A REPUBLICANS OPINION.

The Boise Clipper, red hot re-
publican paper and hard fighter
for the candidates on the republic
can ticket during the last cam
paign, has this pertinent comment
on the present legislature;
Our present legislature seems to
be strictly in the swim so far as
pocketing their salaries are con-
cerned, but the bills concocted by
the doughty brain power of the
present degenerate sons of Scion
would shame a rag pickers' circus.
1t is more than whispered that the
Local Option bill has been present
ed or will be presented for the sake
of the brewers money that may be
raised to defeat it. One member
OF that august body declared to
a friend that as there were four
brewers in the state they would be
Obliged to raise as much as two
| hundred dollars each in order to
defeat the bill. We Gods and little
/ fishes What haul eight hundred
dollars is, to be divided between
sixtv-five members. It's safe TO
say that fellow had made up his
mind to sell cheap or else, never
having been troubled by his con-
science, he values that of other
people according to the value he
places upon his own, A good
many republicans are becoming
disguised with the action of the
present legislature. Committeeman

and their heads in the clouds-ot

their smoky camphres in the past

throat of the SOUTH" This, too, is flubdub.
The record shows that Mr.. Roosevelt
negro appointments in the south are only
about a dozen to Mr.. McKinley's fifty. And.
as a rule, they are of a much higher grade
than those made by Mr.. Mckinley. The
latter was handicapped by having to re-
deem some campaign obligations. not en-
tered into by him. but in his name. If Mr.
Roosevelt had selected a single man for
Office deserving of the criticism which was
visited upon the man Demas, who was rec
ognized by Mr.. Mckinley in the distribu-
ton of the louisiana patronage, not
voice could be raised in his defense. But
he has sought for men of good repute. and
has found them. So anxious has he been
to improve the service in the south that
in the case of white appointments he has
on more than one occasion gone outside of
his own party.
AS matter of fact, there is today no re-
publican party in the lower southern states
nor the hope of one The situation is preju-
dical to the interests of the south and to
those of the country at large but 1t cannot
be improved by the Lily White claptrap.

If there is any rational doubt as to the
necessity of system of identifying auto

Thus it appears that automobiles do
sometimes run down pedestrians, whatever
may have been the fortunate immunity OF
the people of Washington from accidents
of this sort in the past. 1t further appears
that those responsible for the damage done
by automobiles sometimes do not concern
themselves as to the consequences of their

A MARTYR to Silver.

And so E. Benjamin Andrews has changed
his mind about silver. What memories the
announcement recalls! 1t seems but yes
terday that he was in Rhode Island laying
down the law on the subject of free coinage
at 10 to 1. and defytng the money power
to do its worst. The challenge was taken
up. That is to say, the trustees OF Brown
University. who were charged with being
the tools of the money power, objected to
the open alliance of the president Of the
institution with Organism. and requested
him to forego his clamor. They tntimated
pretty broadly. too, that probably he did
not understand the question. He resented
this by Offering his resignation, and after
some parleying the resignation was &C
cepted.
Silver circles rang with the outrage. Here
was a man of thorough training and pro-
found thought, who had gone to the bottom
of the subject, had solved it to his own
satisfaction and naturally desired to give
his countrymen the benefit of his invesu-
cations and deductions But no. The money
power. afraid of the truth. and especially
as promulgated by a teacher of such dis
tinction, would not hear him and had
driven him from his post of honor and
comfort. In order to speak freely to ex-
ercise his rights, to assert the dignity OF
citizenship he had been obliged to with
draw from place which he had filled with
perfect satisfaction to everybody in in
terest.
But there was comfort. not to say Ella
ton, among his admirers when 1t was
stated that he would connect himself in an
important capacity with the University of
Nebraska. This seemed in the circum-
stances almost providential. There he
would be the near neighbor of Mr.. Bryan
the apostle of free silver He could not
only commune with the leader of the silver
thought, but give to the country, unvexed
by tyrants or plutocrats. his own thoughts
as they grew and expanded on the most
important of all national questions.
Strangely enough, however. Prof. An
portunity of his new field. AS one of a
small minority in Rhode Island he had
raised quite stir AS one of a noisy ma
jority in Nebraska he seemed to cut no
figure at all. And now comes the news of
his change of opinion. And his explanation
has a certain school-roOm smack. He COM
plains that he was led off. Public men in
whom he trusted proved not to be as wise
as he thought them. He accepted their
teachings. and has since discovered that
they had quite as much to learn as he had
on the silver subject.
And thus endeth the story of this Rhode
Island martyr to free speech and self
respect

The Capital and the Police.

The tribute paid last evening by the
business men of Washington to Major Syl-
yester was well deserved and timely in
dicatiOn of the community's appreciation Of
that officials excellent work at the head
of the local police department, well a
recognition of his high personal character.
Inspired by his recent reelection to the
position of president of the national organ
ization of police chiefs. 1t emphasized the
position which the Washington department
has taken of late in the ranks of the police
forces throughout the country. Largely
through Major Sylvesters hard work and
application of progressive ideas it has ac-
CURED deservedly high reputation for the
efficiency of its members and the excellence
OF it's methods. 1t has thus identified itself
with whatever is advanced and scientific
in the work of the prevention and the de-
lection of crime. and the selection of Major
Sylvester to lead the national organization
was a tribute to the capital as we'll as to
him. The people of Washington have am
compliment rendered to Major Sylvester is
a token that it is increasing with the
passage of time. 1t is regrettable that
Congress is not now in session to observe
this popular Endorsement of the police force
and it's chief. There is urgent need of
more liberal appropriations for the enlarge
rnent of the force, Which is now too small
properly to cover the territory ntrusted to
it's care With a few score more men the
Washington department would rank I'M
questionably at the front among the finest
in the world.

