tience.

Mrs. Nation what she had to say re

rision. Mrs. Nation submitted mildly
and promised to leave the city imme
diately, remarking that “the town
was tilled to overflowing with heli
broth.” A crowd of several hundred

the court’s order she is practically
barred from visiting’ Kansas City.
Mrs. Nation pleaded that she wished
to go to Liberty, Mo., within a few
days, and ashed if she would be per
mitted to pass through Kansas City
en route.
Judge MeAtiloy answered in the af
firmative, but warned Mrs. Nation not
to stop off here.

THE RULE OF BOSS PLATT.
Gndden Finding of the Km York Re
publican King*. Rrlgn Baa
Conic to Pain.
—
For so long a time had Thomas
Collier Platt ruled without influential
opposition in the counsels of the re
publican party in New York city and
ptate that for many years past he
has been accepted by all save a few
thousand independents, with repub
lican affiliations or leanings or long
ings, as the autocratic ruler of the
party during the remainder of his
natural life. The independents have
once or twice started a revolt against
his dominance, but without other re
sults than to draw upon themselves
still larger measures of his scorn
and hatred. They have been constant
in bitter censure of him and have
held him up to ridicule as one of
small intellect and narrow intelli
gence, performing political antics be
fore the country and high heaven.
But all this censure and this ridicule
has been uniformly—until now—
drowned in the louder chorus of
adulation by the faithful.
The truth is that Thomas Collier
Platt’s intellect is not small and his
intelligence is not narrow. The most
detractive thing that can be said of
him in his presumptuous role of
statesman is that he has a mercantile
mind, with a fondness for and grasp
of details, together with an ignorance
of or contempt for great principles
of state. Ill health defrauded him
of the higher education and while
still a youth he took up with a mer
cantile life. He succeeded, and had
soon money enough to enter the
banking business. At the same time
he conducted lumber interests of his
own in Michigan, but not to the neg
lect of his political interests.
As a budding politician it was in
his favor that his home was in Os
wego—in that part of New York
state where Roscoe Conkling needed
a trusty friend and ally. He was
elected in 1872 and reelected in 1874
to congress. Mr. Conkling was then
serving his first term in the senate.
In Washington the two men formed
an alliance, offensive and defensive,
according to the secret terms of
which they were to endeavor to con
trol the federal patronage for New
York, and also the state patronage.
All things went smoothly with them
till about 1879, when their enemies
made an attempt to take control of
the republican state convention and
set up a new order of proceeding.
Mr. Platt was a delegate in that con
vention. in which it was for a day
undecided on which side the majority
was. but so skillful was his manage
ment that he brought the majority
over to him and was himself made
the chairman of the convention.
Conkling was indorsed, the organiza
tion perpetuated in his and Platt’s
hands, and the next winter the legis
lature reelected Conkling to the sen
ate. Tn 18S1 Platt’s election to the
senate was dictated by his friend and
partner in politics. But then arose
the quarrel between them and Presi
dent Garfield over the patronage, and,
being worsted in that quarrel, they
both resigned from the senate.
The partnership between the tw*o
men ended when they failed in their
endeavors at Albany to be returned
to the seats they had haughtily va
cated.
Mr. Conklin# thenceforward es
chewed polities, but Mr. Platt, con
tinued to play the game. His talent
for details enabled him soon to get
control of the organization of his
party, and, exercising that control,
he managed to bring to his support
many of the great corporations of
the state and all the corrupt, influ
ences of his own party and many of
the corrupt, influences of the oppos
ing party in New York city. Then he
became the acknowledged “boss” of
the New York republicans and one
of less than half a dozen bosses of
the republican party of the entire
country. In 181*7 he had himself
elected to the United States senate.
Since that time he has been a terror
nnd a burden to Mr. McKinley and
his administration.
And now the supposed impossible
has suddenly come to pass. Mr.
Platt is defied at both Washington
and Albany, nnd the whole country
resounds with the announcement that
the rule of “Boss” Platt is ended. But
—“the boss is dead; long live the
boss”—some other politician of near
ly the same stamp will arise to fill
the place from which he has been
so suddenly hurled. One cannot, con
ceive of the republican party with
out its boss in the Empire state! —
Chicago Chronicle.
-An unreconstructed editor wants
to know if President McKinley did
not once say that forcible annexation
would be criminal aggression. Guess
he did, but our contemporary takes too
serious a view of the matter. That was
intended to “go” only as a piece of
phrase-making. Notice the rhetorical
swing, and rhetoric is two-thirds of
the battle with the present adminis
tration.—Cincinnati Enquirer.
-It touches Mark Hanna in a ten
der spot to be told that he spent $100,

TAXING OURSELVES.
1'aself Interrat of the Protectionist*
In the Poor Foreigner Is Some
thing; Wonderful,
A most philanthropic policy is this
oi ours—this taxing ourselves for the
benefit of the foreigner. A time was
once when the philanthropic charac
ter of this policy could not be dem
onstrated, but that time is long since
past. Example after example can now
be marshaled to prove our unselfish
interest in the poor foreigner who
will consent to use our goods. To il
lustrate this, we will take the iron
industry. We take this only because
there is a movement on foot among
the more liberal republicans to open
it, up to foreign competition because
it is in a trust. A well-known con
tractor of Xew York, Charles Ihullen
by name, obtained a contract from
| the Kussian government to furnish
steel rails for a portion of the great
Trans-Siberian railroad. He sought
prices from the Federal Steel com
pany, which gave him $85 per ton,
with freight charges to be added.
This price, so far as Mr. Thullen was
concerned, was prohibitive. He went
to the Carnegie Steel company, but
could not get the price shaved. In
despair he went to England and sub
let his contract to an English firm.
That firm sent to the United States
for prices and obtained the phenom
enal figures of $24 per ton delivered in
Russia. The deal was closed and the
rails sold by the English firm to Mr.
Thullen at $35 per ton delivered in
Russia. Mr. Thullen was thus en
abled to go on with his contract after
being compelled to pay a British firm
a bonus of $11 per ton because he was
so unfortunate as to be an American
citizen.
The question suggests itself to
many ordinary minds, how can these
steel companies sell to a foreigner
steel rails $11 cheaper than to an
American and deliver them in Russia
to boot? There must be something
“rotten in the state of Denmark,”
when the home market is taxed to
such an extent in order that the for
eigner may buy at his own price. Or,
is it philanthropy? We are, however,
not alone in this work of relieving the
foreigner. Germany, which has adopt
ed the American idea of tariff, is en
gaged to a great extent in the same
charitable business.
Herr Krupp and Baron von Stamm
have, under the German tariff laws, a
monopoly of the armor plate indus
try. They hold up that government
for $580 per ton, which is $100 more
than the steel companies of the Unit
ed States are able to get out of Uncle
Samuel. And to make the hold-up
more apparent it, appears that Herr
Krupp and Mr. Harvy receive a roy
alty of $35.50 per ton on the Amer
ican manufactured plate. This juicy
monopoly allows the German armor
plate trust to “compete in the mar
kets of the world.” Not Jones, in
this case, but the German nation
pays the freight. On account of this
extortion the German reichstag pro
poses either to remove the tariff or
construct government works, as the
difference would amount to the enor
mous sum of $15,000,000 in the con
struction of the proposed new navy
of the empire.
In the face of many such demon
strations of the workings of a tariff
law that is out of date, the great,
majority of the republican “states
men” are dead against the Babcock
bill to remove the tariff from iron and
steel products. Wonderful, indeed,
are the workings of the human mind.
