Washington. March IA cOmbina- tion is reported among New York dem | ocrats whereby Congressman Sulzer,
 eX-speaker of the New York legislature will be placed in the race for the dem 1 ocratic leadership of the next house | The politicians who are interested in the matter say that Sulzer will have all the New York and eastern votes, and
 that on the first ballot he will lack only seventeen votes of a majority of
 the democratic caucus. It is claimed
 that this shortage will be supplied on
 the second ballot.
 As far as it can be learned, this movement to elect Sulzer had it's Ori- gin in a desire on the part of the New York democrats to regain ascendancy in their party, and they will make this
 fight as the preliminary to the Presi- dential convention of next year. They say that if they can place a New York CT in the lead of the house they will have taken a long step forward, and will have demonstrated that their state must be regarded as a factor when the nominations are made next year It is claimed that Representative Bailey has agreed to throw his strength for Sul- ger should it become apparent that Bankhead who is his first choice, can not win. Two reasons are attributed to him as the basis of this action. He will not only defeat his leading rivals. Richardson and De Armond but will also have placed the New York demo- cratic leaders under obligations to him.
 According to the current story, MT. Croker is at the bottom of this effort to bring New York again into promi- hence and he has selected Sulzer be- cause the latter is the most available man for the purpose. MT Croker is said to have his own ideas as to who should be nominated for the Presi- dency, and his plan proposes to side track Bryan. Whether he can be sue cessful in preventing Bryan's nomina- uion is another question, but the effort 1 will undoubtedly be made. The first | skirmish will be the attempt to se- cure for New York the leadership of | the house, and if this is won, the lines will be laid during next winter for the control of New York upon the democratic party.

CHARACTER OF ALEXANDER


 Alexander II. was certainly not a rank-and-file man, says Prince Kro- potkin, in the March Atlantic, but two different men lived in him, both strongly developed, to struggle with each other; and this inner struggle be- came more and more violent as he ad- vanced in age. He could be charming in his behavior, and the next moment display sheer brutality. He was possessed of calm, reasoned courage in the face of a real danger but he lived in a terrible fear of the dangers which he conceived in his brain only. He certainly was not a coward; he would meet a bear face to face. and when one day, the animal was not killed outright by the first bullet. and the man who stood behind him with a lance, rushing forward, was knocked down by the bear, Alexander H. came to his rescue and killed the bear close to the muzzle of his gun q know this from the man himself): but he was haunted all his life by the fears of his own imagination and of an un- easy conscience. He certainly was very good-hearted with his friends, but that Sood-heartedness lived in him by the side of that terrible cOld-blOOded cruel ty-a seventeenth century cruelty which he displayed in crushing the Polish instruction, and later on in 1880, and of which no one would have thought him capable. He thus lived a double life. and at the period I am speaking of he merrily signed the most reactionary. decrees, and after ward became Respondent and actually erred about it. Toward the end of his life this inner struggle became still stronger, and assumed an almost trag- ical character.
