A TWILIGHT OF TWO BOSSES.

John J. Scanne president of the Fire De
partment of this city is probably inclined 10
think now that he paid too high a price for the
trotting geldine The Abbot when he signed MS
check for $4,000 for an animal which becomes
practically worthless soon as his speed de
parts That flying stallion Cresceus on Saturday
defeated The Abbot in a decisive manner for the
second time this year. Cresceus, when his
trotting DAYS are over may achieve new honors
as the sire of fleet colts and tillies whose eX-
ploits will enhance his reputation The Abbot
can look forward to no such new births of his
celebrity Geldings among thoroughbred run
ners, trotters and PAGERS are no longer petted
and hammered and held In favor when they
sink into their decline Their descent to Aver
nus is exceptionally facie. AS old age creeps
over them and their ability to capture prizes
passes away they thrust without mercy be-
tween the shafts of cabs, milk wagons and
even costermongers' carts Mr.. Scannell did
not exhibit his usual acumen when he purchased
The Abbot for the sum of $4,000. That was
too much to pay for geldins of the class of
this trotter Easy comes. easy goes, however.
and Mr.. Scannell made his money as easily as
Mr.. Croker made his. He is close to the Tam

him.
The voters of New-York. who will decide in
November whether or not Tammany is to have
another term of criminal misrule in the worlds

sources Mr.. Croker and Mr.. Scannel drew the
rich revenues which have enabled them to buy
horses at enormously inflated figures. Both of
them spend money their stables as II they

neither of them, so far is known. has ever

PHILIPPINE AND PACIFIC CABLES.

That is welcome Eews which General Chaffee
has sent by cable from Manila to the War De
partment at Washington, that the Interlnsulaf
system of telegraphlc cables in the Phlhppihe
archipelago has been completed. and that lt Is
now possible TO conduct intercourse among all
the islands. from the southern end of Bongas
TO the northern end of Luzon. over our own
American wires without having to make use
of any foreign lines under the straits or on the
land. That is precisely as it should be. The
Philippines are all American possessions, ana
communication among them should be entirely
under American control and under the Amer1-
can flag.
There is. however. a large fly in the pot of
precious ointment. General Chaffee has sent
this news by teegraphic cable But what
cable? A British cable This American officer
sending news TO America from an American
possession, had to send it two-thirds way around
the world over cable lines owned and con-
troled by another power and under its flag
That is not a creditable state of affairs. 1t does
not matter that the other power in question is
our closest kin and most cordial friend. There
are some intimacies to which not even such
should be admitted and one of them is COM
munication between different parts of our own
domain. Indeed. that very power has set the
example to that effect. The sine qua non of the
transpacifc cable which the British Empire is
now constructing was and is that II shall at
every point touch upon British soil, under the
British flag and be entirely and perpetually
under British control. That cable could have
been laid more directly. more easily and more
cheaply by letting it touch at one or two points
upon the friendly soil of United States posses
sions But the British wisely chose to go the
longer way. at greater expense and labor in
order TO have the cable all British.
The propriety and necessity in the case of the
United States are no less. The United States
needs an all American transpacifc cable, con-
Meeting the United States with the Philip
mines SO that all the islands Of that archipelago
shall be in immediate touch not only among
themselves under our flag but also with Wash
ington through the agency of a cable at every
point under United States control. 1t was once
hoped United States enterprise would be first TO
span the Pacific with electric wire. That
hone must now be abandoned. and we must
be content TO follow in the wake Of our more
enterprising British brethren. But at least we
should follow closely American messages to
and from the Philippines should go over an
American cable. and American mails. passen-
gers and goods should go in American vessels
under the American flag. Such was the achieve
ment urged by President Mckinley in his last
public utterance Such is the achievement
which il behooves the nation speedily 10 con-

time last year gives encouragement for the
hope that this industry will not again relapse
into dulness. Unusually heavy shipments Of
footwear from Boston for this season of the
year mark the closing rush of fall goods The
movement will probably decrease for the next
few weeks though there is no lack OF orders on

Farm products were influenced chiefly by
changes of temperature. Owing to the lateness
of the cotton crop, fears of injury from frost
had a stimulating effect for time, but no
actual harm was suffered, and the rapid prog
ress of picking daily diminished the quantity in
danger Port receipts much smaller than
last year, but there is reason to expect a
lighter production. AS the price is not forced

THE REV. DR.. @. II. EATON I'LL.
THE EFFORT OF PREACHING LAST THURS
DAY BRINGS ON AN ATTACK OF
NERVOUS PROSTRATIoN.

