The whoops ofdeligh in the French
papers at the British reyerses were
just about what was expected. Among
the masses in nearly all the nations in
continental Europe there is strong
antagonism to England, and this feel
ing is voiced by the newspapers of
those countries. The Berlin Journals
are not taking any pains to conceal
their pleasure at the recent events in
South Africa. Nevertheless, France,
Germany rand every other nation in
the world will be neutral throughout
the war.

The Kansas City Star Ind.) observ-
es: The election is Iowa is an illustra-
ton OF what the republican party can
do when it keeps its politics clean and
honest and does not permit personal
squabbles to become more prominent
than principles. Iowa republican lead
ers are able, their methods are clean
and they do not equivocate on issues
nor adopt platforms merely for politi-
cal effect. The campaign in Iowa was
made chiefly on the issue of expansion,
and the result is one of especial sig
nifcance. The republican majority Is
one of the greatest ever given in that
state.

With traditional inconsistency the
democrats are bowling because the
United States is leaving the Sultan Of
Sulu in peaceful possession of his well
governed islands, while at the same
time they want this country to pull
out OF the Philippines and leave the
control of them to the would-be dicta-
tor, Aguinaldo. The Sultan of Sulu
seems to have some right to govern
his island, but Aguinaldo has no shad-
ow Of right to the government of the
Philippines.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.

The sickness of Vice President Ho-
bart has caused public interest in the
question of who would succeed him
in case his present illness should prove
fatal. The opinion seems to prevail
in many minds that it would become
the duty OF the president to appoint a
successor. On the contrary the success
sor of vice president or a president is
named by law.
The presidential succession is fixed by
chapter of the acts of the Forty-ninth
congress, first session. In case of the
removal, death, resignation, or inabil-
ity of both the president and vice presi-
dent, then the secretary of state shall

The triumph Of the Dingley tariff
