WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.--Commodore Far
quhar, chief of the bureau of yaids and
docks, in his annual report to the secreta'y y
of the navy, expresses n regret that the ap-
pro riations for the maintenance Of navy
yards and stations was SO limited that it
had not been possible to keep pace in the
repairs with the deterioration. The great
permanent Improvements have been made,
however, in the yards. Stress is laid
upon the necessity of an increase
in Che estimates for wards and

Mrs. Lease for Senator.

TOPEKA. Kan, Nov. 1.-THE opinion ex-
lists here that stranger things might happen
than the election of Mrs. Mary L. Lease as
United States senator from Kansas. Mrs.
Lease's candidacy for the senate has be-
come serious reality. She is fixing wires
for the place and her popularity with the
rank and file of the party will give her at
least an equal chance with other aspirants,
especially rs there seems to be no constitu-
tional disqualification.

Nav Day Celebrations.

BERLIN, Nov. 17.-At the socialist con-
cress to-day the discussion of May day
celebration was renewed. Herr Demne-
wolf. of Mannheim, argued that it is neoes.
sarv for all working men to cease all labor
on May day in order to frighten manufac-
turers into submission. 1t was necessary,
he said. to expose manufacturers to brutal
ity and show the power of socialists. After
n lengthy debate the congress finally Ie-
jected, by vote of 235 to five. a resolution
in favor of binding all socialists to an ab-
solute cessation of work on May day.

CENSUS bulletin No. 175 presents inter.
esting statistics of the count of popula.
ton according to color, sex, nativity, etc.
in the six New England states. The to,
tai population of New England in 1896
was 4,7OO,745, of which number 2.3l3,,
100 were males and 2,3S6,99O were fe.
males, making the number of females
without prospect of marriage 1926
The foreign-born population was 1854,
The increase in population in the decade
since 1880 was G9O,2lG, or 1871 per cent
The males are now increasing faster
than the females. A striking feature is
the increase of foreign-born citizens in
all the New England states except Yer
mont. At present Rhode Island has the
largest percentage of foreigners, the pop
ulation being 3O.77 per cent, or nearly
one-third. I'm Massachusetts and Rhode
Island" says the bulletin, hardly two
tifths of the population are of purely ma
tive stock-that is, native white of native
parentage." The exact percentage of
purely native stock was 1867 in Massa-
chusetts and 1881 in Rhode Island. In
all New England but 51.82 per cent is
native white Of native parents.

PRESIDENT HARRISON has a graceful
and pleasing way of mixing sentiment
and apt discrimination in making his
diplomatic appointments. Himself the
grandson OF a man who was president
of the United States, he commissioned,
early in the administration, Lincoln and
Grant, sons of former presidents, as
ministers to England and Austria, and
both have capably represented the in
terests of the government at the courts
to which they were respectively assigned.
Yesterday he appointed the grandson of
a former president to be the minister to
France. L. Jefferson Coolidge, who is to
represent the United States at Paris, is a
grandson OF Thomas jefferson, the father
OF democracy, and his appointment is,
therefore, in the nature OF an appeal to
democratic sentiment. To be sure he is
a republican but it is said he was once a
democrat. He probably was not much
a democrat. He is a large iron manu-
facturer and went into the ranks of the
republicans because he wanted protec-
ton. He probably is in position to con-
tribute largely to the republican cor
ruption fund.

REPUBLICAN papers are making a great
noise over the reduction by the house
pensions committee of the commission
er's estimate of STAT 100000 for the en-
suing year to Sl37, 100000. Raum's adj
ministration of the pension bureau JUST
ties the reduction. He ",akrs his esti-
mate with Difference to the wishes of the
crowd of sharks so closely connected
with his office. The st. Paul Globe
reports a case which illustrates
the methods of Raum and his allies.
The widow of a Minnesota soldier, had
applied for a pension. Her little means
had been swept away in a bank failure.
Five children had depended on her
labors for support. After the passage of
the dependent pension act she dropped
proceedings under the former applica-
ton, and, as the case was a clear one and
the proof easily made under this act, she
expected a speedy adjustment of her
claim. After a long delay, for which Do
cause was given, a friend made personal
application to the bureau for the cause.
He was told the case would have i'm
mediate attention. Soon after she re-
ceived a call from the office for a correc-
tional affidavit. This was promptly for
warded. Another delay of several weeks
followed. A renewed application brought
a reply that the affidavit was not
On file. The same mail brought a letter
from a firm of sharks saying that if she
gave them her case there would be no
such delay; that they had means of get
ting cases passed. The date of the let
ter was a day previous to that from the
bureau. The affidavit was sent in a ire
turn" envelope. 1t has not come back to
the sender. Was it suppressed in the
bureau: Was the delay made to weary
the widow into employing the sharks:
1t is just such cases as this occurring by
the thousand that are making people in
different to how small the sum is that is
entrusted to Raum's bureau, and are
making old soldier themselves %callous to
he assaults of republican papers on the
action of the committee.

ONE CONVENTION OK TwOe

Some Of the democratic papers OF the
state are very much exercised over the
question whether the democracy OF
Montana shall hold one or two conven
tions-whether the delegates to the Chi
cago convention and the nominees fol
state offices shall be selected at the same
or at separate conventions. 1t really
seems to worry some of them-though
why it should is not easy to see. The
most pronounced opposition to the one
convention plan comes from Helena. 1t
is possible that the reason for the op-
position in this case is some boyle that
has been conjured up regarding the cap
ital question. But, however, that may
be, no good reason has yet been advanc.
ed for holding two conventions.
1t is not such a very important mat
met that 1t should cause any worry.
There are certainly arguments, and good
owes, for holding but one convention.
Very little, if anything. car be done in
the way Of organization until the can
didates are selected. While the TRIB-
UNE believes that Montana is a demo
cratic state yet it cannot be carried for the
democratic party without close organiza-
ton and faithful work. The coming
campaign is a most important one to
both of the great parties. as upon it's re-
suit will undoubtedly depend the polit-
ical complexion of Montana for some
years to come.
Fifteen of the sixteen members oil the
state central committee have expressed
themselves as in favor of but one con
1ention. 1t is but fair to presume that
members voice tn" sentiment of
he party in their respective counties.
Their views may change when the mat
ter comes before the committee for dis
:ussion and decision. But such a change
If views will come only upon valid rea-
IONS brought forward in favor of two
conventions. The general custom has
yer been to hold but one convention.
'hus far there have ben no valid rea-
ons advanced why the custom should
.ot be adhered to.

THERE is some danger that the state
of Washington will lose its vote on the
presidency this fall. The constitution
Of the state provides that the legislature
shall appoint the manner of choosing
electors the clause being mandatory.
The legislature has not complied with
this provision.

The fact that the state of Washington
may lose her electoral vote has been
mentioned in these columns. North
Dakota is in about the same predica-
ment and in Michigan no provision has
been made for the two electors at large
to which the state is entitled. Hence
there are nine electoral votes in doubt.
