Editorial in Concord MOni
The defeat of the Hon william E.
Chandler in the republican senatorial eau
Gus on Thursday evening is q fulfllment in
part of a purpose long since determined
upon by the Boston q Maine railroad.
While recognizing all the merits Of Judge
Henry L. Burnham it is fatuous TO sup
posed that his polished and colorlass per-
sonality could possibly have secured for
MIN the 1873 votes which he received upon
the first ballot had not the most strenuous
Efforts OF the railroad power been exerted
in his behalf
There is now no pretense that the re-
suit is not a railroad victory won by rail-
road methods. when the purpose TO defeat
Mr.. Chandler was first formed the plan of
the conspirators was to accomplish their
work by stealth. II was Cunningly con-
trived to make an outward show of neu-
trality, while the work of slaughter was
performed in secret. In this, however, the
plot failed and 1t is no small achievement
for Mr. Chandler and his friends that they
have forced the railroad to show its hand
plainly.
The railroad plan was to cut Mr.. Chand-
lers throat with a feather But the con-
spirators were forced to strip off the glove
OF velvet, to drop the mask of Indifference
aud actually to draw and use the knife
which did the work.

General William CASTOR Lewis, who died

North Carolina.
The parents of Paul Lawrence Dunbar,
the negro poet, were both slaves In the
ante bellum days. The father escaped TO
Canada and during the war of the rebel J..
lion he fought with the Fifty-ffth Massa-

Sims Reeves having died and Edward
Lloyd having retired well-to do, there is a

Vanity Fair intimates that such a vocalist

Earl Roberts ("Bobs'D, who has just been
given his title by Queen Victoria, is a son
OF Captain Charles Roberts, who COM
manded the British forces that took Fort
Mackinac from the Americans early In the
war of 1912 Captain Roberts, with his
soldiers and large body Of Indians, took
the fort entirely by surprise, as the Amerl-

clared.
Paymaster Charles =. Thompson OF the

Chandler on His Defeat

", Edited by Senator Chandler.
For the first time MIR. Chandler and his
friends have claimed that the only power
which could defeat his nomination was the
open use OF railroad men and methods. That
and that alone defeated aim.
Up to the beginning OF this week the rail-
roads had hoped to remain In concealment.
But the character Of MIR. Chambers canvass
blasted that hope. From the moment that
the members of the Legislature began to ar
rive in Concord down TO last Tuesday night
MIR. Chambers vote was making steady
gains. His strength. combined with that oi
either of two other candidates. controlled
the caucus against Judge Burnham and the
railroad leaders were thoroughly alaI meG.
They then saw-as MIR. Chandler had always
feen-that their only hope to defeat him
was to come out in the open, to summon
into action their entire army of retainers,
to put collateral pressure upon members
and TO resort to less open but more potent
means to achieve the immediate result OF
increasing the Burnham vote. The success
of all this is now only too apparent.
1t now remains to be seen whether the
other options of the railroad plot to control
all republican politics in New Hampshire
shall succeed. We are looking for exceed
ingly interesting times during the next two
years.

DEALING WITH CUBA.

What troubles and difficulties are yet
TO be encountered before government
is established in Cuba satisfactory to
the United States cannot be foreseen.
The fact that there is large element
of the Cuban people unfriendly to this
country is unquestonuble. Representa-
tive Bailey of Kansas, who recently re-
turned from visit to the island, says
the United States has little to expect
from the natives. They have a sentl-
mental feeling about liberty, but no
proper conception of its value and
meaning. Their idea of government is
closely associated with power and OPP
preston, the natural result of Spanish
rule. THE moment you place foot on
Cuban soil" said Mr.. Bailey, you feel
you are in a hostile country. 1t Is in
tile air. The Cubans are our bitter en-
emies, while the Spaniards are our
friends" The latter who compose
nearly the entire business element.
would welcome American control-in
other words, would welcome any stable
their property and personal rights.
Mr.. Bailey expressed the belief that
If the United States should withdraw
from Cuba revolution would ensue
within ninety days. His observations
had convinced him that this govern
ment must keep strong hand on the
island for some time to come. While
we are bound in honor to ultimately
give the Cubans triai at sclf-govern-
ment, he thinks our government should
not withdraw from the island while
there Is any danger of revolution, or
until government approved by the
United States shall have been estnb-
lished. There Is, of course, no inten-
tion of doing SO. American occupation,
albeit exceedingly offensive TO most of
the natives, will continue just so long
as it shall be deemed necessary to So.
cure u proper form OF government.
When that is obtained the promise to
leave Cuba to the control of its own
people will be fulfilled.
Where difficulty is likely to be met is
III determining the relations between
the United States and Cuban republic
Manifestly these will have to be of a
closer nature than our relations with
the other independent states of this
hemisphere. Undoubtedly the condi-
tions which our government will re-
quire will encounter more or less op.
position and resentment, but we shall
have the support OF all the substantial
interests in the island and may reason
ably hope to persuade others that what
we shall ask will be for the good of the
island and the welfare of all its people

