ROBERT TODD LINCOLN
ON REPUBLICAN TICKE T
Illinois Man Spoken of Candidate for Vice President
Has Been Recipient of Political Honors.

Probably because last Friday was the
anniversary of the birth OF Abraham
Lincoln. the name of his eldest son. the
Hon Robert TODD Lincoln. has been
suggested and added TO the already long
list of candidates for the Republican
nomination for Vice President. Tn
doubtediy this suggestion. made in good
faith and sincerity by Mr.. Lincoln's
friends, is wholly without the advice
and consent of the man himself.
A man who has been the recipient
of such high hohors as Mr.. Lincoln,
and is now out OF politics and in bust
ness. would scarce be expected to start
out and seek 10 become the tail-ender
on the ticket with the Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt.
Robert T. Lincoln was prominently
mentioned for President-not for Vice
President-when the present occupant
of the White House was in his political
swaGdling clothes, when ne was just
entering politics as a member of the
New York Legislature. and was little
known TO the country at large Mr..
Lincoln as War Secretary in PresI-
ident Arthur's Cabinet.
Two Cases Similar.
President Arthur had come into Office
under similar unhappy circumstances as
enabled Mr.. Roosevelt to reach the
White House by reason of the assassin 5
bullet He N1s, like Mr.. Roosevelt, 4
candidate to succeed himself. There
vas very pronounced opposition to
President Arthur within his own party
as there has been to President Roose-
Welt. and Mr. Lincolns name was promi-
nently mentioned, but his loyalty TO his
chief forbade him TO allow the use Of
his Mans much as he might have cov-
eted the honor. and the nomination, OF
course, went 10 Mr.. Blaine.
In President Harrison's Administration
Mr. Lincoln was the representative OF
the United States at the Court of S..
James His name would no doubt add
great strength TO the ticket everywhere
throughout the country. but perhaps
more especially in Illinois. Y<eh is one
of the States where the Democrats will
put up a hard fight this fall
Now and 1then. whenever time could
be spared from the Presidential talk to
mention the Vice Presidency. the init
nation has been made that it would

Chinese Neutrality.
The Passivity of China, Theoretical
ard Actual.

ard Actual.
( The part which China may take IN
the present Eastern complication is at
present largely an unknown quantity.
Secretary Hays prompt little note.
requesting all the powers TO help
maintain strict quarantine round the
war-infeeted areas. has brought forth
various results. The smaller powers,
which have no direct interest in the
business anyway, replied witll alaerity
inat Secretary Hay could count on
them. France Is waiting to see what
Russia win do.
Japan is ready to be good if<Russia
will. but does not intend to tie her
hands by any promises while the Bear
is still unhampered. Great Britain is,
apparently, waiting to see which way
the eat will jump.
There IS very little doubt, however,
that all the powers except possibly the
two combatants will agree to Secre-
tary Hays plan. But there IS ques-
ton as to China's attitude IN the mat
ter. which is not likely to be answered
until it is all over, and China Is the
quantity in this problem.
The report that Japan has been
sowing newspapers broadcast over the
| Chinese Empire, telling of her recent
victory, Is probably true. 1t is also
fairly certain that she will spare no
trouble in her efforts to commit China
to at least a friendly attitude toward
her. Moreover, Chinese statesmen
have had ample time TO see that the
only hope Of maintaining the indie
pendenee of their country lies i'll some
such maintenance of the principle,

now attempting. Otherwise, she viii

only safeguard against absolute dis

jealousy.
However strong the pro-Japanese
feeling in China may be, it would
nevertheless be a most risky thing for
her TO engage in any active support of
the little island army. Such course
might strengthen the sentiment, which
