There is more or less discussion in
political circles as to the influences
which caused Governor Roosevelt to
remove himself from the path of Mr..
Mckinley and to declare himself
strongly in favor of the latter's renomi-
nation. Boss Plat is credited with
having made the deal, which is under
stood to involve the support of Roose-
welt by the administration for the
nomination in 1904, as we'll as some fat
slices of patronage under the present
administration. Mr.. Roosevelt may
realize on the latter part of the deal oil
right, but there are several big "ifs''
in the way of his realizing on the first
part, the first and most important of
which is, if Mr.. Mckinley fails of re-
election next year, how can he help
Roosevelt in 1904.

In view of the enormous war taxes,
still being paid by the people, there is
no valid reason for the republicans re-
joicing because the deficit was only
$50, 900, 900 for the fiscal year, ending
June 3Oth, instead of being $23, 100000
greater, rs Secretary Gage estimated
last fall, that it would be. The Off
cial balance sheet for the year shows
that pension payments were 81, 800, 900
less than the appropriation, and about
100000 less than the payments for
the previous year, but pension agents
claim that this was on account of the
hold up policy Of the Pension bureau
and not because there was any reduc-
ton in the number of claimants for
pensions.

For instance, Mr.. Fl. M. Lanham said
civilian Goeble will be elected gov
ernor of Kentucky without q doubt.

One Tennessee Regiment.

Washington, July 4.-The war de-
partment in raising the additional
troops to be sent to the Philippines
will adopt the methods used in raising
the immune regiments in the war with
Spain. Tue recruiting officers will be
sent to the various states and the men
will be enrolled just as regulars are,
The plan is to raise these provisional
regiments proportionate to the popula-
tion of the states. For instance the
present plan is to raise one regiment in
Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi, an
other in Kentucky and Tennessee and
Arkansas.
The states, of course, will have moth.
ing to do with raising these regiments,
simply regular army officere will be
sent to the various states to enlist sc
many men. In commissioning officers
only those who have seen service will
be given to those serving in the Philip
pines.

AS the democratic state convention
Of Ohio, will not convene for some
weeks, there is plenty of time to talk
about probable candidates for governor
and it is freely taken advantage of
wherever few democrats gather to dis
cuss politics. There are a number of
men put forward as favorites, includ-
ing Kilbourne, Rice, and Haskell, but
the man whose name has been oftenest
mentioned in connection with the
nomination, during the last two or
three days, is John r. Mclean, the
owner of the Cincinnati Inquirer. One
Ohio democrat said of the probable
platform: "Ohio democrats are unit
eddy opposed to the policy of the Fed
eral administration in the Philippines;
they are opposed TO certain peculiar
features in the conduct of the Spanish
war; they emphatically condem Alger-
ism and all the dishonor and disgrace
implied by the term, and they are OPP
posed to trusts and similar forms of Or
ganized corporate wealth. They will
shape their platform along those lines,
and they have reasonable hopes of
winning upon them alone, although
other planks may be added to the plat
FORM" That the republicans of the
state do not feel the confidence they
express, was shown by the request
made of Mr.. Mckinley to come to the
state and make some speeches for
Hanna's ticket

The break between President Nc
Kinley and Secretary Alger. which
seemed almost at hand day or two
ago, has been postponed for time by
Pingree's denial, doubtless under in
structions from Alger, of the correct
ness of the anti-McKinley interviews
recently attributed to him by reputable
newspapers in Michigan and elsewhere.
But postponing it does not mean that
it will beavoided permanently. Notwith-
standing his public protestations of
loyalty to Mckinley, Alger is under
suspicion, and if he can prevent break
that will result in his being kicked out
of the cabinet, he will have to display
more diplomacy than he has ever been
credited with having in his makeup.
His retention in the cabinet was also
probably assisted by what Senator
Burrows told McKinley-that Senator
Mcmillan and himself would not ask
for Ayers dismissal, at this time, be-
cause they believed his remaining in
Che cabinet would be more Of benefit
than an injury to the formers candidacy
for reelection. One Of the results Of
McKinley's suspicion of Alger will be
that the latter will not be allowed 10
issue an important order or to make an
appointment until the approval of Nc
Kinley has been secured. OF course,
this approval has always been neces-
sary, but it has as a matter of course
always been freely given in all matters
pertaining to the war department.
Hereafter everything is to be scrutin-

Some time ago this paper made
the statement that the w. C. T.U.
in a certain town in the territory
had petitioned the officers to
strictly enforce the prohibitory
liquor law which they did, arrest
ing q man who had been found
guilty Of that offense, when the
same parties then petitioned the
court to use leniency. There has
evidently been some mistake
made as there has never been a
w. c. 7. U. in said town. 1t is
possible that there may be a few
white ribboners there, we hope
there are, but if so, they have nev-
er in any way been identified with
