CONDITIONS NOT THE SAME
There Is a Vast Difference Between
the Political Outlook of 1884
and That of 1904.

The democratic papers which are trac-
ing fancied resemblances between the
social and economic conditions of 1904
and those which existed in 1884, when
democrat was elected president, are
astray. The republican party was in
power then, as now, and an assassina-
tion three years earlier. in both cases,
sent the vice president to the higher Of
fee. In both cases it was an Ohio man
who was killed and a New Yorker who
succeeded him. But the similarities do
not extend much farther, while the con-
trasts are striking and decisive.
In the early days of 1884 the silver
menace was just coming up, while the
greenback peril had not yet been entire
ly eliminated. Weaver, the greenback
party's presidential candidate, had re-
ceived 307 900 votes in the election just
previous to that year, which was the
largest poll ever scored by presidential
nominee for that party. Butler, the
greenbacker, was to poll 134, 600 votes in
1884. The gold reserve in the treasury
was small, and was getting smaller.
Bankers were uneasy over the outlook
In May, 1884. several bank wrecks took
place in New York city, inciting some
thing like a panic on Wall street. The
opposite conditions, in every respect,
prevail to-day.
AS regards the strictly political con-
ditions. says the St Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat, the contrast between 1904 and
1884 is equally marked Unlike 1891
there is no contest to-day for the re-
publican presidential candidacy. The
party is harmonious and enthusiastic
now, but then il was torn up over the
Garfield -Conkling feud of 1881, which
had projected itself into the congress
sional canvass of 1882, in which the re-
publicans were badly beaten, and also
into the New York governorship cam
paign of 1882, in which Cleveland gained
his big majority. In the elections held
just in advance of the contest of 1904 the
republicans have everywhere been sue
cessful. The democrats had a candidate
in 1884 on whom all of them rallied with
enthusiasm, and many republicans sup
ported him. 1t is the republican and
eXcites the enthusiasm, and that will at
tract votes from the opposite party. In
the more important respects it would be
hard to find two situations in presi-
Dental year more unlike than are those
of 1904 and 1884.

Mr.. HILLS IDEAS.
Subsidies Cannot Bene-
fit Merchant Marine.
President of Northern Securities Co.
Advocates the Payment by the
Government of Bounty on
All Tonnage Exported.

New York, May 25.-James ]. Hill,
president of the Northern Securities
Co. and of the Great Northern Rail
way Co., appeared Tuesday as a wit
ness before the merchant marine
commission, the joint congressional
committee which is investigating the
causes of the decline of American
shipping in order to suggest measures
for remedial legislation.
THE first thing necessary" said
Mr.. Hill, "is to create desire in the
people of this country to own ships.
1t is purely commercial question. If
there is profit in it people will en-
gage in it; if a loss, it is a question
how long people will stick.
Our conditions on the high seas, as
a nation, seem hard to meet. On land,
in spite Of high rates of labor, the
United States has been able to work
out a system without an equal.
''Why we are not able to do this on
the high seas is not clear to me, and
as far as | have investigated it | be-
Iieve that no amount of direct bonuses
will build it into a life worth living.
What the country wants is a mar
ket. Outside of our agricultural prod
ucts, cotton, grain, oil, there are very
few things we can export because the
cost of production is SO high. We
cannot sell them. If we could carry
those products in our own ships it
would be a source of great profit.
"They can build ships in England
much cheaper than here. Citizens of
other countries have owned ships for
the last 40 years to greater extent
than we.
"If we are going to buy a merchant
marine out of the treasury of the
country it won't last long. We must
give people confidence to invest.
81 don't think you will make much
of a success of buying a merchant
marine; it won't stay with you. You
must get people interested, but there
does not seem to be much disposition
on the part of people to go into ship
ping"
How are we going to get back
merchant mariner" asked Mr.. Nc
Dermott.
'If you are willing to put a tonnage
tax on all that goes to foreign mar
kct, everything that goes out of the
country, even to new markets, l
think you will get the ships. That
would come out of the people. The
ship subsidy started in about so min
utes.
"Then your remedy" asked Mr..
McDermott, 'is an export bounty?"
Eyes, that is it,
There are only two courses open:
either an export bounty or govern
ment assistance which would rise into
very large figures"

Is BRYAN FOR PATrlSON ?
Pennsylvania Perennial Office-Seek-
er Said to Be Backed by the
Nebraska Oracle.

