FACTION CONTROL.
Work Cut Out for Him to
Keep Peace.

After a national election the COM
mittee of either party as far as the
active operation of politics are dead
except to meet and call the next ma
tional convention. The chairman of
the successful party has generally
had considerable to say about the.
disposition of the patronage, and for
this reason Mr.. Hanna has been espe-
cially distinguished. By the death of
President Mckinley Mr.. Hanna as a
dispenser of patronage will cease te
exist. 1t is quite possible that if he
cannot agree with his brother senator
from Ohio he may not be able to even
dictate the Ohio appointments. His
open opposition to President sRoose-
welt when three-fourthss of his party
were. calling for his nomination as
vice president cannot but have left
feeling of noncompatibility between
them. So Hanna will be looked upon
as dead duck instead of dictator.
There are other senators who will
be somewhat in the same fix, such
as Platt,' of New York; then there are
others who have been nursing presi-
Dental booms, such as Fairbanks and
Spooner, which will have to be post
poned to a more convenient season
or perhaps like other ambitions laid
away for ever. That President Roose-
Welt will demand another term, as an
Endorsement of whatever policy he
may eventually decide upon, is GER
tain, and unless powerful senatorial
.cabal is brought about to nominate a
more 'subservient candidate, he will
I'be nominated without opposition.
From present appearances Presidents
Roosevelt intends to placate all the
factions in his party, but he lacks the
patience and diplomacy of. his prede-
cessor, without which entire unanim-
ity is rarely accomplished He will
also have to throw overheard many
cherished notions, such. as civil sery-
ice reform, control of the trusts and
reform of the tariff, all of which the
great majority of the leaders of his
party are absolutely opposed to.
So there may be peace amongst
the factions of the republican party,
but there are many events that will
happen before the spring of 1904 that
may develop the most intense rivalry
and excitement.

was blessed with five manageable
daughters. AS the curate had fore
seen, it was not long before he had
an opportunity of bringing himself
under the bishops notice; and, as he
had likewise foreseen, the superior cut
of his long black coat, and the superior
polish Of his manners made a certain
impression on his lordship's mind.
Mr.. D'Oyley was asked to garden par
ty at the palace, and he made such
good use of his time on that occasion
that before long he was invited to the
palace a second time. He then con-
trived to be employed by one of the
bishops chaplains as a sort of unpaid
assistant; and thenceforward his
progress became easy.
Before Dr.. Smiles had been six
months at Bishops Tilton Mr.. D'Oyley
had contrived to be on terms of SYM
pathetic friendship with Ernesta, the
bishops third daughter. She had con-
fided to him her preference for the
Sarum Use; he had told her with a
sigh that the low tone of the diocese
was a great cross to him. In short,
they understood one another. But
Ernesta. knew very well that for her
to marry a penniless curate was out
of the questions; while the clergyman
never dreamt of wedding portionless
girl, as the third Miss Smiles certain
ly was.
Matters were in this position when
the diocese was startled by the news
that the rector of Dftchley had sud
denly died. Now, Ditchley was one of
the plums in the Brampton pudding.
Mr.. D'Oyley had no occasion to look
it up in Crockford. He knew all about
it-e 500 per annum, and a house;
patron, Lord Cuddesly.
For some time the curate of Market
Dedham sat bordering. Then he got
up and rummaged out an old universe
ty calendar, and by its help discovered
the pleasing fact that Hon. Algernon
/Debray, Lord Cuddesly's eldest oson
had been at Oxford for three months
before he himself left that seat OF
learning. Mr.. D'Oyley, having ascer.
tanned this fact, resumed his medita-
tions.
= The following day he went to the
palace and asked for the bishop. The
bishop received him with business
like air, which would have been dis
concerning to most men, but Rev. Sep
timus D'Oyley refused to notice it
He seated himself, and proceeded to
inform his lordship that he had te
speak of a subject that was very near
to his heart. The bishop stared. Their
the young clergyman mentioned the
name of Miss Ernesta.
"Siri" cried the bishop, half rising
from his chair in his anger.

