PARTY ORGANIZATION.

A question has arisen whether the re-
publican state convention Just held
placed the authority to appoint the sec
rotary and other officers of the state
committee with the state chairman or
with the candidates on the state ticket.
The precedent was set by the state con-
vention of 1901 to vest the chairman
with the power to name the secretary.
We think this precedent is all wrong be-
cause it proceeds on the mistaken theory
that the secretary is a clerk to the chair
man instead of an officer of the COM
mittee who should derive his authority
from and be responsible to the same
body as the chairman.
The convention itself, of course, is the
embodiment of the party and after its
adjournment the party organization is
represented by the state committee,
whose members are directly accountable
to their constituencies in their respective
districts. The officers of the committee
should be chosen by the convention or
by the state committee. The secretary

pacity and experience, in touch with
political conditions and able to perform
his duties without waiting on the chair
man for minute directions.
Under present circumstances, it may
make no difference in the character of
the officers no matter by whom they are
named, but the principle of direct re-
s~ponsibility to the rank and file of the
committee should be applied to all the
officers of the party in its organized
capacity,

TIE SPOONER SUBSTITUTE.

The passage by the senate of the
Spooner substitute for the Nicaragua
canal bill that passed the house will be
satisfactory to everybody except the ex-
IRENE advocates of the Nicaragua route.
who are unmoved by argument or facts.
The substitute is, of course, a com
promise. 1t does not determine the
route to be selected, placing this re-
sponsibility upon the president under
certain clearly specified conditions. If
the president finds that the Panama
Canal company can convey to the
United States a satisfactory title and
there can be secured from the govern
ment of Colombia by treaty control of
the necessary territory as specified in
the bill, then the president shall select
the Panama route. Should it be found
that these requirements cannot be met
the president is authorized to proceed
with the construction of a canal by the
Nicaragua route, having first secured by
treaty with Nicaragua and Costa RIGA
the necessary territory and other con-
cessions.
1t is the opinion of some of the ablest
lawyers in the senate that there will be
no difficulty in securing a clear and
satisfactory title to the property of the
Panama Canal company. AS to the
concessions that will be required from
Colombia, it Is also believed that there
will be little difficulty in obtaining them.
The government Of that republic has
shown a most earnest desire that the
United States shall complete the canal
and has recently signlfed its willing
ness to grant the most liberal conces-
sions to this government. There are
certainly no greater difficulties. as
shown by negotiations thus far. in the
way Of securing necessary concessions
from Colombia than from Nicaragua
and Costa Rica. All these countries
are anxious, there is no doubt, to make
the best bargain they can, but they will
finally accept such terms as the United
States deems to be fair and reasonable.
The two routes nave received the most
thorough investigation and considera-
ton and the weight of expert and sclen-
title opinion is unquestlonably on the
side Of Panama. Both are practicable,
but the Panam is the safer route, as
has been abundantly demonstrated by
recent conditions. The highest scien-
tihc opinion is u~nfavorable to Nicaragua
and although the extreme partisans of
that route have persistently ~endeavored
to discredit this opinion it is undoubt-
eddy accepted by a large majority Of the
public. A canal on the Panama route
would cost for construction consider
ably less than by the Nicaragua route
and as h cost OF either will be great
the financial consideration is important.
Whether or not the house will adopt
the Spooner substitute for its bill is a
question about which no confident pre-
diction can be made. What is known
as the Hepburn bill was passed by the
Omaha daily bee., 1902-06-21

In considering these figures 1t must be
remembered that there is a large number
OF deaths every year among the older peo-
sioners and among those claiming from
them. This accounts for the slight increase
at the present time, and not any lack of
applications. The last report of the COM
missioner OF pensions showed that the orig
tnal application on account OF the civil
war for the fiscal year ending June 81,
1901, amounted to about 10000, and that
the applications on account of the Spanish
war for the same period numbered nearly
20. 900.
The pending Spanish claims OF 80, Gil rep
resents a very large percentage OF the
troops who saw actual service, and un-
doubtedly many Of them should and will be
disallowed. II is simply impossible that an
army Of young men such as was called to-
gether could present that number Of just
claims. Another noticeable feature of the
applications in connection with the Spanish
war is the large number Of REMARKED
widows" who are claimants under the act
Of March 3, 1901. over 5000 OF them had
appeared before June 80 OF that year TO
seek restoration during a second widow
hood or divorces. And the possibilities
from this vicious legislation are only dimly
realized as yet

REAR ADMIRAL CLARK.
BestOwaI of Honors C~OnspicuousIy
Well Deserved.

Well Deserved.
New York Tribune.
The promotion of Captain Charles E. Clark
to be a rear admiral of the United States
navy is conspicuously we'll deserved and
will be applauded by the people Of the
United States with rare unanimity. There
can be no invidiousness in saying that he
was among those who did the nation best
service in the Spanish war and concern
Ing the value of whose services there was,
and is, least ground for doubt or dispute.
We have only to recall the simple facts of
record. When the Maine was destroyed and
war was seen to be inevitable the eyes Of
the nation turned TO Captain Clark and his
ship. The hope of the nation was placed in
his bringing the Oregon around to join our
fleet in Caribbean waters and thus making
the latter strong enough to cope with any
fleet Spain might send against 1t. All
through that long and arduous voyage the
Oregon was followed by the American peo-
pie with an anxiety seldom known in our
history. When at last her safe arrival on
the Florida coast was announced. ready for
instant combat, there were universal relief,
exultatlon and confdence-seatiments amply
indicated a little later when the Oregon
played SO indispensable a part in the great
sea drama off Santiago.
We have only to remember these things
to realize the nations debt of gratitude to
Rear Admiral Clark. The man who, at little
more than a moments notice, could set out
with his ship on a voyage such as no other
battleship in the world had ever under
taken; who could take her through two
oceans and three zones and all around a
continent at racing speed with never a
mishap or an hours delay; who could rush
her into the goal after such a voyage ahead
Of schedule time in perfect trim for imme-
date action; who could make her give so
superb an account Of herself in the ensuing
battle, and who through it all could be so
modest and void of mere lf-seeking-such
a man is made Of the right stuff for high
command in the service which has known a
Decatur and a Farragut. We may not
revive within us in these quiet days the
thrill and the enthusiasm which the
very name of the Oregon aroused only four
years ago; but unless we would repudiate
those former sentiments as spurious we
shall do well to recognize with fullest
earnestness the fitness of honoring the man
who was responsible for and who is to
be credited with the unparalleled achieve
ments of the Oregon in 1898.

