Not the Real Mr.. DooIey, You Know,
but Peter Finley Dunno, Who Gre
ated Him-WiH Wed "a Chicago
beauty.
"Sly Mr. Dooley" is the way the
friends of Peter f. Dunno, otherwise
known as Mr.. Dooley. refer to him since
it became known that he is soon to be
married to Miss Margaret Abbott, a
famous Chicago beauty.
Mr.. Dooley, who for several years
has tickled the reading public with
his droll humor, has been regarded by
his friends as confirmed bachelor.
This idea doubtless had its inception in
the humorist's own words. lie has on
several occasions, in his inimitable
way, expressed an opinion Oh the per

NANNY women as he wants, but amy

Again, in describing the financial

Lamont and odeII

From the New York Evening Press
The use of the name OF Daniel S. La
mont for the Democratic nomination
for governor is a sign that probably
he will not get It. Mr. Lamont is
secretly and seriously talked of as a
compromise Hill and Cleveland candi-
date for the Presidency in 1904. To run
him for governor this fall and TO elect
him would. of course. give him the
strongest possible claims to the nomi-
nation for President two years later.
Also. however. to run him against Gov
|ernor Odell and have him beaten would
ispose of his Presidential chances
absolutely; and it is not likely that
either Mr.. Lamont or his hackers for
the race OF 1904 would assume so peril
GUS a risk as to run him against Gov
Iernor Odell this fall to acquire the
reputation Of not being able TO carry
his own State

NEW WSPAPER OPINION
Another Trust

From the Chicago Chronicle.
DR.. Macarthur, pastor of the Calvary
Baptist Church, New York, is evidently
the optimistic man of the century.
Seeing the almost universal tendency
toward gigantic enterprises and trusts
he predicts great love trust in which
all the nations Of the earth will be
united, having the United States and
Great Britain as the dominant factors
AS yet there is little evidence Of this
love trust" Our country and Great
Britain both have been, and still arc
absorbed in grabbing what seems to
them the greatest financial advantages.
Tlhey have given little thought OF care
to altrJistic sentiments.
Even II America and England should
establish love trust it is doubtful
whether Germany and Russia would
enter into it under the leadership which
DR.. Macarthur names. Russia is not
TO be deceived by any alluring bait,
and Germany is always distrustful Of
England-as she has reason to be.
The millennium is not so near at
hand as the prophets and optimlsts
predict AS yet not even simple JUS
tice is in sight, let alone any thought
or mercy or love between nation and
nation.

It be laid then there will be no need
Of further argument; the market viii
have to be removed. since there viii
be no place for it.
Where it should be placed in that
event is another question. There are
many advocates OF Shipley street, and
there are many things in its favor. It
is centrally located, and has no car
tracks upon It. It would be more con-
venient for the people than any other
street. Objection is made on the
ground that it hasn't sufficient width.
out there is more available space than
King street offers with its single car
tracks. Undoubtedly in the course OF
time the market will be removed; it
may not be in the immediate future
but with the building Of the new PENN
sylvania railroad station the Peoples
railway must prepare to carry addl-
tional traffic. This will probably mean
the double tracking OF King street and
the consequent abandonment Of the
market there It is then proper that
the subject should be considered in all
its phases, and discussed temperately.

REMOVING THE oIARKEr

Under the heading, 'Do Not Injure
the Merchants" the Morning News
makes a plea for a retention Of the
market on King street We do not
think there is any disposition TO injure
the merchants. and it is only proper
that their vested interests should be
taken into consideration. Properties
have been purchased along King street
at goou figures because Of the markets.
and it would be a hardship, doubtless,
for them to be removed. But there are
other interests involved. and these
must be considered. IN these days Of
progress. many changes become neces-
sary. The market formerly was on
Market street. but it became necessary
in time to remove it, Doubtless there
were certain interests then that suf-
fered by the change. but they could
not stand in the way OF the general i'm
provement. When it went to King
street there was no guarantee that the
change was permanent Therefore, il
conditions have arisen which make a
further removal imperative the mer-
chants are not the only persons to be
considered.
Already there is a car track on Kinl
street. and this makes that thorough
fare too crowded for market NJ
market should be allowed on one O
our streets where there Ia a single ca
track. and in considering the relativ
width of streets. this should be con
sidered. II is said that it has becom
necessary TO double track that stree

AS "A boss explainer the writer of
Democratic Glasses" in the Sunday
Star is facile princeps. This writer is
able to explain the great prosperity
which came to this country immediate
ly upon the establishment OF the gold
standard, Notwithstanding he had pre-
dicted that all sorts of disasters would
follow that event. He says:
The money question temporarily was
settled simply because OF the vast in
crease in the production of gold which
augmented the volume OF basic money
Prices became higher because of this
increased supply OF money. The rise
of prices proved the entire contention
Of the silver men. They wanted more
money and as there was no gold in
sight they desired silver as the next
lbest thing to be used. But the money
afterward came in the shape Of gold.
This is the correct and fundamental ex-
lplanation of the money question and
why it was settled by the increase OF
the supply Of money.
That is as plausible an explanation as
the circumstances would permit. but il
gives the credit to Providence. Accord.
ing to this theory, the country woul,

r party with the gold standard, bu

A CANIpAIGN FuNn

Certain persons notified by the Seci'e-
tary Of State that they viii be appoint
ed registrars ON the payment Of the fee
OF 81. have complied with the request,
giving as their reason that they regard
it as a contribution to the campaign
fund Of the party. Primarily 1t is
nothing OF the sort, but rather n con-
trfbution TO c. r. 1ayton's private
purse. II may subsequently find it's
way into the campaign fund, but which
fund? OF course. the fund to elect men
to the Legislature favorable to Ad-
dicks for The United States Senate.
This being true we have law which
compels Democrats and Republicans TO
help make up a purse to be used by Ad-
dicksites. Whether il is q legal fee Is
yet, we maintain, an open question, but
the appointees have a remedy. They
have been notified of their selection; let
them await their commissions. II the
Governor chooses he may turn down
the whole list. and search for men more
obedient. but this win not mean much
of a personal loss TO these gentlemen
Men now have an excellent excuse for

Senator Bailey of Texas, following
the lead Of the notorious Tirman
could not let the session Of the Senate
expire without making a spectacle OF
himself. His attack on Senator Bever.
idge yesterday was without any real
justification. II shows the spirit Of the
bully ana the coward. Bailey had
made a serious charge against high
official of the Government, charge
that seems TO have been utterly with
out foundation. Beveridge, as a friend
OF the man. came to the rescue, saying
that Bailey's attack was "unwarrant-
ed" He refused to withdraw his re-
mark. and was assaulted If such
words under the circumstances are not
privileged, then we wonder what are?
Certain of the Southern senators seem
TO think they have full liberty to as
sail anyone, from the President to the
humblest official. and that no one has
a right TO utter a word in defense
Senator Beyeridge was probably using
the mildest expression possible. Had
he told the complete truth doubtless he
must have charged the Texas senator
with deliberate falsehood. Tillman,

tain type OF senator's which the South
