CROKER ON THE COMING CAMPAIGN

Just before he started for Europe Rich
ard Croker was asked by the newspapers
of New York whether ne had made up his
| mind as to the proper policy for Tammany
| Hall TO pursue IN the campaign of 1900.
He said he could not speak for the organi-
zation but that speaking for himself he
was satisfied that if the Democrats made
the 16 to l idea the leading issue they
would fail in electing their candidate for
President In his opinion the money ques-
ton should be left to Congress for
settlement. He also SAID he didn't
think that one-hfth of the voters of
the country agreed with Mr.. Bryan's
anti-expansfon views. AS matter
of fact he doesn't think Mr. Bryan is
nearly so big man as some other men in
the Democratic party If he could have
his way he would make an antitrust
plank the leading one in the Democratic
national platform
But Mr.. Croker isn't anxious to keep the
Philippines He would favor a policy of
swapping them for the British West In
dies or a part of Canada, but not before
we have compelled the Filipinos to ac-
knowledge our authority. We must settle
all trouble in the islands before we under
take 90 dispose Of them.
Mr.. Croker undoubtedly expresses the
views of the leading Tammany Democrats,
and perhaps the leading Democrats Of New
York, when he says that the Democratic
party cannot carry the country on plat
form which makes silver at the ratio of
f6 to the leading issue. And it is prob
able that he expresses the opinion of many
Democratic leaders of the West The Chi
cago Chronicle, one of the great Demo-
cratic dailles of the West, in its issue of
Tuesday says: There isn't a Democratic
Governor in a Northern state. There isn't
a Democratic representative in the Senate
from any Northern state. With Bryan as
leader and 16 to l as an Issue there isn't
likely to be a single electoral vote outside
the old cotton states for the Democratic
nominee"
Are Mr.. Croker and the Chronicle of suf-
ficlent Importance as political prophets to
cause the Democratic leaders to hesitate
about making the 1s to issue the leading
one in the next national campaign?

The Cruise of the Raleigh.
From Leslie's Weekly.
out of the shining Indian seas,
Far from Manila's strand
Westward a steel-clad ship-of-war
Rides to her native land.
The sky Is blurred with her funnel-smoke.
Where fishers pull their oars:
OR hold their nets as they dream away
OF the slumb'ring Persian shores.
And the tropic waters have borne to her
The songs that the sirens sang,
Or the cries of the captives of long ago,
When the old sea-battles rang.
And the ghosts in the Roman galleys,
Chained to their metal bars,
Have watched the sweep of her flowing
stripes
And the crown of her silver stars.
Yea. the ports of the dim Atlantis
Have signaled to her in vain
CThey guard the hulls of another fleet
That came not back TO SpainD
And the gulls have plucked at her flashing
shield
AS they swung in her honneward flight
But they sank below in the running sea
As they crushed their breasts of whitel
Sailor, the guns of war are still;
The moonbeams glance across the foam.
And in their wake an echo falls
The twilight song of coming homei

One of the closest friends of Baron
Rothschild of Paris was Carolus-Duran,
the artist, says Harper's Round Table
During the entire course of certain large
dinner party the great fnancier noted
that the painter kept looking at him with
a most intent and peculiar expression. Aft
er the coffee and cigars, the Baron drew
his friend aside and said: My dear fell
low, pray tell me why you have stared at
me so peculiarly this EVENING""
"In tell you with pleasure" answered
Duran; Il am painting beggar for the
salon, and had looked all over Paris for a
suitable head to draw from. I've finally
found it. Yours is the ideal"
Rothschlld laughed heartily. and prom
ised to sit for his friend in suitable attire
on the following day.
During the progress of the sitting a
young artist, one of Duran's pupils, came
into the room. Naturally, he had not
been in position TO meet people of Baron
Rothschilds Importance, and so did not
know him; but the beggars miserable
rags, wan face and wistful expression ap-
pealed deeply to the young mans sympa-
thies. Waiting until his master was busy
mixing colors the pupil took franc from
his vest pocket and held 1t out behind his
back to the model, who seized it with
feigned avidity.
When the sitting was over Rothschild
made inquiries of Duran concerning the
phianthropist, and was informed that he
was student of great promise and at
tainments, but among the poorest of the
inhabitants of the Latin Quarter.
Some six months after this occurrence
the young man received note, which ran
about as follows:
Dear Sir-The franc that you gave in
charity to a beggar in the studio of NJ
Duran has been invested by US, and we
take pleasure in forwarding to you our
check for 1900 francs the principal and
increment of the same. Yours. ETC.,

A rrnmn.s Soft snap.

