RETAIN THEIR cHIvALRY.

Washington Star: The old leaders
in the senate On the minority side, and
particularly those who served in the
Confederate army, have taken no part
in this attack on the army. Their
sagacity and chivalry must both have
advised against it. They are good
partisans, and doubtless are as anx-
ious for an issue as any of their asso-
ciates. but they can see that even if a
triumph at the polls could be gained
by such ear Ii would prove more
vexatious that profitable to the win
ners.
We have set a task for the army
mere difficult In many particulars than
ever set for American soldiers before.
To hold the army up to obloquy, there
fore, upon the gable of a few men,
some of whom are entirely without
knowledge of wal, is an offense
against fair play and decency which
any party as a party should hesitate
to commit.

violence, either destroying property

So
violence, either destroying property
or attacking other workmen who may
not e fit. to join the strike, or who
may be willing to take the place of
the strikers, they speedily lose the
sympathy Of the public, and with the
public sympathy gone they are depriv-
ed Of one Of their most valuable
weapons of warfare. Hence the earn
estness with which President Mitchell
seeks to impress upon the miners,
members Of his organization, the
necessity of abstaining from all acts
of violence. Public sentiment will
not yield on that point. It comedies
readily the right to strike, but it will
never concede the right to commit
acts Of lawless violence and cruelty.

partment, filed and turned over to
Senator Culberson for use in the SEN
ate is still under Investigation. AS
yet no proof has been found that Cen

The president and Secretary Root
take the ground that they have no
right to suspect General Miles or any
other officer Of such conduct, but that
they have a right to learn if they can
the identity of the guilty person. no
matter who he is. A conservative re-
publican senator today said:
I'VE have net the slightest doubt
that General Miles has been feeding
all sorts of information into the dem

on First Ballot.
Harrisburg, Pa, June 1.-THE NOM
ination of Judge Samuel w Penny
packer was practically assured when
the republican state convention con
vened today, though the followers of
Attorney General Elkin were full of
fight. r
The crush at republican headquar-
| tiers for convention tickets was so
great that several persons tainted and
it was necessary to call policemen to
assist in restoring order.
A wave of applause swept through
the densety packed house when Sen
ators Quay and Penrose took their
seats well in front.
When Elkin entered at 10:& there
was a d%eafening cheer. Many of the
delegates rose in their seats to cheer
and wave flags.
He personally directed his lieuten-
ants from the floor.
General Reeder called the conven-
ton to order at 1O:4O.
Mr.. Elkin gave notice that the seats
of the delegates from the first Luzern
county district were contested. These
delegates are anti-Elkin and were
seated by the state committee.
Senator Quay's nomination of his
colleague, Senator Penrose fer tenn
porary chairman was in the form of a
brief resolution. Senator Penrose
made no speech but proceeded to the
prompt dispatch of the business of
the convention.
A Philadelphia delegate offered a
resolution which was unanimously
adopted, that Senator Quay be elected
state chairman. While the committees
were organizing. speeches placing in
nomination candidates for governor
were made. Robert s.. Murray of
Cambria offered the name of Elkin.
Judge Pennypacker was named by
Hampton L. Carson Of Philadelphia.
The name OF Lewis A. Watros4 was
withdrawn. This left the field to Pen
nypacker and Elkin and candidates
were then presented for lieutenant
governor.
Pennypacker was nominated for gov
ernor on the first ballot. The vote
was: Pennypacker, FOG; Elkin, 1852.

A BUSINESS TALK.

st. Paul Dispatch: For about the
first time in all the wearying talk
about isthmian canals, we have it dis
cussed- for what it is, a strictly bust
ness proposition, admitting, for the
moment, that a canal is to be. con-
structed. Senator Hanna brushed all
sentiment and perjudice aside and
talked like a business man on the
business side of the two routes. Here
he is more at home than when he ven
lures into the field of economics or
when, for partisan purposes, he adj
vises letting well enough alone" AS
a business man, he presented the mon
ey to be invested and the compare
tive returns upon it. AS a ship owner,
he talked on the question of naviga-
ton involved. The difference in the
annual cost of maintenance, $780,
900, he said, represented a capital of
$65, OO0, 900 at the interest rates of
government loans. AS shipmaster, he
ccmbatted the doldrum argument
against the Panama route with the
statement that the trade winds, that
are urged as an advantage for the
Nicaraguan canal. are a strong disad-
vantage because of their effect on the
ships in passage, making it unable to
keep them off the canal banks. In
conclusion, he supports the Spooner-
Hoar proposal, to leave the selection
of the route with the president.

WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

One of the notable events of the
week is the celebration of the CEN
tennial of West Point military acad-
envy. The ceremonies incident to the
affair began yesterday, although the
actual one-hundredth anniversary
does not occur until tomorrow. when
the president and members of his cab
met and many of the distinguished
graduates of the school will be in at
tendance.
Proud as we all are of the school
and much as it has done for the coun-
try in giving to it some Of the great
est warriors known to history, yet the
fact remains that it owes it's existence
to a congress that acted in defiance
OF what was claimed to be especially
prohibited by the constitution.
Thomas Jefferson, at the close of the
war of the revolution, when it was
suggested that in view of it's import
ance as a military post West Point
should be converted into a school for
military training, declared that such
a school had no warrant in the con.
stitution. Washington, who strongly
favored the proposition, expressed
himself as unwilling to do anything
unconstitutional and he referred the
matter to congress fer it's decision as
to whether the establishment Of such
a school would be in violation of the
constitution.
Congress viewed the matter in a diff.
ferent light than Jefferson and voted
for the school as q national necessity,
thereby establishing a precedent as
to the relative powers of the nation

OBJECTIONABLE FEATURE.

Omaha Bee: The most objection
able feature of the Philippine bill
passed by the senate is that relat-
ing to the coinage Of silver and 1t is
very probable that this provision will
be changed in the house. The New
York Journal Of Commerce thinks it
incomprehensible that the senate
should have provided for establishing
the silver staGdarl III the island; ana
at the same time authorized the is
sue of bonds for thu acquisition Of the
friars' lands and for local improve
ments payable in gold. While the sill.
yer currency is necessary enough, re-
marks that paper, it is in no respect

as to- our silver dollars in the United
States also, and as to subsidiary sill
yer in most of the commercial world"
The report of the house committee
on insular affairs presented a strong
argument for a Philippine currency
based on gold. It urged that "the
adoption of an American silver coin
of the same weight and fineness as the
Mexican, or of a similar weight and
%fineness, coined on private account
without limit, would perpetuate the
fluctuations in gold exchange which
have caused so much embarrassment
to trade" The financial situation in
the Philippines is such as to- have
led the Chamber of Commerce of Ma
Mia a short time since to appeal to
President Roosevelt to induce con
gress to provide a remedy. The cur
rency feature of the senate's bill does
not do this, but on the contrary would
perpetuate the conditions to which the
existing situation is. due.
1t seems obvious that the senate has
made a grave mistake in this matter,
which the house should and doubtless
will correct. What is needed for the
Philippines, as pointed out in the re-
port of the house committee, is "a
coinage system which does not seri-
ously disturb the customs Of the Fill
ipino people, but which gives them a
unit of currency easily convertible in
to the gold unit of the United States"

who voted for West Point, he consid-

ALL FOR POLITICS.

While pretending to be ~unalterab1y
opposed to anything and everything
calculated to promote monopolies and
posing as the only and true friends
of the people, the minority in con-
gress continues it's opposition to the
construction of a government cable
acros the Pacific, a bill for which is
now pending in that body. Inaction
by the government in that direction
can have only one result, construction
of the cable by a company of individ-
uals, thereby creating a monopoly to
which no only the people, but the
government will have to become con-
tributors. But for this the democrats
care little, if anything. It will afford
them another opportunity for arraign-
ing the republican party as a friend
and abettor of trusts and monopolies
and give them, as they think, more
campaign material. Popular senti-
ment is as strongly in favor of a gov
eminent cable between the mainland
and our insular possessions as it is
favorable to an isthmian canal, but
that does not seem to cut any figure
with some of the men in congress-, par
tfcularly the democrats. In their es-
timation politics is paramount to all
else and public demand and public
welfare is a secondary consideration.

A BRYAN POSSIBILITY.

st. Louis .Globe-Democrat: The eff
fort which is being made to induce
William j.. Bryan to accept the NOM
ination of the democratic-populist COM
bination of Nebraska for governor
shows that his friends intend to keep
him at the front, at least until after
the election of 1904. If there were
any chance of his success in the can
vass for governor there would be an
obvious reason for compelling him to
accept the candidacy, even though he
says he does not want it, and will re
fuse it if it is rendered to him. His
friends think he a carry the state;
and, therefore, they are working to
get him the candidacy.
strained to accept nominations which
they did not want and which they
declared they would decline. Senator
Hill positively forbade his friends to
name him for governor of New York
in 1894, but they went right ahead
and put him up, and he was forced to
accept the candidacy. Bryan will be
in a similar position. Hill at that
time was a presidential a%spirant, as
he is still, and he knew that a defeat
for the governorship, v e though he
had held that Office before and did not
want it then, would injure his prestige
in the a for the presidency, as it
did. He was drafted, however, and
Bryan will be compelled to accept the
g~overnorship candidacy now If his
friends insist on it.
Undoubtedly Bryan's candidacy
would make the election in Nebraska
this year Of interest to the whole
country. Bryan himself has said he
has ceased to be an aspirant for the
presidential nomination in 1904, but
if he should be elected governor of
his state in 1902 he would have an ex-
cellent chance to sweep the national
convention of his party two years
hence. This is a contingency which
makes his canvass in Nebraska of
great interest to the country. All the
gold democrats, of course, are against
Bryan, but not many of that sort Of
democrats can be found in Nebraska
even now. II Bryan should give the
word he would be nominated for gov
ernor by reclamation. There is q
chance that he will be nominated
whether he gives the word or not, and,
if nominated he will be compelled to
accept. This is something which will
give a great deal Of C to the
men who II attempting to reorganize
