TAMMANY AGAIN ON
ITS
FEET
6ne notable feature of tho election last
Tuesday was tho showing made by Tam-
many People who have been predicting the
disintegration and permanent Iobb of power
of that great organization will And In the
election returns ample reason for revision
of their predictions
Major Stealy the veteran correspondent of
tho Louisville CourierJournal who has been
In New York for several weeks writes to his
paper In very complimentary terms of
Charlos F Murphy the new loader of Tam-
many and says he managed the campaign
with more ability than Dick Croker ever did
db the sploudld plurality for Mr Coler in
Manhattan will attest Mr Murphy esti-
mated nnd stuck to it to tho last that Groat
r New York would glvo Coler over 112uu0
plurality and the returns show that it is
nearly 120000 The democrats did bolter
In Greater New York than tho most sangulno
expected The upStato returns wore as
toundlng to democrats and republicans alike
They never dreamed of coming to the city
with such a tremendous majority It is
nearly as great as that given to McKlnley In
19Q0 Of course the Odell State machine
got in its work in groat shape and notwith-
standing all the frauds committed Odella
plurality Is reduced over 90000 and a demo-
cratic gain of nearly luO000
Major Stealy gives volco to what seems
to b tho vory general impression among
thoughtful politicians in tho East when ho
says thoro is not much doubt now that
New York will go democratic In 1004 All
the party wants is a good strong jnan Tho
democrats up tho State wore opposed to Hill
and did not llko the coal plank In 1004
thgrq will be no Hill or coal plank On tho
whole tho result in New York or the country
Is not discouraging to democrats as it gives
us a good fighting chance In 1001
Tho republicans only held their own to-
day in rockribbed republican States like
Pennsylvania and Ohio They lost in New
York New Jersey Connecticut and Mary-
land In the next congress they will not do
anything with the trusts or the tariff that
will benefit the people nnd in 1904 they will
be swiped out and ttio personal popularity
of their prosident will not save them
HYSTERIA AND TESTIMONY
What a pity it is thnt scientists have not
discovered a mental Xray machine With
such an Instrument we could read the
thoughts of prisoners on trial and ot wit
nefeses for the defonse and guilt or Inno-
cence would bo absolutely established
Irving Baeheller tho novelist wroto a
story a few yearn ago entitled The Master
of Silence In which ho described a man
who had attained perfection In tho art of
mind reading He could discover tho Ho
behind tho spokon word with unerring no
curacy What a trcasuro lie would be In
tho Mollneux trial where tho conflicting
testimony shows that thero Is a vast net
fvork ot falso swearing
Scientific dreaming aside a now feature
was Introduced In tho celebrated case Thurs-
day and tho contrary views advanced by
the opposing attorneys present Interesting
possibilities of hysteria and testimony
Tho dofenso Introduced a witiKjas Mrs
Hannah Stephenson who testified that not
Mollneux but Harry Cornish mailed the
poison package She said sho had seen him
In lino at tho postofflce and ldontlflod him
In he court room Sho had not testified at
tho first trial
By crossexamination tho attorneys for tho
Stato sought to show that Mrs Stephenson
bad suffered from attacks of nervous pros-
tration during tho las two years and that
she had read carofully tho accounts of the
former trial Their purposo was to disoredlt
her testimony by Implying that tjhe is suf-
fering from hysteria nnd that her impres-
sions pf the incident sho described are hallu
clnationE
Tho view Is only theoretical of course
but It is quite plausible It Is altogether
possible that a nervous person given to hys-
teria might become so interested in follow
Ipg the case as to be mentally unbalanced
t least as to that particular event and to
Imagine a participation or observation that
bad no existence
Of course the dlrect ootimoay of a wit
w not positively proved to bo lnsano
jtt ild dtw be setaside bj mero Iheotizins
but thla circumstance reveals tho perploxinfj
possibilities which boBot criminal prosecu-
tion In the abEonco of direct evidence of
guilt with ability and woalth on tho Bldo ot
tho dofonso tho Stato rnroly succeeds In se-
curing a conviction

