' I '." corruptly working hand in hand with Tammany,
sacrificed their own candidate for mayor In the
effort to elect McClcllan. . No baser barter has ever
marked a campaign since Bryan first

forth their thousands upon thousands

i But on a fair." count Hearst has
.one know the methods of a political machine which has
long been in power and makes a trade pf politics. The
tropble usually is that while ft is Known trauas nave
been committed and while they are denounced during
jl he campaign the moment the election is over all thought
of thenr w dropped. One side being usually as deep in
;the mud as' the other is in the mire, nobody is ever
tirdnght to account for such work and so the frauds are
'(continued year after .year. .But this is one of the times
when the people of the whole country would stand back
k a searching investigation that would lay bare Tam
many's methods and connections, both political -and
.business. : To do this work is a duty which Mr. Hearst
pwes not alone to the people of New York, but to the
.decent people of the. whole country. "A reform wave is
sweeping over the United States. v Wherever honesty
triumphs, wherever fraud is brought to book, the general
cause is tielped everywhere, and the
better things in our municipal politics is brought, closer

-j Let the country see what the ballot boxes disclose, let
it learn of the crooked methods of Tammany and the
deputy Tammanyites, the Odell Republican machine, let
it know the devious connections with the predatory cor
porations and what the people in the long run pay for the
contributions which they,, make "to the. Tammany: 'cam
paign fund. -' This is the proposition hat now faces Mr.
Hearst and there is no man in New York so well qualified
tevuadertake the difficult and herculean task. It is for
iim a real opportunity to dp .a genuine and conspicuous
public service and unless we. mistake tbc . man he .will
(undertake the task with a stout heart and grim de
termination whithersoever it may lead.

powers that be the dire predicament that a large fraction
of the people are in. A delegation of them are admitted
to audience with Premier Balfour, but . while' he admits
the truth of their representations and sympathetically
condoles with them, he has nothing to offer fof their re

of parliament representing especially the working classes,
they have one proposition which they think will 'afford
relief, namely, that the government should establish and

only impracticable but economically - and sociologically
wrong: . Jt would not only tend to destroy self-reliance
and individual effort, buf would be unjust to 'existing

. Usually the immigrants from northern Europe- make
ver creditable citizens. , As a rule they are industrious,
thrifty, fairly intelligent, and -obedient to our laws. Of
this sort are the Finns in the vicinity of the lower river,
and the same may be said generally of the Scandinavians.
Foreigners who will get into the bush and make homes
and farms anjLselllements and establish local industries
are pretty sure to behave themselves otherwise and are
immigrants of the desirable class. ' he extreme Pacific
coast has need of many thousands- such people. Let
them come, the more the merrier. ,

YEN IF THE PEOPLE OF RUSSIA were sen.
sible and deserving of the degree of liberty and
self -government yielded by the crar, they would
owe Tiim little, for what he yielded was forced from him
by condign circumstances. If, on his ascension. to the
throne, he had voluntarily made those changes, he might
have been regarded as a great liberator though it is
doubtful if the people would have made, good use- of
their new privileges. . Whichever 'course he took, he
needed to be a ytry great. man; whereas he is a'very
pmall one for his position.: He has yielded to' resistless
pressure, to terror, to the fear of anarchy and assassina
tion, but too late, as other monarchs have done, If a
temple of true liberty is to be built in Russia, with stones

ROOSEyELT CANNOT INTERFERE. -,
HE GOVERNMENT of the United States can do
officialty. - to. stop the horrible massacres
. Russian cities. ' Eminent Jews them-
selves perceive this. There is nobody in Russia to ap
peal to or to influence except suchas already deplore
these terrible atrocities but are . powerless to prevent
them. Premier, or dictator, Witte admits his powerless
ness at present The local authorities, he says, cannot do
anything, yet ft seems they have power enough to shoot
down marching working or-rather-work-wanting people
and Jews by the wholesale. The local authorities are
either impotent or in sympathy with the massacres, and
are not to be compelled to obey the doubtful and cloud
hidden central authority at St Petersburg. t All the
American government can do is to set an example' in do
ing justice and loving mercy and giving all men a Square
deal, regardless or race or religion, at home, and all that
American Jews and' other Americans would do well to
help in this is to aid the surviving sufferers financially.
It is a case where the conglomerate people of Russia
must work out their-own- salvation if they can, or de
struction if they wilL .That in this process these hor
rifying massacres of Jews occur is an awful tragedy, but
it is one that even so great and influential a government
as ours cannot prevent or stop. - ' ! s

by Rlney end Haset In that state must
hav been very light, probably only his
alphabet, or at most only three or four

otill a mystery to him. and he could read
or write only the words he spelled. . His

this time, end though the Instruction he

must be remembered that It made up In

thin clapboard with one end narrowed to
a handle, arranging with thla the pile
of cools upon the hearth, over which
they set their "skillet" and , "oven" to
do their cooking. It was on auch
wooden shovel - that Abraham worked
hi sums by the flickering, firelight
making hi figure with . a place ot
charcoal, and when -the shovel wa all
