AN OUTSIDE VIEW.

Croker has not been an easy boss in
these later years. With aff1uence has
come arrogance. He has made enc
mics wantcniy and some of them are
not feeble ones. Tammany men who
have had no open clash with him do
not like him His fondness for Eng
lish ways, sports and sportsmen has
not enhanced his popularity among the
Tammany Irishmen. His Van Wycks
have not proved a paying investment.
His recent lightning change to Bryan
ism is interpreted as a sign of con-
scicus insecurity and an effort to
strengthen his position. And all the
while, across the East river, that gray
old fox Of democratic politics. Hugh
Mclaughlin, whose organization is
only less powerful than Tammany it
self, watches him with attentive and
unbenevolent eyes. 1t will be a sur
prise to some observers if this time
next year finds Richard Croker the
boss Of New York-Hartford COurant.

NO TIME TO STRIKE.

The ship building industry lin the
United States) is just beginning to get
up steam, and all hands should work
together in harmony to help to win
the race, for the prize is worth having.
If the blacksmiths, anglesmiths pat
ternmakers, mCulders and other skilled
workers and members of unions should
decide to strike fer shorter hours or
higher pay they would create uneasi-
ness in the trade which would assured
ly work to their own injury. If CAPT
tai, which is now being drawn toward
this industry, should be frightened off
by labor troubles it is not likely that it
would soon return.
The merchants are now making the
highest wages ever paid anywhere in
the world Except in special localities.
like the Klondyke, where exceptional
conditions EXIST. They have no real
grievances, but they are being advised
''tC strike while the iron is hot" They
are being told by agitatOrs that all
their demands, no matter how prepOs-
to by the employers. This is exactly
what the English mechanics were told
more than year ago, and, believing
the statements, they laid down their
tools and inaugurated one of the most
prolonged, mast costly and most dis
astrous strikes ever known. AmeTi
can mechanics should know better than
to follow such advice. This is the
time to work-not the tina t. strike

Admiral Dewey's statements about
the mention of his name for president
certainly ought to settle the various
booms that every now and then have
sprung up in various parts of the
country. The admiral evidently is not
in the race for the presidency, but pro-
poses to remain the simple gentleman
and honored sailor he is. The adj
miral's remark that the politicians do
not know me- will probably SUI prise
some Of those gentry" and SO far as
drawing the hero of Manila into pol
itics is concerned, the admiral ought to
be allowed to rest. He certainly has
no intention ct permitting the poll
ticians to juggle with his name.

BERMUDA LAWNS.

The article on Bermuda grass for
lawns which evoked the interesting
and enthusiastic article in the Albu-
uueruue acknowledgements quoted in
The Republican of Monday presented
only a few of the many arguments
in favor of the use Of this
popular lawn producer. Bermuda
grass is a strong and rapid grower and
will live and thrive when other grasses
are destroyed by drouth. 1t gives
thick, strong, but soft and resilient
turf. and can he used much more freely
than can the turf formed by most
other grasses, whose shallow roots are
easily uprooted or crushed to death.
Bermuda has its failings. 1t turns
brown as winter comes en-. but that is
the time when lawns are not in use,
and the brown carpet, though not as
beautiful as the green, is far more
attractive than the bare ground would
be. Fhen in the springtime the Ber-
muda, quickly responding to heat and
irrigation. is ready to bloom once
more in all the beauty of its brilliant
green.
Another virtue Of Bermuda grass
which we never have seen noted in
print is it's cleanliness, which is
strong point in it's favor as a lawn