TINKLING
CYMBALS
Somo two weeks ago President Roosevelt
hnd Issued nn ordor which forbade Federal
offlco holders contributing to pnrty cam-
paign funds Thla action of the prosldont
excited a great donl of vory caustlo com-
ment at tho time Jn vlow of tho fact that
nearly ovory ono of tho cabinot officers were
out on tho stump making campaign speeches
Dut thoro Is worse ground still for criti-
cism
A few days before tho election the presi-
dent wroto to Chairman Dunn ot the re-
publican Stato committee of New York ex-
pressing his deep interest in the success of
tho republican ticket in that State and In
addition to his good wishes enclosed a sub
stantial contribution to the campaign fund
The president also talked very freely with
President J Hampton Moore of the National
League of Republican clubs of Philadelphia
about two weeks ago and In the course of
his conversation remarked that the defeat
of Judge Pennypacker in Pennsylvania would
be a National calamity Judge Pennypack
er was the regular republican candidate for
governor of Pennsylvania the machine can-
didate and was opposed by Mr Pattison
who was supported by thousands of the bet-
ter republicans in Pennsylvania In spite of
the fact that he is a democrat
The Charleston News and Courier after
reciting the facts referred to abovo says
The point that wc would like to make is that
the presidents order forbidding the assessment
of republican office holders for the benefit of re-
publican candidate is to be regarded as sound-
ing bras and tinkling cymbals in comparison with
the presidents action in contributing to the re-
publican campaign funds and his official declara-
tions in behalf of republican candidates He
could hardly expect any of the smaller office-
holders to be dismissed from the public service
for political activity without condemning him-
self
ine point miio by the News and Courier
is a strong ono but roally after all it Is but
a Roosevelt characteristic Ho has done fow
things which ordinary analysis would not
rrovo to bo more sounding brass and tink
Icg cymbals
Thb tin workers recently agreed to accept
considerably reduced wages in making tin for use
in articles exported Iron and Steel the organ
of the metal interests sees in this result hope
for the future It looks for decreased wages in
many lines of industry Especially as to tin
it says When trade at home is dull or in-
sufficient to keep all the mills and men engaged
American product can be produced at a sufficient-
ly low cost to enable it to enter neutral markets
abroad in competition with the Welsh tin plate
This says the Chicago Chronicle sounds like a
hint of a permanent reduction in wages
Acn du

Tub Washington Times is enthusiastic for
moral sanitation and an appropriation to purify
the National capital Under the headtfne Our
Slum Problem it declares t No City can be

However beautiful A municipality may have been
made architecturally or otherwise the presence
of these physical and moral disease spots remains
a blot on Twentieth century city life
It is to he hoped that those Illinois excursion-
ists will have this Houston Weather all along
their route
A Lonhom sartorial magazine having remarked
that the trousers of today will not only bo
the trousers of the next fifty years but
the trousers of civilisation for all time the
Louisville CourierJournal comments Most of
us would be satisfied if the trousers of today
would hold their shape long enough to be the
trousers of next month
The democrats in New York are charging
fraud Things do look a little suspicious and
thats a fact
The Minneapolis Journal speaking of the great
power of Morgan and of his followers says
Wc have little doubt that both he and his satel-
lites have often had to think twice before they
couldrecollect whether Morgan was nominal
president of the United States so sincerely do
they consider him its real ruler
Harris county Texas is not the only place

NOTE AND COMMENT
Forty years ago says the Savannah News It
was not an uncommon thing to find ministers of
he gospel protesting vefcementjy against the In
troduction of Instrumental m usis Into tHe chur chea
V
over which they presided They regarded organ
cornets violins nnd simlllar Instruments pretty
much in the light of Inventions of tho evil otto
and felt that tho ptesenca of such things in the
church would be n profanation of the sanctuary
The niusio of the human voice they declared
uas Ihe kind and the only kind with which to
worship That fpirit of intolerance however
has pretty well passed away and nearly all min-
isters nowadays sccognixc the value of firstclass
music in tho church service It sounds like
harking back many years therefore when wc
hear that Rev J W McGnrvey pastor of a
church of laoo communicants in the city of Louis-
ville Ky has resigned his charge and left the
organization because the congregation Insisted
on placing an otgan in the church

