truth and reason that 1t is Mr.. Low and
his friends whJ have changed with
chem. In 1897 the bumptious Citizens
party rushed ahead and nominated Mr..
Low in order to "put the Republicans
in hole" The Republican party was
to be flown as the tail to the kite OF the
Citizens people. The Republicans
were given to understand that this was
the purpose OF the hot haste in which
the nomination of Mr.. Low was rushed
along. 1t was the design TO ignore and
humiliate the Republican organization,
to contribute to the Reorganization
and destruction OF the,party by COM
polling it to fall in behind these ex-
ceedingly previous reformers by nom-
mating for mayor their own candidate,
Seth Low.
BY the action and the expressed pur-
pose of the Citizens party in the early
and unconcerted nomination of Mr..
Low, the Republicans were placed in a
position where manhood, self-resl ect,
party existence, compelled them to
nominate candidate of their own, and
Gen. Tracy, one of the best men in the
city, of irreproachable character and
demonstrated ability, most competent
in all respects for the office, was Sc
lected. The Citizens cared more about
gratifying personal, partisan spleen
than in providing for Greater New
York a really honest and capable chief
xecntive. They sowed to the wind
nd reaped the whirlwind.
The effect of four years of Tammany
administration has been to sober these
super-heated, super-oflicious reform
ers. All the elements of opposition to
Tammany have waited for the recon-
Cling Of opinions and personal prefer
ences. Concessions have been made.
Deliberation has been practiced with
the result that all the elements Of OPP
position have united in the candidacy
of Mr.. Low. Gen. Tracy shows his
manliness, the greatness Of his nature,
by personally, sincerely and with en-
ergy espousing the candidacy of his
rival of four years ago. The hot heads
of 1897 have learned reason. They
have learned that great political can
vass cannot be conducted on spite; that
soberness and delberation are better
than bumptiousness.

other day is significant both as an illus
tration of certain traits in the character
of President Roosevelt and as an ex-
ample for his admirers. There has
been an impression among certain of
his critics that he believed "the strenu-

and killing animals; but, though
might hunter, he 10 not merely MINI

1t was a rainy, dreary day, soon after
Mr.. Roosevelts return to Washington,
and after busy morning the President
and his secretary started out for walk.

friendless dog, as close to the wall as
he could get, his body curled up into
the smallest possible bunch to avoid

"Poor doggie, haven't you any mas
ter?" he inquired. Then be went back
into the house, and the dog, with IN
stinctive understanding of the sltus-
ton, trotted close at his heels. The
President ordered that he waif should
be taken to the kitchen and given a

Mr. Roosevelt ia not one of those
sportsmen who are satisfied with pop

goes hunting he wants the excitement
of killing dangerous wild beast. 1t

led the charge at San Juan Hill was
quite as ready to befriend homeless
cur as to hunt cougars or grizzlies.

GOLD DISCOVERY.

TUCSON, Arizona, Oct. l0.-Charles
r.. and Porter w. Fleming of this place
have arrived here from the Gallure
Mountains, where they report re-
markable gold discovery. The rich
find is located seventy miles north of
Tucson and the vein of ore according
to The Flemings is 200 feet wide aud
5000 feet in length. A canon cuts
through the vein for 200 feet, exposing
the ore on either side the entire length
of the cut. The Fleming brothers as
sert that from the bottom OF the canon
to the surface the outcroppings of ore
will run from s. TO $1,000 to the ton.
They estimate the amount of gold in
sigh. at the enormous sum Of 81 ,000, 900.
The Tucson Star of this place is au-
thority for the statement that the
story told by the Fleming brothers is
authentic and that it has verified the
facts as alb We given.

A New Industry.

Possibly a new and profitable indus
try will be introduced among the peo-
pies OF the east "bound by errors
chain" America seems likely to be
the chief contributor to the industry's
financial prosperity. Not only among
the Balkans but throughout the be-
nighted regions, from Greenland's icy
Mountains to India's coral strand,
American missionaries in the future
may be crying for ransom, as the out
come of the encouragement given to
the alleged brigands who are holding
Miss Stone in captivity.
The modest sum Of 100000 with
which the ransom tariff starts, and
which the American Board is trying to
raise, may be advanced TO half mill
ion, according to the quality Of the
captive, unless, perchance, COMPETE
ton between the Bulgarian kidnsppers
and the enterprising people of Boorio-
boolagah, and others, shall reduce the
rate demanded for the return of cap
tives.
The suggestion is made that the mis-
sionaries engaged in conveying saliva
ton to unwilling and inappreciative peo-
pie be called home to preach the gospel
among the heatben here; and when
these shall be converted the circle OF
christisnizstion will expand In natur.
al way till it embraces all the regions
lying in darkness.
In the kidnapping of Miss Stone the
American Missionary societies seem
to be up against very formidable OBJ
stacle to their work beyond the direcI
authority of the American govern
ment or the realms of its "moral influ-
ence." Had the Bulgarian inciden
happened in China, what else would
have happened? An expenditure far
exceeding 100000, but not necessarily
for the purpose of peaceful and uncon-
ditional ransom. Heather heads
would have tumbled from the block
and smart money flowed from tn,
treasury of the nation whose subject
had offended civilization.

