Devery's Rise Alarming.

Ex-Chief of Police Devery is proving very
unacceptable as a political leader in certain
democratic circles in New York. When he
first raised his flag people were simply
amused. The flamboyancy of his proclama-
ticns suggested a sort of joke It well
coined. because the dull season was at hand,
and the public in some way must be enter
tained. But, as now appears, no joke was
intended. Mr.. Devery was very much in
earnest, and he is making progress. His
appraisement of his constituency is verified
on every hand. Free picnics, free drinks,
free ice, and lots of jollying In the yernacu-
lar. are more potent in that old Tammany
stronghold than free silver, free trade, and
free riot as expounded by Mr.. Bryan ever
were in any western locality. The result
is veritable Devery boom The ex-chief
may capture his district, and then be
couraged to go after bigger game.
Democrats of an intellectual cast all over
the city displeased and uneasy at
the developments. Their fear is that the
success of Mr.. Devery will cost the party
many votes at the polls Conservative
people, they insist, demand something very
different from that Tammany is now in
despair because OF its low leadership and
what that has brought about. What will
Crokerfsm if the rise of Deveryism Is to
follow?. The one is as bad as the other.
Both stand for loot, and for control of the
city by it's most undesirable and dangerous
classes. Besides, il Mr.. Devery is to be-
come a power in affairs it will mean the
fattening of a new squad of understrappers
at the public expense Many of the Croker
squad having had their fill have turned
away.
One may sympathze with this view of
matters without losing sight of the old
fashioned human nature which supports Mr..
Devery's activity. AS that husky and
'chesty' statesman reasons out the situa-
ton, why. the free-and-easy and un-
educated element is when organized so pow
erful in New York politics. should it not
be organized and used by men of that class?
Why not encourage and reward home tall
ent? Mr.. Devery is attempting no conf
dence game on the people at large. This is
no masquerade on his part. He makes no
pretensons to education, or to patriotism.
What are called issues as between the two
parties nothing to him. A discourse on
the subject by the most fluent of takers
would put him to sleep His is a simple
and artless platform. He asks the public
only to believe that he is ION the level"
and that his sole aim Is to get a liberal
share of what may be going for his neigh
bors and friends. He Is about such man
as Mr.. Croker was in Mr.. Croker's early
days

Boots, Shoes and Votes.

There is dismay in the ranks of the Quay
forces in Pennsylvania. They are in danger
of losing the farmer votes which. 1t was
expected, would be generally cast for their
candidate for the governorship, Judge Pen
nypacker. One Of the strong reasons ad-
vanced for nominating him was the fact
that he, despite the change in fashions, had
continued to wear boots. The managers of
the party foresaw that this old-styled oddly
of garb would prove a strong campaign
card and had even prepared literature on
the subject to send broadcast through the
state. But suddenly their hopes have been
blasted. Judge Pennypacker has taken to
wearing shoes and it is said that he has
announced that he will never again encum-
Der his feet and legs with boots. no mat
ter what the political exigency. So that
element of strength is gone. The boot is
sue will not figure this year in Pennsyl-
vania politics. The passing Of the boot has
left some questions to be settled. The re-
publican managers are asking wnethcr some
venomous enemy of Senator Quay has been
the serpent to tempt Judge Pennypacker to
know the joy of shoes in midsummer. Why
did he shift suddenly from boots to shoes
at this critical stage of his career? There
is trouble in store for the man who sue
cessfully assailed the judges prejudices
against modern footwear.

Mr.. Whitney in Despair?

THE trouble is that the democrats have
no issues and no man" This remark is
attributed to William c. Whitney. 1t is
sweeping. Did he make it? We may well
believe that Mr.. Whitney has no sympathy
with his partys outcry about trusts AS a
very rich man and a resident of New
York, without political aspirations, he can
afford to be frank on that subject. AS the
man who laughed az his party's free trade
platform in 1892 and encouraged it's repu-
diation by Congress, he may not be sus-
pected of any sympathy with the current
talk about reviving the tariff for campaign
purposes And as the man who while Sec
retary of the Navy did so much for the
rehabilitation of the navy he doubtless has
small patience with those who see in the
larger army and navy a menace to repub-
ican institutions. Militarism and imperial
ism can have no terrors for one familiar
as he is with the worlds progress And

Mr.. Whitney helped to defeat at Chicago ten
years ago; Mr.. German. who agrees with

