1t is worth all the rest of the show to
see Chauncey NJ. Depew in the role Of
United States senator, says the Wash
ington letter of the Chicago Journal. 1t
is like an Irlshman doing a sand-dance
colored person 4 cake-walk, German
d linking beer, or a small boy eating stol-
en- apples. 1t is done with zeSt. Any one
can see at a glance that Chauncey is
having the time of his life The cares of
state do not sit heavily upon him. He
does not make serious business of legis-
lation.
The rest may have their intriguss their
deals, and may scramble for patronage
or struggle to keep in the public eye Not

DEMOCRATIC POLITICS IN NEW
YORK.

There appears to be contest in New
York between Ex-senator Hill and Mr.
Croker respecting the leadership of the
Democracy in that state. Mr. Hill, it
seems, while favoring the nomination of
Mr. Bryan, is against sending an instruct
ed delegation to Kansas City On the
other hand Mr.. Croker acting through
his lieutenants, will send a Tammany
delegation to the state convention in IA
vor of instructing the delegation.
Mr.. Hilrs strength is of course in the
country districts. and he is understood to
be working hard to get a majority of the
state convention. The convention meets
on June 5.
1t is not believed that the state con-
vention will instruct the deegat ton to ia
vor reaff1rmtng the Chicago platform. Mr..
Hin is against that platform and 1t is not
known just how Mr. Croker stands in re-
gard to it. 1t is probable that he will not
raise any opposition to ii, hoping that the
silver plank in it will not be brought
prominently to the front in the campaign.
1t would be a great mistake 10 give
prominence to silver in New York The
Ieelng against II tnefe Is a S strong, II not
stronger, than in 1896 1t is evident
now that there will be large percentage
of the delegates to the Kansas City con-
vention who will be against the free coin
age of silver. The number will not be
sufficient, however, to prevent the reafir-
nation of the Chicago platform
1t is believed that Mr. Croker is aspir-
ing not only 10 the leadership of the
Democracy of New York. but also to a
very high place in the councils of the
National Democracy. 1t is thought that
he would like to manage the campaign
for Mr.. Bryan. If he carries delegation
from New York to Kansas City Instructed
for Mr.. Bryan and pledged not 10 make
trouble about the platform he win get
pretty nearly oil he asks for. The contest
between Mr.. Hin and Mr.. Croker for SUI
premacy in the party in New York will be
watched with interest in ali parts Of the

CANDIDATES FOR VICE PRESIDENT.

The time for the meeting Of The Republ-
can National Convention is close at hand,
and the date for the Democratic Ma
tional Convention is not far away. There
is about as much uncertainty, however,
respecting candidates for Vice resid mt
as there was months ago. The Republicans
have not reached any conclusion in the
matter and the Democrats are entirely in
the dark. Both parties are apparently leav-
ing the choice to be made at the last
hour Having settled on the candidates for
President, they seem 10 think they can af
ford to wait until the convention mee s
before making any special effort to decda
upon candidates for the second place. 1t
is important, however, that men % first
class ability should be given the second
place on the ticket. Although the Vice
President is regarded as a very unimpor-
tant official in the government, there s
always the chance that he will become
President before the end of his term. A
man of the highest ability, therefore,
should be nominated for Vice-President:
Some of the Vice-Presidents who have be-
come Presidents have done great injury
to their respective parties and to the
country.
1t does not look now as If the candidate
for Vice-Presideut on the ticket of either
OF the great parties would be man hav-
ing a record for brilliant service in either
the army or the navy. Gov. Roosevelt has
declared that he would not accept the Re-
publican nomination II it should be offere
TO him. Admiral Dewey, who has ben
mentioned as the nominee on the Demo-
cratic ticket, has dropped out Of sight.
1t seems now 10 be understood that he
was never seriously thought of fer the
position.
The man who appears to be in favor with
the Republicans for the second pia,e is
| Jonathan p. Dolliver of Iowa, and the
Democrats are regarding George b. Nc
| Clellan with great favor. Both of these
| men are young, and well equipped men
| tally and in every other respect for the
position Mr.. Dolliver is an orator and a
scholar and Mr.. Mcclellan is said to he
one of the brainiest young men that ever
entered public life from the city of New
| York. Deliver is AZ years of age and Nc
| Clellan 35. The former is serving his
fourth term in Congress and the latter
| his third.
| Democratic ticket it would appeal strong
| ly to young men. If enthusiasm for the
Democratic ticket should be aroused
among the young men the chances for its
success would be greatly increased.

ReDressed Genius.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
l thought l was writer born,
To rhyme was my delight;
l scrubbed verse at early morn
And often late at night.
The muses. sang within my soul
In pure, sweet harmony,

When famous 1 would be.
One day / wrote my masterpiece
At least 1 thought it So
And flung my banner to the breeze
Where muddy waters flow.
II was welcome greeting ode
To our great Admiral,
And not the croaking of toad
From some dug-out canal.

Enclosing my address; 7

On which l laid great stress; -
l tod them to Withhold my name
Until such future time
When I at last had won my fame
In lyric song and rhyme.
l waited for week ar two
My blood in fever heat -

Could neither sleep nor eat. r.
Each day I called to get my mail,
But found no answer there;
Would l succeed or must / fail
In my new chosen sphere?
At lest IT came-the envelope
With trembling hands | seized;
My heart beat fast with fears and hope,
Pulsation almost ceased;
With feverish glow my eyes did burn,

Which said Your MS. we return:

Not even the eclipse of the sun could
prevent New Jersey from ending May
with a snake story of wonderful details.
The story comes from West Orange. The
snake, which was chased into a tree by
its discoveries, had legs and feet and
scales, and leaped like a kangaroo, in
stead of crawling like well ordered SER
pent should. At the end of the chase the
snake climbed straight up the trunk of
a birch tree. as squirrel might have
done. DO they mix absinthe with their
applet jack in Jersey these days?