Mr.. Roosevelt to His Friends.

The President has spoken promptly and
directly in the matter in controversy be-
tween Mr. Hanna and Mr.. Foraker. and in
doing so has discharged a duty to himsel
and to his party. 1t is mere bubble to
say that this is not the year of the presi-
Dental race. In Ohio. in Maryland III
Iowa in Kentucky, in Massachusetts even
i'm New York in the mayoralty contest, ma
tional questions and the interests OF ma
tional personalities will enter INTO the
campaign They could not possibly be
kept out Plainly enough therefore, the
thing to do wherever a campaign is organ
izing is to shape it so as to derive the
greatest possible partisan advantage from
them. If the Presidents name possesses
any strength why not invoke it? And in
what state where there is republican
psrty and a chance to record republican
victory does 1t not possess strength?
The English of the Presidents deliver
ance from Walla Walla is this: Il am
candidate to succeed myself in the White
House. and he who is not for me is against
me" The case could not be better stated
The President shows perfect candor and
clear appreciation of the situation He is
at once a game fighter and shrewd poll
tician He knows when a battle is in
progress and the advantages of a good
start The democrats are already trying to
develop a candidate. The republican candi-
date as very many believe is now in evil
dence: and the thing to do, therefore, is to
confess him by formal resolutions. Why
not have it over with speedily as pos
sible seizing the opportunities as they
arise?
But say some of Mr. Hannas friends
Mr. Hanna denies having said anything of
the kind hmself-Mr. Roosevelt may be "a
dead one" before the republican national
convention meets. If he is, Ohio will be
absolved of any preference she may now
result would cancel everything. Mr.. Roose-
welt after making his nomination mad
visable could not hold Ohio or any other
state to an expression delivered In the
days of his strength and popularity. But
why this tenderfootedness on the part of
Mr. Hanna's friends? What makes them
hesitate to go forward in the path which
the republicans of other states are so con-
fidently treading?
That Mr.. Hanna has nisconceived the
situation is made apparent by several
things. but by nothing else convincing as
the support he is receiving from the trust
organ in New York, whose activity at pres
ent is in the direction of finding and bring
ing out the strongest possible democrat to
run against Mr.. Roosevelt for President.
Naturally it encourages every movement
making for dssension in the republican
household.

Reciprocity.
respect.

Representative Lacey of Iowa is quoted
as follows on an important branch of the
tariff question:
Reciprocity. desirable as it is. as a prac-
teal business proposition meets with many
obstacles at home, as we'll as abroad.
Reciprocity in competitive articles, a
principle of republican faith. Is the latest
suggestion. l wish to express my utter dis
sent from this doctrine.
1T Is argued that whenever we may ben
eft one industry more than we injure an
other. by such treaty, we should make the
sacrifice of one of protectors children for
the benefit of the other No one can weigh
in advance the profit and loss of expert
ments of this kind, and no republican plat
form has ever recommended such a policy"
The reciprocity recommended by Mr..
Blaine and Mr.. Mckinley carries no injury
to any American industry They conceived
the policy as capable of an application ben
citing the whole country. The high pro-
tectonists, however, hold that it is merely
a side path to free trade, and should never
on any account be considered. And yet
Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Mckinley were good
protectonists in their day. and accepted as
authorities on the question of taxation.

New York.
New York Tribune.

Prom the New York Tribune.
This cosmopolitan and commercial char
acter has been at once the strength and the
danger of New York Even in the days
closely preceding the revolution it repre-
scented continental interests far less than
than its neighbors Boston and Philadel-
phia, and after the Constitution was
framed it developed a school of politicians
expert at manipulation, but little infiuen-
tial in the development of national policies.
Today New York, great as it is does not
exercise it's due political influence on the
rest of the country just because of it's COM
mercialism and cosmopolitanism. Its chief
energies are devoted to business. 1t does
not take time or possess the unity of spirit
needed even to safeguard it's own political
interests. In certain sense it is an ag-
giomeration rather than community. 1t
is aggregation of communities, each
with it's own ideals, and almost all the
individuals in each first intent on making
money. 1t is the workshop of thousands
who dwell elsewhere and take no part in
it's civic life, the resort of other thousands
who come from all over the world to spend
money or get it to spend elsewhere. Favor
ed by nature with an uneXcelled situation,
rapid expansion has been forced upon it.

meath the wheels Of the street locomotives.
1t matters not that pedestrians get rattieo
and turn two ways at once and otherwise
contribute to their own undoing. The fact
remains that accidents do happen-in other
cities-and that automobilists who are the
agents through whom the injuries are IN
fiicted, whether responsible or not, run
away from Identification and possible pun
ishment Evidently it will not do to trust
to the automobilist's own sense OF justice

with his victim. while another view Is taken

Mr.. Mckinley and the South.

In the discussion of the southern question
the assertion is sometimes made that had
Mr.. Mckinley lived. or his methods been
copied by his successor several of the
southern states would now be safe in the
republican column. We are asked to be-
lieve that a revolution was on the cards.
and would speedily have been consum-
mated. The flower of the democracy had
grown tired of a short sighted leadership,
and hungered for better associations But
to tragedy at Buffalo changed all this.
Men who had been converted by Mckinley
found that they could not stomach Roose-
welt, and 50 turned back to affiliations
which they actually hated. Gone are all
hopes of a republican party in the south.
Long will the democratic machine continue
