The uncompromising and impracticable Smong the New York independents can see no difference between the two tickets thai Lave t put up in the empire state. It is tney insist, between Platt and Croker, and they will have none of either. A third ticket is necessary, therefore, to enable them to participate with self-respect in election, and the personnel of this they are now considering. But there ts a difference and a very great one. The Saratoga ticket may not with any sort of justice be denominated Platt’s ticket. Mr. Platt is undoubtedly a boss, as is Mr. Croker, but, unlike the Tammany man, he is not playing boss this year. The friends of sound money and good governmenc made the Saratoga ticket, and {f it is elected sound-money and good government wili benefit” The great business interests of the State ardently desire the success of the Ucket. They know Cotonel Roosevelt, and, im the event of his election, will help to hold up his hands. Mr. Platt is a bold and a shrewd man, but he would never attempt is an ca- to fit a collar around the neck of Theodore Roosevelt. The Syracuse ticket, on the other hand, is distinetly Mr. Croker’s ticket. The Tam- any chief mas never before been so much of a boss as he now ts. He is extending his domain. The pent-up Greater New York ets his powers. His ambition is to ol the whole state. He went to Syra- t is now plain enough, as complete- er of the situation, so far as the | ticket was concerned, as he was of his own vote in the convention. His nod would have d anybody. He balanced the two Van Wycks in his scales and took the Brooklyn man because the nomination and j election of the one already in office would te a mayoralty campaign next That he did not desire. behind Mr. Croker and his ticket as the leading factor on that side is Tam- many Hall. Success without the greatest effort of Tamany’s life is not for a moment to be thought of. Success may be impossi- ble even with Tammany in its best form and working like a Trojan. But so it is that Tammany is in control, and Tammany is relied on to turn the trick. Any independ- }€nt, therefore, who votes for a third ticket protest indirectly plays into £ Tammany Hall.

They have not heea kept long abroad. Theit task w: ficult, but not beyond the rach of wise ution. One of the main arguments raised against the union of the two republics | fore and repeated after annexation was 2d wes that it would be next to ble to adjust the differing conditions ng in the United States and Hawaii. Chaos was freely predicted as surely to fol- lew union. The plans of the com thus far reve ion, pners, ndicate that this sug- lik» most others which were put forth by the enemies of annexation, was a figment of the imagination, baseless in fact, 1 unjustitied even in theory when the true situation became known. The purpos> of the commissioners is to recommend that the islands be governed as a territo: mewhat in form and ates from the al- n territories. This sary to cover the unusual ng in the annexed group. relationship to condi What it B particular does not now aprear. It is likewise planned to adopt a scheme of enfranchisement which will rec- ognize the widely diversificd branches of the Hawaiian po} ation, drawing the nec- ry line of distinction between the edu- i, permanent inhabitants and th> labor- ers imported for commercial uses, as well as the lower orders of foreigners who have of late years been crowded into the islands for colonizing purpos:s. To enfranchise these differing elements each upon its own proper ground requires a plan of suffrage markedly distinct from the broadly uniform American plan, and it appears now that commissioners have devised a project ich will meet the case in its exact bear- ings, as revealed to them in their inve: ticns wh Aside from the question of gov>rnment and enfranchisement comes the other and, in me respects, more important subject of adjusting the national laws of the United es to wu litions now existing in 5 apply those laws at one broad stroke would be manifestly unjust and unwise be worked Hardships and inequities would which might not cured in l-cades.

The pro- cess of amalgamation has proved thus far, and will doubtless continue to prove, easy of management in the hands of the capable men to whom it nas been entrusted. a It will be some time before remarks about Hay-days’ and allusions to “loafing around the throne” are dismissed from pub- lic attention. ———_~> = —____ Aguinaldo should refrain from confining his line of march to the shortest distance n the band wagon and the commis- sary tent. betwe 202 Mr. Platt and Mr. Roosevelt may not un- leriake tu settle this little question of per- supre y unul after the election. oe!