Jones! Can it be possible that this is our
old friend, plain Sam" Jones, who, hav-
ing acquired fame, avoirdupofs and a
competency, has at this late day adopted
the English style of parting the name on
one side? We do not believe that S. Por-
ter Jones could ever have won the noto-
riety that the Sam Jones did.

The railway sensation of the day is the
Adams wind splitter" train on the Balti-
more and Ohio. This train is built cigar
shaped with no breaks between the cars
and with sides covering the wheels and
reaching almost to the track. The rear
car comes TO almost a sharp point The
idea is to overcome, or rather TO avoid
wind resistance to as great an extent as
possible. A 5S-ton locomotive drew the
train of six coaches from Baltimore to
Washington the other day. forty miles. in
thirty-seven and one-half minutes, includ-
ing slowdowns of two miles in each city.
This was accomplished with a consump-
ton of coal smaller than would have been
necessary In pulling three ordinary coaches
over the same distance in slower time.
The inventor, f. U. Adams, is an ex-news-
saaner reporter.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New Orleans Picayune Oem)
says; while The German meat resrric-
lions will undoubtedly hurt this coun-
try, they will in no sense stop the export
of meats. Germany does not produce
enough to support her population; hence
she is compelled TO buy meat and other
things abroad. Since American meats
are TO be excluded, Germany will have
to purchase from her immediate neigh
bors, who, having none too much 20 spare
themselves, wiK in turn be compelled to
buy from us, so that indirectly, at least,
we will feel the effect of German con-
sumption of meat products. While the
action of Germany is cause for sincere re-
gret, it by no means warrants reprisas
on our part"
The Helena (Mont) Independent Oem)
says: There is no more argument for
paying a subsidy to ship owners on the
plea that foreigners charge less than
Americans thanQthere is for paying SUBJ
sdy to every American railroad because
the Canadian Pacific hauls for less. There
is no more reason why a bonus should
be paid ship owners, than there is why
bonus should be paid owners of stage
coaches, whose business has been ruined
by the competition of railways
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem) says:
1.-THE story goes THAI the National Con-
vention honor which Gov. Teddy Roose-
Welt really wanted was the opportunity TO
make The speech renominatHg President
Mckinley. but that job had been already
promised when Teddy went to Washing
ton after It recently. 1t would be dread
full If Teddy should get angry and re-
fuse any position whatever and leave the
Republican party in the lurch.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says
For some unaccountable reason. unless
it is because of the general rise in prices
the value of arms and legs in Texas is
advancing Damage suits against rail-
roads for injuries ask so per cent. more
than they did two or three years ago
The Chicago Times-Herald ODem) SAYS:
"The Chicago Democrats who want to
send George Dewey. Jr.. TO the Legisla-
ture may simply be working to bring the
blush Of shame TO the cheeks of those
New York Democrats who talk of sending
Pugilist Corbett 10 Congress-"
The Dublin (Ga) Courier-Dispatch
Dem) says. Savannah desires naval
station. There is no good reason the
government con offer for not locating one
in that city. Savannah IS by long odds
the chief South Atlantic port and ought
to get whatever she wants."

Africa the British complained. that the
Beers would not fight them fairly; that
they hid themselves behind rocks

vantage Now, 1t appears. the Beers are

PRESIDENT KRUGER HOLDS OUT.

The impression gained from the dis
patches Is that the Transvaal government
would ask England for terms of peace at
once if President Kruger would consent
He is stubborn, however. and refuses to
admit that the war is near its end, and
that the Boer cause is practically lost
If the situation is as 1t is presented in
the dispatches 1t is folly for the Beers to
continue the war. 1t seems that the Boer
general has reported to President Kruger
that he cannot get his men to make a
stand against the advancing British. The
Beers do not lack courage. They have
proved their bravery on many battlefelds.
They have done as good fighting as was
ever done by any people, but they do not
believe there is any use of sacrificing their
lives WHEN nothing can be accomplished.
They can see that 1t is impossible to re-
sist the British advance. They have not
the men to hold in check such a force as
Lord Roberts has at his command. And
they know there is no source from which
to get them. If the entire British army
should be destroyed Great Britain could
and would put another in the field. on the
other hand the Beers have no reserves.
Their entire available force is under arms.
Besides, according to the reports, trouble
has grown up between the Orange Free
State and the Transvaal. The two peoples
are no longer acting in harmony.
The outlook for the Transvaal is gloomy,
and it is sad that 1t is 50. At the begin
ming of the war PRESIDENT Kruger felt GER
tain that If he made brave fight help
would be sent him, either from some one
,of the nations of Europe or from this
country He knows now that there will be
no interference in the war to aid him,
Great Britain is to be permitted to carry
on the war without any hindrance from
the Powers.
1t would be folly for the Beers to resort
to guerilla warfare. 1t would only result in
the loss of life and property and would
not, in all probability. affect the result
The Beers can accept terms of peace with
honor. They have made as brave a fight
as was ever made for independence. They
have won the respect of the entire world.
There is no reasoI why they should sacri-
flee their lives and homes to simply keep
up the fight a little while longer. If there
were a chance for them to drive the Brit
ish out of the country they would be JUS
titled in continuing the war; but there does
not appear to be any such a chance.
1t is probable that the British would
grant better terms now than they would
If the Beers should hold out until resist
ance was no longer possible. There
would be so much sympathy for the Beers
that the British would not dare insist
upon harsh terms, for fear of being gem
orally condemned throughout the world.
