WORKING A SCHEME.

The Indianapolis Sentinel Is pretty sure that Roosevelt's nomination is not such a dead sure thing as he himself would like The Sentinel says that what was at frs. only a distant rumble has increased in volume and intensity until now "the full thunder of factionaI warfare is centered around the head of the President" Our contemporary does not see in the signs of the times any indication that Mark Hanna can secure the nomination. It argues that "the sole purpose in boost ing Hanna is to create such a feeling against Roosevelt that ultimately some one else will have to be named"
 This is no new thing in political war fare. A direct attack by Republicans on Roosevelt would not be good politics. A direct effort to build up a sentiment for any particular man would not be a pru- dent move just as this time. for 1t would bring up the direct issue and conflict be- tween that other man and the President. and the time for that has not yet arr rived. It would solidify Roosevelt's friends and defeat any effort to supercede AAAAA' @Ao NSNSVA pAoAAs dS HIS opponent IS reason. is to discuss the qualifications and availability of those who differ from Roosevelt in all the essentials, and thus gradually draw public attention away from him, that it may afterwards be con- centrated on another man.
 The Sentinel thinks Fairbanks is the man they are grooming, but that is i'm. material just now. though our contem- porary does not believe that Hanna is in the running at all. It looks on him as not man to be considered at all, in which opinion 1t may be mistaken. but that is not so important The main point is tha t opposition to Roosevelt is growing and that his enemies in his own Party are scheming for his overthrow. When they think it safe to do so, they will quit beat ing about the bush. come out in the open and show who their man is. It Is a nice

game they are playing, and we should wish it success did we not fear that they may center on man who will be harder to defeat than Roosevelt.
 There is no doubt that Mark Hanna has a strong, if suppressed. following. He Is too prominent in his Party and in the councils of the nation not to be regarded as Presidential timber. He is shrewd. in- teiiigent and aggressive, when aggres- siveness is the best policy. If he would use his great powers as an organizer and manager earnestly and faithfully for Roosevelt. the latter's nomination would be almost assured, and the same powers would do more to elect the nominee than any other one thing, but will he do 1t? If any one can say with certainty that Hanna does not want the nomination, and that he will be faithful to Roosevelt, that one has information not open to others. In fact. the only one thing that is beyond question is that the President lacks a great deal of having the solid and loyal support of Republicans.

It appears from this that Judge Par. kers vote ill 1897 was e0,0OO less than Au. 9ustuS Van Wyck's in 1898 139,0OO less than Stanchfields in 1900 and 102 600 less than Coler's in 1902. The cold explana. ton of his election is found in the fact that Judge Wallace, Platt's candidate for Chief Justice in 1897, received the small est vote cast by that party in twenty years with one exceptfon-for Secretary of State in 1887. 1t was 16S,OOO less than the vote for Roosevelt in 1898, 21I 900 less than the vote for Odell in 1900 and 172, ,OOC less than the latters vote in 1902. when he came within less than 5000 votes of being beaten.
 Judge Parker had the benefit of the btt- terness of the Low Republicans against Platt for running Tracy. The Citizens Union did not put upon its ballot the name of any candidate for Chief Justice, and thus the total vote for the two Judges was 74O00 less in the city alone than the total vote of the three candidates for Mayor. Wallace lost, the votes of the Re- publicans who supported the Low ticket. By this alone, and in the city alone, Judge Parker profited more than enough to make up his plurality of 60,O0O in the State.
 Yes. New York is an uncertain State politically, and a study of its voting re- cord is always interesting and informing in any attempt to predict its future ac- ton,

by plurality of 60,SS9. And Roosevelt. with all his military prestige and his high personal character to help him, won only by scratch in 1898. Both Senator Platt and Colonel Roosevelt admitted that roosevelt was elected by Democratic votes. and that his election was due, as senator Piatt said. to Croker's action in opposition to the independence of the ju- dlclary."
 The fact that Judge Parker is the only Democrat who has carried the State since the free silver craze and Bryan sfrncL the party Is adduced to show his exception al strength as Presidential candidate. It may be instructive, therefore to conn pare the total vote of the State for the two leading parties since 1892:

The Omaha World-Herald evidently hasn't high opinion of the President as a speaker for special occasions. Speaking of his proposed address at Gettysburg, it says:
 There has been but one battle fought at Gettysburg and probably there will never be another There has been but one ora ton delivered there and probably there will never be another.
 Whatever may be thought or said of Lincoln. his Gettysburg speech will stand out as one of the public addresses worth preservation. For Roosevelt to speak at that historic place will not add to his reputation, for even his best friends are sure to compare his speech with Lincoln 8 and the comparison will not be hattering to the President.

ton.
 Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.
 coupled with the discussion of the mes- sage there has been an extraordinary amount of talk regarding an editorial Tn The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, in which an eHort was made to turn down Roosevelt as the Republican candidate for the Presidency on the score of innate political weakness. Almost every man is inclined to believe the editorial was in- spired by the friends of Perry s. Heath. former Assistant Postmaster-General, who was handled without gloves in the Bris- tow report and who was not treated any too tenderly in the Presidents own mem orandum.
 Technically, of course, MT. Heath has no personal interest in the paper, but he was once Its editor-in-chief and the in- fuence of his family in that vicinity is well understood. There are some other influences out in Ohio which are antag- onistic to the President, but which long ago have been discounted. Rathbone, the convicted Cuban boodler, was once a power in Republican politics in Ohio. and Machen, now under indictment for parti- cipatton in the recent postal frauds, comes from the same State The general opin- ion, therefore, is. that the editorial dis cussion was merely an attempt to get even with the President, and there is no possibility of such thing as the loss of the Ohio delegation to President Roose- welt next June

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1903.
OF WHAT UsEp

Some days ago we saw statement to the effect that some foreign country, Ger many or Russia, perhaps, is going to try an experiment looking to the raising of giants. The scheme contemplates provld- ing for and enforcing the marriage of the largest speciments of men and women to be found Tn the kingdom, with the hope or expectation that the progeny will fol- low after their parents in their physical proportions and thus a race of giants will result.
 With apparently the same ultimate ob- feet in view, in a speedier manner, we note that one Professor Herdman of the University of Michigan, professes to have discovered a method of electrical treat ment by which a child growth can be in- creased at least twenty per cent. A small boy, thus treated, becomes a full-grown and well-developed man at the age of 17 years, and we infer, though he does not positively say as much, that his treatment will largely increase the size of the hu- man species.
 From the very beginning of time the human family seems to have taken a deep Interest in abnormally large people. Speaking of the days just preceding the flood, the sacred historian tells us that there were giants in the earth in those days" and throughout both sacred and profane history we find frequent mention of men who lowered above other men and were famous for physical greatne ss. Nowadays the principal demand for them Is as curiosites in the shows, and that demand is because of their scarcity. If they were plentiful they would not att tract so much notice.
 After all, what benefit would the world derive from a race of giants? In the old days. when the efficiency of a warrior de- pended largely on his size and strength. and on his ability to wield powerful blows and to ward off those of his enemy, a giant was a valuable asset to an army; but that is not the case now. A small man is superior to a large one because he can shoot just as well and is much less liable to be hit. An army of giants would be less effective in modern warfare cost more to feed and clothe them and they would afford better targets for the enemy. Unless the experimenters propose going into the show business on a large scale, we don't see the object In raising giants.

 We do not hear from other localities the melancholy vail that comes from New York.
