Because Mr.. Watterson and Mr.. Bryan re-
piled so vigorously to Mr.. Cleveland's TIL
den Club speech, the impression got abroad
that efforts to promote harmony in the
democratic party had received fatal check.
But did they? Let us examine the situa-
tion-
If Mr. Cleveland were a resident of New
York he would vote the full democratic
ticket in November. AS a resident of New
Jersey he will vote for the democratic can

Mr.. Cleveland democrat?
Mr.. Hill is to be director in chief of the
democratic campaign in New, York, and Mr..
German will sustain the same relation to his
party In Maryland. Neither man subscribes
to single important thing for which Mr..
Bryan stands. but both are democrats.
John P. Hopkins of Illinois has been a
bitter foe of Organism, but he is working

Rivals in Conference,

Mr.. Hill and Mr.. German in conference
at Saratoga? The Star suggested on Friday
the probability Of such a thing. 1t is good
politics-worth something this year, and
will be worth something in 1904 They are
rivals. There can be no doubt on that
point. Each has his eye on the White
House. and each has a pretty stout-hearted
following. But they are sagacious men po-
litically, and see as closely as any outsider
the difficulties in the way of democratic
success. Neither, with Bryanism the issue,
can carry his own state. First thing of all
therefore, they must unite to try to get
rid Of Bryanism. Then for the democratic
domination for the presidency which in
such circumstances may be worth having.
But, of course, as these men and those
who stand with them unite the Bryan men
may be expected to hold the closer together.
The fight for control in 1904 is taking shape
and every maneuver from now until the
meeting of the next democratic national
convention will be worth observing.

York, Paris, st. Paul and st. Louis during
the war with Spain for just such purpose

try can safely rely upon such vessels as an

maintaining themselves at sea for a week
or more without assistance. These. too,
must be speedy, but not necessarily as fast
as the scouts. Despite the enormous range

If the Higginson-Pillsbury campaign has
demonstrated nothing more than the need
of signal service not only along the
coast but between sea points and the coast.
it will have proved a valuable expenditure
of time, thought and money. The great
naval problem of the day Is to provide a
reliable system of coast defense at the least
possible expenditure in commissioned naval
vessels. The invention of the wireless sys-
tenn Of communication has modified that
problem as has no other single advance in

David B. Hill.

Reports from Saratoga all agree that at
Saturdays meeting of the democratic state
committee the fact was demonstrated that
David B Hill is now the undisputed leader
of his party IN the empire state. His views
were sought by all who attended. His rooms
were thronged all day. Apparently all old
differences had disappeared. Men who had
repeatedly opposed him in the interests OF
Murphy Croker and others now came for
ward as eager for word with him as men
who had always stood by his side. He
greeted all alike. Not an effusive man at
any time, he was yet In genial mood, and
shook hands warmly and made everybody
feel comfortable. The result was the adop-
ton OF Mr.. Hill's program. The state con-
yention will meet on the day most agree
able TO him. He gives himself a week 5
time in which to examine the platform Of
the opposition and to study the personnel
ot the opposition's ticket Then he Will
produce his own platform and ticket.
Mr. Hill is probably the ablest democrat
in his state. He is an excellent lawyer, A
good speaker. and most capable organ
izer. He has had experience both as an ex-
ecutive and as a legislator, and his success
in politics has been considerable. He has
likewise had his share of defeat. On more
man one OCCASION MS ElNdiS III MS OWN
party, and then the republicans, have rolled
him In the dust and soiled his jacket, but
they have never broken his spirit. He has
the merit of patience and persistency. Mr..
Croker is in England running a dairy. Ex
Senator Murphy cannot now control even
his home town. Mr.. Whitney has abandoned
politics for the turf But Mr.. Hill remains
on deck. and is now captain of the ship.
VIII he be able to make port with her this
year7
The outlook is not promising. The demo-
Gratis themselves are aware of the fact. The
republicans are in power. and their record
in the main Is good. Governor OdeH as
candidate for reelection will make a strong
appeal 10 the people. 1t is more than likely,
therefore, that, while appearing to meet the
republicans on the local issues, the cam
Paign Of Mr.. Hill will in reality be made on
the necessity of regaining control of the
state if the democracy Is to go into the
next presidential campaign with any hope
Of success. Democratic defeat in the state
this year, he will tell his friends, will fore
cast democratic defeat in the city again
next year. and that will forecast the loss

OF course Commander Pillsbury's failure
10 enter New England port unobserved
and unchecked by a superior force does not
necessarily mean that a foreign fleet could
not force an entrance in time of war. AS
The Star pointed out last week. the con-
centratiOn Of the war game within a COM

closer patrol by the defending squadron
than would be possible in actual service
But the proportions seemed to be preserved

orrer battle at sea.
The prime lesson of these maneuvers ap-
pears 10 be that the navy greatly needs {,
system OF cOastwise signals exclusively un-
der its control, either on the old-style basis
OF wire communication or by means OF
wireless stations sufficiently near together
to form reliable chain of posts. This
brings to light a new phase of the national
defense problem, which operates to de-
crease the chances OF an attacking fleet
securing an early advantage. Despite the
great extent OF the Atlantic seaboard 1t
would be possible in the face OF news of
the departure of an enemy's fleet from a
European port to stretch Gordon OF cruis-
ers across the lanes of probable approach
far enough out TO permit sufficient warn
ing for the mobilization of the defending
fleet in the vicinity OF the threatened port
by means OF relays OF wireless telegraphy
stations on board of specially built or
equipped signal boats
This does not necessarily mean that the
navy must be maintained on the basis of
several hundred scout ships. Such vessels
as these may be easily. under certain con-

Mr.. Watterson Is in no sort of agreement
either with Cevelandism or Bryanisn1. and
he refuses to stand for his party's nomina-
tfon for the governorshfp of Kentucky, but
he Is nevertheless a democrat and will sup

at all.

And there Is Mr.. Bryan, full of fight as
ever, giving to the democratic ticket in
Nebraska the full benefit of his support.
He too Is democrat, and Is none the less
solicitous for democratic success In New
