NOT IMPRESSED BY HIM.

The old New Haven Register is not an enthusiastic admirer of the President, judging from the following:
 A yearning for the office does not nec- essarily prove fitness for 1t. If 1t did, we s loul>- all have a chance to live in the White House for at least one term. Con duct in office does invariably determine ntness, and therefore 1t would be In bet ter taste for Mr. Roosevelt to so i'll out the term, which destiny conferred on hIm, as to compel nomination because of duty well performed. In a sense It IS always entertaining to see old traditions overturned, but the difficulty with upset ting those which hedge about the oft1ce more apt to bring under suspicion the temperament of the man occupying 1t: What will settle MT. RooseveIts political future will be the work or next winter, not the rollicking good time he has had in the West.
 The papers which but lately were de- claring that Roosevelt was not seeking the nomination evidently spoke too soon, for few public men have exhibited a more palpable desire for an office than he has done and is doing. He makes it appar- ent wherever he goes, both in his speeches and by his actions. In truth, he seems to be depending more on the arts of the politician for success than on the approbation of a people for duty well performed. We freely admit that this was not what was expected of Roosevelt. It was firmly believed and positively as- serted that he would be a thoroughly in dependent President, scorning the meth ods of the political place hunter and be- ina governed only by his soheitude for the honor of the country and the well fare of the whole people.
 We'll, he Is in many respects disap- nointment. If it should be considered too severe to call him demagogue no mis- take will be made in speaking of him as A politician. He is showing it wherever he goes, by what he says and by what he does. He is not the independent. fear less official that his partisans predicted, and some of them do not hesitate to ad- init 1t. We think he will be nominated because his party dare not refuse him, but his nomination will owe more to the machine than it will to his fidelity u duty or to any conspicuous fitness for the position he holds He will use the machine for all 1t is worth and he will work tho wires for all that is in them. His nomination will not be reward for duty well performed but for clever work done among those who will control the convention.

Why Not ClevelandP

Hines.
 Commenting on the possible nomination of MT. Cleveland by the Democrats in 1904, The Knoxville Sentinel observes that in addition to the llird term drawback, his nomination would split wide the Democratic party It might bring into line again some of the eastern gold Demo- crats, but 1t would lose the Democrats thousands of votes and success would be impossible. Just for the pastime of 1t. 1t would be impossible. The Sentinel will probably admit that Mir. Cleveland is stronger in the East and North than any other man who could bo nominated. He would have, we take 1t, the solid South, and there would only remain a few States in the central West for a battle ground. In the West we know of no man who would stand a better chance than MT. Cleveland. To be sure, ne would encounter the outer edge of the Bryan influence. but that would be more than offset by the accretion from the ranks of disgrunted Republicans. We are not ever sanguine at this stage for the success of any Democrat. but we are quite sure that Mr. Cleveland could come nearer winning than any of the men suggested for the nomination up to this time.

Cleveland Or a Southern Democrat

Macon OIa) telegraph.
 All doubt Is now removed, If there ever was any, and Roosevelt will be nomi- mated for President by the Republicans; and he will be elected if the apostles or disorder and disunion in the Democratic Party are not reiegated to back seats, and a good strong man nominated to lead the outs.
 With Bryan declaring that harmony is utterly impossible the prospects are anything but cheering.
 1here Is one man onIy that would stand a good chance to carry the pivotal States of the East-and that man is Grover Cleveland. lie would also carry the South. No man can carry the wild and woolly West" against the man who once appeared In a National Convention clad in buckskins.
 The question in the South then comes back to the propriety of either going 1t alone by running Southern man, or of uniting with the East in support Of the only man that has a chance of sue cess.
 It would be more difficult to nominate MT. Cleveland, perhaps, than to elect hIm. If We must go down in defeat then why not go down voting for one of our own-a Southern Democrat?

Breeding Brown Pelicans in Florida

Washington Telegram to N. Y. World.
 Uncle Sam now has an aviary of his own where he Is breeding brown peicans. The reservation was acquired by the Gov ernment several weeks ago. but nothing was said about 1t, as visitors were not wanted.
 Pelican Island, on the east coast of Florida, in Indian River. has long bsen the home of the brown pelican and has been overrun by hunters. It is the only place on the east coast where the birds breed in colonies, and as the slaughter almost equaled the increase there was danger of the species becoming extinct So Secretary Wilson secured an order making it a Government reservation, ap- pointed a warden and gave him inst uc- tions that TO one should be allowed to land on the island without an order from the Secretary of Agriculture.
 After the birds leave the island they are protected by the game laws of Flor ida. The birds for years have been sought for their beautiful plumage for feminine decoration. The brown pelican is found only on the coast of Florida.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT US.
Says The centerviile Press:

The editors who expressed themselves for Grover Cleveland, we hope. will have the pleasure of supporting Judge Parker Four editors have expressed their pref these four will hardly have to eat cro W and vote for Grover, but it looks very much as if the Cleveland editors will chosen favorite.
 That's as may be. The fact that four editors have expressed themselves for Judge Parker doesn't indicate a very ex- tensive uprising in his favor, though there is of course plenty of time for a change of opinion which may result in his nomination. Speaking for itself, as the originator of the Cleveland redivivus, Tie Advertiser as no apprehension that 1t will be required to sit down to a dish CT, on Democratic platform, would have io corvine flavor about 1t to this paper. We admit that there have been men mentioned for the Presidency whose nom- ination would be a bitter disappointment and an upheaving dose-not because the swallowing of 1t would be fatal to the swallower, but because the selection of such a man, and on a platform befitting him. would be little better than shame to Democracy. Judge Parker is man of good character and considerable abil- ity. If nominated on such a platform as we hope and expect to see adopted, no good Democrat could give a valid reason for failing to support him. however much he might have preferred another name. We are for Cleveland because we frml V believe him to be the best and strongest | man to nominate. but if the National Convention prefers some one else We pro
 pose to support him, even though there | he crow in the dish

No man can play ball, take a drink or kick a dog in the ancient burg at present on Sunday, because they have enacted ordi- nances to prohibit everything less giddy than reading Sunday newspaper behind closed doors.

Crazy Mans Odd Idea.

Herald.
 A crazy man from Chicago appeared at the White House this morning to urge the President to cause tradesmen, me chanics, merchants and others to adopt a system of naming themselves according to their business, The doorkeepers quick ly passed him over to the secret service men, who had him explain in detail his mission. This he did with interest, being completely wrapped up in his scheme. Much confusion could be avoided if pro prietors of dry goods stores were known as MT. Linen or MT. Calico or Mir.

lieve him to be one of the best feat

unites rare gifts of expression with
such self mastery as gives him mas
terry over an audience. l am glad
