TO CHECK GERMANY.
This Real Object of Sending Warships to
the Pacific.

The navy department is about to
carry out its program arranged, some
time ago, for returning the Oregon to
the Pacific and for strengthening the
feet on the western coast. Secretary
Long said, that the Oregon would go
slowly to Honolulu and afterward to
the Pacific station. He said that the
bounds of the United States having
been extended, there was more neces-
sity for having stronger force in the
Pacific.
Whatever may be the present view
of the Secretary of the Navy, the ulti
mate purpose of the mission of these
ships seems to be the material strength
ening of the Pacific fleet. 1t is not
Spain as much as it is Germany, how
ever, that the navy department and the
administration have in view. No more
vessels, it is conceded, are wanted in
the Pacific or elsewhere to settle is
sues with Spain, if she should care to
renew the war. Dewey had a sufficient
force in Manila bay, and the Atlantic
feet could soon make it necessary for
the Spanish to keep their ships nearer
home than the Pacific.
But there is no doubt that the ad-
ministration is preparing for a possible
perhaps a probable-is with Ger
many. The Kaiser has his eyes upon
the Philippines, the Carolines, the La
drones, and, indeed, upon anything
that is eastern. Germany longs for
naval bases, coaling stations, and pos
sessions in the far east, and it is con-
sidered the part of prudence to prepare
for the time when this desire is sought
to be gratified, when German men-of-
war go on predatory excursions in
the Pacific.

DEATH OF THOMAS F. BAYARD.

The Hon. Thomas F. Bayard is dead.
He passed away peacefully Wednesday
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Sam
uel Warren, at Dedham, Mass. He
was paying his daughter visit when
he was taken with a severe attack of
Bright's disease. He became rapidly
worse and died as stated above. He
has held numerous positions of honor,
having represented this State in the
U. S. Senate for 16 consecutive years,
and was Ambassador to England from
1898 to 1897. He was prominently
mentioned for President by the Demo
Gratis in 1880 and again in 1884, being
defeated the first time in the Demo-
cratic Convention by Hancock and
later by Cleveland. He was Secre-
tary of State under the Cleveland ad-
ministration in 1885. He was the
younger son of the second James
Ashton Bayard and was born on Oct.
Goth, 1928. His early bOyhOOd days
were spent at home, but at the age of
13 he was sent to the school of DIR.
Francis L. Hawks at Flushing, L. 1.
In after years he accepted clerkship
with his brOther-in-law in New York.
He afterwards studied law, being ad-
mitted to the bar in 1851 and began
practicing with his father. He was ap-
pointed U. S. District Attorney for
Delaware in 1858, and resigned the Of
flee after serving one year. He was
without doubt the leading Democrat
in Delaware. He was married twice,
his first wife being Miss Louise Lee,
by whom he had several children. His
second wife was Miss Mary w. Clymel
of Washington, d. G. His interment
was made Saturday in Swede's bury
ing grounds, where his forefathers
rest. In accordance with the wishes o
Mr.. Bayard, the regular Episcopal ser
vice was used, conducted by Rev. DIR
Douglass, of Connecticut, who was 1
close friend of the deceased. He wa
assisted by Rector NJ. b. Dunlap
of Old Swede's.

Roosevelt for Governor.

