wYMAN,s HOPEFUL VIEW.

Very naturally Surgeon Genera Wyman
feels gratifed that there are no cases Of
yellow fever in this country. Early in the
season he had some apprehensions prob
ably that there would be on account Of
the coming Of so many troops and so much
baggage from Havana and other Cuban
ports. But there is time enough yet for
the fever to make its appearance. If any
fever germs were imported IN The luggage
of soldiers or travellers, and they are in
localities favorable for their development,
The foyer may make it5 appearance there,
though it is hardly probable that it would
gain such Roadway as to amount to an
epidemic.
The surgeon general congratulates him
SELF on the good work done by the marine
hospital service in the way of disinfectns
the transports in which the soldiers We're
brought back from cuba and The baggage
of ihe soldiers No doubt the officers of
the marine hospital service We're very con
scientjous in the discharge Of their duties,
but we 10 moi yet know enough about vel
low fever 10 say that it has been kept out
OF this country this year by The care ex-
ercised by the marine hospital service. We
do not say this to lessen the credit claimed
for the marine hospital service, but sim
ply 10 emphasize the statement thai
knowledge of the fever is yet very limited.
If there had been a great deal of fever in
Havana last winter and spring, when the
troops were being sent home, and no
cases had appeared in this country up to
this time, there would be more reason for
thinking that our freedom from The fever
was due 10 the care exercised by the ma
rine hospital service. 1t is probable that
there came in with the soldiers many
piece of baggage and considerable cloth
ing which escaped thorough fumigation.
In support of the statement that we
know comparatively little about yellow
fever as vet it is only necessary to point
to the fact that there is a great deal of
fever at Santiago and none at all at Ha-
vena, and yet it is admitted that Santiago
is much the cleaner city. In fact, about
everything in the way of sanitation has
been done at Santiago, while comparative
ly little has been done at Havana.
Sometime no doubt we shall know a
great deal more about yellow fever than
We do now, but at present much of what
is said about 1t. even by those who have
the reputation of being experts in the dis
ease, is theory and speculation. The alb
sence of the fever from Havana thus far
this year cannot be due TO the sanitary
measures which have been taken, because
these measures are neither radical nor ex-
tensive. No doubt these have helped to
keep down sickness of other kinds, but
the absence of yellow fever is probably
due to something not yet satisfactorily
explained.

TRUSTS FROM A REPUBLICAN
STANDPOINT.

Senator Chandler of New Hampshire
has undertaken to speak for the Republi-
can party on the subject of trusts. From
what he says it is evident that that party
isn't going to admit that the tariff is re-
sponsibe for trusts. and isn't going to
consent 10 any modification of the tariff
on account of trusts. He calls Mr. Have
meyer, the president of the sugar trust
who declared that the tariff is the mother
of all trusts, a "Plutocradc Democrat"
Senator Chandler prides himself ON his
frankness in speaking on public questions,
and he is as frank as could be desired in
his discussion of trusts. In his opinion,
the Republican party win take a strong
position against trusts in its national plat
form, but will say that TO abolish the
principle of protection in the tariff would
be equivalent to striking deadly blow
al the great industrial interests of the
country.
What it will say is this: Congress must
deal with the transportation trusts and
the legislatures of the various states must
deal with all other kinds of trusts. State
LEGISLATURES will do this if the people want
them TO do it. They have the power to
do it. and therefore the whole trust mat
ter is in the hands of the states.
1t is not to be expected, of course, that
any Republican will admit that the tariff
is responsible for trusts, and it is safe to
say that Senator Chandler states the po-
stlon of his party on the trust question
correctly. The Republican leaders under
stand very well that it is about impossi-
bic to get the states to act in harmony
in respect to trusts, for the reasons which
Mr.. Bryan states in his speeches and
newspaper articles. Still, being rather
friendly to trusts, and depending upon
them for assistance in elections, they will
take the position that only the states can
deal successfully with them, and thus, as
far as the Republican party is concerned.
trusts will be permitted to become power
full and grow rich by robbing the people
of their substance.

porter,s Marvelous Memory.

