l'y what right does the chief or the
fire department violate the ordinance
agnlnst fast driving?
The West Is in the Saddle.
Pays a St. Louis correspondent: "The
wny In which Now York, hitherto al
ways such a dominant factor In the
conventions of both parties, has dropped
out of sight Is almost pitiful, as It stnnd.i
'as a monument to one man's selfishness
and incompetency. Texas and Arkansas
and Indian territory occupy more atten
tion In the minds of the public clustered
In the lobbies of the hotels than does
New York. Four years ago at Minne
apolis men asked one another what New
York wanted and what the New York
delegation would do. Today no one asks,
and no one cares. Mr. I'latt can play
with the other children If he will be a
good boy, or he can take his dishes and
go home. It Is all the same."
While the present occultatlon of Piatt
Is largely the result of i'latt's own fool
hardiness, yet the dwarllnir of the Um
pire state's political Importance Is not
wholly Piatt's handiwork, The fact is
that It was Inevitable no matter who
had charge of the New York organiza
tion. The scepter of political empire la
passing westward. The seat of author
ity In future national conventions of
the Republican party will be nearer
Illinois than New York and It will prob
ably never again occur, at least not
within the lifetime of men now living,
that a delegation from a single state
lying adjacent to the Atlantic coast will
be able to dominate the Republican
party by virtue of the plea that the
electoral vote of Its state is Jndispens
able to party success."
One of the consequences of tills
growth of the west Into political impor
tance 'will be that' the 'Influence of'job
" bers and trader at national conven
tions will In future diminish. The sys
tematic subjection of the mass to the
boss as it is known in th" boss-ridden
cast, especially In New York, where
Mr. Piatt has been accustomed to look
upon the Republican party as a kind of
personal property, lifts not yet becomo
a feature of western polities, and la not
likely to for at least one generation to
come. The voters of the west are, in
the main, too rugged and virile, too
much accustomed to making their own
way in life, to submit with complacency
to the yoke of bossism as that yoke Is
familiar to eastern people. Wo have
Been in this nomination canvass how
easily the western masses, when onco
stirred to a purpose, can brush aside
the apparatus of the professional poli
ticians and assert their own sovereign
ty. The rise of such an element to a
controlling position In national polities
means for some time at least a purer
and more wholesome state of things.
It means that the voice of the people
will be more likely In the future than
in the past to command recognition in
the national nominating conventions.
The Tribune's campaign for a sepa
rate ward for wqmen in the central po
lice station has at lust borne fruit. In
Mr. Keller the movement has a' good
j.,- xiouncllmanlc champion, who can be re
lhUied upon to stand by it until the sepa-
jfate cells are realities.
' Another Big Exposition.
" One of the last acts of congress before
adjournment was to pass the bill author
izing the holding pf a Trans-Mississippi
and International exposition at Oma
ha in 1R98. It provides that all articles
Imported from foreign countries for ex
hibition therein shall be admitted freo
i. nhrt thwt there shall be exhibited at the
ivT'NxpoHlrton by the United States, from
18 executive departments, the Smith-.
f nnlan Institution, the United States
Ttuh prtminlsHlnn nnrl tbn TCnHiinnl Hfil.
. scum, "such articles and material as
Illustrate the function and adminlstra
. tlve faculty of the government In time
of peace and Its resources as a war
. roAter, tending to demonstrate the nu
. . lure of our Intuitions and their adap
; J tatlons to the wants of the people, The
secretary of the treasury Is directed to
. - cause a suitable building; or-buildings
- to be erected at the exposition for the
rnment exhibits, to cost $50,000.,"
announced by those who have the
n hand that twenty-four states
i -ami territories have already riven as
surance that 'they, will be represented
I by suitable exhibits, the purpose belns
j to. make a sliowlnj of the resources
I and progress of the great empire lying
i betw'eon the Father of Waters and the
Pacific coast. It is promised that the
exposition will surpass in magnitude J
and interest that recently held at At
lanta, and if the western states shall
cordially cu-operatJ to this cnl the
promise will certainly be fulfilled. There
is a special element of value In this en
terprise at this particular time when
between the west find the east there ex
ists in reference to the coinage Issue
considerable misunderstanding.- If the
Omaha exhibition shall be anything
like a representative exposition of
western pot-sibllities It will no doubt do
much to correct a state of confused
opinion which obtains aiiiong many
easterners with reference to the kind of
citizens who inhabit the newly-conquered
territory Intended to be brought
within the exhibition's scope. For this I
reason, if for no other, the undertaking
deserves to be encouraged.
