WILL 1T HELP RECIPROCITY,

A question suggested by the leading
feature of the platform adopted by the
Republican convention of New Jersey
last week is, will the tragic death of
President Mckinley help the policy of
reciprocity? In their platform the New
Jersey Republicans say that they earn
estly approve and commend" the wise
and far-seeing declarations made by
President Mckinley sin his last and
most impressive public utterance."
The reference is of course to the re-
ciprocity policy, which was the sub
ject of President McKinley's address
at the Pan-American exposition.
1t is almost certain that no such
sweeping approval would have been
given to reciprocity If 1t had not been
for the tragedy which followed so soon
after President McKinley's address, and
which practically committed his ad-
ministration to 1t. The Republican
leaders are not by any means united in
favor of 1t. If President Mckinley had
succeeded in getting his party to sup
port it, Even now the extreme protec-
tion papers are cautioning President
Roosevelt against taking a position in
regard to 1t that he may not be able to
maintain.
What then was 1t that induced the
representatives of the Republican party
of New Jersey to indorse it without
dissenting voice? Was 1t not sentt-
ment rather than a conviction that it
should be the policy of the party?
1t certainly appears SO. 1t is proba-
BILE that If those same representatives
of the New Jersey Republicans had
been asked for a decided expression of
opinion of reciprocity as party
measure, the day before President Nc
Kinley was shot. not one in ten Of
them would have declared himself in
favor of it. Many might have refused
to give any expression of opinion
whatever. and a few might have ex-
pressed opposition to 1t. President Nc
Kinley's death, however, appears to
have brought the Republicans togeth-
er in support of his reciprocity policy,
and most of them now pretend to see
virtues in reciprocity they never before
thought it possessed.
1t is not improbable. therefore, that
the reciprocity policy will come nearer
being adopted now than 1t would If
President Mckinley had been spared
to use his influence in its behalf. 1t
would not be at all surprising If in this
reciprocity matter, the country should
see the novel spectacle of Presidents
influence. in respect to a measure of
policy. greater after his death than it
was when he was alive.

That love for even the accursed and

Don't do that he said, let the poor

For the moment there was a hot
exchange of words, but the snake was
lost to us. and mournfully we got on
the train for New York. Several hours
later Dittmars said: Jerry, maybe

The very extraordinary incident Of a
man crying himself TO death is report
ed from Indiana. The victim of grief
was Caleb Harvey, and the cause of
his distress was the assassination of
President Mckinley. When the Pres
ident was shot Harvey fell into tears.
When the President died he went into
paroxysms OF weeping which he could
not control. on Thursday he died,
and the doctors say he literally cried
himself 10 death.

No President ever began an admins
tration under more favorable auspices
than Roosevelt. The Republican par
ty is solidly behind him, and ne has
received numerous assurances from
leading Democrats that they will con-
tribute all in their power towards
making his administration a splendid
success. There probably never was
time since Washington when there was
less factionalism and political bitter
ness In the United states.

1t seems that the announcement that
the American Board Of Foreign Mis-
sions would authorize an agent in Con-
stantinople to open negotiations for the
ransoming of Miss Stone, the mission
airy who was captured recently by Bull
garian bandits, was premature. The
board fears it would establish a dan
gerous precedent If 1t were to pay a
ransom for the restoration of Miss
Stone to her friends, since there are IT'S
other missionaries in the territory
where Miss Stone was captured, and
the bandits might be induced to enter
regularly into the business of kidnap-
ping missionaries for their ransom.
Representations are to be made in
Washington and an effort made to get
the United States government to in
terest itself in the matter and demand
of the Bulgarian government the re-
turn of Miss Stone.

Fighting Bob" Evans is to be a wit
ness before the Schley court Of in
quiry, probably this week or next; and
when he goes on the stand some in
teresting developments are expected.
He was one of SIMPSONS captains, and
has heretofore stood by him loyalty;
but some things have occurred recently
to ruffie Fighting Bob's" temper and
make him a little inclined to make the
most Of any opportunity that might
present itself for getting in a blow
upon what is known as the navy
clique" 1t will be remembered that Ad-
miral Evans was censured by the de-
partment recently for some criticisms
that he passed in his book upon former
Secretary Chandler. Evans, 1t is said,
resents that reprimand, for which he
blames the Bureau of Navigation,
which is the headquarters of the al
legged clique. In order to show his dis
pleasure, it is expected that he will tell
the court some things that will be
rather sensational, and to Schley's adj
vantage.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Cincinnati Inquirer (Dem. )says:
MIR. Roosevelt is now in situation
to appreciate more than ever that
there is a vast difference between the
real and the ideal. 1t is easy to talk
about the merit SYSTEM but Will
Mr.. Roosevelt administer the civil SER
vice on the elastic plan that has pre-
vailed for several years? Will he no.
tify his Postmaster General that there
must be no more political assessments
in the Postofiice Department on the
stand and-de plan? Will he re-
fuse to take the protection of the civil
service from offices which campaign
managers want for redistribution? VIII
he be tolerant of those Congressman
who are stiff necked on the subject OF
the tariff, and who will be governed
by the wants of certain affluent men in
their districts, to the exclusion Of the
great scheme of reciprocity"
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem) says: 1.-THE Duke Of York gave
serious offense to the French Cana
dams when he was in Quebec by re-
plying only in English to the address
of welcome by the Mayor, and sought
to make amends in Montreal by re-
plying in French to the address pre-
scented him at the Vile Marie Convent.
The future King has doubtless learned
by this time that in official circles of
both Quebec and Montreal the French
language is first and his own tongue
a poor second"
The New Orleans Picayune Dem
says: ut must be understood that
there is a great opposition to reciproc-
ity in this country, and particularly Is
this the case where special interests
viii be attacked. Any reciprocity that
will admit German beet sugar duty
free would strike a heavy blow to the
beet and cane sugar-makers OF the
United States. There are other inter-
ests that would be injuriously affect
ed and 1t is from them that opposi-
tion 10 reciprocity Is to be expected"

A year or so ago Edward L. pwyer

A year or so ago Edward L. Dwyer
of Chicago acquired what in the choice
vernacular of his town is called "a
dog" During the time the dog" was
with him Dwyer enlisted in the United
States marine service. When the fumes
of the intoxicants got out OF his head
he found that he was on board ship
and bound for Manila, in the uniform
of Uncle Sam and with his name sign
ed hard and fast to papers that would
hold him for three years. Dwyer is
rich man, and had left good business
in Chicago. Finding himself in the
service regularly, he resolved to make
the best of 1t. He communicated with
Chicago and gave directions as best he
could for his affairs to be looked after,
then turned in and worked along with
the rest of the boys. He became known
as 1.-THE millionaire marine" and was
voted a good fellow. The other day
he arrived in New York on a returned
ship from the Philippines, and is now
endeavoring to secure his discharge.
