SIDE LIGHTS ON
NATIONAL POLITICS.
The Outlook Changing.

One Of those curious and inexplicable.
but potent withal. changes in public
opinion regarding the outcome of the
contest for control OF the next House
has occurred within the past few days.
Ten days or a week ago the consensus Of
expert judgment was that the Demo-
Gratis would carry the House by a safe
majority. Today even the Democratic
managers plainly are convinced that
their cause Is waning. Somehow there
has lodged in the minds of men the con-
viction that the settlement of the coal
strike has determined the Congress con-
test In favor Of the Republicans. Two
weeks ago the Republican managers
were in despair. They feared that the
country would hold their party RESPONSE
BILE for the coal embargo and Its terrible
menace OF suffering and its accompeni-
ment of social disorder In the crowded
centers. D this same token they now
believe the country Will express its graf
itude to their party for the settlement
Of the strike, even though the prices Of
coal and other necessaries may add to
the always difficult task in most of the
households Of the land Of making both
ends meet"

NOT PLEASED WITH CARNEGIE
D the Editor Of the The Times:

10 the Editor OF the The Times.
Sir: 1 have read Mr.. Carnegie's st.
Andrews address with attentitn. and
am wondering where he is at" whether
he is Russian, Frenchman or Prus-
ian. or still Scotch American. Will he
wear kits, tarlton, bonnet and all or
will his dress conform to his interna-
tional ideas-French blouse. wooden
shoes of German make. Scotch kilt and a
good. old American derby on his wise
head, with a pretzel in one hand and
bagpipe in the ether? And thus attired
will he tell all nations how to do US :?
We are only the home Of his adoption.
we conferred on him. he might think
twice before making all kinds Of Ger
man. French. Russian and English al
liances to do us harm and cripple our
commercial industries.
1t is curious that Mr. Carnegie never
advanced these ideas while owner of the
greatest steel plant in the United States.
Only now. when he owns a first mort
gage. which by the way, he may be
called Upon to foreclose. If his European
alliance should be as successful. does
he open his mouth.
This country does not ask that its
adopted sons forego all love and SYM
pathy for the country of their birth, but
1t does expect even from its philanthro-
pists a certain amount Of gratitude for
the golden opportunities which 1t fur
nished them. B. H.

coming of her eldest brother. Lord
Brooke, who is now on his way home
from Africa. where for some time past
he has been acting as A. D. C. to Lord
Miner. Lord Brooke is the Eton school
boy who. being refused permission by
his parents to volunteer or to enlist for
South Africa. sold his valuable fur coat.
his gold watch. sleeve links, rings and
scarf pins, and, with the money thus OBJ
tanned. purchased ticket and sailed for
Durham In South Africa, leaving q note
for his mother. explaining that on his
arrival he intended to enlist in one Of
the corps Of irregular cavalry then being
formed there.
Lord and Lady Warwick, after think
ing the matter over, came to the conclu-
sion that It was best to let the lad
have his way. and to assist him rather
than to obstruct him in his enterprise.
Accordingly, when he landed at Durham
he found not only the cabled consent or
his parents, but an intimation to the
effect that he had been granted a COM
mission in one of the corps then In the
field, and attached to the staff of one Of
the commanding officers at the front.
The boy has behaved we'll, has seen a
deal Of hard fighting, and is coming
home for the first time after two years
absence. with an appointment as lieu
tenant of the First Life Guards. He Is
not quite twenty years of age.
The mention Of his name serves to re-
call the fact that his father bore the
title of Lord Brooke on the occasion Of
his marriage, in Westminster Abbey. to
Miss Francis Maynard. the greatest
heiress of the day. 1t was the only mar
riage OF an Englishman that can re-
call where a son of the sovereign in
the person of the late Duke Of Albany
officiated as best man. The present Lord
Brooke is the late dukes godson.

Griggs Causes Discord.

