The Shepherd Memorial.

The memory OF Alexander r. Shepherd
merits more than words of sorrow. Verbal
tributes are grateful, but very pershabie.
True Washington is Shepherds monument,
but this fact should be so strongly empha-
sized In a memorial OF bronze or marble
that II shall not be forgotten by genera
tions 70 ceme-by generations that did not
know Governor Shepherd or the times IN
which he lived, worked and fought for the
City's good.
And the way to build a monument is to
build it. Some talk is perhaps necessary
az preface, but great care should be ex-
ercised that the preface be not too long
Money Is needed, and the time to collect
money for monument is before the man,
whose memory it is meant to honor, has
been too long dead. The time to raise
money for Shepherd memorial is now.
Now is a small word but its significance
is big. Let those who think that Alexander
K. Shepherd deserves a monument get to-
gether on the proposition. Action and
speedy action, is desirable.
The first step should be taken at once by
the Commissioners of the District of Co.
lumbia by appointing representative citi-
zens' committee to receive subscriptions
and otherwise promote the plan. If the
Commissioners feel that they are unable
actively to participate with the committee
in its laudabie work they can with pro-
priety at least set the good work going.
They should take the initiative. Shepherd
deserve a monument in Washington and
WashingtoniaHs want to build it.

New York for Roosevelt.

The anti-Roosevelt republicans IN New
York have acted wisely in abandoning their
opposition to the proposition to swing the
state into line this year for the Presidents
nomination In 1904. They have rendered
him no particular service. His future has at
no time since he entered the White House
been in their hands. When he assumed the
leadership Of the party upon the death Of
Mr.. Mckinley he ceased TO be in political
sense "a New York man." He became at
once both a national quantity, and the hope
Of his party for the next presidential race.
Every day since has but emphasized this
fact, and recent formal deliverances by re-
publican conventions in some of the most
powerful of the states have put the matter
past all possible doubt
What has been done relates to the New
York situation and this years campaign
very good shape. and in Governor Odell
they have an excellent candidate. They are
expecting to win. But they cannot afford
any divisions Taeir opponents, while now
divided. may get together and make lively
light. Strong then as Governor Odei is
the name of Mt Roosevelt will still further
strengthen him. The two men themselves
are on the best of terms. and each desires
the success OF the other. What has now
been assured therefore IS a republican cam
paign In New York with the two strongest
names in the state bracketed together. So
tEat II success IS possible to the republicans
X will be achieved
Precisely the power and complexion of the
anti-Rooseveit sentiment in New York may
not easily be stated. The Albany lobbyists
are of no particular consequence. Their op-
position is a moral decoration. Certain
Wall street magnates. however, have an In
fuence outside of their check books. and If
they could employ this against the Presi-
dent they would probably be glad TO do so.
Ills recent trust utterances do not wholly
explain their attitude. They liked him quite
as little while he was governor of New
York. He Is not built to suit them. and
they would be happy to see him in private
life But they are shrewd enough to under
stand that an aggressive manifestation of
their feelings would benefit him throughout
the country, and hence their decision TO
copy Brer Rabbit and lay low"
1t would magnify this result to character
re 1t as a triumph for the President 1t
simply accomplished itself. There is moth
Ing to show that Mr.. Roosevelt ever gave
the matter a moments thought, or lifted

Cutting Into the Anthracite Market.


The anthracite market Is being invaded
seriously. Mills. factories, large stores are
using bitumnous. This city is covered m st
of the time with a cloud Of smoke lever
known before the strike was inaugurated
1t Is so much less expensive to use bitumi-
nous than anthracite that it may be taken
for granted that in many instances anthra-
cite will never be used again. To the ex-
tent that it is not will be a direct loss to
the anthracite interests.

grOes who enjoy the right of suffrage are

for their votes. But has Mr.. Camalier re-
fected upon how out of line with his po-
Atical brethren In other states his action
places him? What will Mr.. Hay OF Vir-

say? They have been employed In elimnat-
ing the negroes from politics. viii they ap-
prove of Mr.. Camalier's policy? Is it not
lntolerably repugnant to their own?
Moreover, suppose the vote for congress-
man in the fifth district should be close.
Suppose Mr.. Camalier wins by narrow
majority, and the size Of that majority
should tally with the supposed number Of
negro votes received by him. Would that
authorize the charge that the district had
come under negro domination? And IL that
view should be taken by the southern men
In general would not Mr.. Camalier's posi-
tion In the next House be most uncomfort-
able, to say the least? Would he be per-
mitted to bask in the sunshine of full party
fellowship? Would he be eligible to admis-
sion into the party caucus? Would not
the spots on his commission somewhat dim
its refulgent glow?
Let us be fair with this new candidate
for political honors and assume that he has
thought Of all these things. and takes his
plunge with his eyes wide open. Let us
assume that. although fedgling, he has
discovered the hollowness and hypocrisy Of
the blather about negro domination; that
the fellow who uses it here is cheek by jowl
with the fellow who is canvassing for negro
votes there, and that it all depends upon
whether the negro can or cannot be utilized
al the polls. Mr.. Camalier-a little slyly-
withholds for the present his methods of
reaching the negro vote. Let us hope, how
ever, that, after the election-and particu-
larly if he wins-he will take the country
into his confidence and show how he cap
tured those negroes in the fifth district who
escaped the knife when Mr.. German worked
the guillotine at the time of the passage Of
the new Maryland elections law.