There is also the additional reason
that ail such expositions are excellent
stimulants to honorable progress In tne
development of our varied commerce
and equally excellent means of cement
ing" lutersectlonal friendships and pro
moting that unity of civic purposes
which is necessary to the welfare of this
diversified republic. We think we can
safely promise in Pennsylvania's behalf
a practical manifestation of this com
monwealth's Interest and sympathy.
It seems to be the belief at St. Louis
that Hon. Garrett Hobart, of New Jer
sey, Is the destined winner for vlce
prc?ldertt. Mr. Hobart is an able am a
loyal Hi-publican whoso advancement
would occasion general gratification.
But before It is definitely assumed that
he will be JIcKlnley's running mate It
might be well to keep an eye on the
Hastings boom.
Looking Toward the Orient.
Some Instructive Information has been
embodied In the report which the ways
and means committee recently made on
the menace to American manufacturers
by the threatened Invasion of the cheap
products of Oriental labor. The report
does not reflect the scoffing opinion of
the free trade press that no apprehen
sion Is justifiable in this direction. On
the contrary, It broadly Intimates thut
the danger from this source is likely
soon to become serious, and that it can
only be met and averted by u consider
able elevation of' the tariff duties on
Oriental Imports.
Taking Japan as the Oilental country
from whose industries competition Is
most to be feared, the report points out
that while wages in Japan are almost
incredibly low, ranging among factory
operatives from D to 20 cents a day, tho
hours of work average twelve a day and
the quality of the work performed Is fall
If not good. Already 61 cotton mills
with over 600,000 spindles have been es
tablished In Japan toy European capi
talists masking behind figurehead na
tive companies; and since the European
manufacturer can go into Japan with
gold cnpllal and practically double It
by an exchange Into sliver, afterward
reaping the benefit of the low cost of
Japanese labor, the committee is moved
to predict that "the rapid Introduction
of machinery into Japan will, within a
few years, make Japanese factory pro
ducts, especially fine cottons, silks, and
other nitliies In which tho labor cost
here Is an Important element In produc
tion, a more serious competitor In our
markets than the products of Great
Britain, Franco and Germany have
been, simply for the reason that Japan
ese wages are lower than European
wages, and Japanese labor likely soon
to become us effective with machinery
us European labor is."
The committee reports that It knows
no remedy for this probable coming
competition except the imposition of
duties on competing Imports equivalent
to the dl:Terenee of cost and distribu
tion. Bimetalllsts, however, argue that
the rehabilitation of silver would go
far to solve the problem by doubling
the value of the Japanese wage and
thus lessening the chance of tho inun
dation of our market by Japanese goods
Eelling, even after the payment of a high
tariff, at prices with which our own
producers could not by reason of high
wages compete. The report In a tenta
tive way gives some recognition to this
argument when, In considering the pro
babilities of enlisting the manufactur
ing countries of Europe in an interna
tional agreement for a fixed coinage
ratio between gold and silver, It points
out that the leading European coun
tries, especially Great Britain, must be
the first to feel the competition of the
renuscent Orient.
From these premises the manifest
conclusion Is that whatever may be the
ultimate disposition of the stiver issue,
the question of vital Immediate concern
in this country is a restoration of tho
tariff system to a protective basis. By
means of a high tariff we can secure our
markets against Oriental cheap-labor
competition no matter what our money
standard may be. The blow of that
competition, in such a contingency,
would fall almost wholly on Europe,
and perhaps ultimately be the means of
bringing the gold-standard nations of
that hitherto haughty continent to our
door with an appeal for us to help them
establish what we formerly have vain
ly asked them to help us establish,
namely, international bimetallism.
