POLITICAL NOTES AND GOSSIP.


senator Morgan L. HopefuI.-Though
the Hon. John Morgan has lived the al
lotted three score years and ten and has
just won his fifth fight for seat in The
Senate. ne is still as optimistic as a youth
and quite as joyous. too, in anticipation
of the good things ahead OF him. This de
lightful feature Of his character was l.
lustrdted Yesterday By mis- positive asser-
ton to Times representative that the
Nicaragua bill, embracing a project to the
contamination Of which this fine cid
Southern statesman has worked unceas-
ingly for a generation, will pass the Sen
ate this session without material modIh-
cation in the form in which it passed the
House Wednesday by an unusual major
ity Yes. sir exclaimed Senator Morgan
gleefuly, you can say that l feel conf

next week The rest will be easy. The
Republicans cant afford TO oppose it if they
wished to do so. / feel that the fight is
over and the victory won. If | succeed.
as | now hope, in getting the bill placed
there will be no trouble in pushing it
along" When Senator Morgan was asked
if he had secured the consent OF the Re
publican steering committee for the S
early consideration, he did not seem to
understand the question. for. hurrying
away to his committee room, he muir
INJURED: oh yes. that's all right; GER
tainly; the Republicans are not going to
fight the bill now. No. sir. they wort
fight it any more. Well get it through at
this session" Senator Morgans optimism
is not shared by many Democrats in either
wing of the Capitol. The consensus Of
opinion among them appears to be that
the Republicans in the Senate will find
some excuse to sidetrack the bill untu
the next session. 1t is pointed out in sup
port Of this belief that the Hanna-Payne
ship subsidy scheme has been shunted off
by the Republican steering committee of
the Senate. and that the powerful inter-
ests demanding bounties for ships have
induced the Republican managers to put
the isthmian canal enterprise behind the
subsidy scheme for the benefit Of the lat
ter. Il is not believed the party managers
have become so badly frightened that they
are now willing to change the programme
and give the right of way to the Canal
bill. while the nna-Payne good thing
sleeps in committee through the Preti-
Dental campaign. Still Senator Morgan's
statements we're very emphatic and his
manner while making them was unusually
earnest. Senator Morgan does not talk
idly.

No settlement Yet.-Close watch was
kept yesterday by the journalistic Hawk
shaws on the movements of the Hon Jo-
seph G. Cannon and the Hon. William
Peters Hepburn. When these giants of
Republicansm departed from the House
Wednesday the gorge OF each was startling
to behold. The lie direct had been passed
between them in the fury Of debate and
the Iowa statesman, particularly. seemed
anxious for a meeting in some sequestered
nook where he could give still more forci-
BILE expression TO his opinion Of the doughty
Cannon. Mutual friends exercised great
care to keep them apart. in the belief that
when they had slept over the proposition
they would wisely conclude that it was bet
ter for brethren to dwell in harmony.
Both men are known to be as game as
pebbles. Colonel Hepburn won his mill
tary title by valorous service in the civil
war. Uncle Joe Cannon has never been

Hanna 10 Retire t-One of the best in
/ formed Republicans in Washington is au-
| thority for the statement that it has been
| definitely decided to make a change at the
| head Of the Republican National Commit
| tee at the Philadelphia Convention. I, is
stated hat both Mr.. Hanna and Mr. Nc
Kiuley have concluded that the situation
demands the change Indicated The excuse
that Will be given when Mr. Hanna retres
is that failing health admonishes him to
relieve himself Of the tremendous burdens
involved in the management OF a national
campaign. The assertion is made with
great postiyeness that Col Henry G.
Payne. of Wisconsin, who is now Vice
Chairman of the National Committee. and
who learned the game Of politics from Mr.
Hanna will be elected chairman. He Is
said 10 be the choice of Mr. Mckinley as
well as Mr.. Hanna. Colonel Payne can be
relied upon implicitly 10 carry out Mr..
Hauna's ideas in every particular. For
while it was intended to place the Hon.
Perry 6 Heath nOminally at the head Of
the committee as there could be no ques-
ton either Of his ability or his Willingness
70 defer TO the judgment Of Mr. Hanna in
everything Of Importance But II is said
that Mr. Heath very earnestly protested
against this programme, on the plea that

nected with the campaign management,
but by being permitted 10 hold on to the
office Of Assistant Postmaster General ne
would be enabled 10 do more effective
work in a quiet though perfectly legti-
mate way close personal friend OF Mr.

