uo ■ .ial ill will against the dissenters, for

Mr. Williams was lutau littod for command

C ill— ml Henry Waiterson is striving Bligbt
ily These days to attune 'Tlie Ixuisville Coor
ler-Joarnar to the tenij»o of "The Commoner.'"
The eetooel paid a visit to Lincoln the other
day to pet some necessary practice with the
tuning fork. But home again in Louisville lie
cannot keep the key. Said "The rourier-Jour
unl" an Saturday:
Upon a Platform of Imposture, largely con
structed out of timbers Ptolen from Mr. Bryan s
hack yard, the Republican party lias set a Man
of-Si raw very portly and pleasing 1 Man-or-
Straw — and has said to the voters?. "Behold in
"William Howard Taft the counterfeit present
iment of Theodore Roosevelt" *"
Yet Mr. Bryan in Lincoln has been vehe
mently declaring that the planks of the Re
publican platform were not stolen from his
back yard. Indeed, he refuses to recognize
them either as stolen goods or as poods worth
stealing. On this important question of lar
ceny and the identification of stolen property
••The Commoner" and "The Courier-Journal"
should at least try to "pet together."
TEE I WCTtO V PL ASK.
Mr. Bryan has not taken Hie pains to read up
on the statutes regarding the issue of injunc
tions or be would not have made the statement
that the injunction plank in the Republican
platform meant the continuance of the law un
changed. "If the convent ion had been frank." he
says, "in the statement of its position it would
"have quoted the present statute and said that It
"was in favor of enforcing the law just as It is."
As the law is how there is not any federal stat
ute prescribing procedure in such cases. The
Republican platform calls for the pasting of
such a statute as will establish a uniform prac
tice and will restrict the Issue of Injunctions
without notice to the part} enjoined to cases
of exceptional urgency.
The letter of a correspondent printed In The
Tribune of yesterday explains in detail the
present state of the law upon Injunctions and
shows clearly enough why there is need of
legislation regulating the issue of the writ. The
original statute of 17m:; provided that no writ
of injunction should be granted without pre
vious notice to the person enjoined, but that
provision was dropped out of the revised stat
utes, leaving it to the Supreme Court to estab
lish rules of procedure in such cases. The Su
preme Court laid down the rule that no 'special
injunction" should issue without due notice, but
the distinction between special and common in
junctions was not made clear, with the result
that the practice of different circuits has varied,
some giving notice before granting injunctions
and others not. and there has been a tendency
of federal courts to conform to the laws of the
various states where they sat. giving notice
where the state law required it and otherwise
not.
The Republican platform eniis for the estab
lishment by statute of a uniform practice of
glring notice before the issue of an injunction
unless the delay incident to the granting of BUCn
notice would result in irreparable damage to
the petitioner. Such a statute would work ■
desirable reform in judicial procedure, for it is
in accordance with the principles of justice tlvit
notice and a hearing should precede the issue
of an Injunction wherever possible and unless
the delay required for them would defeat the
purpose of the injunction. Such a law
would prevent the abuse of the writ, which
proceeds from its issue upon ex ]<ac\c state
ments, while at the same time it would not im
pair its effectiveness fa prevent Irreparable
damage. It would be fair alike to rich and
poor, to labor organizations and to employers,
not favoring any interest above any other. The
Republican plank is not, as Mr. Bryan s:iys. a
fraud and ;i sham, pretending tr» do something
while it really does nothing, but it proposes a
definite measure of reform in the use of In
junctions and one which will commend itself to
the public sense of justice. It strikes ;it the
real possibility of abuse in the present unreg
ulated practice In their use — namely, the
power of temporarily interfering with the riehts
or liberties of the parties enjoined on a mere
f.r part' Statement, While it leaves the writ
wit!: all It* prompt effectiveness In extraordi
nary situations. It does nor. as Mr. Bryan
iharges, leave the situation unchanged, nor
does it po to the revolutionary extent that he
mid his ally. Mr. Gouipers, as a mere matter of
political opposition, loudly demand that it
should i>y creating a privileged class exempt
from Injqnctions.
Mr. Bryan and Mr. (Jompers would forbid
tiie use of the Injunction writ to protect
pfOpertf and property riphts in labor dispute?.
They are not concerned over a general reform
in the use of this remedy, endinc its possible
abu«-e without regard to whom that abuse af
f^cts They would leave the procedure as it Is,
except where labor is involved, and there they
would deny the courts the authority to issue
injunctions. The difference between the Repub
lican and the Democratic position on this is^ut
is this: The Republicans would end the abuse
of the writ wherever it occurs; the I>emoerats
would leave its abuse unremedied in all the
infinite variety of cases to whi'h the remedy is
applied save only in labor c;ises. and In labor
cases they would wipe out both its use and its
abuse at once. The one ]«.sitk>n is justice, and
the other is demagogy.
TOY ZEPPELiyB YETr AIRSHIP.
The aeronautic demonstrations which have
been resumed over Lake Constance will de
servedly attract much attention. The airship
now on trial there is the third built in accord
ance with Count yon Zeppelin's designs. it
belongs to the Familiar class in which buoyancy
is secured by gas. but has several original
features. The reservoir is divided Into com
partments to minimize the effect of puncture,
and is stretched upon ■ ritrid metal frame. This
dirigible balloon is much the largest In the
world, surpassing in stse La Patrie, con
structed for the French army; Wellmnn'R
America and the one with which Yon Zep
pelin himself conducted last year's operations.
Finally, it has engines capable of developing
US') horsepower, or 110 more than those with
which the work of 3007 was performed.
So far as ease of ascent and safely in do-
M-eiit are concerned, the German inventor evi
dently has little more to learn. His airship —
under favorable conditions, j.t least — stays
right side up and obeys Its helm handsomely.
Whether it will exhibit greater speed than its
predecessor is a question yet to be answensj.
There can be no doubt that Yon ZeppeJl]
travelled at a rate which exceeded thirty n i ♦*
.-in boar last summer, and he claimed a maxi
mum velocity of thirty-seven, if. as be hopes
may be the case, the new airship should attain
a epoed of forty nix miles an hour, th* achieve-

