The Status of Hxe Tsi An.

the recent disturbances she was plainly
sympathetic with the reactionaries. and 1t

national policies whether she was to be

ulent dame. who will thus learn that she Is

AN Enormous Corruption Fund"

The story of ''an enormous corruption
fund which always makes its appearance
in campaign years. is now again fairly on
its travels. Both parties employ it; but to
what advantage is never known. Probably
to no great advantage. On the democratic
side both Mr.. Richardson, chairman of the
congressional committee. and Richard Gro
ker the leader of Tammany Hall. are ad-
vised that the republicans are preparing to
buy the election. Says Mr.. Richardson in
an interview:
What we have to fear in the coming
election Is the wholesale corruption of the
ballot box. and | want TO warn every dem
ocrat to be on guard To prevent this |
reliably informed that the enormous cam
paign fund which the republicans have
raised will be largely used in this way. and
1T will require the utmost vigilance on our
part to prevent repetition OF the work
done in 1885,
And this is taken from an interview with
Mr. Croker in New York:
What do you think Of Hanna's trip
here?
'.Oh. yesr' replied Mr.. Croker. Hanna

cratic ticket.
Isn't 1t q little strange that il should be
Mr. Richardson to express fears as to the
integrity Of his countrymen. and that it
should rest with Mr.. Croker TO defend

associations should have given him CON

able quantity in American politics.
But maybe this Very contradiction-with
MIR. Richardson in pessmIstic and accusing
mood. and Mr.. Croker in optimistic and con
fldent mood-shows how hollow the whole
outcry is. If either man seriously accepted
the yarn. the expressions would be different.
Mr.. Richardson would feel and declare faith
in the people. while Mr. Croker. knowing
how il is himself, would be more or less
cast down. Realizing what Mr. Hanna with

with submarine destroyers has an immense
advantage. The battle ship has It's limits
OF effectiveness. which are believed to have
been closely approached with the designing
of the latest additions to the American
navy. The drift Of expert opinion is that
the naval battles of the future will be
fought within close range of harbors. Thus,
defensive works. in combination with sub
marine boats. are likely to prove more ef-
fective than heretofore against assault from
the sea. For it Is believed that the greater
weight Of advantage secured through the
use Of submarine boats will rest with the
defense rather than the offense. inasmuch
as the former operates upon a home base,
at which these craft can be readily and
safely maintained. whereas the offensive
power must transport such boats bodily on
the decks of the larger craft in undertaking
aggressive expeditions. Any factor for the
Strengthening Of the defense is a factor for

MIR. Bryan and the Negro.

In the states where the negroes are per-
mitted to vote, and where their votes are
counted cast, their support is being So
licited for Mr.. Bryan. They are appealed
to in the most earnest manner, and some
are yielding. The following is taken from
an account of the Bryan meeting at St.
Paul Monday night
"A negro named Fred Gee made a brief
speech presenting to MIR. Bryan volume OF
the life of Lincoln. Bryan said in reply:
:" To your race the name of Lincoln is q
sacred one, and you may well revere 1t.
But Lincoln was the friend of man. both
white and black. If Lincoln were alive he
would be the recipient of your DEVOTION but
you have announced your abandonment OF
the republican party You have llearned
that the negroes position does not depend
upon the friendship of any particular party.
but upon the intellectual development and
moral worth of the individual. / congratu-
late you upon the advancement made by
Your people and am glad to know that so
many Of them are determined to study pub
lie questions and vote according to their
own convictions. So far offices con-
Cerned you have bestowed presidencies upon
the republican party and received janitor-
ships III return.
In the concluding sentence of his reply to
this negro Mr.. Bryan touched his lowest
plane yet of campaign demagogy. The sug
gestion he conveyed to the man and his
race this: You people have not been
getting the worth of your money. You have
been putting the white republicans in the
highest places. and they have been putting
you In the lowest. You are doing well to
break away from such party and to make
an end OF so selfish and one-sided ar
rangement Give us a trial. and well en-
deavor to do better by you.

ton. Their complaint is that he would not
draw the line at janitorshps. That. as they

/ insisted that janitorships marked the ne

But the President declined the suggestion.
and bestowed a number of places of dignity
and good emOluments on negroes whose
education and standing and party useful
ness seemed To him to warrant such recog-
milton. He did this in the face of many BIT
ter protests on the part of prominent demo-
Gratis, some of whom justify their course
| toward the negro by quoting his action.
Had the negro been pushed no further than
Partnerships, there would have been less
friction they assert between the two races

negro was absurd enough before he made

the hands of the administration, while he

Bryan's strong suit.

submarine torpedo boats. This Is the most
important result of the recent naval ma
neuvers at Newport. 1t proves the worth
of the Holland. lately purchased by the
government, as to whose value In practical
service there has been some doubt. The
diving craft at Newport proved very ter
ror to the commanders OF the fleet opposed

points in the contest which were arranged

The government is winning in the English

In the war office at home the struggle
with the Beers has clearly shown to be
necessary. 1t is a wise decision OF the
English people. Any other indeed. would
have been fraught with the greatest peril
to the empire.
The English electors in the South African
matter could not afford to go behind the re-
turns. When the Transvaalers and their al
lies of the Orange Free State drew the sword
and invaded British territory there was but
one thing left for Great Britain to do. And
that was done. She accepted the challenge
Had she hesitated or par!eyed in such cir
cumstances she would have become an OBJ
ject of contempt and derision. And when
she struck back it was with all her might.
She was but poorly prepared for war
even with two petty states. and for time
she got the worst of the encounter; but
gradually she pulled herself together, ana
finally carried the day.
And now that the war is over her duty IS
equally clear. She must safeguard the sit
ua tion for the future. Were she to falter
or hesitate she would seriously complicate
matters both for herself and her enemies.
A rebuke of the government that fought the
war would be accepted In South Africa as,
In effect verdict at the polls for the

They might even rise again, and renew the
struggle on general lines
May not Americans read these English re-
turns with profit? Do they not convey in
struction to us? When Aguinaldo drew the
sword and attacked the soldiers of the
United States was there but one thing for
us to do? Had hesitated or parleyed
with such a creature. should we not have
become an object Of contempt at home and
abroad? And now that his forces have been
conquered and scattered, and he himself
converted into bandit in hiding shall the
government that rightfully asserted Ameri
can authority To such an end he rebuked at
the polls? Would not such a result operate
as we'll to our humiIiat ton to the enCour-
agement OF our enemies?
The American people are hardly likely to
rebuke a government that represents good
policies at home and a successful assertion
of American duty and prestige abroad.

Lord Roberts Promotion.
From the Chicago Record.


Not the least part of Lord Roberts graft
fication at his appointment as commander
in-chief of the British army will be due to
the consciousness that nowhere Is his right
to this honor questioned. His career was
full of honors before he went to South At
rica and the reputation he had earned by
dint of his achievements in India was in it
self sufficient to satisfy any soldiers ambi-
ton. His selection to lead the South Afri-
can campaign at time when younger lead
ers had won distinction, and he himself had
passed the age when men are expected to
take an active part in affairs. was a clear
recognition of his especial ability. The
British public had confidence in him and II
assigned for him a task which had defied
the best efforts of other generals He took
charge in South Africa at time when the
British forces were disheartened and the
Beers correspondngly elated and aggres-
sive The ultimate success of British arms
Is traceable to the skill and energy with
which he mapped out the plan OF cam
paign and the ability which marked its
execution.
