The msyoralty contest now going or n
New York is very remarkable one.
Tammany's nominee is nothing but Rich
ard Croker's choice. Van Wyck has no
claims whatever TO the place of mayor of
Greater New York except che fact that
ne 10 one of Mr.. Crokers pets and that
this political boss has determined to camp
him upon the city. In the same way,
General Tracy is the nominee OF Mr..
Plat. the Republican boss. Neither of
these men represent anything but the will
and behests Of two men who dominate two
powerful political machines.
The case is altogether different with the
other two. Seth Low, the Citizens candi-
date, represents the aspirations and the
sentiments of the conservative, progress
. slve and business elements Of New York
city-the men who have made New York
what IT is, and the men who will keen her
moving forwad upon her upward
and onv ard career il they are not
thwartcd and embarrassed by poll
teal vampires upon the ono hand
or by revolutionists who would
pull down whatever any progressive men
erect upon the other. Low represents all
the forces Of light and progress and hope
and endeavor. And. when the case Is thus
stated, ii ought 10 be ended 1t would
yeem the most natural thing in the world
that when this IS said, tho next thing

But Low is very far from having a walk

IN LIGHTER VEN.

Henry George IS confidently predicting
his election as Mayor of Greater New
York, which recalls the fact that during
the national campaign Of 1896 he was a
travelling newspaper correspondent and
predicted that Bryan would receive iarLe
majorities in Iowa, Illinois. Minnesota
and New YORK instead. however these
StGtes gave Republican majorities Of Co.
552; 1905; $3.50, and PCS ,4G9 respectively.
II Mr. George is not better prophet for
himself than he was for Mr.. Bryan. his
forecast is not worth much.
Blind Tom, the negro musical prodigy,
is now enjoying a life of ease in a COM
Portable cottage at the Highlands of Nave
bay. N. Y. He is in charge Of Mrs. Eliza
Lerche. who was appointed his guardian
ten years ago. At that time Mrs Lerche
was the widow OF John G. Beihune, who
had charge Of Blind Tom for so many
years, but she subsequently married AL
bert J. Lerche. lewyer. who fought her
legal battles for her.
Although Tom has made hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars during his life, when
Mrs Lerche took charge OF him he had
nothing. But she has managed now TO
save enough to keep Tom in comfort and
he enjoys his rest no little.
Tom is now an old man with gray hair
but Is stirl devoted to music and spends
most Of his time at the piano. lie is still
the supplemented fellow that he always
was and is nothing more than an over
grown child. In his old age, however. he
has become religious, never eats without
arst Offering a prayer. and on Sundays
will play nothing but church music.

THE EEPUBIICAN MISTAKE.

The Philadelphia Press IS gratihed that
some Of the Republicans in Virginia have
determined TO make a campaign this year.
Among other things It says:
without doubt the plan to carry on n
campaign in Virginia agrees with the
wishes of the great majority OF the Re-
publicans throughout the country. The
decision Of tho Republican State Com
mittee made a frw weeks ago TO take no
part in the election for Governor and a
Legislature this year has been received
with much dirfavor. The excuse made
that IL is use SIS for the Republicans to
wage n can Daign under present conditions
In that state was not considered salts
factory. II is true that the election Law in
Virginia places the control OF the ballot
boxes I'm the hands Of tho Democrats and
enables them 10 turn out any party ma
toritv they desire IT has been proved
also that the Democratic election officials
have taken such advantage OF this law
that there has not been an honest election
in the state IN ten years. This situation
IS well kr own.
But IL is Just rs true that the situation
will never be corrected voluntarily by the
Democratic party. and that unless the Re-
publicans mako their protest known and
educate public sentiment against the
wrong It will continue indefinitely.
The Press is sadly in error. n ballot
reform IS to come in Virginia, it must
come through the Democratic party. The
ieaven is working and we arc encouraged
to believe that a strong and n successful
fight viii he mado in the next Legislature
for a law TINT will insure free and honest
elections.
But tine Republicans can do nothing 70
the campaign which they now propose to
make will do the cause Of ballot reform
far more harm than good.

The Richmond (Va.) Times Is or the
opinion that independent voters VIII be
more plentiful in the South from this
time forward. IT says: "For their own

all elections, and self-prOtection IS the
first law of nature. But conditions nave

News.
Despite McKinley's unwise and offensive
appointments. conditions have changed.
The negro is moi as great a factor in
Southern politics as he was several years
ago. The rabid Republican sentiment
about the negro at the North has toned
down. and is slowly. but surely dying out.
There is a better understanding OF the
Isituation az it Is down here and more
sympathy with the Southern whites. a
force bill would not now be tolerated by
the Northern masses. This encourages
us 70 believe that the day will come when
the Southern citizen NAV vote his true

will b. heard from.
We have already said, however, since
tho above extract from The Times was

There Is abundant evidence that this
