Wheat stealers in Dickinson.

Abilene, Dec. 23=Wheat stealers are
causing much loss to farmers in North
east Dickinson, driving to the granaries
in the night and taking loads boldly to
market. Some of the wheat has been

yet in stack awaiting good weather for
the machines to work and thousands of
acres of corn are yet unhusked and can

The New York Campaign.

The New York political Kaleidoscope
moves rapidly and new combinations con-
stantly appear TO entertain the eye of the
outside observer Today there comes the
suggestion that Augustus Van Wyck may
not accept the nomination of governor ten
dered him yesterday by the democratic
state convention. He has a comfortable
judgeship and wants to enjoy it for twelve
more years He perhaps sees clearly down
the perspective of the coming gubernatorial
campaign Maybe he appreciates the exact
role he is destined to play. He seems an
ordinarily shrewd man, and If so his re-
lUctance to accept Mr. Croker's invitation
to head the ticket is not surprising and Is
altogether creditable to him. whether he
anticipates defeat or victory. Defeat means
to him the loss of both the governorship
ard the judgeship, and victory means a
humliating term of entire subserviency to
the wishes of the boss, with no certainty
of future rewards from him.
Another quick change In the situation
presents itself in the decision of the silver
democrats, now uncertain number, to
run an Independent ticket In behalf of q
straight-out Endorsement of the Chicago
platform. This is a logical outcome of the
silence of the Syracuse conventions plat
form on the money question. 1t remains to
be seen whether ii will have any material
effect upon the fortunes Of the regular re-
publican and democratic candidates. It is
not to be apprehended that II will cut much

Chaplain Mcintyre,

This foolish Chaplain Mcintyre, now on
trial before d court-martial for traducing
his superior officers in a public lecture,
seems TO be guilty as charged \ number
Of those who heard the delIYeranCe testify
TO the substantial correctness of the printed
report Of it. He did speak, they say, in
derugation Of Admiral Sampson and of
Captain Evans, charging the one with
ta.sehoud and the other with cOwardice
and he did declare the Oregon to be su-

follow II by asserting that no political

II may be that his head was turned after

complete possession of him and he was
tempted To ampiify and variegate those
editorial delIyeraEcos. forgetting that the
clap trap Of sensational journalism is no

The accused is a small mzn, and the

II is one of the gloTies connected with the
naval battle at Santiago that all who par

participating in the revolt are inconse-
quential and apparently draw whatever
support they enjoy from the up-country
districts.
Then comes the decision of the radical
reformers. to whom Seth Low addressed
such wholesome words of wisdom the other
day, to change the name of their party and
their emblem and to place an Independent
ticket in the field, on the ground that
Roosevelt's nomination by the republican
party has made him unavailable for the
Simon-pure good-government voters. In
view of the attitude taken by Mr.. Low and
Mr.. Root and other eminent leaders Of the
citizens union movement it is question
able whether this fourth ticket will cause
more than a ripple the surface Of the
political pond.
All these features, whatever their ulti-
mate outcome or bearing, contribute to
make the New York fight even more inter-
esting than usual.

Spain Adopts the Yankee Bugle.

