4THE PRESIDENTS YACHT"

We call attention to brief state
ment from the Associated Press dis
patches from Washington of last Sun
day night. It is couched in the follow
ceived information tonight that the
presidents yacht. the, Mayfiower, had
arrived at Colon"
This form of words is not invented
by some captious critic Of the admin
istration, and was not intended to re-
fleet upon the president; but was sent
by the nom partisan agency of the As
ISOLATED Press, and was undoubtedly
phrased by such person connected with
the state department as gave out the
information. Nor can one quarrel with
it as contrary to the fact. From the
way in which it has been employed in
the past, the Mayfower should GER
tainly be styled "the presidents
yacht"
She has been placed at his service
and has run upon his personal errands
precisely as if he had bought her with
his own money and was paying the
charges of her crew and other expenses
out of his own private purse. The peo-
pie who pay for her and in whose serv-
ice she is supposed to be operated have
not. as far as We are aware, conveyed

university is to be self sustaining.
1t would be a rather remarkable in

ration of Mr.. Farson, whose memory
has played Fra Elbertus a scurvy
trick in that he retains no remem-
brance Of having rendered the million
to Hubbard. Farson admits that he
has the million and that he is willing
to bestow it on a worthy object. Last
spring an enterprising reporter offered
this million of Mr.. Parsons for a

FIND TOOLS OF
COUNTERFEITERS
Woman's Apartments Also Furnish Paper
Bearing on Malta.

NEW YORK, Nov 1S-secret service
agents today raided the apartments of
Mrs. Josie Blonde. who had been arrested
for attempting to pass counterfeit coin.
They found metal molds and formulas
for the composition OF counterfeit coin and
four big sticks of dynamite, a coil of fuse
and a supply of Illuminating caps. The
Woman's husband was arrested.
Among the papers found was a list Of
several hundred names both italian and
American, which. the secret service men
are inclined to think has something to do
with Malta matters.
Blonde, the secret service men say, is
acquainted with Morello. the leader of the
gang arrested for alleged completely in the
'fbarreP murder. This gang consisted of
seven or eight counterfeiters who were
rounded UP by the secret service men.

A PARALLEL.

We wonder why the president is SO
slow about recognizing the independ-
ence Of the new government admitted
to be set up in San Domingo. They
down there, and the insurgents have
made every effort to secure recogni-
ton from the United States minister.
This, acting under instructions from
Washington, he has refused to give.
But there was no hesitation about &C
ceding to a similar demand on the part
Of Panama
We did not wait a minute there to
find out whether the Colombian au-
thorities would or would not be able
to put down the revolution and pre-
vent the secession of an important
province. The administration instant
ly sided with the secessionists. 1t es-
poused cordially the doctrine in opposi-
ton to which the people of the North
pledged their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honor forty years ago. 1t
joyously welcomed a seeding state
into the family of nations. 1t put the
stamp of it's disapprobation upon the
policy of Lincoln and his advisers. It
went infinitely farther and faster than
did the government of Great Britain
in our own case during the Civil war,
whose hesitation our people have
scarcely yet forgiven.
1t is believed, of course, that the real
reason for this was that the admins
tration at Washington was behind the
Panama insurrection; that it was d.
rectly fomented from our national cap
ital; and that the secessionists were
furnished with promises of aid, COM
fort and support, if not with assur-
ances that our army and navy would
be at their command if need be.
Whether this is true or not, the paral-
lei between the indecent haste with
which the so-called republic of Panama
was recognized by us and the proper
caution that we have observed in other
like circumstances, as illustrated by
our attitude towards San Domingo, is
Illuminating and instructive.
It is only another example Of the abb
solute disregard of precedent, as well
as all American ideas and institutions,
that now possesses the headstrong man
at Washington, whose open determine
nation to rule, in defiance, If need be,
not only of public opinion but Of the
restraints of law and Of decency, is
openly manifest.

her by any deed of gift to the presf-
dent of the United States. He has
simply assumed that right Of owner
ship, as he is in the habit of assuming
many things.
We are not of those who wish to pick
flaws in the presidents course about
trifes. We hold that when it is nee
essary for him to go from place; to
place upon any business connected
with his Office it is proper that he
should be conveyed at the national ex-
pense, and, if possible. by agencies of
transportation controlled by the nation.
We hold that on all other occasions
than this, on all personal junkets, the
president, like any other citizen, should
pay his way.
We think it scandalous thing that
he should tour the country for weeks
at the expense of great railroad COM
ercise of his authority when a govern
ment vessel is ordered to carry him
hither and thither on pleasure bent.
We do not mean that the people feel or
care for the expense. We do mean that
the character of the man who can ac-
cept great bounties from private inter-
ests, or who can use his official author
ity to divert public property to his own
temporary use. suffers heavy loss.
Presently, perhaps, the general dis
patches from the army and navy will
begin to bear a new color. We shall
hear that "the presidents warship
Kearsarge" has been ordered here or
there. We shall hear that 'the presi-
dents cruiser Olympia" has been d.
rected to take station at such and such
point. 1t would not be improper to
follow this with the announcement
that "the presidents communicating
chief of the army has been directed
to give such and such instructions to
his subordinate officers. This assump-
ton Of the monarchicaI style does not
precede, but follows the fact. The
president Of the United States who can
for a moment entertain such a concep-
ton Of his Office and of the temper Of
the people as to suggest that we would
be within our right in Selling upon tho
property of another nation may well
believe that all the property of this is
his own.
1t is a new idea in American life and
politics personal idea, the abso-
lutist idea. 1t is strictly logical. If
there are no rights outside of the
United States which are sacred against
the exercise of his power, then there
are no rights within the United States
which are sacred against the exercise
of power by its chief executive "The
presidents yacht" harmonizes perfect
ly with the political ideas and systems
that this administration represents
Perhaps the next Court Gazette from
Washington will contain the announce
ment that all correspondence intended
for the presidents eye must hereafter
be addressed to His Highness." Per-
haps the next message to congress may
be signed simply Roosevelt, r. & T."

medicine and swallow the dose that 1t
forces down their threats. They cam
not continue to call themselves Re-
publicans, to act with the Republican
sible for the stand pat policy and yet
go before the people under the name
of Republicans and ask for the sup
port of the voters as Republicans while
filling their speeches with strictly DEM
ocratic doctrine.
Let them choose their party and
their flag. At present they are stand
ing squarely under the Democratic
banner and wearing the Democratic
uniform, while directing a rapid fire
against every Democrat in sight and
calling upon the people to join the
Republican array. Out upon such po-
litical dishonesty. The issues are
made up. The man who honestly be-
lieves in tariff reduction cannot call
himself a Republican today. Either
his party attachment or else his devo-
ton to principle and to the peoples
interests is pretense. Come out into
the open. Be square with the people
for once, and either take the Repub-
lican platform with the name, or give
up your place on the Democratic plat
form or call yourself a Democrat. The
people can be fooled by no such ground
and lofty tumbling as Republican rep
resentatives from this state are now
