A PLACE FOR SENATOR COCKRELL


Senator Cockrell of Missouri, whose
state elected a Republican Legislature
at the recent election, and who,
therefore, stands no chance of being
reelected, has good friend in the
President. 1t is the purpose of the
President to offer him a place under
the government, and there is no doubt
that he will accept it. At the close of
his career in the Senate on March
next, he will have served in that
body thirty years continuously, and
very useful Senator he is. 1t is
doubtful if he has competency, and
it is certain that he has made no
money out of his position. Instead of
looking out for opportunities to fill
his pockets he has given all of his
time to the duties of his position.
There is no doubt that if the people
of Missouri had thought for a moment
that there was a probability of his de-
feat for reelection many of them
would have voted differently. The
fact is, however, that there was a de-
termination to get rid of ring that
was believed to have control of legis-
lation, and, hence, the change in the
political complexion of the Legisla-
ture.
1t is stated that the President has
offered Senator CockreI the position
just made vacant by the resignation
of Mr.. Hecker, as one of the Panama
canal commissioners. The salary at
tached to the place is large. but it's
duties may require him to spend
much of his time on the Isthmus of
Panama. He is now more than 20
years old, and. though in excellent
health, owing to the simple life he has
lived he may think that at his age he
wouldn't be able to withstand the
climate of the isthmus.
If he doesn't chose to accept that
place the President will give him
something else, because he admires
the man and knows he can be depend
ed upon to serve the people faithfully
and conscientiously. The fact that he
is a Democrat will not affect his
chances in the least for being well
provided for. Besides having very
high regard for the Senator, it is not
improbable that the President would
like to show the people Of the South
that in his acts he isn't guided alto
gether by political considerations.
Missouri, while more of a Western
than Southern state, is classed as
Southern.

Representative Fitzgerald of Boston
has a story of an Irish couple in that
city who, despite a comparatively
happy married life, were wont to
have violent misunderstands, says
Harper's Weekly. Nevertheless, the
pair were devoted to each other, and
when the husband died not long ago
the widow was inconsolable.
Shortly after the funeral a friend
who had dropped in to see how Mrs.
Milligan was getting on, chanced to
remark:
well, there's one blessing, Maggie,
for they do say that poor Mike died
happy"

Dispatches from Rome apparently In
dictate that the Marquise des Montiers-
Merinville (formerly Miss Caldwell Of
Washington, founder of the Catholic
College at Washington. did not re-
nounce her adhesion to the Church OF
Rome so much because of belated tri-
umph of her Protestant blood" as be-
cause she was not treated with the So
cial distinction that she imagined
ought to have been hers OF right. In
the household Of the late Pope, Leo X,
she was always welcome, but appa-
rently the new Pope did not know her
as well as did his predecessor: there
fore on occasions she was obliged to see
other women take precedence OF her at
certain functions. This was distasteful
TO her, and finally reached the point at
which she resolved to revolt. OF course
that may not be apparent on the face
Of things but that is what the Rome
story indicates.

monkeys and several other animals, as
a present from Emperor Menelik Of
Abyssinia to President Roosevelt.
There is a law on the statute books
prohibiting the President of the United
States from receiving presents from
foreign princes, kings or potentates,
hence 1t is not possible for Col. Roose-

CURRENT COMMENT.

The election of Roosevelt does not
please the Tombstone (Ariz.) Epitaph,
(Dem. } as It frankly says, but it throws
out the hopeful suggestion that a true
Democrat has more lives than the tra-
ditional cat. About the time you i'm
agine he has relaxed in everlasting
composure, he suddenly wakes up,
claws himself together and entertains
you. He did IL when Tilden was elect
ed and counted out. He did 1t when
Cleveland surprised Mr.. Blaine, and
he will do it again"
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.)
says: "It is impossible to predict what
will be the Presidents position on
the subject, notwithstanding he has
Just written letter to the famous Con-
federate scout leader, Col. Mosby, that
he loves the South equally with the
North. In any case, the prospect is
that this troublesome question of the
reduction of Southern representation
threatens to come into serious prom
inence in the near future, and to excite
a great deal of sectional agitation and
hostility. II will be wise, while hop
ing for the best, to make up our minds

expenditure on them, including work

chase Of rolling stock, is estimated al

THE MosRY LETTER.

The letter of the President to Col.
J John S. Mosby, in which he says he
has always been saddened rather than
angered'' by the attacks made upon
him in the South. is the occasion of
a new crop of editorials in the North
ern papers on the 'Iong isolation of
the South" and similar topics. We
| have no doubt the President is sim
cere in saying that, being half South
erner himself. the interests of the South
are exactly as dear to him as the in
| terests of the North.
But because he is sincere 1t doesn't
follow that he hasn't done things that
have irritated the South. He doubt
less thinks the things he has done are
for the best interests of the South. The
South's contention is that being half
Southern, as he claims, he ought to
have known and felt that such things
were not for the South's interests.
Some of the Northern papers say
that in his treatment of matters per-
tanning to the South he has lacked tact
He has certainly lacked something that
has created the impression that he
isn't in sympathy with the Southern
people. 1t is a fact that President Nc
Kinley appointed more negroes to office
in the South than President Roosevelt
has, but he so managed that there was
never any general expression Of ILL
will to him in this section.
President Roosevelt has been ex-
tremely aggressive in doing some of the
Objectionable things he has done. He
has acted as if he thought that, being
part Southerner. he knew better what
was good for the Southern people than
they themselves knew. Naturally they
didn't take kindly to an attitude of
that kind.
The prediction is made that before
half of the term for which he has been
elected is over the South will have a
more kindly feeling for him. There
is no doubt that the South is entire
ly willing to judge him by his acts,
as to whether or not he wants to be
in closer touch with her. 1t is diff
ficult, however. for a man to change
his natural characteristics. If he has
been sincere heretofore the chances
are that he will continue to do things
that will irritate the South, and he
will do them probably thinking he is
doing the right thing. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that he is half Southerner
it may be that it is impossible for
him to get into touch with Southern
sentiment. Perhaps if he makes the
South visit he may see and hear
things that will enable him to better
understand the Southern people.