The expected happened in Saratoga,
N. Y, last week, when Theodore
Roosevelt was nominated for governor.
He received the votes of 753 delegates
in the convention, while Governor
Frank S. Black received but 218 votes,
or only twenty-five percentum of the
total number cast. Then the nomina-
tion was made unanimous.
The candidacy of Colonel Roosevelt
was the result of a spontaneous de-
mand of the Republicans of New York,
and in the early days of summer the
general impression was that Governor
Black would be ere-nominated. At the
same time the administration of Gov
ernOr Black was not altogether void of
phases that weakened the chances of a
Republican victory. Colonel Roose-
velt's part in the invasion of Cuba, and
his past record, made him a natural
candidate. The opposition to his NOM
ination was to be found largely among
those who realized that if nominated
and elected Roosevelt would be COVER
nor in fact and not the mere agent of
machine. AS to the capacity, integrity,
honesty, intelligence of Theodore
Roosevelt there is no question. He is
still young man, but with record of
which older men would be proud. AL
ways sincere, earnest, vigorous and
courageous, he has been of value in
every position he has been called upon
to fill. With the exception of three
terms in the New York legislature he
has held appointive offices, and in
every instance his vigorous PERSONAL
ity made him strong factor for good.
Although not quite forty years of age
Theodore Roosevelt has made name
and reputation that extends through
the length and breath of the land. A
man of scrupulous honesty and abso-
lutely fearless in every respect he is of
that quality of man who improves the
public service. Whatever he has done
as a servant of the people he has done
Tor the best interests of those he
served. Never has he been other than
frank and outspoken. When he saw
what he considered to be a public
wrong he set about to right it so far
as he was able. His attitude has never
been misunderstood and he always has
convictions of his own. He is not q
blind follower, but instead leader Of
men. He is man of constructive
ideas and thus progressive. Always 6
Republican, he was never a narrow
partisan.

THE NEXT SENATE.

The United States Senate is COM
posed of 80 members, two from each
of the forty-fve States. In addition to
these there is the Vice-President, who
presides, but has no vote except to de-
eide tie. The Senators are divided
into three classes, and the members of
each of these classes complete
their terms at the same time.
On the 14th of next March the
terms of thirty Senators will ex-
pire. OF these, the following fifteen
are Democrats: White, of California;
Gray, of Delaware; Pasco, of Florida;
Turpie, of Indiana; German, of Mary
land; Money, of Mississippi; Cockrell,
of Missouri; Smith, of New Jersey;
Murphy, of New York; Roach, of
North Dakota; Bate, of Tennessee;
Mills, of Texas; Daniel, of Virginia;
Faulkner, of West Virginia, and Mitch
ell, of Wisconsin.
The term of eleven Republicans will
expire as follows: Hawley, of Connec-
ticut; Hale, of Maine; Lodge, of Mass.
achusetts; Burrows, of Michigan /;
Davis, of Minnesota; Hanna, of Ohio;
Quay, of Pennsylvania; Aldrich, of
Rhode Island; Proctor, of Vermont;
Wilson, of Washington, and Clark, of
Wyoming. The other four are silver
Republicans and POpulists, namely:
Mantle, of Montana; Stewart, of Ne
vada; Allen, of Nebraska, and Cannon,
of Utah.
The present Senate is composed of
forty-three Republicans, five silver
Republicans, seven populists, thirty
four Democrats and there is one va
cancy, that of Oregon. The outlook
for the new Senate is much more fav-
orable to the Republicans than to the
Democrats. The Democrats not only
lose more men, but many of their losses
occur in States which are pretty sure
to elect Republicans. On the other
hand, the States in which the terms OF
Republican Senators end are nearly al
Republican.
The Democrats have elected two Sen
ators for the new term; Money, of Mis-
sissippi, and Daniel, of Virginia. The
Republicans have elected three, Hanna
of Ohio; Aldrich, Of Rhode Island, ,ant
McComas, of Maryland. The lattel
will suoceed a DamOcrat and is tn.
first Republican gain. Indiana, New
Jersey, New York, North Dakota
West Virginia and Wisconsin will eacl
lose a Democratic Senator, with tn,
probability that they will be sue
ceeded by Republicans.
Not many years ago the Democrat
had a majority of the Senate. Tha
majority has disappeared and the mum
Der of Democratic Senators is gettin,
smaller and smaller. 1t has almos
come to pass that Democrats are onl,
sent to the upper house from tn,
Southern States, and the party is onl
able to do this by reason of the rae
question. Free silver has wrough
havoc with the party. 1t is not sur
prising that the Republicans are urgin
the financial issue and putting it int
their platforms.-BaltinaOre Sun.