Pennsylvania's New York Terminal.

There is 8 brighter prospect that the
Pennsylvania railroads plans for an i'm
proved New York terminal will be ra Titled
by the aldermen of the big city in season to
permit a speedy beginning on the work
The opposition of the aldermen to the tun-
mel franchise. under the leadership of
President Cantor of that board, has up to
this time been unyielding. Now Mr.. Can
tor declares that he is not so stubborn in
his objections that he will permit the pro-
ject to fail, but that he will yield if the
railroad company cannot eventually see its
way clear to conceding the demands which
he and his associates have made. con-
sultation will be held on the 18th of this
month between representatives of the rail-
road the aldermen and the rapid transit
commission of New York, at which the ult-
mate concessions of the corporation will be
announced. The chief issue at present be-
tween the company and the objecting alder
men relates to the labor question. The
railroad Will not agree to specified wages
rate in advance. nor will it contract itself
to observe certain working day rule.
The news that the tunnel franchise has
been approved and that the work is soon
to begin will be most gratifying to every
traveller who visits the metropolis. Few
railroad enterprises have ever acquired so
national a character this step to permit
a modern method of entrance into New
York city for the vast volume of travel
now checked by the North river With a
tunnel under that river and another under
the eastern water boundary of the city 1t
will be possible to go without change or
delay through New York from any direc-
ton. The many years Of waiting, marked
by annoying and expensive Interruptions
due to the congestion of the terminals in
Jersey City and the occasional biockading
of the river. not to speak of the discomfort
attending the old-fashioned method of
crossing the river. have aroused demand

they are in London. owing to the towering

of life Is believed likewise to be less.

"a Platform in Himself"

A special dispatch from Dubuque, Iowa,
says:
The democratic congressional convention
held here today unanimously nominated
former Governor Horace Boies for Congress
as against Speaker Henderson, There was
no platform adopted and no resolutions
were offered. 1t is understood a conference
was held this morning, al which agree
| ment was sought to be reached between the
Bofes faction and the silver men. But as no
agreement was reached it was decided to
leave out all reference to issues on the
ground that Governor Boies was platform
himself. especially after his able manage
meRt OF the state convention"
Here is an exhibition of what has come
to be known derisively as playing politics -
Only a few days before this action was
taken, Mr.. Boies had figured conspicuously
at the state convention of his party and by
adroft management succeeded in defeating
proposition for the Endorsement of the
Kansas City platform. He won by ma
jority of fifty in a poll of some seven hun
dred delegates. The silver men were strong,
but not quite strong enough. They retired
from the field a bit disgruntled, and Mr.
cowardly. The towards" be it remembered,
were led by Mr.. Boies
Now We see Mr.. Boies put forward as a
candidate for Congress. The Office of repre-
sentative Is national In character, and men
seeking 1t are expected to take position on
national issues. AS a delegate to the demo-
cratic state convention Mr.. Boies showed
convictions on national issues so aggressive
" that he dominated that body completely
but as a candidate for Congress he does not
want this record paraded before the people.
For the time being he would have the silver
men forget it." He needs their votes to
win. And so, without platform of any kind,
he is presented to the people of the district
in this pleasing form: You know Old Hod
He Is all right"
Let us suppose Mr.. Boies elected. Let US
suppose the democrats in control of the
next House of Representatives Let us
suppose-the very easiest of suppostions-
the majority Of that body dividing in the
spring of 1904 on questions relating to the
presidential campaign Bryanism is the cry
of one faction, and anti-Bryanism of the
other. Mr.. BoIes would have to take sides.
Can We doubt which side he would take ?
Would not the silver men among his con-
stituents be certain of disappointment in his
action? Would not Mr. Bryan's ire again be
aroused?
No man in our form of government is a
platform in himself When nominated for
office the candidate should stand for the
principles of the party whose banner he
carries; and those principles should be
frankly proclaimed. Otherwise our govern
ment by party would soon disappear and
We should have IN its stead a scramble of
officials responsible to nobody but them
selves, and chaos and pertidy would be Just
around the corner.