CASTING THE ELlcroRAL BALLOT

CASTING THE ELLCTORAL BALLOT
BY casting their ballots for William
Mckinley and Theodore Roosevelt at
their meeting today the Nebraska pres
identlal electors will complete the final
step in placing the state again in the
republican column. In so doing they
merely carry out the will of a ma
jorlty Of the people who voted for the
republican electors and pronounced
an endorsement of the administration
of President Mckinley to be executed
by the states membership in the cleo
toral college.
The American electoral college is a
peculiar piece of political machinery,
unique in the governments of the world.
AS originally devised by the trainers of
the constitution the electors were eX-
pected to exercise certain freedom
Of individual judgment, which, how
ever, under our party system, has been
entirely eliminated. The electors are
under an imperative obligation to cast
their ballots for the candidates put in
nomination by the party to which they
owe their allegiance. The only posi-
BILE case in which an elector might be
free to exercise his individual prefer
ence would be where the candidate of
his party has died between the day OF
election and the time when the cleo
toral vote is recorded. Even then, in
ull probability, the representatives of
the party would be called together in
some manner and a person agreed upon
in advance to be substituted for the
party nominee.
Nebraska takes special pride this year,
above all others, in finding itself re-
stored to the republican column and
backing up the administration of pro
gress and prosperity.

BEST CLAIMS TO ADMIRATION.
The Late Phil ID. ArmOur's Treat.
ment of His Employees.

Chicago Chronicle
The commentators upon the life Of Philip
D. Armour have generally failed to dis
cern what was really the distinguishing
characteristic of the man.
They have devoted themselves largely to
discussion OF his purely business success
and to admiration of the manner in which
he overcame early obstacles and accumu
lated large fortune. The truth is, OF
course, that ninety-nine In hundred OF
the great fortunes OF the country have been
built up by men who overcame similar-or
greater-dificulties. There was nothing
unique in Mr.. Armours success. The quail
tiles which enable men to acquire great
wealth are common to all millionaires.
We have to look beyond the mere money
making faculty-or instinct-in order to
come at the man himself. Each man has
some one tendency or characteristic more
fully developed than the majority of his
fellows.
In the case of Mr.. Armour 1t may fairly be
said that he was distinguished from the
majority OF multlmilionaires In his atti-
tude toward the men whom he employed.
He was actively and personally interested
in the men who worked for him. IL was
not alone that he paid living wages-most
men do that-but he continually testified
his sense of obligation to his employees.
He recognized what some employers do not
that while the employer benefits the en-
poye the employe likewise benefits the
employer.
"a man may be the best general In the
world" he is quoted as saying, "but he
will fare badly without able lieutenants
and he will fail altogether unless he has
the loyalty OF the privates In the ranks. ;.
This was putting the case exactly. Mr.
Armour exemplihed his theory by the con-
| sideration which he extended to the lieu
| tenants and to the prlvates in the grand
army of his employees.
No man who worked faithfully for him
failed to secure his Fscognition-recogni-
| tion not only material, but of that more
valuable kind-the word OF praise, some
| times publicly sometimes privately, be-
slowed 1t was this fact which made situ-
ations with the house OF Armour cherished
| by those who held them and coveted by
those who aspired to them. The man who
worked for Philip Armour knew that ht
was accounted something more than
mere cog in a vast machine. He knew thai
the eye OF the general was upon him ant
that faithful service would be recognized
in general orders, That was why PhiliI
Armour was so well served
And in that lies his claim to distinction
above his fellows He was not merely
great money maker but he was a captain
and leader of men because OF his consider
alton for their pride. their ambition AM
their selt-respecI

Prepared for the Inevitable.


p. d. Armour had so completely elimi-
mated the speculative element from his huge
business enterprises and had so entirely
transferred personal management to other
hands that his death did not cause the
slightest tremor in any of the great mar
kets OF the country. For many years he
was the most influential single personal
factor in the grain and provision markets
and had large dealings in certain railroad
stocks. If his death had occurred prior to
the incorporation Of great Armour interests
1t would have produced shock in the mar
kets. Mr.. Armour's course in thus prepar-
ing for the inevitable and putting his af-
fairs In such shape that his taking OFF would
not have any effect In the business world
or on the Armour interests, was character
istic o; a man whose controlling motive In
life was to keep everything he was con-
nocted with on the sound basis OF strict
business principles.

have substituted for Il another note en-.
titling the holder to gold coin. 1t is not
apparent however. that this would i'm
prove financial security and If not there
is no sound reason for making the
change. The present congress ought to
provide for the redemption of silver dol
lars in gold The view of Secretary
Gage in regard TO this is undoubtedly
correct. But there is 10 urgency for
