" ard remarked that the recent
Jefferson dinners make it more
certain than ever that silver will be
the prevailing issue in next summers
national convention of democrats That
appears to be admitted by good many
eastern newspapers. The part of the
press still unwilling to announce this
admission Is made up of democratic
newspapers that deserted Bryan in 1896
they appear to be willing to do almost
anything rather than admit that they
went off wrong, and it is amusing to
see how ridiculously weak they are in
their present attitude.
Yesterdays mail brought. as a sam
pie of this kind Of newspapers the New
Haven Register Its solemn lesson
drawn from jefferson banquets is that
there is no possible hope of the recon-
ciliation of the two wings of the party"
The comical part of this New Haven
publications talk is paragraph
wherein we are told that there must be
"a return to the dignified traditions"
that We're democratic before 1896
Now if the democrats who were for
Bryan three years ago We're to give up
silver and return" what would they
return to? Acting as the democrats of
the nation, these supporters of Bryan
were the essential part in a total vote
OF more than six and one-half millions
polled in 1896. The New Haven Register
stands for a disloyal democratic ele-
nent which had Palmer-Bucker ticket

~ S matter, of course, the instant
it was known that Mayor
! Jones, of Toledo, was to be one
of the speakers at a New York dollar
dinner, the newspaper gossips began to
guess whether his ambition is the presi-
dency itself or the second place on one
of next years tickets.
Mayor Jones is a reformer. He has
just been elected to second term and,
in order to get into the race at all, he
was obliged to be an independent can
didate. But he was no novelty in Toledo
-he had served one term in the office
of mayor, and the people were SO well
suited with his administration that the
managing politicians couldn't stop him
when he ran without the aid of their
machinery.
Mayor Jones is warmly in sympathy
with some of the theories that were ad-
vocated at last Saturdays dollar din
ner in New York; he was the recipient
OF demonstration of marked approval,
and it transpires that, after this eX-
preston, the fellows who invent polit-
ical gossip for the newspapers wonder
ed more diligently than ever whether
first place or second place on national
ticket is this mayors ambition. 1t is
all idle gossip-if those who write it
knew more about Jones they would
write less about his presidential likeli-
hood.
That style Of chat is all we'll enough
when it is applied to Pingree or to Van
Wyck or to Harrison, but Jones was
born in Wales, and that settles it.

~ LENTY of evidence is present to
~ show that the volunteers at Ma
Mia are restless under the ar
Tangement that keeps them in service
beyond the limit of time which seems
to them to be just. The understanding
was that the end of the war was to
close their term Of service--indeed, that
was the distinct stipulation. The end
of the war with Spain has been officially
proclaimed; that the volunteers should
murmur under a detention that will
carry them into the season of Philip
pine pestilence is not strange.
1t appears that Governor Lind, of
Minnesota, has received a message
anonymously signed "Of1icers of the
Regiment which is a peremptory de-
mand that the Minnesota volunteers
be mustered out at once. Governor
Lind is reported as saying that he is
wholly in the dark as to the purport of
the message. If he applies for infor-
nation at Washington and if he gets as
little satisfaction as the governor of
South Dakota did, Governor Lind will
continue to be in the dark.
However, there is news this morning
from Washington that may serve to
clear the situation in its relation to all
of the western volunteers 1t is the set
tied policy at Washington to recruit
the regular army up to the limit of
thirty thousand men, the war depart
ment having learned that this total, in
the opinion of General Otis, will avail
Under this plan. the volunteers will be
returned home in the order of their de-
parture, last year. for Manila.
Under the present schedule, as will
be seen under Washington date, this
morning, the day for mastering out will
be a pretty long time coming-sailing
day from Manila, for the Minnesota
volunteers who have demanded imme-
dlate discharge, will not come until
June 90. But, at that the Minnesotans
fare better than the Montana boys-the
schedule provides that they shall leave
Manila July 10.
Meanwhile, this mornings news from
Washington announces that from now
out, all hands will keep on fighting the
rebels So that, what with the climate
and with actual engagements with the
enemy the Montana men, when they
get home, can truthfully say that they
have seen service.