It may be well to summarize from time te time the case of the sensationalists against the President in the ter of the conduct of the war. First cam the hoarse cry that corrup- tion, favoritism and criminal incompetency had characterized the whole proceeding. Light should and must be turned on. A searching investigation was necessary in the interests of truth and justice. The country was entitled to full particulars. The President met this by ordering an in- vestigation and inviting men of high stand- ing, democrats and republicans, to under- take the task. The sensationalists then tacked and went upen another course. The President was attempting to secure a whitewash. He was packing a jury to secure an acquittal. The commission proposed could not compel wit- nesses to testify, and hence those in posses- sion of damaging facts would consult their own interests and pleasure about revealing them. Some of those first invited for the work declining, for business reasons, this was seized upon as evidence that men of the proper grade, whose names commanded the confidence of the country, would not serve because of a conviction that the affair would be a farce. They had politely re- fused to lend themselves to humbug, even at the President's request. Their souls were their own and they would not sell them. The President had no difficulty in filling vacancies that had thus been created, and secured a commission of men so competent, so well known and so reputable that criti- cism on that score was largely disarmed. Then came about a return to the o!d charge, that even a commission of good, well-mean- ing men could not in the cireumstances get at the true inwardness of the business, and that the investigation would be barren of results. Now that the commission has gone to work upon intelligent and comprehensive lines, with the President assisting to the full extent of his power, the sensationalists want to cut out the work and decide how it shall be performed. They alone are com- petent, are in possession of the truth or know where it may be found, and have the public interests sincerely to heart. This Is their latest manipulation. It will avail nothing, and then we shall have some new trick. With them the motto is: Sufficient unto the cay is the trick thereof. They have until November to operate. soe It is said that the Prince of Wales has sanctioned th2 public use of the toothpick. ‘This rumor serves to convey some idea of the gentleman's responsibilitie: be a great blow to tradition i inadvertently eat with his knife. + ¢ = —____ Unless Aguinaldo develops more In other ay be com- » chairman of a committee on gold whistles and badges, ——__ + 0 = —____ id that Mrs. all the problems of mundane her entire satisfaction, has resolved to de- It would he should Mr. tion. lost Van Wyck has displayed some hesita- But he would hardly consent to be so soon after his dis ee age gene Ted Sloan is a g t jockey, but he will never be the statesman that Croker is. —__ +e 2 It must be admitted that it takes Croker a long time to find Hill's solar plexus. ——_—_+e- SHOOTING A Danger to Be Considered. “My boy.” said the man of ideal tempera- ment, “if you want to become a master of your profession, you must study; study day and night.” c replied the energetic youth; “and while I'm away off in a corner studying some other man will be hustling around getting all the business.” An Effort to Be Great. “Were you a rough rider?” he heard her claim. His face was a picture of woe; But he said, “Yes, indeed. When from London I came The sea was quite choppy, you know.” What They Would Part With. “What'll we yield to these Americans?” asked the chairman of the committee on triumph in the cortes. There was a long silence, which caused the chairman to exclaim impatientiy: “We've got to give ‘em something!” A small, timid-looking man arose said: “Most of those islands owe a great deal, do they not ay “Well, suppose we concede the debts and He Had One. “Young man,” said Farmer Corntossel, “I must say you've done a heap o’ talkin’ about yer family tree.

From the Churchman. We have just spoken of the natural ef- fects upon the general convention that may be expected from its august surroundings in the capital city; but what of the effects of the convention itself upon the life of the city? Can a body of consecrated men as- semble together in order to work for any form of ideal goodness, truth or beauty without benefiting all who are brought into contact with them? We believe not. We feel sure that in some subtle way almost every man and woman in Washington, from the leaders of fashion to the hard- worked employes of the departments, will be the better for the convention's presence. The sight of hundreds of men who have left their normal avocations to spend weeks of unselfish labor for the advancement of the Church of God must suggest new views of life to people living in an atmosphere of fashionable and political wordliness. Then, again, it will be a good thing for every ad_ ministrative official, from the highest to the lowest, to be made thoroughly con- scious of the fact that the people of this country are, in the mass, God-fearing, hon- est and sober, not wordly-minded, cynical and careless of decency and right. We wish that the two houses of Congress were in session, in order that the representatives of the people in their political capacity might profit from the example of the rep- resentatives of the people in their religious capacity. This could not be, yet we cherish the hope that the meeting of the conven- tion at Washington may somehow bear fruit in furthering the development in America of a high type of Christian states- manship. +0 —__. Independents the Determining Factor From the Syracuse Herald. It may be said, therefore, that the repub- lican party is united for Roosevelt. There is the threatened bolt of the Citizens’ Union, to be sure; but-the men encourag- ing it are political nondescripts. The bone and sinew of the organization that roiled up 150,000 votes for Seth Low in Greater New York last November are unquestion- ably preparing to support Roosevelt. If the fragment that is still posing as the Citi- zens’ Union nominates a separate ticket it will probably receive the vote of as many democratic as republican mugwumps. ‘The democracy may as well conclude first as last that the republican party stands solidly behind Roosevelt, and that the de- termining factor of the contest will be the independent vote. we CARD!
