Yates Seeks to Be INDICATED.

The Hon 'Dickie" Yates. the son of
his father. by reason of which fact he is
this day the governor of the State of Il
linois, has announced that he is d candi-
date for denomination. 1t is not so much
that he desires to hold the Office for an
other four years that he wishes to head
the Republican State ticket again, as the
fact that he wants yindication for his
present administration
When a man reaches that condition
where he must seek a denomination for
purpose of vindication OF past deeds, he
is generally IN bad way. and from the
start is on the defensive. There Is
goodiy number of good Republicans in
the Sucker State, who would like to give
Governor Yates vindication by retiring
him to private life, and they will doubt
less take occasion to do so al the earli-
est opportunity.
II the Republicans are DESTROYS of
aiding the Democrats to carry illinois,
which the Democrats Will have little
chance of doing otherwise. they will re-
nominate Governor Yates There is lit

refused to have dealings with the rep
resentatives selected by the miners
Consequently the board of conciia-
ton was unable to transact the bust
ness for which it was created. The
miners naturally feel that they have
been cheated of the hearing to which
they are entitled, and are more than
ever suspicious of the honesty of the
intentions of their employers.
There were some points which the
strike commission necessarily could
not settle III advance. The applica-
ton of its rulings TO various localities
resulted in conflicting interpreta-
tons. Certain minor matters had to
be left for adjustment by the mine
owners and mine workers after con-
sultation, and the best the strike
commission could do under the cir
cumstances was to provide for such
an agency as the board Of con-
citation.
Here was the operators chance to
cause further confusion and antagon-
ism, and, as has been their custom,
they have not let the opportunity go
by. A trivial technicality is all they
need for pretext to set at naught the
strike commissions decision and keep
the miners out of the bare privilege
Iof a fair hearing and an equitable
settlement.
1t is perilous situation the oper-
ators have developed. Unless they
prove their good faith by abiding
strictly by the verdict of the strike
commission they will again have to
reckon with public opinion. They
well-nigh exhausted the patience of
the people by the arrogance of their
attitude last summer. To invite fresh
disturbances at this time out of sheer
pig-headed hostility to organized
labor would be to bring down upon
their heads the full force of popular
indignation.
In case of another fuel famine it
will be the millions Of consumers of
coal rather than their mine workers
to whom they will have to render ae-
count. Let popular prejudice once be
thoroughly aroused, and they will be
likely to argue in vain about vested
rights. If they chafe under the judg-
lnent rendered against them last win
ter they will do well TO avoid having
their case submitted to less impair
tial tribunal at the polls.

Mcclellan Under Cover.

But right here is the first flaw in
Mr. MeCarrens scheme. The probabili-
ties are against the selection of Mr..
Shepard to head the Democratic munic
ipal ticket this fall. Two years ago
when the Tammany devil was sick, the
Tammany devil a monk would be, and
Mr. Shepard was chosen as the mayoral-
ty candidate because of his clean and
unimpeachable record and his we'll
known probity and integrity Now that
the Tammany devil is we'll, he Will not
monkey with Mr.. Shepard. but is dew
flish enough to want TO nominate a man
of its own, and the Hon. George B. Nc
C1eIIan is considered to be the Tigers
choice.
Tammany will have majority of the
delegates to the city convention, and
will be able TO dictate the nomination OF
a man from Manhattan, and Mr.. Nc
Laughlin and his Brooklynites will have
to be content with other places on the
ticket Mr.. Shepard made sacrifice two
years ago, and now that the Democrats
have a chance, and what they consider d
good chance, of winning. Mr.. Shepard
is not so much sought after.
Even should he be chosen mayor there
is no certainty that the Hon. David 3.
HILL although his friend and warm ad-
mirer, will allow the New York State
Democracy to indorse Shepard. Hill
wants that Endorsement for himself. and
If he finds it ill-advised TO demand it
for himself, he may yield TO popular SEN
timant for Iudpa Parker TINS again
placing Mr. Shepard at a disadvantage.

An Embryo Statesman.
The ''New York Times" Discovers One
in Far-Off Mississippi.

