A plea for Intervention.

that 1t is time the United States put
down its foot and said stop" He as
serts his conviction that the liberal

zuela will be overthruWn by his mas

the line but does not think the Wash

any chances Jenries has a lofty scorn
for liberalism and liberals. He re-
marks: Il do not say that all liberals

II may appear strange to some people
that an American, reared under our
liberal institutions. should so express
himself in favor of Spanish despotism,
and CoutemptUousIy Of the struggles of
the iberty-loving elements in Colombia
and other parts Of South America to
escape from the thralldom Of dictator
ships and secure peace and prosperity
under free constitutional government
But Jeffries probably knows how to
recommend himself to the powers in
control Of the isthmian situation. and
is perhaps on notice that any plea for
intervention to back the hand Of Mar
roquin and Andrade will De considered
an acceptable service in certain quar-
ters; certainly at Asphalt Trust head
quarters in New York. and possibly in
Washington.
So far from there being any probable
truth in the statement of this man JEFF
fries, that President Castro is about to
be defeated and expelled in the interest
Of Senor Asphalt Andrade. all the facts
and developments appear to show that
nothing but the armed intervention Of
the United States can prevent the

Republican Politics in virginia.

The Virginia Republican Convention
Is Of less Importance IN a national way
than that Of the same party in Penn
sylvania. Stll, it was not entirely de-
void Of interest. two incidents in par
ticular having been noted which well
illustrated the trend Of Republican
thought
First may be me entioned the enthusi-
asm with which the name Of Mark
Hanna was received by the convention.
This is said 10 have been greater than
that evoked by the name Of the Presi-
dent This is suggestive. but not sur
Irising. There are many who regard
President-makers as greater than the
Presidents whom they make, and when
a man is both a President-maker and
a prospective President. he has a dou-
bic claim TO enthusiastic regard. The
incident tends 10 show the exalted
ideals Of modern Republicanism II
fairly indicates just about what the
average Republican politician wants In
e Presidential candidate. only a short
time ago nineteen Republicans out Of
twenty would shruR their shoulders
Hanna as a Presidential possibility.
But they are not doing il now. Step
by step they are moving Hanuaward
and il now looks as il nothing could
prevent his nomination in 1904. No

stand in the way The Republican par
ty is no longer one Of sentiment II is
party Of practical politics, and if
Mr. Hanna is not practical in contra
distinction TO sentimental then ne is
nothing. He is. In short the ideal Re
publican OF today, and the Virginia
contingent Of the party clearly rec0g-
nizes him as such.
Another marked feature Of the con-
venlion was the absence Of the negroes
in numbers. and the complete squelch-
ing Of the few who were present. rs
pecially noteworthy is this Circum-
stance inasmuch as the wrongs" Of
the negroes are just now causing the
