President Hoosevolt.'.s action in ordeiing Attorney
(eueral Knot to bring suit again-t the Norlliei n
Securities Company for the purpo-e of preventing a
threatened consolidation of the railway system of the
Northwest may properly be oinmeiule d.
The next development in the situation now ctcated
1 should be an honest mid vigorous pioseetltiou of llii-
suit. There uitw be no fla-h in the pan. The Pn-sl- j
dent's Influence, utanltilly ectled, will compel his!
Attorney General to u-e the full te-oiirccs of (he law i
dejiarfmeni.
l'opttlar eouildeuce in l't evident ltooe ell's sin
eel ily of pin pose leads to a hope that the l'edcral
suit against the Northern Securities Company may
ptove effective. The people ot the aiious Slates
Whose welfate i menaced by the proposed railroad
monopoly are earnestly praying that the President
will not fail them The legal machinery uf ihe States
in fjueslion is nor considered cimal to the task of suc
cessfully contending against interstate commoiee re
strictions. The Kcderal Government, it is felt, must
conduct this conflict in the people's behalf. There
fore, the new aspect put upon the case by President
Rcosevelt s order to Attorney General Ktio is emi
neutly satisfactory.
The President will make a tremendous gain in the
affection and conlideuce of the Ameiican people if.
through his timely assistance, the threatened com
bination of tin? Northwestern railway sj.stems ;s pre
vented, lie will lose proportionately in the event of
failure due to half-heaited prosecution or a mal'e-l.e-lieve
grand-stand play which siuill leae the combine
triumphant in the end. He must see to it that his
Attorney General brings into action and keps busy
all the force at his command In a light of the '.nien
can Government against an unamerican trust.

Threats made by Municipal Aseinb!ymen under ie-
f. dlctment for bribery, to the effect that it they are
punished they will see to it that other Sluulcipal As
wmhlymcn are putjlshi'd with them, should greatly en-
h ourage the local oflicers of the law to the tullesi per
formance of duly.
No Influence for the shielding of the guilt- iu the
bribery cases can be allowed to prevail for a miscar
riage of justice. Prompt trial of Indicted persons
tihould be had. Kvery shred of convicting evidence
Khould be submitted iu open couit. If the proof of
crime has been secured, warranting indictment and
f nrro.st. this proof must be offered as a basis for the
punishment of the criminals.
Ipecially should the administrator of justice take
'.1tIsfaetiou in the fact now being developed that
panic is beginning to possess the souls of certain In-
- dieted SUtnicipal Assemblymen and that these persons
J, are threatening to "pencil" on their rellow-As-erubly-i.
men in order that they shall not stand alone iu the
pillory.
. This should stimulate the pio-eculing forces to the
Mipretuest' exertion. The Grand Jury investigation of
the blibery cases was begun with a view to tne pun
ishment of the guilty in those cases (ind the suppres
sion of municipal corruption. The desired linish
should be made sure.
The Grand Jury has performed Us duty In return
ing Indictments iu every case where the evidence
justified indictment. The prosecuting otllcers should
now perforin their duty in the courts. The conviction
of even one bribe-giver or bribe-laker seems to con
tain a bright promise of the securing of evidence war
ranting the Indictment, arrest, frial and conviction of
ofhers. This Is a consummation devoutly to be wished.
A vigorous and Inflexible piosceution is now distinctly
in order.

Upon the shoulders of Chief of l'olice Kiely and
Chief of Detectives Desmond will rest a serious le
sponsibility on the occasion of the visit to St. Louis of
Prince Henry of Prussia, the brother of the Kmpeior
of Germany.
There is. undeniably, less of the anarchist element
in St. Louis than in any other American city of equal
size. Ilut this fact does not by any meaus justify a
relaxed vigilance ou the part of the police authorities.
Chiefs Kiely and Desmond undoubtedly realize the
gravity of the task with which they will soon be con
fronted. They"viII be the official guaidhius of the
Prince during his brief stay In their city. St. Louis's
toyal guest and the distinguished party constituting
his retinue must of necessity depend upon the zealous
watchfulness of Kiely and Desmond for their safety
while here. A keen and unrelaxing vigilante must be
maintained. Extraordinary exertion to this (iid is im
perative.
not that of what may best be done iu tin- interest of
the Filipinos, but rather what should be done for
American welfate. t
This lias been tin- ptesiiiou of The licpuhlic situe
the Philippine problem was litst confronted. If we
dispose of that problem on a basis antagonistic to
established American principles and in violation of
the American Constitution, we. and not the people of
the Philippines, will suffer most giievotislv.
Thete is little occasion for American :ippiohensIon
concerning the S.ooo.oou .Malays of the Philippine
Archipelago.
There is the graet occasion for Ametie.iu appte-
heusiou of e!l to this Government and people it we
icpudiaio anil abandon the Ameiican creed iu deal
ing with those .Malays.
IOep this fact elearlv In mind and unf.iiliugly ion
sidcr the Philippine piestiou ftoni the standpoint, of
American interests. V arc in the greatest danger
in the event of wiongdoing lowaid the l'ilipiuos. We
must deal faitly with that people, not from solicitude
for tliem. but for the light's sake and for the preser
vation of Ameiican principle.