We learn from the New York
Times" that the problem of negro
suffrage IN the South is about to be
solved, and solved successfully
through the agency of distinguished
Mississippi statesman. This mastery
unraveler of political knots and read
er of political riddles is introduced
to us as "one of the best known and
most active members Of the House of
Representatives" His name is Ben
jamin Grubb Humphreys, and his
plan involves both a repeal of the
Fifteenth Amendment and a whole
sale reduction thereafter of the
South's representation IN Congress.
Says Mr.. Humphreys, according TO
the ''Times :"
Let US appeal to our brothers Of the North
to help remove this incubus which they put
upon us in their anger, and which is sapping
up our liberties. Let us say to them: Repeal
the Fifteenth Amendment and with the same
SIOkS VI pen Ituuct our representation III
Congress to the basis of our white population.
1t is my firm conviction that when we con-
vince the people of the North by frank and
honest arguments that the Fifteenth Amend
ment is error, and by our conduct satisfy
them that the negro DISTINGUISHED will be pro-
tected in all his civil rights, and secure in his
life. liberty, and the pursuit OF happiness, they
will be persistent in their efforts to correct
the Of reconstruction they were re-
lentl4ss in committing them.
To this Napoleonic conception our
New York contemporary gives its en-
thusiastic approval and it naturally
halls the Hon. B. Grubb Humphreys
as a statesman Of unique capacity
and overshadowing promise.
We are rather at loss, however,
to discover how Mr.. Humphreys won
his fame as zone Of the best known
and most active members of the
House of Representatives" We do not
remember ever having seen him in the
flesh. The hall III which the repres-
tatiyes Of the people gather has never
echoed to his eloquence. The gal
leries of the House have never thrilled
to his wisdom or his passion.
He has never delighted the Hobbies
with his jests, nor held committee
room round-tables spell bound with
his sapience. He has eluded the per-
vasive photographer He has escaped
the painstaking editors and reporters
of the Congressional Record"

Prince Ferdinand Alarmed.

With regard to the peril of assassi
nation. to which so many of the Old
World rulers are at the present moment
subjected. it may be remembered by my
readers that few days ago | mentioned
in these columns the fact that Prince
Ferdinand OF Bulgaria had been threat
ened by the leaders of the Macedonian
committee with assassination unless he
at once abdicated in favor of his nine
year-old boy Prince Boris, who would
be subjected to the guardianship and
regency of Bulgarian statesmen in favor
OF the Macedonian cause, and free from
any hampering pledges such as those
given by Prince Ferdinand to the courts
of Vienna and of Russia
While Prince Ferdinand has not as yet
abdicated, there is no doubt whatsoever
that he is very seriously alarmed For
according to the cable dispatches from
Sofia, and from other European CAPT
tails, he has caused the sentinels OF
duty at his palace 10 be trebled. a use

the Bulgarian throne. has furnished re-
reated proof that it is precisely these
bodyguards who are the least to be
trusted. and who are the first to be-
tray their sovereigns
While the recent cabinet crisis at
Sofia has been mainly due to the roflsal
of the Bulgarian people to tolerate any
longer an administration pledged to hold
aloof from Offering any assistance to the
Macedontans, 1t was undoubtedly pre-
cipitated by personal encounter be-
tween Prince Ferdinand and DR.. Redeff,
who was minister of instruction In the
now defunct Danef midsstration.

Mr. Shepard. however, for many
months has been actively engaged in
efforts to bring about Democratic har-
mony; he has arranged dinners and
preached the doctrine of Democratic
brotherhood In the highways and by
ways; 1t is now surmised that he may
have some Interior motive in doing so.
However, Mr.. Shepard ought to be able
to do something in the way of bringing
the warning faction together If nomi-
mated. He bolted the Bryan ticket In
1896, but returned to the fold in 1900 via
the anti-imperialism route. He is con-
servative and honest enough 10 satisfy
the conservative element of Democracy,
and regular enough to please the regu-
lars. Besides. he is good stump
speaker, and would be able TO express
himself forcibly upon the issues.
