true of most governments, as been known for years, but ab- | stractions and generalizations carry Httle weight. We read every day with wnruffled nerves of events which if they fell within the range of our veto ‘would remain a hideous memory for many a year. And eo of the abuses of | government we become habituated to the thought of their existence without | fully comprehending their magnitude and their wantonness. Facts and figures pepmed or printed mean much to the analytical and imaginative mind. To the untrained and the heedleas they convey little except an fil-defined idea of wrong. | Tweed said that when his enemies began to aseai] him with pictures be was heipless, for everybody could understand a picture. The obje lessons now provided by the New York Taxpayers’ Conference appeal to the same universal intelligence. The man who gathers little from a col umn of figures will not fail to comprehend a great deal from a bale of hay weighing 180 pounds which the city pays for as contrasted with one wel, ing 85 pounds which it receives. \ It these shows could be made as common as nickel theatres and ex- tended so as to cover the operations of State and National Governmeni« there would so0n be a better appreciation of the evils which words alon: go rarely reach. to FRICTION, THOUGHT, PROGRESS. Too much stress must not be laid upon the fact that there was acute disagreement between the learned men who took part In the debates of the Tuberculosis Congress. At this stage of the diacussion the more coa \ troversy the better, Only a few years ago everybody agreed that consump tion was incurable. Many dn opinion has been adopted and abandoned since then. Others will be taken up and dropped, but there Is reason to believe that out of the study and contention truth will come. When man kind cets itself to a task in earnest there can be no such thing as failure. | Friction among scientific men denotes thought and thought leads to prog- ress. The fight against the white plague was half won when the medical fraternity came to the conclusion that it was not invincible ———— + -___—_ WHEN HITCHCOCK IS EXCITED. ‘When some men are excited they call a cab. Others take to drink. | Still other walk madly around the block. Young Mr. Hitchcock, of the National Republican Committee, catches a train for Chicago, or, if he! chances to be in Chicago, a train for New York. It is easy to understand why a man in Chicago would want to get aboard the first and the fastest train for New York, but unless we accept the theory that Mr. Hitchcock | goes to Chicago for the mere joy of leaving again, how are his bi-weekly | ‘Mr. Jarr Tries to Take a Friendl and tri-weekly trips to be explained? There is a good deal of complaint of one kind or another agatust this young chairman, and it need surprise no one if we have a law presently making it a penal offense for a member of a campaign committee to go to Chicago on an elghteen-hour train without publishing in full his reasons therefor. SPLITTING THE SOCIALISTS ALSO. Mr. Roosevelt is the arch enemy of working men and women. When he grad uates from the White House and goes to Africa, where he properly belongs, he will have rendered his first service to the working clase, Debs. | | | ‘Bugene, V. When the revolution becomes a fact President Roosevelt will be recognize. | as the biggest factor outside of the Soclallet party in its production.—Upton Sinclair, These sentiments were expressed from the same platform on the same evening at a New York mecting, from which it appears that the only party that Mr. Roosevelt bas not split wide open is the one headed, owned and managed by William Randolph Hearst. IN THE POLITICAL W:LDERNESS, ‘The case of the Omaha Republican newspaper which got mixed on the enough to national platforms and denounced a passage from its own party’ latest) | declaration of faith as a humbug and intended to deceive is not specially Temarkable ¢ It is understood that there are Repubiicans out West who are supporting Bryan in the belief that he {s Roosevelt's father, as wel] as his true and only helr, Such things as these are I!kely to make year. a gober man hunt up a guide post. THE SON-IN-LAW. If they ia!ly unappreciated, say or do anything creditable it \s attributed to somebody else, If they violate the proprieties and break through the conyentionalities they are set down as plain, ordi: nary, everyday—sonsin-aw. It is evident, therefore, that a man must cease to be a son-i before he can have a fair chance in the world.