the bonds, by subsidiary guarantee
Of the Spanish treasury, and in the is
sue Of 1895 by pledge of the Spanish
customs. Such issues are in fact, in
law and as a matter of international
comfy a debt of Spain, as our govern
ment insisted they were in the nego-
tiations at Paris. OF course there are
certain other debts fer. legitimate in
ternal improvements and the mainten-
ance of government which should, in
equity, be a charge upon the country
by which the resultant benefits are en-
joyed. Reputation was inevitable. 1t
appears that the collective debt, all fer
Spanish outlay, under Spanish legisla-
ton and massed by Spain with the in
terror and exterior Spanish debt,
amounted at the close CT the war to
S2,26O, 900, 900. with a yearly interest
charge OF s95.00O,O0O, or about $50 per
year per family in a country where 80
or 40 cents pays a days wages. OF
this debt $449, $4,000 was the Cuban"
debt, as it stood February 1, 1898. The
action CT the cabinet is apt to be but
a beginning of financial disaster for
Spain. If all Cuban bonds are repudi-
ated it is difficult to see how the Bank
of Spain can keep alive a circulation 50
largely dependent upon the validity of
such securities.-Galveston News.

THE NEW BOSS.

1t may be comparatively easy to
overthrow Croker ultimately. He Is
on the run now and his prestige has
net before been so seriously threaten
ed since he became prominent in the
affairs of Tammany But to eliminate
the boss system will not be as easy
The elements that make the rank and
fide of Tammany do net know what it
is to do their own thinking They
are ready to rebel at times, but this
simply means a change CT leaders Or
bosses. The conditions, however, are
more hopeful for the SUCCESS of the
present effort than they formerly have
been. The new primary laws place
more power in the hands Of individuals
and invest them with more independ-
ence. IN time the new system will
have an educating influence, perhaps,
upon the meanest of the Tammany toI-
lowers; but time must be allowed for.
But the new boss, whoever he may be,
must exercise more discretion than
Croker has shown, because it will be
easier to deprive him Of his power. 50
there is legitimate work for the new
rganiZation.-BGs Transcript.

The suggestion of the SolomOnvilIe
Bulletin that a territorial fair be sub
stituted for the contemplated autumn
carnival is worthy of consideration.
Lack of time will prevent a change in
the carnival project this year. but next
fall a big six-day fair could he easily
arranged. A carnival feature could be
included in the programme and would
be strong drawing card. Arizona
should by all means hold an annual
fair at the capital and an association
for that purpose should be organized
during the coming carnival. BY com
bining these two events each autumn,
Arizona would in a short while COM
mand as much attention as southern
California.

RELIANCE ON DEWEY.

1t is this undisputed authority and
primary of Admiral Dewey among the
American people that invests his
homecoming at this time with vastly
increased interest and significance
When the earlier furry and rush and
enthusiasm Of the popular greeting
shall have subsidized the country will
look with confidence to this disting-
uished and capable officer fer a solu-
ton OF the difficulties which beset the
due assertion Cf federal authority III
the Philippines. The people believe in
Dewey, and his opinions and recon-
mendaticns will be accepted by them
as authoritative and conclusive His
bold and discreet official conduct dur
ing the trying period Intervening be
tween the naval victory off Cavite and
the federal occupation CT Manila, his
intimate knowledge CT the true situa-
ton in the islands and his proved ca
pacity as an administrator of public
affairs under new ard strange cOndi-
lions afford ample warrant fer the gen
eral anticipation that his appearance
at the national capital will be followed
by important resultS.-Philadelp

TAMMANY SHOWS IT'S HOOP.


The Grand Army of the Republic took
no part in the Dewey parade in New
York city The Tammany committee
had assigned the Grand Army men
to a subordinate place had selected
an officer to command them, and had
ignored the national commander-in-
chief Col A G. Shaw, a New York
man, not even extending to him the
courtesy of an invitation.
The Grand Army men declined to
parade unless they could be assigned
to the right of the line, the pcst Of
honor which had been assigned to the
national guard. Governor Roosevelt
protested against the action of the
committee in turning down the Grand
Army men. The committee ignored
the protests of the G. A. R. and the
governor, and in the great parade the
Grand Army was conspicuous by its
absence.
At the last Inauguration of dem
ocratic president Tammany Hall was
by its presence Patriots
the country are indebted
to Tammany for this act of superlative
folly which will be certain to strength
en- the hands of President Mckinley.
General Shaw is receiving the con-
gratulations of Grand Army men every
where for declining to submit to the
slight which Tammany attempted to
put upon the old veterans.