II was up in Vermont, near the Cana
dian line" said the tramp, according TO
the Chicago News, "and a farmer offered
to let me work for my board during the
winter. AS ne had a big woodDile at the
door and only a few head of live stock 10

thought it would be three square meals
Fer day, apples and popcorn in the even

had engaged with him there came snow

He pointed to a snow shovel and told me

and had just got through moving about
hundred tons of snow, when another fur
ry' took place. Two feet were added to the
eighteen inches. 1 had to go all over my
work again and keep open the road to
the country school house besides. My
back was still aching when there came
what was called the setting in of winter.
1t began on a Monday evening and showed
right along till Thursday noon. By that
time 1t was up to the second-story windows
of the house, and you couldn't see fence
on the farm. 1t took me two days to un-
a path to the barn. l was kent at. it for
twelve hours per day for ten days, and
during that time believe moved enough
snow to make good sleighing all over the
state of Rhode Island.
There is only one thing harder than
shoyeling snow, and that is saving up
hickory wood with duh saw. Gee-whiz,
but didn't my back ache O. nights 1 was
ready to quit the job, but l couldn't get
out of the country. There was seven or
eight feet of snow on the highways and
nothing moving, and so I had to hang to
the snow shovel. 1 wasn't quite through
around the house yet when another fur
ry' added foot to the depth. Then 1
thought it best to make a few inquiries
and I asked the farmer:
" DO you call this an unusually hard
winter?
"'Oh, no, he replied; this is what we
call an ooen winter
" How much more snow do you look
for?
Well, not over twenty feet.
Il had had enough of it," continued the
tramp. my figures showed that 1 had
moved $1,000 tons of snow, and that there
were ten times as much coming. One day
il rained for an hour and then turned
cold, and this formed hard crust on the
surface. Without saying goodby to the
farmer, started off, and though my
nose and ears were frost-bitten in getting
out Of the country, never kicked about
it. I had been tied to snow shovel for
three weeks, and I don't propose to do
another stroke of work as long as I live"

Savannah has been enjoying comparative
immunity from fires during the past few
months; but no such good fortune has fall
len to the lot of New York. The records
of that city show that there have been
1900 fires there during the last three
months-an average of twenty fires a day.
That is pretty severe record. Still there
is no talk, so far as the information goes,
of the Insurance companies having put
their rates up. A corresponding record in
a smaller city would probably have been
attended by an addition of rs per cent.

DEsPTCABLE JOURNALISM.

The effort being made by some Of the
Northern newspapers to make it appear
that all Of the newspapers of Georgia and
of the South condone the offense Of the
mob which lynched Sam Hose is SO con-
temptlble that il ought to be passed I'M
noticed. If il were unnoticed, however,
there might be good people in various
parts Of the country who would be misled
by the Islander. One of these papers which
shows that it Is more willing to Islander
the Southern people than to disseminate
the truth is the Chicago Record. In speak
ing of the Newman affair it says: THE
press of the state that seeks to condone
tuition, by diverting attention from the
crime of the mob to the crime of the vic
tins, is a disgrace to journalism" Fur
Their along in it's article it says: mo acts
of criminal negroes could do as much to
reflect discredit upon the South az has
this exhibition of savage violence by a
Southern white mob and its condonement
by the Southern press"
When the Record printed this stuff 1t
didn't know that the crime committed
by the Newman mob had been condoned by
the Southern press. 1t knew from the
Associated Press what one paper had said
In reference to the action of the mob but
Ii didn't know what other papers in this
state and in other parts OF the South had
said. and hence when it alleged that the
entire press condoned the violence of the
mob it scattered abroad a falsehood. And
it did 1t knowingly. Such conduct shows
degeneracy that is deplorable. We are
sure that nowhere in the South could there
be found such utter disregard of the truth
such willingness to Islander the people
of a whole section of the country
We have nothing TO say in regard tc
what the Constitution printed an respect
TO the Newman affair. 1t is well able to
take care OF itself. but We say emphatIcal-
ly that 1t isn't true that the whole press
of the state or of the South condoned the
violence of the Newman mob. AS far as
we have noticed only two papers In the
South have attempted to do so.

Commenting on the lynching of Sam
Hose, the Philadelphia Ledger concludes
a scathing paragraph with these words;
Northern men do not like to live in COM
munites where such practices are sun
ported by public sentiment" We hate
and abhor the crime of lynching as much
as the Philadelphia Ledger possibly can;
but there is just one little matter to which
We would like to call our contemporary
attention, namely, in the Associated Press
report of the affair Il was stated that one
of the men who lifted the can and poured
the kerosene oil over the negro was SUD-
posed to be native of the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania. In the special report
of the Atlanta Constitution it was stated
that the man announced that he was a
Northerner, as he raised the can and pour
ed the oil, but added that he was glad TO
take part in the lynching. We wish that

good people are always welcome-wouId

Miss Lillian Bell. author and critic. of
chicago has made a suggestion for the
benefit of that city which, with some
slight modification. would seem TO be
worthy the most distinguished considera-
tion OF the city of Savannah. What Miss
Bel said was this: Chicago needs goats.
II It is to become beautiful. A city can
never be even ordinarily handsome IL its
streets are not clean. A great many
goats could be employed to eat the waste
paper and the old cans and other articles
that litter the streets" Did Savannah
make mistake when she passed the anti
goat ordinance?
