The Slurring of Mcclellan.

Al the unveiling of the monument
erected by the state OF New Jersey on
the field OF Antietam, or Sharpsburg,
as the cOniederates know it, to com
memOrate the yaIor OF her troops in
that action. President Roosevelt and
Governor Murphy, of New Jersey,
made set oratiOns. They lauded in
fulsome terms the work OF the union
forces on that bloody field and de-
ciared that, as the president put it,
had victory fallen to southern arms
that Gay at least two OF the great pow
ers OF Europe would have recognized

commander OF the union forces in that
1ateful conflict No utterance OF his
name was heard by the expectant null
titude of auditors; no word Of eulogy
was spoken OF the man whose genius

achieved the victory.

IN these parlous times Of loot and
official grating in the postal depart
ment of the nation it is refreshing TO
find evidence that all the staff are not
tarred with the same stick OF suspi-
cion and criminal accusation.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne has just repeated the proof
that he, at least. will not stand for
any imposition upon the department
and the people. In the matter of the
postal order supplies, which are fur
nished by contractors, he promptly re-
jected the first bids because his knoWl-
edge of tho printing business con-
WINGED him that the figures demanded
We're eXorbitant. The contract is for
four years and the total amount is
large The second bidding brought
the figures down to a reasonable level
and General Wynne has closed con-
tract that saves the government $751;
coo over the first bids and $4,000 from
tho previous contract. making net
saving of 100000 for the people.
Throughout all the postal troubles
this official standing next to the de-
partment chief. has stood resolutely
for full investigation and publicity.
He has refused to consider that pub
lie business should be done less care
fully and honestly than private bust
ness. His motto has been that "he
serves his party best who serves his
country best" and with that convic-
ton he has insisted that those who
have abused their offices and made
personal merchandise Of the public
business shah be driven from place
and punished as common rascals.
1t is to the honor Of the newspaper
profession that General Wynne was
chosen from it to his present station.
He is a good example of the fair and
square Journalists who in Washington
serve the American public with gov
eminent news and will not conceal or
condone official dishonesties whether
in their own party or in the opposi-

Alarm in the Enemy's Camp.

There seems to be "Skeered" feel
ing creeping over the wiser and more
calculating republicans Of the country.
The signs OF the times are not entirely
to their liking and they are even frank
enough to indulge publicly in suppose
tions that indicate a lack of supreme
confidence in the outcome of the cam
paign of 1904.
The situation in New York city is n
cause for republican anxiety. Under
the name Of fusion--theIr only chance
for successfully are seeking to keep
the city from polling its usual great
majority for democratic ticket. They
realize that should the democrats win
Greater New York against the fusion
combine, the state of New York will
almost surely go into the democratic
electoral column next year. That pros
pect is not pleasing to President
Roosevelt or his party managers.
They have greater dread Of the ma
tional effects of a Tammany victory
in New York city this fall than of any
other political event on the card.
Maryland's condition is also troub-
ling them Senator German has pull
ed the democracy there into fighting
and winning shape. The chances are
all for a democratic victory.
There is an uneasy feeling as
to Massachusetts. Governor Bates,
whose nomination cannot be avoided,
is not so popular as before he was
tried in the gubernatorial chair. He
mas alienated a host Of conservative
republicans and another large loss of
voters is promised because of the
growing demand of Massachusetts
manufacturers and workingmen for
free coal and free raw materials.
Massachusetts is debatable ground
Socialism is growing there at the ex-
pense of the republican vote. Should
the state go democratic in November
it will make a broad breach in the
national republican bulwarks.
The Washington Evening Star eau
tiously but clearly intimates that
Ohio is giving cause for worry to the
republican managers. Even ii Tom
Johnson should fail of election it
seems certain he is going to cut the
republican majority in the state to
dangerously low figure and make the
campaign Of 1904 one of great Difficult
ty and doubt.
1t furthermore admits that the dem
ocrats have the better prospect of
winning Nebraska this year and sup
poses that would mean its sure loss in
the presidential election of next year
also.
These signs of perturbation among
the republicans should be cheering to
democrats. But there is another thing
growing out Of them that should warn
and work wisdom among democrats
and that is the fact that the strongest
hope the republicans can have for vic
tory next year is confusion of counsel
and dIscord of aim and action on the
part of the democracy.

Manufactures in the South.

Inc suggestion made by Mr.. Rich
ARD II. Edmon6s, editor of The Balti-
more Manufacturers Record. that the
southern people should lend all their
capital and energies TO the end of
establishing factories that will convert
INTO finished products all our wealth
OF raw materials, is one that should
get acceptance everywhere in the
south.
In this section we have been for a
century to two centuries producing an
nual crops and stores of raw materials
and bartering them to the owners Of
mills. factories and machinery for the
perfected goods wrought out OF them

New England has grown rich and
powerful. in wealth and commerce be-
cause We have been content to furnish
her with our crude stuff and to buy
back from her for cash in hand the
things necessary to orr life ana COM
tort.
Why should that policy be continued
any longer than the necessary time
for gathering the capital and building
jshing work on the territory where the
raw material is raised, feiled or
mined? The experience of the past
two decades has made it incontestabIe
that here in the south every species
of manufactures necessary to the sup
ply of the daily needs of our people
can be carried on in this section with
unusual advantages and profits. And
now that our people are accommodating
capital, and capital making earnings
attracts other capital. the time is GER
tainly opportune for us to inaugurate
fresh endeavors to increase our factor
ing power

lation to prove that there is capital

A careful observer can see no reason
Why our entire crop is not used to the
more or less finished forms in our own
mills. except it be the conservatism Of
the ordinary man among us who has
surplus money but fears TO venture it
in such enterprises.
The same things can be said of our
woods. marbles. iron ores, steel prod

fields. mines and forests. Now we
are paying an enormous annual bonus
to the owners and operatives OF east

Abyssinia is a small country, but
the percentage scored by American
cotton goods there is very high.
The Italian consular officers keep
their government especially well post

Of the proximity of that country to the
Italian possessions in northeastern
Africa. In a recent report published
by the italian government, there APP
peared the following relative to the
high position taken by American cot
