I YOU will notice that at Tammany's
" rally, day before yesterday, the
best-known of the orators gave
it to 'em straight. There was freedom
of speech and there also was heartiness
I'm the applause of the sentiment that
1t is the mission of the democracy to
uphold the principle that was made the
cardinal tenet of the party in the
campaign of 1896.
Grover Cleveland, David B. Hill and
ex-senator Murphy of New York are
among 1.-THE prominent people" whom
the press dispatch of yesterday morn
ing mentions as not present at the
Tammany rally. That is not remarka-
BILE; these and others were not present
when, three years ago. the roll was
called of those who proposed to stand
up and be counted for the regular
democratic candidate. That does not
alter the fact that 6,5o2s25 voting citi-
Zens cast their ballots for democracy,
for free coinage and for Bryan. three
years ago. , .+s
The press dispatch of yesterday
morning gave more than a hint that
the loyal talk heard in the Fourteenth
street wigwam was not exactly to the
taste of some of the leading Tam
many people" However that may be,
the outspoken talk in favor of keeping
the silver question right at the front
manifestly found favor with the multi
tude that made up the audience. In
fact, if the free coinage issue has been
deserted, you cannot prove it by the
testimony of any assemblage made up
of those who pulled true three years
ago. f".s
AS for Governor Hogg's part in the
Tammany programme. he protests that
it was not in his dreams to run coun-
ter to Van Wyck demonstration Evil

Those who at the eleventh hour
invited him to be one of the
tTammany orators did not sug-

1.-The result of what actually happened
New York was able to get a truthful
measurement of Mayor Van Wycke
relative strength in popular favor. And
this is the second test that has been
made; the launching of the Van Wyck
boom occurred on the occasion of the
ten-dollar dinner. For a time the pup
lie knew not which of the Van Wycks
Tammany proposed to push for the
presidential nomination. Events are
proving that neither of them develops
the right sort of strength.

scare heads" that actually
scared people. The bubonic plague
was especially feared by the masses
as being something strange, unknown
and mysterious. Its frightful spread
and the high death rate which accom-
panies it in China and India struck
terror into the minds of many thou
sands of San Franciscans, and the de-
tention of the steamer Nippon Maru in
quarantine on account of three sus-
picious deaths which occurred on the
vessel during her trip from China to
San Francisco was universally ap-
proved. Now that the quarantine has
by the health authorities to discharge
her cargo, the scare presumably is
over.
There need be no alarm OF an in
vasion of the bubonic plague into this
country. 1t is a fact that Americans
of India and China keep free from the
disease while the natives all around
them die off by the thousands. The
reason is that the Americans and Eu-
ropeans take the preventive measures
recommended by the medical authori-
ties-measures to which the ignorant
and superstitious natives will not lis

down fine" Inncculation with DR..
Haffkeine's anti-bubonic serum is eff
cacious both in preventing infection
and after infection has taken place
This innoculation has been officially
endorsed by the English government

In Bombay In two years beginning

ing in districts in China and Japan and
has recently made it's appearance in
Alexandria, Egypt. 1t has not invaded
Europe in many years. Although iso-
lated cases may find their way into
this country, no epidemic need be APP
pretended. The plague yields to treat
ment and the physicians will be ready

Still on Exhibition.

That the Standard said about
\" Alger two weeks ago still
holds good-the newspapers
find something new every morning and
fresh every evening to say about him;
and IL you can go through the columns
of the representative newspapers of
this country and find anything good
than those have who, in the news
paper offices, worry through the ex-
changes.
The Pingree affair opened up a
boundless field for the Alger para
graphers. They have not failed to ex-
measurement, actual miles of type
have been put into circulation, touch
ing the alleged Pingree-Alger combine,
within two weeks. And when it comes
a dull day and recent Alger antics fur
nish no new suggestion. the editors go
back to the old stock--it appears al
ways to bear repeating. For instance,
a new contribution, started by Bos-
ton Herald reporter, is quoted on that
newspapers editorial page.
John Sherman remarks the Her
aid, learned good many things about
Alger when he caught him buying
Sherman delegates in the national re-
publican convention years ago. And
we are thus reminded of an experience
that Herald reporter had in that con-
vention. He saw a colored delegate
hanging around the Alger headquar-
tiers. The man told him he would like
to see Massa Alger. / come up here,
he continued, ito vote for Massa Sher-
man. Dey told me dat Massa Sherman
was a good man, but some of our dele
gates say dey have been reasoned with,
and dey tink Massa Alger is a good
man, too. l jes fought ! should like
to be reasoned with, if I could find

