Gen, Woods Havana Monument.

In the Independent for Aug. rs, Bishop
WARREN A. GAMBLER, d. D., Of Georgia,
reports his return from his seventh visit
to Cuba, and pays various merited COM
pliments to the new Government of the
island for it's successful conduct Of Gu
ban affairs. He notes that while Presi-
dent PALMA is not regarded as a bril-
liant man," his people have confidence
in his wisdom, prudence and honesty.
They believe that he will notli nor steal
nor permit political corruption to four
ish around him."
Upon one point the good Bishop
opens a good sized vial of righteous
indignation. He contrasts President
PALMA's veto Of lottery bill with Gen.
WOODS establishment, by concession
Immediately before his departure, Of
the Jai Alai, 'one OF the meanest forms
Of gambling, which would not be toler-
ated in any city Of the United States for
one hour" He states that it would not
be tolerated by the Cubans IL they could
help themselves, "but when they have
indicated purpose to undo the nefarious
concession they are told by the man
agement that the company is protected
by the Platt Amendment. DR.. GAMBLER
is entirely right upon that point. The
claim that the institution is vested
property right acquired under an Ameri-
can act, and protected by Article Nv.
of the Platt Amendment, is the rook Of
defence Of the Jai Alai Of Havana. We
give the Bishops comment:

The Primaries.

Senator PATRICK HENRY NcCARREN's
effort to oust Deputy Fire Commissioner
WILLIAM j. DOYLE from the Democratic
leadership Of the Seventh Assembly
district in Kings county is the most in
teresting of the primary coltests to be
decided tomorrow. Mr.. DOYLE Is the
most conspicuous -McCarren leader
In Brooklyn, and to defeat him would
strengthen the long Senator's position
materially. 1t would also be consid-
cradle victory for him to eliminate
JAMES SHEvLIN from the Brooklyn ma
chine by overcoming that statesmans
friend, THOMAS r. FARRELL, the present
leader in the Eleventh District.
In Manhattan the philosopher-philol-
ogist, WILLIAM STEPHEN DEvERY, is
again in active combat with FRANK D.
GOODWIN, the Tammany leader in the
Ninth district, though, even we're Mr..
DEvERY to be successful, it is not prob
able that the Hon. CHARLES F. MURPHY
would allow him a seat in the Tammany
executive COMMITTEES. The other Tam
many contests are as uninportant to
the party at large as this.
Among the Republicans the attack
in the Nineteenth district on the present
leadership is mainly of personal signif-
canoe. That is true, too, Of the fight in
the Twenty-fifth district.

DAVID B. HILL is now reported as ue-
clarine that the State of New York would
certainly be carried by Judge PARKER. ~
ia added that HILLS friends are inclined
10 reject the Republican plan OF nom-
mating justices CULLEN and WERNER
for the Court of Appeals" on the ground
that 4the Republicans realize the state
ia lost to them and have suggested the
Cullen-Werner programme in order to
save one of the Judgeships from the
general party disaster The Hill plan
ia to have the Democrats nominate
independently, Attorney-General GUN
SEsN and Justice D. CADY HERRIcK OF
Albany.
That is typical Hill politics. In the
frst place, neither he nor any other
politician, Democratic or Republican,
IL at all certain or even confident as to
the result of the election in New York
In the second place, the movement for
the nomination of Justice CULLEN as
Chief Judge and Justice WERNER as
Associate Judge is not distinctively ne
publican. The preeminent fitness OF
Justice CULLEN, Democrat, for Chief
judge is recognized by the whole bar
without regard to party. Justice WEIR
NRR, Republican, is now sitting In the
Court OF Appeals by designation OF the
Governor, and his qualifications for the
place are undisputed. HILL is simply
maneuvring to prevent the nomination
of Justice CULLEN as a punishment 1or
having rendered an impartial judgment
in the Maynard case.
As to the prospects of the election in
the State of New York, nothing approach
ing the certainty of the Democratic
triumph predicted by HILL appears.
The chances, as judged by the election
for Governor in 1902, favor the Republi-
cans rather than the Democrats. AS
a very intelligent correspondent OF IHE
sun showed the other day, according to
the average percentage of increase in
the poll of the State at Presidential
elections since 1880, the number Of votes
cast next November will be / ,673,293. II
the two parties should preserve the
respective percentages Of that poll which
they received in 1902, the Republicans
would have this year plurality OF
moro than 10000.
OF course, there is no sort OF certainty
that this Democratic percentage will be
increased. The chances are rather the
other way, considering the revival OF
Populisn and the attractive candidacy
ofWATsoN. 1t is obvious that the Demo-
Gratis will lose some Of the Bryanite ele-
msnt. Even If it j, only small per-
oentage it will be enough to defeat the
Democratic ticket.
HILLS pretence Of certainty is very
cheap politics. But there will be a
certainty of quite different kind
il he now succeeds in his project to
interfere with judicial honesty and in
dependence by preventing the nomina-
ton Of Justice CULLEN for Chief Judge,
IN association with the Republicans.

A notable feature Of primary contests is
the attention drawn to them by signs and
transparenoies on liquor saloons, giving
the name OF the favored candidate, and
over It the words, sour Choice for Leader.
In some Of the districts in tho most popu-
lous sections of town more than half OF tha
saloons thus display the recorded prefer
ence Of the proprietor.
When tho present Liquor Tax law was
adopted In 1896, ono Of the expectations
OF those active in its adoption was that the
saloon would be taken out OF politics.
Yet not only do the saloonkeepers continue
to take an active part in politics and do not
object to having their preierenoes known
but, also in order to make such preferences
better known, they hang out Transparent
cies with the name OF their candidate.
A lively primary contest. such as has
been in progress In several districts this
year, means considerable financial har-
vest for the saloonkeepers Of the neigh
borhood.

