THEIR CHOICE FOR VICE PRESI-
DENT

According to a canvass made by Phil
adelphia paper ex-senator Hill Of New
York is the choice of more editors of
Democratic papers for Vice President than
any other man who has been mentioned
in connection with that position.
There are reasons for saying that he is
the strongest man that could be nominat
ed One of the reasons is that he could
carry New York for the Democratic tick
ct if any man could. The opinion has been
expressed by some of the best informed
of the Democratic leaders that in order
to win the Democrats must carry New
York. Mr.. Hill knows the political stu
alton in that state thoroughly. He has a
strong personal following there. He would
have the support net only of his own
party, but also of a large portion of the
independent voters.
There are two things which may be in
the way of nominating Mr.. Hill. One is
that having been prominent candidate
for the presidential nomination of his
parry he might object to being a candi-
date for Vice President. The other is that
the platform would have to be framed to
suit his views before he would accept
place on the ticket If he should consent
to be a candidate for Vice President he
would make special effort to carry New
York. 1t is probable that he believes that
his party cannot carry that state If it
emphasizes the 16 to l idea in its plat
form.
If Mr.. Hill should consent, therefore to
accept the second place on the ticket it
would be after an agreement had been
reached that the platform should be SINH
lar to that adopted by the Democrats of
New York 1t is a question whether the
Western Democrats would accept plat
form that would be satisfactory TO Mr.
Hill. If they would not. it is pretty GER
tain that he would not accept the vice
presidential nomination.
The Democrats will have to make some
concessions TO the Populists. Even IL the
Democrats should consent to a platform
that would meet Mr.. Hills views. the
Populists m ght, and probably would, OBJ
ject to it.
1t is impossible to foresee what will be
done at Kansas City, but just now the
objections to naming Mr.. Hill for the
second place on the ticket appear TO be
difficult to overcome

Personal.

The German Emperor has sent Herr
Etzdorf, Landrath of Elbing, to Windsor
on private mission to queen Victoria.
1t is believed that Herr Etzdorf has been
ordered to acquaint himself with the
Queens model farm at Windsor, and 9th
er such farms in England
Il am pleased to be able to state"
says Mr.. Labouchere in London Truth,
that there is no foundation for the alarm
ing reports as to the condition of the
Queens eyesight which have recently APP
peared in some imaginative journals. The
Queens eyes are every bit in as good con-
dition as are those of most people of her
age, and probably there is nobody living
of the female sex who has given her
eyes harder work of "a legitimate kind
than Her Majesty has done"
More or less mystery attaches to the
fact that DR.. Charles II. Hughes. who
was the physician of Joseph McCullagh,
formerly editor of the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat, has waited until now 10 ask
the police to investigate Mr.. McCullagh's
death, which occurred in January, 1896
The body was found in the yard outside
a window of the McCuIagh residence, and
accident or. at most suicide, was the
generally accepted theory. DIR. Hughes
now says the position of the body and the
character of some of IT'S injuries make
the theory of murder plausible if a
sufficient motive can be found.

BIDS FOR VOTES.

IT will be noticed that the Republican
National Convention bid for votes where
ever there was a chance to do so. For
instance the contesting delegation of Com
missioner of Pensions, Evans from Ten
nessee, was turned down. There seems
ground for saying that this was done TO
please the Grand Army of the Republic
That organization does not like Commits
sioner Evans, because he refuses TO throw
open TO its members the doors of the
treasury. There Is no doubt that he has
been trying to protect the treasury against
the raids that are all the while being
made upon it, BY doing so he has made
himself unpopular with the Republican
leaders. He understands that the action
of the convention is a condemnation of
his administration of the pension office
and he threatens to resign and run for
Congress from his old Tennessee district

DISSATISFIED WITH THE NONINA-


Two of the prominent papers of New
York make the action of the Philadel-
phia Convention the occasion for express
ing their opposition to Mr.. Mckinley and
Mr.. Bryan. They are the Herald and
the Evening Post. The Herald thinks
that if Mr.. Mckinley were animated by
a desire to do what is best for the coun-
try, he would retire in favor of Mr.
Roosevelt and that the Democratic man
ayers would manifest the same good
spirit by throwing overheard Mr.. Bryan
and coming out strongly for Mr.. Cleve-
land.
The Evening Post calls Mr.. Mckinley
a weak man with good intentions and
Mr. Bryan a strong man who means mis-
chief. 1t hopes that a candidate who
combines frmness with intelligence and
good principles will yet be offered to the
voters.
The trouble with the Herald and Post
is that It is not possible for a nominat-
ing convention to make ticket that
would be satisfactory to them. They
think it is more popular TO find fault
than to praise. Nothing that is done
in connection with public affairs has their
approval. Consequently, though they are
ably conducted. neither has much influ-
ence.
While 1t Is true that Mr. Mckinley is
a weak man. there is not the remotest
possibility that he will resign in favor
of Mr.. Roosevelt. His party would not
permit him to do so, even if he were so
inclined. AS for Mr.. Bryan, it is all
nonsense to assert, as the Post does, that
he means mischief. 1t is doubtful If
there is in the country a more honest or
straightforward man. 1t is his sincerity
that makes him so strong with the peo-
pie. The idea of throwing him overheard,
as suggested by the Herald, and nominal
ing Mr. Cleveland for President, is simply
preposterous. The Democratic managers
could not get the Democratic Convention
to nominate Mr.. Cleveland The people
are not calling for him. In fact, it is
doubtful if the Herald would support him
if he were nominated. ID is never pos
s!bIc to tell what position that paper will
take in political campaign. What 1t
says about the presidential candidates is
not likely to affect the result of the
campaign one way or the other.

