CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Sun (Rep) says:
occupant shall be superior to the mob.
He is to stand by the law made in
moments of calmness, against all i'm
pulsives and irresponsible demands for
its overthrow. The more imperious
such demands the more steadfast must
the faithful and high-minded official be.
When the President ceases to be the
servant of the law and becomes the
servant of the people, as represented
by angry or distressful clamor, then
we have mob rule"
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
1T would, no doubt, be a great relief
to the disinterested Republicans OF
Delaware to be able to devote their
political energies to some other end
than that of keeping Addicks out of
the Senate, but they have, at present,
no higher duty. They have honored
their state by their unfailing resist
ance to the abhorrent methods which
this political Spectator has introduced
into Delaware politics, and until he
has been finally and effectively dis
posed of, there is no consideration that
should induce them to falter or to relax
their vigilance"
Inc washington star (lnd) says:
''The United States of America has a
role to play in the monopoly drama
itself in this connection. 1t is the only
possible builder of the isthmian canal.
If it does not see fit to construct it
at one route it can go to the other.
1t is master of the situation. Under
these circumstances it is not to be be-
lieved that Colombia will try to drive
too sharp a bargain or will undertake
to make capital in the premises by an
moving the United States on the score
of the existing treaty which gives this
government the right to protect the
railroad travel across the isthmus. AS
far as understood to-day this govern
ment has offered no valid ground for
complaint by the actions of any of its
officers on duty at the isthmus during
the recent revolution. The treaty.s
terms are plain, and the United States
kept we'll within its rights while full
filling itS obligations"

Can you tell me whereabouts here
in Detroit they shoot snipe?" asked,
according to the Detroit Free Press,
a man of So. who looked the farmer,
of the special policeman at the Union
Depot the other day.
Lord, man, but do you take this for
a huckleberry swamp" exclaimed the
officer in reply.
NO, of course not; but they do shoot
snipe here. don't they?''
Not within six miles Of this spot.
Did you come in to go snipe hunting %
Not particularly. But 1 want to
know about the birds. Are they ps~r
ticularly wild? ?"
Il don't think so.''
do you hunt EN- at night?"
"Of course not"
Are they hard to kill?"
No more than quail. What are you
up to, anyway"
well. it's this way" replied the old
man as he leaned up against the wall
for support. I've got a son Jim.
About once a week he heads for De-
troit. and when I ask him what he's
going TO do here he answers that he
is going to shoot snipe. He comes back
in about two days, looking all dragged
out, and he goes on to say that the
snipe didn't show up, or that it was too
dark for good shooting. or that the
birds outflew his shot. I've heard him
talking in his sleep about 'straights,
Pushes, 'all-fulls' and so on, and I'd
thought I'd just drop into town and
find out what it all meant. What has
straight or flush got to do with
snipe? What have snipe got to do with
my Jim, who ought to be home husk-
ing corn?"
The officer took the inquirer aside
and had a confidential chat with him,
and at the end of ten minutes Jim's
father nodded his head, smiled grimly
and remarked:
Il see. Jim is home to-day, and
probably will be tomorrow, but about
next day he'll get restless and softly
observe that he guesses he'll come to
town and try the snipes again. About
a minute later"
WHAT" asked the officer.
Jim will be so mixed up with
'straights,' 'fushes,' 'snipe,' and his old
dad that he won't get the cricks out of
his back and the wabble out of his
knees before the snow goes off next
spring"

PERSONAL.

The Shah Of Persia is probably the
best chess player of royal blood in the
world. Even when in Paris he found
time to indulge in the game every now
and then, but he says that Europeans
cannot play it. at is royal game, a
divine game" he is reported to have
said the other day, but it is a game
that was not made for Christians"
1t is regarded as a curious coinci-
dence that Alexander H. Stephens and
DR.. Crawford w. Long, whose statues
are to be placed by Georgia in Stat
uary Hall, at the national capital, were
students together at the University of
Georgia, and occupied the same room
as bedfellows while pursuing their
studies. One became a great states
man and the other surgeon of world
wide renown.
"A man named Bassoff for some
time has been working as laborer in
a mine near Butte, Mont. 1t has just
been learned that he is in reality
Count Valdemar de Basoff, a splendid
ly educated Russian nobleman, who,
having lost a great deal of money in
Alaska mines, has gone to work rather
than ask his aristocratic relatives for
help. Bassoff is a strong believer in
democratic principles and believes that
Russia will before long become a re-
public. The count is over six feet tall
and proportionately built.
The Awdiffred prize of 100000 has

for more than 700 Armenian refugees

ter time M. Meyrier and his staff re-
pulsed the Turkish assailants. This
lasted twelve days. Later Madame
Meyrier led a caravan of 600 Christians
to the coast, a fortnight's journey. The
heroic woman was on horseback, with
her four little children following in a
litter. She and her party passed
through the midst of the hostile tribes
and safely reached the coast.

