Winniger Bros. shows are holding
the boards this week under canvas on
our Public Square on the east side and
are doing a land office business due to
the fact that they give the people
their moneys worth. They give a
clear performance and nothing is done
or said that would shock the most
fastidious. Thay also change their

repeated on any night. The German

great cable line from San Francisco to the
Philippines. 1t Is vitality important that
the government as soon as possible possess
line of communication with the latter
islands, over which it has virtual control.
1t can now communicate by cable with
Manila, but not at a minimum Of delay or
of cost. In the years to come there will be
growing need of cable lines across the
Pacific. Manila is destined to be g. center
of the governments interest for long
period No more time should be lost, there
fore, in providing. by public or private en-
terprise, line over which the government
can on any occasion exercise control. Such
a line is insured by the contract just signed
by the administration. 1t promises con-
struction in the shortest possible period.
To reject 1t and to refuse to supplant 1t
with an appropriation permitting the i'm
mediate laying Of a government line
would be for Congress to adopt an utterly
indefensible attitude, against every dictate
of public policy.

Grafton she had taken her orders from
New York until Mr.. Bryan appeared and
put New York's nose out OF joint. Tho
south cared little for Mr.. Seymour She
cordially hated Mr.. Greeley. She never
warmed to Mr.. Tilden, and she detested him
after he refused to fight for the office to
which she insisted he had been elected. She
felt more cold respect than enthusiasm for
General Hancock and she had never heard
Of Mr.. Cleveland until Daniel Manning de-
clared that the man who was then governor
Of New York could carry the state as the
democracys presidential nominee. She ac-
cepted all Of those men simply on the
strength of assurances, largely from New
York that they could win.
The south is now considering the advisa-
bility Of re-establishing her old relations
with New York She wants to win in 1901,
and is giving very little time to the merits
Of her own sons. She admires them, and
wants the country at large to do so. but she
has no thought Of putting one of them for
ward for the presidential nomination. New
York would accept no such candidate, being
anxious to set up it's old monopolistic trust
again, and New Yorks objection is suf-
icient. The south In the next democratic
national convention will be as little of a

The South and the Presidency.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal wants

the democrats in 1904 1t declares that the
south controls the democratic party, and
hence is entitled to such recognition. 1t
mentions the names Of several Tennessee
ans-with but one exception unknown to ma

one of them would serve most satisfactorily
In the White House
The Commercial Appeals personal compli-

see contains many able men. The same is
true of other southern states That section
has never lacked for men of fine caliber and
capacity. If fewer OF them have found
their way into national life of late years
than formerly it has not been because the
stock was running short The south for a
very long time was the home of political
leaders In the national field
But the south does not control the demo-

than ten years ago, when the Hawaiians

The President and the Politicians.

Mr. Roosevelt Is now and then advised
oftenest by those who are hoping for op-
portunity to oppose him in 1904-to go in and
finish the politicians. The people, he is as
sured, are with him. Do as Mr.. Cleveland
did. Turn to the opposition if necessary to
carry through a policy once adopted. Mr..
Roosevelt, however. seems little disposed to
take such advice. His purpose evidently is
to hold his party together, and take little
time into the account of settling differences.
Mr. Cleveland started in to finish the poll
ticians, and ended by finishing his
party and himself. After the contest
over the repeal of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman act there were prominent dem
ocrats in Congress who never again visited
the White House while Mr.. Cleveland re-
manned there. They resented his appeal to
the republicans to help make history at the
expense of his own party. After the pass
age of the Gorman-Wiison tariff bill there
We're other prominent democrats in Con-
gress who held no further communication
with Mr.. Cleveland. They resented his de-
nunciation of those who had refused to
make tariff bill in accordance with his
wishes. So that when the party met in
national convention at Chicago in 1896
hatred of Mr.. Cleveland and opposition to
his wishes controlled the body absolutely.
Mr.. Roosevelt made an earnest appeal to
Congress last winter in favor Of reciprocity
with Cuba. He was entirely right in the
position he took, and he stated his case
with great force. He was defeated by
detection in his own party. He did not
abuse anybody. or try to drive anybody,
but submitted to the conditions of the hour,
and let it be known that he would take the
subject up again next winter.
Among those who opposed Mr.. Roosevelt
in this matter was Senator Mllard of Ne
braska, whose attitude, as events Showed,
was not agreeable to his own constituents.
But there were no reproaches from the
President. Mr.. Millard continued his visits
to the White House. and was always cor
daily received. He has just paid visit
to Oyster Bay, and IN an interview has said
to a Star reporter:
Il never had a more delightful visit with
him or found him In such good humor,
although he is usually agreeable enough.
What do I think will be done at the
next session about Cuba? Oh, believe the
President will formulate q treaty with Cuba
and ask the Senate to ratify it, and that
the Senate will do as he desires. don't
contest. You see, it's bad thing for
man to oppose the administration. 1 am
considerable of a partisan and dislike to see
one faction arrayed against another. It's
bad for the party. I think every republi-
can will follow the President at the next
session"
Mr.. Rooseyelt's leadership Is better than
Mr.. Cleveland's. Too much self-assertion Is
expensive. 1t often defeats its own ends

lutte certainty. And this Is all that any man
under formal accusation can reasonably

This case. it is hardly necessary TO say. is
one Of very great interest. At time when
certain politicians in office and certain anti
imperiaIist agftators out of office. were max
ing general charges of inhumanity against
the army in the Philippines with the view
OF forwarding the cause of sCuttle, Corporal
OBrlen. who had served in the Philippines,
came out with particulars. His statement
was extremely severe, both against the gov
ernment and against individuals. and 1t gave
great encouragement to the opponents of
the administration. Naturally and very
properly. those whom he had accused by
name demanded to be heard in reply; and
the Senate committee on the Philippines af
ter hearing Corporal OBrien heard them.
The result is this Indictment of Corporal
OBrien for perjury. II he Is guilty he ought
to be punished. If he is innocent he can
not be at too great pains to establish the
fact, and II he should establish the fact he
will do more than simply clear his own
name of most damaging charge
He will do this much more. Carl Schurz

the manner in which the investigation of
the army's actions in the Philippines was
conducted by the Senate committee at the
recent session of Congress, and declaring

General Movers Death.

The death of General Meyer is a loss to
the cause of good government in South
Africa. He had high order of ability and
a very firm character. While there was
the faintest hope of success he fought the
British with conspicuous valor, but when
convinced that the Boer cause was hope
less he counseled peace, and was an inf1u-
ertial instrument In bringing 1t about. This
required as much moral courage as his pre-
vious position had required physical cour-
age, but he possessed an abundance of both
kinds The last-ditchers among his own
people assailed him for awhile, but their
criticism had lost its rancor before he left
for Europe. During his brief sojourn in
England he received much attention, and
he carried himself with dignity That he
would have returned home stronger advo-
cate of peace than ever Is certain and that
he would have played an important part in
establishing and buttressing the new order
in South Africa is more than likely. He
earned his fame. and 1t Will endure among
his own people.
