They like Mr. Bryan. Indeed, they consider him as one of themselves. They have no doubt that, with him in the White House, they, in- dividually, and their principles, would fare very well. They will declare for him at Sioux Falls, and indicate their further pleasure in the matter of a platform and running-mate, and refer the whole result to the demoeracy for consideration at Kan- sas City It will be seen thus that something may be said in favor of both wings of the popu- list party. The radicals have, at least, human nature on their side. They do not go too far in claiming to have almost com- pletely transformed the democratic party, and they are merely insisting that, if the time has come for populism to triumph, it shall triumph under its own name and in its own right. The fusionists, however, it must be admitted, are the better politicians. smells as sweet to them under another name, and as that name promises large returns at the polls they are willing ain for this fight under the democratic anner. And as for Mr. Bryan, they would not supplant him in the matter or leader- ship if they could. Sie eee The Boer Retreat. The rather rapid retreat of the Boers from the Vet river toward Kreonstad is not necessarily indicative of an early col- se of their campaign. It Is known that y have prepared for a stout defense at yonstad and further on at the border 2 located gun positions sufficient to af- ford them a fair opportunity to check even the heavy preponderance of the British yrees for a time. As soon as the strong toer positions in front of Kimberley and J.adysmith were broken and the burgher armies began to give ground {t was an- nounced that the stiffest of the fighting of campaign to follow would occur in the northern part of the Free State, where the Ventersburg range of hills give a chance for characteristic Boer work The long sh delay at Bloemfontein was some- what unexpected, doubtless by the Boers as weil as by the watching world, so that there was opportunity for the allies to creep back toward the Free State capital and shife the scene of Interest. The ma- neuvering which has occurred within the past fortnight, fol'owing the relief of Wep- r, means merely the recovery by the British of the ground that would have n theirs without a struggle had they n able to take immediate advantage of the capture of Cronfe and moved north- ward without a pause. there are some signs to indicate that the Boer retreat now is somewhat more than a mere giving way to prepare for a desperate reaistance under more favorab'e conditions in the north. The retreats are orderly thus far, it s true, and there have been no panies. But there has been no real nting. The work has been marked by a sion of harmless artillery duels by sweeping flank movements. Rob- erts has pushed the Boers on ahead of him from Thabarichu to Smaldeel, over sixty miles away from Bloemfontein, with the st insignificant losses on both sides. Sull, if some of the reports are true, there is a noteworthy lack of snap in the Boer movements. The lines have responded heavily to the word of command. The men are evidently weary of the long struggle. Joubert is dead, Cronje is at St. Helena, one of the most efficient of the foreign com- manders is dead and Botha, the command- er-in: ef, ts without. much prestige. It will require a stubborn stand somewhere in these northern reaches of the Free State to afford a true test of the Boer capacity to- Gay to continue the campaign with the ability and perseverance that marked the early successes. +o Admiral Dewey will no doubt formulate fome very stirring opinions on public af- fairs as soon as the reception committees Jet go his hand and give him a chance to arrange his Sdeas. ——_ + ++ —__ A Signigcant Railroad Deal. Austin Corbin’s old scheme to have the trans-Atlantic liners land at the eastern end of Long Island and then to rush the passen- gers to New York by fast express trains has been revived as a result of the purchase of the Long Island railroad by the Pennsylva- pia, which occurred during the past week. far the Glscussion of the Montauk ‘oint proposition Is entirely unofficial, as, is all debate on what the purchase fueans. One theory {s that the Pennsylva- nla and New York Central, acting in con- fimetion, will proceed to construct a series Of bridges and tunnels that will permit con- 2muous communication from northern New York, Long Island and New England south- ward to the main Pennsylvania system. @his tunnel project is Hkewise an old one, held in abeyance by the magnitude of the cost. Not so, however, with the Montauk Point terminal proposition, which would in- Volve comparatively slight expenditures. Corbin’s original plan was to run all Eng- Uish-American liners from Milford Haven, fm Wales, to Montauk Point, which would Feduce the average sailing time to well within five, and possibly four, days. Since Be made his calculation the ocean run has een somewhat reduced, and within a week it was announced that one of the German lines had contracted for a vessel competent to make twenty-four knots an hour. One feature of the Corbin plan was to improve the roadbed and equipment of the Long sland road, so that express trains might ‘be run down to Brooklyn in two hours. The Steamer run from this same point occupies at least eight hours. In addition to this ad- vantage—certain, Corbin believed, to be in- creased by the avoidance of fog delays south of Long Island—would be the fact that entrance Into Fort Pond bay, at Mon- tauk, would require far less time and in- volve less delay than the ordinary entrance into New York harbor. Since Corbin's scheme was exploited, four or five years ago, the government has dem- onstrated the usefulness of Fort Pond bay by its maintenance of a great army camp at Montauk, which necessitated the collec- tion of a large ffeet of transports