Predicted Success of Bryan.

1t will also be recalled that on the eve
Of the last Presidential election an In
teryiewer reported Mr.. Cleveland as pre-
dieting the success Of Mr.. Bryan. The
Interview was published in the "Phila-
delphia Times. " which had turned Demo-
cratic in the midst Of the campaign. and
was promptly denied by Mr.. Cleveland.
The story really did appear to be alb
surd. and was generally discredited, but
in the light OF the population Of the
Bailey interview. there are doubtless
those who VIII believe that perhaps
there was some fact. as well as much
fake" in the Bryan interview.
The substance OF the whole matter is
this: Mr.. Bailey wrote a story saying
that Mr.. Cleveland was not n candidate
for the Presidency; Mr.. Cleveland makes
! denial and declares tho statements at
tributed 10 him and upon which the story
Is based are grossly inaccurate. There
fore IL must be inferred that Mr. Cleve-
| land wishes to be considered as a can
didate for the Presidency. There Is no
other way OF looking ut IL. unless II be
that the eX-President is playing a prac-
teal Joke upon the correspondent

WYOMING To Be GIVEN
TO MRS. ROOSEVELT
Horse Presented to President by West
ern Cowboys.

Wyoming. the beautiful horse given TO
the President by the people Of Douglas.
Wyo.. has been promised to Mrs.
Roosevelt II the animal proves to be
safe and gentle. The cowboys who ar
ranged the presentation suggested that
the animal was we'll suited to Mrs.
Roosevelt. as he was strong and spirit
ed. but unusually intelligent and easily
handled. and the President wants TO car
II out their implied request.
Wyoming is at the White House stable
but IS still IN the hands OF his trainer.
John c. Wright. who brought the horse
from the West ten days ago. and has
since been getting him accustomed to
the sight Of automobiles and other
things that he never saw out on the
plains. Mr.. Roosevelt will take his first
ride on the animal this afternoon,
weather permitting. and IL it comes up
TO expectations Wyoming may be sent 10
Oyster Bay for Mrs Roosevelt's use dur
ing the summer.

CRUISER GALVESTON
To Be LAUNCHED SOON
Injunction Against Government Dis
solved in Richmond.

The injunction granted at Richmond
against the launching Of the unfinished
cruiser Galveston. which was being built
by the Trigg Shipbuilding Company
when It failed. was dissolved yesterday.
The Government has filed a stipula-
ton which acts as a bond and viii pro-
tect the supply creditors In any rights
they may have against the Government.
Attorney General Knox denies that they
have any claim on the Government, and
II they continue TO push their claims in
the face OF his opinion, he probably VIII
take the case into the Federal court
Similar action Will be taken with the
revenue cutter Mohawk, which was be-
ing built 1T the Trigg yard. and is to
be finished by the Government
The Galveston Will be launched In a
few days and Will be towed TO the Nor
folk navy yard 10 be completed.

The Field of Politics
Still in the Race.


In connection with the controversy be-
tween ex-President Cleveland and George
NJ. Bailey. the able Washington corre-
spondent Of the Galveston News.
there is one fact which must be appar-
ent TO all political observers. II Is that
Mr.. Cleveland still wishes TO be con-
sidered as a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President next
year. No other logical conclusion can
be drawn from Mr.. Clevelands denial of
the interview.
Those who know the correspondent OF
the Galveston News" and are acquaint-
ed with his work are inclined TO believe
that he has the better OF the argument,
and there is the mystery OF the whole
matter; how a man so reliable and &C
curate as he could have placed such mis-
conception upon statements made to hiin
/ is something which it is difficult to COM
prehend.
! Mr. Cleveland certainly made some
statements to Mr.. Bailey and how there
could be any misunderstanding of them
is not easy TO see. The case is all the
more singular because of the fact that
the correspondent sought 10 do the ex-
President a service; he endeavored to
place him before the country in the
proper light, IN the aspect OF man
retired rich with honors, living the life
of a plain American citizen, sur
rounded by his happy family and de-
sirous of being left alone in his enjoy
ment, anxious only to see the party
which has so often honored him again
united and enthroned in power.

