THE MURPHY-M'CARREN FIGHT.

Mr.. Roosevelt's friends in New York
are commenting on the fight going on
in that city and Brooklyn between Mr.
Murphy, the Tammany leader, and
Mr.. McCarren, the leader of the Brook
lyn Democracy, in a way that shows
they think it is an indication of his
luck. 1t is well known of course that
they don't want the Democratic party
in New York state to be united and
harmonious. for a united Democracy
means the loss of the state by their
party. Mr.. Roosevelt and his friends
therefore are rejoicing at the prospect
that the breach between the Demo-
cratic factions will continue to grow
wider as the campaign progresses.
Mr.. Murphy is determined that he
will punish Mr.. McCarren for daring
to take sides with Mr.. Hill against
him, and Mr.. McCarren is determined
he will not be punished. Through the
Mayor, Mr.. Mcclellan, Mr.. Murphy is
having the friends of Mr.. McCarren
removed from office, and Mr.. McCar-
rem. though Mr.. Grout, the controller,
is having Tammany men removed. Mr.
Grout is a Tammany man. and was
nominated by Tammany for the office
he now holds. but for standing up for
Mr.. McCarren in the latters fight with
Mr.. Murphy, the Hill-McCarren fac
ton has promised him the nomination
for Governor.
1t isn't at all strange that Murphy
and McCarren should be scrapping, but
il is strange that the Mayor and the
controller of New York city should
permit the offices to be used by Muir
ply and McCarren in their fight. The
offices belong to the people and they
should be filled with capable and eff
cient men. And good men shouldn't
be turned out of them simply to graft
fy Murphy and McCarren.
1t is hardly probably that the fight
will be continued until the election,
but, if it should it is doubtful if it
would cause the Democratic nominee
for President to lose many votes. Still,
it is an unfortunate fight, and may
have much more damaging effect on
the chances of the Democracy carrying
New York state than is now apparent.
The Democratic newspapers of New
York are complaining that when the
Democratic party seems to have a good
chance for winning an election the
Democratic leaders of that state can be
depended upon to get into a squabble
that threatens to destroy that chance
That isn't at all complimentary to the
leaders in question, and ought to be
sufficient to cause them to adjust their
difference and get to work for Demo-
cratic success.

PInnfinr a Tree.

What does he who plants a tree?
He plants friend of sun and sky;
He plants the flag of breezes free;
The shaft of beauty towering high !;
He plants a home to heaven anigh
For song and mother-croon of bird.
In hushed and happy twilight heard
The treble of heavens harmony
These things he plants who plants a
tree.
What does he who plants a tree?
He plants cool shade and tender rain,
And seed and bud of days to be,
And years that fade and flush again:
He plants the glory of the plain;
He plants the forests heritage:
The harvest of the coming age;
The Joy that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants who plants a
tree.
What does he who plants a tree?
He plants, in sap and leaves and
wood.
In love of home and loyalty.
And far-cast thought Of civil good
His blessing on the neighborhood,
Who in the hollow Of His hand
Holds ali the growth of all our land
A nations growth from sea to sea
Stirs In his heart who plants a tree.

For years and years the people of
BIakeslee, Pa, titled the soil and en-
gagged in trade. with only the ordinary
recompense for their labors. They were
poor people, in the common acceptance
of the term. Meanwhile they were I'M
godly in that they engaged in the past
times and indulgences common to other
semi-rural communities. But some
weeks ago Blakeslee experienced a
mighty religious revival. Practically
everybody in the community became
converted and embraced religion. And
shortly thereafter a rich deposit of coal
was discovered underlying the village
and the surrounding farms. While the
Blakesleeites were an ungodly lot a coal
deposit was never dreamed Of but as
soon as they got religion along came
the discovery to make them all rich
The Blakeslee people are sure that their
good fortune is the reward for their
reformation.

Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A Miles is about
to come into possession of the farm on
which he was born. 1t is a place of
seventy acres located near Westmin-
ster, Mass. Across the road from the
farm is a brick house which the gem
erals father built. Not far away is
the hill where the general as a boy
took his first lessons in Indian fight
ing, his playmates acting as red
skins.
Mrs. Tom Thumb (the Countess
MagrD and some two score other mid
gets have arrived in New York from
Europe, having been brought to this
country by an enterprising Snowman
who will establish a colony of lilipu-
tians at Coney Island. With them
comes giant. who is eight feet three
inches tall. The midgets will give
operas, dramas and other perform
ances. They come from Buda- Pesth.
where there is a colony of dwrafs.

Shippers of coastwise craft report
that the Gulf Stream is running north
ward at much accelerated speed, to
account for which they are at loss.
Incoming steamers that have to face
the stream are all delayed, while other
steamers, from the south travelling
north with the stream, are arriving in
port considerably ahead of time. Skip
pers out of Brunswick and New Or
leans bound north report that the
stream is running like a millrace, while
those crossing to New York from
Great Britain report exceptionally
slow passages. The theory that is ad-
vanced to explain the phenomenon is
that storms in the region of the south
east trade winds have piled up the
seas behind the Bahamas, forcing the
water out through the Straits of Flor
ida into the Gulf Stream.