When the American army approached the
Spanish lines outside of Santiago the bugle
calls rising from the invading forces here
and there could be plainly heard by the
enemy long before other evidences of ap-
proach were at hand The Spaniards were
particularly impressed by the cleaIness and
sweetness of the tones produced by the
American buglers. Later they lost some of
their admiration for these musical ex-
hibitiOns. particularly when they presaged
unfiinching charges up the steepest slopes
against the most calling fire. But when
the war was over. when the exciting Incl
dents of the siege could be viewed calmly
from distance, the sound of those clear
throated bugles came back to the Spanish
ears in reminiscence and thrilled the Span
ish heart with something like the tradi-
tional Castilian military ardor. The Amer
lean bugles used at Santiago were pitched
in the key of 'G." They led magnificent
army to a glorious victory.
Note now the echoes of those fateful
sounds of bugles calling on the Santiago
hills. A large American manufacturing g
firm making speciality of bugles ard army
trumpets has just received an order from
the Spanish government for $500 such
horns, to be constructed exactly like the
American army bugles. to be pitched in
C. with a slide to F." This number is
regarded by army men entirely too
large for the equipment of the Spanish
cavalry regiments now in existence but it
is thought possible that the Spanish army
officers were SO charmed by the notes from
the Yankee horns that they are going to
seek to make the c. bugle the national
ir strument and perhaps replace the guitar
with it. 1t becomes interesting to speculate
On the chance of confusion resulting from
the use of the same keyed bugles in any
fighting which may subsequently occur be-
tween American and Spanish forces 1t Is
related that in the first stages of the Cuban
rebellion the insurgents often, with cap
| tured Spanish horns, decoyed the Spaniards
into ambush, and on one occasion actually
precipitated 4 fight between two Spanish
columns.
Spain may copy the American bugles. but
she cannot reproduce the American hearts
which are inspired by their notes or the
American marksmen who are led by them
into conflict The &c" bugle isn't all.

Ia many in the saddle.

In the main Richard Croker had his way
at Syracuse. He probably did not dominate
the occasion to the extent described. He
certainly did not write the platform. a
task Ike that is entirely beyond his power.
But he iuggled the ticket together, and it
stands for him and his purposes. Judge
Van Wyck is described a reputable man
of good ability. but in the governors chair
at Albany he would be obliged to carry out
the Croker program with regard to the
state as sIavishIy as his brother in the
mayors chair in New York city is carrying
it out with regard to municipal affairs
From Croker he would have come, and to
croker he would naturally return.
The question then for the voters of New
York Is at bottom a simple one. 1t is
Croker. or anti-CrOker They must line up
on one side or the other. The suppression
OF the Chicago platfrom counts for nothing.
Thu silver men can get Mr.. Croker and

to Coerce them. a Tammany change of
principles is much more deftly and swift
" executed than a Tammany change of

want to support sound money for the ma
tiOn Is entirely plain Democrats, indie
pendents, and republicans ought not to find
1t difficult 10 get together in this campaign
and strike for the common welfare. The
only support to which the Croker ticket is
rightfully entitled is from those who put
party regularity above all other considera-
tions and are maneuvering for position in
1900.
The platform Is a curious mixture of
simulated integrity and patriotic watchful-
ness over public affairs. Tammany thun-
ders for honesty in office and offers to sup
ply the article. 1t likewise declares for
civil service reform, and It takes high
and almost holy ground on the subject of
Theodore Roosevelt's tax list. Tammany
may always be relied upon to come out
strOng-On paper-on questions OF prObity.
Another diverting touch Is the denuncia-
tiOn of President Mckinley for issuing COM
missions to civilians in the war with Spain.
This is designed TO help re-elect Edward
Murphy to the United States Senate A
bearer of one Of those commissions is Ed
ward Murphy, jr., appointed on his fathers S
recommendation 10 d captaincy in the vol
unteer army. He is serving in the Philip

home, foreshadows clear, consistent
vigorous course as premier, characterized
from first to last by a sturdy Americanism
well as by the breadth of view demanded
by the new conditions.
Mr.. Hays assumption of his new office
finds the President not yet ready to an
nounce the name of his successor at the
Court CT st. James. There is need of ex-
treme care in making this choice. Just as
Secretary Hay takes UP his new task at
time when that task involves unusual re-
sponsibiiities, so he relnquishes the am
basSadOrship at a season calling for equal
ability at that post. The new era of good
feeling between England and the United
States brings its perplexities as well as its
pleaSantries. There must be 40 OVERRIDING,
no stopping over. Advantage is to be taken
Of the opportunity for closer relationship
between the nations without prejudicing the
cause of Anglo-American unity in the eyes
of any section of either nation. A blum
derer at London now might destroy the
some understanding. A well-balanced man,
a diplomat by instinct or by training, a
thorough American, a statesman, an ap-
proachable individual. a student of men
and affairs, must be commissioned to take
up Mr. Hays unfinished line of work. The
President has thus the best of reasons for
going slowly and making sure of his choice.
His previous appointments to the foreign
service give assurance that when the new
ambassador is naned his selection will be
recognized as fit and proper, just as was
that of the new Secretary of State

Cleaning SANTIAGO.

