Another Bad Dose of 1t.

rHE Standards prediction was.
yesterday morning, that Sena-
tor Fairbanks of Indiana was
making a heap of trouble for the presi-
dent and for some other people. AL
ready that prediction proves true. A
press dispatch for this morning says
that at Washington the indications of
trouble between the president and the
silver wing of the republican party
were stronger yesterday than ever and
that. for this condition of affairs, the
Fairbanks talk is responsible.
In fact, the Indiana senator gave the
president away. He met some of his
republican constituents in conference,
at Indianapolis, and he brought a mes
sage to them, he said, direct from the
president who commissioned him to say
10 the Indiana republicans am GO
ing to keep the bond. ] am going TO
vindieate the sound-money plank in the
st. Louis platform. The president
never said ii to Fairbanks-for publioa-
ton.
And the little coterie of republicans
in Washington who faneied that they
could be silyerites and goldhug admin
istration supporters al the same time.
hearing what Fairbanks said in Indi-
annapolis, set up great cry as If some
strange thing had happened, Appar-
emily the administration will have To
hit these men with a club before 1t can
beat into their heads the notorious fact
that there's nothing for silver in the
Mckinley circle. How could the presi-
dent make his conclusions clearer?
What more must he do to satisfy this
little handful of senator's that they're
not in it,
Fairbanks is adroit. He is bitter
goldbug and an intimate of the pres-
dents. He wants the nonsense 10 end

Carter, because that will reduce the adj

senate, at the best. But these organs

tors. of quitting the administration;
rather, the administration has summar-
lily dropped them, and since the admin
istrations support is thoroughly gold
bug this policy will find popular gold
bug approval. The weak point with
these western senators is that, even
were they to stay with the administra-
ton, they could not give it majority
forces object.
Thus the men in the Wolcott group are
not nearly so essential to the admins
tration's purposes as they fancied they

In plain speech Carter. Shoup, Warren
and the western lightweights were
good deal bigger men in their own minds
than in fact they proved TO be. They,
and not the administration are the men
who are in the hole. They've had their
reward-they got some federal patron
age; the administration got them at
cheap figure. Their help was a good
deal more essential In 1896, when an cleo
ton was on, than 1t viii be in 1898. They
can neither make nor break the admin
istration. Their alternative is to be
nothing at all or come late in the day
into the silver camp-if they hadn't
gone into the foolish plan of trying to be
too cunning. they would have walked
out at ST. Louis, back in the summer
of 1896

is a POWER IN HER WARD.
Coiored Republicans of New York Ruled
by Woman.


As the populsts in Kansas have
champion in Mary Ellen Lease, SO the
colored republicans of New York city
have champion in Mary Ellen Hall.
Mary Ellen of New York is the only
colored woman iii politics in this coun-
try. wherein she has an advantage over
her Kansas sister, us there are scores
of white women politicians scattered
throughout the state. Mrs. Hall takes
the stump for the republicans, helps
them To carry primaries and elections,
and wages effective war on colonizers
and hallot-box suffers Though a coll
ored woman. born in slavery, her intiu-
enee is not only with her own race,
information in political matters. her
trict as well. who recognize her broad
keen Judgment and her abilities as an
organizer and worker. They credit her
with a tenacity of purpose that insures
success in the face of the greatest OPP
position.
Mary Ellen Hall has been in politics
quite as long as Mary Ellen Lease. but
she has never been quite as dramatic
the Western woman. Mrs. Lease
first deserted her domestic surround
ings to aid the fortunes of populist
candidates for governor, United
States senator and similar high Off
ees. Mrs. Hall ON the other hand long
has recognized Caleb Simms as her po-
litical star. Caleb has been janitor of
the New York state senate. In all the
fights for the colored leadership Mrs.
Hall has worked necessarily and sue
cessfully for the Simms standard.
Mrs. Hall is a fine. intelligent-looking
woman on the sunny side of so. and

relations he has introduced a bill
which provides for the purchase.
OF course, this scheme is one respect
ing which there may be differences Of
opinion, although it looks as if the
proposition to buy the islands were a
good one. But. in any event, the news
papers are entirely in the wrong that
eriticise Mr.. Lodge on the ground that
he is going away from republican policy
in bringing up the matter: he is, on the
contrary, advancing strictly along re-
publican lines. These islands received
specific mention in the st. Louis repub-
liean platform of 1896.
