There begins TO be serious question
whether Mckinley is after all a prob
able candidate for reelection. lie has
piled mp such n mountain of blunders
and has so thoroughly offended the
powerful and able men in his own
party. that even at this late day the
republicans seem to be casting about
for a more available candidate.
The movement is a quiet one. but
there are indications in Washington
that the search for the man is being
made. The republicans cannot con
ceal their anxiety over the outcome
of the presidential election, and it is
becoming more apparent every day
that they fear defeat on account Of
the division i'm their own ranks. II
can hardly be said that aD. one
candidate Is being mentioned in Me-
Kinley's stead. In fact * seems diff
ticult to pick one who would combine
the requisite qualities for an enthnsi-
astic and united party campaign.
Still the feeling against Mckinley has
been gathering force The Webster

Eccentric Tcstators.

Joseph Dalky takes the opportunity
afforded by his will of insulting his
sOn-iu-law in terms which doubtless
had a pungency once, but which are
hardly comprehensive to the modern
reader: Il give to my daughter. Ann
Spencer. a guinea for ring or any
other baubIe she may like better; give
TO the Iout, her husband, one penny to
buy him a lark whistle. and this legacy
I give him as mark of my apprecia-
ton Of his prowess and nice hoUor in
drawing his sword on me lat my own
table,. naked and unarmed rs 1 was,
and he we'll fortified with custard.'
4 grewsome legacy is that of Philip
Thicknesse: 81 leave my right hand, to
be cut off after my death, to my son,
and l desire it may be sent to him in
hopes that such a sight may remind
long abandoned the duty he owed to a
father who once affectionately loved
him"
Another father seems apparently to
have begun his will with the determi-
nation of Furnishing an unruly son, but,
as the fairy stories say, all ends hap
PLY. We refer to the will of Richard
Crawshay, the founder of the famous
Welsh ironwOrks. 1t runs thus: ITO

ELECTION AND TRUSTS.

William j. Lee. of Trenton, n. j.,
has given the republicans of Trenton
a jar by offering through the advertis-
ing columns of local paper to sell
his house for $1,000 less than it cost
and to throw in lot 1872 feet wide
This sale, he says, is compelled
through the loss of the position there
with the New Jersey Steel and Iron
company which he held for more than
twenty-five years.
Lee says he was forced out of his
job by the organization of the Ameri-
can Bridge company, a trust of which
the New Jersey Steel company is a
member Lee also says that there are
20 other estimators who will lose their
Jobs through the action of the trust.
Lees advertisement is an odd piece of
literature and is headed Lees Tale of
Woe" He says it is because of the
outcome of the election that the trust
was formed.

REPUBLICAN DEsPoTIsM.

Surprise was frequently expressed
during the recent campaign over Gov.
Roosevelt's suppression of Mayor Van
Wyck's answer to the charges filed
against him. This dispatch is said to
have been sent by the chairman of the
New York state republican campaign
committee, republican candidate for
governor, to Gov. Roosevelt:
Sept. 90. 19O0--To Theodore ROose-
welt, governor OF New York, Cripple
Creek, Col Wire Attorney-General
Davies to be sure not to give out to the
reporters the Van Wyck answer at
this time; it must be held until after
the election is over. This would i'm
peril our chances and get us into a
useless wrangle. | have also wired
Davies. B b. ODELL.
Mr.. Odell, in an interview, does not
deny sending the dispatch. He con-
tents himself with saying what if he
did send it? 1t will be said that
Mayor Van Wyck should have given
out his answer himself. Mr.. Roose-
welt and Mr.. Odell were safe in as
Stunning that Mayor Van Wyck would
take no such risk in the middle of

campaign. Had he done so Gov.
Roosevelt would have made flying
trip to the state and summarily re-
moved Mayor Van Wyck, as he has
the power to do. This is the
Russian system of government in
troduced into the United States
by the republican party. Centraliza-
ton is the essence of despotism. The
czar's agents throughout Russia have
as absolute power over local govern
meat as the car himself over his cab
met.
The reason Mr.. OdeIl wanted Van
Wyck's answer suppressed until after
the election is notorious. Many re-
publican politicians are stockholders
in the ice trust and Mayor Van Wyck's
reply gave the list of them.
When the governor of state may
remove mayors at will, without ap-
peal or redress, local self-government,
as the Chicago Chronicle wisely says,
cannot be said to exist.
