NEW YORK.

New York, November 5-There are five state tickets in nomination in New York, as follows: Democratic republican, popu- list social labor and citizens union. The citizens union vote is altogether an un- known quality; that of the so- cialist labor party may approximate 10000, while the prohibition vote has not often been much in excess of 10000.
 Besides state officers there will be elected on Tuesday next a legislature that will choose a senator to succeed Edward Mur- phy, Jr., democrat. Thirty-four repre- sent atives in congress will also be elected. The republican campaign has been an aggress- i've one and notable for the energy with which Colonel Roosevelt has conducted his canvass. In one week--the last week in October-he traversed the state from east to west, and west to east, delivering one hundred addresses.
 Judge Van Wyck pursued a very different course. His public addresses have not exceeded ten and these were delivered at such places as Buffalo, Rochester, Utica, Elmra, Albany and New York.
 The democratic candidates for state of- fcers and for congress refused to be led
 into discussion of the currency or other national issues.
 The potency of New York city as fac- tor is shown by the fact that 1t casts near- ly as many ballots as all the rest of the state and there are greater variations in the party ties in the citl than up the State. TOT exdHpie III lo5o bidch, TepuD- lican, for governor. had plurality of 30.0H over the democrats of both the free silver and the single standard wings. while in 1897 the democratic judicial nominee had plurality of 95, 1854. There has been this year local diversion which may exert A marked influence on the vote of Greater New York This consists in the allega- ton that Richard Croker has sought to make the judiciary dependent upon his per. sonal will and pleasure.
 Both the democrats and republicans feel sanguine of victory.
 Colonel Roosevelt, after speaking in vac rious parts of the city today. closed his campaign tonight by making ten speeches to great crowds. Judge Van Wyck made his closing speech at Troy tonight. The executive committee of Tammany Hall held its final meeting before the election, today. and received reports from all the district leaders. The figures given out were that Tammany expects to carry New York county by 76000 plurality, and that the fg- ures from the other borough leaders led the committee to make the claim that the re- publicans must come to the city with plurality of 800 if they expect to elect Colonel Roosevelt.

OUR DEMANDS ARE
 WITHIN REASON Philippines Are Due America in Lieu
 Of Mar Debt. NOW A QUESTION OF MONEY SpaniardS Encouraged by Attitude of United States Commissioners. INTERVENTION BY FOREIGNERS A Contingency Too Remote to Be Con- sidered at Present-America's Duty to Aguinaldo and His Band of
 Philippine Insurgents.
INTERVENTION BY FOREIGNERS

Paris, November 5.-Referring to the peace negotiations between Spain and the United States the Gaulois today says:
 ''The memorandum of the Spanish com missioners extended to forty pages of closely written matter and included an ob- jection to the surrender of Manila on the plea that it took place forty-eght hours after the signing of the protocol or peace preliminary. There was also a re-assertion that the continued sovereignty of Spain over the Philippines was evidenced by the fact that this sovereignty had been re- ferred to by M. Cambon, the French am bassador at Washington, on the eve of signing the peace protocol and was not ob- jected to by the American diplomats at the time.''
 Continuing, the Gaulois says: "on the whole the attitude of the Americans has been encouraging to the Spaniards, and it is likely that an agreement will be ar rived at after the election in the United States, when the republicans will show themselves less exacting, bereaved of cleo toral exigencies. The facts will all point to this conclusion and indicate that the ne- gotiations will resolve themselves into sim pie financial discussion. It is hardly to be supposed America will restore the Phil ippines, as those islands represent sub stitute for war indemnity which America would be justified is demanding. Moreover 1t must be remembered the Americans have certain moral obligations to discharge in regard to the insurgents. Having encouraged Aguinaldo in his op- erations, they are to some extent obliged to see that the insurgents are definitely re- leased from Spanish domination.
 No Foreign Intervention
 "As intervention on the part of Europe, such contingency can only be imagined in case of there being clear proof that Spain and America were not alone interested in the matter. It remains to be seen whether the other powers, and Japan notably, will without protest see the new commissioner in the far east install herself in so import ant and so economic and strategic point
 The Matin says: "The point of the Spaniards is well taken. The Paris con ference was to confine Itself to single ob- ject establishing an agreement on the points of detail summarized generally in the Washington protocol. The Spaniards have kept Loyalty to the agreement and have not haggled in their engagement. The United States on the other hand has in- sisted upon submitting propositions alto gether outside the terms of the protocol, notably with regard to the Philippines"

A Quiet R,ab1lke.

