THE SILENT PRESIDENT,
Quiet Dignity OF Present Occupant of
White House.

FROM the Chicago Jou. nal. -
How many of you have paused to think of
1.-THE quiet dignity OF that figure in the
White House? The rattle and clash of con-
tiict so completely c,afm the minds of the
people that attsatan is. quite distracted
from Washington where aii seyes will just
certainly he turned next March.
1t is not the fault of those two strenuous
rivals, Colonel Roosevelt and Colonel Bryan
who carry the same title though differently
won, that they should have succeeded in
making themselves centers of interest.
Where they have moved and are now NOV
ing. the battle roarS and smokes. and the
witnesses watch il. fascinated. 1t seems.
sometimes, as # there were nothing else
to think of; because. by the very fury OF
the controversy, other figures are temporar-
lily off the stage. The calcium flares rediy on
the active orators and on the shouting hosts
that follow. The one majestic figure OF all
that is to command the universal eye at the
climax of the drama, is for the present
cloaked behind the screen of duty, tenn
porarily forgotten by reason of the prodig--
clatter and hurlyburly elsewhere.
To the thoughtful of his countrymen.
whether opposed or pledged to him in po-
ltical faith, the attitude of the President
must appeal as irresistih!y as his record.
He has gone on no journeys and made no
speeches, because It has not been nece:-
! sary and because to have done either would
have iessened the dignity of the high Office
to which he was chosen, and for performing
the duties Of which the people pay him as
their honored and trusted servant Instead
he occupies himself from day to day with
the affairs of state. administering them as
conscientously in peace as in war, and CIV
ing no thought so far as may be discovered
to the grievous turmoil that RACES about
him, and on, the issue of which his destiny
as statesman is hinged. he utterS no
manifesto aud his only arguments are his
acts. He proceeds on his daily way in the
| consciousness of duty squareiy performed
| and his path Is lighted by the halo of a rec
| ord full of honors. de clamors for no no.
! tice, demands no praise. His works do both
| for him. In his very silence there is,
| stronger appeal than could spring from
! thousand speeches. 1t Is course both rare
and eloquent. Oh. the beauty of 1t!
| So there You may perceive this figure, ii
you look; that of patient, earnest. Chris
tian gentleman; wise in council, just in judg-
| ment. conservative in thought, and states
man to his fngertips. A man that tow
| ers above his fellows in qualities of heart
| and BRAIN tried in the stern crucible of war.
| beloved CT his followers respected by his
advisers, and spotless in his personal life.

Socialism in Chicago.

There is no Disgusting the fact that in the
city of Chicago the socialist element is
gaining ground. Btate Street literally teens
with Henry George politicians every night,
and the enthusiastic receptions the speak
ers get in every arraignment of capital
shows the intense feeling of large num-
ber of workingmen- Most of these votes
Chicago will come from the democratic
ranks. There are two distinct classes of
these socialists in Chicago. There is the
conservative class, the followers of Henry
George and therai IS that rabid element that
insists upon the red flag as its banner, and
the death of rulers asoit motto Both are
active. Both factions will vote for Debs
The vote will come from the democrats
Certain of California.
Mr.. Towne at democratic headquarters
today gave out the statement that the
democrats conceded Wyoming to the repub-
licans. but claim California.
The republican national committee, on
the other hand, is as certain of California
as it is of Ohio; is as positive that the
electoral vote of the Golden Gate state will
be cast for William Mckinley as it is that
New York will be found in the republican
column, or that Mckinley will succeed him
self. There has never at any period in
this campaign, been the slightest hint from
any quarter that the republicans We're in
danger of losing California. The question
of expansion is the paramount issue in that
state, it is in Washington and Oregon,
and all of the Pacific slope. and the voters
there recognize the great local interest in
the opening of the Asiatic markets.
Hanna Relieves in south Dakota.
The fight in South Dakota is going to be
bitter one. has been bitter one, and will
continue to be until the polls close on the
night of November i. Senator Pettigrew
realizes that this is a fight, and word comes
to Chicago that he is spending his money
like a prince and carrying on most Wig
orouS campaign
Senator Hanna has been to South Dako-
ta Senator Hanna believes that South Da-
kota will give her electoral vote for Nc
Kfnley. Senator Hanna is silent as to Pet
tigrew, but that silence speaks volumes
Not one syllable did he utter against the
man who fought the administration in the
Senate. but every one knows that to en-
compass Pettigrew's defeat Hanna would
give fortune.
Senator Fairbanks has gone into Indiana
to remain until the close of the cam
paign. He believes the state is certain for
Mckinley. This is another battle-ground
and there is a fight in the old hoosier state
every minute of the day.

