to doubt tf; much good will result
from the . movement, for it says:
"Will these several promises or

President Taft and some - other
eminent" and conservative 1 lawyers
have voiced the' need of such a re
form, and , ' leading lawyers and

From all the comments available
it may be pretty safely concluded
that Mayor McClellan's discharge of
Police Commissioner Bingham was
gross betrayal of a great public
trust at the ( dictation, of as corrupt
and unconscioable a gang of politi
cal freebooters as ever , robbed ' i
city. Bingham, it seems. to be al
most unanimously admitted, was in
flexibly hpnest, and sought to en
force the laws. For this he was
sacrificed. Dr. , Stephen . S. Wise,
who lives In that city and has his
eyes open, denounces McClellan un
sparingly; o do most of the news
papers of that city. The mayor Is
playing politics, hoping to become
governor of New York and perhaps
Democratic nominee for ; resident
But In this incident, that has stirred
the better element of that great., city
as nothing has done for years. It
seems-that he has made a fatal
blunder.
As . a sample of many comments
by Republican newspapers on .the
probable result of the, tariff confer

ville Post will serve: "There are
many points of difference to be set

stantial relief for an overburdened
people has disappeared. It Is eight
years since President McKlnley de
clared there was pressing need for a
reduction of the Dlngley. schedule,
