Ex-Secretary Whitney Says lie is Not p
Candidate for the Presidency

NdnuIuaie IOE Lne Iresluency
CHICAGO. Oct. 5.-A Washington
special to an evening paper says:
EX-Secretary Whitney, when his
name was suggested for the presidency
by Il southern democratic senator one
day this week, said:
Your kind mention of my name in
connection with the presidency is very
gratifying, but | have no desire to be
considered a candidate. In fact, 1
shall not become a candidate. and if I
thought it should become necessary
me to make a public statement to
that effect | would do SO in the daily
press. The democratic party does not
lack for men of ability and statesman
ship from whom to select a leader.
Whenever the party gets together and
its now somewhat discordant elements
are unified on a general policy-then
the right man will spring up to lead
the way to victory"
The southerner came back from
New York and repeated what Mr..
Whitney said to him. 1t created some
surprise and comment here, where
Whitney has been put down as fore
most in the list of active aspirants for
the democratic nomination.

cold-wcather gowns.
The new silks begin with black in a
score of different weaves, as black is
highly favored in the world of fashion
this season. French faille and peau de
sole of satin finish, with a demi-luster,
are the most reliable of the silk tex
lures with black-rePped surface, and
they will be largely patronized, both
for costumes entire and for coats and
separate skirts. Dark Dresden and
Chine silks are brought out in rich
heather colors for autumn and winter
wear. These are very handsome and
make very stylish as well as service
able gowns. Soft-textured Liberty
satins are used for trimmings and for
demi-dress gowns. Many of these are
in lovely chameleon effects, and they
make ideal dresses trimmed with vel

the silk. The shepherds checks, both

season has set in with imported shapes
quite as large as ever, which is a SUI
Indication that they will remain in
style in America for a long time unless

here, as with other fashions, the

Most of the existing styles are likely

changed in shape, there are many de-

which have so long prevailed. One of
the popular skirts shows a very broad

done, as the deposits are entered iato pass

AN ACCEPTABLE VETO.

The veto OF the Worth Charities and

politicians by surprise and causes con.
siderable feeling against Gov. Morton or
the part OF the Republican politicians
who were In favor Of the bill. Lieut..
Gov. Saxton and Speaker Fish are
among the most seriously disappointed
The bill was = machine Job. There Is
no doubt about that. 1t was intended
to put power In the hands OF Jake
Worth, one OF the most active and ag.
gressive OF the old Brooklyn machine
bosses and a political jobber from the
crown OF his head to the soles OF his
feet.
1t Is limited that the veto Is intended
to cover and excuse some approvals OF
New York bills OF a similar character
But this is probably a malicious rumor
At all events. Gov. Morton Is entitled e
credit for all his good works. and tn,
veto OF the Brooklyn Job Is certainly one
OF them.

A NEW TRICK OF THE TROLLEY.

The trolley companies Of Brooklyu
have lessened the speed Of their cars
They crawl like snails. Men and women
have TO rise earlier to reach New York
within Office hours. Time is lost by day
and night.
The people cry out against this. They
demand the old speed. What say the
trolley monopolists? Certainly. We wi.
give you more speed, as much speed as
you wish, but when you get speed you
must stop botherlng us with complaints
about your mangled or dead children.
We will not put proper tenders on the
cars because they cost great deal OF
money. II you want to have your chill
dren safe In the streets. then the cars
will 70 slow. Let uA run over your chill
dren and they will go fast.
What Brooklyn needs Is one good pow
erful man to grip the trolley monopoly
BY the throat and shake into 1t some re-
spect for the rights Of the people or
some fear of their power. Just now
they are fooling with human life and
sneering at human love. Why does not