SAMPSON SUFFERS FROM CALUMNY,
Declining Health Due to BroodinS
Over Iniustice to Him.

A dispatch from Atlanta. Ga. yesterday
says: During his present visit to his home
| in Alabama and wherever he has appeared
before the public. Lieut.. Richard P. Hob
son has been quoted as saying that Admiral
Sampson Is dying of broken heart owing
| to the Sampson-Schley controversy which
kwas the outcome of the naval battle of
Santiago He is quoted as follows:
When last Saturday October 13. 1 saw
in the papers that Admiral Sampson was
ill, L took the next train to Boston and
spent Sunday with him. His health is de-
clining. His physicians are baffied at his
| rnalady. His organs are right, but his health
does not improve.
I'VE touched on one or two subjects.
For little while he could not speak. Soon
he had to be carried to his room. and l did
not see him again. Mrs. Sampson told me
that this great man was brooding, was
breaking his heart at the thought that his
fellow COuntrymen We're unkind.
Il said to Mrs. Sampson: When I visit
MY southland. If the opportunity offers it
SELF l wish to try to tell them something
of this majestic character She replied
You dare not. Your southland was quick
and vigorous to resent what was thought
to be an attempt to take away the laurels
! of one OF it's great men, <
Il came by Washington and saw the Sec
retary of the Navy and the President. To
them 1 also stated my intention. and they
beth gave their consent, warning me,
however, of what l might expect"
Mr.. Hobson in his speech at a public re-
ception here today said Admiral Sampson
had not received simple Justice at the hands
of the American public. He said:
1T has been sought to place him in a
despicable light before the world to make
him an incompetent, narrow minded man,
! jealous of the fame of his contemporaries,
| particularly of one illustrious naval chief.
| AS his junior officer. serving under him. l
express the deliberate opinion that Admiral
| Sampson is the colossal figure Of the Span
victory of Santiago.
He is unmatched today as the directing
! mind of a war squadron on the seas.
IT say this much for him. because he is
| silent man. In the clamor of calumny
and detraction he holds his peace, though
his great heart be rent with this unkind
cut. He suffers in silence"

Now that Mr.. Bryan is in the vicinity of
Washington, his estimation in the minds
of those who are willing to back their po-
litical sentiments with cash is of interest.
During the campaign of 1875 the bettlng
in Washington was very spirited at a cor

plenty of Bryan money to cover the snort

WILMINGTON, Del. October ~ 1900.
The registration in Wilmington is beyond
all expectations The total as recorded is
something over 5000, as against 5000 in
1S9c. The chairman of the democra tic
county committee says that the democrats
registered a thousand more than the re-
pubicans last Saturday. These figures are
preposterous and the indications are that in
all the three counties the democrats have
barely held their own, although they have
made some few gains in the southern par
of the state.
The assurances of Philadelphia paper
that all sorts and conditions of men would
register last Saturday proved to be sheer
buncome. There Were only three arrests
for illegal registration and there is moth
ing in the statement
But when all conditions are considered it
Is probable that Della ware will go 1000 to
100 for the republican electors, and give
Mr.. Mckinley thethree votes of the state

Poor GAS.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


Permit me to protest against the execra-
BILE quality Of gas being furnished to house
holders lately by the Washington Gas Light
Company. One gas burner gives a light
about equivalent to one candle power, and
added to this, the light is liable to disap-
pear entirely. such a condition having oc-
CURED in my house recently. The gas COM
pany is very diligent in sending workmen
to ones house to blow out the pipes, but
this does not remedy the evil. which in my
opiEton. Is due to experiment with some
new Ingredient to cheaper the quality of
the gas to correspond with the reduced cost
to consumers, as provided by Congress.
Many persons with whom 1 have conversed
in regard to this matter have had expert
ences similar to my own, and 1 know Of
four families who have become dis
gusted with the quality of the gas served
that they have discontinued its use and
resorted to lamps for illumination. 1t would
seem to me that the United States gas in
spector or some one else who has the au-
thority should begin an investigation. L.