on this is. however, ineviinhle. for atmospheric
resistance Increases out of ail proportion to
any increase of speed and the capacity of the
new engines to equal expectation is yet to be
demonstrated.
Another of Yon Zeppelin*! expectations is
that he Will now W :iMe to remain aloft con
tinuously for more tLan four days. The propo
sition is not unreasonable, and some dny will
doubtless bo realized. Hitherto, however, no
aeronaut has stayed up longer than thirty-six:
bonn. and expectations regarding the imme
diate future may with propriety be curbed by
a knowledge of past experience. The "Wiir
temburger" computes the "radius of action" of
this particular airship at eleven hundred and
thirty miles. Now. the distance which such a
vehicle can travel depends on two things — fuel
supply and buoyancy. From the size of the
gasolene tanks and the actual consumption for
five or ten miles it should be easy to determine
bow far a dirigible balloon can go without
obtaining fresh fuel. No such simple esti
mate In regard to buoyancy seems to be feas
ible. An aeronaut may know precisely how
much ballast he has to throw over and may
think he knows the rate at which his gas bag
leaks: but whether this second item in his
calculation will remain uniform for four suc
cessive days is not to be ascertained without
an endurance test.
"DARK HORSES" AXD FAVORTTS'S.
There have occasionally been complaints
that our system of nominations for the Presi
dency resulted in the success of "dark horses
over popular favorites and that comparatively
obscure men. whom few had seriously thought
Of for high office, secured the nomination
through compromise or bargain or as the re
sult of a deadlock between the leading candi
dates, That sort of thing may have happened
;i few times in our history, though talk about
it has been much exaggerated.
On the present occasion precisely the oppo
site has occurred. To continue the popular
simile, the favorite has won in a canter. That
n.an has been nominated who had for some
time past been universally recognized as the
foremost candidate and as the unquestionable
choice of the overwhelming majority of the
party and of the people of the nation, and who,
moreover, was conceded to be through pro
longed, varied and successful administrative
experience by far the best fitted for the place.
It is to be hoped, therefore, tliat those who
have hitherto carped against "dark horse" can
didates will not now complain because nil the
-dark horses" were left in the paddock and the
favorite won the easy victory to which hp was
entitled on his "form" and merits.
THE "VERVE" OP MVLAI HAFIG.
Mulai llafig. the would-be usurper of the
throne of Morocco, has been winning some vic
tories over the troops of the rightful Buitan and
getting himself proclaimed as Sultan at various
plm-es by various authorities, and now sends a
circular letter to the members of the diplomatic
corps '" Ihilt delectable country asking them to
recognize him as the pole and lawful sovereign.
At the same time he has been saying to his
followers and to the Moroccans generally that
be purposes t<> "drive out the impure foreign
ers." to "throw the French into the sea." to
"annihilate the French" and to "cut off the in
n'dcls" beads,** and it Is well known that he be
gan his insurgent career with the avowed in
tention of organizing a "holy war" against all
foreigners and—in case he succeeded in win.
ning the Shereofian throne — of repudiating all
treaties and other foreign obligations which his
predecessors had made.
In view of such amiable purposes on his part
his request for recognition would seem to indi
