1t is said that ex-senator Quay really
desires TO get out of politics He is &C
years old and being comfortably we'll
off in this worlds goods, would like to
settle down and spend the remainder of
his days in rest and quiet. But his lieu
tenants, the third-rate politicians with
whom he surrounded himself in his politi-
cal machine, have served notice on him
that he must continue In the race for the
senatorship and at the head Of the ma
chine, IL not for his own sake then for
theirs. 1t is pretty well understood that
II Mr. Quay were to withdraw from poll
tics the machine which he has construct
ed and run so long would go to pieces.
since there is not n man in II with the
ability to take the leadership and hold the
faction together. On the other hand the
insurgents" as the Republican oppo-
nents of Mr.. Quay are called. are plenti-
fully supplied with able men who would
take advantage OF every weakness in the
machine.

ONLY ONE CANDIDATE.

There is only one candidate for the pres
dental nomination of the Democratic
party and that one is Mr. Bryan. He Will
be nominated by reclamation, or pracIi-
cally without opposition. The efforts that
are being made to find another candidate
will be unsuccessful. The states. as they
are choosing their delegations to the DEM
ocratto National Convention, are instruct
ing them for Mr.. Bryan.
little while ago the Dewey boom was
launched. 1t was hoped by those VINO
were responsible for it, that the Adrniral's
appearance in the political arena would
cause an immense amount of enthusiasm.
1t did not cause a ripple of excitement.
The Admiral is now the subject of a great
deal of attention in the West, and the
people of that section are doing what
they can to show their admiration and re-
spect for him. not as presidential can
didate, however, but as the hero of Ma
Mia.
The New York Herald of Tuesday has
an article in which 1t is stated that efforts
are being made to bring out ex-Presiden mt
Cleveland as a candidate for the nomina-
IlOn. II what Tue fteralu states Is correct
the Democrats who are talking about Mr..
Cleveland as a candidate, are gold Dem
ocrats OF Brooklyn.
There is not the remotest probability
of Mr.. CIevelands name being presented
to the Kansas City Convention. He would
not permit it to be presented. He is out
of politics. He has strong friends in near
ly all parts of the country, but he know s
thet he has no following among those who
will control the Democratic National Con-
vention.
No doubt these efforts to find some one
to contest with MIR. Bryan for the nom:-
nation viii be continued up TO the day of
the meeting of the Nominating Conven-
tlon but they will not amount to any,
| thing. Mr.. w. L. Wilson, who was Post
master General in Mr.. Cleveland's cabI-
net. and who would know II there were
any movement worth noticing to brins
| Mr.. Cleveland forward as a candidate
said day or two ago that the Democra tic
party was practically solid for Mr. Bry-
an. That means that Mr. Bryan will b.,
nominated and that he will have the solid
support of his party.

The Cotton Growers Convention, which
Is to be held at Macon on May ~, gives
promise of being a largely attended and
Interesting meeting. The purpose of the
gathering Is to take steps to prevent the
humping of cotton upon a crowded market

10 hold back part of their CROP and the
best means for holding it back will be
discussed. Speeches will probably be made
by Gov. Gambler. Hon. Pope Brown and

Abstemious Public Men

Not long ago Don NJ Dickinson of De.
troit made a rather startling statement in
a public speech concerning wine-drinkipR
among public men. says the Chicago
Records Washington letter. He declared
that not fifty out of 10000 were total t,b-
stainers. This is a decided exaggeratIon.
although IL would be difficult to give exact
information without a personal canvass.
II may be said. however that there are
some very conspicuous examples of total
abstinence among public men. Both Presl-
dent Mckinley and Senator Frye are in
veterate smokers but they never drink

tor German Of Maryland. Secretary Long.

That the South may yet raise rice for
Japan is a suggestion which most per-
sons will be apt to say is an absurdity.
Nevertheless that Is what DIR. E. Murray
Aaron, who is quoted by the New York
Commercial, says may transpire Ac-
cording to the doctor, the so-cailed cheap
labor of Japan is really much more ex-
pensive that the better-paid labor of the
United States. He says that the rice
growers of the Southern states, paying
fifteen times the wages, can produce rice
at less than one-tenth the cost per acre
of raising an acre of rice in the Orient
1t appears that the Japanese laborer
with his primitive methods and imple-
ments, takes care of but one acre of rice
year, whereas lone laborer in the South,
with improved machinery, cultivates
eighty acres and raises more per acre
than his miserably paid Oriental competi-
cor, If it is fair to call him competitor
at ALL"

The rush to the Cape Nome gold fields
which will be begun this month will
probably be one of the biggest movements
of the kind on record. Twenty-Five steam

of freight. have already been booked 10
sail from Seattle within four weeks. The
passage will require from eleven to four
teen days, when the vessels will all re-
turn for another trip. II the stories of
the richness of the gold-bearing sands of
Cape Nome have not been very greatly
overdrawn 1t may be expected that the
worlds stock of gold will be increased by
many millions of dollars as result of
the activity OF the Cape Nome miners
during the coming summer.

credited as minister plenlpotentiary of

Shortening Travel Time.