The FilipinO's Character.

n NYTHING that throws light on
the character of the Filipinos is
interesting reading these days.
In an article in the current number of
one of the magazines a Spanish editor
of Manila tells what he has learned
through long residence with the ma
tives. Most of them, he says, can read
and write. The churches teach them
the rudiments of religion and morality.
and they show full capacity to acquire
that general tint of superficial culture
which is all that the great mass of
laboring people can aspire to anywhere
in the world" The Filipino does not
know the vice of blasphemy; he is not
quarrelsome; he is respectful to those
who display authority; ne is docLe ana
obedienr, although remiss in the per-
Torrance Of his duties: he bears his
punishment and believes it to be Just
when he is guilty of a fault. but he
becomes irrtated if personally assault
ed, and ''he awaits with rancor and in
cold blood the moment to avenge out
RACES done his person or his family"
The enervating influences of the eli
mate makes the Filipino idle and
slothful He is fond Of gambling and
betting, and for a days sport spends
that which has cost him months hard
labor. In his dealing with foreigners,
when he attempts any business what
ever, he is cunning and crafty and tries
to come out the gamer, to which end

In the state where the Register is pub
lished Bryan's vote was nearly $1,000,
while the Registers kind of democrats
polled only a trif1e more than 1000
votes.
Thus the demand that on the part Of
the great democratic party there be a
return to the tai-end contingent rep
resented by the New Haven Register is
not a suggestion to be seriously con-
sidered; it is simply comical.

Current Comment.
The Slay Reaching Out.

From the Dallas News.
While the remaining nations of Europe
are quarreling over the manner in which
China shall be Dartitioned Russia is
calmly taking what she wants. She IS
throwing emigrants by the hundreds of
thousands into Manchura. To all intents
and purposes she has already established
herself not to be shaken loose, to the
utmost limits of Asia Finland is taken
almost without opposition and toward the
south Russia seeks to environ the east
end of the Mediterranean. Along the
Afghan frontier, through Turkey, over
Greece she is weaving the web which
some day may trap the whole of Europe.
Lay bare the mind of Russia and there
will be found the dream of Slav sover-
eighty over the empire of Alexander and a
fixed purpose that has been followed for
centuries.

season" s t tns asl' "a one 1 is rs-
newed all over the country as
to whether wheelmen should carry
lighted lamps at night. The tendency
generally is to repeal city ordinances to
that effect. 1t has been found that
lamps on wheels on city streets are a
source of positive danger alike to bicy-
clists and pedestrians. With the hun
dreds OF bicycles with which the streets
are alive every night in summer, the
pedestrian would have a mighty hard
time of it trying to avoid the shifting

n 4 UN1cIPAL ownership of public
WI utilities seems to be steadily
gaining in popularity. In New
York city Mayor Van Wyck and the
board of aldermen favor a bill before
the legislature which authorizes the
city to acquire and operate gas plants.
Van Wyck is Of thu opinion that mu-
nicipal ownership of gas would yield a
handsome profit to the city. Mayor
Harrison of Chicago has also come out
with the declaration that the gas bust
ness Of the city should be conduct
ed by the municipality. Mayor MEG lire
of Syracuse is another advocate of mu-
nicipal ownership, and Mayor Jones of
Toledo is still another Jones says that

ship in public utilities Detroit has
already embarked upon a scheme to Sc
cure the street car system of that city.
In connection with this subject, the
story of Mrs. Lee, one of three women
members Of the Colorado legislature,
which adjourned few days ago, is op-
perfume. One hour before the final ad-
journment public utilities bill, which
provides for the purchase by municipal
tiles of water works and electric light
ing plants, was passed by the house and
sent to the senate for concurrence. Mrs.
Lee had doubts as to the intentions
of the clerk who had the bill in charge,
and when he started to go to the sem
ate chamber she followed him. He dis
appeared down side hall and Mrs Lee
gave the alarm. A throng of members
captured the would-be Bloor and he
was dragged back to the house, but
the bill could not be found. Fortunate
ly another engrosspd copy had been
made in anticipation of trouble, and
the measure was duly enacted into law.
Mrs. Lee evidently is an alert and en-
terprising legislator.
