Mobs and Nationality.

Tn the story from Sault Ste. Marie printed
in the morning newspapers appears TINS
statement:
.Tbe greatest number of the mob are OF
ignorant Italians. Firms Norwegians and
Frenchmen, the latter perhaps the hardest
of all to handle.
Would these men have behaved differently
if they had been American-born? Should
we not have had the same story of fury ana
Violence? Is a mob of any nationality easy
to handle? Do we not see exhibited day
after day the melancholy fact that lawiess-
ness is of no color, of no nationality! DO
not white men and black men, Americans
and foreigners, in this day of license ana
widespread disorder, behave very much
alike when they yield to the spirit or an
archy and revenge? You may diferentiate
in a mob by the color of the skin or the
mold of the features, but scarcely by the
demeanor. of the members. The MOB spirit
like death. is a great leveler.
We have been looking down for years on
what we have characterized as the scum OF
Europe We have deplored in terms of re-
sounding superiority the low grade of much
of the immigration to our shores. The fear
has been expressed that American life and
customs would suffer from the association
But we had as well free our minds of all
cant on this subject. Such people do not
inaugurate here methods of violence which
they have learned at home. In many in
stances they take lessons of US. Being in
America they do as they see the Americans
do They seem DESTROYS of utilizing to the
full all the privileges of their new environ
ment. and smuggling up to all the habits OF
their adopted home. The mob at present
seems to be the thing for the redress of all
grievances and they, too, go in for the mob.
The truth cannot. and if it could it should
not, be concealed about this matter. We are
at the head of the hunt so far as mobs are
concerned. The scum of Europe have moth
ing to teach US in the way of violence. We
have carried the gentle art of destroying
property and of doing people to death to a
higher degree of atrocious perfection than
any of the modern people of Europe. The
widest of our immigrants never applied at
home the torch to a human being, and the
Cowardice of the member of the Malta who
strikes in the dark is not greater than that
of the man who with a thousand others of
like kidney at his back. burns or strangles
or shoots a prisoner to death. When we
have purged ourselves of the mob spirit it
will be an easy thing Ito handle new

A Case of Cleyelanditis.

Ex-Cov Brown of Maryland Is booming
Grover Cleveland for President without re-
gard to the fact that Maryland has candl-
date for the place. Hear him:
81 am for Grover Cleveland for President,
without regard to platform. l believe that
IL he were renominated a wave OF enthu-
siasm for him would sweep the country,
and within a fortnight of the date of his
denomination his election would be almost
generally regarded as foregone concur
sion.
thousands of independent republicans
who have not been pleased with President
RooseveltS administration, particularly
with regard to labor questions, and who
are willing and ready to support an abso-
lutely safe man, would rally to the Cleve-
land cause. The cry of third term would
brighten no one, and the followers of Bryan
could not prevent Clevelands election. In
fact, nothing could prevent his election.
1.-The fact that he has served eight years
as President would be in his favor with
thinking men, for he has been tried and
found not wanting. His weaknesses are
already known. and everybody has some.
The trouble is. they are not found out
sometimes till after election. You may say
l am for Cleveland for President and that
I believe that he would poll more votes
than any other American, not excepting
President Roosevelt
This is a genuine case of Clevelanditis.
Give US Cleveland or give us death. With
out him it is certain defeat. With him we
cannot lose. He is a platform in himself.
Leave everything to him. He is the
brightest and best of the sons of the
morning" Whatever he says on whatever
subject should go. The country knows him.
The people trust him. He is first, and the
rest are nowhere.
Men who talk in this strain seem never to
realize that they are showing the greatest
contempt for the American people Their
proposition virtually is to throw the coun-
try into the hands of g. receiver. The re-
publicans. we are asked to believe, have
failed under Mr.. Roosevelt, and the demo-
Gratis have nobody but Mr.. Cleveland for
the place. If this is true, why Is it not in
order. and really the proper thing, to ask
Mr.. Cleveland to take charge Of matters
and run them for the remainder of his nat
ural life? What assurance have we that
our scheme of government has not failed ?
If there is but one man living who can turn
the trick. then we must have reached that
dreaded era of the one-man power.
We hear this sort of talk as a rule from
men who have had no very intimate knowl-
edge of affairs. They are the ones who
fancy that man in Office needs no advice
and represents nothing but himself. But
bo'. bro"H mas presided over the a1a1rS OF
a sovereign state, and knows how men
reach office and how necessary it is after
they do reach 1t to be supported by those
who have placed them there. No man is a
platform in himself when running for office.
He stands upon a platform which his party
has constructed, and he is in honor bound
If elected to give it fair and just interpre-
tation.
But maybe Gov. Brown was excessive in
his praise of Mr.. Cleveland in order to call
the more attention to his opposition to Mr..

The Dilemma of Grout and Fornes.

Unless they stick to the strait and mar
row way OF political righteousness Messrs
Grout and Fornes, respectively controller
and aldermanic president of Greater New
York, are in a serious danger of becoming
discredited on all sides. They have been
nominated by the reform fusionists along
with Mayor Low. and last night when for
mally notified they accepted verbally and
promised TO deliver written acceptances
later. Meanwhile they have been ap-
preached by agents of the Tammany ma
chine and offered the Endorsement Of that
organization for the same offices on the
regular democratic ticket. they being demo

Croker,

Enter Richard Croker. The New York
American quotes him at length today on
the mayoralty situation And yet the prob
ability is that Mr.. Croker has been in all
the conferences from the start. The mails
are regular. The ships are swift. There is
a good deal of running back and forth be-
tween New York and London. Mr. Croker
is never out of reach. And there is prob
ably never a moment when he is not willing
to drop anything he may be occupied with
and take up the affairs of Tammany Hall
OF course he speaks through the American
for Tammany's success. He hears with i'm
patience all talk about non-partisan control
OF New York city. and asks for the return
of Tammany to power. The deliverance is
characteristic, and comes. probably by ar
rangement, on the eve of Tammanys con-
vention.

The Nicaragua Route.
From the En- cheering News.


The construction of a canal at Nicaragua
means a larger expenditure, according to
the estimates of the commission; but this
additional expenditure is about covered by
the sum proposed to be paid to the Panama
Canal Company. 1t involves greater
amount of work than a canal at Panama;
but the works are of less magnitude than
those at Panama and present on the whole
fewer engineering difficulties.
On the whole. therefore. we see no rea-
son for particular disappointment if the
short-sighted Colombian legislators shall
reject offer for the Panama franchise.
The nation can proceed now to build canal
in Nicaragua and can have the satisfaction
of proceeding on virgin ground and not un-
dertaking the completion of project which
had been in former years indelibly branded
with failure and dishOnor.

Carmack Gives Up!

Senator Carmack has given up his con-
test for the repeal Of the fifteenth amend
ment to the Constitution. He says that any
direct effort on the part of the southern
man to bring about that result would prob
ably make it party question. which must
be avoided. AS 1t cannot be any other
kind of question he will drop it. No re-
publican would do otherwise than contest
such a movement Southern pressure was
the thing that led to the temporary aban-
donment of this hopeless issue.

The WORKOUT Worlds.

Out in space, past the furthest stars,
They say there are planets cold
Where the songs of life have all been sung
And the stories have all been told.
And they roll in their old accustomed way,
Cherries and dark and bare;
And there's never a laugh and there's never
a sigh
To shatter the stiffness there.
They travel the hours and the days and
years
AS they did in the long ago,
Like one who is searching his cherished
hauntS
For the friends that he used to know.
And it's hard hard luck for a planet dark
Or heart that was warm of old
To find that the songs have all been sung
And the stories have all been told.
