A Consistent Attitude.
TUB ItKPOUTIOD sarcasm ot
Jlr. Lloyd concerning- the ap
parent Instability and ca-
prlciousnes.- of the heads of
the big coal companies Jlmls a sympa
thetic response among many who are
not partisans of Mr. Lloyd's side of tho
controversy. At no time has the atti
tude of those magnates been such as
might be expected of men large enough
to occupy such large pusltlons. John
Mitchell can teach all of them valuable
points In good generalship.
We think that the Instability and evi
dent friction among the.-e men com
prise the best answer possible to the
nssertlon that titer Is a coal trust. Jf
there were a coal trust, it would have
huh head find one policy. That head
might or might not be shrewd and that
policy might or might, not be enlight
ened and wise, but In any event there
would bo uniformity where now every
Interest seems to be striking out blind
ly for itself, like allies In a panic.
The one cleat advantage which might
follow complete-lei-ogtilllon of Mr. Mit
chell's union Is the necessity It would
Involvo ot an eiiually complete nnltl
calloti of employing Interests in the coal
trade. With both sUUs so thoroughly
organized that a war between them
would mean the auulhilallnu of both,
the Incentive to pfuu-t mi u basis of
mutual respect would be powerful. In
tiuio this will come about, in some form
or other. All the Indications arc now
pointing to It.
In the meantime, the position ot the
Indlvldual operators Is the only posi
tion among ihoo which have beeis as
sumed on tho operating side which is
consistent and logical, They fought

"flayor" or "Recorder.''
Orrt KSTKKMKD contemporary,
the Truth, is earnestly labor
ing to have restored the an
cient and dignified' title ot
mayor to the civic bead of our muni
cipal government. We cannot see that
It matters very much one way or an
other. Mayor is an appellation of re
spectable, historical, if not of classical
lineage. We Introduced the word, as we
Introduced the otlh-j which It implies,
from Kngland. Knglnnd borrowed the
otllcc and its functions from Prance.
It is very possible that the world itself
is Indigenous to France, although phil
ological antiquaries may trace it
further back, so far back, In
deed, that no trace can be found ot Its
original meaning or application. We do
know, however, that when France was
founding u mouarchlal dynasty after
the death of Altlla, "Mayor of the Pal
ace." was synonymous with all that was
cruel, brutal or vicious and
'degrading to human nature, human
freedom, and human dignity. 'the
Mayor of the Palace was a functionary
In those days of internecine strife and
savage retaliation who became for a
time supreme until in the ordinary
course lie was murdered and his rival
or assassin temporarily stepped into his
place. When a stable and heridltary
dynasty became established under
Pepin, the Mayor of the Palace became
ji court functionary, or, more probably,
liaraSlte, and In the course of time was
transformed Into a public or municipal
functionary.
AVe give this brief and Imperfect sur
vey of the olllce and Its origin, not be
cause II can coucet n a single person
Interested In the progress of modern
municipal affairs, but because it has
been adduced fruiueutly as one of the
most repulsive features of the ripper
bill that "recorder" was established
for "aiaur." We do not know why
"recorder" was so substituted, nor that
there was any good or suillclent reason
for the exchange. No doubt tlier- was
some purpose In It, good, bad or indif
ferent. Tlie mayoral dignity is primar
ily magisterial and ceremonial. The re
coulers of the thu-e second-class, cities
of this slate have no magisterial, and
scarcely any ceremonial functions to
perform. Their olllce is mainly execu
tive, appointive and supervisory.
The ripper bill, It may be anticipated,
will undergo some changes during Hie
next legislative session. We do not
think that there Is any deep seated
public sentiment In favor of the res
toration of "mayor" for "recorder" as
an abstract of nomenclature If the fun
dameulal provisions which have
given anil arc giving such Irrefragable
satisfaction am allowed to remain as
they are, with such modlllcatlotii, as
time and experience have approved,
Hecorder Is a good descriptive, denio-crath-
term. It answers every purpose.