cate that Mulai Hang carries his "nerve" with
him wherever he goes, from Atlas to the Riff,
and that that indispensable portion of his eth
ical make-up is in robust health and athletic
training. It will be interesting to observe the
reply which the powers will make to a request
which being interpreted substantially reads:
••Coiue. recognize me as Sultan in order that I
"may have your authority for driving you out
•of the country and repudiating all engagements
"with you I"
BOSTOJi SCHOOL PENSIONS.
Another significant move toward the British
socialistic variety of paternalism is now being
made by the city of Boston. The Massachusetts
Legislature, at the solicitation of Bostonlans,
has passed an act providing for the pensioning
of school teachers; the City Council has ac
cepted It, and the Mayor's signature is a fore
gone conclusion. The most interesting feature
of this measure is its mandatory- provision that
the city shall raise the necessary funds by an
annual tax of five cents upon every thousand
dollars of assessed valuation. This method of
financing contrasts sharply with that adopted
from German models by most Civil Service re
tirement and insurance funds in the Cnited
States: it is a frank copy of the much con
demned British plan to eke from taxpayers a
neat percentage for various special classes,
such as the aged, the unemployed and the dis
abled. Its adoption will surprise everybody
who knows that the new state pension supple
ments a school teachers" retirement fund to
which Boston teachers contribute voluntarily,
and from which they may eventually draw $180
a year, the same sum provided by the new law.
Why. it will he asked, is a questionable scheme
added to one which satisfies most teachers and
has no tnint of paternalism about it?
"The Boston Transcript" • explains that the
new pension "was not instituted primarily to
"henefit the teachers, but rather to improve the.
"public schools." By empowering the school
committee to retire any teacher "mentally or
••physically Incapacitated from further efficient
"service." the law enables Boston to disencumber
bet schools of "an extraordinarily large percent
"age of age.] and more or less inefficient teach
"ers." When we consider, though, the drift of
su.-h legislation, which i< clearly toward the
pensioning of all state an*' city employes at pub
lic expense, the Boston experiment looks like a
blunder. If Siso a year is enough to rpfire n
teacher on without Imposing too great a hard
ship, the pension fund could be maintained under
all ordinary circumstances by contributions from
teachers" salaries.
If these salaries nre really too low, they should
be raised to a point where the recipients can,
without a pinch, insure themselves against dis
ability. It may be retorted that the public pays
for the pensions in the end, anyhow, so why
riot give them directly Instead of indirectly? But
there is « vital distinction between the two sys
tems. When the <ity pays a teacher a good
salary and then compels her t<» Insure herself,
tli- Implication is simply that every citizen must
provide for his own future, and that a living
wage properly includes the cost of doing this.
But when salary and pension are given Inde
pendently, the former Is implicitly remuneration,
and the latter a favor conferred upon a privi
leged claps. This divorce Is fraught with in-
Justice and leads away from democracy. Boston
might bWter have adopted the German system,
even if a large special appropriation should
prove necessary in order to retire her army of
aged and incompetent teachers. For a principle
is :it stake.