in the offing. Of course, the change of the ocean terminal business from New York to Mon- tauk has been fought sturdily by all the in- terests in New York, Brooklyn and Jersey City that are now fattened by this enormous industry of hundling the foreign freight and passenger service. With the removal east- ward in connection with tunnels would come a revolutionary change over the as- pect of these three centers. Brooklyn would grow at the expense of Jersey City. But the consideration in view is heavy. To save stx hours in the oceanic run, and perhaps more, would be an enormous advantage, especially if secured by a single line over others. The outcome of this latest railroad trans- action, therefore, is being closely watched in view of its possibly radical effects upon the trans-Atlantic business. Like most ™modern financial deals, the details of the bargain and the plans of the operators are being jealously guarded, so that much of the future possibility of the enterprise is shrouded in mystery. Aguinaldo Ag: Only a short time ago anf@Mred a state- ment to the effect that indications pointed to the death of Aguinaldo at the hands of the savage tribesmen of northern Luzon. Now comes a direct official intimation that Aguinaldo {s alive and in the fleld at the head of a considerable body of insurgents. It is more likely that the latter state of case Is true than that the former rumor Was well founded. It ts highly improbable that Aguinaldo should have perished months ago with the fact hidden until now. There are strong reasons to believe that he escaped from the tsland at the time of the northern raid which resulted in the release of Lieutenant Gillmore. There were signs of him in Formosa and later in Singa- pore. Now General Young reports that he has grounds to think the leader ts with General Tino in northern Luzon, and he wants a sufficient force to strike while the Tagal Washington is within reaching dis- tance. ‘Whether Aguinaldo 3s alive or dead, or if alive in the archipelago or beyond the bounds, the fact is patent that there Is some life left in the insurrection. This was expected, even by the optimists who saw in last winter’s campaign a crushing blow to the native movement. There is unques- tlonably a large amount of guerrilla activity here and there in the islands. The other day on Samar a company of Americans was virtually wiped out of existence by the native bandits, who cornered the garrison. Since then there have been sharp encount- ers on Samar and on the neighboring island of Leyte, but with very different results. Indeed the accounts of virtually all the other fights save that at Catubig show that the Americans are rapidly reducing the number of the guerriilas in arms. This kind of fighting is likely to continue throughout the present season and well along into the autumn. It was to have been anticipated. As long as certain of the bandit chiefs remain in the field—and they are being steadily taken and imprisoned— there will be squads of irreconcilables on the prowl, and it will be necessary to main- tain a keen watch and a strong hand at vantage points throughout the affected ts- lands. But that the insurrection will ever again become formidable, with a founda- tion of comprehensive organization, is not to be expected. We shall probably hear a good deal about ard possibly something from Aguinaldo during the presidential campaign. He is likely to express anew his undying affection for the democratic party and Bryan. But his power is gone. His government fs dispersed. His ministers are mostly either in prison, dead or converted to good Americanism. His armies are dis- persed or killed. His prestige with the na- tives at large is destroyed. So that his re- entry into the field of fighting merely means that he has ventured to place him- self once more within reach, possibly for purposes of American political campaigning well understood by himself and by some of his allies here. But it fs a very ques- tonable move. ——_— + = ____ The Lacey Bill Endorsed. The movement to secure national support for the Lacey bill for the protection of game birds and animals and song and insec- tivorous birds has already acquired a con- siderable momentum. The bill passed the House a few days ago, and now petitions are in circulation among bird and animal lovers and sportsmen, addressed to the Sen- ate committee on interstate commerce, ask- ing for the prompt acquiescence of the up- per house. The bill is characterized as the most important measure ever introduced for the protection of the birds and animals, and if enacted into law and strictly enforced will go far toward stopping the depopula- tion of the fields, woods and hedges of val- uable life. Opposition to this bill can come solely from dishonestly interested sources. If only chicken feathers are used by the mil- liners for hat trimmings no milliner need fear that the Lacey law would interfere with her business or menace her Mberty. If, how- ever, the feathers of song and insectivorous birds are used for the manufacture of the wonderful creations that adorn women's heads, contrary to the letter and spirit of this proposed statute, and contrary also to the almost universal demand for the protection of these feathered friends of man, then there is reason for the milliners to tremble lest this bill should narrow the fleld of thelr safe activities. The same ts true of the game birds and animals, which are being killed out of season at a depopulating rate, under cover of the pretense that their slaughter was legal at the plac® of killing. Until the states have uniform laws, uni- formly enforced, the powers of Congress to regulate interstate commerce must be in- voked unless the forests and the flelds are to be silenced through the greed of the pot hunters and the hat trimmers. —_+ +2 —____ In fixing a date for Gen.

