up as to whether the President has

IN re-appointing Byrne as federal
district attorney of Delaware and
Crum as collector of customs at

the equation as yet. The important point is
that Mr.. Morgan Is really the defendant In
the suit as well as the plaintiff. The Mon
mouth is owned by the Central Railroad OF
New Jersey. That corporation is in turn
controlled by the Reading Railroad. The
latter. In It's own turn. is chiefly controlled
by Mr.. Morgan. Thus II Mr.. Morgan were
to push a button and summon a certain per-
son the word would pass down the line to
others and some minor official in the Office
of the Central Railroad of New Jersey
would be told to put his o. X. on Mr.. Nor
gan's bill against that corporation.
Mr.. Morgan has preferred. however, to let
matters take their course. He doubtless
feels the responsibility of the corporation
maker too keenly to permit mixture Of
his private and public affairs. Only by keep
ing an even keel in such matters can a
magnate be confident of steering a straight
course through the channels Of financial
complexity. For there Is no knowing how
many more corporations Mr.. Morgan may
eventually have within reach OF his push
button service.

The Cereal Crops.

Reports of the wheat and corn crops have
fuctuated during the summer as the sea-
son has varied IN mildness or severity. In
dryness or moisture. In the spring condi-
lions pointed TO large crops, perhaps to
record-breakers. Then in the early summer
the continued moisture in certain sections
threatened TO retard the growth, and later
there seemed to be too little heat to head
out the yield sufficiently to render the
crops of special value. But August was
sufficiently hot. II now appears, to make
good the deficiency. and the latest govern
ment reports point to enormous crops of

A Tammany Orators Wisdom,

Tammany's ranks include many seers Of
ghosts, but according to the late news re-
ports, none is gifted with quite so fertile an
Imagination as Mr.. William Astor Chanler,
who represented New York's fourteenth dis
trict in Congress for one term follower
of the Tiger. Last night Mr.. Chanler ad-
dressed club of fellow democrats in New
York city and in the course of his remarks
he said:

beaten. and then he will be appointed am
bassador to France. He would not have run
to get the licking he is bound to get If he
did not know that by running and being de
feated he would get the French mission
1t is unfortunate that the reports do rot
disclose just how this remarkable statement
was received by the supposedly intelligent
hearers of Mr.. Chanler. Sometimes a man
will ride for a falr' with deliberate inteat
But the consideration for his sacrifice arc
always palpable and appreciable. 1t is yet
to be explained how the President could see

republican party in the state and therefore
in the country at large. If the case had
been reversed in the statement, If Mr..
Chanler had accused Mayor Low Of bar

for his second election there would have

as the estimates now stand, will be just
about the same as last year and considera-
bly, below that of two years ago. the corn
crop will be materially below that of last
year and very much larger than that of
1901. This means a good average for both
crops. at which the farmers can reap a
satisfactory profit without danger of a
glut of the market on the one hand or an
excessively high price on the other. The
demand for cereals grows annually, and 1t
is becoming evident that apart from yearly
fluctuations the crops are not quite keep

Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. German.
This is from the Hartford Courant:


Since the unexpected forgiveness of
John H. Clarke by Colonel Bryan some Of
the friends of Hon. A. P. German are much
encouraged. If the lamp holds out to burn
for such goldbug and bolter as the Ohio
man. they argue. why not for the Maryland
statesman alSo?'
Yes. but will Mr. German pay the price?
Remember. please. that Mr.. Bryan did not
make the advances in Ohio. The democracy
there Endorsed the Kansas City platform,
nominated a candidate for governor friendly
to Mr. Bryan. and then by formal resolu-
ton invited Mr.. Bryan into the state to
speak. Nothing could have been hand
somer. Nothing was left undone to testify
to the highest respect for Mr.. Bryan and
all for which he stands. Mr.. Clarke's nomi-
nation for senator was part of these pro-
ceedfngs. He is as much bound by them as
Mr.. Johnson himself. For this campaign
at least. he Is for all practical purposes
Bryan man.
Now what could Mr. Bryan do but accept
this overture in it's entirety? How churlish
1t would have been for him to draw the line
at Mr.. Clarke! Instead Of that, he went
into the state, gave one hand to Mr. John
son and the other to Mr.. Clarke. and
greeted both heartily. And that was good
politics
Now here is the cue. VIII Mr. German
and his friends in Maryland take 1t? They
are soon to put up a state ticket and adopt
platform. A United States senatorship is
in the balance. VIII their candidate for
governor say word of praise of Mr..
Bryan? Will their platform indorse the
Kansas City platform? And will they then
by formal resolution invite Mr.. Bryan into
the state to assist in the campaign? That
Is the way to capture Mr.. Bryan. If the
friends Of Mr.. German would like to have
the Nebraskan smile upon their favorite
the course is open. They have but to fol-
low the lead Of their buckeye brethren.
But maybe the Hartford Courant Is In
jest, or is not well advised. So far from
taking the necessary steps to secure Mr..
Bryans Endorsement Of their favorite, Mr.
Germans Maryland friends would bestir
themselves to prevent 1t. So far from in
wiling him into the state to help in the can
vass they would picket the borders of the
commonwealth to keep him out If notified
that he meditated paying them visit this
fall.
And. by the way, what has become of
that hefty and vociferous Silver League,
with headquarters in Baltimore, which made
such an exciting campaign-on paper-in
1896 and again in 1900?