DELAWARE AND MONTANA.

It is a gratifying circumstance that
of the forty-two states which will hold
elections next week, in only three or
four Of them is the politics of such
unsavory odor as to attract attention
beyond their own borders. While it
may remain true, as the late Senator
Ingalls, said, that purity in politics is
an iridescent dream, nevertheless in the
majority of the states politics has been
so much improved in the past dozen
or fifteen years that a campaign may
now be fought to finish in them with
out a great many Of the voters expert
encing mental nausea It may be es-
pecially remarked that in those states
which are soldly and consistently
Democratic from campaign to cam
paign. political affairs are running
smoothly, with no suggestion of scan
dal. But this cannot be said of some
states that are generally Republican
and some that are usually classed as
doubtful. There is Pennsylvania, for
instance, from which the evil smell of
Republican corruotion is waited over
the whole country.
Aside from Pennsylvania, the worst
smells of the campaign are coming
from Delaware and Montana In Del

eral years, the effluvia of corruption Is
strongly impregnated with gas. Gas
man" Addicks Is still master of the
Republican situation, with his barrel
of money. For years he has kept lis
state without full representation in
Congress for the reason that the Leg
islature would not elect him to the
Senate. He has sworn a great oath
that it shall be "Addicks or nobody"
and so far he has succeeded in MAX
ing it nobody" 1t is openly charged
that he is again spending money like
water for the purpose of corrupting
legislators and assisting in the cleo
ton of corrupt legislators. The better
element Of his own party is fighting
him uncompromisingly; and it is just
possible that this element will COM
bine with the Democrats to throw Ad-
dicks overheard. 1t is this possibility
that makes the situation in Delaware
bearable.
In Montana corruption and bribery
seem to be practiced almost openly.
To Judge from some of the dispatches,
young Charles w. Clark, son of the
Senator, has the Legislature, and
through the Legislature the judiciary,
in his pocket, to do with as he pleases.
Young Clark told his father the other
day that F. A. Heinze, who has cop
per mines to sell. had offered him ST.
100000 for the Legislature, in order that
he CHeinze) might select a judiciary
that would decide certain copper mine
cases in his favor. With a judiciary
of his own selection. it seems, Heinze
can arrange to make profits of some
100000 out of his copper properties;
without the judiciary that would give
decisions in his interest, he stands to
lose that amount of money. He could,
therefore, well afford to pay $2,500,000
for the use of the Legislature. That
body, however, since Clark refuses to
sell, will probably remain the property
of the millionaire who at present owns
1t, and do his bidding.

predicts that the next House of Rep
Yesentatives viii be Democratic. Mr..
Griggs is in possession of information
not enjoyed by those at a distance
from the centers of national political
activity and speaks with an assurance
that Democrats will hope presages sue

reason in the attitude of those Demo-
cratic apologists who doubt the advan.
tage of the party controlling the next
House, on the theory that Democratic
control. with a Republican Senate and
Republican President, can accomplish
at the best only negative results. 1t
will be well for the country if a Demo-
cratic majority in the House of Rep
resentatives shall be present to afford
an effective and sweeping negation to
the trust building, monopoly-shielding
and un-American policies of a Repub-
ncan Senate. The man or the partv
that shrinls from the assumption of
a responsibility that right and Justice
dictate should be worn and that op-
portunity permits, never grows in the

THE PRESIDENTS FAILURE.

Some weeks ago the President made
an effort to inspire the Southern Re-
publicans with sufficient courage to
make fight in Congressional districts.
He wrote a letter to certain Texas Re-
publicans to the general effect that
members of the party ought to be up
and stirring all the time, and not in
presidential campaigns alone; that
they ought to be eager and earnest in
willing to stand up and fight for them
whenever there was an opportunity for
doing so. And he let 1t be understood
that those Republicans who got out and
hustled, and made show of trying to
elect men to Congress, would be treat
ed with consideration at Washington.
1t was thought in some quarters that
this announcement would have the eff
feet of bringing out a number of Re-
publican congressional candidates in
the South but no such result has fol-
lowed. There are probably fewer Re-
publican congressional candidates in
the South this year than in the last
campaign.
The reason for this failure of the
Presidents effort to galvanize the Re-
publican party in the South is not far
to seek. The material from which to
make Republican majorities is not here.
The larger number, by far, of those
Southern men who profess Republican
principles have no principles whatever.
They are in politics for mercenary mo-
tives. They adhere to the party for
what they can get out of it-that, by
the way, may be called good Republi-
can policy-and not because they par
ticularly desire the triumph OF Repub-
lican principles. Before there can be
strong opposition party in the South,
the Democratic party must degenerate
materially, the Republican party must
improve marvelously or there must be
a change in the character of the voters.
