1t is highly probable that the rumors
of Hobarts retirement from national
politics, which have been rife all sum-
mer. are soon to be confirmed by Off
cial announcement. Vice President
Hobart has not been a well man fol
many months, His physicians have
warned him that he must take better
care of himself than he could if he were
to continue IN Washington official life.
He will therefore refuse another nomi-
nation, though the republicans of the
country would cheerfully bestow upon
him that honor. Hobart has been far
from fgurehead in this administra-
ton. He is man of great business
tact and ability. and in this business
administration he has been consulted
freely and frequently by the president.
Gossip concerning his successor in
cludes among the possible candidates
Gen. William F. Draper of Hopedale.
Like Hobart, Gen. Draper is eminent in
the business world. and he would be
an excellent successor to the present
vice president. Before Gen. Draper
sailed. he must have been notified of
the fact that his name might be used
in connection with the Office, for it is
stated in Washington that he frankly
told his friends that he would be glad
to receive the nomination.

VOICE FROM WARD SEVEN.
Wants the Hatchet BurIed-ln Man.
nIng's Block.


To the Editor of The Spy: After a
silence of nine years, we are forced to
deal with the political ambitions of pa
vid Manning, who has so often been a
disturbing element in the political arena
of ward Z.
However often this man may be de-
feated, does he think that ward Z still
REQUIRES his services? Why does he
now ask d second term in the legisla-
tureY Do the republicans of the ward
wish to endanger the party the loss of
seat In the Senate next year by graf
Tying the personal ambition of David
Manning, as was done in 1890?
Do the voters of the ward wish to
keep up this perpetual feud and thus
coming presidential year? Will this not
be the result if David Manning is nom
mated at the caucus tonight?
Is 1t this seat In the House he wishes
SO muchi Is 1t the welfare of the
city or grade crossing questions or
other questions? Is it not his ambition
to sit in the Senate next year? ~
Defeat can be taken by some men
with perfect equanimity, but to others
1t is bitter pill.
After repudiating this perennial as
pirant fer office, Is 1t wise to allow him
to thrust himself on the republicans
Of the ward again, renewing the old
animosities to the detriment of the
ward?
DO the young men of the ward who
have become voters during those years
deserve to have a fight of this kind
thrust upon them:
Is there no time coming when Mr..
Manning will Learn that the ward and
district are through with him? Must
we kee7 defeating him to let him know
that he is not wanted?
| contend that for the best interests
OF the party in the ward, Mr.. Manning
should be relegated to the rear once
more. and in the interest of the young
men Of tho ward, this year, of all years,
because II IS serious thing to con-
template the dangers to our party,
bound to follow the success of this
man, preceding, as 1t does, our presi-
Dental battle.
Think Of these things, republicans OF
ward Z; come to the caucus tonight,
vote for O man who has never mixed
up with or taken part in any of the
old-time feuds. A man who has lived
in the ward over TWENTY-FIVE years. and

Pensioners of St. Matthew's Church
Want to Clear W the Debt.


There was a large and enthusiastic
meeting at st. Matthews parish house
last night to discuss plans for the COM
ing big fair. More than rs were pres
ent, representing committees from all
the societies of the parish. Reports
from the various COMMITTEES were re-
ceived, and plans made for the vest
amount Of necessary preliminary work
incident to the giving of a weeks fair.
It was decided TO give package par
ty on October to raise enough money
to provide for the expenses incidental
to the fair. Each person who comcs
will bring package of unknown value,
which will be put up at auction to the
highest bidder. Also, everyone has 20

The big fair will be held during the
week of November 10 and will be
opened each evening and several after
Moons during the week.
The object is to reduce, or wipe OUT, ii
possible, the mortgage on the parish
house and the rectory which amounts
at present to about $4,000 Tickets will
be issued in a few days and given to
the societies for sale. AS there are
more than 1000 people included in st.

