The circumstances, but it certainly was a

Premier to feel elated over a political re-

the Ray-Pauncefote Treaty, with its sur
render Of exclusive canal rights in Central
America and its abandonment of the trou-
blesome Monroe Doctrine It has long been
an ambition of the noble Marquis to divide

Croker

Il is contended with a good show of
reason by many weII-informed people that
the Hon Richard Croker is not an angel
OF sweetness and IigI-L Scattered around
in various localities there are also some
persons of sound mind who hold that the
Hon. Thomas Collier Plat is not as mar
velous perfect" q man as it is possible
for human nature to produce. But accord
ing to the public prints of the baiiiwiek
in which these two statesmen live the
voice of the people demands the "elimina-
ton" Of Croker and the strengthening CT
the power of Platt. Accepting the issue
that Croker stands for Democracy and
Platt for Republicanism. the people al
ready may have concluded that Republic
canism is what they want. Still, a ma
jority Of them did not so express them
selves at the polls in Greater New York
on election day. At the same time. the
people are tickle and they may reverse
themselves when next they are called
upon to choose between Croker and Platt.
Besides, there is no certainty that Croker
is averse to being eliminated" For a
year OF more some Of his most intimate
friends have been saying that he desired
to retire permanently from politics and
spend the remainder Of his days quietly on
his country estate in England. another
persistent report has it that he has about
closed deal for the old Croker family
estate in Ireland. and that public an
nouncement to this effect would have been
made some time ago but for the dread that
in some mysterious way it would deleteri-
ousIy affect the Croker side of the recent
campaign in New York. Now that this
dread can no longer exist, it would not be
surprising if Croker should soon declare
himself out OF the political game and make
public his intention 20 live on the other
side OF the Atlantic. This would leave Mr..
Plat clear field, and It would also leave

DEMOCRACY IN NEW JERSEY
Ex-senator smiths views as 10 II.
Future Activity


NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Ex-United states
Senator James Smith saxors the reorganf-
zation of the Democratic party in New Je--
sey. lie said yesterday:
There can be no cogent reason why a
united Democracy and the large iadepend-
ent. conservative element that viii be at
tracted to it should not be in q position in
the near future to restore the Government
Of the State to the control Of the party
Democrats can elect a Governor in 1901
by nominating man OF high character
who will have the confidence OF the cleo
tors and VINO, if elected, viii IN the broad
er sense represent all the people OF the
State; who can be depended on to require
in the enactment of laws that the best in
terests Of the public must be conserved and
who in treating corporate bodies will do so
fairly and justly, without prejudice and
without being considered their absolute
agent, as has been the case very often in
the past.
The Democracy Of New Jersey should at
cnce adopt some plan to remove the. false
impressions entertained by a large number
or citizens whose business interests are in
New York city These citizens read the
New York newspapers, and in large
measure take their politics from them
They become imbued with the idea that
the Democracy of New Jersey is. part of.
or at least dominated TO some extent by,
that OF New York, while in TACT there new
er has been, nor can there be any such
connection.
IN the YORK TO be done by the Democ-
raey n the Eaar future the young man
must be encouraged and brought 10 the
front as the pf esent aad future OF the
Democratic party and the prosperity Of The
nation must be in his keeping. The Demo
cratic peTty must see to It that the argU-
ment being used by its enemies. that the
Democratic party is only the party Of the
poor man and the working masses, and
therefore IS not highly respectable, must be
met and centrGverted
The young men Of our party. or OK any
other party. shSilld know that TO be poor
has never been deemed a disgrace, and
that it has evs~ been the pride OF our
country that from the poverty. which was
