Secretary Gresham.

The country will learn with genuine
regret the news which we publish this
morning in regard to Secretary
Gresham. He has been one OF the
few public men of the present day who
has measured up to the best standards
OF the past, and whom the country
can i'll afford to lose. Whatever diff
ferences OF opinion may exist as to the
question OF national md international
concern with which he had TO do in
the course of his public career, there
can be none as to his absolute person
al and political integrity and sincerity.
From first to last he has been noted
for his stern and answering devotion
to principle and for the pure and ex.
allied spirit OF patriotism by which he
was animated. His record during the
war was brilliant one, and was
characterized by gallantry OF the high
est character, and his career as a
civilian was scarcely begun before be
proved that he was as brave in peace
"a in war-that he had what is rarel
than physical courage, the courage tC
syow and follow his convictions where
ever they led, no matter what persons
sacrifices such course might involve
This testimony to his ability and
character will be ungrudging anc
general, and even his political critics
and opponents will freely accord hin

THE latest straddle combination
talked of by the Republicans, IL Nor
ton, of New York, and Dubois, of
Idaho. 1t is calculated by the Repub
licans who are trying to push this
combination, that it would, like the
negroes coon scheme, "ketch 'em
gwine and ketch 'em COMM" Gov.
Morton would get the support OF the
banking and moneyed interests Of the
middle and eastern states; and Sena-
tor Dubois Won ~aise the widest en-
thusiasm among Che silver Republi-
cans of the northwest, not only on &C =.
count of his very pronounced silver
views, but because OF the belief that if
the ticket was elected he would almost
certainly be President before 1901.
Some people may consider such a
combination too great an absurdity to
be success, and perhaps it is. New.
ertheless it is being seriously pushed
by men who do not waste their time
on what they do not think they can
make success of. These men will
carefully watch the effect of the silver
straddle adop ed by the Ohio Republi-
cans, at the sus yestion, or command

man. If that straddle meets with suf-
ficient Republican favor in other
states to make it the basis Of the silver
plank adopted by the Republican ma
tional convention, as Senator Sherman
and other prominent Republicans are
confident it will, the men behind the
straddle ticket of Morton and Dubois
will be confident OF their ability to
nominate their ticket. They argue
that straddle ticket ought to 60

the high praise of purity Of motive
and unauterated love Of country. The
small majority or jingoists who have
criticized his conduct OF the Depart
ment OF State and his attitude upon
the international questions that have
arisen during the present administra-
ton will, few years hence, when
they are able to take a sober second
thought, probably revise their present
judgments. IT they do not they will
prove themselves even less intelligent
and patriotic than their worst enemies
have supposed him. Hlstery, how
ever, will pronounce but one verdict
upon the record made by him in the
Department of State under Mr. Cleve
land, and that verdict will be one OF
the highest commentator. The re.
view of our foreign policy under Mr.
Oleveland's administration, as given
in the Sun of yesterday and tday, Is
a tribute to Mr.. Gresham as u = lC
the Pres;dent-the tribute OF au,om
plished facts and beneficial results
That policy while peaceful has b Ell
patriotic in the highest sense anC
American in the truest, and whil
scrupulously maintaining the right
aud honor of this country in ever,
question has preserved it from tn
snares and pitfalls OF reckless an,
greedy diplomacy. Mr.. Gresham ha
shown himself man after Mr.. Cleve
lands heart and pattern-true, homes
and courageous, a worthy aid and al
sociate OF a great and strong executive
His loss will be loss not only to tb
administration, but to the countr
which he has served so well and who's

Republican Cheek,

When the panic of 1913 came the Re-
publicans endeavored to make it APP
pear that the hard times were due en-.
tirely to the tariff bill then pending in
Congress. That bill became law,
and conditions have gradually i'm.
proved until now there is every ind.
cation of returning prosperity, The
Republicans are equal to the emer-
gency. however, and the platform
adopted at GAINESVILLE says the i'm
provement is due to the prospect Of
the triumph of the party of protection
in the next campaign. This is theory
that times are affected by the hopes
AMI fears of the people more than by
actual conditions. 1t is a theory O
public disease like that the Christian
scientists apply to individual afflic
tions-a proper frame Of mind is al
that is needed for a cure.-Nc8hviH

Cleveland and Conference,

1t is not apparent that there was
need of President Cleveland saying
anything about an international BIZ
metallic conference at present. The
men who talk upon this subject most
are chiefly politicians, who are inclin-
ed to dodge taking a decided position
on the currency, and President Cleve
land is not one of their number. He
will doubtless be ready to act when il
is apparent that foreign nations gen
orally desire such conference to be
held, but in view of our previous ex
perience in the like gatherings, he oc
cupies dignifed position in waiting
for Europe to take the initiative with
