pany for accepting The
Tribune's suggestion of
a icfeieiicp to nibltiation of the dlf
ferencos in opinion between it and its
union employes lelutive to the mean
ing of tho written agieement upon
which the last stieet car stilke an as
settled.
The issue was pecullaily one for ad
judication In this manner. While the
agieement Is in black and white, ono
phiase in It is Inteipieted in one way
by the company and In another way
by the men. That is the phiase "length
of service." Docs this mean that sen
ioiity is to rlte from the time or tho
beginning of the last stilke, as the
company claims; or does It antedate
the strike, as the men claim, and as
ihey allege that they were led to be
lleNe Nhen .they accepted it? Neither
the company nor the union is qunlifled
to decide' this point without blai. As
well might plaintiff and defendant In
court seiNe as jurois in trial of their
ow n case.
The icfetpnce to aibltiatlon, coupled
with wiittPii agieement to abide the
arbllial eidict, is a notable- victoiy of
reason. We haNo little doubt that the
altPinathe would haNp been a strike;
pei haps not a big stilke, in the num
ber of men Invohed, but ceitalnly a
pioNoking and annojlng one, that could
baldly haNe failed to deNelop much
bitterness and tiouble. Enough of the
old mrn weie In a mood of des-peratlon

but It contributes nothing to immedi

lar more pointed and piactlcal Avas
Ihe speech of the ex-Tammany mayor
alty candidate, Kdwarrt M, Shepard,
He hoisted without apologies the old
fashioned standard of "tariff reform,"
diubbcd the Hepubllcnn paity for Its
alleged subservience to monopolies and
trusts, and urged his fclloiv Dcmociats
to sink all other differences In a unlllcd
attack on the protective tariff. "iVe arc
Inclined to ngiee with Mr. Shcptird In
thinking that If the Dcmociacv hns
any chance to cany the coming con
gressional rlocllons It Is along this
lino; but we differ from his estimate
as to the dimensions of that chance,
Tho plain people, and especially the
people of modeiato moans, nnIio earn
their livelihood by dully loll, uhaie tho
belief of Mr. Shepard that government
should not be unfnhlv Influenced by
great corporations and that tnrlffs not
needed for the pioteetlon of homo In
dustry and labor and existing as nlds
to the ovcrchaiglng of home consumeis
should be 1 educed. We think that the
Hepubllcnn pnrty is piotty thoroughly
permeated by this belief.
"Where they take issue with Mr.
Shepnrd Is In the opinion that a Demo
cratic congress would afford public re
lief. The Domociatlc party's lccord as
a tariff lefoimer Is asnlnst It. Tho
Domociatlc party's cure for high tariff
ills has been pioved In sad experience
to bo woise than tho disease. Its idea
of reform Is to cut and slush and an hen
last it had Its chance to try its hand,
It -pictly nearly killed Its patient. A
quack doctor's alluilng promises cense
to bo alluring after his victim has been
malpiactlccd almost Into the giave.
No, "tailff reform" on a Demociatic
prescription blank will not command
the confidence of the country. It may
suffice to bilng together temporal ily
Democi.its lately in discord, but its
pfllcacy will end there. Some other
pai amount issue will be needed to
swing a majority aoIp.