The base ball enthusiasts. of Scranton
should not conclude too soon that this
city will never be properly represented
on the professional diamond. The pres
ent managers of the local club have en
countered just enough discouragement
to challenge the Scranton pluck In them
Into a fight to the finish ; and we prer
diet that before the season is over the
croakers will be singing a different tune.
Referring to the reported comments
of Sir. Cleveland on Major McKinley's
candidacy, the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette interprets them as really com
plimentary. "Were they not equlva-
Jon.,
it asks, "to saying that in Presi
Cleveland's opinion McKlnley
dent
would not be a president who would
enter Into any deals with a home or for
eign bond syndicate whereby millions
of dollars would be unnecessarily pre
sented to a few individuals, no matter
what the indirect returns might be in
pointers on real estate, stocks or otlur
things, to say nothing about any direct
returns? Could they rot be considered
tantamount to an expression of Presi
dent Cleveland's belief that Major Mc
Klnley Is r.ot a man who, as president,
would add to his personal savings by
ualng government vessels for duck
hunting purposes? Was it not equiva
lent to saying he did not believe Major
McKlnley to be a man who would con
tinue a quasi-legal connection with any
corporations during his term as presi
dent, nor one who would be open to the
suspicion of belr.g the recipient of cor
porate favors by making tho attorney
generalship a place for talent notori
ously representative of the corporations
und trusts, thereby making the anti
trust laws a dead letter?" Were Mr.
Cleveland a sensitive man, he would by
this time probably be sorry he spoke.
Having completed his interesting let
ters of Alaskan travel, Mr. J. E. Rich
mond will take a rest for a few weeks
before beginning In the Saturday Tri
bune, his series of letters on "From the
Pacific to the Atlantic Through the
Queen's Dominions."
If Mr. Cleveland is disgusted with
public life he has no one but himself to
blame for the disappointments which
public life ha3 brought to him. At the
time lie enhred it no other living man
had brighter prospects or greater op
portunlttta. Suppose Cameron should be nomi
nated at Chicago?
AMERICA AHEAD.
W. E. Curds In Chicago Record.
In a recent number of Cunv.nt I.ltevn.
turo an English writer asserts that "tho
greatest corporation on earth is the Lon
don and Northwestern Railway com
pany of England, with Its capital of $5!.
tnUOUO, a revenue of an hour, .l.oUJ
enirhies anil '10,000 employes and repairs
tl,rtt cost ?i;o,O00 a month." The North
western Railway company is no doubt a
Kittar.tlc corporation for a little country
like England and worth bragging about,
but we have got a bigger one hero In the
fulled S;ati3 that might absorb it very
easily. The Pennsylvania rp.llroad, for ex
ample, has a capiiul of Sw7, j,WJ ar.'l li,
4;:o mlks of track, which traverse thir
teen states. It has 3,70(5 locomotives,
which consume IM.M Ions of coal a day
and mi'ko runti mual to the distance
around the Kloba eveiy two luurs. It bus
3,9.Ti pasenser cais, lW,tK) frelKht cars, T.M
Pullman cars and 211 other curs for con
struction and other purivoses, miiklnp a
totnl of l.lS.nUt curs, which mako a jour
ney equal to the circumference of the
earth In every eight minutes. These loco
motives and cars, If placed upon a s'.mjle
track would reavh' from New York to Cil
cdo, or ten times the distance between
Philadelphia and New York. The rails of
the Pennsylvania railroad. If laid end to
end, would encircle the globe nnd overUp
about 4.UM1 miles. The total annual reve
nue of the road is $Uri,000,00' equal to $:i"-',-Mli

whereupon Mr. Carlisle told a. story. Soma
years auo there was a big banquet In New

was "Pig Iron".'Kelley. Mr. Ridley said
he had been reared in a community which
