CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk (va.) Landmark Oem.)
says; The ship subsidy bill is again
dead. But just as long as there is a
Republican Congress this measure will
present itself at every session, in the
same manner as Hermann the Great
will never become extinct so long as
there is a theater."
The Manchester IN. HI Guardian
(Rep) gives the following as the fun
damental principles of the local option
law to be passed by the New Hamp-
shire Legislature: Absolute local OPP
ton for the cities and towns in deciding
whether liquor shall be sold within
their limits or not: a high license fee,
to render the business improbable for
any considerable number to engage in;
licenses unlimited as to number, to do
away with the temptation or oppor-
tunity for corruption: and local con-
troll by a board of commission COM
posed of men who can be held ac-
countable to the voters of the COM
munity."
/ The Philadelphia Record Oem.)
says: President Roosevelt and those
Republicans who are so eager to pro-
vide negro postmasters and custom
house collectors for the white people
of the South are assured by Senator
1Hllman that he is quite ready to join
them when they shall make negroes Of
ficers of the army and navy. So far
as the navy of the United States Is
concerned, Senator Tillman will OBJ
serve, no white seaman can become a
commissioned officer in it's service, no
matter how efficient and deserving, if
he does not belong to a particular
caste. Prejudice of caste is not merely
confined to color in this Democratic
government"
The New York Evening Post Cnd.)
says. Gen. Grosvenor's latest at
tempt to serve the shipping trust has
brought him and ii only fresh disap-
pointment. His own committee would
have none of him, or of his unblushing
scheme to help the shipping trust pay
for the English ships which It bought
at three times their value. Subsidies
have always a. suspicious air, but when
IL comes TO voting doles TO a gigantic
combination OF which foreign govern
ments stand in awe. we touch the
very sublimity of shameless greed.
That this audacity was too much for
some Of GrosvenOr's Republican assoc
ciates Is matter OF congratulation.
They have killed the bill. not only for
This session. but. AZ we believe, Cor

The Archduke Leopold Ferdinand Of
Saxony, who eloped with an actress at
the same time his sister, the former
Crown Princess ran away with the
French professor of language, has in
formed his parents that he will Join
the navy of the United States "as an
officer" and cast to the winds his for
mer privileged position. The Arch
duke probably knows very little about
the American navy and the means by
which 1t may be entered "as an Of
ficer." He has never had naval train
ing, but if he were ever so we'll trained
he would find admission to an Ameri-
can quarter deck a matter of extreme
difficulty if not indeed an impossible
ity. A special act of Congress would
have to be passed for his benefit
Whether that could be accomplished
can be guessed. However, the Arch
duke might come over here. take out
naturalization papers and enlist as
seaman; then after several years of
hard and conscientious work he might
rise to be boatswain's mate, or gum
ner's mate, or to some other warrant
position. If he is looking for a naval
career, he had better steer clear of the
United States. Possibly he could lind
what he is looking for in Central or
South America.

A Little story About Hewitt.

A trait in the character of Abram S.
Hewitt. which was his in common with
many another of the great men of the
country's history. was his painstaking
regard for little things as we'll as big,
says the Boston Post. There is a man
over in New York who knows this.
He had occasion to visit Mr.. Hewitt
a number of times, and each time sent
in his card. One day when he had
similarly announced himself. Mr..
Hewitt came down stairs holding a lit
tie package tied neatly with rubber
band.
Here are the cards you've sent in
to me during the last month or so, I"
said he. They're of no use to me, but
l thought you might be able to put
them to work again, and so 1 gathered
them up"

Personal.

M. White, the Russian Minister of
Finance, is an ardent temperance
worker. He is a teetotaler and in
duced the Gar to decorate the men
and women who are the most active
in temperance work. He makes no
secret of his preference for teetotalers
in the various offfces of the depart
ment he controls.
Henrik 1bsen, the Norwegian au-
thor, loves to keep his hair in disorder.
This is said to be his one vanity He
always carries a little toilet case con-
tanning a looking glass and a comb,
which are attached to the lining of his
gray hat. He will often remove his
hat to look into the mirror to see how
his hair is lying. If it is not rough
enough to suit his fancy he uses the
comb to give it the requisite tangle.

A Richmond paper reports that the
negroes of Virginia are becoming very
eager to buy land and are investing
all they possibly can in real estate, in
order to qualify themselves for the ball
lot. 1t is intimated that Northern aid
is being given the blacks in this mat
ter. That being the case, the new fran
chise law will prove a good thing for
Virginia in more ways than one. Be-
sides clarifying the elections it will
create demand for real estate: and

makes him a better citizen.

