TAMMANT,s NEE LE4DER.

A persistent and skillful effort is being
made to minimize the significance Of the
selection of Lewis Nixon as the successor
of Richard Croker as the leader Of Tam
many Hall. All the preachings of the re-
formers in the past about the value of
the scholar and business man in politics
seems to be forgotten by the professional
reformers, the imperialist type in New
York and elsewhere. They can see moth
ing in the election of Mr.. Nixon, with
business ability and success, except a
mere subterfuge of Croker and the other
Tammany people.
The public, especially the Greater New
York public. is in no danger of misunder-
standing the event. 1t is one which
promises well for the cause of Democ-
racy all over the country, as we'll as of
economical and upright municipal gov
ernment everywhere. When such men as
this can still be found who are willing to
take upon themselves the obligations of
active political life, the situation is GER
tainly encouraging.
One of the most sensible expressions of
opinion made thus far on the subject Of
Mr.. Nixon's selection is that made by
William Jennings Bryan to a representa-
tive of the New York Evening Post. He
said:
Croker showed excellent judgment in
selecting Nixon as his successor, as Nixon
is a clean man, has much ability, and Is
not associated with those who are in pol
itics for what they can get out of it.
Tammany will be a powerful instrument
for good In the hands of a man like
Nixon, who will work for the welfare of
the people. The choice will be applauded
by Democrats all over the country"
Mr.. Bryan is right; the choice will be
applauded by Democrats all over the
country. It deserves to be.

VIII MARCoNT SELL OUT 2

The officers and stockholders of the
Anglo-American cable monopoly will
learn of the most recent demonstration
Of the perfect success of the Marconi
wireless telegraph system with any
thing but pleasurable feelings. Their
feelings will hardly be shared in by the
general reading public Of the world. In
deed the situation in that respect will
bring as much pleasure to the one dt-
vision of the human family as it will
bring pain to the other.
When the cable monopoly drove Mar
conf from his stations in Newfoundland
it did a very indiscreet thing 1t did not
act without a well-defined motive, how
ever. That motive was in all probability
to lay the foundation of successful nego-
tiation for the control of the new system.
1t may or may not have counted without
it's host. It might in any event have
chosen a method more likely to be pro-
ductive Of better results for its purposes.
The latest experiments on board the
two great German liners probably repre-
sent the death knell of the cable system
Of transmarine teIegraphy. A great in
vention is by them heralded into COM
mercial success. Will the public derive
the benefit Of it? If so, how long will
that desirable event be deferred? The in
vention is simple; the appliances equally
so. But the patent laws Of the world are
fearful and wonderful things; and no
man knoweth when or where or how they
may be made to operate to perpetuate
public and private extortion.
1t all lies probably with the young
Italian. If he goes over to the enemy.
and the fellows who warned him off the
grass of Newfoundland should get COM
plete hold of his device, the intelligent
people of the world can nevertheless con-
sole themselves with the thought that
national intercommunication by telegraph
will in any event no longer be the ex-
pensive luxury which 1t is at this mo-
ment, from which are debarred the great
masses of humanity.

ANOTHER Foo1 DEMOCRAT

The discussion on the introduction Of
Senator's Hoar's resolution of investiga-
ton into affairs in the Philippines shows
If there were ever any doubt on the sub
ject, that the administration of Pre3t-
dent Roosevelt will strenuously oppose
any such action. The spokesman of that
administration and the personal repre-
sentative of the president on the floor Of
the senate, the junior senator from Mas
sachusetts, showed clearly the position
which will be taken. Everything, we are
told, is being done just as it should be
DONE and to inaugurate congressional
investigation would be reflection on +he
Philippine commission.
This is a cheap line Of argument; but
it was not so cheap that fool Democrat
could not be heard in sustalnment of it.
1t matters not to the country whether it
is a reflection on the Philippine commits

HELL DONE, KENTUCKY.


/ The Kentucky Democracy deserves
well Of the party throughout the coun-
try. 1t has, through it's representatives
in state offices, made the conspirators
who compassed the death Of Gov. Goe-
bel dearly rue their bloody enterprise,
and promises to bring to justice every
man who is not a fugitive from Justice
who had a hand in that masterpiece of
anarchy. 1t has brought it's own dIssen-
Sions to an end, effectuallv redeemed the
state from the rule of the murderous
conspiracy OF the imperialist politicians.
and given the people a strong state ad-
ministration conducted by the strongest
Democrats to be found in public life. 1t
has carried its excellent work into the
domain of national affairs, and prom
ises to send a straight Democratic del
egation to the next congress. Whatever
may be the record made in other states
which ought to be solidIy Democratic,
there can be no question whatever of
the party future of the Blue Grass state.
A week ago today the Kentucky legis-
1ature selected as the representative of
the state in the senate of the United
States one of the ablest men that ever
sat in congress, representing any con-
stituency or any party-James B. Nc
Creary. Mr.. McCreary served six sue
cessive terms in the house of represent
atives. At the end of his term as gov
ernor he entered congress, twenty six
years ago, and from his entrance took
rank among the ablest men on either
side of the chamber.
There was no question in those days
as to the genuineness Of Mr. McCreary's
Democracy. There can be none today
He fought the battles of the constitution
on the floor of the house in manner
which entities him to rank in Democratic
history with Thurman, Hendricks, Ran
dali Carlisle, Cox, Knott and Tucker.
His services were lost to the country
through the dissensions which prevailed
so long among the Democrats of his
state. His return to the senate at this
time is an event in which not only Dem
ocrats but all good friends of the con-
stitution can rejoice.
With such men in the senate as Nc

Creary and German there promises to
come q revival of the best days of the
past. 1t will no longer be necessary for
the Republican representative of the
state of Massachusetts in that body to
lead the fight against the enemies of
American constitutional government
The policy, now apparently so much in
vogue among Democratic representatives
in both branches, OF making ''I dare not
wait upon ST would" will find an end
ing; and these two men, representing
respectively the two great divisions into
which recent differences separated the
party, will be found fighting the peoples
battles without reference to past dis
agreements.
The lesson of the election of Senators
German. and McCreary is one which
should come home to the Judgment and
understanding of Democrats all over the
country, and help materially to end the
ill-Will of the past six years
