Cleveland. wants 1t held in the city. The

gument is like this: If New York state Is

Tammany is the source of the democratic
hope. Tammany, then, should be permit
ted to dominate the situation. Consult
Tammany both as to the candidate and the
personnel of the delegation to St. Louis and
all will be well. Ignore Tammany, and de-
pend on the upstate democrats and de-
feat is inevitable. Mr.. Hill wants instruc-
lions for Parker Mr. Murphy doesn't ask
for instructions for Cleveland, but his con-
troll of the delegation would be tantamount
to that. Place your money, gentlemen. Inc

voters
who is your preference for the nomi-
nation?"
II do not care to express any prefer
ence. hope the democratic party will put
UP some good, sound man. 1 will be glad
to support him.
What MIR. Hill feels particularly certain
of is that If Mr.. Cleveland had been in the
White House the Northern Merger would
not have been attacked. His mind slips
back to those easy years between March 4,
1893, and March A. 1897, when the antitrust
law was of no more terror to the trusts
than if 1t had not been in existence. He
would be glad to see that glorious time
come again, when, with Mr.. Cleveland in
the White House, and some able corpora
ton lawyer in the Department of Justice,
he and his railroad friends could riot in
running lines together, and put the whole
country under tribute for freight rates to
suit the purposes of the combination. Mr..
Hill is not in the railroad business for his
health. and to man of his resources and
enterprise a law against monopoly is a
hamper and a nuisance.
Nominations are often manipulated
says Mr. Hill. Sometimes, and sometimes
they are not A conspicuous failure has
just been recorded Mr.. Hill and his
friends undertook to manipulate the nomi-
nation of the republican presidential candi-
date. MIR. Roosevelt having incurred their
displeasure, they set out to defeat him in
his own party. They made overtures to Mr.
Hanna. They sought to have 1t appear that
there existed profound dissatisfaction with
the President within the republican ranks.
They failed ANONYMOUSLY. The President
who already had practically a clear field,
grew stronger from the very day that the
trusts game was discovered and Mr..
Hanna's last request was for the appoint
ment of Roosevelt delegates from Ohio.
Now, as we see. Mr.. Hill is trying his
hand on the other side. He blossoms out as
a Cleveland boomer. The Sage of Princeton
is the man for his money, and he fancies
that the whole country wants him. VIII
this work? OF course Mr.. Hill says that he
has no candidate-only wants some good
sound man"-but that is merely his little
joke. He is for Mr.. Cleveland, first, last
and all the time. This Is palmer than

Landscape Advertising.

The associated billposters of the United

the practice of painting signs upon rocks
and other natural objects in picturesque
landscapes, although they seem to offer no
objection to putting "A boarding for posters
and paintings in front of the natural object.
The distinction is a fine one, but it means
some gain Several railroads have prohibit
ed the erection of billboards on their own
property, and although this scarcely dis
turbs the advertiser, who can still use the
private property on either side of the right
of way, ii shuts out one possible extension
of the abuse that has tremendous possible
ties. In al least one case, also, great rail-
road company has taken to planting quickly
growing trees at such places to hide the
boardings erected on adjacent land. The
Boston and Albany road has gained a like
end in the suburbs of Boston by planting
screens of shrubs a hedge at the top of

the popular feeling. to exert its influence as
far as it can, upon the adjacent property

America and Russia.

Count Cassini continues 90 be concerned
about public sentiment in the United
states toward Russia. He attributes it
and very justly--to the American press.
He admits that the Russian press is some
what at fault, but insists that the provo
cation came from this side. This is the
way he puts 1t:
The tone of Russian newspapers. a con-
sequence of the tone of many American
newspapers, is beginning to take a very
painful direction in their references to the
nited States- and, in my opinion it is in
the interests of both countries that some
measures shall be taken to check this be-
fore 1t IS too late
The press in Russia Is easily managed
Whenever the government sees red the
press sees red. Much or little is printed
as the government directs. But it is very
different in the United States. The press
here is free. 1t secures, prints and COM
ments on the news according to it's own
enterprise and lights. 1t is responsible
only to the law of the land. 1t is not pos
Slpie. therefore, to take any measures"
designed ito check the American press on
'hiS most important subject. The COM
ment that Count Cass!ni complains of finds

fixed.
Inc RUSSIAN ambassador seeks to excuse
ms country for breaking its promise about

bic 1t would have been against Russias
interests. He then asks, with engaging
halVete, why there should be so much
pother about the matter when 1.-The govern
ment of Russia has given to all the powers

rights will be protected and safeguarded

Ihat is to say, on the heels of breaking

other. and is greatly surprised and dis
tressed because she is not believed. No
body believed her. The United States was
not alone in the incredulty expressed in
this country. The general verdict was that,
in spite of her professions and promises
Russia was in Manchuria to stay and that
Russia in ManchUria meant the closed door
to other powers in that portion of China, as
well as further encroachment on the terri
tory of the flowery kingdom.
Public sentiment in the United States on
this subject rests upon the record which
Russia has made. 1t is no answer to say
that Russia was serving her own ends in
Manchuria. That is conceded. The trouble
is that Russias ends there were prejudical
to everybody else's ends, China's included,
and that she broke faith with the world in
pursuing them

call for even more room than the original
allotment of space contemplated. For it
would have had at least five years of
growth. 1t is not to be expected for mo-
| ment that the new structure would be COM
pleted within that period after the final
passage of the authorizing act. Indeed
five years is a very conservative estimate.
The Department of Commerce, composed
of various bureaus assembled from other
jurisdictions, is really only in the formative
stage. 1t has not yet begun to grow. In
the course of half dozen years it will
have started out along the usual course of
such government establishments. finding
new fields of usefulness, feeling new de-
mands. needing new facilities and addition
al aids. 1t is not to be believed that it will

cided belief not only that the departments
named should be housed separately, but
that they should be placed within the Mall

SO insistent in some quarters is the cry
that the government begin the work of
digging the Panama canal "at once that
some disappointment is likely to be felt

Apart from the necessity to procure the

been done in the course eli the various ex-
aminations of the property by preceding
commissions. But the necessities of the

built are greater than those which existed
when the government was simply surveying
the ground TO determine the best site. The
engineers have their theories, of course
ana these must be weighed in terms of ac-
tual project, with the knowledge that a
false start may cost many millions and
delay the work seriously, besides perhaps
cudangering human lives.
The most serious preliminary question be-