Europe Still Waits.

The chief concern of Europe in the pres
ent crisis presented by the situation in the
70 Balkans seems to be for peace between the
powers. Horror is expressed by a few indi-
vduals in high office at the atrocities COM
mitted by the Turkish soldiers in Macedonia.
An occasional interview with an unnamed
diplomat voices the apprehension of the
governments lest some "untoward' act may
precipitate general conflict But thus far
not one word of protest has been emitted
from any OF the chancelleries, no step has
been taken to put an end to the awful deeds
Of the sultans troops. The powers calmly
watch Bulgaria for the first sign of war
like intent. Bulgaria does not at present
propose to be drawn into the melee. from
which. without European aid, she would
emerge in a sorry plight.
Russia and Austria, the dispatches say
are striving to avert war and to check the
Turkish bafbarities. But this is being done
under cover and nothing definite appears
as a result. Meanwhile the massacres con-
tinue and the Christian population of the
Balkans is rapidly diminishing. The sultan
has indicated his defiance of the powers as
long as they remain on the plane of non
Intervention by continuing to pour troops
into Macedonia and to permit the commits
sion of the most horrible crimes The secret
enterprises of Russia and Austria appear
to be of no avail. and there Is no assurance
that they viii bring the case to a turn.
At Beirut single stroke by this govern
ment put Turkey on the defensive and gave
the United States command of the situa-
ton. There will be no atrocities there I'M
less the war spirit sweeps over all Syria
and carries the Moslems beyond the control
OF the porte. The European interests in
the Balkan region are heavier by many
times than those OF the United States at
Beirut. The sultan is maintaining there a
nuisance which menaces the political and
moral health of the entire continent Yet
the case is relegated to the realm of dipIo-
macy and intrigue and the governments not
actively engaged in the underground work
look on quietly. There is evidently serious
need of bit of shirt-sleeves craftsmanship
which will deal with the Turk as a COM
mon malefactor

MI. Hoar on National Issues.

At Salem yesterday Senator Hoar. who Is
always heard with respect and attention,
discussed before the Essex Club of Massa-
chusetts the tariff and the race question.
He said as to the former:
We hear a great deal nowadays of
reciprocity and of foreign trade and of re-
vision of the tariff. revision of the tariff
is necessary as 1t Is for Massachusetts,
to revise the statutes. The time to make
those changes is not in the year before a
presidential election but after a presiden-
tial election
The Iowa idea" seems to be working
even in New England. What Mr.. Hoar con-
cedes is all thai. the friends of revision de-
mand. No republican now is pressing for
revision prior to the presidential election.
All that is asked is that the party in power
shall pledge itself If successful again at the
polls next year to overhaul the Dingley
schedules looking to lowering duties no
longer necessary to a just application or the
policy of protection. Mr.. Hoar and Gov.
Cummins are practically at one on the main
proposition. though likely to differ as to
details when the work of revision is
taken up.
On the race problem Mr.. Hoar said this:
II know. my friends. that there are spe-
cial difficulties in this problem as 1t affects
our colored felow-citizens- 1 know how
deeply moved are the feelings of our south
ern brethren. 1 would not utter toward
them a word of reproach. 1 know how
near to their homes and how close to their
social and political life comes this cloud
and shadow.
Il see that one enthusiastic southern gen
tleinan has renewed the proposition that
we shall send the ten million negroes out
of the country. This is totally impracti-
cable. Let us not delude ourselves. We
have got this question to meet squarely at
home. The negro will stay. The European
and Asiatic will come. You cannot turn
them out and you cannot keep them out.
The Massachusetts, senator opposed the
Chinese exclusion law, and evidently still
opposes the principle involved. He as much
as predicts the repeal of the law and the
ultimate appearance of Chinese in this
country In unrestricted numbers. He him
self 1t is safe to say, will not live to see
such a thing, and 1t is not likely that his
youngest grandchild will.
AS for the negro. he is here, and here to
stay. Deportation is impossible. The bare
suggestion Is a species of nonsense. But 1t
Will not do merely to stand upon that
There is race problem, and it must be
met. Simply to admit that the problem Is
difficult. and that sympathy Is due those
upon whom 1t presses most heavily, will not
lead US out Of the woods To enforce the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the
Constitution would not wholly solve the
problem, but 1t would at least be step in
the right direction. 1t would put our ma
tional law-making body upon lawful and
logical basis, and decrease the legislative
power of the section where in local affairs
the minority rules. The present basis of
representation in Congress Is not only I'M
lawful. but prejudicial to the best interests
of the country.

Mr., Hanna.

The country will hope for Mr.. Hanna s
early restoration to health. An aggressive
and able man. he is a figure of Importance
in the national political equation. and
easily the principal figure in the present
Ohio campaign. His absence from the
stump this fall would detract from the In
terest that now attaches to the buckeye
shindy. 1t might not imperil his election,
but would necessarily make his friends
anxious. A little more rest, however, will
probably tone up a weak stomach and
strengthen a game" knee, and enable Mr..
Hanna to come out vigorously in the later
days Of the canvass. Election day is eight
weeks off,