The Hon. James NJ. Griggs is the In
nocent cause of discord between David
B. Hill and William r. Hearst, which
may eventually Separate the followers
of these two New York statesmen into
permanently hostile camps. It seems
that Mr.. Griggs was invited by Mr..
Hearst to preside over the final big rally
of Tammany at Madison Square Garden
next Monday evening The invitation
was extended to Mr.. Griggs because he
is chairman of the Democratic Congress
campaign committee; also because the
rally is to be in the special interest OF
the Congress candidates in New York,
and also. again, because Mr.. Hearst Is
financing the enterprise to the extent OF
S50. 900, by popular report. and there
fore asserts his right to have whom he
pleases WELD the gavel OF authority.
Mr.. Hill questions both the right OF Mr..
Hearst thus to select the presiding ofn-
Ger and the appropriateness of selecting
any man from outside the State, be he
ever so big a wig. AS Mr.. Hill views
the case. the projected rally is strictly
New York affair. and therefore should
be presided over by-a New Yorker
mayhap no less New Yorker than the
Hon. David Bennett Hill himself. Mr..
Hearst, however. had. at last accounts,
refused to yield. while Mr.. Hill contin-
ues to grumble. criticise. and threaten.
Mr.. Griggs occupies an entirely neutral
attitude.

He Suffered the Fate.

The Hon James NJ. O'Grady. who has
disappeared completely from the public
view since his defeat for Congress two
years ago. was in Washington this week
for the first time In several months.
Mr.. O'Grady's experience is a typicai
illustration Of the danger that attends
the efforts of the statesman to defy the
influences. and particularly the boss.
that lifted him to high place. He had
the good fortune to attract the favor
able attention of the Hon. George W.
Aldridge, the Republican boss in that
part of the State of New York Of which
Rochester is the center. Mr.. Aldridge
rapidly pushed his protege to the front.
He made him speaker of The house at
Albany after Mr.. O'Grady had served in
that body short time, and then per-
mitted him, through the grace OF the
machine controlled by Mr.. Aldridge. to
come to Congress from the Rochester
district. In an evil moment Mr.. OGrady
yielded to that temptation which lures
too many promising statesmen to
early political grayes-which ts 60 say
that Mr.. O'Grady got it into his head
that he was bigger man than Mr.. Aid
ridge. Mr.. Aldridge continues to do
business at the same old stand, and
what Mr. O'Grady's political future is no
man knoweth, although he is a man OF
ability and attractive personality.

schley's Kinsmen Are Angry.

1t appears that resentment for the al
legged persecution Of Admiral Schley IS
taking more forcible political form In
the Second Congress district OF West
Virginia than in any other part OF the
country In that vicinage live several
kinsmen of the admiral. most Of whom
are Republicans, but they will. to man.
II is said vote against the Republican
candidate. the Hon. Aston Gordon Day
ton. who is a nsember of the Naval Al.
fairs Committee OF the House, and
therefore is held directly responsible
for the misfortunes which have come to
Admiral Schley. 1t is further reported
that the admiraIs kinsmen are numer-
Gus enough and influential enough to
hold the balance of power in the dis
trict. and that the Hon. John T. McGraw,
the Democratic nominee. is assured OF
the votes of the entire clan.

Mr.. Lodge Is Troubled.

It has been observed that the Hon.
Henry Cabot Lodge is sticking closer to
Massachusetts this year than in any
campaign for long time. The reason
of this is understood to be the anxiety Of
Mr.. Lodge TO learn just what the Hon..
John L. Bates is up to. He may be plot
ting mischief for the Lodge machine.
The Senator did not favor the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Bates for governor. though
his opposition was very quietly mani
tested In point of fact. the Senator
has never favored the political prefer
ment Of Mr.. Bates, who, under the oper-
alton Of the unwritten Republican law OF
Massachusetts. was this year nominated
for governor because he Is now the lieu
tenant governor OF the State. Senator
Lodges friends fear that as Bates grows
stronger Lodge will grow weaker. In
deed. 1t would not be surprising il Mr..
Bates contests the Senate seat with Mr..
Lodge two years hence. and there Is
cause for the suspicion that he Is now
energetically preparing for that struggle.