Loubet's London Visit.

President Loubet. when he visits Lon
don early next month. will be housed
in St. James Palace, in those apart
ments which were for quite a number
of years the home OF the present Prince
anc Princess OF Wales. 1t was original
II intended that the President should
take up his quarters at the French en-
bassy, In the same way that King Ed
ward stopped at the English embassy
at Paris. But King Edward was in the
French capital as a distinguished Wis
itCr, whereas President Loubet is COM
ing to England as an invited guest of
tho sovereign and OF the nation, and
as such II was felt that it would be
more appropriate for him TO be housed
in one of the royal palaces than at the
French embassy.
What St. James Palace lacks In ex-
tcrDal impressiveness It makes up IN
historic interest. and the apartments
of the palace possess a grandeur. a
lCftiness, and stately magnifcance, OF
which the dlngy and squat exterior OF
this ancient royal abode conveys no
idea.
1t is on historical record that when
King Christian VII of Denmark came 70
London to WOO Caroline Matilda, SIS
ter of King George III. he was at first
hcrrified at the dingy appearance of the
exterior OF St. James Palace, where he
vas to be lodged But Walpole relates
that he was so delighted when he saw
the interior OF the palace that the ut
most difficulty was experienced to in
duce him to bring his visit TO close.

Well-Drawn Picture.

1t was a beautiful picture which Mr..
Bailey drew of the Sage OF Princeton
and his surroundings, and his descrip-
ton between the lines of the ex-Presi-
dent sitting beneath his own vine and
fig tree, smoking an old corncob pipe,
dressed IN homespun, and living on $4,000
year. must have appealed even TO the
Populistic heart It was word photo
graph of true democratic simplicity. just
the ideal sort told OF in political story
books.
Mr.. Bailey has been warm admirer
OF the ex-President: he has been more
than that-he has been a Cleveland
idolater, humbling himself at the feet OF
the former President and worshiping al
his shrine. His newspaper has been one
Of Mr.. Cleveland's stanchest sup
porters And for what thanks? Core
spondent Bailey HES himself to Prince
ton. is ushered into the august presence
Of him who IS greater than his party
admitted TO the innermost circle of thc
Westland home, and listens with
rapt attention to the words OF wis
dom as they fall from the lips of the
Sage Of Princeton. He prints a story
in which he seeks TO set Mr. Cleveland
Alright. and the type is not cold before
his host repudiates the interview.

A Month in Gods Forests Worth q
Dozen Doctors for Most Human Ills.
The present tendency Of those able
to spend their time as they wish is
certainly to be praised. The wealthy
of America are taking to the woods

fellows, but themselves. They realize,
because of better education, that to
get back to Mother Earth is well.
This dear mother is able to effect
cures Of diseased minds and bodies

Everywhere through the Maine and
Vermont forests, in the heart of the

derived from the infrequent dips in
the water are not commensurate with
those so freely bestowed by the pine
giants Of our primeval forests.
Such life takes the conceit out Of
one. No man living thus for any
length Of time can remain conceited.
Man is conceited only when he com
pares himself with his fellows. In the
deep, silent forest his comparisons are

Our SerVian POLICY.
We Have No Cause for Severing Diplo-
matte Relations.