The year drawing to a close will be a record
breaker in the number and aggregate value of
buildings erected in Birmingham said a con-
tractor yesterday
Among some of the pretentious structures are
the Woodward the Southern club the Hillman
hospital and the medical college The steel
frame building being erected by the Title Guaran-
tee Loan and Trust company is now well under
way The workmen are above the second story
and the ninth story will be ready for the roof be
for Christmas
Tho Athletic club which will be both elegant
and picturesque will be completed some time
nevt spring
Work on the First National bonk building will
be started within the next few weeks This
sky scraper will be the largest and costliest struc-
ture in IJrmingliom It will be twelve stories
high and will stand too feet on Second avenue
and 140 nel on Twentieth street
Many large buildings are being planned for
next 3 ear The Masonic temple and the Labor
tempi will probably be under way by next fall

deal more than half the size of the Vty of

There are a lot of old bar room bums black and
white in Austin that ought to be granted a
leave of absence and given a chance to work
aameote else what they really deserve is to be
laid across an empty whisky barrel and belted
with a stil All they desire is to loaf around
from bar room to bar room eat free lunches and
fill their tausage covers full enough i free
booze to insure five hours of drunken sleep
They are just tbout as useful as the two buttons
on a gentleman s coat tail though net half so
ornamental Austin Statesman
The enforcement of the poll tax amendment
will probably put a lot of that kind of cattle out
of business

Our esteened contemporary the Memphis
Scimitar has gone into conniption fits because
it is proposed to invite President Roosevelt to
Memptis to share in the entertainment of General
Luke Wright on his return from the Philippines
The Chattanooga News has no desire to med-
dle in any matter that concerns Memphis solely
but this is a cjucstion that concerns the whole
South Wc do not understand how an invita
tion to the president to become the guest of a
Southern city can be twisted into an indorsement
of his Booker Washington incident Mr Roose-
velt knows and every well informed person in
the country knows that the South does not in-
dorse his action in inviting Booker Washington
to dine with him at the White House Every
person of mature age and common understanding
is aware that this invitation to the president to
visit Memphis is not an approval ot his chum
minesa with Booker Washington The invita-
tion is extended in respect to the office of presi-
dent not as a mark of any particular personal
esteem to Mr Roosevelt Just as well say that
the invitation indorses republicanism as to say
that it indorses social equality We regret that
a newspaper printed in the largest city of the
South should give emphasis to such hurtful sen-
timent Chattanooga News
The Memphis paper is acting very foolish to
say the least

There is no question that John Garner will be
elected to congress from the Fifteenth Texas dis-
trict Mr Garner Is the regular democratic
nominee in the Fifteenth Hon Ned Green has
just returned from the district and reports that
it is a sure victory for J C Scott republican
nominee opposing Garner The people of Texas
will remember how Colonel Green was chairman
of the republican executive committee of Texas
in 1896 and how he predicted that McKinley
ould get the State and the result The State
was democratic by the usual brutal majority and
a few thrown in Always when Colonel Green
counts the situation one way take it for granted
that it will go the other and you Will have it

That Frex Pass Jfti Sl
From the Schenectady N Y Dally Union
Ode of the most unjust of the many evil of
the present day is that which appears to obtain
with regard to what are styled free passes
Heres a case in point and it happers every day
in the Jear
A society decides to give an entertainment or
concert to raise needed funds In order to get
the people out the affair which nine times in ten
i altogether too mediocre to pa s muster any-
where it is necessary to utilize the press other-
wise no one outside of the immediate friends of
the participants would know anything about the
thing
Now how do they go about It Do they
walk up to the newspaper office and tuy space
in the paper in a manner similar to that which
would obtain if they were doing business with a
merchant iii need of whose wares they stood
sadly Not a bit of it my countrymen I No
sireel Theyve a handier way than that
They go to the newspaper office take up
half an hour of the editors time with a recital
of the alleged glories of their show and then ask
him to boom it along for them Being a pnblic
spirited individual who is in the business alto-
gether by his physicians orders in order to
save him from an early grave from ennui the
glad faced editor assents spends another halt
hour in the preparation of an article that is pub-
lic spirited even if it does leave the soul of the
hapless writer in peril of the place where the
delinquent subscriber ceaseth not to smoke and
the wicked are never at rest and then he sends
it out to the composing room There it is set-
up in type by printers who must be paid by
the editor the proof sheet read by the proof-
reader who also receives some little remem-
brance of the largess of the luckless editor at
intermittent intervals and the matter run in
the paper the type being handled many times by
men whose time costs the editor money right
along while the white paper used also is not to
be procured in exchange for a pleasant look
The advertisement thus prepared is read by the
thousands of readers of the paper who duly ac-
cept the word of the editor who generally is a
man of marked probity and truthfulness barring
these little affairs and make up their minds to
attend the seance consenting therefor to be
separated from their money The result is that
thanks to the cooperation of the editor without
whom the occasion would partake of the quali
that satan takes a delight in football If this
is truethe old boy is a tougher individual than
we gave him credit for Possibly he leansthat
way because of the fact that it is played on a
gridiron
