The auayftes stin Pursue Him.

The pursuit of Mr. Vest by the Quay peo-
pie is one of the curious features of current
politics. If extreme term were neces-
sary. 1t might properly be described as in
decent. Having failed to corral him when
! the vote taken in the Senate on the
Quay case, they seek him out now for such
explanations of his attitude then as will
afford him opportunity to testify afresh to
his cordial personal regard for his former
senatorial associate. He makes the de-
sired explanations without hesitation, and
in the hearty fashion of the man. Whether
he. democrat. reiishes being roped in for
a part in a republican contest in Pennsyl-
vania is something that he probably would
not care to have too deeply probed. But
it must be said of him that as an old cam
paigner. he carries himself well in the diff
ficulty, and. though he was unable to vote
for his friend, he does as well by him now
as possible for all the rest. And this is in
the line of the true Swivellerian philosophy.
for what is the odds SO long as the fire of
the soul is kindled at the taper of conviyial-
ity. and the wing of friendship never molts
a feather?"
The Quay people, from the outset, have
had queer opinion of Mr.. Vest-one that
did neither themselves nor him any honor.
The views of the Missouri senator on the
question of the power Of the governor of
state to appoint a United States senator
were well known. He had made them
known in the public debates of the Senate.
and by votes. several times. and they
were against the case which Mr.. Quay was
himself presenting. But, nevertheless. the
Quay people were positive that Mr.. Vest
would reverse himself and support Mr..
Quay. Why? Because, as they stated
themselves. Mr.. Vest one of Mr..
Quay's closest friends; had visited him at
his place in Florida and fshed with him,
and broken his bread and slept in his beds.
Not vote for his host? Not discharge an
obligation of that kind by so simple a mat
ter as the surrender of opinion? Why,
Mr.. Quay would do that much readily for
Mr.. Vest. Was the Missouri senator to be
suspected of a want of common gratitude?
Mr.. Vest voted according to his convic
tons, and in doing so rebuked the whole
Quay following. He rebuked Mr.. Quay
himself, who, after voting to keep Mr.. Cor
bett. gubernatorial appointee, out of the
Senate, was asking admission now for HIM
self a much weaker case. Mr.. Vest
would be glad to see Mr. Quay triumph in
his contest before the people at home. The
republicans of Pennsylvania can afford to
receive that assurance with complacency.

which lies peculiarly within his province
The farmers throughout the country have
Ueen aroused of late to the necessity of
some measure of protection against the
pot-hunters and the milliners. These two
opposite types of bird-slayers have played
havoc with the feathered family. Species
nIsce abundant have become rare almost to
the point of extinction. Insect-kiliing birds
which once kept orchards and gardens free
from bugs and worms have been slaugh-
.ered to tickle both the palates of eplcures
and the fashionable tastes of thought1ess
women Owing TO the inequality of the
state statutes it has been extremely diff
cult to protect the birds from this indis-
eliminate killing, which takes no regard of
breeding periods and is therefore wasteful

impressive Round Numbers.

If there is luck in odd numbers. there is
fmpressiven"ss in round numbers. This is
being illustrated in the current references
TO the gold democratic vote and to the pop
ulist vote cast in 1895.
Certain democratic politicians, who either
sulked OF bolted. or reluctantly supported
Mr. Bryan four years ago. are anxious to
secure a platform to their liking at Kan
sas City, and with this object in view are
asserting that a modification of the Chica-
90 PLATFORM will be worth. at the least
estimate, n million votes to Mr.. Bryan this
year. They declare that fully million of
the twelve hundred thousand gold demo-
Gratis who voted to put Mr. Mckinley into
the White House will gladly vote to put
him out if accorded some recognition by
the Organizes in the matter of the party $
de'iverance. Now who knows how many
gold democrats voted for Mr.. Mckinley in
1896? And what is the basis of calculation?
As matter of fact, it is all the merest
guesswork Nobody knows There are no
means of ascertaining- Twelve hundred
thousand sounds large. and those who EN-
2loy the figure are erdeavoriug to make a
favorable impression
Wharton Barker. who has concealed
somewhere about his person tentative,
zion, is making quite as tall a talk about
the popuiist vote. and what it may be ex-
pected to DO in certain contingencies this
year. He thinks he sees at present disp1 >
sition on the part Of the democracy to throw
ever their populist allies and make play for
eastern support If this is done al Kansas
City Mr.. Barker estimates that Mr.. Bryan
will lose at least fifteen hundred thousand
populIst votes. The populists. as Mr.. Bar
ker points out. are watching the corners,
and will make Mr.. Bryan pay dear.y for
any concessions to the money power which
may be forced upon him.
The matter. put in this way. seems simple
enough, Certain gold democrats are ask
ing for concessions and offer for them a
million votes. Mr.. Barker and his friends
think the concessions will be made. and de-
'lare that, if they are made. they will cost
Mir. Bryan fifteen hundred thousand popu-
list votes. If these figures may be accept
I'd as correct. then, of course. Mr. Bryan
'annot afford to trade. He was shy of votes
before, and he cannot part with half a mil
ion now. But who vouches for the figures?
They are large. and round. and are impress
sive as to size. but are they justified except
in the imaginations of the politicians who
employ them?