matte Relations
The news that Great Britain has
withdrawn her minister plenipoten-
tiary from Belgrade will probably
stimulate afresh the hysteria of GER
tain busybodies here who have been
calling on the United States to ostra-
eize the new King Peter and to refuse
recognition" of any sort to the gov
eminent just set up by the Servian
people and the Servian parliament.
We quoted the philadelphia Led
ger" the other day as summoning the
Administration "to take the lead in
disclaiming aequiescence in the Bel
grade enornity." Time seems to have
added edge to the "Ledger's" sense of
outrage. For it now asserts its con
viction that a mere stoppage Of dip
lomatic intercourse with Servia will
not suffice to clear us "from the sin
of connivance at murder" No; the
State Department must at once issue
a proclamation expressing cts horror
and detestation of all that has hap
pened at Belgrade" and declaring its
firm refusal ''to acknowledge the au-
thority" of the newly created govern
ment
We trust that the United States
viii not be weak enough to follow
Great Britain's questionable example
in severing diplomatic relations with
SerYia as a protest against atrocities
in Belgrade with which we, as a ma
ton, have no legitimate political con-
Germ. The United States cannot ven
ture-and has never ventured-to in
quire into the processes by which
power has shifted in European coun-
tries from one dynasty to another. 1t
must maintain the right from which
cur own existence as an independent
nation is derived-that Of a people
to choose its rulers and its forms Of
government. We must recognize and
treat with the de facto government in
Servia, whether that government is
based on revolutionary violence or
not.
It is unnecessary for US to question
Great Britain's motives in refusing
recognition" to King Peter and the
Servian parliament. Those motives
may or may not be beyond criticism.
In her day Great Britain has deposed,
imprisoned, exiled, or executed hun
dreds Of rulers. She has had revolu-
tons Of her own-not wholly blood
less. She has bred her own regicides.
1t is for her to take her own line of
action at Belgrade.
But it would be a piece of political
folly for us meekly to follow in Great
Britain's footsteps and to commit
ourselves to a policy Of censorship
in the domestic affairs Of European
States, clearly repugnant to our own
ideas and TO all the counsels Of the
| trainers Of this republic.

Let in the Light.
A Case Which Requires the Commits
sioners to Act Promptly.

y.
We have no desire at this stage to
place the responsibility for the irreg-
ular methods resorted to to pay Miss
Johnston's claim against the District
upon the shoulders of anyone in par
tieular. For the present we rest con-
tent in establishing what we think TO
be the facts in the case, and in draw
ing attention to the loose manner of
conducting certain branches of the
District government. We say this.
because some people have been good
enough to suggest that our disclosure
of this ''irregularity" consisting in
some one signing a requisition for
things not wanted and never intended
TO be delivered, and in the certifca-
tiOn of a voucher by some one else
afterward to the effect that goods
were received which were never fur
rished constitutes an "attack" upon
this, that, or the other individual. We
say, we are concerned for the present
in developing the fact, and nothing
more. And in this task, we may add,
we hope we shall have the enthusiast
tic support of the Commissioners.
Meanwhile, however, we have read
with a good deal of establishment in
the "Star" that "the Commissioners
have taken no action regarding the
alleged irregularity and viii not do so
until they receive a report of the
board the Board of Education1 on
the subject" As the Commissioners
have all the papers in this case in
their possession, and Commissioner
West has examined them, as appears
from the "Star's" report, and as the
statute of limitations, as shown by
The Times, runs in this case within a
very few days, it Is a matter of per-
sonal consequence, we think, to the
Commissioners that they should aci
quickly.
Let in the light upon this transac-
ton. And do it promptly.

REFLECTIONS OF
TIMES THOUGHT

The Washington Times remarks that
bad Judgment has led Hon. Marcus A
Hanna into an unpleasant predicament
in the matter Of Roosevelt's indorse-
ment by the Ohio convention.
Undoubtedly the predicament is IN
pleasant enough. but was it necessarily
bad Judgment that led Mr.. Hanna into
It? We do not see that the conclu-
sion is necessarily warranted in the
premises. Mr.. Hanna Is chairman OF
the Republican national committee and
the largest factor in Ohio politics. II
he had remained silent while the Ohio
convention indorsed Roosevelt, he
would have been regarded by his party
and the country as committed TO Roose-
welt, personally and officially. This
would have been a predicament that
might also have been very unpleasant
for Mr.. Hanna.

cessful colloQuy with the steam roller.
