of that famous Scotch-Irish ancestry to
which America owes so much of its
pioneer blood. and perhaps he may have
derived from both father and mother
those qualities making for tenacity and
forcefulness which have marked him
as a fighter and an antagonist worthy
any mans steel.
His youthful tutelage was received
under the eye of that world famous
statesman, Stephen A. Douglas, whose
private secretary he became and whom
he accompanied in his great joint de-
bate with Abraham Lincoln. Enjoying
the intimate friendship of Douglas, it
is not strange that he should have i'm

Throughout his long career in the

thousands, yet he has done everything
quietly. without fuss and feathers and
without attracting attention until the
time came that he desired it-when all
was over or ready for the grand coup
that was to carry his man TO the COW
eted position.
The great secret of Mr.. German s
power is TO be found in his admira bly,
equable temper, his staying qualities.

which he has fairly won his reputation
as the most astute and consummate
party manager in the country. 1t is by
no means through blind chance that he

ing Grover Cleveland in the presidential
chair established Germans national
reputation and stamped him as a man

Quiet and unaSsuming in his per-
sonality, Senator German would hardly
attract a second glance unless pointed
out as German; then he becomes the
cynosure of all eyes, especially if it be
rumored that he is going to unlimber
his great guns and train them upon
some subject that in his opinion should
be battered down. In his speeches he is
direct and forceful, always effective,
but rarely. if ever. oratorical. Perhaps
the most effective of his speeches and
the one in which his characteristics
were most prominently displayed was
that in which he f1ayed President Cleve-
land for writing that memorable letter

States senate who were then opposing
his tariff policy. He spoke for more
than two hours with his characteristic
clearness and force. and throughout to

roughs and the famous geologist and
explorer John Muir and others. The
complete itinerary of the tour covers
more than two months, or from the 1st
of April to the 5th of June inclusive,
but the time allotted to real rest and
recreation includes the two weeks to be
devoted to explorations in the Yellow
stone National park and four days in
the Yosemite valley and the big tree
section of California. In company with
Mr.. Burroughs and Mr.. Muir, who are
old friends. Mr. Roosevelt aims to be at
Cinnabar, Mont, near the entrance to
the Yellowstone park, on the Sth of
April, one week after leaving the White
House
There he will be welcomed by
squad of cavalry under Major Pitcher,
who commands the army post in the
park and whose guest he will be for
about sixteen days while making the
projected camping tour of our great ma
tional reservation. While some mem
bers OF the chief executives party
remain at Cinnabar, in order TO keep in
touch with events and inform him in
case of necessity, Mr.. Roosevelt and his
intimate friends will cut loose from
civilization and enjoy Verltable rough
and ready time in the wilds. 1t is his
purpose to combine business with pleas
ure in a certain sense, as he desires to
inform himself by actual observation
as to the protection or nonprotection
afforded the big game corralled in the
park and wandering over adjacent ter
ritory and to study the watersheds of
rivers there with view to their utiliZa-
ton in irrigation. The reports as to his
induIging in a hunting trip in Yellow
stone park are absolutely untenable
because he would thereby be violating
one of the laws of the United States. but
it is not al all improbable that he may
take a shot or two at bear if he runs
across one outside the park. The elk.

Though careful to avoid in his recent utter
ances any discussion of vexed questions OF
party politics, Judge Alton b. Parker made
suggestion the other day well worth considera-
ton by both national committees. In an inter
view published in The Newark News he
strongly advocated a judiclous shortening Of the
Presidential campaign. That campaign as now
conducted, he argued, is grOtesquely out Of
touch with up 10 date conditions. 1t is pure
Rnachronism. The necessities to which it re-
sponded were those of an earlier generation.
The six TO eight months canvass-still indispen-
sable in the first years of the railroad and the
telegraph-has come to be a hollow and out
worn form in these days of quickened energy
and instantaneOusly difused intelligence.
In the days of our forefathers, Judge Parker
pointed out, stump speakers travelled on horse
back or on foot and weekly newspapers were
slow and uncertain mediums for the dissemina-
ton Of political information Now the daily
newspaper penetrates to every country post
office and follows the trail of every rural free
delivery route. Party leaders and orators make
their twenty or thirty speeches from the rear
platform OF a private car and in few days
do the work of education which once demanded
the tedious travail Of weeks and months
Under modern conditions therefore Judge
Parker could see in the traditional Presidential
canvass only waste Of energy and money, on
which halt could wisely be called by both Re
publican and Democratic leaders.
This plea for the shortening of the Presi-
dental canvass has manifest common sense be-
hind il. There can be no question that serious
minded politicians are beginning to weary az
the antiquated methods which still govern in
the management OF our Presidential campaigns
Great sums are expended to keep political ma
chinery going whose practical usefulness no
one ever thinks of measuring or testing Spell
binders flourish and fatten, whose vote getting
capacity will ever remain an inscrutable mys-
terry. A vast army Of agents is enlisted and or
ganized Of whose generalship marvels will be
heard only when il comes 10 making good the
successful partys ante-election promises.
But the genuine value of all this noise and
fury. this drum beating by hired orators this
rubber necking" by secret sleuths, this can
vassing and cross-canvassing-wh can ever
justly estimate it? Does il or does it not affect
popular opinion and decide popular verdicts?
Last year we had a campaign for Congress
which both sides admitted was drifting match.
Neither party organization spent much money.

IN TIE BALKAN.

The Balkan rebellion seems to be in earnest
this time, and is certainly being conducted in a
thoroughly characteristic fashion. The notori-
Gus brgand and kidnapper of woman mission
airy, Sarafoff, is at the head Of it, and rapine
arson and murder are the orders OF the day
Sarafoff and his fellows declare that the upris-
ing has been provoked by 1.-The outrages of the
Turks, the massacre of innocent persons, the
'pillaging of entire villages and the extortng
''of heavy fines from Others" and the like
Whereupon they proceed to commit all manner
of Outrages, TO massacre innocent persons, to
plumber and pillage and to extort blackmaiI. In
one village we are told they have massacred ALL
even the women and children. In other places
they have burned captives TO death. Near
Resna they have been robbing the mails. At
Philippopolis they have resorted to dynamite
outrages, as they did little time ago at Salon
lea. So the story goes. We have heard, pro-
verbally, of fighting fire with fire" The pres
ent application of the rule is to fight bashi-
bazouks with Bulgarians
If the rebellion Is left free from foreign in
reference there is, of course, no question as to
its end. The Turkish army will make quick
work of it. The only hope of the rebels lies in
foreign intervention. 1t must moreover, be in
PREVENTION by some greater power than Bulgaria
or Servia, for either or both would be HELPLESS
before the Turks. The two powers most inter
ested are Austria Hungary and Rumania, and it
is significant that the sovereigns of them have
just been holding an interview. The unfortu-
nate feature of the case III that quarter is that
Austria Hungary is suffering from grave politi-
cal diSsenSons at home. A ministerial crisis is
on in Hungary, which may call for a general
election, and Austria is in a sorely perturbed
condition. 1t is, however, possible that a grave
crisis in foreign affairs would cause all these
domestic troubles to subside for The time. II IS
indeed probable that such would be the case
in Hungary, though we may doubt II It would
be in Bohemia, where the Slavs under Russian
inspiration, would be likely to regard Austria's
difficulty as their opportunity. Rumania is
probably quite ready for any contingency, and
able single handed to deal with the situation.
unless, of course. in case of the interference of
some other power.
