PERSONAL.

Oscar Hammerstein composer and
vaudeville manager, knows the New
York journalistic following pretty we'll.
Asked by a friend whom a certain par
ty was who saluted him one evening,
Mr.. Hammerstein responded: "Oh, he's
a dramatic critic" What does he
write for?" Mostly for free seats"
was the reply.
The present campaign seems to be
a case of when Dutch meets Dutch"
as both Roosevelt and Parker trace
their ancestry back to the Netherlands.
The Esopus jurist is a little more than
half Dutch. His mother was a Schoon-
maker, an old family of Ulster county,
New York. The President is descended
from one of the oldest and most useful
Dutch families of New York city.
Some curious insurance is taken
out by professionals. Kubelik, the vi
olinist, pays a yearly accident premium
of $1,000 on his bow hand alone on a
$4,000 policy. If totally disabled he
would receive $4,000. Paderewski, the
pianist, pays $4,000 year on a $4,000
policy on his fingers. Joseph Hoffman
also has his fingers heavily insured.
Not long ago the young pianist hurt
his hands in a bicycle tumble and re-
covered a check for a large sum from
an accident company in Europe.

What Brought n Relief.

A popular Washington youth re-
NAMED out a great deal later than
usual a few nights ago, and for OBJ
vious reasons thought it wise to re-
move his shoes in the vestibule of his
home and ascend the stairway as
quietly as possible. in the hope of not
arousing his parents, says the Wash
ington Star. 1t was an old, old
scheme. of course, but he thought it
would work.
All went well until the son of the
house was a little above the second
story landing. Then he was startled
to hear the voice of his father thunder:
rs that you Walter?"
No answer. Walter thought his sire
might conclude that he had not heard
anything after all. so remained quiet
as a mouse, but again came the
demand, more emphatic than be-
fore:
rs that you, Walter?"
Still no answer. There was a pause
and then the significant and startling
click of a. revolver. Again, in calm,
but determined tone:
rs that you, Walter?"
Yes, SIR" Walter hurriedly
shouted, his teeth chattering with
fright. He has decided to walk up
stairs boldly and loudly on all occa-
sions hereafter.

THE STATE Roam question.

We are glad TO see that, in accord
ance with a suggestion we made sew
eral days ago, a resolution has been in
PRODUCED into the Legislature for the
purpose of finding out what, in the
opinion of railway experts, is the best
policy for the state to pursue in re-
spect to its railroad property. The
Western and Atlantic is a valuable
railroad now, and yields a good in
come, but will it continue to do so If
IL remains a possession of the state?
That is a question the Legislature
ought to have answered.
If the prospect is that the road will
be paralleled and its value greatly in
jured if the state continues to hold 1t,
then there ought TO be no hesitation in
disposing of it now when a good price
can be obtained for it. But there
shouldn't be hasty action in the matter.
1t doesn't follow that the road is
going to be paralleled in a way that
will injure it simply because there have
been reports in circulation that one of
the great railroad systems is surveying
a line between Atlanta and Chatta-
nooga.
If it should be decided to sell the
road the payments should be made ia
come due at the times that the bonds
OF the state come due, so that the
states obligations would be wiped out
when the road was paid for. OF course
the road would sell now for a great deal
more than the amount OF the states
debt. but that wouldn't prevent. in case
of sale. making the payments depend
upon the dates Of maturity of the
states obligations.
The Legislature acted wisely in re-
| fusing 20 consider favorably the bill Ia
extend the state road to the sea. The
extension couldn't be made to pay un-

TAGGART FOR CHAIRMAN.

Nobody seems to want the chairman
ship of the Democratic National Com
mittee except Mr.. Thomas Taggart of
Indianapolis, and it looks as if he
would get it, Mr.. Taggart is the In
diana member of the National Com
mittee, and has represented that state
on the committee since 1892 He is
credited with having had an ambition
to be its chairman for a long time.
AS a politician he has much more
than ordinary ability, though his polit-
ical work has been confined to local
and state politics. While he has been
prominent in Indiana politics for a
good many years the attention of the
leaders of the Democratic party was
particularly directed to him by his sue
cess in having the Indiana delegation
to the st. Louis convention instructed
for Parker. Mr.. Hearst made a great
effort to get that delegation, and he
was supposed to have the assistance
of Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Taggart 1t is believed, would
have been named as chairman of the
National Committee if the committee
had held a meeting in st. Louis, i'm
mediately after the adjournment of
the National Convention. He is popu-
lar with the committee, and besides,
there is a feeling that the chairman
ship ought to go to the West The chief
arguments urged against Mr.. Taggart
are that he has very little acquaintance
among those who are expected to pro-
vide the campaign fund and his unfa-
miliarity with national politics. It has
been urged, and probably is being urged
yet, that the contributions to that fund
would be very much greater if Senator
German, Mr.. Belmont, or Mr. Shee-
han were the manager of the campaign
However, neither of the foregoing gem
tlemen want the place. Senator Cor
man has nothing to gain by taking it,
Mr.. Sheehan hasn't sufficient health to
permit him to take it and Mr.. Belmont
says he doesn't want it, The list of
those whose names have been mention
ed in connection with the place being
thus exhausted. it is highly proba BILE
that Mr.. Taggart will be successful in
his efforts to get it.
1t may be true that he will not be
able to collect as large campaign
contributions as Mr.. Cortelyou will,
but he will make up in energy and
strategy what he lacks in that respect.
There is much to be said in his behalf.
If he is put in charge of the campaign
the West generally will be pleased
and Indiana Democrats will make
greater efforts to carry their state.
Mr. Taggart is in the prime of life,
being about As years of age, and he is
full of ambition to make a name for
himself as a great political manager. If
he is lacking in the qualities necessary
to collect campaign funds he will have
assistance no doubt in that branch
of his work. Perhaps, after all, he
would be a better selection than either
German, Sheehan or Belmont. Besides,
any one of those gentlemen would give
him whatever assistance he could.