Washington is much interested in
the rumor that President Roosevelt
will invite one or more Southern men
to membership in the new cabinet,
after March 4 next. Who will be the
Southerners? 1t seems to be the COM
mon opinion that, in the event of a
vacancy on the Supreme Court bench,
Secretary Taft would be asked to fill
it; and then there would be left a va
cancy in the War Department. Gov.
Wright of the Philippines is regarded
as being in the line of promotion, so
that if Secretary Taft were removed
from the War Department it is be-
lieved that Gen. Wright would almost
certainly be requested to succeed
him. Gen. Wright is a Tennesseean
and is particularly popular in his
state. Meanwhile there is specula-
ton with respect to cabinet possibil-
tiles for other Southern Republicans;
and among them all no name is be-
ing more prominently mentioned than
that of Maj. ]. F. Hanson of Georgia
for one Of the important portfolios.
Whether Maj. Hanson could be in
duced to lay down his duties as the
head Of one Of the greatest railroad
systems of the state to take a cabinet
office is an open question, but there is
no doubt that he is of cabinet size and
that his selection by the President for
cabinet honors would be appreciated.

THE DIPLoMAT AND EDITOR.

1t is understood that Mr.. Whitelaw
Reid, editor of the New York Tribune,
will succeed Mr.. Choate as ambassa-
dor to England. That isn't because
Mr.. Choate hasn't given satisfaction,
but because Mr.. Reid is a close friend
of Mr.. John Hay, Secretary of State.
They have been friends for pretty
nearly half century.
Forty years ago or more, when Mr..
Reid was a Woodworking war corre-
spondent of the Tribune, spending
much of his time in Washington, Mr..
Hay was the Presidents private Sec
retary. They were much together, and
were of assistance to one another in
various ways. Later Mr.. Reid became
editor of the Tribune and Mr.. Hay, be-
ing out Of employment, accepted an
editorial position under him. Then Mr..
Hay went into the service of the gov
ernment again and Mr.. Reid was ap-
pointed minister to France. With the
dency Mr.. Hay forged to the front
rapidly. He became Secretary of State;
and through his influence, Mr.. Reid
was appointed to represent this coun-
try at the Queens jubilee and King
Edwards coronation. Those two ap-
pointments whetted Mr.. Reid's appe-
tite for further diplomatic honors in
England, and so his friend Mr. Hay
will see to 1t that he is made ambas-
sador to the Court of st. James. Mr..
Hay will then be the chief of his one
time newspaper chief.
Mr.. Hay and Mr.. Reid are getting
along in years, but each seems to be
pretty well qualified still to serve the
government. Mr.. Hay has made a
name as a diplomat of which he has
reason to be proud. Much that he has
done since he became Secretary of
State has had the approval of his po-
litical opponents as well as Of his own
party friends. Mr.. Reid made an ac-
ceptable minister to France, but II is
doubtful If he will succeed as well as
Mr. Choate has in interesting the Brit
ish public. He isn't lacking in ability,
but he hasn't the keen wit that char
acterizes the present ambassador.

The death OF ex-Gov. Hugh S.
Thompson Of South Carolina, recorded
in our dispatches yesterday, will be
sincerely regretted not only in his ma
tive state, but throughout the South
as well. Gov. Thompson-he will be
always recalled by the title of Gov
ernor"-was a typical, old-school
Southern gentleman and politician. In
politics he stood for all that was clean
est, purest and best. He came first
into public life along with Wade Hamp-
ton, in 1876, when the South was shak-
ing off the horrid and hated leeches Of
reconstruction. AS the first superin-
tendent of education of South Carolina,
after tl4Fe-Fssrdiical regime. Mr.. Thomp-
of the state upon high plane and thus
aid in lifting the people from the slough
of despond into which Radical and
carpet-bag rule had precipitated them.
The impetus that he then gave the pub
lie school system has never been lost.
Then as Governor of the state, as AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury of
the United States and as United States
Civil Service Commissioner, Mr..
Thompson brought to the several Of
fees a clear, honest and patriotic mind
intent upon observing and enforcing
an obedience to the law for the good
of the public service Hugh Thomp-
son was big, brainy, honest, lovable,
Christian, Southern gentleman, whose
life was an example to young men and
whose memory will be kept green by
his state as well as by every individual
who had the honor of his acquaintance.