Gov. Aliens Inaugural.

Governor Aliens inaugural address to the
people of Porto Rico, delivered at San Juan
today. was just the sort of utterance to
cause the inhabitants to appreciate the
benefits conferred upon them by the new
sovereignty. 1t bespoke the kind intentions
of the United States, breathed the spirit OF
brotherhood and freedom and urged the
necessity of harmonious efforts on the part
of all the people to give the best possible
Interpretation to the constitutional founda-
ton laid by Congress, For, as Governor
Allen well said, governments are made by
the people and not by enactments. The
success or the failure Of the civil govern
ment plan will depend upon the intelligent
cooperation which the Porto Ricans them
selves give to the administrative efforts OF
those chosen TO execute the laws. From
this day forward the islanders will find
themselves with an increasing responsible
ity. Between them and absolute indie
pendence there stretches slight yet potent
barrier of authority vested in the federal
government at Washington. Such a barrier
is essential to entire safety. 1t is en-
bodied in the person of the governor. who
stands as a splendid type Of American
intelligence and tolerance and capacity.
His warm words of encouragement to his
people, spoken today, should lead to a bet
ter understanding of the governmental pur-
poses and to a hearty observance of all the
duties which the new sovereignty imposes
upon both the islanders and the mainland
ers. The people of Porto Rico are to be
congratulated upon being given as first
civil governor man who is capable of such
a broad, clear conception of his duties and
opportunities as today's inaugural address

Ten Years for the $50 Percenter.

The New York court before which Mil
ler the 500 per cent broker was tried, i'm
posed upon that enterprising young man the
extreme penalty of ten years imprison-
ment. Severe though this punishment may
appear it does not really approximate the
burden that the convicted man has earned
by his swindling operations. 1t is impossi-
BILE to estimate the harm he did. No one
yet knows just how much money he accu-
INFLATED through his alluring offers to all
patrons to make for them a profit of 10 per
cent a week on their investments. OF
course no one can even guess as to the
suffering his fraud caused among the poor
victims. If some of the cases which were
revealed after his collapse may be consid-
cred as fair types. the evil effects Of this
mans fraud in their full measure must
constitute a veritable catastrophe Whole
families were wrecked financially. In some
cases men were even tempted to peculate
in order to raise funds for the tempting ''in-
vestment." 1t will require years for some
of the households to recover their financial
equilibrium. The small savings of servants
were swept away. And only a moiety of
all the hundreds of thousands poured into
this rat hole was recovered. Such crimes
can not be adequately punished ''"

and to show how little progress they have
made and can hope to make against him.
Mr. Bryan, indeed, is the better off, so far
as his own party is concerned by the
shyins of the admiral's chapeau into the
ring Not that he needed any assistance
to the nomination of his party. but he did
need confirmation of rurners of iusincerity
which he had been receiving from time to
time as to certain leaders in his party who
had been processing loyalty to him. That
confirmation he now has, and he may be
trusted to use the information for his own
welfare.
The Dewey boom therefore may be
summed up in this: If Senator Jones. on
any account. should excuse himself from
conducting this years campaign for the
democracy. his successor will hardly be
MIR. German or John r. Mclean. Self
preservation is the first law of politics, and

The example of the Paris authorities might
profitably be followed in this country,

The refusal of the Senate, by decisive
vote, 10 consider the resolution expressive
OF sympathy with the Beers in the present
war Is to be commended. That may be
said without regard to the question of
American sympathy with either Boer or
Briton. The Senate of the United States
is not a purely domestic body. 1t Is a
part of the foreign office. Its utterances
form a part of our foreign policy and are
properly to be taken account of by foreign
powers. The improperly of the Presi-
dents or the Secretary of States declaring
sympathy with and adherence to one side
or the other in quarrel between two for
eign states would instantly be recognized
ing neutrality and becoming an ally Of one
of the belligerents. In declining to violate
neutrality the Senate has indicated it's
own wisdom.