The idea Of Long Island terminal for the
Pennsylvania railroad 10 shorten the trans
Atlantic journey. described in these columns
the other day. has started afresh the keen
concern OF those who look to see great
changes sweep over the transportation busi-
ness of the world In the early part of the
coming century. A project to reduce the
ocean trip by seven or eight hours at one
jump. whereas the race for many years
has been to gain half-hours and even min
utes. appeals strongly to the Imagination
There Is evidently substantial basis for
the belief that the purchase of the Long
Island road by the ''Pennsy'' means more
than mere investment. Officials of the
latter corporation yesterday announced
that application had been made 10 the Sec

Theodore Roosevelt.

GOV. Roosevelt after Il brief visit,
turns home today refreshed in body, every
one will wish. and wei informed as to all
local political gossip, every one will believe.
He met d great many people. There were
dinners and receptions and conferences,
and he was the central figure at all of them.
The result Of the conferences was not made
public. but he expects, and the country may
expect. many readable guesses on the sub
ject in the near future. Their accuracy will
be another matter. Even now we hear that
he told both the President and Mr.. Hanna
that he positively would not accept the vice
presidential nomination at Philadelphia.
But while many things were left to con-
lecture, some things were not. Some things
were plain as day, and free for everybody
to note. And one of these things was the
exceedingly cordial feeling entertained for
the distinguished visitor on all sides Po-
litical friends and foes alike gave him a
CORDIAL greeting. They We're genuinely glad
TO see him They took his hand in way
that showed their respect for the individual
and the leader, and they testified in this

outset of his career. he is now recognized a s
a man of varied and substantial perform
ances, and entitled by them to consdera-
ton as national leader of the first class
Have We not in these demonstrations a
sign of the public feeling with respect to
the country's new duties and policies?
Gov Roosevelt Is prominently identified
with them. He helped to bring about ex-
panston. He gave both the influence of his
name and his personal endeavors to the
country in the war with Spain. He might
have remained in the Navy Department
here. where he was serving with distinction
but he preferred to take the field as a SOL

day of landing IN Cuba till Santiago fell
He is in favor of holding on to all that for

tractionist nor shirk. He believes in the
cOuntry's ability to discharge its new obli-
cations. and he insists that they should be
discharged to the full.

..TroubIe In the Towne."

The nomination of Mr.. Towne at Sioux
Falls provokes the democrats almost to
anger They regard 1t as an act OF bad
faith They had counted-and probably
with reason-upon a clear field at Kansas
City, with nothing to be done to please the
fusion poDulsts but to arrange neat Jug
gle of a platform And that seemed to be
easy. The phrasemakers had already been
set to work shaping up that job. But now
the vice presidency is thrown into the arena
to be fought for, and. as the novelists say.
the plot thickens.
Mr. Towne it is clear enough. is the club
the populists will hold over the democrats
at Kansas City in the matter of the plat
fnrHi. There must be no modification or
the Chicago deliverance. There must be
no trucking to the Hills and the Germans
on a chase after gold men in the east.
There must be no paramountcy of men of
the Mclean type, who are already ready
and willing to play both ends against the
middle. The popuiists are essential to sue
cess and the platform must plainly show
recognition of that fact. The laborer is
worthy of his hire. The faithful and neceS-
sary ally is worthy of recognition. Hank
ye everybody, Give us platform to suit
and we'll take down Mr.. Towne and let
you fill his place. Surrender to the gold
bugs, and we'll take down Mr. Bryan ana
put up somebody in his place"
Mr. Towne himself. however, has no mis-
givings He believes that all is well. The
following is taken from an interview Sc
cured with him at Chicago:
IF there is a modification of the Chicago
financial plank at the Kansas City conven-
ton the silver question. would you &C
cept the vice presidential nomination.?
Il certainly would not. if 1t approached
even the remotest degree to backdown
from the plank of 1896 But there will be
no backdown. The Chicago plank will be
Ieaffirmed.
senators Pettigrew and Butler are held
responsible for Mr. Towne's nomination.
They are probably guilty. But let us not be
too severe on poor. frail, selfish human
nature Both are candidates for re-eiec
ton. Each has a hard row to hoe. South
Dakota in recent town and county elections
has shown a growth of republican senti-