Early Opening OF the Forgery Season

The Democratic national committee
Is going to place In the hands oi every
voter In the land" campaign document
which contains divers quotations from
Mr.. RoosRvEIT's published works, and
this palpable forgery:
"FARMERS-Mr. BRYAN and his sdherents
have appealed to tho BASEST SET IN THE LAND
tho fsrmers-speoch before New York Wool
Exchange, Oct. 81. issd."
Alienists and other students Of cere-
bral degeneration have not studied SUI
ficiently the convolutions Of the cam
paign literature perverts. Gould any
body above the rank OF cretinous IDIOT
be made to believe that any man in pub
lie life would make such statement
about great class OF voters as ID mere
attributed to Mr.. ROOSEVELT?
What is the genesis of this whopper!
A rally of sound-money men at the
Wool Exchange, Oct. q, 1895, was ad-
dressed by Mr.. ROOSEVELT, Gen. HORACE
PORTER and Col. FRANKLIN BARTLETT.
We have not at hand report OF Mr..
RoosEvELTs remarks, but the tenor OF
a part of them may be inferred from an
interview with Mr.. ROOSEVELT printed
in THE SUN of Oct. 2S. He had recently
returned from stumping tour in Miohi-
gan and Illinois Here Is a sentence on
which the forged quotation may be
founded.
Undoubtedly BRYAN has great hold upon the
unirtclllgent and the vicious. He attracts the
tyne of farmer whose gate hangs on ono hinge
whose old hat supplies the place OF missing win
dow pane, and who Is more likely to be found al
the crossroads grocery than behind the plough
It was a fact, and a commonplace in
the Republican speeches Of the cam
paign of 1895. that Mr.. BRYAN appealed
to thriftlessness against thrift; that he
tried to set the restless and the shiftless
against the industrious and the prosper
GUS. His canvass was an appeal to the
basest element in the community.
Some of the extraordinary persons in
charge of the Democratic campaign
have deliberately committed forgery
or uttered a forged paper. They have
taken a commonplace which hundreds
of Republican speakers repeated, and
made it apply to "the farmers.
The height of the forgery season comes
in October. The Democratic master
minds have begun early. Can they keer
up the pace until election day?

A Convincing Defence of Our Philip.
pine Policy.

1t is well known that many, if not the
majority, Of fair minded and clear
sighted Democrats were dissatisfied with
the reference in Judge PARKER's speech
of acceptance to the policy thus far pur-
sued in the Philippines by the United
States. They were dissatisfied, not be-
cause the Democratic nominee failed to
advocate the fixing Of any definite date
when absolute independence should be
conceded TO the Filipinos-an omission
that might be corrected in the forth
coming letter of acceptanoe-but be-
cause the grounds assigned for the re-
nounoement Of the islands at any time
whatever were not such as will bear
close scrutiny.
The most plausible objection to the
retention Of the Philippines is this, that
while some outlay on their behalf might
have been defended, they have cost, and
are costing US, more than they are worth.
We originally paid for the islands only
twenty million dollars, a sum that might
have been considered not an extravagant
price for two or three naval stations, in
view of the bearing of such opportuni-
ties for coaling and repair on the eff
Clancy OF our sea power. The mainte-
nance OF law and order, however, in the
insular territories gained in the Far
East has already required the expen-
6iture of many hundreds Of millions of
dollars, for which il will hardly be as
serted that any direct pecuniary equiva-
lent is In sight.
Judge TAFT was not called upon to
reply in his speech at Montpelier to the
objection on the score of economy TO
the Philippine policy thus far pursued
by our Government, because no stress
has been laid upon it by spokesmen
Of the Democratic party. Democratio
leaders have confined themselves for the
most part 10 arraigning our retention of
the Philippines on the ground that it
violates the fundamental principle which
was formulated in the Declaration of
Independence, and on which our politi-
cal institutions ara alleged to have been
founded, the principle, namely, that all
governments, in order to be just, must
be based on the consent Of the governed
That is the position taken by Judge
PARKER, by ex-Secretary OINEY, by Mr..
JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS and by almost
every conspicuous Democrat who has

"Keep Your Lantern by You"

The words were somewhat sharply gpo-
ken by the conductor Of an evening train.
Keep your lantern by you. If anything
should happen, you may be at one end of
the car and your lantern at the other"
The brakeman was a new hand, who had
just come on duty. The conductor met
him at the rear end of the last car, and
the above words were spoken. We glanced
forward as the brakeman passed toward
the front end; there, to our surprise, we
saw his lantern hung up in a corner.
While he was taking it down and sus-
pending it from his arm, instead of from
the hook in the corner, we began to think.
We thought of others besides inexperienced
brakemen who sometimes put their lamps
where they would be Of little use in an
emergency.
There are people who make a profession
of religion who seem like shining lights in
the church, but who do not take their re-
ligion with them in their daily life. TheJ
leave the lantern hung up somewhere
where it can do them little good in a spe.
cial hour. There are young people who go
to places where where they cannot take
their religion with them. And then, how
shall they he prepared to help others who
are in danger? How shall they give4them,
light to guide them or help them out OF
trouble, # their light is away in some
other place when the emergency arises?
Eye are the light Of the world" Jesus
said to His disciples, but they who are to
give light to the world must bear their
light about with them. "Let your light SO
shine before Me-" again said the Saviour,
chat they, seeing your good works, may
glorify your Father, which is in heaven"
Do not forget that if we neglect to let
our lights shine brightly they are in danger
of being put out entirely, and other light
bearers put into our places.--Northern Ad.
