srRoNG MEN AND POLITICS.

Richard Croker, in his wrath against
the men who insist that the judiciary
shall not be subjected to partisan in
fluences, is making some very ridicu-
lous statements. Stung by Bourke
Cockran's censure of his attempt to
punish an upright judge. Croker says
that Mr.. Cochran. who now poses as a
non-partsan statesman left the demo-
cratic party for that party's good
Croker is too shrewd a man, and has
been too thorough student Of politi-
cal history, to honestly believe any
thing of the sort.
1t is bad for any party when an ex-
ceptionally strong man who has given
it his support finds that in justice to
himself and his convictions he must
abandon it or oppose its course on any
considerable issue, Mr.. Cochran stands
head and shoulders above his former
associates, and such men as he will
always have large following. The
having once been with them, turn aside
from the path marked out by the
bosses, but it is folly for them to lose
sight of the fact that, as a rule, men
who combine intelligence with strong
convictions are not lacking in infiu-
ence. Men of Independent spirit are to
be reckoned with, always, and Croker
is bluffing when he intimates that

~FALLING PRIcEsp AGAIN.

The democratic argument, when
money matters are under consideration,
is the same as it was in 1896. Falling
prices and falling profits. That is the
substance of it, as defined by the leader
of the Massachusetts democracy OF
course, both results are attributed to
the decentralization Of silver" No ac-
count is taken of the fact that the de-
cline of prices began long before silver
had become an issue" or of the fact
that the prices of many things have
not fallen, but have actually increased.
The most noteworthy example Of in
crease is in wages of labor. The work
ingman not only gets mort money, but
his money buys more and better cloth
ing and food and better homes than
formerly. This can be demonstrated
statistically. AS for falling profits and
interest rates. they go side by side, and
are among the incidents of advancing
civilization. The older the country and
the greater the security of property
and investments, the smaller the re-
turns on capital. The eastern states
have emerged from the conditions of
a new country" the remoter west is
still new country and profits and in
terest rates rule higher there than in
the east. 1t would be as sensible to
argue against the rule of three as
against this economic principle.

4 REPuBLTCAN HouSE.

The New York Herald's Washington
correspondent reports a marked i'm
provement in republican congress-
ional prospects and prophesies
that republicans will surely
control the next house of representa-
tives. Scarcely more than two weeks
ago, the wiseacres were foretelling the
democratic capture of the house, and it
is of some interest to know the reason
for the change of sentiment. 1t appears
that the note of alarm sounded by
Senator Hanna and Chairman BabcoclS
has aroused the republicans in various
doubtful districts, and that the testi-
mony of Gen. Wheeler and Gen. Lee,
democrats and ex-confederates, has
gone far to stop criticism of the war
administration and allay popular dis
content. Another point of significance
is the dfsintegration of the gold de-
mocracy and of the populist party in a
number Of states, and the return of the
members to the party to which they
originally belonged. In the south and
east, this has resulted in democratic
gains, but in the west it has swelled the
republican ranks.
According to the Herald's forecast,
1852 congressional districts are surely re-.
publican, 124 democratic, populist, 8
silver without regard to party, and &c
doubtful. OF the doubtful ones, the re-
publicans are likely to carry 81, the
democrats IS, and the populists 8. This
allotment would give the respective
parties the following representation in
the next house: Republicans 1879, demo-
Gratis 142, popufsts and silver men 16.
showing a republican majority of Al
over all. The present republican major
ity is So. If the party suffers no worse
than this in an off year and in the mid
die of the presidential term, it will fare
remarkably well.
This forecast allows for no losses in
New England, but unfortunately Mr..
Knox is far from feeling assured of his
reelection in the 5th Massachusetts
district, though all others, including
Mr.. Barrows in the 10th district, are
reasonably II not positively safe. The
republicans, however, cannot prevent
losses in Pennsylvania, New York and
New Jersey, and must be prepared for
losses in Indiana and Illinois. If the re-
publicans hold their own in the middle
west they will do well. In Kansas and
possibly in Nebraska, the republicans
may make gains, as we'll as in the Pa
citic states. In the south, the democrats
come UP smiling as Of yore, and it re-
mains to be seen if the combination of
republicans and populists can over
come the prejudice excited in North
Carolina by the appointment of negroes
to office, and again shut the democrats
out of all save one of the nine congress-
fonal districts, three of which are now
represented by the republicans. Look
ing at the country as a whole, it does
appear that republican prospects have
distinctly improved, within few
weeks, and that the next house may
yet be ours, but probably by smaller
majority than the writer quoted here
indicates.

State at one or two cents apiece, and
even clear Havana cigars may be
bought in American markets for five
cents. Should this prediction be real
lied, the competition would affect not
only New England tobacco growers, but
the southern planters and the manufac-
turers in all parts of the country. 1t
would interfere with the trade in
smoking tobacco, and that would be
felt also in the middle and western
states. Smokers may have only hard
hearts and deaf ears for the plants of
the tobacco growers, when real Ha-
vanas can be bought for five cents
apiece, but the planters and manufac-
turers are apt to make themselves
heard in congress.