altogether likely that the aldermen, unless
an unexpected bolt now occurs prompted
by corrupt selfishness or by the influence
Of a rival railroad system, will accept the
new franchise and permit the beginning
of the operations which will give to New
York one of the finest railroad terminals
In the world and will afford a vast relief
to the great travelling public entering the
metropolis from the south and the west
by this route. 1t would seem as though the
reasonable objections of the aldermen had
been met. The roads refusal to be bound
on the question of labor may cause
further short delay, but that is not so prob
able cause for a second block as the
question of the city's right to take posses
sion of the tunnel itself after a period
of years. The corporation holds out stiff
ly for perpetual franchise, while yielding
in the matter of the periodical readjust
ments of the rate of compensation. Presi-
dent Cantor of the Borough of Manhattan
believes that the Incorporation of the ter
minal company under the New York laws
will give the municipality the right of con-
demnation. The railroads representatives
declare that 1t will be impossible to float
the bonds for the improvement If there
is any question as to the perpetuity of
the right or any danger Of condemnation.
This point may be left to the courts to
decide under a general Interpretation Of
the franchise and the state laws or 1t may
be pressed to an Issue at this stage. It
seems reasonable that the improvement
should be permanent as regards the right
of ownership. Yet there is now a decided
opposition among the residents of large
cities to the granting of franchises and
privileges on a perpetual basis. A COM
promise may perhaps be reached in this
case by limiting the right of the corpora
tion to one hundred years, subject to re-
newal if the municipality is then willing.

The Pennsy's New York Tunnel

Ihere Is now a bright prospect that the
New York aldermen will consent to the
approval Of amended franchise for the
ne" pennsylvania railroad terminal in that
city. AS result OF their action Of the
other day in rejecting the original agree
ment between the city and the corporation
q conference was held yesterday between
representatives Of both the city and the
railroad. at which certain concessions were
proposed and the basis of a new franchise
was tentatively agreed upon. The railroad
company does not yield in the matter of It's
opposition TO the suggested restrictions as

aldermen on certain other points, which an

The franchise is TO be controlled by a s,Ib-
sidiary company organized under the laws
Of the state of New York, instead of di-
rectly by the Pennsylvania corporation
thus giving the legislature of New York
and the state courts a jurisdiction over the
terminal! The health officers of the CITY
are to have sanitary supervision over the
tunnel, thus clearing all doubts as to the
city's right to prevent the growth of such
nuisances as have for years been present
In the New York CentraIs tunnel The
city Is to have space for police and fire

demonstrated. are not feasible at the depth

men are to have a voice in fixing the rate

year period has expired and the rate for
that period shall not be taken as a prece-
dent in fixing the new rate. Thus, what

Reorganization in South Africa.

Everything seems to be going well in the
matter of reorganization in South Africa.
Both Briton and Boer realize fully the
necessity of cooperation in the task. and
both are pledging themselves to their best
endeavors.
Mr. Chamberiain's remarks in parliament
yesterday were very much to the point.
During the war he was represented as the
hard man. whose real purpose was not only
the absorption of the territory of the Beers
but the determination of the Boer people.
In case Of a British triumph he would be
sure, 1t was predicted, to drive to despera-
tion by exactions such of the Beers as had
escaped death in the field. Nothing of
this appears in his present declarations.
He speaks for peace and progress in South
Africa, and pledges afresh the British gov
ernment to liberal redemption of all the
promises made at the time of the surrender
OF the Beers. The Beers could ask for
nothing fairer IN the light of the capitula-
ton than Mr. Chamberlain holds out.
The Boer leaders on their part are carry
ing themselves with dignity and entire good
faith In defeat. In cable from Cape Town
describing a reception to Generals Botha
and Delarey at Stellenbosch on Monday ap-
pears the following:
General Botha in feeling address said
the day of surrender was the most painful
in his life, but now that it had been done,
he prayed earnestly that his hearers should
consider 1t Gods will. Although Afrikander
nationality, in manner. has been buried,
Il would remain the most important factor
in the social life of South Africa. General
Botha paid tribute to former President
Steyn's abilities as a statesman Now let
us stop bOthering ourselves about politics,
said the general, and try to make ourselves
happy in South Africa, because We have no
home elsewhere
This is in the spirit of brave and wise
man. Some of the Boer agents who fought
for the cause in Europe and America with
rhetorical proclamatiOus were very certain
that British triumph would mean emiSra-
ton for all the Beers who survived. Eu-
rope would be the goal of many. and the
United States of others. 1t was cheap and
foolish talk. The Beers are at home In
South Africa as they could not hope to be
anywhere else. They will make their way
there as they could not hope to do any
where else In a few years they will have
become not only accustomed to their new
flag but prosperous under 1t. and the gen.
eral advance of the country they love will
promote both their pride and happiness.
South Africa. indeed under the new con-
ditions is likely to play an important part
In affairs. Unimpeded British influence
with unlimited British credit will operate
to lay the foundations there for great en-
terprises. and in that quarter of the world
may appear the strongest of all the British
colonial possessions

and when enlarged to extend the range OF
the vibrations will become cumbersome
beyond practical use. An obvious objection
would prevent the adoption of this method
in city service, but there Is perhaps field
for the search-light method in communicat-
ing by the voice over long distances from
one station to another, between ships at
sea, or across difficult country, or In case
of war from camp to camp over territory
controlled by an enemy. The remarkable
success Of the wireless telegraphy system
has greatly discounted the wireless phone,
however, for all such purposes. especially
for military use, which demands a min
imum of equipment and of conspicuousness.
The chief advantage of the telephone at
present over the telegraph without wires is
in rapidity of communication. it being pos
sible to communicate at a much faster rate
by this means than by the Marconi method.