SPAIN REPUDIATEs THE DEBT

While optimistic Spanish statesmen
have insisted on several occasions that
Spain would stand to her obligations
nobody will be astonished to learn that
the Spanish cabinet has repud;ated the
interest on the Cuban debt, issued I'M
der the Spanish administration of the
island. The ordinary rule in the trans
fer of territory or the assumption of
independence is that the public debt
incurred prior to either remains a lien
On the territory This, however, has
had number of exceptions during the
last century, and there has never been
any doubt as a question Of information
al law that the bcna f1de character of
the debt must be taken into considera-
tion. AS the Philadelphia Press ex-
claims, Spain has always charged to
its colonies the expense of the army,
the fleet, the civil administT alton and
the diplomatic representation of the
mother country used in or in connec-
tiCn with the colonies. The Cuban
budget was charged with the cost Of
the army and navy employed in Cuba,
the Spanish minister in Washington
and the consuls in this country and
elsewhere in the new world. together
with the civil administration OF Spain
in Cuba. The Philippines in the same
way paid the Spanish army and navy
in the archipelago and any diplomatic
establishments CT Spain in eastern
Asia. Bookkeeping OF this character,

The Phoenix publications which
have so grossly libeled The Republican
by venting their spleen upon the board
of trade pamphlet will receive their
deserts outside the columns Of this
paper. A ''jack-rabbit" newspaper
cannot injure the business of any one
with impunity, much less that of The
Republican. These fellows in their
anxiety to show their hatred of a sue
cessful business proposition have put
themselves in a "hcle" from which
nothing less than the poor mans
oath" should save them. Their state
ments that the pamphlet being printed
by this paper for the board of trade
had been ordered destroyed owing to
faulty workmanship was lie pure and
simple and was intended to damage
the business of The Republican md

THE LOSS OF EUROPE.

Europe loses much in the moral ef-
facement of France, even though that
effacement is, as we trust only tenn
porary. When the common stock of
human honor undergOes a sudden di-
intuition, all mankind must feel the
poorer. When a people who have long
played a great part in history place
their personal freedom and civic rights
at the mercy Of an INSCRIPTIONS mill
taTy caste, the liberties of the world
suffer a sensible loss. The real trag
edy of Rennes is the tragical humilia-
ton of the French people. That they
are apparently blind to that humilia-
ton only makes their fall the greater.
They will have to pay a terrible pen
atty for their grievous error. The
"Great Avenger'' Of whom Lowell sang
may seem for the moment to be silent,
but history has taught US that sooner
or later an inevitable judgment over
takes the nation that has sinned, and
that the longer chastisement is delay
ed, the more terrible it is when it
comes. Even amid the natural scorn
and indignation which have filed the
minds of all of us during the past
week, there ought to be room for a
feeling of pity fer a people who have
laid up for themselves SO dread a day
of reckoning. Nor can we ever forget
that. even in the height of their de-
lirium of injustice, the French have
shown that they had among them 4
band of heroes who stood on the side
Of righteousness and truth at a time
when heaven itself seemed to have
turned traitor to the sacred cause. 1t
is in this faithful remnant of noble
and heroic souls that the only hope of
France can now be found-The Lon
don Speaker.

Why the Hogs Succumb.

Prof. John A. Craig, of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station, explains why the hog
succumbs so INCREASINGLY when over.
heated. The man or horse when over
heated soon has his body covered with
perspiration, and the evaporation OF
this at once begins to reduce his tenn
perature. Nature has made no such
provision for the relief of the hog
when heated by exposure to the sun
or by excessive exercise. This is rea-
son enough why it should have an album
dant and convenient water supply,
shade and convenient bathing or wal
lowing place, whether on summer pas
turage or confined in a lot, and have
plenty of green food that is laxative and
cooling.
