For Next Year.
rHAT Mr.. German will G

TNHAT Mr.. German will enter the
lists as a candidate for next
years nomination in the ma
uonal convention of the democrats
seems probable. The East, accepting
the testimony of men who are sup
posed to know Mr.. Germans intentions
is saying that his candidacy is one of
the fixed facts in current politics.
There will be others. Unless some of
the prominent New York democrats are
mere trifiers, Mr., German will have
Judge Van Wyck as one at least of his
rivals. To be sure, Mr.. Croker has sa d
within a week, in an interview that is
believed to be accurate, that It is too
early in the day to be for one favorite
or another. Still. it appears that the
recent Van WyCk conferences at Sara
toga have had serious intentions and
that the Van Wyck candidacy is a real
thing.
Somehow, it looks as if the Saratoga
movement aimed chiefly to make it ap-
pear that Mr.. German is not 10 be per-
United to stand as the South's favorite.
Conspicuous prominence was given in
recent press dispatches to the names of
democrats from southern states who
were declared to be earnestly enlisted
in behalf of Judge Van Wyck. That
sentleman's candidacy may be seri-
ously intended but, really. it will not
be easy to persuade the West that it is
TO be vigorously pressed.
There will be candidates next year
plenty of them. The war, in it's mis-
directed progress, is removing many
Mckinley illusions; every passing week
is bringing out manifestations of pub
lie opinion which indicate that the
second-term nomination which the Nc
Kinleyites lately regarded as a matter
of course is going to be the result Of
bitter er-republican contentious Mr.
Mckinley will be. nominated, Of

fixed purpose of the administration is
to continue General Otis in command
at Manila. The word sent and repeated
day after day from Washington is to
the effect that Secretary Root is set
ting all the pegs for vigorous autumn
campaign, in the belief that he can
wind up the war before Christmas.
But without exception these messages
to the public carry the assurance that,
up to date. Otis is solid with the ad-
ministration and that the command
will continue to rest with him.
Be it Otis or another, the attention
of the American public lis fixing it
self on the autumn campaign. The
popular hope is that the war will
he finished in accordance with Secre-
tary Roots anticipation. If the event
is found to justify the president in
clngng to his Philippine favorite, so
much the better. If the outcome shows
that the president was right and the
large public wrong, those who were
mistaken will make proper amends.
There is a curious sequence in the
events of this Philippine war. The adj
ministration plea has been that. any
how. wisely or fooishly, we are in the
war and we must fight it out. The
more recent plea is that Otis, for better
or for worse, is at the head and the
only way to do is to keep him there
and give him a chance to win out this

Montana veterans give as their testi-
mony is not unlike the comment made
by returning members of regiments
representing Oregon, Pennsylvania and
other states. The later criticism, how
ever, is aimed more directly at Cen
eral Otis-he seems not TO be in favor

is an abomination unto the Lord and an

IN NCOURAGING DECYSTOy.

The law limiting to ninety feet the
height of buildings around Cooley
square in Boston has been tested, and
the Supreme court of Massachusetts
says 1t is all right. Suit was brought
by the attorney general against the
builders Of the Westminster chambers.
The court holds that the law gives
rights in the nature of an easement over
lands facing Copley square, which ease
ment is annexed to the square for the
benefit of the public, for whose use and
enjoyment Copley square was laid out;
ana that these rights are similar in
their nature to rights in highways, in
great ponds, and in navigable waters
of the commonwealth For a depriva-
ton of such public rights an individual,
unless he has suffered damages differ
ent in kind from those to the public
generally, cannot maintain an action.
The attorney general as a public Off
Ger represents the public, and may
bring all proper suits to protect their
rights. The wrong alleged in the pres
ent case, If permitted, would work a
permanent injury to the public, depriy-
ing them of that which the statute
gives them. 1t is in equity to be dealt