Of clearing several thousand dollars,

ARE AMERICANS ENTERrAryED

1850 ~-@fO A<4N XII dl4F Ell z
The recent statement by an English
newspaper that Americans are the
most emotional people on earth, and
that during the combined excitement OF
the Dewey home coming and the inter
national regatta, the whole nation is
verging on madness, is not so far from
the truth. We are accustomed to think
of the Latin races and particularly the
French as being the most lacking in
sef-control. We pride ourselves on our
reserve and our heritage of British i'm
plaeability. But it is seriously to be
questioned if there are not times when
to outside observers we do not present
the appearance of being an hysterical
nation
Dooley, the Archey Road philosopher
has pointed out that Americans were
far more wrought up over the Dreyfus
case than were the French themselves
1t amused him, he said, to sit in a quiet
Partisan cafe and read the black head
lines of American journals telling OF
Frances downfall. The late war fur
nished countless occasions where the
United States was swept from end Ia
end with waves of emotion. Every ma.
tional political campaign sees the
same state of thirgs. And it must b
admitted that the English journal is
more than half right when it hints that
for the next seven days the country
will be on the verge of Iunacy.
But an occasional attack of national
Mysteries is not so bad after all. The
European world, which until lately
thought that money making was the
sole thing capable of arousing the Am
erican people, will in the next few DAYS
see that the nation has other idols than
the almighty dollar. EmotionaHsm is
not bad If not misdirected. 1t is the
semi-frenzy that yellow journals, with
their exaggerated headlines and waste
full extravaganza of printers ink, some
times stir UP in their ignorant readers
that is to be dreaded.
But the festivities of Dewey week are
not Of this description. Now is the time
to show the world that heroism is lxing
over commercialism in the new world
The guest of the nation should receive
welcome that will completely over
shadow the display Of patriotism made
by the French on the occasion Of tbA
home coming Of Maj. Marchand, or that
of the British when the sirdar came 70
his own, on which occasion even tho
sedate Londoners caved in the hat of
their hero and necessitated his remove,
under a strong boeyguard Of notice
Dewey will be served in the same wav
when he falls into the hands of the Nor,
Workers. 1t is lucky the full uniform 30
an admiral calls for cooked hat as
otherwise his headgear would he
Knocked into that shape notwithstand
Ing, America will have a splendid ~
portunity of proving to the outs,ao
world that it has plenty Of emotional
ism, but Of the right sort.

ATTRACTIVE DISPLAY.
Richard Healy Shows the Latest In

In spite of other attractions, the

drew a large crowd last night. There
is something ,irresistibly attractive to

latest things in women's gear, and even
If many shuddered at the price of some
OF the exclusive foreign importations,
still 1t was a pleasure to look at the
beautiful creations and try them on
even for moment.
The store was brilliantly lighted and
every available space was banked
with potted palms. One reason for the
opening was to attract many patrons of
the music festival, who are now in the
city. The great feature of the fall and
winter trade will be the new tailor
made gowns which one can paw almost
any price for. The habit backs are
noticed on these suits, and they are de-
signed to fit the form closely so as to
bring out the contour OF the person.
Golf capes are being worn with the
plaid outside and a number of swell
garments were noticed without the hood

1t is to be hoped that the declaration
OF principles adopted by the National
Educational Association at its meeting
in Los Angeles, Cal, will find its way
into every school board in New Eng
land. 1t is a particularly apt time just
now. at the opening of the school sea-
son. when the question of competent
teachers is under discussion, to keep
in mind one particular paragraph of
the resolutions. 1t is to be commended
to every school committeeman in Wor-
cester county. The sssociation declares
itself prepared 10 accept the compile
mentary principle that Inefficient teach
ers must yield to the professional judg-
ment which asks their retirement from
the school; and they will oppose any
and every attempt, organized or other
wise, to protect such teachers in their
posts by influence. whether political or
otherwise. If the members only car
ry out this resolution, it will certainly
prove the most patriotic and demo-
cratic solution of the educational prob
lem.

The attempt of Councilman George, C.
Hunt to wrest the nomination as rep
resentative from John p Munroe in
ward 2 is spectacular but will not sue
coed if Mr.. Munroe's friends come out
to the. caucuses. Ward 2 has seen
many Garrison finishes in its politics;
in some cases it has seen the finish Of
the Garrisonians, as well. Mr. Mum
roe's service in the last session of the
legislature was acceptable to the re-
publicans of his ward, and there is no
good reason advanced by Mr.. Hunts
supporters why Mr.. Munroe should be
turned down, and the precedent of two
terms set aside.

1898. The losses in the great west were
so large that after deducting the light
gain mentioned, the net decrease for
the whole country amounted to 1,25O,OOO
head. This decline in the cattle BUSH
ness has been going on for 10 years, 80
that the number in the country is TO-
100000 head less than it was decade
ago. The cause for this is to be found
primarily in the failure of the pasture
lands, misfortune to which congress

the next session, for the department of
agriculture has been making a special
study of the phenomenon, and will rec