The Latimer Case.
OVERS OP mystery certainly
ha-e ample scope for the play
ot their imaginations in the
I-atlmer case. A ANcalthy couple
in middle life letiio one night seemingly
on the best of teim. In the small
bouts of the morning the ANife is awak
ened by curious sounds and the intui
tive &ense of nn unnatuial presence.
She awakens her husband. Just then
a masked man, a buiglar, appears,
tbeio Is a stiuggle, shots are flied and
the husband sinks, mortally ANounded.
Tne intruder escapes, no one knows
whne or how, and the police find no
due.
Such is the A'etslon of the Avlfe. An
other stoiy is cm lent but not suppos
ed by substantial evidence. It is to
the effpet that Latimer was shot dui
Ing a quaii-el with a man whose pres
ence In the Latimer homestead Avas
not pievlously unknown to Mis. Lati
mer. Tho only basis yet disclosed for
this theoiy Is the fact that Mis. Lati
mer and her husband had had differ
ences, that she once intimated to a avo
man friend that she Avas tied to a man
she did not love, and this nccmdlng
to her own testimony at the coi oner's
Inquest Unit she had been indiscreet
upon certain occasions, such as ex
changing notes with a man next door,
dining with a man of AVhom her hus
band was jealous, and once putting to
bed during her husband's absence a
male caller nnIio had imbibed not ANisoly
but too much. While the infeicnce
fiom these admissions is not to the.
ei edit of Mis. Latimer's wifehood, It
should In faliness be said that no pioof
has been pioduced that her Indiscre
tions weie Nvoise than the foolishness
of mary wealthy and discontented avo
men an ho have nothing to do but to
pass the liksonie time as best they
may. The fact that she and her hus
band did not get along together as a
model touplo should supplies no ivar
iimt for believing, NVlthout coiroborat
ing clicumstance, that she was un
fnilhful, and AVithout this established
theie can be no ciedenee for the theory
that Latimer Nvas murdered by an ad
mit er or his Avlfe.
Tne buiglary story Booms plauslblo
and doubtless would have been accept
ed AAlthout question hud It not been
disclosed that Latimer, Avhilo in the
hospital, repeatedly spoke to his nut so
und physicians in a way to disci edit it,
The purpott of Latimer's talk was that
he suspected some ono Avhom his wife
knew and an tinted that poison Avutched,
It should be added thut this person, a
ft lend of tho family, has established
that ho Avas at honio ani jn nS own
bed, at the time of tho Latimer trugey,
If hit. alibi holds, the attempt to con
nect the shooting with a domestic scan
dal avIII "bo seilously intei feted with,
L'Mdently his testimony Imptessed tho
coronet's jury, for its vet diet ct edits
tho shooting to sonio unknown person.
Tho strange featiuo of the affair, as
noted In'the Inquest flndlng, Is tho fail
ureof tho hospital nuthotitles to take or
somebody to demuud un ante-mortem
statement. Latimer lay for houis with
Inlet rajs of consciousness, yot ho was
permitted to pass nway without an In
f,ulty ns to his knowledge touching his
shooting. It looks as thuugh this
irvjlleenco wus mote than actldoiital,
And on such ti foundation of suspicion,
surmise, mystery and tomuutlc t'onjee
tute, ANlth tho detective agencies appar
ently wholly at sea, It is not strange
that tho case utttacta widespread at
tention. It has all the elements which
most btiongly appeul to popular euil-oslty.
As usual in such mutters, tho burden
in the Stioug-Yohc scandal falls on ihn
clplea of Jefferion, the sovereign rights male thing's family,
tarlrf question, tho Rciuibllcnn party has
) not In icccnt J ears honestly submitted a
thiglo Important Issue to the nbltrumcnt
ot the ballot or on en to the .lugmont ot
the members ot Its oiNn paity. It has
wiltlen ambiguous ptatfoims nnd forced
Its policies thiough congress ntlct elec
tion, lit ISOtl It used a piomlfo of Internation
al bimetallism to conical Its.iTnl puiota
to fasten the gold stnudatd on tho coilii
tty. In 1000 It pinetlced the same de
ception on Impel lallsm and on tho trust
question. Dven within u month It hns
i of used to nimounco its puiposo In ic
gaid to the Philippines, and has put oft
until after Non ember the passttgo of thn
suboldy bill and th'o tonsldeintlon of tho
tiust question. Tlio Icadots of tho party
show their lack of Nllal fnlth In the doe
ti Inn of solr-goveiumont by their unwil
lingness to tako the people or tho court
tiy, or cNen tho votcis ot their own par
ty, Into their confidence. Tho hope of
tho Democratic paity lies in bilnglng this
fnct to tho knowledge of those nnIio hiivo
been in tho linblt of A-otlng the Repub
lican ticket. Ono nilstociatlc paity In
thu countiy is cnoiiKh. Dcmociatlo suc
cess must bo won, not by Imitating tho
Republican paity, but by exposing It
not by milking tho Dcmociatlo paity or
Istoctallc. but by convincing tho people
that It Is really dpmocrntlo and can bo
trusted to defend dcmociatlo Ideas and
to ctilt!ato democratic Ideals.
As theio aio many In tho Republican
party avIio Iiuno adhcicd to the party not
ANlthstaiitllng tho chango that tho organ
ization has undergone, so tboro mo somo
ANho call themseh'cs Democtats avIio
have themselves undoigono a chango
an men nan aiicnntca them fiom tho Dcm
ociatlo paity or fiom nnv putty worthy
of the name. To nttempt to patch up
nn oppaient harmony between those avIio
aio not in sympathy Avlth dcmociatlo
purposes Is not only a waste of time, but
ANould ptovo dlsastious. The men ANho
desetted tho paity In ISOi! may bo divided
Into tAVo classes. Those avIio left because
they imdcistood the Issue ptesentcd, and
tboe nnIio loft because they did not un
dei stand the leal natuie of tho contest.
I'ntll the fotmcr aie completely changed
In their bjmpathles they cannot ictutn