pEMocRArLC DECENTRALIZATION.

Grover Cleveland and David b. Hill
have told the democrats of the country
what they deem to be necessary to- the
rehabilitation of the party. Both rec
ognize the fact that the partly is badly
d~isOrganized, that it has wandered away
from its traditional principles and that
the only hope for it is to get back upon
the old lines. Both plead for harmony
and both profess faith that the democ-
racy will somehow or other escape from
its present unhappy condition and be
restored to popular confidence.
Mr.. Cleveland deprecated the calling
Of harsh lanes and in%augurating a sys-
TEN of arbitrary prescription and ban
ishment, as has been done by the Bryan
ties. He also administered a slap to
that political element when he said that
the democratic party never thrives 'by
IN %insincere play upon unreason-
ing prejudice and selfish anticipa-
ton" He must have had in mind
when he made this declaration the class
appeals and the invocations to prejudice
of the democratic leader in the last two
national campaigns. In the opinion of
Mr.. Cleveland the democracy has al
ready in store the doctrines for which
it fights its successful battles and, of
course, he regards the tariff as chic. in
Importance. He did not overlook the
huge industrial a%ggregations," which
when president he did nothing to re-
press, but he was chiefly concerned
about the system of tariff taxation
Whose robbing exactions are far be-
yond the needs of economical and legl-
innate government expenditure" and he
wondered that this had been subordi.
ting the bitter experience of the country
as the result of his tariff policy.
David B. Hill discussed the democratic
situation as a politician who is not
averse to playing the part of dema-
gOgue. He assailed the foreign policy of
the administration denounced President
Roosevelt for what he said in his Dec
grafton day address, charged that free
speech had been suppressed, talked
about the failure to do something for
the Beers and abused General Wood.
What this has to do with ~rehabilitating
the democratic party is not apparent,
but this and much more of the same
character, constituted the greater part
of the speech made by Mr.. Hill at the
opening of the Ttlden club quarters in
New York. He further disclosed his
character as a demagogue by lauding
Cleveland and extolling ~Bryan-which
must have been anything but
pleasing to the former, who is not
a demagogue or a hypOcrite. There is
nothing in the speech of Mr.. Hill that is
likely to be helpful to the democracy.
The democratic party vas never in
a more HOPELESS condition than now. The
course of its representatives in congress
has increased the party decentralization,
and the efforts of some Of the leaders,
or wOuld-be leaders, to ~reorganize the
party, have only had the effect of ag-
gravating its unhappy condition and
still further weakening it in popular
confidence, by more fully exposing it's
lack of craftsmanship, patriotism and
progressive ideas.

the bill for the election OF senators by d.

man in Kentucky who got mired while

Robert Burke, the Croker Of Chicago de-
mocracy, is aptly nicknamed. Last winter.
when the Cook county grand jury became
extensively active, the western Croker paid
100000 into the city treasury by check,
claiming to have mixed that much public
money with his own. When the storm blew
over the check was recalled and payment
suspended. Burke still runs the democratic
machine.
Mayor Harrison OF Chicago and former
Mayor Hopkins Of the same city mussed

convention. Both were out for scalps and
Hopkins won out. Now he proposes to fol-

kept out OF sight. The sanitary depart
ment Of the party is likely to have a hot,
all-summer Job.
Mayor Collins Of Boston announces that
in the future he will refuse to see ONCE
seekers, who are now referred to the heads
OF departments in which they desire to

election in January he has been working
night and day trying to see everybody and
he thinks It is time to stop, all the 10, 900
positions in the city service being filled.
He declares that since taking his seat as
mayor he has seen about 10, 900 callers who
wished to secure places for themselves or
friends.

Norris Brown sounded the keynote" in
his speech as temporary chairman. As a
Keynote 1t was rather squeaky. He didn't
hesitate to repeat the republican lie, told
so often that some really believe II, that
the present administration has conducted
the state institutions a year and have a
surplus left Of $s7. 231.61. Any one at
all conversant with the matter knows that
these figures are based on calling eleven
months expenditures the expenditures for
a year" 1t is also well known that Mr..
Browns figures do not include the expendi-
lures at the penitentiary, where the re-
publican warden used up the $85, 900 main
tenance appropriation in ten months and
will have about sac, 900 deficiency by the
time the next legislature acts; that they do
not include the Kearney industrial. echool,
where Secretary Mallalieu used about $780,
600 in one year OF a $4,000 appropriation
intended for two years. Brown makes an

The platform is exactly what one could
expect from a republican convention
dominated by the railroads. After all of
Rosewater's bowling, the taxation plank is
simply a lot Of glittering generalities quite
acceptable to George w. Holdrege and his
coadjutors. The convention indorsed
Roosevelt's attitude on the Cuban reci-
procity matter and thereby threw the har-
pooh into Senators Willard and Dietrich.
