PoLITENEss IN POLITICS.

The announcement is sent out, as a
sort Of feeler, that Col Roosevelt ia
vors George B. Cortelyou, secretary of
the department of commerce, for
chairman of the Republican national
committee. And if the shades of the
departed are permitted to hover about
the scenes of their earthly activities
Marcus A. Hanna is due to weep spirit
tears presently.
Mr.. Cortelyou is one Of the most
gentlemanly young men now before the
public. He is quite out Of place among
the coarse rough men who make bus
mess of politics. He discovered this
early in his public career. He
came to an early realization of the fact
that he would never be able to stay
the limit if he went into the game
under the rules that permit the win
ming politician to kick the other fellow
in the ribs when he is down, and he
made plan to dodge the regulations
of the political arena. He insisted OH
the correctness of the axiom that a
soft answer turneth away wrath-and
he has done fairly well.
When he was the manager Of
the White house there was such
an air Of thorough good breed
ing about the place that it was
avoided by burly persons who had
nothing to recommend them except the
capacity to run state machines. He SO
arranged the affairs of his chief that
when it was necessary to do sorrctillng
that did not quite comport with the
rules Of etiquette in order to impress
the mob with the extreme liberality Of
the views Of the executive it was per-
mitted that the unkempt and impolite
representatives of that disgustingly
plebeian institution, the press, might be
in the neighborhood The expression
IF you please" appealed to him quite
as forcibly as it did to that other not
able champion of the polite, Sir Joseph
Poraer, K. c. B. Like Sir Joseph. he
had risen by intense application and
unvarying politeness. 1t does not ap-
pear that he ever polished up the ham
die of the big front door, but we may
be sure that, if that lowly duty had
confronted him, he would have added
some luster to the knob He bowed
his way through the kitchen cabinet
into the real thing. And now he is
going to succeed Senator Hanna in the
leadership of the Republican party!
We have no complaint to make. but
when the Republican national COM
nittee first gets together under the
craftsmanship of the Hon. George B.
Cortelyou and the lady fingers are
passed with the ice cream soda we are
going to give thanks that the Demoe-
racy has again been taken under the
protecting wing of Providence.

EIGHT BISHOPS
WILL BE ELECTED
Methodist Conference Decides
1t Has No Authority to Dis
trict The EpiscopaCy.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 17.-Ac-
ton on two important matters was
taken by the general conference Of the
Methodist church at today's session.
The report of the committee on epis-
copacy recommending that the confer
ence elect eight bishops to fill the va
cancies caused by death, resignation
and retirement during the present
quadrennium, was adopted.
At the close of a heated debate be-
tween DR.. James r. Buckley and Dr..
Thomas B. Nicely, the two foremost
parliamentarians of the Methodist
church, the conference adopted the re-
port of the special judiciary commit
tee, which finds that the conference has
no executive authority to district the
episcopacy-that is to substitute a do
cesar for the present itinerant form Of
the residency and administration of
bishops.
The first official announcement Of the
vote by which on last Saturday the
conference Superannuated Bishops An
drews, Mallalieu, Vincent, Foss and
Walden was made to the conference
in the reading of the minutes at the
opening of the session, as follows: An
dreWS, for retirement 5S5, against rs;
FOss, for retirement 500, against 1853;
Vincent, for retirement 585, against rs;
Mallalieu, for retirement SIS, against
90
The election Of the eight bishops will
begin tomorrow morning, and it is eX-
pected to occupy considerable time ac-
cOrding to the number of ballots cast,
before a final result is reached. Under
the rules of the conference there are no
nominations, the delegates being al
lowd to vote for whOmsOever they wish.
But they must vote for the full number
of bishops to be elected.
The feature of today's session was
debate between DR.. Buckley and Dr.
Nicely upon a substitute offered by the
latter for the judiciary committee re
port of the constitutionality of the re
districting of bishops.

WHERE WE CAN WIN.

The commonest query put to one who
national election this year as a prac-
tical possibility is, Where are the nee
essary votes outside of the Southern
states to be obtained?" 1t is conceded
that the South will support any repu-
table candidate. 1t is admitted that
Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia
will all be safe if some extreme radi-
cal is not named. 1t is agreed that
New York and New Jersey certainly,
and Connecticut possibly, can be cap
tured 10y consulting the pre- Tences OF
Eastern people with reference to a
candidate. This combination, how
ever is not strong enough. Where are
we to get the additional votes?
1t is probably idle to look to the old
sources. Indiana was long ago the
pivotal state but it would be unsafe
to rely upon it now. Doubtless De-
mocracy can carry it. We think thar
* AOctoA OAiG lGIiiOCicl can DG I1dInRQ
who would carry it over any opposi-
ton. Nevertheless, it is idle to deny
that the situation in Indiana has
changed greatly of late years Since
1896 there has been a steady drift to-
ward Republicanism in the state at
large, and it will be harder work than
ever before to carry it for the Demo-
cratic ticket.
We have, then, to look for new fields
of combat if we wish to achieve sue
cess. Where shall other doubtful,
states be found? Where can we hone
to add enough to the electoral votes of
the South, of New York, New JERSEY
and Connecticut to obtain a majority /?
While there are many possibilities that
would work out to the same end. we
think that the real opportunities Of
Democracy viii be found in two states
particularly. Wisconsin and Massa
chusetts can be carried this year by
the right Democrat on the right plat
form
OF Wisconsin it is necessary to saw
no more than Republicans over there
are themselves saying. Their fractional
fight has proceeded too far to be heal
ed. No compromise is possible, and
either faction will support the opposi-
ton or run a campaign of its own
rather than permit the other to sue
coed. 1t should not be forgotten tina,
in 1892 Wisconsin was carried by
Cleveland by an enormous majority.
Wisconsin can be carried this year
with comparatively little effort by a
candidate who will appeal to the con-
servatism of the great mass of voters
whom Republican squabbling has re-
PEELED.
Massachusetts can be carried this
year by the same kind of Democratic
candidate. 1t should be really a doubt
full state in all elections today. Il
would be. had the Democrats there nIav-
ed their cards well and appealed to the
strong dissent from Republican doc
trine. The time is ripe now for such
policy. Massachusetts is stirred
throughout by the issue Of reciprocity
with Canada. The people are prac-
tically unit for it. The Republican
convention contained a strong major
ity in favor of declaring for reciprocity
and was on the point of passing an
propriate resolutions when Senator
Lodge went upon the platform, speak
ing for the tariff trust that owns the
party now, and compelled the conven-
ton to sidetraek its own convictions
