A Democratic House.

What are called conservative esti-
mates" as to the results of the coming
Congressional elections, give to the
Democrats and all other opponents OF
the Republicans. a majority in the
House of Representatives of seventeen
members The most careful estimates
ara liable to error, especially in the case
of an election that covers the entire
country; but that the Republican ma
jority is in jeopardy no well-informed
politician doubts. The tremendous en-
ergy of the Republicans indicates that.
1t is impossible. of course, for the
Democrats to legislate on party lines,
no matter what success they may have
in these elections; and ordinarily they
would have good cause to deplore the
election of a majority in the House, with
the Senate and the White House in Re-
publican hands. Usually a Democratic
majority in such circumstances makes
a colossal fool of itself and endangers
party success in the succeeding Presi-
Dental contest. Now, however, there
are good reasons for hoping for Dem
ocratic House.
1t will be the duty of the Government
to provide for the enlistment and or
ganization of an enlarged regular army.
Primarily, this is in the hands of War
Department that has proved itself phe-
nomenally incompetent in matters of
army organization. if not positively cor
rupt. Places that should have been
given to men of military experience,
were bestowed on the unframed and in
evitably inefficient relatives, friends
Snd political dependents of politicians.
When this insane policy resulted in the
wrecking of an army and when ma
jority Of the Republican newspapers
called for a change in the head of the
department and reform of its meth
DDS. the Administration came to the de-
fense of the incompetents and imposed
ON the Republican press the duty Of
whitewashing the department.
These same incompstents. pushing
aside. snubbing and in every way dis
regarding the experienced commanding
general. Miles, are already engaged in
planning army reorganization that will
allow the politicians of influence to
fatten on favors. With Republican
majority in the House. they will be un-
checked in their shameless prostitution
of the military service, and the time of
war may come when, pitted against a
more formidable fee than Spain, we
may bitterly lament the popular con-
sent to the introduction Of politics in
the army. 4 Democratic majority can,
at least prevent So mad and destrllc-
tive scheme as the present incompe-
tent War Department has devised. 1t
can compel a recognition of the value
of General Miles knowledge in the
building up of a larger army.

JEAN Is SHY OF CHICAGO.
With Vile. CnIye. De Resxke Re
fuses to Sing There.

New York, Oct. 19.-Following the exam
pie of Eleonora Duse. Jean De Reszke
has declined to go to Chicago with the
company from the Metropolitan Opera
House. \ cable dispatch announcing his
positive decision has just been received
here. and his name has been consequently
withdrawn from all the announcements
in the Chicago newspapers. No explana-
tion of the Ienor's action has yet been
received here. All that has been heard Is
his positive refusal. under any circum-
stances. to appear again in Chicago.

vice by any stay-at-home editor whose
science or sense of decency. There has
been nothing in Colonel Bryan's career
as a soldier to warrant such an attack
on his motives in entering the army.
In common with every other regimental
commander in General Lees corps. and
like General Lee himself, he has been
allowed no opportunity to show his
qualities as fighting man in the war
with Spain. and is no more to blame for
this than they are.
1t is not known that Colonel Bryan
has been good deal more anxious to
get out of the army than to get in;
it is not known that he has made any
attempt to get out, although 1t would be
entirely natural for any man in his
place to do so. He has asked that some
of his men be mustered out and his re-
quest has been complied with, but that
he has himself applied for release is not
known to The Republican journals that
publish this abusive article. 1t would
be no reflection on his patriotism or
his courage if he should be restless
and eager for muster out. The Presi-
Colonel Bryan rolled up a huge vote,
has undertaken an electioneering tour,
extending il even into Colonel Bryan's
own State. If the Commander-inC Chief
of the army and navy considers the
elections this year Of such Importance
as to cause him to take to the stump.
it is surely pardonable if his opponent
should be restless when tied up in a
camp in Florida after peace has been
celebrated, the President being a guest
at the celebration.
The Republican newspapers are mis-
taken in speaking of Colonel Bryan as
the only political colonel Under one
meaning of the term We should have
10 include all the ncompetents-selecte
by Alger and approved by the Presi-
dent-who had charge of the quarter
master, commissary. and medical sup
plies, and of transportation at Santi-
ago, and whose incompetency and neg
lect were the destruction of mag
nificent army. Political colonels, in cne
sense, are a product of Algerism. But
in the sense in which the Republi-
can papers use the term. Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt is the one po-
litical colonel. He was in politics
before he was out of the service,
and after his acceptance by Boss
Platt, he was mustered out, being
Republican colonel. To aid in his
election, the President has consent
ed to make a car-platform stumping
tour of New York Colonel Bryan, rec
ognizing the obligations OF his military
office, has steadily declined TO talk poll
tics, and if, as the Republican papers
aIlege, this recent antagonist of Presi-
dent Mckinley is kept in the service
against his will while a Republican
political colonel is released from the
bonds, it is not very creditable to Presi-
dent Mckinley. Is it?

Perhaps Croker is supreme" in the
Democratic party in New York. as the
Republican newspapers charge. though
that is open to question. But surely he IS
not more supreme that Senator Platt is
in the Republican party. 1t cannot have
been forgotten that most of the party
newspapers were shocked because Govern
or Black carried his contest into the con-
vention after Plat had rejected him
shocked not merely by the uselessness of
appealing from Platt to Platt's conven-
uon. but by his intraetability. which many
of them considered treason. We do not

resolution was offered asking that
the board of managers be charged to
give $4,000 as an appropriation TO the
commission for the ensuing year. Bishop

insert instead the word urged" The
Rev. DIR. McKim, DR.. Greer of New York,
Bishop Kinsolying of Texas. and Bishop
Randolph of Southern Virginia, took part
in the discussion. The resolution with
Bishop Doane's amendment was finally
adopted.