WILL AGUINALDo sURRENDERs

| At last there seems TO be something sub
| stantial from the Philippines in the direc-
| ton OF peace. Two hundred Filipinos,
/ who have been prominent in the insurrec-
/ ton as officers or as members of the Fill
| Pine congress, have made a proposition to
| Gen. Macarthur which he has accepted,
/ and which it Is believed Aguinaldo will
/ accept. If Aguinaldo accepts it, and both
parties abide by il, there does not seem
to be any good reason why there should
not be peace in the Islands at an early
day.
The Filipinos no doubt came to the con-
clusiou long ago that unless they received
help from some source 1t would be folly
for them to continue the guerilla warfare
they were conducting. They were accom-
plishing nothing and were doing their own
people a great deal of injury. If Aguin-
aldo should surrender the work of the
Taft Commission would be made much
easier, though 1t is probable that the
leading Filipinos would contend for much
more liberal terms than the commission
is prepared to offer.
With everything favorable 1t would take
tory government in the Philippines. 1t
would not, of course, take that long to
set up the machinery of government. That
could be done in a comparatively short
time. What is meant is that it would take
years to eccustom the F'ilipinos to the
new order of things, to impress upon them
the necessity for honesty in public affairs
and to inspire them with spirit of 10y
atty sufficient to make them feel pride
in helping to administer a thoroughly hon
est, intelligent and stable government.
The President no doubt will be glad il
the report respecting the settlement of the
Philippine troubles proves to be true.
The charge that his Philippine policy is
leading in the direction of imperialism
threatens 10 have damaging effect on his
presidential prospects. If the war could
be brought to an end at once the charge
would lose some of it's force.
1t is in the Middle West that
Imperialism is doing the Republican
party the most harm. On the Pacific coast
it is called expansion, and it appears TO
be popular. Even in the South 1t has
friends among the Democrats In the
Texas State Convention this week there
was a great fight over it, Ex-Postmaster
General of the Confederacy Reagan, TAX
ing position in favor of holding on to the
Philippines. But in the Middle West,
where there is large German element,
the permanent retention of the islands
is regarded with disfavor because it car
ries with 1t the idea of a great standing
army, and consequently the burdens which
standing army imposes on the people.
The President has no doubt been making
special efforts to bring about a settlement
of the Philippine trouble. 1t is one of the
great obstacles in his path to a second
term.

FAILING PRICES TROUBLING RE-
PUBLICANS.

The decrease in the demand for manu-
featured products and the decline in prices
are causing the Republican leaders a great
deal of uneasiness. They have been te l.
ing the people that the Mckinley admins
tration found business dead and industry
paralyzed. and that it and the Republican
party brought back prosperity TO the
country. That was the keynote of the
speeches at the Philadelphia Convention.
1t is no doubt true that the country is in
a much better condition than it was when
Mr.. Mckinley entered the White House,
but there is no reason for saying that it's
improved condition is due TO anything
that he or the Republican party has doae
II there should be a still greater slump
in prices than there has been during the
last month, and many more mills should
be shut down, the Republican party would
be deprived of a very considerable part of
its campaign ammunition. And there is a
prospect of lower prices. The prices Of
many articles are considerably below
what they were at the beginning of this
year.
In our dispatches yesterday there was
an announcement that the cotton manu-
facturers of the South were trying to stem
the downward movement of prices The. e
does not seem to be any very good reason
why there should be decline in the prices
Of cotton goods. According TO the man
ufacturers there is no overproduc ion.
There is only about months supply of
cotton goods on hand. The demand in
the iron trade appears TO be good. Never
theless the movement of prices is stead
lily downward. The same is true in re-
spect to lumber.
Just what is causing the decline in prices
no one seems to know. The Republican
leaders say that prices advanced and
prosperity came because the Republican
party was given control of the govern
ment. They still have control of the gov
eminent Are they willing to say that
the decline in prices is due to their unwise
legislation and their management of pub
lie affairs? How will they explain the de-
cline in prices without assuming response
bility for the decline?
AS a matter of fact they know, and the
whole world knows, that the Republican
party is not entitled to credit for the bet
ter times which the country has enjoyed
during the last two or three years. The
better times were brought about by natural
causes. causes that were Independent of
politics and political parties. They came
at a TIME, however that enabled the Re-
publican party to claim credit for them.
1t is a claim that promises TO give that
party a great deal of trouble. Let prices
continue to fall and the volume of buzz
ness to shrink and it will have some daft
cult questions to answer.