certed signals from the shore, but natur-
ally believed they were between d.
visions Of the Spanish forces. He had
no knowledge that they were intended
for him. Captain Evans had this
knowledge, but when informed of the
signals from the shore thought it was
none of his business to tell his COM
mander the Cubans were signifying
their desire to communicate with the
American squadron. Two days later
Captain McCalla came up with the
Marblehead and knowing the purport
of toe demonstrations sent a boat to
the shore and received from the Gu
bans the intelligence that Cervera was
not at Cienfuegos. Thereupon Schley
sailed for Santiago, where the Spanish
squadron had taken refuge and where
it had been, as the officials on shore at
the end OF the telegraph cables knew,
all the time Commodore Schley had
been detained off Cienfuegos.
One OF the things the whole country
ought to want to know is why Schley
was not told how the Cubans had been
instructed to tell him what they knew
about affairs around Cieufuegos. Ad-
miral Sampson ought to be able to tell,
but "this is Schley's funeral" the pub
lie has been informed, and nothing
must be allowed 10 interfere with the
burial of the appointed victim Of the
navy department; and especially must
Sampson be not summoned to testify in
the inquiry, or his name or acts brought
into court, lest "Schley's funeral" be-
became SIMPSONS obsequies. So the
department is kind to Sampson.
II all the truth should be told, and
the microscope Of official investigation
should be applied to the acts of all the
officers of the navy in the operations
in the West Indies, as it is being
applied to those OF Admiral Schley,
the pending inquiry might dig the
graves of several populations.

Too Much Bathing Harmful.

1t is familiar boast of English pee
pie that we are above all others q
washing nation. Soap and water is a
standing dish in Great Britain, but 40
little were we disposed to credit the ha-
bitual cleanliness of foreigners that a
piece Of soap in the Valise was till recent
ly the companion of an Englishmt on
his travels. All kinds of theories have
been risked to account for this national
tendency to ablution, and most diverse
qualities have been attributed ~
its possession. The familiarity of
islanders with water, and the use
OF it occasioned by the national custom
that led the ancient Britous TO paint
their bodies, are solemnly urged as the
foundation Of the English proneness to
washing; and the fresh compilations and
smooth skins OF young Englishmen are
held to replace the more dusky and hir-
suite countenances of the Latin races be-
cause OF their closer and more frequent
acquaintance with the articles of the
washstand. 1t is quite obvious that
even in England there are people who
wash too little. Ii is not so generally
recognized that some people wash too
much. The skin is not well adapted
to frequent applications Of water &C

of soaps. A tendency arises to macer.
alton OF the superficial part Of the
epidermis, which is too frequently
removed and occasions probably too
rapid a proiferation of the cells of the
Malpighian layer. There is no doubt
that many cases OF roughness of the
skin OF The face come from the frc-
quent application of water. 1t is a
good thing to rub the face with soft,
clean dry towel two or three times
day. II, in addition, water is used in
the morning and at night the skin will
be kept in sounder, smoother and
healthier state than if, as is often the
case, soap and water are used three or
four times day. Men are not often
offenders in this respect, most men
sparing little time for the refinements
Of the toilette. Women and children,
whose skins are the most ea7ily affect
ed by superfuous ablutiop, are the very
persons to whom such excess is too
common. They should be taught that
there are dry methods OF cleanliness as
well as wet Ones London lanai.

What the Country Ought to Know

The whole country wants to know
why Schley was never told that Cerve-
"a was in Santiago harbor; why Samp-
son, knowing he was there, enjoined
upon Schley the Importance of watch
ing Cienfuegos; why ship after ship
went to the flying squadron, their com
manding officers all in possession of
important information, and yet Schley
remained without a word or even a
hint of the real truth. One man was
charged, he said, with message of
great significance, but he megaphoned
it to somebody else-not to Schley-
and somebody else forgot to pass it on.
Washington Post.
Admiral Sampson might be able to
tell why Captain Evans, Captain Nc
Gala and nearly every other command
ing officer of the flying squadron, was
intrusted by himself or his chief of
staff with the arrangement with the
Cubans for signalling to the American
squadron, and why knowledge of this
arr ngement was withheld from Com
modore Schley, the commander-in.c chief
of the squadron, who was thus detained
two days off Cienfuegos awaiting in
formation about Cervera's ships which
the Cubans were waiting to commune

Mirrors as Good as Medicine.

A woman's vanity not infrequently
acts as health tonic and saves her from

A physician with long experience in

months as an inferno in Pittsburg

with fine tooth comb without finding

Bulgarian ReparatiOn.

Reports from Washington are to the ef-
feet that the government of the United
States will hold Bulgaria accountable
for the abduction of Miss Stone and
for the repayment of the ransom money
contributed by the citizens OF the
United States.
England, France, or any other pow
er of the first rank and responsibility
or accessibility might be "held &C
countable" for any infringement of the
personal rights OF an American citizen,
or for any damage to his material inter
ests, or for any personal injury infict-
ed by any subject or citizen of such
power. If the case were a clear one,
this government would not have to ask
twice for reparation. If the claim
were against China, the demand, en-
forced by the timely appearance of a
squadron of American war ships off a
Chinese seaport city, would probably
be conceded, and no power of Europe
would intervene.
The experiences of this government
with Turkey, in collecting indemnity
for the destruction of missionary prop
erty in Armenia, is not entirely reas-
surfing as to the success of an attempt
by the American government to COM
pei Bulgaria to do anything she is not
entirely willing and prepared to do.
Bulgaria cannot be reached by naval
or military force of the United StateP.
1t is petty principally existing by the
grace of "the concert of Europe" 1t
! is not rolling in wealth, and probably
has no assets, real or personal, lying
around beyond its boundaries which
could be levied upon. If Bulgaria
should feel disposed to make repara-
ton, and could raise the money, she
! might recompense the American friends
of Miss Stone. But Bulgaria is not ex-
tremely likely to do anything of the
kind. She would be quite as likely to
charge to the United States the cost OF
hunting up the alleged brigands to Sc
cure the release OF their captive, and tC
ask the American Board in the future
to keep its unwelcome missionaries Out
of her territories.
