There seems to be some doubt among the politicians as to who will be the strongest and best man to represent the republican party from this city in the next national convention. The Bex has printed a list of the gentlemen who have been men- tioned as candidates, and as an in- ducement to make this contest in- teresting, the BEE will present a fine gold headed cane to the candi- date who receives the highest num- ber of coupons. The coupons will be received and counted by the con- test editor, and all coupons will be !kept and counted in the presence of a committee to consist of one | friend from each candidate. Each coupon will count one vote, which must be sent to the contest- editor of the BEE. THE PEOPLE =’S CHOICE. WHO WILL THE T DELEGATE VOTE FOR YOUR CHOICE. The coming Republican contest for tes to the next National Repub- lican Convention will be a hot one. Public meetings have been held throughout the city, and it is still unde- cided who the most popular man is. As a test of each man’s strength the BEE will publish the list of the probable candidates, with a coupon attached, which will enable friends of each can- didate to vote for his choice. CANDIDATES.

OUR ALBANY LETTER. METHODS OF AID TO CHILDREN DIS- CUSSED ‘BY PHILANTHROPISTS. Elbridge T. Gerry and His Work—Some Well Known Visitors—Senator Murphy and His Home—Reform in Albany—Incen- diarism on the Increase. Special Albany Letter. Representatives of the various socie- ties for the prevention of cruelty to ¢ dren held a meeting in this city to dis- cuss the best methods of advancing their work. Most prominent among them was the veteran philanthropist, Elbridge T. Gerry, of New York city. Mr. Gerry is, in fact, the moving spirit in the great work which these organizations are car- rying forward so successfully, and it must be a source of gratification to him to know that so much good is being ac- complished. Very few people, either in the ci in the country, realize the necess| s for such a society, and they have little knowledge, of course, of the i that is accomplished. Through Mr. Ger- Interceeding for a Chi'd. ry’s efforts laws have been enacted which greatly facilitate the work of the society and enable it not only to prevent cruelty to children, but to reclaim hun- eds of children who have been sur- rounded by evil and improper influences, and to bring them up to i.ves of useful- and honor This “labor of love” complete 4 perfect operations that mistakes are ade, and the cruelty which was practise? in our great cities only a few years ago has almost entirely disap- rs ago to > of the which, taken > to home as atement ia full in When the facts were all brought t they d trated conclu child y much better off of the society than in “the re if re- or forward so has done re quires ability of a very high order, and it requires also the annual expenditure of a large amount of money. It makes one proud of American citizenship when he contemplates the priceless value of this work, in the relief which it affords to suffering humanity and in the degra- dation which is averted by the training of unfortunate children into paths of usefulness and honor when their natural guardians are unwilling or incapacitated for such a task. The merchants, the professional men and the successful men of affairs and their families are not the only people who, having spent the -ummer in the country, are now wending their journeys back to the oities. There is ar other very large class of annual summer visitors who, upon the first approach of cold | weather, turn their footsteps toward the great cities, which they call their home. The individuals I refer to are known as “tramps,” “hoboes” and “tourists.” Some sections of the country are fairly alive with these undesirable visitors. They are not compelled to return to the cities in time for the opening of the schools, as most summer visitors are, but from their point of view it is only important that they get back before it becomes too uncomfortably cool to sleep in barns, and in time to register for the election. If there is any one duty of good citizen- ship which these people s:"upulously discharge it is the duty of exercising their rights of suffrage one or more times on each election day. In one other respect these people are fully abreast of the modern political re- former—they are all independent voters. None of them can be said to be hide- Returning T:urists. bound partisans. They cast their votes, or at least they promise to cast them, in a perfectly non-partisan manner. I heard one the other day who desired to be entirely non-partisan in the matter of voting, and as he could vote but four times in as many different election dis- tricts, he cast two votes for the G. O. P. and then two more for the Democracy. He thus made twenty dollars for beer money without injury to any of the can- didates of either of the parties. The in- stances of such