There is renewal of the suggestion that
Governor Roosevelt would make an excel
lent running mate for Mr.. Mckinley. He
undoubtedly would He is an able and at
tractive man. is in full agreement with the
President public questions and repre-
SCENTS conspicuously the younger element
Of the party. But always when his name
is mentioned for the vice presidency there
follows an assertion that ne does not want
the office that he aspires to the nomination
foI first place in 1904, and that the way TO
the White House does not lie through the
vice presidency.
Governor Roosevelt it is to be assumed, is
Ueither running toward nor away from the
Offices in question. He can well afford 10
let events shape themselves He certainly
could not afford to have it appear from any
act or utteIanct of his that because of
laying pipe for 1904 he is not to be con-
sidere1 available this year for any service
his party may demand of him. He mus
be willing to do his duty in any emergency
t. which it may please his party 10 call
him. His best recommended ton for 1894 or
for any other time is the assurance that
he is AT all times his party's obedieni ser
want.
In the light of our history IT is strange
there should be such superstition attaching
10 the office of President. There is no royal
read TO the place And really there is no
Subordinate service which is dangerous or
disqualifying for presidential aspirants
Men are warned away from both the Sem
ate and the vice presidency. But men who
never served either as senator or Vice
President have planned and schemed in pri-
vate station. or in some office remote from
Washington, for years for a presidential
nomination without the slightest success
beyond getting their ambitions talked
about. You may find one or more such for
every senator whose ambition to occupy
the White House has been disappointed.
The prize of a presidential nominat ton
seems 10 elu6e those who seek It the most
openly and persistently. Mr.. Bryan's nom
inatiOn in 1896 destroyed many plans that
lad long been laid and carefully guarded.
lie was the surprise of that year. His
present strength grows out of conditions
altogether new, and which may not be re-
Ieated in our affairs Circumstances have
done more to keep him in front than even
his own genius for hurrah leadership and
picturesque display.

One feature of the Philippines commits
sion's report, just published in part in for
NAL shape, deserves immediate considera-
tion. 1t is that which urges that pending
the adoption of a general scheme of gov
eminent by Congress the President should
proceed to establish government along the
lines laid down by the commission in such
portions of the archipelago as are pacified
and under American sovereignty. If this
could be done effectively the natives would
soon be given positive evidence of what
American rule means and the more intelli-
gent among them would become mission
aries for absolute peace throughout the is
lands. Acts appeal to these people more
strongly than words. They have had cen-
turtles of fair promises and false perform
ances and what they most seriously need
at present is a period of good faith and
peace. As time passes 1t will be found that
the school house and the honestly admin
istered local government will be surer
guarantee of peace than even the strong
garrison.

The California legislators evidently do
not believe that the United States Senate
will admit Mr.. Quay to a seat on the
strength of an appointment by the governor
after a failure Of the legislature to act.
They have proceeded anew with the task
Of eieeting senator Just though there
were no chance for the maintenance of the
principle for which Mr.. Quay contends.
And they have apparently made excellent
progress. for the dispatches of today indi-
cate that the deadlock has been broken in
favor of Thomas R. Bard. candidate Burns
withdrawing his name in the interests of
harmony. Should this result in the cleo
ton of senator it will be decisive argu-
ment against Mr.. Quay's admission, ind-
eating that, in the opinion at least Of the
legislature of California, the failure of a
state to elect in proper manner with full
opportunity to do so deprives it of Its right
to full representation in the Senate.
The deadlock of last winter has caused
California to lose the services of a second
senator here during the present session. 1t
has brought no corresponding advantage
to any of the candidates whose stubborn
ness caused the blockade. 1t has, however
been forceful object lesson in the danger

such lessons Is growing. The Pennsylvania
case shows how a determined political boss
can defeat the popular will by holding his

promises and ultimately, though beaten in
the legislative fight, secure an appointment
from a friendly governor, which. accord

though as yet undecided, shows the cor

The auestion MT Issue.

Some discussion has arisen as to what

question has nothing whatever to do with
the present case, and should cut no figure

Everything, it is true. would appear to

concerned in the event of Mr.. Goeber 5
triumph That election will be held under
the Goebel law. All efforts to repeal or
even to amend that law at this session of
the legislature will fail And the Goebel-

The Cochran Crusade.

