A GLOOMY AIKINUEY ORGAN.
(New Orleans States)

The New York Press n Republican
newspaper which has a large circua-
ton in the city and State. is not In
clined to regard the political situation
as at all satisfactory from n party
point of view, hut on the contrary it
has much reason to believe that Ger
tam elements that supported Mckinley
In 1896 Will not support him this year.
1t expresses the opinion that II will
not make much difference what the
pla tform of the New York Democrats
is or the Kansas City platform may be.
but the things that are going to count
are the business. Industrial and labor
situation and the confidence or lack of
confidence of the voters in Republican
rule.
There will be-" says the Press. per
scnal elements In the canvass. So far
as they are concerned we think the
Republican party will suffer, and we
see no reason why we should fool our
selves about it. Among Republican
voters generally in New York we are
convinced there is dissatisfaction with
both the national administration and
the State administration for the dis
appointing, nay. humiliating degrade
tioc1 of the party to the bosses. This Is
going to hurt. and 1t is going to hurt
a great deal more than we like to
think" Continuing. the Press SAYS:
There IS going 10 be tremendous
falling away from the ballots given to
Mckinley in 1896 If we do not admit
that we only dclude ourselves into the
possibility, If not the probability, of
destruction. Tens of thousands of
Democrats who four years ago joined
the Republican resistance to the Bryan
invasion will not vote with us again.

ems is Governor of Missouri and Steu-

crat. The Courant is Republican.
Democrats are not turning their eyes
with pride or joy towards either. To
them composite of Stcunenberg and
Stephens would be a more attractive
figure. Steunenberg's "bullpens" and

NOTES AND OPINIONS.
A. FAR-RDACHING CONTROVERSY
Savannah News)


It looks as If the Simpsons chley
controversy would play n part in the
selection OF a Republican candidate for
Vice President 1t is known that many
of the leading Republicans think that
Mr.. Long the Secretary of the Navy,
would be the strongest candidate their
party could nominate for that office.
Mr.. Long has said that while he did not
seek the nomination, he would accept
1t II 1t were offered to HIM.
1t seems. however. that the opinion Is
held by other Republican leaders that
the nomination of Mr.. Long would DE
the weakest that could he made on a'c-
count of his connection with the Samp-
son-Schley controversy. The Times
Herald of Chicago, for instance. says:
How can the. Republicans best help
the Democrats to carry New York and
other of the States named?
BY nominating John d. Long for
vice President. That would inject the
Simpsons chley issue into the contro-
versy and present Maryland TO Bryan
osl 16 to silver salver. That 1t
would also so far to help him to the
thirty-siS electoral votes of New York
is the belief OF all those who remember
the difference in New Yorks greeting
or Admirals Schley and Sampson at
the Dewey reception last fall"

MIR. j. r Arbuckle. OF New York
City Will shortly institute a novel en-
terprlsc. He has chartered four vessels
which will run out TO sea thirty or
forty miles every night with those who
care to go. returning in the morning in
time for breakfast. Those who long for
sea air will be charged reasonable rates
for accommodations on board. The
boats arc expected to he largely pa
tronized by business men who cannot
get away for n vacation at the resorts.
Mr.. Arbuckle ought to do land Office
business and the only wonder is that
no one has thought of such an enter
prise before.

THE TEST OF SECRETARY LONG.
(WaShinCtOn TimcsO

The ormor Plate deal is now about to
come 10 the front in commanding shape
1t is announced by leading
administration paper that the Car
negie- Bethlehem Trust declares that
the "hitavie1' plates cannot be
furnished for less than five hun-
dred and fifty dollars a ton" The
country IS sadly misinformed If the
same trusts have no. sold the same
product to the Russian Government
for two hundred and twenty-five dollars
a ton. We arc more convinced thas
ever that a great strain IS about to be
put uDcn the conscience of the Hon.
John D. Long. Perhaps he will no;
take offence If we advise him to send ii
down to the Indian Head proving
grounds and have ii tested in advance.
If it did not stand the test then he
could save himself by resigning.