ambition is to become Postmaster General

mites might be engendered that would de

as Mr. Hanna's. but il is argued that if the

risk of the hard work and wearing harass-
ments of The campaign management the
affair IS wholly his own.

News of the ambushing and killing Of

The declaration of Otis that he has thor
oughly stamped out the Tagal Instruction.
These things did not happen during the
short time that the lamented Lawton held
command in the field. Since his un-mely
death matters have resumed the condition
in which they were when Otis was in
supreme control before. What a shame it
is that so many lives and so much treasure
should be sacrificed on the altar Of
political pull.

A Promising Career Cut Short.-The
news Of the death Of the Hon. John Coyne
in New York yesterday caused genuine
sorrow among New Workers in Washing
ton Mr.. Coyne was one of the most
promising young men in the Empire State,
and his successful career short as it was.
illustrates the possibilities Of American
citizenship even when environed by con-
dtions Of such fierce competition as pre-
vail in New York. He was only thirty
two years old and was thoroughly self
made being the son of a poor farmer in
Livingston County. Almost without oppo-
sition he was appointed Assistant Attor-
ney General of New York two years ago,
a position Of great responsibility and in
volving a high order Of character and at
tainment He had accepted the offer Of
partnership in the firm Of Tracy, Board
man & Platt with a guarantee of $4,000
a year. and il was his intention to quit
politics at the close Of the year and de-
vote himself TO private practice The
cause of his death was malignant diph-
iberia. which has been raging in New
York for several weeks

The Times IS authorized to say, on the
highest possible authority, that the Hon.
James E Campbell of Ohio. is not a can
didate for Vice President and will not be
in any circumstances. Mr. Campbell is
a good Democrat and as such intends to
support the Kansas City ticket with earn
estness and abandon; but his opinion OF the
Vice Presidency as an Office comedies very
closely with that attributed to the Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt of New York.

the sons and grandsons of these men are
the backbone OF the service in India today
More responsibility was placed upon the
shoulders Of these officials than is ever
likely to be given any other set Of men in
a similar position. and if some of them
abused their power. there were others who
did not. In assuming guardianship over
the Philippines the United States can draw
on no such seasoned material for her
agents of civilization. 1t is a new task
not a heritage
Perhaps the administration of affairs in
our Western Territories comes nearest to
being such a training school for colonial
administration and certainly some strong
men have been developed there. But they
have seldom been. like the English civilians
men Of thorough public school education,
and most Of them would be shut out by any
college test, though their practical ability
would fit them perfectly for aiding in the
development of a new country. In a word
our college men are not practical and our
practical men are not educated; and sue
cessful colonial administration needs a
combination Of the two. and one peculiarly
fitted for dealing with primitive human
nature at that The English system has
been that Of giving the young man trained
for the Indian civil service a good college
education which will afford basis for the
study Of problems of administration and
for the acquisition of Oriental languages,
while should he fail in obtaining an ap
pointment, he will not have filled his mind
with useless information. but can use his
learning at home 1t is argued, moreover,
that his education will establish a common
ground on which he and other Englishmen
in the same service may meet, and that,
as he may during a great part of his life
be cut off from libraries and men of af-
fairs. it is desirable that he have as good
a fund Of knowledge at the beginning as
can be furnished him. This works very
well in England. but it is doubtful whether
an American college, intended for the
training of civilians, would not need to be
conducted on an entirely different princi-
pie. The American will not want Latin,
Greek. and Sanscrit, and he will want all
the natural sciences That is one important