latter anIH be leeonclled to the piity
when they themselves become awaie of
the teal chaiacter of the life and death
stiugslc noNV being waged between plu
tociacy and democracy.
A Plea for Character.
The Dcmociatlo paity must have a con
tt oiling put pose, unchanged by Alctoiy or
defeat: It must stand for that put pose
at all times nnd uNeryNvheie, unmoved
bythicats and disaster nnd unlnlluenred
by ptomlso ot temporal y gain. It must
haAc a character, for chaiacter is as
essential in a paity as It is In an Indiv
idual. Lven if it deslies to do so our
pnity couldnot compete with the Repub
lican patty In the use of money In cam
paigns ot In tho deception ot coetclon
ot Aotois, because latgp campaign funds
can only be seem eel in letuin for the
piomle of fiwoilltem and our people ate
not In a position to coerce. Our party
must haNe piinelplcs and pioclalm them;
It must stand by them and defend them,
leljlng upon Its fnlth in the lighteoiis
ness of those piinelplcs and upon its
faith In the Intelligence nnd patilotism
of tho people. We cannot tell an hat is
sues we may haNe to meet; we can only
dcteimlne to meet them in a democratic
splilt, to apply to them domociatlc piln

lu JS12 the pai amount issue was tnilff
lefoim and tho Demociatic paitv boldly
asscited Its demand for a tailff for leNC
nue only. It fought the campaign and it
Avon, lint its majoiitv ANas so naiiow that
a feNV senators, disloyal to tho paity on
this sublect, defeated tho Aerdlct of the
people lendeied at the polls. But the
falluio of the patty to do all that it
promised anouUI not haA'e been so dls
astious but for tho fnct that tho Wilson

tpfoimcis, lind to bear tho sins of a Re
publican financial sNsteni Avhich AAas siip
poited bv our administration against tho
piotest or an ovei nn helming majority or
tlio Aoters of the paitA'. Tho defeat ot
1S14 aviis moip disastrous than any that
the paitv has CNpoiienced since and it
was due to the fact that tho administra
tion deserted the peoplo on tho money
question. In lSDil the money question had
foigcd to tho front, made paramount not
by the action or the majority or tho Dem
ociatic party, but by the attempt of a
minoiltv of the pattv to aid the Republi
can paity to chain tho countiy to nn r,p
pi eclating dollar. Without abandoning
Its position on the tariff question tho
party met this issue nnd took tho skip of
tho people. In splto of the deseitlon of
many foimeily conspicuous In its coun
cils tho Democratic party polled a
million more noWs than it had cNer
polled befoie, nnd AAonld ha'0 an on but
for tho Indefensible methods of the Re

polled tho consldeiatlop of another ques

consequences that our party lightfully

The Tariff Heform Slogan.
DdAvard M. Shepard, the last Tam
many cundldate for mayor of New
Yoik, thus set foith his view of the
paramount Issue:
No one can read what Is today written,
or listen to what Is said In eA'cry pait of
tho United States, AVithout percchlng
thnt the dominant question Is ANhether
or not there shull be continued to a num
ber of great and enotmously rich Inter
ests the special pilvileges which the Re
publican tnilff confers upon them."
If the ideals or political lire and na
tional development for which the Repub
lican administration stands shall suc
ceed, tho Interests of the middle classes
and ANagp earner) will, in independence
and enduring ANeiraio, be subotdlnated to
the great monopolistic interests which the
Republican party has built up, and which
the Republican paity ANould make still
more dominant.
The American people, are today thor
oughly ready to deprive tho great mon
opolistic interests ol the country ot the
special tariff priN lieges which they enjoy.
Upon the reduction or abolition of duties
upon niticles anIioso manufacture or pio
ductlon Is today effectually monopolized,
the American people are OAerwhelmlngly
agieed. Nothing but a blind fear of any
change whnteA-er, or a false! charge that
tho Democratic patty is inimical to prop
erty, or nn ineleA'.int Issue of mllitaiy
glory or dishonor, can prevent in Novem
ber a Aerdlct at the polls which shall
speak that sentiment. Such a measure of
refoim is dangerous to no legitimate or
wholesome Interest. It is truly conscr
AatlNe, for it avIII1 help to prevent the
veiy possible catastiophp of a passion
ate and reckless treatment of our eeon
omio problems in that future, Avhen there
shall press upon us tho hard times which
must sometime come and which Repub
lican measures are hastening on Such n
refoim would picA-cnt tho glaring nnd
extenslNe outrage of tho sales In great
monopolies of American-mado products to
fotelgneis nt prices far less than thoso
at NVhlch American customers may buy
them. If the Democratic p.iny in select
ing its Isup, defer, as it is bound to do,
to the popular will, It has no choice. Tho
issue of tariff icform Is irreNocably at
tho forefiont.
The tnilft Is declaicd by high authoiity,
and truly, to bo ihe "mother of trusts."
If tho progeny do not all belong to the
tailff, we can, at least, deal effectvoly
and consecutively Avith the gigantic in
