Campaign Schemes.

The New York political situation keeps
up its record for lightning changes. The
latest turn of affairs is especially interest
ing. 1t involves the possibility Of a crimi-
nal prosecution perhaps reaching as far as
former Senator David B. Hill. 1t affects
the prospects of the free silver democrats
and bears closely upon the fortunes Of war
in the approaching election. The state law
regarding independent nominations requires
that petitions must be filed from at least
5000 voters of whom at least fifty must
reside in each of the sixty counties. The
silverites recently went to work to secure
these names and succeeded in obtaining
more than 1900 signatures, covering the
ground as to counties In entire obedience
to the law. OF course the whole chain
failed il one of the counties should be miss
ed. One of them has been missed. and in
a manner which arouses the rage of the
Bryanites and eyokes their threats of jaiis
and things not pleasant for even "pract-
cal politician" to contemplate. The miss
ing county is Ulster. A petition was ac-
tually secured. with fifty-seyen names at

1t up until Cuba and Porto Rico have been
disposed of.
The United States will find it easy to pro-
ceed with its program without Spain's for
NAL assent at Paris If Spain chooses to
withhold 1t. We are already in possession
of Porto Rico. We are the masters at Ma
Mia, and that means the control of the
Philippines. Cuba is coming under our
sway, If a little slowly, still most surely.
The refusal of Spain to yield al Paris
would mean nothing but the assumption
of new role by her. We have seen her
in the tragedy of Pride and Blind Preju-

herself the modification of formally ac-

the United States to proceed with its pro-
gram in its own way.
This would present no difficulties TO the
United States. As matter of fact Suain
has already assented to the American
terms. The peace protocol, solicited by her
and signed by her. covers substantially the
whole case. Sovereignty over Cuba and
Porto Rico is relinquished by her in that
instrument. Nothing, il Is true, Is said
about the Cuban debt. but simply for the
reason that the United States, as Spain

kept beyond the laws reach, after having
succeeded in embarrassing the efforts of

lore him tends to strengthen the hands of
the government in its effort to distribute
us obligations incurred on account of the
war with Spain among the people of small

IN both the executive and the legislative
branches, was to issue a popular loan. to
keep the bonds out of the hands of the
large capitalists, the banks and similar in
sttutions. 1t was desired that thu, money
should come from the citizens of small

should in return go to them. This lauda BILE
intent was praised widely by all classes of
citizens, save perhaps those who in the

though every possible step had been taken

bends from falling into the hands of those

Three Points of Danger.

great deal of the anxiety existing in
sound money circles respecting the next
House grows out of the condition OF aHairs
in the three important states OF New YORK.
Pennsylvania. and Ohio. Sound money SEN
timent is largely in the majority there, and
ordinarily there would be no danger of its
miscarriage in the matter of voting for
congressman. But in all three of those
states this year unusual divisions exist. and
in one of them the fiercest factional fight
ing in which the republicans have ever in
dulged is in progress Local issues, it Is
true are responsible for this and only local
ends are aimed at but the danger is that in
the midst of so much warning and cross
firing the great national issue of sound
money may suffer.
The gravity of the situation Is best ap
preciated when it is considered that nearly
one-fourth of the entire membership of the
next House is involved. New York has
thirty-four members, Pennsylvania twenty
eight, and Ohio twentyone. Sound money,
legitimately. is entitled to nearly every one
of these eighty-three votes. In the contest
of two years ago it was very plainly de-
monstrated how the people of those states
stood on the financial question. and nothing
has occurred since to weaken their faith
in the cause for which they then gave their
verdict.
But in New York Mr.. Croker now soothes
sound money democrats by affecting to ig-
more the Chicago platform: and maay of
them will vote against candidates for Con-
gress specifically pledged to sound money.
In Pennsylvania the Quay and the anti
Quay people are at the sharpest swords
point; and it remains to be seen whether in
the cutting and slashing certain to take
place on election day national candidates
as we'll as local ones are not made to feel
the steel. And in Ohio, where both the Pres
ident and all for which he stands should
have special consideration, the Hanna Nc
kisson feud throws a shadow of uncertain
ty over the field.
1t will be a queer commentary on the
times II sound money this year should re-
ceive black eye through either apathy or
misadVenture in localities which in 1896
cast hlgh-watermark majorities in its ia
Vor. As before stated nearly a fourth of
the house is in scale shaken and threat
ened by unusual and dangerous conditions.

The Inquiry Into PoweIrs Escape.

1t would seem from the text of Major
sylvester report to the Commissioners
concerning the recent escape of the pris-
oher' Powel, indicted for murder. from sta
tlon No. 6, reprinted today, that there is
much looseness in the system of guarding
prisoners at some points, and that this af-
fair. as far as it has gone, should prove a
benefit to the police force. The main facts
OF the matter apparently are that there
was a misunderstanding as to what officer
was In charge of the station during the
temporary absence of the lieutenant of the
precinct that there was insufficient infor-
nation officially spread among those in the
station that a prisoner of Importance was
In custody and was to be taken to the Jail,
that the lock was insecurely fastened, that
the morgue-keeper was out of his proper
sphere of duty in the premises and that
the corridor door which shuts off the cell
room from the body of the station and the
street was earelessly left open. All these
facts are detrimental to the repute of the
precinct for efficiency and organization,
and, of course, affect that of the entire
force we'll. Major Sylvesters recon-
mendations appear to strike at the case
with warrantable directness. Had the pris-
oner gone entirely free undoubtedly the ac-
ton of the authorities would have been
more severe, yet the offense of neglect and
Indifference could not even in that case
have been more serious. The good fortune
of the police in later catching the man
does not mitigate the fault of those
countable for his escape from the station.
However it is to be expected that this
matter will sufficiently arouse the concern
OF those responsible for the discipline of the
force to prevent occurrences, at least in the
near future. By all means it should result
in the complete equipment Of the stations
OF the city with the steel gratings urged by
Major Sylvester, and also in the creation
of the post of desk sergeant. as he further
recommends Certainly some better sys-
TEN is possible than that which permits
the mix-ups like that at the sixth resulting
in PowelIs easy escape.

Americans Inspire Confidence.
From the Chicago Record.

The announcement that Bishop Hartzell
of Africa is on his way to Washington as
the representative of Liberia to ask the
United States government to take the negro
republic under its care and exercise a pro-
tectorate over it shows the high esteem in
which this nation is held by the weaker
peoples of the earth. They have confidence
in the motives of the American nation and
they want its protection to insure them
against aggression on the part Of imperial
istic powers
This trust and confidence In their govern
ment's integrity and lefty motives by the
weak and 1iberty-loving must be a source
of pride to Americans. They will insist
that nothing be done to weaken this faith
of weaker peoples in the high character of
their political aims and institutions

Some Deal Is On.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

All this effusive cordiality between the
German emperor and the Sultan of Tur-
key means something. So much money
would not be spent on the reception of a
Christian sovereign merely passing through
Constantinople on his way to the Holy
Land unless the Moslem entertainer ex-
pected to profit by it. The reported desire
of the kaiser to secure land for colonizing
purposes in Asia Minor may offer some ex-
PLANTATION. but scarcely a sufficient one.
The important meaning of it to the world
at large, however, is that Turkey and Ger
many are on the most friendly terms and
while these relations continue the position
of the Turk encamped in Europe Is Sc
cure.