A QUESTION FOR TIVE TO SETTLE

I A QUESTION FOR TINE TO SETTLE.
Those who have been booming Judge
I Parker of New York for the presiden-
/ tial nomination of the Democratic
party were given a set back on Tues
day by Mr.. Frank Campbell chairman
Of the Democratic State Committee of
New York. In an interview given out
in Buffalo, Mr.. Campbell said that if
ex-senator Hill were a candidate
Judge Parker would not be.
1t had been quite generally thought
management of the campaign in New
York last fall he was no longer regard
ed as a presidential possibility, and
that he had practically decided to
abandon his presidential ambition. Ac-
cording to what Mr.. Campbell says,
however, he still thinks he has a
chance.
1t is true that Judge Parker has not
stated that he is a candidate. In
deed, he has made no statement that
justifies an inference that he is am
bilious to lead his party in the next
PRESIDENTIAL tollAtSls Dul there 10 IlO
doubt that there is very strong SEN
timent among Democrats In all parts
Of the country in favor of nominating
him. 1t is believed by many of the
ablest men in the party that he is the
strongest man that could be nomi-
mated. OF course Mr.. Hill has a great
many friends, but there does not
seem to be a noticeable movement in
his behalf in any part of the country.
In the South some months ago. there
was an attempt to start Hill boom,
but it was not noticeably successful.
Mr.. Bryan would be against the
nomination of Mr.. Hill, and it is
question whether he would give him
hearty support if he were to be NOM
mated. 1t is true of course that Mr..
Bryan is not the influential leader he
once was, but he is still very pop
ular with the people in the rural dis
tricts. 1t is practically certain that
the two factions of the party could
not be united under the leadership of
Mr. Hill. and it is also certain that
the Democratic party wouldn't have
much chance for success unless its
factions were united.
When the situation becomes fully
understood it is doubtful il Mr.. Hill
will seek the nomination. He is very
friendly with Judge Parker. and
doubtless would like to see him NOM
mated, provided he cannot get the
nomination himself
Probably it was to Mr. Hill that
Mr.. Bryan had reference when he said
in an interview in New York City
the other day, that he thought the
leaders of the New York Democracy
were only putting forward Judge Par
ker at this time in order to keep in
the background for a little while lon
ger the man they really intended to
support for the nomination. What he
said on that occasion made it very
clear that he was not likely to regard
the candidacy of Mr.. Hill with favor.

A number of preachers in Maine are
urging from their pulpits that the
state follow the example of New
Hampshire and adopt local option for
the control of the liquor traffic. One
of these preachers in a sermon at
Bangor the other day made some COM
PARSONS between that city and Brock
ton, Mass. Bangor. with $4,000 pop
ulation and after twenty years of pro-
hibition, had 1,044 arrests for drum
kenness last year. Brockton, with 49,
900 population and after eleven years
of high license under local option, had
435 arrests for drunkenness during the
same time. This, of course, does not
prove everything. since different po-
lice forces and different courts have
different ideas respecting what con-
stitutes drunkenness; nevertheless the
disparity of the figures is so great as
to be worthy of attention.

In a Chicago church the other day
the preacher by way of illustrating
the folly of false pride. held up a dol
lar, saying: Il am going to give it to
any one of you who can bury your
pride long enough to admit that you
need the money" For a moment there
was a pause. Nobody stirred. The
preacher thought he had made his
point in striking manner, and re-
sumed: See, l told you So Not one of
you will sell your worthless pride for
good American dollar" At this
juncture a shabby little old woman,
with age-wrinkled face, went slowly
down the aisle. took the dollar and re-
treated. AS she reached out for the
coin she said to the preacher in a low
voice. II need the money; 1 am too
poor to have any pride" Take it,
and God bless you" stammered the
preacher. There must have been tears
in his voice. and the hearts of those
who witnessed the scene must have
been touched. But, as a matter of
fact, the old woman did not sell all of
her pride for 81. She later declined to
give her name, though admitting her
poverty, showing that the pride of
name was still with her. There can
be no doubt that pride is the cause of
a great deal of suffering that might
be relieved if it's existence were made
known; but, is it really desirable to
have pride eradicated! In it's good
| sense, pride means an adherence of
what is beneath or unworthy of one;
| lofty self-respect; elevation of charac-
ter; dignihed bearing. There are other
and less worthy meanings of the
word, but the poor are seldom
proud except in the meanings of the
word given. With high order of
self-respect taken from the poor, what
would remain?
