the director introduced me TO a quiet. Sc

Mr.. Croker understood, of course that
his announcement that he was against
the Philippine war and expansion, and
looked with favor upon Mr.. Bryan as the
presidential candidate of the Democratic
party. would create a sensation. 1t may
be that his views did undergo a change
in respect to Mr.. Bryan and expansion
during the two or three months he was
in England, but it is worthy of notice
that his sincerity is questioned by some of
his Democratic acquaintance. Those who
doubt the sincerity of his conversion think
that he is playing a deep game of politics
of some sort, though they cannot make
out what il is.
Mr. Croker doesn't seem to be able to
give any reasons for his remarkable
change of views-at least he doesn't give
any He simply says that he talked with
some very able men while in England,
and that he came to the conclusion that
President Mckinley was using the war
against the FIlpinos for the purpose of
securing a second term.
The understanding has been all along
that public sentiment in England was in
favor of our holding on to the Philip
pines, and that the policy that was being
pursued in regard to them was the right
one. II seems, however, that Mr. Croker
came in contact with men who held diff
ferent views and they convinced him that
it was all wrong for the United States to
attempt to assert their authority in the
islands.
If MIR. Cookers conversion isn't sincere
the fact will crop out in the very near
future. If he has a political motive in
changing his opinions so radically upon
two important political matters 1t will not
be long before 1t will be known what
the motive is. In the meantime it is only
Just 10 him to accept the change in his
opinions as sincere.

CURRENT COMMENT.

A story comes from Vermont of a candi-
date for Chambers seat in the Senate who
stripped off his coat, picked up a pitch
fork and aided an influential farmer in
turning his hay crop. Discussing this the
Charleston Post remarks: Senator TIL
man must look to his laurels, or rather to
his hay wisps, which are the proper head
decorations for farmer statesmen we be-
lieYe. There is an aspirant in New Hamp-
shire for BenS proud title, The Pitchfork
Statesman" This Yankee fellow, emf
nently practical all his kind are, goes
beyond Tflman in pitchfork politics. The
South Carolinian uses the implement figur-
atiVeiy only, the New Hampshire man ap-
plies it actually. Tillman must
save his reputation. This Yankee fellow
must be downed. And since Tiilman and
"BilI Chandler are good friends here is a
chance for Ben TO do turn for himself
and for his colleague at the same time"
The Philadelphia Record Dem.) thus
sums up the situation in Pennsylvania:
There doesn't appear to be any appeal
from Mr.. Quay to the party of which he
is an ornament. When Quay rejects Jones
and selects Brown Jones does not kick
he sits on the stile and grieves. Great is
Quay! But what shah be said Of the other
10000 VINO cit at his feet and take orders
whilst disagreement hourishes in Penn
sylvania?'
Discussing the future of the former
Spanish islands of which the United States
now has control, the Boston Post Dem)
says: "If it is to be solved in any man.
ner satisfactory to the American people, it
must be by such methods as shall extend
the egis Of our constitution over our new
acquisitions. Any other method looks
straight to absolutism, to class distinc-
tons, to the derogaton of citizenship"
The Cleveland Plain Dealer Dem) says:
THE Mormon missionaries strongly pro-
test against being interfered with in their
proselytug work They claim they have
as much right to preach their religion as
any other evangelsts II IL was only
preaching IL wouldn't be so Objectionable
but those eNcitahlc Southerners have some
how got hold Of the idea that the Nor
mons mean 60 practice what they preach"
The Macon News (Dem) thinks Macon
ought to have a tannery. II says; THE
statement Is made that the representative
Of Nothern house sold a car load OF
leather in Macon the other day. and az the
same time bought "a car load &C hides. The
freight on the leather coming and the
hides goins amounted 10 over Aloe ana the
feather and the profit might have been
made IN Macon"

AGAIN FORGIXEN.

Atlanta's mayor Is not to be impeached
at least at present He has con-
fessed second time and a second time
has been forgiven. The city council seems
to be composed of very tender heart
ed men. When the mayor was i'll in bed
the most of them appeared to b. fear-in-
spring in their ferociOus demand for the
mayors official scalp. The tone of their
talk was of a character to make The mayor
remain sick. Many of the good people
of atlanta thought probably that the
mayor would be forced out of his office
without a chance to explain or apologize
or make new promises.
But when the mayor appeared with his
confession and promises the councilmen
were just as meek as lambs, just as nice
as the mayor could possibly wish them
to be. They were ready to weep with
him. If he desired to weep in making his
confession, and to forgive him and give
him another trial, even without being
asked
It is probable the council took the wiser
course. The mayors term is more than
half gone. He Is no doubt very good
sort Of a man when he gives whisky a
wide berth, and It seems he did give it
a wide berth until his head was turned
by an honor a little too great for him.
He kept, a level head as long as he was
only a councilman, but when he reached
the dizzy hight of the mayonlty he
couldn't resist the temptation to fall down.
His two experiences and narrow escapes
~ -, III
TO walk straight for the remainder of his
term.
But what will DR. Broughton say when
he hears that the mayor has again con-
fessed and been forgiven? 1t was he who
originally accused the mayor of stumbling
and falling. Last Sunday he preached
in New York He told the people of that
city that before he began war on the
mayor Atlanta, on Sundays. was almost
as Goddess as New York. He said that
the good people investigated and found
that the mayor was largely responsible
for the immortality which prevailed. it
was, he said, a case of like priest like
people"
Dr. Broughton left Atlanta under the
impression apparently that the mayor
wouldn't be forgiven again. He will not
be grieved. however, by the councils &C.
ton If the mayor lives up to his prom
ises. The mayors fall from grace gave
DR.. Broughton an opportunity to come
to the front. If 1t hadn't been for the
Sam Hose lynching and the mayors jag
it is doubtful If he would have seen his
picture in the New York Tribune. We
don't wish to be understood a saying that
he sought notoriety. We simply mean
that the incidents We mention offered him
a chance to take a very prominent stand
on the side of law and morality, and the
courage and ability he displayed made him
known outside of Atlanta.

Washington has solved the mysterious
problem of the Conversion of Mr.. Croker
to the anti-expansion policy. The conclu-
sion has been reached there, and with
Washingtonians it is the accepted one,
that the convention was brought about
by ex-Speaker Reed, who is one of the
original nti-expansionists. Following
upon this Mr.. Crokers declaration for
Bryan is looked upon as quite natural.
Can it be that Mr.. Reed is trying to rub