of the name are the character and fit

IT IS one of the curious nmt unhappy traits In human nature that loads
men to be least thankful when they have the best and greatest reasons
for being so. Seasons of 'peace and prosperity among a people arc the
Very limes when selfishness and extravagance, hcartlessness, Injustice,
and the still grosser Vices and tho crimes Hprlnglrtg out of luxury and Idle
ness, attain their most noxious growth. Some of the saddest and darkest
chapters In human history are those recounting this fact.
In brief, so generally has It been tho rule that national degeneracy, decay,
and ruin have followed close upon the rootsteps ot great national prosperity
that the thoughtful historian may well regard It almost as a. fixed principle
In tho philosophy of human events, while to tho student ot current history
the genuine lover of his country such a period of material wealth and na
tional ijdvancenienL as we now enjoy may well give rise to grave apprehen
sions of coming evil and general decadence. The United States at tho present
time Is undoubtedly In the full, tide of the proudest, happiest, and most pros
perous period In all Its- history.
Of all times In our history, therefore, It Is well Just now that we should
be reminded by lite voice of ofllelal authority of the true source ot our pros
perity and till obligations we are under to render a Just and heartfelt trib
ute of praise and gratitude to Him to whom wo owe It all. If this observ
ance Is not purely perfunctory; -If It leads us, as It should, to a deeper and
more abiding sense ot the value and necessity of pure, honest, and righteous
living as the basis tor true national greatness, then, Indeed, may we regard
our present prosperity, not as a precursor of evil, but only as the beginning
ot still better and happier things In the days to come. Leslie's Weekly.
yield a by-product weighing nine and
one-half pounds, and commercially as
well as scientifically, fur more valuable
than the butter Itseir. It Is calculated
that the full saving possible to be ef
fected in the United States as a result
ot the perfecting of the long-sought
process ot powdering milk will exceed
In value the entire wheat crop.
Of course, In this process, all the fatty
substances in milk are lost. The pro
duct coinea out In form and appearance
not unlike the -whiter grades of corn
meal. It Is soluble and high In nutri
tive value. It also has dietetic useful
ness commending it strongly to physi
cians. To make a perfect milk from
this milk powder would necessitate the
addition of fata similar to the butter
fats, but tills would probably not bother
the chemists much, especially after
their success la the manufacture ot
oloo.

So long as old General Gome:: lives
and gives his support to the adminis
tration in Cuba, there will be little dan
ger of revolution. The way he squelch
ed the cigarmuker's strike by threaten
ing to take up arms against the strik
ers on the ground that they were revo
lutionists threatening the safety of the
government is an Interesting object les
son in Latin-American character. Al
though these Cuban bourgeoisie have
no sense of humor and are, therefore,
easily wrought upon by demagogues
and fanatics, they have a wholesome
fear of a stern military figure like old
Gomez. This quaint survival of the
old-time soldier of fortune may have
his eccentricities und, from an Anglo
Saxon standpoint, ids short-comings,
but it Is very evident that he fills a val
uable no less than a. picturesque and
dramatic place In the Cuban scheme
ot things. May his shadaw never grow
less.

TARIFF REVISION
NOT NECESSARY.
Editor of The Tribune
Sir: A significant but very attractive
feature of the viilue to oar Industries ot
tho Itcpublican system of protection Is
tbu fact that under protection oar fac
tories nre so stimulated towards increased
production that larger importation of
manufacturing materials Is necessary.
A tabulation just issued by the treas
ury bureau of statistics shows that In tlio
nine months ending September SO, lno-j,
manufacturers' materials comprised $a:'.",
000,001) of our total Imports of $TO-',000.000,
or -10.39 per cent.
In the last full low tariff year, 1!.!), the
Import of manufacturers' materials was
only JISD.OOO.OOO, or :I5.10 per cent, of tho
total Imports. Tho net result ot the com
parison is 11.-0 per cent. In favor of pro
tection. In fact. It Is much more than
that, as the per cent, has to be figured
In 11102 on a much largo aggregate of to
tal Importations.
The benefit to protected manufacturers
of this, at first thought enemy to pro
tection, increased Importations, has boon
constant since- tho protective tariff was
adopted on July 21, 3S!7.
The yearly figures of the Import of
manufacturers' materials, and Its per
cenr. of thn total Imports, are subjoined,
leckonlng millions only:

The Increased per coin, of total Imports
was about ' per cent, for 1902 over 1KKJ,
but the increase In valuo of manufactur
ers' materials tnported was $142,(h"i0,00iJ, or
nearly 75 per cent. This is highly signifi
cant In view ot the fact that from 1S90
to 1902, the inereuso in all other Impor
tations was only i! per cent.
These figures prove one thing and that
thn most Important, namely, that IJepuli
llcan protection keeps out the goods wo
can and do proilucu and make, and only
lets In what wo do not produce or make
at all, or only hi quantities insufficient
for our needs.
This result means the conservatUm of
our home market, and constant work at
much better than Ktiropean wages, for
the li,7."K),000 of our peoplo who depend on
manufacturing employment for tho sup
port of themselves and those dependent
on them.