MISS M,CANN,s 1 900 oFFERs.

The General Slocum horror in New
York harbor some weeks ago develop
ed a number of heroes and heroines
Easily first among the latter was
Miss Mary Mccain, who, although she
had been only a few DAYS out of a
hospital, saved six persons from
drowning after they had jumped from
the burning steamer. In addition to
this, she devoted herself to aiding the
injured. never thinking of herself I'M
til she was compelled by exhaustion
to take a rest. Naturally, and very
deservedly, Miss Mccain received a
lot of praise from the newspapers and
the authorities. Her picture appeared
in the papers, along with detailed de-
scriptions of her splendid deeds.
II would seem that a person, espec-
tally a woman, who had rendered such
signal service to her fellow creatures
should be immune from annoyance. But
the notoriety that has come to the
young woman has almost made life a
burden to her. For weeks the mails
have been laden with letters TO her
processing marriage. She says sine has
received not less than 1000 OF them.
and they are still coming, from every
state I'm the union. Moreover. sttaree
men are seeking introductions to hnr.
with the purpose in view OF winning
her hand in marriage. Miss Mccain
declares the annoyance is wearing on
her nerves. though she is not a nervous
person, and that she supposes she will
have to refuse to receive mail and so

THE ISSUE or THE CAMPAIGN.

The candidates have not yet been
| officially notified of the action of the
conventions of their respective parties
and the Democratic National Commit
tee has not yet selected its chairman.
but the paramount issue of the cam
paign has been as clearly indicated as
it win be a month hence. There will.
of course. be a great deal of talk about
the declarations made in the plat
forms, but the question that will COM
mand the attention of the people is
this: Is Mr.. Roosevelt the kind of a
man they want in the White House
That this question is going to be the
real issue of the campaign there is no
longer any room for doubt.
Mr.. Roosevelt isn't popular with the
leaders of his party. and why? It is
because he attempts to dominate them
in way that is displeasing to them.
He has a certain popularity with the
people for reasons not necessary now to
state. but if they were brought into
closer touch with him they would feel
towards him just about as the Repub-
lican leaders do.
or course there has never been any
question of Mr.. Roosevelt's integrity,
and that he is patriotic and anxious for
the welfare of the country there is no
doubt, but he doesn't seem to under
stand what the limitations of his Of
flee are. He acts as if he felt he were
dict = tnv-fhaf ha hos 10 rionf
make, and administer as we'll as ex-
eeute the laws. He creates the impress
sion that he would like to play the part
of an emperor. and doubtless he occu-
pies spare moments in thinking what
he would do if his Office were for life
and his powers were practically I'M
limited.
The great independent vote, the 81
lent conservative vote will be against
Mr.. Roosevelt because there is wide
spread distrust of him. Business men
In all parts of the country are afraid
he will do something that will bring
about business depression, and even
disaster. Some of the things he has
done warn them that he is capable of
doing other things from which more
harm might come. especially If he felt
he were President by the votes of the
people. His action in putting thou
sands of Civil War veterans on the pen
sion roll by a stroke of his pen alarmed
them.
In Judge Parker the people see a
man just the opposite of Mr.. Roose-
Welt in most particulars, man who, if
chosen President. will have a strict
regard for the constitution and the
laws, and who will give the country an
administration along conservative lines.
At the same time he will be President
in every sense of the word He will
not be dominated by the politicians of
his party. The proof that he will not
is found in his famous gold standard
telegram to the St. Louis convention
With him as President there wouldn't
be a feeling of apprehension all the
time that the head of the government
would likely do something that would
unsettle business and values or involve
the country in a foreign war.
Within a short time the campaign
will be begun in earnest, and from
present indications it will be conduct
ed along the lines indicated. The
characteristics of the candidates will
command far more attention than the
platform declarations.

There were to fight at twelve PAGES,
each to fire one shot. Lots were