Nothing daunted by Mr.. Bryans prompt
and somewhat emphatic refusal to drop
the silver issue and take up anti-imperial-
ism. Bourke Cochran Is going ahead on his
own hook. and evidently intends to make
the latter issue as much of an issue pos
sible before the democratic national con-
vention meets. He is to speak in Boston
on the I'D instant. and, later. at other
points. that subject This Is an inter-
esting move, and is in Hne with Mr.. Cock
rams contention that silver is not the
dominant issue this year. but that anti
Imperialism is. He will sound the country
TO see how far he may be right.
Mr.. Cochran is a man of originality, and
hence it would not be fair to charge that
in deciding on this course he Is taking a
leaf out of Mr.. Bryans own book 1t is
true, however, that, by similar course
Mr.. Bryan did a great deal to displace the
tariff issue with the silver issue. When he
left Congress. Mr.. Bryan devoted his time
partly to Journalism and partly to the lee
ture platform He travelled extensively in
the south and west. and practically his
one topic was free coinage of silver at
16 to l. 1t was not a new topic in those
sections. but with his eloquence and per-
suasiveness he gave it new force with those
already favorable to it, and when the
democratic party met at Chicago in 1896
the tariff was easily subordinated and sill
yer made prominent In the platform.
So why should not Mr.. Cochran try his
hand in this way If he believes In antrim
perialism as strongly as Mr.. Bryan be-
lieved, and still believes, in the free coinage
of silver? He, too. is an eloquent man. He
has all of five months in which to make
his fight In that time great deal of ter
ritory may be covered He ought to draw
well. There are some who think him more
engaging speaker than even Mr.. Bryan.
But however that may be, he is orator
enough to do wha tever may be done toward
taking the sense of the democratic con-
stituencies as to the re,ative Importance
this year of the two issues in question:
and then he can repair to the national con-
vention and see the effect of his campaign.
TammaDy Hall will not permit Mr.. Cock
ran to be selected as a delegate. but of
course it will be in his power to attend the
convention. and arrangements might be
made to have him address the convention
as a distinguished visitor. And then would
come his chance to stampede the conven-
ton in favor of his issue, Mr.. Bryan did
four years ago in favor of himself.

months of 1850 they reached the aggregate
OF ESD. 444. The bad effect of American
expectations has been directly felt in Ger
many. where a. certain cheap wheel which
sold there for about so and proved dan
gerous to ride caused the reputation of
the American bicycle to crumble until now
the good work of a few years ago must be
done over again to recover the lost ground.
Makers and exporters must remember that
the great majority of foreign buyers are
able to distinguish between good and bad
work and that no article of use will reveal
Its imperfections more quickly than BIZ

slant attention and care. The American
standard in this line. as in others, should
be the best quality for the lowest rea-
sonable price On that basis the Ameri-
can mills and factories win be overwhelmed

A Poor Export Policy.

In certain lines OF exports American
goods command respect and patronage the
world over for their superior quality. In
selves despite all competition and have
helped greatly to swell the increasing total
Of our export trade But unfortunately in
some other lines the home manufacturers
have not yet learned the lesson of good
quality and persist in sending fimsy goods
abroad. where they are certain to compete
with well made manufactures, greatly TO
the detriment not only of that particular
branch Of trade, but to the whole Ameri
can commercial prestige as well. This
seems especially true of the bicycle exports.
against which complaints have been re-
ceived from time to time from such an
thoritative sources that it would seem the
American wheel makers would before now
have learned the value and need of a
change of policy. Consul Monaghan. at
Chemnisz. Germany, recently reported that
the German makers OF bicycles are de-
lighted at the steady decrease in the Amer
lean. wheel exports, which fell off from
13e0e in the first eight months of 1sss
TO $3.G5l0O0 in the same period of 1So.
The German makers have succeeded in oe-
cupying large part of the territory TINS
lost, sacrificed to the craze of the Amerf-
can wheel makers for sending abroad
cheap wheels. Statistics show that the
German exports in this line have steadily
nannted higher. until in the first eight

France is following the example of Eng
land and Russia in purchasing American
built locomotives for its railroads. The
superiority of American locomotives is
pretty generally recognized now all over
the world. The increase in the exports of
machinery of one sort and another in the
past few years has been one of the mar
wells of the period. Moreover, the conuuests
of the United States in this field are likely
to Increase in number and extent as the
years pass Our advantages in the raw ma
terial and in inventive skill will probably
make our precedence in certain branches
of iron and steel manufacture permanent.

An Abuse to BE Corrected.
From the Anaconda Standard

No citizen of the United States will be-
srudge the dollars that are paid to those
who fought for the flag whether in the
civil war or in the war with Spain, and
who we're injured or rendered unfit to earn
their own livelihood The nation owes it
to these people to take care of them and
no one will object to the cost Scores of
millions of dollars are however, paid
yearly to men who never fought in the
c:vil war and who deserve nothing. This
abuse should have been corrected years
ago. late correction is better than none
at all.
