The Way They Must Run.

EFT was noticed that none of the
Tammany people were in the
conference group" So says a
press telegram of this morning in men
tion of the conference held yesterday
at Saratoga, for the purpose of pro-
noting the presidential boom of Au-
sustus Van Wyck."
Probably Tammany will put in an
appearance later on There is method
in the absence of which the press dis
.patch takes account; apparently the
promoters of the Van Wyck boom are
aiming to give it a Sara oga impulse
which shall seem to come from quar-
ters that are distant from Tammany
hall. Southerners were in evidence at
yesterdays conference: the list includ-
ed former Chairman Harrity of Penn
sylvania, and one Pacific coast man
was in attendance.
The public's memory is that the Van
,Wyck boom is not in robust health. 1t

tion at the ten-dollar dinner; it tainted

Fourth OF July-possibly it is lettering

months, for the benefit of the waters

However, let there be booms and
blooms. The starting of so many OF
them within democratic circles is the
best of proof that throughout the coun-
try the opinion is widespread that Mr.
Mckinley is going to have a run fol-
his money next year, and that demo,

IT'S all in the New York Press for
Monday of last week. 1t is about
mausoleums-and such. 1t is in
three parts.
In part one the Press says: "Our
millionaires, generally those fellows
who start with nothing and amass vast
fortunes, have just a big enough patch
of brains to memorize the lines in
Much Ado About Nothing"
Part two. in the comment we are
quoting from the Press, gives US a near
er view by calling attention to the
particular lines of Much ADO which
it has in mind. They are these: IF a
man do not erect in this age his own
tomb ere he dies he shall live no longer
in monument than the bell rings and
the widow weeps an hour in
clamor and a quarter in rheum."
Third part. the moral. Thus the New
York Press presents it: They accept
this literally. They will not trust to
their wives and children to build q
splendid sleeping place for paterfamil-
las. They know the ingratitude of
heirs Here's Senator Clark, a little
bit of a dried-up Irishman, just COM
pleting a mausoeum that will cost
over $4,000
What have the Irish done that this,
too, should be laid on their broad shout
ders? Good Lord.

- EXPANSION comes high. When
we were in the most costly era
of the civil war, more than
thirty years ago, the people of the
North faced with dismay the fact that
the preservation of the Union by force
and arms was costing about one million
dollars a day
We are engaged now in a conflict
hardly more dignified than one of our
Indian wars of recent times, a struggle
which in significance, as we'll as in it's
proportions, is pusillanimous in COM
parison with the civil war. Neverthe-
less it is a costly undertaking. July
was a month of pause, a thirty day
season which is a part of the longer
period which we must spend in idle
ness, waiting fvr the Philippine clouds
to roll by.
Yet by the official statement issued
from the treasury departments it appears
that this Philippine business cost us
about sixteen million dollars for the
month of July. Thus expansion projects
come high. More than half a million
a day is the present figure: more than
fifty per cent. per day of the amount
we spent when the Union army, during
| the civil war, was at it's maximum.
| Even in times of peace the military es-
| Enlistment is costly-in round num-
| bers the treasury spends for its main
| tenance about eight millions month.
The figures for last month We're s24,
| 3Sl 900; thus leaving about sixteen mil
| lions as the amount We spent in a
| month that was without military OPP
Grafton for the purpose of asserting our
title to the territory for which We paid
twenty millions. In business circles the
timehonored adage is, never buy a
| lawsuit Our government did much
worse than that-it bought a war en-
failing costs which no man can esti-
| mate.

His Chief Title.

/ UMoR, as a contribution to
~ passing political talk, has just
come from New Jersey. 1t is
furnished in the shape of an interview
with man whose name is Davis-he
is announced as the democratic boss
in Hudson county" This local boss is
amusing. His theory is that what the
democratic party needs. in anticipa-
ton of next years campaign, is union
and that Grover Cleveland is the man
who can do the uniting.
Grover Cleveland has his points Of
superiority. His chief title to endur-
sng fame rests on his ability as a party
wrecker-in that capacity he Is an ex-
pert without a known rival. 1t did not
need the uprising for free coinage for
the advent of certain amount of dis
harmony in the democratic camp.
Cleveland was busy at the work of
democratic disintegration before silver
was seriously considered a the part
ing of the ways. He was not able to
tolerate any democrats in public life
who could WELD influence or have
weight in party affairs; he proposed to
be the whole works.

record of it. Thus Cleveland was even
worse off than Andrew Johnson was.
Through all the cOmmotion that john

denounced him, he had loyal followers
in the senate, men known as johnson

Great British Columbia Fire.

Among the most devastating Of the
last great fires on the plains was one
in 1880. A prairie FIRE swept down
from British Columbia, across the in
ternational line into Dakota, until it
reached the Northern Pacific railroad.
At its greatest width. in northern Da-
kota, the flames were $50 miles wide.
over 1876 square miles were covered
by the sweeping fire. Passengers on
the Northern Pacific railroad had a
chance TO see part Of the awful fire,
and to this day there are those among
the passengers who say that the sound
Of the roaring flames and the enormous
walls Of tiaMe moving over the dry
grass in leaps and bounds, like red,
angry, believing, fiery surf, were ter
rible beyond description. For tive
days and three nights the flames coult
be seen raging il the north Of the rail
road tracks. The great tongues O
flame seemed to be shooting higher
than the ears and almost reaching
them, though they were really further
away than they looked, being held
back by the company's fire-break OF
burned strip along the track. There
was no sleep on tue trains passing
that fire, but the windows and plat
forms were crowded with the passen
gers, eagerly watching the rolling
flames. Antelopes, deer. prairis
wolves, foxes. i%ackrabbits and othel
animals could be seen in great mum
bers h%urrving before the flames ant
crossing thetrack. Il frequently hap
pe0ed that some Of them were run owe