Diplomacy ~

nEV. SEPTIMUS D'OYLEY was
II without any special advantages
of birth, fortune or intellectual abll-
-ty; yet discerning person might have
predicted with safety that he would
rise in, the world. He had good adj
dress, plenty of assurance (decently:
veiled) ,/and the outward appearance
of a gentleman. But, more than this,
hewas a man of resource, as this story
will show.
Very early in his clericalscareer Mr..
D'OyIey had recognized the fact that
the estimation in which a curate is
held largely depends on the factoof his
being unmarried. Married curates, he
observed, were invariably "huff'd an
cuff'd an disrespeckit"-at theomost
they got newly-created parishes, with
a large working-class population, and
an endowment of 9200 per- annum.
After he had been some years In the
diocese of Brampton, Rev. SSeptimus
D'Oyley threw up aPleasant and we'll
paid curacy in order to obtain a less
conspicuous and less lucrative post in
the sleepy old town of Market Ded-
ham. This looked like a retfograde
movement. But Mr.. D'Oyley knew
very well what he was about. The
bishop of Brampton, now quite an old
man, was doing away the last years
of his life at Bishops Tilton, only a
few miles from Dedham. 1t could not
be long, so argued AIR. D'Oyley, before
Bishop Dewlap resigned, or was gath
cred to his fathers; daif an ener-
getic, miGdle-aged man came into his
room, the clergy at Market Dedham
would be well within the sphere of his
cognizance. Q
What the curate had expected actu-
ally took place. Drs eDewlap departed
this life; and Rev. Gregory Smiles
reigned in his stead. The new bishop
of Brampton was married man; and

POINTS AND OPINIONS.

From the present outlook in the
Philippines we may expect call for
more troops and more money. I'm
perialism comes high if we must
have it.
England and Germany are get
ting away with us in our trade with
Cuba, exports of textile goods hav-
ing declined Is per cent: Is it tariff
what we have been considering as our
own ground?
Purchasing bonds when a sur
plus has been unexpectedly piled up
in the treasury is justifiable, but to
pursue a policy of high taxation on
purpose to thus favor the bondhold-
ers and the Wall street gamblers is
highway robbery of the taxpayers.
Never at any time has the bust
ness man been willing to subordinate
his Judgment to partisanship. He is
as fully convinced as are many of his
fellows in his party that protection
as it is made lawful by the Dingley
bill, is no longer necessary. He is
convinced further that in respect to
many articles now on the tariff list
it is positively detrimental to the
country and to. its commercial pros
peets.-MinneapoE Times.
The Wall street gamblers are
afraid of the future, according to the
press reports, and the boom in stocks
is over. The next thing to look fol-
will be reaction from high prices
in necessities and the reduction OF
wages, or the trusts will have nc
money to pay dividends on their wa
tered stocks. Morgan e. Co. must be
carrying pretty heavy load by this
time if the reports are true of the
amount of trust stocks that has
been unloaded on the syndicate.

Why HOWARD DIDN'T DROWN


Il remember 9, story about Phoc4an
Howard" says Senator Mason, &C
cording to the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
(which has never been printed, and
which I have always thought good.
The city of ShaWneetown was under
going its. periodical inuncation from
the. floods of the Ohio river, and
Phocian Howard was sent down by a
Chicago paper to write up the calam-
ity. This is the story as Phocian tells
it:
II found everything under water,
and i hired a one-legged, suffering
boatman' to row me over the town.
We got along all right until we came
to the cemetery. Then. in trying to
read the Inscription on a monufaent,
I leaned over so far that I. lost my
balance and 'tumbleds into the water.
Down I went and came up again, and
struggled to reach the boat. I could
not swim lick, and the. boat was out
of reach. 1 saw. the boatman waving
his wooden, leg and struggling to say
something. ] went down again. think
ing to myself, %"Here I am, a first
class man in a ~second-class town,
drowning in third-class graveyard.
Too bad.'' L. came up again, still out
of reach of the boat. I knew I was
sure to drown if I went down again,
SO made desperate struggle. The
boatman was still hourishing his
wooden leg and wiggling his mouth,
trying to say something. This was
kept up till just as I was going down
again, when he broke the puckering
string and shouted: IS
"s" St-st-st-stand up.' i stood up
and found that the water came about
to my waist"

CRIMINALS.

