The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1900-11-08

How some New York republicans
regard Mr. Bryan may be judged by
these remarks, made in Washington
by Mr.. w. ID. Pearson, a prominent
member of the New York bar: 81
don't believe there ever has been a
Presidential candidate who was so de-
serving of success as is Mr.. Bryan. |
am bound by principle, as a good re-
publican, to cast my vote against hlm,
but could almost cheer if | learned
that he was elected. He is absolutely
sincere, and just such man as would
make a good President. Think 'here
are good many more republicans in
the empire state who think as l CO.
and the republican leaders are not at
all certain of carrying the State"
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1900-11-08

Mr.. John NJ. Sherrouse, New Or
leans business man and broth-n-law
of Representative Robertson, of La,
was in Washington last week. He
said of the political outlook: 81 hope
that Bryan will win. am opposed to
aggressive expansion and also to bene
violent assimilation through the can.
mons mouth. In the case OF the
Philippines we are attempting to con
quer lands thousands of miles away
and assimllate a people whom Infinite
Wisdom has made so different as to
render all our efforts fruitless. We
have already an alien race with us that
has grown into national problem,
and it will be only adding fuel to the
fire to bring more alien races in"
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1900-11-08

If proof were needed that the life
of a private in the T.. S. army under
exciting conditions is not pleasant
one, it is furnished by the annual re
port Of the Adjutant General, just
made public, which shows that there
were S,oo3 desertions during the fiscal
year. The large and respectable ele-
ment which oppose the "army can
teen" are given a slap in the face by
the report, which says that the "army
canteen" has grown to be an absolute
necessity, and that business of ST.
oIs,S62, with a net profit of $464, 5o4,
was done by them during the year.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1900-11-08

The growth of the U. S. in popula-
tion during the past ten years nearly
81 per cent, as shown by the official
figures given out this week--76,2o5,-
22c-has been entirely satisfactory.
Whether the same can be said of the
growth of manliness, independence,
and political intelligence cannot be
positively stated until after the cleo
ton, which will show whether a ma
jority of the voters will vote their
known convictions or will allow them
selves to be driven to the polls and to
vote as the local bosses in the pay OF
the trusts shall dictate. American
manhood VS.. serfdom is an issue as
well as the republic VS. the empire.

MR.. ODELL AND TIE CANALS.

Afr OdeIrs announcement that Colonel John
! n Partridge will continue in Office under his
! administration as Superintendent of Public
| Works will be received with pleasure and ap-
proval by everybody but the spoilsmen. who
regret the good old days of fat contracts and
unbalanced bids. This is the first indication
Mr.. Odell has given since his election of the
policy he will pursue as Governor, and ii is
gratifying TO find that confidence has not been
misplaced in his promises TO give businesslike
administration and in his realization of the
possibilities of power and reputation which lie
in the Independent exercise of the Governors
office with a single eye TO the proper conduct
of State affairs.
1t is understood that Colonel Partridge was
not candidate for reappointment. Doubtless
the Governor-elect could have superseded him
with some respectable person. who would have
helped the politicians once more to make the
canals a source of patronage without exciting
any remark or having TO give any explanation.
His positive move 10 retain the present Super
intendent bespeaks a positive intention TO keep
the canal administration up 10 the standard set
in the last two years From it we may fairly
argue a disposition TO hold other branches Of
the public work up to the same standard. The
canal problem is one that New-York must soon
face in its large aspects and reach decision
as TO the future development or practical aban-
donment of the States waterways. If the pros
pect Of another revel In wasteful contracts
faced the people ii is impossible to believe that
they would not veto improvements altogether.
With a man like Colonel Partridge in charge
the question Of enlargement has a fair chance
of judgment on its own merits.
Governor Roosevelt found great difficulty in
placing men like Colonel Partridge in Office.
The pressure of the politicians for a man a
little less austere than the one he had selected
often called for the exercise Of his most strenu-
GUS qualities of resistance, and the process Of
accommodation was frequently a long and
troublesome one, not always bringing satisfac-
tory results. If Mr.. 0dell has any such friction
to overcome the public has not secured evidence
of ii. Perhaps his intimate connection with the
organization enables him to accomplish his pur-
poses without announcement Of his struggles.
Perhaps his hold on the organization is such
that his wishes, even OF a nature which would
have been antagonized If held by Governor
Roosevelt, find unquestioned, if not willing,
acceptance. Whatever the source Of his power
we are glad to see the initial exercise Of it so
we'll directed.