tives hither and yon; we can take their
towns: we can patrol their rivers and
coasts; we can destroy their property.
But we can neither capture nor extermin-

and in making the attempt we do violence
to the spirit OF our own institutions as
well as to undertake an impracticable
military task.

AIgerisms.

In fact, Alger in the senate does not
seem SO very much out of place. His
presence would not be homogeneous
with the recent composition of that
body; the company would be in meas
ure congenial. If Quay's appointment
holds good in Pennsylvania and Mich
igan sends Alger the worst traditions
of senatorial debasement and turpi-
tude will be handsomely sustained
New York Times.
Will Alger declare war on the lum-
Der trust or the beef trust? If Ayers
antitrust plan of campaign succeeds
against Mcmillan, may we expect
Dewey. Steve Elkins, Hanna and the
senators from New Jersey to work on
the same issue? If all the threats
made are serious, and the wars against
trusts prove to be popular, there are
hard times ahead for the combinations

The spectacle of Russell A. Alger en-
tering the field as the prospective curb
err of the meat combination or the
smasher of monopolies like the former
Diamond Match company, Is enough to
provoke universal cachination on the
part of the remaining equine popuia-
ton of the United States. But it has

In boldly declaring himself the enc

Russell A. Alger has performed a feat
of valor as great as IL he had collared
the beef trust during the late I'M
pleasantness with Spain and openly de-
nounced the bad rations 1t furnished
to our soldiers in Cuba. The condition
of the country must be desperate in

John p. Newman.

" man, whose death is announced,
i was popularity known as
Grants pastor BY birth DIR. New
man was a New Yorker. He entered
the ministry in the Methodist Episcopal
church when he was twenty three
years old. He was a man of excellent
oratorical gifts and he served as pastor
of several of the prominent churches in
the Methodist denomination. In 1869 he
was assigned to the Metropolitan
church in Washington, and from that
year until 1874 he was chaplain of the
senate. In 1874 he was appointed in
spector of the United States consulates
in Asia, this selection being generally
regarded as a compliment which Presi-
dent Grant desired to pay to DR. New
man, who was an intimate friend of the
president and of the Grant household.
In 1885, DR.. Newman OBLIGATED at the
funeral of Grant; two years later he
was the officiating clergyman at the
obsequies of John A. Logan In the
days following the civil war no man
enjoyed wider acquaintance than DR..
Newman with men of distinction in
public life in this country. Many Of
those who now take notice of the an
nouncement of his death will remember
that he preached the funeral sermon on
the death of the late Senator STAN
ford's son, who was an only child. The
affection was one from which Senator
Stanford never fully recovered.
DR.. Newman was a warm and well
come friend always at the Stanford
home. His Grafton on the occasion of
young sttanforRs death was severely
criticised. 1t was almost absurdly eu-
logistic and by many of the critics it
was ridiculed. In fact DIR. Newman
was superfiuously ornate in much that
he wrote or spoke; the eulogy in ques-
ton was an instance in which unques-
tionab the boundaries set by good
sense and good taste were exceeded.
In the Methodist economy the church
holds what might be called a national
convention once every four years. This
gathering is called the general con-

From the Louisville Dispatch.
So far as precedents and political press
ure would permit him Commissioner of
Pensions Evans has held the bars down
against unworthy claimants. and for so
doing great howl has been raised against
him by pension attorneys and some Grand
Army organizations. Among those who
have been among his detractors is Gem
eral Henderson. who, it seems, is to be
the next speaker of the house. But we
are glad to say Henderson has not only
discovered that he has been in the wrong
but has come out boldly and said so.
