this time? Only the fact that he has filled
his office acceptably. and has shown some
independence of the ordinary Tammany In
fluences.
To the extent of course that Mr.. Coler,
although elected by Tammany. has held
himself superior to Tammany's methods
and pressure he Is entitled to high credit.
But the fact remains that If he Is nomi-
mated for governor his sole reliance for
success will be on the support of the organ
ization which he has rebuked by his course
in the office of controller of Greater New
York, and which sincerely regrets ever
having sought him out for honors In his
Brooklyn counting house. And Tammany
will probably be glad enough to help send
him to Albany in order to fill his present
place with somebody pliable to it's desires
and commands.
BUT may such man for such reasons be
expected to carry off so great a prize as
the governorship of New York in year of
national campaigning? Are the republican
and independent opponents Of Mr.. Platt so
uncompromising that by indifference or
active hostility they will aid in this play?
Is control of the state to be surrendered
this year as that of the city was two years
ago. and now, as then. through divisions
of those capable by united action Of retain
ing control?

For years Chile and Peru have been at
odds over border territory, just France
and Germany have had their relations
strained by the mutual longing for AIsace
and Lorraine. The provinces of Tacna and
Arica-or more properly that of Tacna
which includes the sub-provinee of Africa
have been a bone of contention on account
of the great value Of the nitrate beds there
located. The territory originally belonged
to Peru. but was coveted by Chile and &C.
cupied by that country in 1883 after a war
il which Peru was beaten on land and sea.
The terms of the cession were peculiar
Chile was to hold Tacna for ten years and
then the question OF sovereignty was To be
submitted To the Inhabitants. 1t is said
the Chilean leaders calculated that ten
years would exhaust the nitrate, even as
the guano deposits Of the coast islands had
been exhausted. But the beds are still of
great value and Chile jealousy guards her
title. An election Was held, but under
Chilean auspices and with a result favora-
bile to Chile. Peru repudiated the poll and
has for several years been clamoring for a
further test of sentiment in Tacna. Chile
has resisted al such efforts and now the
relations between the two countries are
strained near to the breaking point. Chile
the result Of another war. Consequently
there Is talk in Peru of appeal to the
United States to prevent further aggres-
si"nS by Chile and to force Il full compli-
ance with the terms Of the agreement of
1e~; as Peru interprets them. As counter
proposition there is talk in Chile of an APP
pea, t. Brazil TO take hand in the ruction
in case the United States should intervene.
Such an event is absolutely impossible. The
United States has studiOusly avoided med
ding with South American affairs. save so
far the Monroe Doctrine has demanded
th- checking OF European aggressions.
From all revolutions and Interstate wars II
has held a!oof. 1t has at times to be sure
acted as arbitrator when invited by both
sides, and il the present controversy could
be fully and sincerely submitted to ii as
umpire it would doubtless, in the person of
the President. render impartial adjust
ment. provided guarantees We're given that
the award would be peacefully accepted.
The interests OF the United States demand
peace in South America. hut not to the
tent Of weakening its prestige and imperil
Ing its rights as guardian of the hemisphere
against European sovereignty.

Has the nomination of Governor Roose-
welt for the vice presidency made repub-
lean success for the state ticket impossible
IN New York this year? Such Is the con-
tention of the more extreme of the anti
Plat people. One may easily believe that
Governor Roosevelt would have made a
strong candidate for reelection. for con-
ceding a few mistakes-such only as pro-
coed from the execution OF Il difficult task
by an aggressive man of Individual views
he has upon the whole given to the state
a good administration. But is his party
SO poor. is the situation complicated,
that his removal from the local equation
leaves the organization beggar? Is there
no one left strong enough and clean enough
10 carry the standard to victory? Have
the republicans of New York virtually be-
come reduced to the one-man power?
These questions are all the more interest
ing by reason of the fact that Controller
Coler 1t Is thought. will be the democratic
candidate for governor. Now. who is Mr..
Golfer? He IS a product of Tammany Hall.
He is In office by the support OF Tammany.
Personally he stands well. but he owes his
place to the grace OF Mr.. Croker And
what gives him particular distinction at

Mr. Hill mt Kansas City.

Chairman Campbell of the democratic
state committee of New York puts the case
too strongly when he says that under no
considerations would Mr.. Hill accept the
nomination for the vice presidency at Kan

party call to duty than Governor Roosevelt
was at Philadelphia.
II the straightout Bryan men at Kansas

Mr.. Hill will in effect say to Mr.. Bryan
that the old platform means defeat again:
that the east will not have 1t in any form.
He will then present the platform that the
