The Vice Presidency.

Nominations for the office of Vice Presi-
dent on the republican ticket are now in
order. 1t is the vests opportunity, and the
west may be expected to improve it.
1t is the vests opportunity because as
matters seem now to be shaping themselves
the east and the middle territory will enjoy
other recognition Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t is gen.
orally assumed, will head the ticket. and
Mr.. Cannon is strongly tipped for the speak
ership of the next House. The SOUTH Of
course is not, and should not be. in the re-
publican calculation. There is no thorough
fare for the party in that quarter. But the
west is both promising and deserving
Organism has been broken down where II
once was strongest, and republicanism Is
succeeding it. Why not turn to the west
therefore, and take one of her many capable
men for a campaign which is certain to be
very warmly contested?
He should be a man of high capacity
equal to any demands. The office of Vice
President has of late years come into con-
sequence. and the country been brought
to appreciate the Importance of filling it
with care. At the time of the Garfield trag-
edy there was some uneasness growing out
of the fact that General Arthur had not
been, prior to his becoming the yokemate of
General Garfield national quantity. But
we were soon treasured by the ready grasp
exhibited by the new executive and the eX-
cellent impression he made upon everybody
He developed rapidly. and gave the country
a most business-like and satisfactory ad-
ministraton.
Mr.. Hobart's selection was another fortu-
nate stroke. He became very useful to his
party in an office which so many supposed
made such service impossible and eStab-
Ished and maintained the closest relations
at the White House. He was in perfect &C
cord with his chief. and there can be no
doubt that had the Buffalo tragedy found
him alive-he would undoubtedly had he
lived have been renominated with Mr.. Nc
Kinley-the Mckinley policies would have
found as loyal a champion in him as they
did in Mr.. Roosevelt.
Some good western man" will probably
be the cry. Not good merely in the sense of
being a successful campaigner. Not good
merely in the sense of being able to carry
his own state. Not good merely in the
sense of having a taste for politics and the
means to indulge it. But good in the sense
of having a reputation for all-round sagac
ity. for enjoying the confidence of the bust
ness classes. and for having demonstrated
such ability as to give assurance that if,
unhappily disease or accident should open
the way TO him to the first place, he would
fill it with loyalty to his party and benefit
to the country.

The Colorado Senatorship.

No little interest centers in the Colorado
situation. The dispute over the legislature
bears upon the fortunes of two very inter-
esting men. Mr.. Teller is a veteran in the
public service, and has at one time an
other played a conspicuous part in national
affairs. For the past six years he has been
in effect democrat, and now he has iden-
titled himself completely with that party.
This has cost him many friendships. and
his defeat in his campaign for reelection
to the Senate is earnestly desired by many
men who at one time were among his sin
cerest admirers and supporters. If Mr..
Teller is defeated, Mr.. Wolcott, 1t is
thought. will be chosen. He is one Of the
truly brilliant men in our politics. He pos
sesses as we'll some latent and very useful
qualities, and his two terms In the Senate
were of value to his people and of interest
to the public. His departure from the Sen
ate was a distinct loss to that body and
was generally regretted His set speeches
were intellectual treats, and his cut-and-
thrust in the running debates was capital
exhibition of effective readiness and wit.
If Mr.. Wolcott is returned to the Senate
his welcome will be hearty.

Europe at st. Louis.

1t is now assured that England and Ger
many will be we'll represented at the st.
Louis exposition. and that means a good
deal for the show. Their example is GER
tain to be followed by other European pow
ers. and thus will be realized the hope that
attaches to the enterprise 1t will command
universal attention. The world will take
note of, and be instructed by, as never be-
fore, the spirit and progress of the Ameri-
can people. We shall appear in the full
significance of our up-to-dateness. All
that we have accomplished, and all that
it prefigures for the early future, will be
exhibited in a way to impress those inter-
ested as our friends in our welfare, or, as
our rivals, in the strength of the new can
didate for the worlds favor.
The Philadelphia exposition was held
long time ago. In the worlds eye, the
United States at that time was only the
great power in this hemisphere fronting the
Atlantic ocean Our relations to the Pacific
cut but small figure. Our frontage there
seemed of no especial moment. The great
empire west of the Mississippi was still but
sparsely settled. Colorado had but just been
invested with statehood. The wisdom of
Jefferson's great land deal was hardly ap-
preciated for all of its worth even here at
home. Many important things which 1t
was to bear upon were as yet unlmagined.
Hawaii and the Philippines were not en-
braced in a single American calculation.
Today the United States west of the Mis-
sissippi shows wonderful development, and
promises even greater things. The popu-
lous states and the growing cities there
sustain our purposes and pretensons in that
direction, as the states and cities east of
that river do our purposes and pretensions
in the other direction. We the strong
est power with frontage on the Pacific,
and power of growing strength fronting
on the Atlantic, and, taking us altogether.
we have claims upon serious and respectful
attention in the matter of the worlds latest
and largest calculations.
But as we are anxious that our great
rivals shall note our progress, we are as
anxious to note theirs. We shall be happy
to welcome them to st. Louis in their best
form. 1t is to be hoped. indeed. that they
will present themselves in a form not only
to command our admiration but arouse our
greater ambition. While giving them
pointer or two, we shall be eager to profit
by the pointers they are able to give us,
and thus increase our usefulness as a mem
Der of the family of nations. This news
from Europe is good, and every friend of
the st. Louis exposition will rejoice in 1t.