III our Government should grant the
urgent requests sent to the White
House by missionary societies 1t would
have to deport nearly the whole of the
army in the Philippines into China. so
as TO equip every American missionary
with regiment for n guard. Mission
aries are also soliciting the Govern
ment to seize land in China and en-
proll our nation in all the difficulties
that are arising in China to get the
rest of the civilized world by the cars.
The Government. OF course, pays no
attention to these appeals. and will
deal with the situation in lis owsi way.

THE PLATFORM TO BE.

I cannot undertake to say what will
be the paramount issue. No man can.
One thinks one question is the biggest
and another man thinks another is
Mr.. Bryan in his Chicago Interview.
No man has been subjected to a hot
ter fire in the history of American pol
itics than Mr.. Bryan. For the past six
months every time he has put his head
he thought of the political weather He
has been interviewed by newspaper men
from New York to San Francisco; he
has been assailed by the cool and adroit
veteran and the awkward cub, all anx-
ious to know what he thought about
the issues, what the issues this year
will be, which will take precedence, &C..
&c. There have been skilled plans laid
to trap him and deliberate plans to
msrepresent him. He has contrived to
come through the ordeal without any
laundering or loss OF prestige.
In his declaration above given Mr..
Bryan takes an attitude that Is at once
frank and modest. Although his nomi-
ma tion is practically assured, he care
fully refrains from anything that would
smack of dictation to the Kansas City
Convention. preferrlng to leave 1T to the
Judgment of that assemblage to frame
such a declaration of principles as shall
best express the sentiments of the party
at large. This Is eminently wise and
proper. Mr.. Bryan's views are suffici-
emily we'll known. The delegates to the
convention will be supposed to know the
views of the people who sent them. It
Is their business to frame n platform.
and they are in possession of all the
facts necessary to that undertaking.
The matter can now be very properly
left to their discretion. That their will
be radical differences OF opinion is GER
tain. That they will lead to division in
the party Is improbable. But that the
convention should be left perfectly free
to work out the platform problem for
itself is one OF the essentials to har-
mony and vigorous campaign. Mr..
Bryan leaves It entirely free

The evidence taken in the suit

not show that he was benefited one cent
from the deposits of state money in

This version is at sad variance with
what republican county official said

knows more about financial matters in
a minute than the editor of the Cresset
could ever hope to know even If lived
to an age thousand times greater
than that Of Mathusalem. This repub-
Iican county official said that there is
no doubt that it has been proved that
Grimes received interest on the state
funds but that the law is 80 lame that
the state cannot recover. Everybody
knows that Grimes and his gang made

Are both hung up SO high
That no rich robbers hand can stretch
And pull them from the sky.
II ehey hung low, I have no doubt
Some corporation ass
Would legislate to take them down
And light the world with gas.
I'm thankful that the shining stars
Are far beyond our reach.
And that the rolling planets, too,
Are deaf 70 human speech.
II they wsre near. Pm very sure
Rich men would own the skies,
And manage this whole universe
By private enterprise.
I'm thankful that the God of all,
Whose laws we must obey,
Has changed his plan for making man
By shaping him from clay;
Ii he had not. It's very clear
'Twould be q doleful case
Some men would form big clay trus,
And stop the human race!

For the benefit of those re-
publicans who are inclined
to want to know things that
do not concern the ordinary
citizen, we will state that
there were two reasons why
C.W.Ellis was not renominat.
ed for county attorney two
years ago. The first was that
the democrats wanted that
Office and Mr.. Ellis did not
oppose their wishes in the
matter. The second was that
Mr.. Ellis declined to permit
the use of his name because
it had been charged by some
that inasmuchas his son.
Fred, had gone back to the
republican party, he was also
a republican. This charge
has been disproved repeated.
~ since that time, and this
year Mr.. Ellis was the unani-
nous choice of both parties
without any solicitation on
his part.
