O'clock This Morning.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 6.-Late to-
night Mayor Capdovielle sent letter to
the New Orleans Street Railway company
ordering them to run their cars beginning
at o'clock tomorrow morning.
At 2 o'clock this morning the mayor
rescinded his previous order in regard to
operating cars for the reason that he
thought a-settlement was in sight.
The mayor said that if the company
failed to run its cars tomorrow it would
be up to the city council to consider
whether the railway company had for
feited its franchises.
The first attempt to run cars will be
made from the Canal street barn, and
seventy policemen will be stationed there
tomorrow morning. Cars will ALSO be
operated from the Prytania and Arabella
barns. Wire cutting was reported from
several points today.

Of the state into spheres of work where

there is also a growing tendency to
demand the illegitimate and unwise
transfer to the government of much
of the work that should be done by
private persons, singly or associated

STATE CAPITAL ETcHINes.

Now that election is over it is prob.
able that the discussion of the Iowa
idea" will cease for a season. There
is strong probability that it will be
combated when the next
state convention meets, however. and
a strong effort VIII be made by the re-
publicans who do not believe that the
tariff shelters the trusts to have it left
out Of the platform. The best way to
accomplish this, it is conceded by all
parties, Is to stop the discussion
Whether this will be done or not Is
another question. The only feasible
way to get rid of it seems to be to take
the stand that Inc next state conven-
ton will be merely a state conyen-
ton and will have absolutely nothing
to do with national affairs. The last
state convention adopted a platform
not only for the state campaign but
for the congressional campaign. The
universal verdict is that the platform
hempered the congressional cam.
paign. but that is not subject for dis,
cussion at this time.

THE DEMAND is FOR OFFICERS.

There is not an American, who is
not proud OF the record made by the
navy Of the United States during the
short struggle with Spain. AS re-
suit OF that war the people OF the coun-
try have become more interested in
naval affairs. With the changing of
public opinion the legislators of the
nation have inaugurated policy for
enlarging our naval equipment. No
step was ever demanded by the people
of the nation which has had more
beneficial effect upon the affairs of the
country.
But with this part of the work ac-
complished, there has risen another
pressing need in our navy, to maintain
the efficiency that has hitherto given
us cause for Just pride in our fleets
More officers are needed. According
TO the report of Admiral H. G. Taylor
chief OF the bureau OF navigation. there
is, with the present complement of
vessels, shortage OF SIT commissions.
There are now needed 1,6OO officers.

midshipmen after graduation Is 1923

IMPORTATION OF MANUFACTURE.
ERS' MATERIALS.

The total Importation of manufac-
turers' materials in the nine months
ending September, 1902, amounted to
$325,771 ,211. Considered in connec-
ton with the total imports it indicates
most remarkable increase in the out
put of American manufactures. The
value of these imports reached
greater sum than ever before in the
history of the country and formed
1888 per cent of the total imports,
which is a larger per cent than ever
before attained When compared
with the figures for 1890, it is seen that
there has been an increase of 60 per
cent in the amount of manufacturers
materials in the past twelve years
This rapid growth has been influence
ed by many causes, but chief among
them has been the phenomenal growth
of our national industries and the en-
largement of the consuming power of
the nation. The factories of the Unit
ed States today turn out more manu-
featured goods than at any period of
this nations history Not only are
these products called upon to meet an
increased domestic demand, but a
considerable portion has gone to meet
the requirements of our enlarged for,
eign commerce.
In considering the Importance Of the
increase of Importation of the manu-
facturers' materials, there must be
taken into account the benefit that has
accrued to the people of this country.
The transformation of these mater
ials into the finished products has
given employment to thousands of
men. 1t has been the means of caus-
ing millions of dollars to pass through
the hands of the laboring people and
the business men, and in this trans
mission of wealth has brought to the
people many of the pleasures as well
as the necessares of life.

RooSEVELT'S HOLD ON THE
WEST.
(kansas City Star. J

Although President Roosevelt's
view of the results of the recent cleo
ton is THAT the country has merely
given the republican party a Chance
to make good" placing no blind faith
in the continued success Of the party
unless success is earned by the party
strange that he is especially pleased
by the showing made in the western
states. In the east the big reductions
made in republican Eluralities were
prevented from being bigger and sew
eral states were saved to the party,
through the last appeal of compaign
managers to the voters-the appeal to
stand by the president and his poll
cies. This plea came directly from
those persons who had been most ac-
tive in opposing the Presidents pol
jcies in the last session of congress.
1t was made because it was found high
ly eXpedient, if not absolutely neces-
sary, to the success of the party. 1t
was equivalent to formal notice from
the benefciaries of the tariff and trust
license that they were ready to accede
to the Presidents demand for reform.
1t remains to be seen, of course.
whether the implied promise will be
made good" but in the meantime the
people have fixed things so that the
party will be wholly responsible for
the acts of congress for considerable
tlme-responsible for the support that
the President receives or fails to re-
ceive at the hands of the senators and
representatives
But while this appeal may have help
ed some in the western states it was
really not necessary in this section.
The people of the west have liked Mr.
Roosevelt from the first. They take
to his kind Of craftsmanship. They
have faith in his purposes and ability.
He appeals to their vital tempera--
ment. His honesty attracts them.
His genuine democracy suits them.
These are the causes behind the big
gains of the republican party in the
west, even admitting that the utter re,
pudiation of Bryan and Organism by
the progress of events as we'll as the
verdict of the polls has tended toward
return to old political lines in the
former silver states 1t is certainly
incumbent upon the western republi-
can representatives in congress to
stand by the President, if they seek to
stand bq their constituents.

