MAINTAINS HIS POLICY.

What better answer can be made in
denial of the statement that President
Roosevelt had abandoned his position
upon the question of improvement of
the civil service than to call attention
to the promotions and changes re-
Gently announced by the state de-
partment.
Oharlemagne Tower, ambassador to
Russia, is to become ambassador
to Berlin. Robert S. Mccormick, am
bassador to Austria Hungary, is to be.
come ambassador to Russia. Bellamy
Storer, minister to Spain, becomes
ambassador to Austria Hungary.
Arthur S. Hardy, minister to Swift
erland, becomes ambassador to Spain.
Charles Page Bryan, minister to Bra
iii, becomes minister to Switzerland
and David E. Thompson, of Nebraska,
becomes minister to Brazil. The
most notable feature in these new ap-
pointments is the thoroughness with
which the President has put into
practice his policy of rewarding merit
in the government service. All of
the men appointed to important posts
have served the country creditably at
lesser posts. Instead of their being
selected because of their political in
huence and their ability to sway local
public opinion they are selected be-
cause Mr. Roosevelt believes that,
having rendered efficient service, they
deserve promotion, and because hav-
ing gained diplomatic experience in
the past, they will be in position to
further the interests of the United
States in the countries to which they
are assigned better than would an in
experienced man.
Mr.. Thompson, the only appointee
from civil life, is man of known
ability. He is appointed to post of
minor Importance where he can gain
experience without loss to the coun-
try, as might be the case had he been
appointed to European court, while
he has the assurance that, so long as
President Roosevelt's policy is carried
out, faithful service in Brazil will
gain for him promotion in the diplo-
matte corps.

TIME TO ACT.

The al strike has reached stage
that demands immediate action upon
the part of the federal government
Every hour now sees the situation
growing worse and only mandate
from the highest power in the land
can change the order of things. For
weeks no great concern was felt about
the Forthcoming supply of soft coal
for manufacturing purposes, but with
the approach of cool weather many
proceeded to purchase this kind of
fuel for domestic uses and during the
past week the price has been advanced
daily and it is only question of days
now when New England, at least,
will be practically bankrupted so far
as pertains to coal.

And let me feel the old, old pain again.

THIRTEEN CENT STAMPS.

Washington, Sept. 27.-As soon as
the die-proof of the first of the new
series of United States postage stamps

This will be the first 13-cent stamp
ever issued by the United States.
The new Harrison stamp will be little

is the outgrowth of the increased for
eign registration servicee; 1t will
cover the postage and registration fee
upon letter weighing one-half
ounce anywhere within the limits of
the Postal Union, which now includes
practically all the organized nations

for costly dinner set for the White
House, is very pleased at receiving
this commission, which is one of the
largest that Josiah Wedgewood' S
Sons have ever received. The pat

the ware should be called queensware

pleted in l774, after five years labor,
for the Empress Catherine of Russia.
1t was of 952 pieces, each decorated
with different view OF some English

all hand painted, and cost over e3, 0C0,
which was very large sum of money
at that period.

GLAD TIDINGs FROM THE EAs1

Democratic campaign managers pro.
fess to find material for mirth or fidi-
Guile out of the fact that the Philip
pine commission has certified that
peace has been established in the is
lands. About every move of the COM
mission or of the administration has
been assailed by the Democrats
Democratic predictions have proved
false on every hand and Democratic
arguments have been stultified, while
the progress of events in the Philip
pines has gone serenely on. BY the
time the fifty eighth Congress convenes
the administration will be able to lay
before it facts for intelligent legisla-
ton, providing for greater autonomy.
The present conditions there are
vastly better than under the domin MON
of Spain.
Reports indicative of great prosper
ity are constantly being received and
the announcement that the money
which will be paid for the friar's
lands will not go out of the Philip
pines but will be expended for the es-
tablishment of seminaries, colleges,
the repairing and building of church.
es, ETC., gives increased reason for the
belief that prosperity in the Philip
pine Islands, under the protection of
the United States, has come to stay.

ORGANIZATION.

The course of proceedings in the
Legislature on Wednesday will be,
first, the organization of the Legisla-
ture. The Senate is easily gotten
under way. In the House the leading
event will be the election of its pre-
siding officer, the speaker. This is
the vantage ground of the first con-
tention of the rival forces. The speak
er has the appointment of certain COM
mittees whose constitution may have
decisive influence ON the subsequent
course of events. Hence the conten-
ton over the choice of this officer
Representative Porter of Wilmington,
is the candidate of the forty eight
Democrats in the House. Their course
is clear. They will vote for Porter
In the Republican ranks the conten-
ton will be between the factions OPP
posed to and favoring license of the
sale of liquors. Mr.. Clement claims
liz local optionists. These will try to
organize the House If they are dis
appointed in the issue of the caucus
tonight, the course conjecture is lay
ing out for them is to unite with the
Democrats and insure the election of
Mr.. Porter.
When the fact is officially ascertain
ed and reported to the General Assem-
bly, i'll joint convention that there has
been no election of a Governor by
the people, the next proceeding will
be to elect this officer in accordance
with the requirements of the consti-
tuition. In the ordinary course of
proceedings the fact of the non. cleo.
ton of the Chief Executive would be
ascertained ON Thursday. When il
will be found and reported, in the
pending case, is one of the uncertain
ties of the situation. In respect of
this matter people VINO want to kno W
must watch the proceedings and bide
! their time.

the shipments of coal coming in,
though ordinarily large for this sea-

are very far from sufficient.
1t is reported that the coal situation
in New York and Brooklyn is rapidly
becoming critical. New York depends
so largely upon anthracite that it Will
suffer more than most other localities,
if the strike continues.
Hartford, Sept. 29,-The Columbia
factory, the local branch of the Amer
lean Bicycle Company, was closed this
noon for an indefinite period by order

for the shut down is that the price OF

Bates told the reporter that he was

THE SITUATION.

On Thursday the political situa-
ton was somewhat chaotic. Conditions
were not unlike those existing on the
eve of the assembling of the Republi-
can State convention in June Shape
may be given to events at the Repub-
lican caucusIin the evening, called to
determine the matter of the Republi-
can candidate for the Office of speaker.
Republicans will enter this caucus
it is ssumed-wit hout regard to
subdivisions as prohibitionists or To-
cal optionists, as Mccullough men or
Clement men. What may happen in
the caucus, or what may follow its
action, seems to be as much matter
for prophecy as was the outcome Of
the Republican convention and what
followed in its train.
The developments of the canvass
preceding the election in September,
the mix-up that resulted in conven-
tions and at the polls, may afford the
best standard by which to gauge the
proceedings in caucus and the doings
that may follow. If reason and wis
dom should rule, peace ought to fol-
low. But in the existing temper OF
mems minds, the capitalization of a
long campaign of bitterness, there
may be only slight prospect of har-
monious agreement at the caucus on
Thursday. What may follow is the mat
ter for conjecture, and conjecture is
dealing with the assumed probability
of disagreement between the two
divisions of Republicans as wide and
irreconcilable as that which existed at
the opening of the State canvass, and
which was hardly narrowed as the
campaign progressed 1t is not at all
clear that the chasm S walls have ap-
preached within bridging limits i'll
the weeks that have passed since, the
day of election. On the contrary there
are indications that they have contin-
ued to recede and that the breach can
be spanned neither by cantilever, sus-
pension, or any other bridge known
to political engineering. In the eX-
pressive phrase of a piquant western
girl writing on certain possibilities,
