Ips and Downs.

The ease with which a man may come
to the front Is one of the boasts of a re-
publican form of government. The facility
with which he may be retired to obscurity
is one Of It's safeguards. A few months
ago the name Of Sam Jones of Toledo was
in the mouth of everybody. In France he
would have been formidable political fig
ure of some enduring power. The Ameri-
can people listened to him and measured
him only by his capacity for attaining
practical results. Even in his own imme-
diate environment there was none of the
personal idolatry so common In history.
such as enables an ambitious man to secure
a personal following which responds to his
will as a mighty. unreasoning force. Mr.
Jones has had his hearing. The people of
his state. after thinking over his PROPOSE
tons. have allowed him to step aside. He
may be heard from again and he may not.
1t will all depend on whether he has any
ideas worth attention and on whether he is
the man best fitted for their expression.

Mr.. Bryan and the Stump.

The story that Mr.. Bryan is not to cam
vass the country this year as he did in
1896 seems most unlikely. 1t is true that
ne is not the stranger now to the country
at large that he was at that time, aud
that the Chicago platform has been discuss
ed in all of its bearings from almost every
stump But there will be other topics of
live interest in the coming campaign, and
the people will want to hear from hin face
to face. What about Imperialism? What
about trusts? What even about the silver
question it has been affected by the rise
in prices and good times, and by the cur
rency bill of the republicans?
The suggestion that it is not dignified for
presidential candidate to take the stump
is not of the first moment Mr. Bryan did
not injure himself by his stamping tour in
1876. On the contrary. had he gone home
to Lincoln and remained during the cam
paign. seeing only those who took the
trouble to travel that far to see him his
campaign would have been a complete fail
ure His nomination had been made under
circumstances that aroused the Evel,est
interest in the man. and the extreme Plat
form upon which he stood demanded the
most aggressive championship. Very prop
erIy. therefore. and with excellent results
to himself and his cause, he went among
the people and gave an account of him
self He did not win, but he ran a spirited
race.
There were those to contend after Mr..
Biaines defeat in 1884 that he injured
himself by his personal canvass of the
country. But this was a mistaken view
| There was a good deal of apathy in rerub-
lican circles at the beginning of that cam
paign, and only Mr.. Blaine's personal eff
forts aroused the peop.e. Had 10 remained

Senator Cullon

Gov. Tanner of Illinois is exerting himself
10 the utmost to defeat Mr.. Cuiiom for re-
election to the Senate. He aspires to the
Office himself. The fight is on in earnest
and 1t is described being unusually Bit
ter even for that state. The people are ac-
customed TO warm politics in Illinois, and
FOR the two seats in the Senate particu-
larry the contests as a rule are vigorously
prosecuted. Gov. Tanner has the machine
with him and the influence of all the
patronage he has dispensed as governor.
and. moreover. is a most skillful manager.
while Mr.. Cullom relies upon his official
record and the friends he has made during
Il long and highly honorable career
The country knows Gov. Tanner chiefly
through his performances and deiiverances
several years ago at the time Of the miners
strike. and 1t formed no favorable opinion
Of him. His disposition to play to the GAL
lerfes was too obvious There was an out
break, and lives were taken. when. as it an
peared. timely efforts the part of the
state authorities to keep the peace would

hc1ent for every purpose. but valuable time
was lost in wrangling and in correspond
ence, and the situation got beyond control.
The result was by no means credtable to
Gov. Tanner.
MIR. Cullom. the other hand, is ma
tional figure of interest and great useful
ness. His eighteen years in the Senate
have yielded both his state and the coun-
try good returns. He has diligence. in
formation. experience and tact Personally
he is very popular. He is one of the lead
ers on his side of the chamber, and keeps
abreast of the times. He is in full touch
with the administration on all of the i'm
portant policies. and Is just now in charge
of the bill for providing American govern
ment for the Hawaiian Islands. In a word
he is so capable and experienced a man.
and the country is at this time so much in
need of such men in high and responsible
places, that the suggestion that he may be
retired for a man of the grade of Gov Tan
ner is unweicome. Mr.. Cuiiom has the ap-
pearance and the vigor of a man of fifty.
and he would employ another term in the
Senate. as he has employed the three he
has served, to the benefit of his constitu-
ents and to the satisfaction of all of his as
SOciates.

II would be Unprecedented therefore if
any significant municipal reform could be
accomplished without objection. and at
present Washington is passing through an
experience of this character. which, there
can be no doubt time will smooth away as
it has the conditions before mentioned. The
plans for the permanent entrance to Wash
irgton of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
tracks. which are provided for in Senate
bill No. 232D contemplate the elimination
of many evils with which the community
has been beset in the past. They include
the obliteration OF the surface tracks and

of local history. and in other ways COM

regard the proposed improvement as being

and 1t cannot be denied that there is good
basis for such antagonism. But the de-
nand for the change under consideration IS
too imperative to permit the veal OF the
few to be regarded as paramount to the
veal of the many, and the District Commits
Sioners in studying the important problem
and seeking a solution have taken Into
careful and conscientious consideration all
sides and phases Of the question. The bene-
fits that will result from the CARRYING out

Commissioners will be so large that It Is

tracks TO enter the city. 1t would seem the
part OF wisdom to let Congress act with as

Depew in the Senate yesterday:
The kindergarten of liberty. under COM

pills for larger responsibilities for citizen
ship respect for law. for judicial duties and
for constantly increasing share in their
local and general assemblies. One year Of
rule by the United States in Cuba Is a con-
vincing object lesson. Brigands have be-
come farmers and revolutonists conserva-
tive citizens Order has taken the place of
anarchy. and law of license. The Cubans
are developing their industries and rapidly
acquiring habits of selfgovernment So

happiness and reclprocally to the strength

Suppose the surrender of Manila had put
an end to strife in the Philippines. as the
surrender of Santiago did to strife In Cuba.
Suppose the duties of Gen. Otis in the one
city had been similar to those Of Gen.
Leonard Wood In the other Suppose he had
put the whole power at his command in mo-
ton to the bringing of order out Of chaos
with the people assured as to the friendly
intention of this government and assisting
in the work. Can there be any doubt as to
what the situation in the Philippines would
now be? Would not the year of American
occupation ST ow marked progress over any
year the archipelago has ever known?
Would not the people be secure In their
lives and property and in the pursuit of
happiness? Would they not be enjoying full
liberty to the extent of their capacity to en-
JOY it?
These questions answer themselves. But
the ambition of Aguinaldo changed the
whole situation and plunged the country

survive for little time after the insurrec-
ton has been completely put down. The
people will be the more difficult of approach
because of this bitter experience. The
rapid progress made in Cuba will not be
possible in circumstances so different.

Filipinos are assured. when our sovereignty
is recognized and our purposes are under

Saving China.


Within month the State Department
Will be able to make the announcement that
single-handed and alone our government
has accomplished what the governments Of
Europe failed to do in long years Of diplo-
matte strategy. Secretary Hay has notified
the powers approached relative to the pres.
efvation of American rights in China that
he has received from all favorable answers
to the representation made by his instrue-
ton. With this notification the final action
necessary to bind the promises made by the
several powers has been taken and Presi-
dent Nc kiniey will shortly transmit the
communications to Congress.
1t Is fortunate that China Is so big that
she could not be swallowed at a gulp.
Somebody will yet be shipping improved
rifles among her people. They have mill
tary teachers to spare in Europe. The
fowery kingdom will yet escape from the
grip of the robber. and to Uncle Sam will
belong much of the glory of her redemp-