Roosevelt is not reported any better of his attack of vice-presidentphobia. > Roosevelt's Visit to Washington. Gov. Roosevelt leaves Albany today for Washington. He will remain here until Saturday. He comes, it is announced, partly to discuss political matters with friends, and this gives rise to fresh gossip about the vice presidential nomination at Philadelphia. The governor, we are told, will on this visit put his foot down firmly, and end all talk about making him the nominee. Some nonsense is current on this sub- ject, and needs to be put aside in any ef- fort to truly appreciate the real. situation. In the first place, the republican party is not In straits for a running-mate for Mr. McKinley. It has an exceptionally strong field to choose from. Maybe the best ser- vice Mr. Hobart rendered the country was to elevate the vice presidency in public opin- fon, and show how a man of energy and character and capacity may find opportu- nity in it for the exercise of much useful- ness and influence. And so it comes about that men of the strong and attractive stamp of Governor Roosevelt, Secretary Long, Postmaster General Smith, Senator Spoo- them are in the public mind in connection with the office. In the second place, Governor Roosevelt, simply by expressing his personal wishes in the premises to a few personal friends, can- not hope to affect matters if sentiment in the party is setting toward him. What- ever sentiment exists is not the result of a Personal canvass in his favor, but has sprung without coaxing from admiration of the man and his achievements. It 1s therefore of a kind not subject to manipula- tion by the ordinary devices of political management. What the real strength of this sentiment is cannot be determined prior to the meeting of the Philadelphia convention. Governor Roosevelt will be in attendance on that body as a delegate, and if his appearance on the platform should set off enthusiasm for him in such force as to lead to his nomination the question would then and there be settled. The idea that any man in such circumstances could with safety to his own future decline such an honor and thereby cheapen it to the man substituted for him is not worthy of a moment's consideration. Governor Roosevelt, lke every other re- publican In good standing, is subject to his party's call. He must serve wherever the party may choose to station him. And his party is to be congratulated upon the fact that, whether as vandidate for re-election as governor of New York, or for the vice presidency, he will serve it well. — 2 = ____ Cuba's experiences for many years past will enable it to be patient while this gov- ernment exerts itself to put a stop to all shady pecuniary transactions. ———~+2—___ Judge Lochren of Minnesota does not hes- {tate to assure Porto Rico that there Is United States Constitution enough to go "round. ————+ = —____ Mr. W.

Moments of Interest. “Were you interested at the piano re- eital?” asked the musician, “Well,” answered Mr. Cumrox, “it was a little slow at first. But after I caught the spirit of it and got to guessing with the others whether it was time to applaud or only a rest, it got to be quite a game.” A Contradiction. “Do you believe every man has his price?" “No, sir,” answered Senator Sorghum; “that’s a ibel on human nature.

The President's appointment of Mr. Dole as first American governor of the Hawalian Islands is eminently fit. There is an up- start and hot-headed faction among the Hawaiians which has taken offense at President Dole’s conservative ways, and would have been glad to see him replaced by a man more after {ts own heart. It 1s said to have maintained a lobby at Wash- ington to prevent the nomination of Mr. Dole. But President McKinley has wisely decided to respect the wishes of the more intelligent and stable elements of the popu- lation; and to continue at the head of af- fairs a man who, both as judge and as President, has shown himself steady and safe. The real diMcultfes of Hawailan self- government lie further on; but In the pre- Uminary step of selecting a governor no mistake has been made. ———_~-»—_____ A Pertinent Question. From the New York Tribune. Two ten-year-old boys were playing with a gun on Sunday, when the gun was dis- charged and one of the little fellows was instantly killed. Probably the incident will be regarded by some as a “mysterious dis- pensation of Providence.” But what Is to be thought of people who let ten-year-old boys have loaded guns for playthings or leave them where such children can get at them? ——_+ «+ ___ Absinthe and the French Army. From the Cleveland Leader. The commanding general of the French army has issued an order prohibiting the use of absinthe, vermuth and spirits by the soldiers. The object of the order {s to check the growing tendency to insanity among the government troops. The drink habit is responsible for many things that have disgraced the French people. —_——+ + —____ “Strenuous Activity” id “Diversified Gayety.” From the Chicago Evening Post. What will be hereafter known as the Jacksonville platform has been put into the most beautiful and elegant English by Mrs. Dewey. The lady thus expresses herself with relation to her husband's plans: “The admiral is used to strenuous activ- ity, but the exactions of such diversified gayety have not dealt gently with his nerv- ous system. Whatever the admiral's fu- ture, he always shall espouse domestic quiet whenever it is not inconsistent with his patriotic duty so to do." The significant use of the imperative “shall Instead of the mere symbol of the future “will” Indicates that Mrs. Dewey has the admiral well in hand, and further intimates that unless the husband volun- tarily espouses domestic quiet he will be made to yleld to pressure somewhat con- trary to aforesaid peaceful domesticity. Mrs. Dewey impressed us as a lady rea- sonably fond of the exactions of diversified gayety which play havoc with the nervous system, and we are charmed by this wife- ly regard, this surrender of self, which im- pels her to sacrifice, if necessary, her own pleasures to the domestic yearnings and needs of the admiral. We observe with Pleasure that Mrs. Dewey cautiously ex- cludes a presidential campaign and a pos- sible presidential tenure from the cate- gory of exactions, although we incline to the opinion ‘that if George ever makes a presidential race he will experience more diversified gayety in a week than he would ordinarily undergo in a year. However, as Mrs, Dewey says, patriotic duty cannot be Ignored, and we are’glad to learn that when the country calis the Deweys will be ready.