THE TALK OF THE DAT.
In recently published reports of the fair which
took place at the Horn* of the Daughters of Jacob
mention was made of the chief usher, a "lad" aged
mr, years, and of the "girls" who sold candy and
lemonade, although they were only 103 and 107
years old. Some doubt was expressed as to the
ages of these Inmates of the borne. Albert Kru
grr, the superintendent. snid that there was no
ixacgcration and gave these figures from his last
report: "These are the aeos of our wards:
From sixty-three to sixty-live, three women; stxty
flve to seventy, three men and eleven women; sev
enty to seventy-five, eleven men and fourteen
women; seventy-five to eighty, twelve men and

the German actress, a Dresden paper says that
"she was beautiful, had an imposing presence, a
musical voice, posseted all the qualities of a great
actress and had a right arm of perfect form." The
writer adds that when Professor Schilling was
modelling the gigantic statue of Germanla which
stands at Xlederwald on the Rhine he sought for
months for a model for the right arm of th« figure,
and hundreds of women werfe anxious to p<ise. for
the right hand was to bear the imperial crown of
Germany. "One evening."* so goes the story,
•'Schilling went to tho royal theatre to fee Haver
land as 'Thusnelda,' and wh*n. in on* scene, she
raipf-d her bared right arm over her head the
sculptor rushed from his box to the stage and
said to the actress: "You must give ma your right
arm— lt must hold on high the German crown.'
Consent was easily obtained, and so long as Ger

Anna Haverland will be remembered."

dummy is the size of an average soldier. By a
special mechanical apparatus it is made to walk,
with the guidance of a wire cajile, as though on
sentinel duty, in a circle In one end of a hall. Th°
mechanism is such as to give the dummy the same
motion ;ip would be experienced by the avernsfH
soldier in walking. About the waist of the flgme
are strapped the various belts, one at a time, which
nre being tested. Each Is filled with the regulation
number of rounds of service cartridges, the, prtn
cipnl test boing made with the sharp-nose bullet,
to determine how long It will take for these to
wiar through the pockets of the belts.