The reader OF current items OF news
will no doubt, be struck by the follow
ing paragraph concerning the recall
from England Of the United States am
bassador, Colonel John Hay, which
comes from The National Review Of
London:
He has spoken well. but not too often;
he has ahstained from being more British
than the British: he has refrained from
fattery nor has he INDUCED in pOSt-pran-
dial gush: but he has missed no fair oppor-
tUnity Of promoting friendly AnglO-Ameri-
can relations, and has been emphaticaliy
the right man al the psychological mo-
ment.
This unkind cut at certain previous
American ambassadors who have felt
called upon to be more British than
the British" was altogether unexpected.
TO those who recollcct the cringing Hat
terry with which Mr. Bayard fawned in
the presence of an English nobleman,
it. will be gratifying to learn that Eng
lishmon, so far from admiring such con-
duet, have more admiration for the man
" attitude of Colonel Hay, who has
never felt called upon to toady to the
people among whom he has officially re-
sided,

Nj. Phelps and James Russell Lowell
outdid themselves in the English cut or
their clothes and their maudlin sub
seryiency to everything English. In

"The Case of Miles"

"The case of Miles is one which is
now about to become public issue.
1t must be acknowledged that when
the war with Spain broke out the coun-
try at large did not have very much
faith in General Miles He had just re-
turned from an extended trip through
Europe, where he had permitted himself
to be shown around as kind of mill
tary exhibit, wearing on each occasion
q different uniform. SO pronounced
did this characteristic become that 1t
was a standing joke about Miles's new
uniform, and the press was more con-
cerned with the question as to whether
the trunks had arrived than that of the
general himself But when the time
for seriousness arrived, the people lad
aside this little pleasantly and looked
toward the head of the army for the
preservation of the military honor or
the country. 1t soon became apparent
to even the most careless that. though
General Miles, as the ranking officer OF
the army, was its commander in chief,
he was really superseded by the secre-
tary of war, who ignored his rank and
dealt directly with generals of inferior
command, instead of through the regu-
lar military channels The development
was recently made that though Gener-
al Miles went to Santiago in his capac-
ity as commander in chief, and though
he was recognized as such when he got
there. secret telegram had been sent to
General Shafter advising him that he
was not to be superseded. This goes to
sustain the belief that a conspiracy had
been formed against Miles. In sending
this secret telegram the secretary or
war acted as q marplOt, and if military
disaster had resulted to American arms
he would have been the responsible one.
The American people are lovers Of fair
play. Even those who had the least
confidence in the military ability of Gen
eral Miles must feel outraged at the
treatment which he received. Mr. Me-
Kinley owes it to himself 80 get rid OF
his incompetent war secretary, man
who left the army of 1860 under a cloud
and VINO is now using politics with
which to get even with men whose duty
it was at that time to administer to him
the punishment necessary.

A Reunited Country.

In another column will be found a re-
markable article from the pen of Mr..
James Garrard Stevenson, of Chicago,
a prominent journalist in which he mar
rates the result Of a recent trip through
out the south.
Mir. Stevenson draws attention, IN a
forciblo manner, to the great trend OF
emigration which passed over the west,
thus developing that entire section in a
very few years. He then goes on to ad-
duce the familiar truth chat emigration
comes in waves. First the pioneer who
tills the virgin fields, who, when ne be-
comes crowded with neighbors, moves
further on; then comes a superior class
of farmers who do not rely upon virgin
wealth but add to their labor intelil-
genco and skill; while in the thIrd
stage the introduction of industrial
pursuits becomes a necessity. The pio-
neer stage of the south has passed long
ago, and so slowly merged into the sec
Ond stage as to be undesirable. Othcr
causes not necessary to recall prevented
a breaking up of this condition until
now, tho west having become surfeited,
industry must find new fields, and these
fields are to be found in the south. Here
we have a climate without excess of heat
or cold pure clear water, a soil remark
able for its varied character, capable OF
yielding crops of almost every known
product Of civilization, and with a resi-
dent population OF the highest character
cast in the nObleSt mOlds. full Of pride Of
ancestry and of community, and ready
and willing to extend a hearty greeting
to all worthy newcomers. 1t is this
favored section which Mr.. Stevenson in
PRODUCES to his readers, with an earnest
ness which bespeaks his own cOnyic-
ton of the truth Of what he says and
with an eIOQucnce which must appeal 10
the convictions OF those whom he ad-
dresses.
The Constitution, on behalf Of the
south, thanks Mr.. Stevenson for his eX-
cellent work. and assures him that all
who are led this way to seek their for
tunes through what he says, will find
abundant welcome.

A Bitter lesson Brought Home.

The review Of the social and political
conditions existing in North Carolina,
published in The Constitution week
ago. has had wonderful effect in open
ing the eyes Of the people of Georgia to
q danger which threatens them.
Out OF the political fusion between
the populists and negroes in North
Carolina has grown a generalization
which blishts not only public matters,
with nauseating scandal and corruption,
but touches the home and insults the
mothers. wives, daughters and sisters Of
the state. The whole system of state,
county and municipal administration is
v2ined with extravaganza, dishonesty,
inconvenience and moral deprayity
which Outcrops everywhere. Strange as
it may sound, a minority of ignorance
rules majority Of intelligence-and
rules viciously.
White men in Georgia are advising
fusion in this state between populists
and negroes. To the intelligent, con-
scientious, honest populists. we say:

A Sad Confession.