Patent 69O,S21.

Col John Jacob Aston of New York has
established new record in patent matters
by securing from the government a certifi-
cate of exclusive ownership over a remarka-
BILE mechanical device and then giving to
the general public all his rights in the
premises. Thus any person with taste
for invention and hoping to secure share
of the profits flowing to the discoveries of
improved methods may by applying to the
patent office for a copy of patent No.

formation perhaps leading TO a revolu-
tiCnary invention. Col. Astor's device is

TO demonstrate the practical value of the
device and to prove that it is superior to
the Parsons turbine. which has been in use
in England for some time. 1t is also left
to experiments to show the capacity of the
Aston turbine in reversing. which has thus
far been one of the chief obstacles to COM
plete turbine success in marine propulsion.
Col. Aston, however. does not confine his
claims to the use of his device on ships.
but declares that 1t is the ideal method of
power generation in central stations. being
much more economical OF fuel and space
than the present reciprocating engine
Whatever the merits of the invention may
later prove to be, the circumstances OF it's
announcement entitle it to kindly attention.
1t IS not every inventor who gives away
his rights or parts with the opportunity to
make a fortune out of his mechanical clev-
erness. or course Col. Aston is rich beyond
the need of further money making schemes,
but his example is nevertheless stimulating

The Catholic Filipinos.

From the New York Times.
Now that the Filipino dissatisfaction with
the Roman Catholic Church has eliminated
in a street riot of rather formidable pro-
portions it seems that the Vatican might
lend an opener ear than it has thus far
extended to the agents of the United States
government who have been trying to ex-
plain that the status of the Catholic Church
in the Philippines has been necessarily
greatly modified when to temporal power
to which the conjunction of church and
state was automatic and fundamental sue
ceeds temporal power to which the dis
junction of those two forces Is equally
automatic and fundamental.

The Rhode Island Society of the Cincin-
natl Is engaged in a serious search for
substitute tune for America" and has of
fcred a prize for the most suitable compo-
sitiOn. Already three hundred competitors
have responded to the appeal and IT is ex-
pected that many more will enter the lists,
which close December l. Then, doubtless
there will be award and a tune will be
proclaimed as worthy, in the Judgment of
the organization. to supplant the historic
and familiar melody to which millions of
people have sung the stirring words of
Samuel Francis Smiths immortal hymn.
But this is palpably futile task OF for
eign origin though it Is that tune is now
firmly fixed in the American mind. 1t can
not be supplanted by a new composition
The people know America" rather by the
melody than by the words. 1t may be
doubted if today million people in this
country could without aid sing through all
the stanZas. School children are being
taught them nowadays as they were not
taught in the past and perhaps In the
years to come the words of the hymn may
be more generally remembered by adults
Suppose the Rhode Island patriots do sue
coed in securing commanding compost
tion and proclaim It as the substitute for
the familiar tune. What will happen?
few of the chosen will sing it, some bands
will render Il as curiosity, and the multi
tude. hearing it. will ask, What is that?"
When told that 1t is America" they will
scott and demand the old-fashioned strain
which they can at least hum or whistle
And the new tune will pass into the limbo
of musical curiositles, to keep company
with many other rejected compositions Of
the kind.
The complaint against the present tune
is that it is not of native birth, and that 1t
is the national air of England. This Is un-
deniabie, but England raises no question as
to the fitness of God Save the King be-
cause II Is in turn the national air of at