THE DEMAND FOR HUGHES AGAIN.
POLITICIANS AND PL*BT,IC.
From THe T'tlca Press.
That the politicians are not fond of him is no
news, but it is equally certain that there are few
men more popular with the people in this state.
"NOT A MAN TO SHIRK A DUTY."
From The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
That Governor Hughes may be reluctant to serve
another term is quite believable. )r>ut ho is not a
man to shirk a duty, and the argument that he Is
needed to complete the magnificent work only fairly
begun in the last two years must have tremendous
force with one of his high standards and unselfish
devotion to the, public good.
The possible hostility of a certain group of poli
ticians is of comparatively little consequence; the
main thing Is what the people want.
"PLAIN AND UNAVOIDABLE."
From The Boston Advertiser.
Governor Hughes declined to allow himself to be
considered as a candidate, for Vice- President. That
was his right, although there Is nothing in the
position to justify the noteworthy repugnance of
statesmen to accepting It. But Governor Hughes
might fairly claim that his duty to nil country lay
elsewhere, If It ho his purpose to accept a lhnomU
nut inn as Governor. For any man who lias studied
it." situation In New York may well bo convinced
thHt thw duty of Hughes to serve for otic more
term Ib plain and unavoidable. It Is quite possible
that "Then he accepted the nomination Mr Hughes
had determined that he would serv* but the on><
term. It Is quite probable that his one term has
given him such a distaste for politics that lie would
be glad to retire to private life forever, and that
he ha» had enough of politics to satisfy him for
the rest of his lifetime. Hut even those considera
tions do not justify Governor Hughes in refusing*
the nomination if it should be offered to him.
"THE PEOPLE WANT HIM."
From The Watertown Times.
Now that the Republican National Convention is a
matter of history and Governor Hughes cornea out
of th« contest with dignity and honor, In spite of
the action of the few bitter partisans on the New
York delegation who did thMr utmost to discredit
him in the convention, the queßtion of a renomma
1 ion of the Governor again cornea up fur consider
ation. Certain it is thnt tha people who have bo
loyally supported him In his magnificent light for
a higher standard of political life and for the cor
rection of the wrongs under which the people have
;>een suffering so long will not be satisfied unless
the Governor consents to continue the work so well
Itegun. It is tru<- that the men whose policies lit
hHS opposed would be glad to know that the ad
ministration of Governor Hughes was to end with
the present term. Bui if the politicians do not
want mm th« people do. He is too valuable a pub
lic, servant and too strong a moral leader to be.
allowed to return to private life now that he has
so conclusively proven his worth.

JRUSSIAX COMPOSER DEAD.
Rimsky-Korsdkoff Expires at Coun
try Horne — Career.
St. Petersburg, .Tune 22.— The death of Pro wot
Rimsky-Korsakoff. which occurred at his country
estate. has caused deep regret In the musical world.
In St. Petersburg. The newspapers subordinate
their usual political discussions to long; and ap
preciative articles on -the composer.
M. Rimsky-Korsakoff came from a family whose
members furnished noted commanders for the Rus
sian navy for two centuries. He wrote his first
symphony while he was a naval cadet. His opera,
"Pikovtianka," presented at the Imperial Opera In
1573. was the first of a long series, which included,
"Sadko," one of the favorites of the Russian stage,
and "Snegouruchka." which is now meeting con
siderable success In Paris. The librettos of M.
Rimsky-Korsakoff usually were taken from Rus
sian folklore. His last work, entitled "Legends of
Kiteth," was presented last season at Moscow. He
continued writing- until recently, in spite of his
sufferings from asthma. He was sixty-four years
old.

NOISE FROM STREETCARS.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A country church was once holding a Thanks-
Riving service, each person present mentioning a
special cause for gratitude. One man stated that
he. had been led to feel particularly thankful for
the lubricating oil In the Joints of his body. While
this naturally caused a titter, there is n good deal
to be paid for lubricating oil in the physical and
moral machinery of the world. Just .now New
Yorkers nre wishing that the streetcars would
niak« a freer uso of lubricating oil. Along Ins
lines of some of our street railways there are costly
hotels, hotel apartments and apartment houses.
Of course, at best, these routes are noisy, but in
the present condition of the rolling stock. for In
stance, In Seventh and other avenues. in Broad
way and certain cross streets, the racket is al
most unendurable. The cars go bouncing and
crashing along like sprlnglesa wagons laden with
loose Iron Junk and bottles and driven over cob
blestones.
When, added to the din. there is the shrill squeak
of unotled axles, the effect is such as would t...
tolerated In no other city than New York. Th*»
mitigation of this sort of torment on Madison
avenue since the Introduction of Improved cars
shows how much unnecessary suffering is endure,!
through the negligence of the great civic corpora
tions. It Is very well to plead -want of funds.
Every one known the resources Of the stockhold
ers, and they should either be forced to provide
tolerable tracks and cars or to give the |oh to
those who will. At least they can afford hjartrat
in oil L. N. H.