Mr.. Bryan had no more earnest and
eloquent supporter in 1896 and 1900
that Senator Daniel of Virginia. There
can be no questioning of the Democ-
racy OF the astute and distinguished
Virginian. And yet Senator Daniel is
on record as saying: THE Democratic
platform should treat of the things we
have TO deal with now, not the things
that have been settled and that have
no relation with present conditions"
That puts silver out of consideration,
ir Senator Daniels opinion. He thinks
the tariff will be a leading issue.

The beef trusts explanation as to
why prices are higher is to the effect
that the American public will not be
content with the poorer cuts; that con-
sumers demand tenderloin steaks. of
which there are only limited number
to each beef carcass. The best cuts. it
is said. are eagerly taken, while the
poor cuts are left hanging on the hooks
in the butcher shops. Thus the profits
OF the retailers. who must buy the
whole carcass, are reduced. That be-
ing true, it seems to be the duty of our
agricultural department to devise and
produce beef cattle that will have no
cuts upon them besides tenderloin and
porterhouse. Why should there be
chuck" and neck" and 'brisket' when
nobody wants them?

The official announcement has been
made that Great Britain is at war
with Tibet and that until she has by
force of arms INDICATED her position"
the government cannot be expected to
give an indication of what form of
settlement may follow the conclusion
of hostilities. OF course it was all the
fault of Tibet that the state of war
was brought about. The British army
in Tibet was on an entirely peaceful
mission. The Tibetans warned the
peaceful army away and then opposed
its advance by violence. This, of course
was on Tibetan soil. But the mere
fact that Tibetan soldiers opposed with
force the advance of the British army
of peace constituted an act of war
against Great Britain; and now Great
Britain cannot stop until Tibet shall
have been conquered. That, by the
way, is the usual manner in which
Great Britain has proceeded in Africa
and Asia. First she gets her honor
wounded, and then she goes ahead to
avenge her honor until she has Sc
cured valuable trade concessions.

Many rich New Workers are taking
passage for Europe, on short notice.
One of them day or two ago declared
that he had been "expatriated" by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome's new 'uncon-
stitutional law" The law in question
is that which forces the testimony of
persons who have played gambling
games in New York gambling houses.
This man declared the law to be IAN
outrage upon all business men of the
city," in that it 'interferes with their
personal rights and freedom" In his
opinion man has a perfect right to
gamble and lose his money if he wants
to do so.

For ten years it has been something
of a joke on George w. Vanderbilt
that his magnificent Biltmore estate, in
North Carolina, was marred by little
strip of six acres. sticking like a wedge
into his property, that he could not
buy. The little wedge was owned by
a negro of the name of Collins, who
had tumble-down shack on it, sit
uated just where it was plainly in view
from Mr.. Vanderbilts front door. The
millionaire offered Collins $65,0O0 for
his little patch, but the negro refused
to sell. 1t is understood that outsid-
ers advised Collins that he could get
much more. At all events, it seems that
after so many years Mr.. Vanderbilt
has agreed to give Collins his price,
which is alleged to amount to a big
fortune for the old negro.

The serious Republican disaffection
i'm Wisconsin gives the Democratic par
ty an excellent opportunity to do some
effective work in that state. LaFol-

publican party was much less torn by
dissension than it is at present. With

The Republican National Convention
is less than a month away. 1t will
convene in Chicago on June 90 It's
work, by the way, is so much in the
nature of a cut-and dried affair that
nobody is taking a great deal of in
terest in the convention itself. Every
body knows beforehand precisely what
will be done; and one can come pref
ty near to foretelling what will be
said. With the Democratic COnven-
ton, to meet in ST. Louis, on July s,
matters are considerably different. 1t
will be no machine meeting. The
voice of the people will be heard in
st. Louis, as the voice of the politi-
clans will be heard at Chicago 1t is
impossible to forecast with any as
surance of accuracy just what the st.
Louis Convention will do. further than
that it will make a ticket and plat
form that will command the support of
a united Democracy.

Washington dispatches inform us
that Ex-Gov. w. Murray Crane, of
Massachusetts, is slated to succeed
George B. Corteiyou as Secretary of
Commerce and Labor. We wish this
man Crane could be permanently fix
ed, somewhere, in the administration.
He has been mentioned in connection
with every place in the cabinet ex-
cept that of Attorney General. and he
may be nominated for that place next
week 1t seems that Mr.. Roosevelt
thinks Crane is one of the greatest
men that ever came over the political
pike, and is anxious to have him
identified with his administration.
Meanwhile the people of his own state
do not think quite so we'll of him,
since he is an EEK" i'm politics But
If we must have Crane, let's have him
at once, so that we may swallow him
and be done with 1t. The country will
not be able to see a great deal Of diff
ference between Crane and crow.