Gen. Woods admirable work as military
governor of Santiago, as evidenced by a
publication in todays new columns is to
be taken as a guarantee of what can be
accomplished by the American genius for
organization and the American preference
for cleanliness, even against the handicaps
accumulated during the decades of corrupt
Spanish government. The whole story is
told in the simple yet alI-revealing fact that
as a result of Gen. Woods efforts at SANTA
tiOn the death rate in Santiago is now one
fourth of what it was in July, Immediately
after the occupation began. Santiago has
long been known as one OF the worlds filth
lest cities, and it is reassuring to find that
it has been brought to a state approach
ing healthfulness as "a result of diligent
American administration. There need now
be no doubts about the ability Of this gov
eminent or the people of this country to
rescue any of the former Spanish posses
sions from the grip Of epidemic disease.
Havana Will offer a relatively easy problem
after Santiago. Porto Rico need not alarm
any one L possible pest hole after it has
received attention for few seasons from
American engineers and officials. The peo-
pie are not to be trusted yet to organize the
right processes ca their own accord. They
are first to be shown the way to cleanliness
and health and then made TO follow that
path. 1t may not be that they will in a
single generation am erd their natures 10
conform to the American ideal of decency
in personal and municipal housekeeping,
but the emancipation OF the cities from
slavery to recurrent diseases will surely
have its effects. Gen. Wood has set pace
in this campaign against filth and sickness
which should be maintained.

Tactless and Resultless Independence,

We cannot sympathize entirely with Mr.
r. Fulton Cutting and the other independ-
ent gentlemen who have sought to put Mr.
Roosevelt in nomination before the meeting
or the republican convention. We quite
agree with them that il is well to yindicate
the right of the Independents to make nom
nations, ana to resent the attitude of the
party bosses toward free citizens Platt
and Croker do not believe that any other
persons in the state than themselves have
the right to put candidates in nomination
and so far as the independents action re-
Sents this lnSolence 1t is wholesome. But
there is another consideration. Mr. Roose-
welt wants to be governor, and wants to be
governor through the success of the repub-
ncan party, to which he is apparently much
attached. That Mr.. Roosevelt is a good
man for governor has been shown by the
action of the Independents themselves, and
the desire OF the people of the state to vote
for him for that office is pretty evident
Now, the Independent movement for Mr..
Roosevelt made by Mr.. Cutting and his
friends really imperiled Mr. Roosevelt s
chances. That the threatened danger was
not greater was due to the enormous popu-
larity of Mr.. Roosevelt but if the poIiti-
clans had had half a chance to throw down
this popular candidate they would have
done so, and would have seized upon the
action of the independents as preteXt
This is clearly recognized by most people,
who therefore regard the independents as
marplots. 1t is one of the essential ele-
ments of political success, and especially of
the success of Il new party seeking public
favor, that there should be popular conf
dence not only in the integrity but in the
intelligence of those who conduct the
movement Therefore the fact that the
voters generally look upon this action of
the Independents as a foolish and useless
attempt and as one likely to result in dam
age to the candidate for whom they want
to vote, Injuries the independent movement
| We believe in independent movements. We
want Independent movements founded upon
the idea that both virtue and intelligence
a in rl,1
action of Mr.. Cutting and his friends has
| invited unpopularity, and is the sort Of
| thing which for nearly a generation has in

A Leading Suggestion.


The Chicago Journal says that the NOR
tality at General FitZhugh Lees camp was
below the average at other military camps
and asks why. We suppose it is because
the Journal is democratic newspaper and
Lee is a democrat. 1t would not do to sug-
gest that General Lees ability as COM
mander could have had anything to do
with 1t. for that would amount to an ad-
mission that the camp commanders were
responsible for the condition of the troops
under them, and then it would be impos-
sible to lay all the blame on the Secretary
of War and indirectly upon the President
