The state Departments Turkish

Allegations that the character Of
he Sultan IS contemplate have
eman ated from our State Depart
ment with sufficient frequency to
suggest the possibility OF motive
That motive may be not remotely
connected with the Governments
failure to collect those long pend
ing claims oil American citizens.
The contemplate character OF the
Sultan was no impe diment to Italy
when she secured, a few weeks ago,
ample reparation for an outrage
uson one OF her subjects. Aus
tria, too, has been collecting bills
at Constantinople with a prompt
ness that suggests how slightly the
Sultan's peculiaritIes need inHu-
ence his creditors.
An explanation ot the present
deadlock NAV be found in the
character OF the State Department
as we'll as in the character Of the
Sultan.
OF course, it would be unreason-
able to ask the State Department
to accomplish much with the Dip
lomatic material at its disposal
Our representative at European
capital is, under this Administra'
ton, a we'll recognized type
When ne is not an absurd person
with a large bank account, he i;
the creature of some great combi'
nation Of vested interests. In
either event he arrives at his posI
with a tendency to take advice
from the British Minister and with
traits that fully account Tor the
European sneer that we American:
are parvenues OF the worst descrip
ton.
For do the methods OF the State
Department seem superior to The
men. The smallest sort OF trauC
is not too small for this singular
establishment. Congress appro
priated annually specific sums To-
the payment Of messengers in Ger
tain foreign capitals. In som'
countries the employment OF sucf
messengers is not practicable. Th'
money appropriated to pay then
is not returned to the Treasury. l
is unlawIully pocketed by favored
officials through the medium o
vouchers which are absurd OF
their face. Men who tolerate thi
sort OF thing cannot expect to b
taken seriously when they rais'
the delicate question of persona
hoaor to palliate the failures o
their diplomacy. Indeed, the Sui
tan might sum up the character o
the State Department in terms very
similar to those in which the STATE
Department sums up the characte
OF the Sultan.

Query

We would like to have Hon +.
Raine, the editor and proprietor
OF the Baltimore CoveSb0RGFRt,
define his position. He says he is
a Democrat, but nevertheless he
always talks disparagingly and in
an uncomplimentary manner in his
paper about BRYAN, the greatest
leader the Democratic party has
had since the days OF Andrew
Jackson. Is he going to knife the
party in the next campaign, or will
he, like a true Democrat, stand by
the old colors7

Chairman Jones,

For the benefit OF those German
papers which have been so bitterly
assaling Senator Jas. K. Jones,
chair an Of the Democratic Ma
tIonal Committee, and charging
him with taking thinrs too easily,
on the eve Of an election, the Editor
of the SENTINEL desires to say that
never has any man under the ex
isting conditions served his party
more efficiently, faithfully and con-
scientiously than has Senator Jas.
K. Jones.
He is today the hardest worked
and busiest man in the American
Congress. He is on the best OF
terms and most popular with the
membership Of his committee, and
will in our opinion be unanimously
reelected to the position. Sen
ator Jones directed the organiza-
tion oi the forces that controlled
the National Convention in 1896,
and afterwards led them on the
floor OF the convention with such
courage and skill that he was made
the unanimous choice OF the com
mittee as its chairman.
When the memorable campaign
opened in 1896, the party was in
divided and demoralized condition
and it was a herculean task for
Senator Jones TO reorganize the
sea altered forces on the field Of

Charles M. Pepper, who has been
giving such graphic descriptions

offered the secretaryship OF the
farcicaI Philippine Commission.
He promptly declined, Mckinley
expected to thus remove so dan
gerous a person, for under the
present regime the truth is pre-
emineutly dangerful. But doubt

AMUSEMENT IS.

The company which is presenting the
new version of The Hustler" headed
by Tohn Kernel is one Of the best on the
road. There is one very pronounced
feature Of the organization and that is
the care that has been taken to engage
only we'll appearing ladies for the cast.
Wemen who make up we'll either on or
off the stage are not too plentiful and
there is nothing more pleasing to the
eve than a tasteful toilet ornamenting
personal beauty. In ~ he Hustler" is
a beyy of women such as probably has
never before appeared in travelling
combination. 1t IS that higher intelll-
gence which invariably finds its way to
the surface in the theatrical world which
is best exemplifed in the congregation
fladles who help make merry in The
HUSTLER" This intelligence can always
be relied upon to interpret any role
with grace and correctness, and when
It is allied with individual magnetism
the combination IS irresistible as an
entertaining factor, "The Hustler" IS
a clever comedy and ifreports are to be
believed it Is one OF the best entertain
ments of this or manv past seasons.
"The Hustler" is coming to this CITY
on Monday night at the Academy oi
Music, and ought to attract crowded
house This organization is probably
the best in the comedy line that has
appeared here in many a moon, and 1t
is only by showing their appreciation Of
the event that the theatre going popula'
ton of Washington can expect a con-
tinuatiou of the best that the amusement
world affords. The company is a capable
one and is headed by John Kernel,

How Franklin Felt.

