Certain New York politicians are quite
sure that Senator Hin was tickling the
ribs of Richard Croker with his knife
when he said at the Democratic Club the
other night that Ignorance, brutality.
dissipation, speculative sporting. avarice
and free-booting'' should be not regarded
as desirable qualities for democratic
membership anywhere, much less for
prominence in democratic councils. 1t
seems that nobody can in New York
denounce wrong and bad qualities with
out the conclusion being jumped to that
Tammany or its ex-boss is the object of
attack.

The opinion that foreign distrust Of many
Of the great corporations in this country
is in great measure responsible for the
heavy outflow of gold seems to be gaining
in followers. MIR. Nathan Straus, who mas
lately returned from Europe. says such
distrust exists. and that foreign investors
win continue to send their American Sc
curities home unul it Is allayed. Some
weeks ago Mrs. Hetty Green. the famous
woman millionaire, gave that reason for
the flight of American gold to Europe. And
therein is a suggestion for the woman suf-
fragists W hen they get control Of the gov

1t begins to look as if there would be
some vacancies in the Senate of the next
congress, as in the current congress. be-
cause of the failure of legislatures to
elect. The states in which there were
no elections are Montana, Wyoming and
Washington. And Washington appears
TO be no more able this time to decide
upon who shall be the senator than she
was before. The Delaware deadlock. too,
promises to be continued for some time
longer. 1t is pretty safe to say that II
the people had the senator's to elect there
would be no such annoying loss OF time
in deciding between the candidates.

spend more in charity than any other Eu-
ropean monarch. He gave the poor $50 coo

q year and a half he has not touched the
income of the crown. Possibly as a re-
ward for such virtue King Humbert
killed seventy wild bears during a recent
hunting expedition.