What the struggle Is Really About.
(From the London Saturday Review
The facts on which the Fashoda dis
pute is based are very much deeper
than is generally supposed. At first
sight it would appear as if the French
were grasping at shadow and disre-
garding the substance in pertinaciously
laying claim to an apparently barren
and unproductive spot while neglect
ing the fertile district of Bahr ell Ghaz-
al But this is by no means the case.
Fashoda is a point of incalculable i'm
portance to France, and it is cores
pondingly important that we should
Illustrate her designs in that direction
1t is her cherished project to make a
railway from east to west of Africa in
order to divide the continent and thus
prevent the joining of the two British
spheres (north and south) by direct
communication. With this object in
view she has obtained from Menelek
concessions to build a railway right
across Abyssinia, the line being already
in construction. 1t is essential to the
scheme that this line should be carried
through to Fashoda.
But it is equally essential that we
should retain F'ashoda, both for the
prevention of the plan-which would be
a severe blow to British interests-and
for the establishment of that cape to
Cairo communication which will give
us supremacy in Africa. The issues at
stake are so vital to both countries that
a conflict between them is, more SER
iousy threatened than most people are
disposed to think

BARBER POLES.
tFrom the S.. Louis cilohe.nemocra

(F'rom the St. Louis Giobe-Democrat.)
Three hundred years ago the BARRIERS
were also the physicians and surgeons
of the neighborhoods in which they
lived, and combined blood-letting, then
common practice, with shaving and
hair trimming. Brewer says that the
gilt knob at the end Of the pole repre-
sents the brass basin which was form
erly used by BARRIERS in lathering their
customers. The pole indicates the staff
which men who were being bled firmly
grasped in their hands to promote a
free flow Of blood, and the two spiral
ribbons, one of red and the other blue,
represent the bandages which were
placed round the arm after the opera
tioE Why the BARRIERS adopted red

who was obliged to wear a wig. She
was too sensitive to criticism or too
good-hearted to be willing to wear a hat
in the theater, and she was morbidly
afraid that if she took her hat off peo-
pie would see that she wore a wig. The
new theater continuance was first pre-
pared for her benefit, and now is offer

Possibly the women of New York are
so far in advance in civilization that

FRENCH CLUB Al HARVARD.
Plans For Choice Entertainments by This
unlaue Organ.zation.

Plans For Choice Entertainments by Thi:
Unique Organization.
The Cercle Francois, of Harvard uni
versity, is about TO begin work for the
coming season. This-rather unique or
ganization, popularity known at Har-
ward as the French club, was founded
some II years ago by instructors of
the French department and students
interested in that particular branch of
study, and has since then always oc-
cupied a prominent position among So
cial and literary societies at Cam
bridge
Its general aims are the greater Gull
tlYation Of the French tongue and the
wider knowledge of French literature.
Besides bi-monthly lectures by mem
bers OF the French department and
French professors from other colleges.
the Cercle has one special method OF
br%jing its work before the public.
This is the production every year OF
some classic French play, usually by
Moliere. In former years the Cercle
has thus produced Les Foufberies de
Scapin, Les Precieuses Ridieules, Le
Malade 1maginaire, and many other
plays which had never before heen in
PRODUCED in this country.
All the acting is done by members of
the university.
This year, on the nights of December
and 10, at Brattle hall, Cambridge,
and on December 7, in the Bijou the
alter, Boston, the Cercle will produce
two of the lesser OF Moliere's plays,
La Comtesse d Escarbagnas" and LIE
Sicilien." The plays are now being re-
hearsed with the greatest care. and
hf DIV !,
music and ballets exactly as in the
time of Moliere. Tickets may be had
on application to 504 Cragie hall, Cam
bridge.
BUT the most valuable work done by
the Cercle is the practice of bringing
over every year some eminent French
man to lecture at Harvard on subjects
connected with French literature or
art. One year ago a fund for this pur-
pose was donated by James H. Hyde,
of the class of 1898, then president of
the Cercle, and the first man brought
over as result of this gift was M.
Rene Doumic, whose lectures on French
romanticism, given last March. in San
ders theater, were much appreciated.
This year the Cercle has secured the
eminent critic and novelist, Edouarl
Rod. NJ Rod was born in Geneva, in
1857, and was for some time a profes-
sor at the university there Going to
Paris. he began TO write novels, and

When Charles A. Dana, whose pen
was pointed and whose temper retained
its edge to the last, Joined the majority,
many lovers Of vigorous English feared
that the gentle art of haying friends
and enemies with strict and charming
impartiality was lost. Possibly they
were right, and certainly no one has
been able to equal Mr. Dana's gentle
ness Of touch in the performance of
capital operations. but William Win
ter, the venerable and eminent drama
tic critic, is doing his best to fill the
gap. Hall Game, angered by Mr. Win
ter's sharp criticism of mis- new play,
allowed himself to call the critic "old,
poor, impecunious, fossilized, stupid
and dishonest" and to this Mr. Win
ter retorts: Mr. Game registers him
self as gathering rhapsodist, fiatu-
lent with the wind of doctrine and gid
dy with self-conceit." Were Mr. Win
ter a young man there would be fine
promise in this, and we may at least
hope that he may be spared for many
wears.