There ought to be some recognition
of the news that distinguished Penn
sylvanian has been suggested for the
democratic presidential nomination. 1t
is, OF course, eX-Gov. Pattison; there
could be no other.
The fact that it is a long distance sug-
gestion-coming all the way from Ne
braska-ought not to prejudice it in the
estimation of anybody. We have to
take these things wherever we can get
them. Public opinion may be fairly sus-
pended until it has been ascertained
definitely whether this is deftly con-
cealed preference of Col Bryan, the
only citizen of Nebraska whose explo-
sions of opinion count for anything out
side the state, or whether it is other
wise. The feeling in local Pattisonian
circles, however, says the Philadelphia
Press, inclines to the belief that Col.
Bryan has had a sufficiently sustained
period of mental fermentation to en-
able him to agree with himself upon a
candidate, and that eX-Gov. PattisOn is
his choice.
Now is the time for Pattison to be a
candidate for president, though it viii
not be his first appearance as such. He
has been a candidate for city con-
troller, for mayor, and three times for
governor, so that there is really nothing
ahead of him but a presidential candi-
dacy. Whether Col. Bryan is his next
friend or not his chance Of nomina-
tion this year will be at least as good as
ii was when he was a candidate
eight years ago. He had the Pennsyl-
vania delegation at that time, but it
overlooked the formality of presenting
his name when the roll of states was
called. In view of that circumstance he
has reason to feel encouraged by the fact
that the delegation is not now commit
ted to him.
The availability of eX-Gov. PattisOn
is not to be treated lightly. He is the
one really distinguished suggestion who
can climb up to any sort of platform and
feel perfectly at home. Unlike Judge
Parker he doesn't have to do even a
few platitudes. If he should not be able
TO act as his own platform, as in all cases
heretofore, he will be sure to get some
thing that he will like and can indorse.
no matter who hands it out to him. And
after all, why care what the platform is
If he can only have the nomination?
Even if it should be proven that Col.
Bryan is the author of his candidacy this
time we trust Mr. Pattison will not be
discouraged. Though the wait has been
long, he should be cheerful and hopeful.
All may yet be we'll.

The death of Maurus Jokai at the p

The death of Maurus Jokai at the age
of rs marks the passing of one of the
greatest of the last century novelists,
writes Roswell Field, in the Chicago
Post. Only of late years has Jokai be-
come well known to American readers
through the publication of some excel
lent translations of his more popular
novels. AS a story-teller of power and
brilliancy the Hungarian writer was not
surpassed by any of his contemporaries.
and his works have been translated and
admired in all the continental tongues.
stanch patriot, loyal Hungarian, he
was for many years the idol of his cOur-
trymen, and even some little indiscre-
tions Of old age did not greatly shake the
confidence so long placed in him. The
best critics of fiction literature have
warmly lauded Jokai, and even Mr..
Howells, whose enthusiasm was doubt
less tempered by the fact that the old
writer could not be regarded coming
man. gave way to expression of com
mendation. If there are any JoEajs
looming up on the horizon of modern
fiction telescope is required to see
them.

BUSY TIME FOR CLEVELAND
"Sage of Princeton" Is Working Hard
to Keep Himself Before the
Public Just Now.

The Sage of Princeton is a busy man
these days. For his country's sake-or
for some other reason-he is explaining
to the public the why's and wherefores
of his second administration. Those
were strenuous times. Coming into of
flee at the head of hudde of factions.
with more promises out than an angel
from on high could have redeemed, Mr..
Cleveland foundeied through the whole
four years and returned to private life
eXecrated by nineteenth of his former
followers, and a man without a party.
His reply to it all was an application of
the story of the Indian and the wigwam:
cleveland not lost, party lost. Cleve-
land here" At any rate, Mr. Cleveland
and his party were separated and
through the medium of lectures and
newspapers he is engaged now in telling
us all about it,
Well, why not? asks the Washington
Star. A democratic national conven-
tion approaches. and in some quarters
there is a demand for the return of Mr..
Cleveland to leadership. With all his
faults and failures, there are those who
love him still. Does he love them? Is
he willing to try his hand again? Sure.
He is aiding his friends all he can.
Criticism has pointed out the matters
that need clearing up, and he is address,
ing himself to the task industriously.
Note his Princeton lecture on the sub
ject of the Chicago riots. Note the arti-
Gle which appeared in print on the sub
ject Of the bond deal with Pierpont Nor
gan and the Rothschilds.
Will these contributions to the cur
rent discussion prove of service to the
Cleveland boom? They should not in
jure it. They recite at most only that
with which the country is already fa-
miliar. But they show that Mr.. Ceve-
land is not afraid of that portion of his
record, however shy he may be of con-
fession in the case of entertaining Fred
erick Douglass at the white house. The
cry now is. let the democracy return to
sanity. and Mr.. Cleveland certifies that
the party was sane in his day. Ergo, a
return to sanity means a return to Cleve-
land.
Will Mr.. Bryan bolt? The question is
regarded as an open one. But the sug-
gestion of the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
lana appears to answer it. Tnat Mr..
Bryan would reject him is reasonably
certain. He would either urge the put
ting up of a third ticket and support II
or he would unsheathe his tongue in ad-
vocacy of Theodore Roosevelt. This is
the safest of assumptions.

Wireless Telegraphy in War.


The question of the value of wire
less telegraphy in war has already
been considered. Now it is supple
mented by that of its legality, says
the New York Tribune. The Russian
government has practically served no.
uce that it regards it as illegal. At
any rate, the use of such a device at
the seat of war will be treated as a
breach of neutrality. Correspondents
1elegraDhing without wires will be shot
as spies, and vessels equipped with
wireless telegraphic apparatus ventur-
ing near the scene of war will, il
caught be confiscated as contraband Of
war. So far as correspondents accom-
panying the Russian army are con-
cerned, we may unhesitatingly concede
he Russian right of censorship. That
Is a matter of course. A belligerent
oower has the undoubted right to de-
tide whether it will permit correspond
ents to accompany it's army at all, and
it does let them do so it can, of
course, prescribe what matter they
may send through the lines, and how.
Similarly, it may exercise a censorship
over news vessels entering it's territor-
lal waters, or the waters implicated in
the sphere of belligerent action. But
a general outlawing of wireless teleg-
raphy in that part of the world would
be a much more extreme matter.