The tragic suicide Of Lieutenant Colo
eel Henri because of his participation
in the Dreyfrs complications, is sad
confession Of the weakness of the French
republic.
In extenuatiOn Of the act of Colonel
Henri IN forging the letter upon which
DreyTus was convicted, it is stated that
he was o soldier who had been taught
to obey; that to his mind "a hint was
the equivalent of a command, and that
when he understood that his superiors
wished a certain result attained, he was
but toe ready to furnish the evidence.
This confession that life in France-ln
republican France at that's still sub
iect to the within of a military or civil
officer, as it was in the early days OF
the eighteenth century, is not cr2dtabIc
to the Improvement which the world
has been led to hope for in the great
Gallo nation. Ii seems in the present
case that certain French officers, OF
whom Dreyfus was one fell under sus-
picon Of their superiors, and that CT
once they were railroaded through to
conviction, and the gates of mercy
through appeal were closed 10 them.
All this must lead to a revision OF
the modes Of military and judicial pro
cedure in France # it has this result;
if the people of France, awakening to
the fact that though they are under a
nominally republican government, it is
acting through laws which crushed the
people before their great revolution,
will thus lead them to have those
laws and customs vigorously set aside
for another and better CODE then the
suffering of Dreyfus upon Devils island
and the sad suicide of Colonel Henri
will not nave been IN vain

Ono Proverh and Another.

At what age a man should retire and
give the younger generation chahce
has long been a much mOOted question:
Because now and then an exceptional
young man FORCES to the the front with
some accomplishment which makes hlm
notable beyond his fellow men, the ten
doncv of the critical has been to declare
that each year the world looks more and
more TO its young men, and that the
older ones should feel it Il bOUndcn
duty TO make way for all the youngsters
IRRESPECTIVE of talent or accomplishment.
In other words. that this is becoming
more and more a young mans age.
once in awhile something turns up to
demonstrate that age is not a mere mat
ter Of years that men who ought by all
the rules be old. are. in reality, as young
and vigorous as many score years
their Junior: and that, in short it isn't
a question Of years but of the individual
We have been given number OF no
table evidences of this in the war with
Spain The St Louis GlObe-Democrat
calls attention to this fact in connection
with its declaration that one OF the
things demonstrated by the war Is that
there are many notable exceptions to the
old Droverb "Old men for counsel and
Young men for war Indeed, The
Globe-Democrat considers that the rule
has been turned topsy-turyy. To
strengthen its contention it recalls the
fact that most of the men who have fig
urcd at the head of things are nearing
the age Of retirement. Dewey, vino
should. of course. head the list, is sixty

tv-two. General Miles is hfty-nine, Ad-
miral Sampson is ffty-eght and Admir-
al SchIey iifty-nine, while Fitz Hugh
Lee is the oldest Of the l0t-siXty- three

and Iawton and Merritt are, all of them,
veterans.

tinguished themselves, of course, but
a great part of the glory goes TO the
older men, who. by all the arguments
of those UNFOLDING the progrcssiYeness
Of youth, should not have been in it at
all. They have. however, been decid-
edly in it, and they have shown that
they we're not only counseIOrs but fight

A Tribute to Admiral Schley.

Admiral Schley is undoubtedly the he
70 of Santiago IN the eyes of the people,
north, south, east and west. Sectional
lines are obliterated in the loyal esteem
which the whole country entertainS for
this gallant son of Maryland
Too modest to claim for himself more
than an equal share with other brave
officers in the credit of sinking CerVera s
fleet. Admiral Schley merely states that
the glory of that achievement belongs
to all in common. This avoWal does
credit to the noble heart of Admiral
Schley. but it cannot affect the estimate
which the whole country places upon
his brilliant work in making the glory
of that achievement possible.
We note, with keen pleasure, that
the citizens of Philadelphia in response
to the proposition recently made by the
Philadelphia Times are subscribing lib
orally to a fund with which they intend
to purchase handsome sword for Ad-
miral Schley. Several hundred dollars
will probably be raised for this purpose
before the list of October, which is the
time set for the presentation.

OF Admiral Schley declares him to be,

Another Republic Born.

Three Of the Central American states
have at length realized the dream of fed

several years past These states are
Nicaragua. Salvador and Honduras, and
they have Joined hands under the name
of the United States Of Central Amerl-
ca" Guatemala and Costa Rica still hold
aloof. but they will, no doubt, soon find
il to their interests to enter the fedora
ton.
OF the three Central American states
constituting the federation, Nicaragua is
the largest in territory and the small
est in populations With 10000 square
miles. it contains only 800 600 inhabi-
tants.
Salvador is just the reverse. Although
the smallest of the Central American
states in territory, it is the largest IN
population. With only 1925 square
miles, it contains 100000 inhabitants.
Honduras is almost as sparsey settled
as Nicaragua. With 43 600 square miles,
it contains only 10000 inhabitants.
Footing UP these figures, We find that
the United States of Central America
comprises 99,225 square miles of terri
tory and contains 1,579,578 inhabitants
In other words, it is nearly twice the
size of the state of Georgia, in territory,
although it is somewhat smaller in pop
ulatiOn.

The impression is strong among those
who have undergone the experience OF

great extent at fault These men claim
that the food given the soldiers was ab-

given out to them while the assuaged

that in consequence the men were in no