One of the secrets Of the success of Rob
ert P. Porter, editor, tariff expert, su-
perintendent of the United States census
of 1890, and recently United States diplo-
matte agent in the West Indies and aft
erward in Germany, is his wonderful men,
ory for figures, says the Philadelphia Sat
urday Post. He fairly revels in statistics.
In his home in New York there are sew
eral rooms filed with volumes upon vol
umes of industrial statistics. Many of
these Mr.. Porter can readily quote from
memory. An illustration of this occurred
not long ago. A Chicago man was boast
ing of the rapid groeth of his city.
I'VE have 1000, 600 inhabitants now. You
gave us 100000 in $780, he said.
Not as much as that" replied Mr..
Porter The exact figures were 1O99. $50.
Your school census of 1892 gave 10000 "
The conversatio then turned upon New
York city.
you underestimate that also"
Eyes, we gave New York 1,515, sol, and
the state census of 1892 gave 1901, 739."
Where do you carry all these fgures?''
asked the Chicago man.
Il believe ! can repeat from memory
the best part of the important figures
in my census" returned Mr.. Porter.
"Can you tell me how many negroes
there We're in this country in 1902 asked
the Weslerner, with an air of triumph.
"There were 10000" repeat ted the sta
tistcan without a seconds hesitation;
land there were 107. 475 Chinese"
The visitor took down the census report
from the book shelf and found that Mr..
Porter had not made a single mistake.

There is no doubt that the hearty APP
plause which greeted the speech of ex-
Gov. Hoge of Texas at the Tammany
Fourth of July celebration greatly helped
the cause of Mr.. Bryan. Until that
speech was made it was not thought pos
sible to elicit I'M Tammany Hall enthusi-
astic cheers Horl Mr.. Bryan as the candi-
date and for silver as the chief issue
in 1900.
The Philadelphia Record, however
thinks that it is by no means certain that
Mr.. Bryan will be the Democratic candi-
date for President. 1t declares that there
are influences at work which are likely
to produce great changes in the views
of Democrats respecting Mr.. Bryan and
the silver issue before the meeting of the
Democratic national convention.
1t regards the refusal of a considerable
number of the members of the Democratic
national committee, when interviews were
sought with them, to come out frankly
for Mr.. Bryan as significant and it re-
CARDS as still more significant the fact
that some very prominent men, who were
for Bryan in 1896, men residing in widely
different sections of the country have
declared either against NIr. Bryan as a
candidate or against making the silver
question a leading one in the campaign
of 1900
There is, of course, great deal in what
the Record says. but as the situation now
presents itself Mr.. Bryan is as good as
nominated. Unless something occurs TO
interrupt the current of the Bryan senti-
ment he will be nominated with scarcely
any opposition. AS far as it is possible
to see now nothing is going to occur to
change the current of the Bryan senu-
ment.
Mr.. Bryan will be chosen. not because
the Democratic party owes him anything,
because it doesn't, but because he is the
most available candidate. If candldat tie
who promised to poll a larger vote than
Mr.. Bryan-a candidate in every respect
worthy Of the positon-were offered, the
Democratic parry would have no hesita-
ton whatever in dropping Mr.. Bryan
Mr.. Bryan is keeping himself before the
people, and he is losing nothing in pop
ularity. On the contrary, there are rea-
sons for thinking that he rs making
friends among Democrats all the time
When the state convention meets, there
fore, for the purpose of naming dele
gates to the national convention it will

A naval board has recommended that

The Kras- Jorgenseu. The rifle Of the army
y has been pointed out time and again
that it would be 70 the advantage Of both
branches Of the national defePse to have
the small arms uniform and the ammuni-
ton interchangeable, but it seemed to he
impossible for the army experts and the
navy experts to get together. 1t may be
doubted that the Krag-Jorgensen, is a bet

adopted by the European armies. but IT