WANTED-A LEADER.
New York Tribune

Democrats who have been hoping to
see leader emerge from the cam
paign just passed everywhere confess
themselves disappointed. The task OF
piecing together the broken fragments
of their party and making strong, re-
spectacle and respected opposition APP
pears as hopeless now as at any time
in the last six years. In some quarters
in the east, owing to more or less To-
cal causes, the democrats made gains,
but they were overwhelmed in the
west by an exhibition of enthusiasm
for the President and contentment
with republican policies which offers
no ground for expecting any revival
of democracy from that quarter. Such
gains as have been made in the east
place emphasis on no leadership and
no principles as the hope of further
progress.
In one state conservative doctrines
We're avowed; in another appeals were
made to the support of socialists. One
state platform cut loose from anti-im-
perialism and another stuck to it.
Tariff reform was exercised in some
places and aroused no interest in 9TH
ers. No matter how much they want
to get together again, the old adher-
ents of a practically disrupted dem
ocracy have no common body of liv-
ing issues about which they can agree,
and no inspiring living leader about
whom they can rally When they stop
to talk of the situation they can mere
ly lament for the dead. One writer
the other day, after surveying the field
of discredited living democrats, gave
up the search and said that IL William
E. Russell We're only living the re-
quirements of the situation would be
met So they might if Thomas JEFF
ferson and Andrew Jackson We're liv-
ing, provided they could recognize the
socialist tainted organization called

party of their devotion as to warrant
their trying to rescue 1t from deatruo-
ton. But neither Jefferson nor Jack
son nor Russell will come back. The
democracy must search among the iy-

and so far it searches in vain. The

Will bring him to the highest type of

ten kinds of success which may re-
suit from mans efforts, President
Roosevelt says
There are different kinds of sue

with it the scared soul--the success
that is achieved by wolfish greed and

individual, but is is always and neces-
saflly a curse to the community:
whereas, the man who wins the second
kind, as an incident of it's winning be-
comes beneficiary to the whole com

In these words of our President
there is a lesson which may well be
learned by each individual of this
great nation. By endeavoring to per-
form our duties we'll and striving to
make our work of such character that
it will be beneficial to our fellow be-

lem which the United States will have
TO face within the next five years. if
present conditions continue, is sum-
married. by Admiral Taylor in the fol-
lowing: The vessels now authorized
by congress, but not completed, will
require 49S additional officers, to which
lis to be added % per cent for officers
sick or on shore duty, and 100 for cas-
nalties during the next four years, or
a total for the vessels now building of

present shortage, SIT, will give 1860.
The graduates from the naval academy
during the next four years will be 355,
leaving a total deficit, July l, 1906, of
1,0O5 not counting officers for auXila-
ries who would be required in the
event of hostilities.
The American people have risen in
a patrlotc manner and declared IN
favor of the increase in the vessels of
our fleets. For this they should be
commended. No loyal citizen would
willingly submit to abdicating the
place we now hold as the foremost
nation of the globe. 1t is therefore
necessary that there should be some
action taken Immediately for the APP
pointment of additional cadets to the
national naval academy, that the in
creasing demands for naval officers
may be filled.
Well trained and efficient men must
be had if our navy, which is the pro-
tector of our national honor and pres
tige abroad, is to be held up to the
high degree of usefulness, which has
placed it in the forefront of the navies
of the world. No matter is of greater
Importance to the whole nation than
this. None that should claim more

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ON CIT.
iZENSHIP,

President Roosevelt has declared his
estimate OF the requisites of good cit
1zenship. In words characteristic of
his fearless and positive nature in an
address delivered at the dedication of.
the New York Chamber of Commerce,
he has pictured to us the qualities of
the man, who in his opinion. is the
life and soul of this great free nation
AS the first citizen of the United
States and the tried and trusted lead
er of S0,000,000 of people, his words
have special significance. They con.
yey to us an idea of life to which
we may we'll strive to attain. Let us
listen to his words and ponder long
and carefully their meaning until we
have come to realization of their sig
nificance.
The first requisite of good cit--
zen in this republic of ours is that he
shall be able and willing to pull his
weight-ihat he shall not be mere
passenger, but shall! do his share in
the work that each generation of us
finds ready to hand; and furthermore
that in doing his work he shall show
not only the capacity for sturdy self
help, but self-respecting regard for
the rights of Others"
AS self preservation is the first law
Of the human family, so the desire to
be the architect OF his own career is
the chief ambition OF every American
citizen. However, with this idea in

When it is remembered that the total
