he Liberals and the Democrats.

There is something of interest for anti
Eryan democratic leaders in the latest move
of Lord Rosebery and it's result.
Tired at last of what he conceived to be
the unpatriotic attitude of the leaders or
the liberal party with respect to the Soulh
African war, Lord Rosebery formally re-
pudiated the course taken and raised
standard of his own. His action caused
sensation for just about day and nlsht.
But those who expected results OF prac-
tical character have been sadly disappolnt-
ed The liberal leaders in parliament re-
main unmoved. Some of them are as little
pro-Boer as is Lord ROsebery himself, anu
regret the party's record toward the war,
but when it comes to taking the back track
frankly and humbly they refuse They will
wait a little longer and for something to
turn up
1t is a difficult situation. Probably the
liberal leaders have persuaded themselves
that long as the war continues there VIII
be room but for enc party openly and ag-
Eressively advocating a vigorous prosecu-
ton Of IT. The conservatives have them
on the hip, as to that issue, and until new
issue arises, or is created by some clever
mareuver which does not embrace abject
apologies and explanations. they would do
well to save their face and drift, with
a weather eye peeled for signals from the
shore.
The anti-Bryan leader-say OF the type OF
David B. Hill-cannot put himself at the
head of a formidable following by fiat re-
pudation Of everything for which the party
under Mr.. Bryan's leadership has recently
stood. He may deplore the party's situation
profoundly. but there are some facts that
cannot be blinked. While sound money and
upholding American authority in the Philip
pines occupy public attention 1t will be diff
fcult to deprive the republicans of the ad-
yantages of their record. They stand
strongly and distinctly for those two issues
A newly led democracy, committed to the
same ends. could rot hope to supplant them

But something may turn up. and that very
soon. If the dalying about fair treatment
for Cuba continues much longer. and reci-
procity as recommended both by Mr.. Nc
Kinley and Mr.. Roosevelt is ignored by

The American Antilles.

Within a short time the islands just sold
by Denmark to the United States will be
transferred to the new sovereignty. Ac-
cording to present understanding this cere-
nOny will consist of the dispatch of de-
tachment of American soldiers from Porto
Rico, together with civil official from the
same territory, TO take over the new posses
sions formally in the name Of the United
States This foreshadows that for time
at least the three islands will be admins
tered under the cover of the existing gov
ernment of Porto Rico. which will probably
be the most satisfactory arrangement pos
sibIe. Questions have already arisen to
the future designation of the group thus
added to the American possessions. OF
course. they cannot properly be known
henceforth as the Danish West Indies by
which name they have been styled a
group in the past. They have been so long
associated as q group under the same gov
ernment too. that it will be difficult to re-
gard them as units. There is probability
that their names will be changed to a more
American style. They will presumably re-
main ST. Thomas, st. John and Santa Cruz
In the future the last of these titles being
preferred In this country to ''St. Croix."
The transition from Spanish to Danish did
the group, save by addition. although here
and there today double names for cities and
towns to be heard according as the
people one or the other of the prevail
ing languages. A suggestion lately
made that the islands be styled the ''Presi
dent group" and named respectively after
the three martyred American Presidents,
Lincoln Garfield and Mckinley. This sug-
gestlon has not been kindly received by
geograp pliers. who dislike changes in titles.
Another proposition was to leave the indi-
vifual names unchanged and to call the
group the Mckinley Islands. Inasmuch as
the addition to Porto Rico establishes a
new and distinct group Of West Indian
islands belonging to the United States 1t
may be that eventually these four islands.
with their smaller adjacent islets will be
known group as the American Antilles.

A Texans Fall From Grace.

The following from London refers to ex-
Governor Hogg of Texas, who is now in
that city organizing companies to develop
the oil fields of his native state:
Mr.. Hogg is a lion in society. He dimes
with the nobility nightly. He was the
guest of Mrs. Haig in Cadogan square to-
night. The other guests included the Mar
Quis and Marchioness of Northampton, Lord
and Lady Stavordale, Mr.. and Mrs Her
bert Asquith, Sir Robert Kingscote, pay
master to the kings household. and Sir
Francis Knollys. the kings private secre
tary."
Are some Of the strongest voices in the
democratic party to be silenced as to i'm
perialism as they have been as to silver?
There is Charles A. Towne, for instance.
who shouted for silver as long and as loudly
as he could. He ranked with Mr.. Bryan in
his denunciation of Wall street and the
gold standard. But he has gone over to the
enemy. He could not withstand the temp
tation to share in the prosperity which
would come in spite of all of his predic-
tions to the contrary. And so he has an
Office in New York now, and is sort of
Wall street attorney, and is prospering, as
he well deserves. He utilized calamity while
that seemed in order and he utilizes pros
perity quite as willingly in it's day.
Now here is Governor Hogg, a sturdy citi-
zen. and a first-rate stump orator, who
thumped Caesar and Imperialism soundly
in 1900, yielding tc temptation and going
over to the enemy. What Is such man
doing in the houses of the London nobility?
How can he be comfortable at table with

There is something enkindlng to the
imagination in the plans for the improve
ment of the city of Washington The more
these plans and pictures are studied, the
more thorough the more magnificent, the
nobler. do they seem. 1t is part Of the
good fortune of the republic that men of
the taste and large-mindedness of Wash
ington, jefferson and LEnfant shaped the
city at the outset, and that its Improve
ment' should have come, in the ripeness
/, of time, into the hands Of an expert COM
mission of the trained ability and moral
force Of Burnham, Mckim, st. Gaudens
and the younger Olmsted. All honor to
Senator Mcmillan for his share in bring
ing this great scheme to it's present
fourishing condition. and to the presidents
and secretaries and other officials who
have SO wisely and enthusiastically CO.
operated to bring about results the ac-
complishment Of which will enjoy the ap-
pIoVal and support Of the intelligence Of
the entire country.
The "old Washington is not without the
attraction given by a fine and liberal
ground-plan and the presence Of public
buildings adhering, under the influence Of
the city's founders, to the classic style of
architecture. The new Washington will
certainly compare favorably with any
modern capital. Two Of the city's existing
public monuments are of such transcend
ert nobility that, being accented by their
new surroundings, architectural and land
scape the whole impression will be unique
in its magnificence and beauty: we refer
to the great white shaft Of the Washing
ton Monument, and to the Capitol itself
the most imposing structure Of the modern
world.
To the devotee of art no new building
can ever appeal with the poignant beauty
of the ruin that crowns the Acropolis. In
Its pathetic dilapidation it remains the su-
preme and unapproached masterpiece Of
architecture. Nor can any later dome put
to shame that which greatened from the
brain of Michelangelo. The Capitol at
Washington Is not In rivalry in our
thoughts with the imperious associations
Of Athens and Rome. with any Of the
creations of the ancient world or Of the
Renaissance We speak of it in compari-
son with the finest accomplishments Of Eu-
ropean art, since the great days, In its
power, by reason Of its commanding posi-
ton and of it's own lines and masses, to
impress the minds Of men, Its technical
faults. whatever they may be. are lost
sight Of in its soaring, its imaginative pro-
portions. r.
The good work planned for the capital
city will give new impetus to the advanc-
Ing tide of civic improvement now passing
over the United States.
To US this great esthetic movement ap-
peals as being, In essence, a phase Of
patriotism.

burglar is one of the most dangerous and