1t had been announced that memorial SER
vice for President Mckinley would be held yes
terday morning at the Church of the Divine
Paternity, Central Park West and Seventy
sixth-st and that the Rev. DR.. Charles H.
Eaton would preach on "A National Tragedy
and National Crisis" but DR.. Eaton was too
i'll to preach. The pulpit was filled by the as
sistant pastor the Rev. Charles F. Patterson.
Dr. Eaton returned from the St Lawrence
region. where he had been spending his vaca-
tiou specially to conduct the service last Thurs
day. At that time he thought that his own
health as we'll as that of Mrs. Eaton, had been
greatly improved, and the announcement of his
illness yesterday shocked the large congregation
that had gathered.
Dr. Eaton is staying at the home CT John D.
Creary, at No 205 West Eighty -hfth-st, a trus-
tee OF the church 1t said there last night
that the Doctor suffering from an attack OF
nervous prostraton. DR.. Eaton was visited by
a similar attack last May. The effort of preach
ing last Thursday proved too much for him, and
q relapse followed. DR.. Eaton was said 10 be
resting quietly. 1t is hoped he will be able TO
preach next Sunday.

MORE LIGHT IN TIE SOUTH.

We publish in another column Of this issue Of
The Tribune what may be Justly described as a
timely and interesting piece OF testimony TO the
growth and spread of liberal Ideas in Southern
politics. A few months ago. when Senator John
i. McLaurin of South Carolina. announced that
he had definitely cut loose from the negative and
reactionary programme which for a generation
had bound the party leaders of his section, and
would hereafter advocate political policies in
which he saw the greatest gains for Southern
industry and Southern commerce a friendly
word Of sympathy and encouragement was sent
him across the Georgia border line by one Of the
Democratic State officials at Atlanta. This Off
cial. the Hon. Thomas c. Crenshaw. head Of
the State Railroad Commission. was severely
censured, both in Georgia and South Carolina
for abetting what was termed a revolutionary
and anti-Democratic movement-the movement
namely, TO push among the Palmetto State
voters the imperiaistic, sound money and ship
subsidy doctrines of Mr. McLaurin's Progressive
Democracy. Mr. Crenshaw has resented this
criticism as at once illiberal and i'll founded,
and, as he is about TO retire from his State Of
fee, has felt himself at liberty TO reply to his
assailants In two open letters, in which he de-
fends the principles embodied in the McLaurin
programme as far more Democratic and far
more acceptable 10 Southern sentiment than the
diScredlted theories fastened on the Democratic
party through the triumph of Bryan and Bryan
ism.
Mr.. Crenshaw frankly announces himself as
opposed to each and every declaration written
into the Chicago and Kansas City platforms He
favors territorial and commercial expansion
subsidies for shipping. single gold standard
the retention of the Philippines as a depend
ency fair play for the negro voter and the sub
stitution in Southern politics generally of "busl-
ness" for sentiment" AS a Democrat who
voted for Bryan, yet sincerely hoped for the
election Of Mckinley, Mr.. Crenshaw sees in con-
tinued Democratic loyalty to Colonel Bryans
leadership only an invitation TO party disrup-
tion in States like Georgia and South Carolina.
whose industrial and commercial future COM
mits them TO q policy Of national energy and
national development; and he already predicts
the day when, II Democratic leaders cling 10
their old cries Of anti-ntarism and anti-im.
perialism, there will be "a formidable Republi-
lean party in Georgia well as In some Of the
border Southern States"
Mr.. Crenshaw's candid ayowaIs strengthen
the theory that the South is at last awakening
TO the fact that it has too long followed retro
grade and sentimental leadership, and that II
has unwisely sacrificed its true political and