The temper ot our ancestors
under circumstance similar to
those under which the Porto
Ricans are suffering today is
shown in the following report Of
the examination OF Franklin before
the House oil Commons, January
aS, 1866, with regard to the pass.
age Of the Stamp act. It was
quoted by Henry c. Smith, Of
Michigan, in his speech Of April
II, 1900:
Don't you know that the money
arising from the stamps was all to be
laid out in Amerifa7" Frsnkhu was
asked.
FyaakliN-"I know it is appropriated
by the act to the American service"
"Do you think it right that America
should be protected by this country and
pay no part OF the expense?'
F-aHkIil-"Thatis is not the case. The
colonies raised, clothed and paid, during
the last war, near rs, 600 men, ana spent
many millions"
do YOU think the people OF America
would submit to pay the stamp duty If il
was moderated"
FraHkHH-"No, never, unless com
PEELED by force OF arms"
Yet today, should history repeat
itself, with the sons Of sires who
delegated Franklin to make this
reply occupying the position then
held by Great Britain, what would
be the astonishment OF our great
Benevolent Assimilator, the advo-
cate at once for and against plain
duty"

FUTURE OF THE PARTY
DIR. FLAyIUS j. VAN vORHIs ON Sill
YER REPUBLICANS.
He still Thinks Bryan Is the Coun-
try's Standardization of
Fusion Populists.

DR.. Flavius j. Van vorhis, chairman OF
the Silver Republican organization OF the
State, Is not certain as TO the future OF
the party he represents. although he as
serts that the Silver Republicans will al
ways be found lighting for their principles.
Said he yesterday: 1.-THE Silver Repub-
Iicans-the Populists may speak for them
selves-are not going to ally themselves
with any Democratic party that Is organ
lied or reorganized along the lines advo-
Gated by the -Dickinson-W Whit
ney crowd. We are waiting to see what
element in the Democratic party will con-
troll it's organization"
DR.. Van Vorhis is still convinced that
William Jennings Bryan is a leader of
the people. ''Mr. Bryan" said the doctor
yesterday twill always be a prominent
figure in American politics as long as he
lives and keeps his health. don't see any
reason at present for concluding that 1T
would be unwse for him to be candidate
In the next presidential contest. I don't
think the Silver Republicans or Populsts
have been tied to any person. 1t is ques-
ton of principle and not the personality of
any man, and yet 1 know of no person
atty in the country to-day that is stronger
or more important than that of Mr..
Bryan
DR.. Van Vorhis declares that no one man
I'm the Silver Republican organization can
determine what course that organization
will take. The doctor declares that some
party must dig at the roots OF the ma
tional bank system and destroy them or
the national bank system will destroy the
country.
John Medert, secretary of the fusion
Populist State committee, and Indiana
member of the Populist national commit
tee, listened to DIR. Van Vorhiss asser-
tions and quite agreed with what he said.
Secretary Medert declares that he knows
of no movement to consolidate the fusion
and Midde-Of-the-road POpulist parties.
He says if such a proceeding takes place
of-the-roaders. This element Of the
Populist party must come to the fusionists.
Medert says. On the other hand Secretary
Walter, of the Mddle-of-the-road Populist
State committee, recently asserted that the
"fusionists must come to US" Secretary
Medert and DR.. Van Vorhis are agreed on
the proposition that If the Democracy re-
organizes along the lines threatened, the
fusion Populists and the Silver Republicans
will form a party of their own. If they
should be driven to this extreme, they say,
they would be much pleased to have Will
liam ]. Bryan as a standard bearer.

A.PosToFFICE ROBBED.
1t WAS Done I'm a Very Neat and Sim
pie Manner.

James Herold and Joseph M. Boude were
legged in the county jail yesterday after
noon by Deputy United States Marshal
Boyd, who brought them from Muncie,
where they were examined by United
States Commissioner Ellis on the charge
of having robbed the postoffice at Gold
smith, a small village situated near Tip
ton. Ind The men were bound over to
await the action of the grand jury, not
being able to give bond of $500 each, were
ordered committed to Jail in this city.
The plan of committing the robbery was
very simple, but quite unique. The post
office is an adjunct of a grocery and dry
goods store, kept by a Mrs. Teeter, whose
husband IS the deputy postmaster. One
evening recently, while Mr.. Teeter was alb
sent from the store, man entered the
place and asked for a gallon of coal oil
This commodity is kept in a separate room
to the rear of the main storeroom, which
the man doubtless well knew. AS Mrs.
Teeter walked back to get the oil the man
followed close behind her. When she en-
tered the rear room he stopped at the
containing the money, stamps. etc., belong
ing to the Postoffice Department. While
the man stood in this position, obscuring
the woman's view of the money drawer,
his confederate entered and carried the
drawer and its contents away bodily. MIR.
Boyd believes that a third man is impli-
Gated in the affair, and says that Post
office Inspector Foster has been detailed
OH the case.
