The situation I'm Kentucky.

In ordinary circumstances We should ex
pect the Republican national organization
to be satisfied with its sweep of the
country and allow the elections in close
States like Kentucky-which has given
small majority for Mr.. Bryan and the
Democratic State ticket, to go without
contest. But the conditions in the Blue
Grass State are peculiar. and the order of
the Hanna committee to fight the result
TO the last does not surprise us.
1t was evident at the time of the Phila-
delphia Convention, when the fugitive from
justice, Taylor. was received and applaud
ed by that body. that the Republican party
intended tc justify the murder of Governor
Goebel as a worthy political act. and to
protect all persons accused of completely
with the crime from arrest or punishment
as far as that could be accomplished
through political influence. Taylor. cow
ering in canine fright. was harbored by
Republican Governors enough to give him
a clear line of progress from his hiding
place in Indiana to Philadelphia and back
again. Since that time he has been under
the protection Oh Governor MOUTH Ol IN
diana, who has not hesitated to defy
clear mandate of the Federal Constitution
in refusing to surrender him to Justice.
In Kentucky the miscreant who fired the
shot that killed Governor Goebel is I'M
der sentence of death. Two of his fellow
conspirators are serving life sentences
We are sorry to say 1t, but there can be
no doubt that Republican interest in the
Kentucky election is largely the result
of a desire to see these felons 20 free.
Should Yerkes be counted in by any means
there is no question that he would in
stantiy pardon Howard, Powers, and Yout-
sey. and make it safe for the other
Howard, Taylor, and Finley to stand trial.
1t Is not pleasant commentary upon our
modern politics. but the idea OF immunity
for men guilty OF a foul murder done upon
a Democratic leader who was in the way
appears to be considered as belonging to
Sound business methods" We are sorry.

PHILIP MEMORIAL FUND.
Plans to Raise 100000 for the Late
AdmiraI's Widow.

NEW YORK, Nov "a committee of
prominent men. with the name of Dr. Ly-
man Abbott at the head Of the list. has un-
dertaken to raise S1C0, GOO. to be known as
the Admiral Philip memorial fund. The
money is to be used for the benefit of the
admira's widow during her life and after
ward for the maintenance of the home for
the sailors of the United States Navy in
Brooklyn. of which Admiral Philip was
practically the founder. The money for
building The sailors home has already been
provided, but there is no fund for its main
tenance.
In its appeal for subscriptions to the
fund the committee says the admral's
family is practically destitute. because no
naval officer OF rank can save money from
his salary.
The officers of the Fund Committee are
William Sloane, president; Wesley o. HOi-
way. secretary; J. p. Morgan & Co. treas
urers; John J. McCook. James Talcott Al
fred L. Marlng Charles A. Schiaren and
Willis |. Ogden, Executive Committee.

One little ray of hope to those dis
gruntled statesmen who insist upon re-
organizing the Democratic party before
they will cooperate with it shoots out of
the gloom. Our amiable Chief Magistrate
is reported 20 have requested friend
at Canton 20 thank his neighbors for their
support on election day and to have as
call upon them for their votes. This. OF
course. is properly oracular. but it can
be interpreted in one way as meaning that
Mr.. Mckinley will not demand third
term.
1t is true that this Interpretation will
be subject to doubt until Mr.. Hanna has
been heard from, but, in view Of the fact
that the Hon. David Bremner Henderson
has said that Mr.. Hanna himself must
succeed to the Presidency in 1905 it may
be that Mr.. Mckinley really is preparing
to lay down the mantle at the expiration OF
his second term. With this understanding
of tie situation the Democratic reorganiz-
ers, under the leadership of the Hon. Don
Moses Dickinson. can proceed hopefully
with their rat killing. They can reorganize
around Mr.. Hanna and make him their
candidate 1t is possible. of course, that
objection to one feature of this programme
NAV come from Princeton. but it is con-
cefvable that in their eager work OF re-
organization the reorganizers might give
no heed to the Princeton protest.
DIV IL
thoritatively that Princeton contains a
Presidential aspirant, because We have
been repeatedly assured during the past
month that certain marvelously alarm
ing citizen of that town no longer is in
public life and that he now pines for pri-
vacy. Then. too. If the people Of the
country still are opposed to third-term
President, neither the Princetonian nor
Mr.. Mckinley will be able to enter the
race in 1904. Wherefore. let the reorgan-
izers fasten their eyes and their hope
upon the redundant form of the Hon.
Marcus Alonzo Hanna. Him have they
trusted these FIVE years or more and to
him have they looked to scotch, kill, and
smash Organism" In the judgment OF
many millions of American freemen "Bry-
anism'' is not yet smashed. Indeed. it is
evident that the reorganizers themselves
believe that Organism is still very much
alive. As long as there is life in it Hanna
must continue to be the leader of the OPP
position. Not even the Hon. Don Moses
Dickinson can deny the truth or the logic
of this contention. Then why should not
the Hon.. Don Moses whoop 1t up for
Hanna as the candidate of the "reorgan-
lied Democracy" Don Moses and his
crew are looking for something new" In
Hanna as their avowed as we'll as real
leader they would go before the country
ia startIinsly new light. We make this
suggestion to the reorganizers because
they are inviting suggestions.