unselfish non-partisan- ship as this are very rare. The beautiful home of the junior Sen- ator of the State of New York is but six miles from this city, and yet Senator Murphy is seldom seen here. If there is a man living who is more warmly at- tached to his home city and to his friends and associattes there than Mr. Murphy is it would be a pleasure to meet him. Some silly newspaper writer has started and repeated the story that Mr. Mur- phy will make New York city his future home. No one who knew the man could have invented such a tale. In speaking | way. When once inside they usually re- THE WASHINGTON BEE. : of this published rumor the other day, the Senator sald: “Not if I were given Madison Square and a marble palace would I leave Troy.” No man living takes greater pride in his city and in all that concerns its welfare than Senator Murphy does. That fact would seem to be well established by his course in the ; Senate respecting the clause of the Wil-| son bill relating to the duty on collars and cuffs. Mr. Murphy undoubtedly be- lieved, as did many others, that the pro- Posed reduction would not affect the manufacturers. But he was unwilling to set his judgment against their ex- perience, and he quietly pursued a course which resulted in a substantiai | reduction of the tariff, with a corre- sponding reduction in the tariff on linen. This left the manufacturers sufficiently protected to enable them to control our markets and keep their 20,000 operatives here as busy as bees. Ex-Senator Jacob Worth, of Brook- lyn, is a Republican leader who is well known not only in Albany, but in other | parts of the State. Mr. Worth has just | met with an experience which at one| time or another comes to almost every man who aspires to political leadership. He has been beaten at a caucus of his party in his own ward. This fact seemed to be of sufficient importance to be tele- graphed to the remotest villages in our land, and if there is any newspaper which has not printed it, it would ap- pear that the editor has not a proper appreciation of what constitutes “the news.” The ex-Senator is really a remarkable man, and if his opponents are deeming that his temporary defeat has annihi- lated him as a political factor they will realize their mistake later on. Mr. Worth is a born leader, and he could not help exerzising a powerful influence | even if he desired not to do so. It is indeed somewhat remarkable that he | should have risen to be the acknowl- edges leader of the Republican party in the great City of Churches. If I remember correctly, Mr. Worth was formerly a common sailor, and his advantages for education were very lim- ited. But he possesses a genial ana kindly nature, is remarkably quick and accurate in forming his judgment of men | and is reputed to be intensely loyal to all his friends and steadfast in his pur- Poses even amidst the most disastrous defeats. Such a man is only strength- ened in his purposes by these temporary reverses. and he comes up again with larger experience and better equipped to contend again for mastery. This Capital City is enjoying the fruits of reform, according to the word of Mayor Wilson. He has made numer- ous personal inspections to discover if the excise laws are strictly enforced on Sundays, and reports that he is satisfied that they are. On the other hand, the young men who do the reporting for the daily papers insist that they have no difficulty in finding plenty of saloons where the flowing bowl can be enjoyed to one’s heart’s content on the Sabbath. One liquor dealer stated that his Sun-| day receipts have largely increased since the new orders went into effect. His} saloon is on a street that is unfrequent- ed on Sunday, and his patrons are ad- mitted through a side door in the hall- Senator Murphy. main as long as their money lasts, and this accounts for his increased sales. The aggregate losses of all the fire insurance companies doing business in the country during the past year foots up to the enormous sum of $150,000,000. The most experienced underwriters in the country believe that more than $30,- 000,000 of these losses are caused by in- cendiaries. One can hardly imagine the possibility of the truth of this statement. It seems almost incredible in view of the extremely few instances where convic- tions are recorded. I asked an old fire adjuster the other day if it were possible that these fiends are annually obliterat- ing this enormous amount of property. He declared that the estimate is too small. It is his firm conviction that fully one-third of all the fire losses are the result of crime. Hew long the fire companies can afford to feed the averice of these successful criminals remains to be seen. But the fact must not be for- gotten that the country is at least a million dollars the poorer évery week than it would be if swift punishment followed every crime. c. F. R. COB. The Water Tree. M.
