HOPE E0R nCARREN

AT the dinner given in his honor on Monday
evening Senator Patrick Henry McCarren ac-
cepted with becoming modesty the credit for
enabling the Tammany tiger TO cross the bridge.
Being Democrat and under the stress of pO-
litical emotion, he could not refrain from say
ing a number of things which are not so, and
he made some monstrous long deductions; but,
the other hand, his speech contained a couple
of nuggets OF truth which we venture to COM
mend TO some members of his own party and
TO a certain section of the public which is not
organically connected with either party. Thus,
while Mr.. William J. Bryan was presumably,
assuring his new found English friends Of his
imperishabe devotion to the principle of free
silver coinage, and the anti-imperialists in Bos-
ton were actually reporting progress Sena tor
McCarren said:
There are some questions that have been met
and definitely solved. There longer be
any doubt that the majority of our people are
determined to conduct their financial affairs on
the basis of the gold standard. Nor can there
be any question that this country is determined
to retain whatever territory it may have aC-
quired by conquest or purchase and to Undue it
with the American spirit
In our opinion, the Brooklyn leader has com
mitted more political misdemeanOrs than he
will always find it convenient to answer for,
but the lamp still holds out TO burn for a sinner
who has a tight grip on at least two of the
eternal verities

COLOMBIAN DISTRACTION.

General Reyes doubtless finds himself both
morally and practically embarrassed in his
mission to- this country by the lack of united
counses among his own countrymen, and even
among the members of his own government.
For years Colombia has been rent by factions.
She has had no unity in either domestic or for
eign policies She has had several revolutions
and many more Instructions, and chronic
state of disaffection ready at any opportune
ment TO burst into active and forcible OppO-
sition TO the government. 1t was such a state
of affairs apparently, that caused her blunder-
ing and worse than laundering over the canal
project. 1t is that which to-day makes worse
than futile her protests over the accomplished
facts on the isthmus Of Panama.
For she is not united, and cannot secure any
thing like union, even in the presence of this
crisis Of secession. There has been some talk of
national unity and enthusiasm for the recon
quest Of Panama, but il is empty and hollow.
There is no such spirit in Colombia. On the
contrary. more than one other department is
considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of following the ex-
ample OF Panama. Dsaffection is widespread
ever and President Marroquin is restrained
from proceeding against Panama by the fear
if by nothing else-of another attempt at TevO-
luton in Bogota itself. If he had united ma
ton and unchalIenged government behind
d most difficult if not impossible, task. In
present circumstances of distracted country
and divided counses. his mission was doomed
TO defeat before he began il.
Doomed 70 defeat, that is, if its object was
and is 10 secure the return of Panama TO the
Colombian union. But with a wiser aim it
might yet be crowned with profit and with sue
cess Instead of seeking reconQuest, he might
seek peace between two countries now ire
versibly divorced. He might seek to make the
best of the bad bargain which Colombia made
for herself in provoking Panama to revolt. He
might report 10 his government and country the
futility of seeking to regain the lost province
and the desirabiIity Of turning over new leaf
in the history of the remaining departments
There is enough left of Colombia TO tax the gov
erning and administrative abilities of the wisest
and best Of Colombians-even Of General Reyes
himself-for IL is a troublOus land, fallen into
evil ways Yet there is also enough of it left
10 make great and strong and prosperous ma
ton under proper leadership. If General Reyes
should play in Colombia the part that Porflrio
Daz has played in Mexico. he would do more
than though he had regained a dozen

ryr sEyAyDR AND TIE GOVERNOR.

THE SENATOR AND me uO'Eh'oH-
Senator Plat and Governor Odell have more
than once within the last week expressed some
annoyance at the perslstency with winch re-
ports msrepresenung their political views pur-
poses and relations are put into clrculatloh
They have agreed in declaring that there Is no
misunderstanding between them, that they are
on friendly terms, that both are sure President
r. osevclt will be and ought TO be nominated
next year. that there is room for Improvement
in the work of the Republican organizations in
this State and city, and that the GovernOr VIII
hereafter take a more active share in the man
acement of party affairs. Neither the Senator
nor the Governor has said anything which
tends 10 cast a doubt on the accuracy OF that
statement of the situation, yet they see day
after day in one or more OF the papers an
nouncements surmises and anonymous gossip
purporting TO demonstrate radically different
condition of things. Perhaps it is natural that
they should be vexed. but they really have no
occasion to be surprised or seriously disturbed.
Mr. Platt and Mr.. Odell are old hands and
well acquainted with the ways of politicians
and newspapers, good, bad and Indifferent. In
this instance they must realize that imaginative
reports of their relations, doings and intentions
reflect TO some extent hostile feeling toward
one or the other of them, to some extent a de-
sire to create a breach in the Republican party
and to some extent merely reckless policy Of
publishing stuff for which readers of a certain
sort are supposed to banker. 1t is to be as
sumed, therefore that the Senator and the Gov
ernor will not attach more Importance to such
departures from the truth than the intelligent
general public attaches, and especially that
they will not by opening their minds to false
Impressions serve the purpose of those who
from personal or political motives are anxious
to make mischief.

pERILS 0F FISHER FOLK.

Violent tempests have caused almost meal
cuIable damage in this country again and again,
but in recent weeks the wild rage Of wind and
rain may possibly have worked more mischief
in Europe than in America. The coast of
France has suffered distressfully, and the fish
ing fleet has been afflicted and ravaged beyond
measure.
At best the lot of the hardy and adventurous
fishermen is full of peril, and when great dis
asters befall them the pity and sympathy Of
the world are excited.

"the city, with the aid Of the Democrats in the
State, may carry the State for Democratic
Governor and President" No doubt the dis
trict leaders win try 10 do that. For ten months
they will follow Mr.. CIRCUITS advice and keep up
appearances. That is good politics; for If they
can win the next election the filling or pockets
will be still easier. But when it comes 10
stepping from the policy of Mr.. Grout to the
morality of Mr. Mcclellan, will they do it?