Newspapers in and out OF North Car

abuse OF the pardoning power. 1t has
Of the states as to become a positive Of
fence and a menace TO society. The
cry is end it, or create a Board Of Par
dons for each state. In Maryland.
Pennsylvania and perhaps other states
there is a strong opinion in favor OF a
speedy change. The Philadelphia Re
cord says, as we learn for we rarely
see it now:
Pardon boards are a legislative in
vention for weakening the punitive
han of justice by dividing the p
sibility for the remission of penalties.
The governor of North Carolina has
devised a means of making surrepti-
tious mercy difficult in that state by
requiring that all applications for ar
don of %convicts must be duly advertised
in advance in the newspapers OF the
locality in which the crime was COM
mitted. This is an innovation that
might be advantageously introduced in
other states"
No one man ear possibly attend to
the duties and responsibilities of the
p%ardoning of criminals duly convicted
in the courts, and attend to other ur-
gent and necessary duties. Governor
Jarvis said that the applications that
pressed upon him for p~ardoning OF
criminals convicted and sentenced gave
him more trouble and anxiety than all
the other duties of his high and very
responsible office. 1t is a cruelty to any
one man to require this great burden
to be laid upon him. and it as a wrong
to the state as we'll as a reflection upon
the present legal system. The inefi-
| cacy of jury trial must be very deplor-
| able or else so many petitions would
not go to the governor. The Baltimore
Herald says:
1.-The governor is left to act only in
the light of the knowledge of the case
he atains by his own efforts, and in the
face of numerously signed petitions in
behalf of the offender, which nearly
always are secured with but little eX-
ertion.
Obviously it is too much to expect
that one man, who has a multitude of
other duties to perform, can pay close
attention to each pardon case that
comes before him."

SOME WISE SUGGESTIONS.

That anarchists are atheists is proba-
God. so far as in them lies, from His
own World and then they are ready for
~'treasons, s~tratagems and spoils," and
for general or particular deviltry.
People who mir and have some I'M
d~erstanding of human nature as well
as revealed religion, perceive that when
God is left out in a mans thoughts,
and he regards Christianity as a
myth, and Christ Jesus as pretender
and impostor, hat then he is at sea
and is tossed tempestuously until the
final shipwreck comes to him.. An
Episcopal clergyman of distinction,
Rev. DIR. Huntington lately said that
anarchy is atheism: it is the denial Of
any overruling providence and the re-
fusal to recognize any God whose will
is law" The remedy, therefore, is to
be found in religion. What the nation
greatly needs is a revival of genuine
religion. He thinks our whole uca
tional system needs a religious illumi-
nation from base to cope. Let us in
ject more of Christian morals, I do not
say of Christian dogma (although there
is a close connection between the two),
scheme for maturing the child life of
the nation: let us heal our miserable
ecclesiastical divisions: let us call back
our people to a better observance of the
day of sacred rest. etc"
That is wisely said and most import
ant and true.
We have thought several times when
in the it was stated thar
the foreign missionaries were returning
TO China in its chaotic, disturbed con-
dition, that it was premature and not
without much hazard. 1t is best, we may
not doubt to defer . return fer present
and until the political and warlike skies
have cleared more than now. Those
informed know that of all foreign
statesmen. Sir RobertHart, the English
man resident in China for more than
twenty years, and a British official, is
missionaries now flead. He tells them
10 wait before ~venturlng to return. He
tells them"to study local conditions'and
not to go into localities except where
the governor or viceroy is friendly, as
in the province of Shantung.r He gives
excellent suggestions and that
when they do return, Sir Robert ad-
vises the missionaries and the societies
who send them and pay them and
direct them to be careful not to med
die with political or governmental at
fairs. He remarks that the labors of
the missionaries will benefit many, but
will probably offend more, n adds:
The missionary ought to content him
self with making his disciples good
and good citizens, and leave it to
the duly authorized officials to interpret
and apply the law, and to administer
their affairs in their own way"