BROUGHT A BIG PRICE.
The A. T. Stewart Mansion in New
York Sold.

NEW YORK. Nov. ALEXANDER 7.
Stewards many heirs have at last sold
the famous mansion OF the dead merchant
prince, at the northwest corner of Fifth
Avenue and Thirty-f fourth Street. The
price paid for the property is in the neigh
borhood of 81 800, 900. The buyer Is a>syn-
dictate comprising wealthy real estate OPP
orators and bankers. whose names are
for the present withheld.
Ex-Judge Horace Russell, who repre-
sents the Stewart heirs. declined to dis
cuss the details of the transaction today.
Il cannot talk about the matter to sny-
one" he said Mr.. Russell's manner left
it 10 be inferred that he was thoroughly
pleased with the condition of affairs.
When 1t was announced two weeks ago
that sale Of the fine corner was pend
ing. and that a representative of the As
tors had made a tentative offer for it,
ex-Judge Russell merely denied the report
that the mansion was to pass into the
hands OF New YOrk's greatest landlord
William Waldorf Aston
1t was stated today by persons usually
very well informed that the Stewart heirs
gave an option on the property for few
days to prominent broker. This option.
1t is said, has not yet expired. but in view
Of the easy condition of the money mar
ket the prospective buyers have decided
to take 1t up
1t was even asserted today that a mill
lionaire member of the syndicate had al
ready signed a definite contract to pur-
chase the property and had made de-
post OF earnest money. 1t was. however,
impossible to confirm that statement.
Thus far the purchasers have concealed
their identity, and if possible they will not
allow their names to become public until
they are in actual possession. This may
not be for thirty or sixty days. as the
title has to be searched and other PEE
liminaries arranged.
AS soon as the syndicate has become the
owner of record, 1t is said, the marble
house will be torn down and the site
graded to the street level.
1t is then proposed to erect two-story
store and business building, to be rented
to a merchant or merchants carrying 4
high class line of goods.
This sort of building Is known as a
taxpayer" the rent from 1t furnishing
money enough to pay the taxes and very
low rate of interest on the Investment
Such an improvement will save the own
ers of the property from continuing less
in taxes while they determine on the char
acter of the structure they will finally
erect.
The Stewart property has frontage of
119 feet on Fifth Avenue and $50 feet on
Thirty fourth Street and is thus sufii-
GENTLY large for an imposing structure.
1t was purchased by the late A. T. Stew
art in 1861, and the present mansion,
which is said to have cost $1,000, o0o was
erected several years later

BRADsrREErs ON THE WEEK.
Election Results ana Lower Tenn

NEW YORK, Nov. S.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
ELECTION results and lower temperature

week. the one infusing the commercial and
financial world with confidence in the sta
bility OF business and Of values. SO Tar as
they could be affected by change OF ad-
ministration. while the other has decidedly
improved the distribution of heavy fall and
winter goods at retail. thus furnishing
much needed stimulus to a branch of bust
ness which has suffered from unseasonaoly
warm weather.
Less than the ordinary discounting OF
election returns appears to have been done
in the stock market previous to election.
with the result that the stock market has
been very active at advancing prices. de-
spite heavy realizing sales. The effect Of
activity in stocks and bonds at New York
and other cities is reflected in bank clear
ings. which for FIVE days have almost
equaled the full six Gays total of last
week. All reports as to railroad earnin"s
show a very large traffic going forward
and marking gains in gross receipts over
last years totals.
There is stronger tone in cotton and
wool, the former largely because Of reports
or fears Of crop damage, while the latter is
firm at former quotations on volume OF
business equal to the lately enlarged to-
tails. Cereals are. as a whole dull and
lack speculative interest. Wheat is prac-
tically unchanged, early reports OF Argen-
tine crop damage failing to bring out much
buying. and the latter in turn inducing
realizing Corn is only fractionally higher.
while hog products are rather slow and
weak
1T is from that longtime barometer OF
trade. the iron business. that relatively the
best reports as to demand and prices come.
While considerable volume Of business
was undoubtedly placed just previous to
the election. the quantity Of sales reported
since have been very satisfactory"

ident yesterday morning before the Cabinet

amend the War Revenue law at the next
session OF Congress. No attempt was made
to discuss the plan in detail but the Presl

clined after leaving the White House to go
into details for publication. but announced
that meeting of sub committee Of the
House Ways and Means Committee would
be held in Washington on Novem Der 20 to
consider changes of the War Revenue law.
1t is believed that some of the war taxes
VIII be abolished and others may be re
duced. 1t is expected that the meetings OF
the Ways and Means Committee Will con-
tinue at frequent intervals from November
20 until the opening of Congress. SO that
the proposed amendments will be ready to
lay before the House early in the session.
