The detailed accoun is OF the Chcfoo affair,

clear that tho so-calod seizure by tho Russians
OF disputed part OF tho foreshore, for the pur-
poses OF building pier thereon. was "A business
transaction. without special international sig
nincance.
1t is especially certain that the presence OF our
squadron there, AT tho time, had no relation
whatever TO tho fact that an American, Mr..
SMITH. was the agent Of the Russian Steam
Navigation Company mt that port. and secured
the land for that company. The fact that tho
Russians had at Chcf0o half IA dozen vessels.
including tho powerful armorcads Rurik,
D!mitri Donskoi, and Emperor Nikolai. and that
Admiral MCNAIH also had there his flagship,
the Olympia, the cruiser Detroit and the gun
boats Yorktown and MAJ hius, perhaps seemed
suspicious To the excited Britishers; but 1t was
only coincidence on our part and perhaps on
the part OF the Russians also.
The British. II 10 true. claimed that tho land
taken was part OF tract set apart for their use
for residence and warehouses. But be that AS II
may. the accounts received by our Goycrnment
show that the affair was purely commercial,
and that our ships had nothing whatever to do
with 1t.

The big Tree nt the battery Under Which

At the southeast corner Of Battery Park. OPP

held in place by n stone curbing running around
1t, is a fiattened mound OF earth. This mound

from Ellis Island. and waiting here 10 rest,
or until friends shall come for them, or until
their guides shall marshal them to take them on

Men. women. and children from many lands
have sat on this mound under the big tree and
talked In many tongues or have here silently
formed their first impressions OF the new world.
There has been among them no future Prcsi-
dent of tho United States for he must be- a
native OF the country, but there may have been
future senators and Representatives in Com
gress. and legislators in the various States to
which they have gone. and boys who have be-
come Judges OF conspicuous in other walks OF
public life; and there hnve been mnny girls who
have bccoUe happy wives and mothers in the

Tho Real Boss.

The real boss is = OF the Hon. MARCUS AR.
GESTUM HANNA. lie is the Hon. THOMAS Cot.
LIER PLATT OF New York. He is the man who
has showed before the Convention and dur.
ing the Convention the qualities Of com.
mand. an infexble purpose and the power
TO carry it out. MARK HANNA wanted to
nominate MCKINLEY on an ambiguous plat
form. The carefully planned nomination
could not be beaten; but Mr.. PLATT, with
the intelligent and courageous help OF the
REED men, forced Mr.. HANNA to come out
into the open. He forced the Republicans
from a cowarlly evasion into a straightfor-
ward declaration.
II to be n boss is to show the quality OF
leadership Mr.. PLAT may now be justly
called boss. The free lunch which is
steaming up To the nostrils Of the MCklS-
LEY patriots may not be offered to him.
From 1897 to 1901 he may be, ms he has
often been before, without n particle Of sup
port from the Administration. The gang
of traitors and self-seekers in his party in
this State, the Republicans with the loud
est pretensions and the least attachment to
principle, will gorge at the trough.
For his conduct in this Convention Mr..

zens OF New York, OF both parties, who ap-
prcciate the Importance of his services in
forcing gold down the throats OF the two
faced supporters OF NJ KINLEY. No poll

emily ampooned He has become, in the
eyes Of the Pharisccs, the representative Of
the baser, ms opposed to the fabulous "bet-
ter " element. Yet few politicians in his
party have owed less to material patronage
He has thrivcd rather in spite OF than be-
cause Of the patronage. He Is more often
in opposition than in favor with the court
And this week, when tho drcss-parade
Republicans OF New York were false
to its interests; when. in the frenzy
Of faction, they were showing that
they hated Mr.. PLATT more than they
loved the gold standard in which the pros
perity of New York is bound up when
some of them who are the loudcst in virtu-
ous assevcration were playing, consciously
or unConsciously, the part OF the sneak, Mr.
PLATT did his duty as an honest citizen,
and compelled the shifty manager of the
evasive candidate to take his medicine
HANNA has money and system. But
when he ran up against nun who believed
in something and stood up for it, HANNA
had to weaken. The boss is the man who
bosses. 1t is not HANNA, for all his self
assertion and his advertising. 1t is PLATT,
who, when his pretending Republican
opponents in this State We're spending their
time at st. Louis in mean, measly, petty,
and vicious efforts to break him down. was
insisting, and making his insistence efrcc-
tive upon the gold standard. He has served
the State well and the blind and selfish
MCKINLEY touters who are now smiling the
offices will wait good many years before

She contradicts him at the head of his
own table, interrupts his anecdote to
set him right on an utterly unimpor-
tant little detail-say the date of a trans
action, which he makes the eth of Sep
tember and she asserts was the Sth;
she interferes in all his arrangements,
and questions his authority in the sta
ing-room: she apportions his food and
regulates the amount OF wine he ma!
take; should she dislike the smell of to-
bacco she will not allow him the most
transient Whit of the most refined Gig
arctic, and, like her brother with his
victim, she teaches the children to de-
spise their father by the frank con-
tempt with which she treats him and
the way in which she flouts his opinion
and denies his authority. If she is more
afectionate than aggressive she rem
ders him ridiculous by her effusiveness.

All out of love and its unreasoning

In public as in private life-and allows
him no kind of freedom. Robust and
vigorous as he is, she worries over his

obliged to call any man his lord and
master? People without homes Will
have no true liberty. In the language
of Mr.. Zimmerman, Of the Bankers
association, whom you quote, they "wlll
not quarrel with their rulers To wor-
ship God under his own vine and fig-
tree, none daring to modest and make
afraid, is beautiful figure of Scripture,
symbolic of the highest type of religious
liberty So the same figure of speech
is equally emblematic of the highest
type of civic liberty. The two are in
separately woven together. There can
be no religious liberty without civic
liberty. neither can there be civic liberty
without religious liberty. The history
of nations is abundant proof of this.
These are not merely pesslmistic words,
but are cold, solid facts that cannot be
denied and are staring us in the face.
With the millions of mortgages on the
homes of the people, many OF them
beyond the hope of redemption; with a
debt to foreign capitalists, whose yearly
interest payable in gold-exceeds the
surplus products exported; with
Sl,2OO,OOO of private mortgages on Mar

pended by the people in intoxicants;
with all this we, as people, Will have to
be awakened to the fact or very soon
be sunk to the condition of serfdom
under the tyrannical rule of Imperial
Capital" Then, truly, we will be in
condition where we will not care, or,
at least, dare, to quarrel with our
rulers. J. IS. MARTIN.