Some of the gentlemen who wisli to preserv" the
oM Exposition building as a permanent private enter
pt.Ise object to the bilhnow before the Slnnh ipal As
sembly; their criticism being th.yf the present discus
sion of the bill prejudices their interests at the ap
proaching sale. Their interests cannot possibly be
prejudiced. Outside capital would not in any case
compete, since most lawyers know that the title by
whicli the building occupies the site is worthless. Oil
the other hand, if these gentlemen are soliciting sub
scriptions with which to bid for and retain the prop
erty, they should tell their friends that a successful
bid would buy an instant lawsuit. The bill before the
Municipal Assembly cannot, pending the sale, hurt
anybody. The truth exists without depending on that
measure.

The wisdom of the 'World's I'alr Company In ar
ranging an aitship contest as a feature of the Ex
position in 1003 is being shown every day. Inter
est in the contest has spread over the entire world.
In every country inventors are at work on plans and
machines. As au advertisement of the Fair the con
test has been most valuable. As a prospective attrac
tion, the aerial contest will draw hundreds of thou
sands to St. Louis during the life of the Exposition.

COMPARATIVE ELECTION ItETUItNS.
If Republicans are really looking for reasons to
account for Sir. Horton's defeat in the Twelftn Con
gressional District at the last election, let them ex
amine the tables published in yesterday's Republic io
gardiug the steady decline in Congressman Hartholdfs
majorities iu the Tenth District.
For the sake of the argument let talk of frauds and
Republican treachery be excluded. There never has
leen a time when the South Side Congressman has
said that he suffeied the loss of a single vote under
the operation of the so-called Neshit law. He litis al
ways confined 1 is invectives to the vote In the Twelfth
Distilct.
In ISIHi, out of a total vote of ::4.878. Sir. Bartlioldt
received a majority of 10,14s. Two years later, though
an off year, there was a decrease of only 1,101 in the
total vole, but a decrease of i),VSi In his majotity.
which was "only ;.'--'".. In liXiO, with au increase ol
0,0.'!l iu the total vote cast. liurlholdt'n majority was
only 4,r.9.", or ll.Tht less than in 1S!M!.
At this rate, the old Tenth District, if unchanged
iu boundaries would probably be can led by a Demo
crat this fall, or at flltthest two yeais hence. Deny
it as they may. Republican politicians hae been un
able to hold their own in a district which has lieen
conceded to them since it was organized.
The Twelfth District has always been lighting
ground. Republican majorities when that patty has
carried the district have always been small. The
late Slajor l'earce, popular among Republicans-as he
was, was forced to see his majorities cut down. Them
was about the same percentage of deeiease in the Re
publican majority in 1SUS and IWi'l in the Twelfth as
there was In the Tenth.
Iu ISDtl. Congressman I'eatce teceived a majoiity
of::,S12ina total vote of :tf,124. - In 1N)S. with a total
vote of LIMIS. or lO.a'iO less than In INMi. .Major
Pcarce's majority was cut to l.olL'. Hete is a de
crease exa( tly similar to Rartholdt's.
So why should there In- any surpiie that the
Twelfth did two years ago exactly what the Tenth did
at the same time? The conversion from Republican
ism to Democracy was working iu both districts. The
only diffeionco is that the danger point was nearer in
the Twelfth than iu the Tenth. Rarlholdt. with the
same small margin that Slajor lVarte possessed.
would not have been returned Congress in IMIS.
If then had been the .same telative decrease in
the Republican vote in the Twelfth In 1!KH as com
pared with IMiS that there was in IStiS as compared
with l.V.Kt. the Democratic majority would have been
about l.i WO. That the decrease was even greater may
be accounted for by the opposition to Ziegenheinisin
which gave many hundreds of Republican votes to
Demeemtle candidates nil over the city.
Why is tlieie anything remarkable in Hot-ton's de
feat? A study of the returns for the past few years
iu the city districts would not warrant a conclusion
that lloitou could have been fairly elected. Harlholdt
should know wlujt the Irouble was lie was getting
dangerously near the losing point himself. As for the
Twelfth District, the defeat of Dot Ion was natural.
There is no need to look up fraud in evpl.iining his
failtue to be elected.
Those Congressmen -who will persist' lu criticising
the protest of Representative Wheeler of Kentucky
against the courteous treatment of Prince Henry of
Prussia are wasting ammunition. Indeed, it is doubt
ful now whether Sir. Wheeler has not performed a
valuable public service iu making an ass of himself.
The promptness of the American repudiation of Lis
utterances will show the world that American men
have a proper conception of their duty us gentlemen.
-.
Wirnest.es who leave the city while the Grand
Jury is in session cannot be said to leave the best
impression behind. Circuit Attorney Folk has been
so diligent in unearthing the corruption of the past
few years that both respectable and ordinary rascals
are shaking in their shoes. The Circuit Attorney will
make St. Louis such au unhealthy place for boodlers
that those who have departed will never care to le
tiun. j,
