Roosevelt q Safe Man.

A Washington, ID. c., despatch says
that the members of the Democratic Con.
greSsional committee are considerably
exercised over speech made recently by
Charles j. BOnaparte, in Seconding the
nomination of Robert Garrett as repre-
sentative from the Second Congressional
District of Maryland. Col. Bonaparte is
a man of much influence in his state,
to give his seconding speech wide pub
licity in quarters where the members of
the Democratic committee have worked
most industriouSly TO create the impress
sion that President Roosevelt is sun
safe" Colonel Bonaparte's speech,
which is attracting much attention, is in
part as follows;
Some of our Democratic friends are
much troubled just now because they
think President Roosevelt unsafe" He
has had to deal, probably, with more
grave and delicate problems, demanding
for their solution tact, patience, self-cOn-
troll and sound judgment on his part,
than any president since the close of re-
construction; and while in many cases
he has done what many people thought
he should not do, in nearly every in
stance he has surprised and disappointed
his numerous critics by complete sue
cess. To note but few illustrations:
The pacification of the Philippines, sue
cess of self-government in Cuba, the set
summation of the Panama treaty, with
its assurance of an isthmian canal. A
man justified by the event in matters
such as these is, 1 think, ''safe" enough
for another trial; and, at all events,
those so often mistaken in their proph-
ecies of failure might show little less
assurance in calling him unsafe" In
truth, / doubt if we have ever had a
president, and i, at least, have never seen
a man more open TO suggestion, advice
or remonstrance than Theodore Roose-
welt. He cannot be cajoled, he cannot
be bullied, he cannot be bought, either
with money or anything else. If Demo
cratic editors mean that these qualities
render president unsafe" then they
are quite right to prefer another eandi-
date; and venture to add that David b.
Hill is remarkably well fitted to suggest
a candidate to suit them.
Ii may be owned that, whether Mr.
Roosevelt be "safe" or not, certain
classes of people would undoubtedly feel
in greater safety were he out of the
White House. 'Grafters" who look to
"pulr' for immunity; men, whether rich
or poor, few or many, in the North or in
the South, who trespass on the cOnstitu-
tional rights of their fellows; rebels and
conspirators in the Philippines; Moorish
brigands who kidnap our citizens; South
American adventures who would "hold
up" our canal-in short, criminals and
lawbreakers of high and low degree in
our midst, enemies of our country, both
at home and abroad, all these gentry
agree in finding him too strenuous" for
their comfort, and would sleep better |
with "safer" president at Washington. |
IL the newspapers which declare him |
"unsafe" are the mouthpieces of one or |
more of these classes, find no cause for |
wonder in their utterances; otherwise |
these seem surprising, except as showing
that they have nothing more sensible to
say.

Civilization has again been shocked by
the burning at the stake of two Negroes
in Georgia. There was not even the ex-
cuse of the "usual crime" or the laws
delay. The Negroes had been convicted
of murder and sentenced to death. More
over, the lynching seems to have inflamed
the white populace of the section to a
white heat, so that little regret is ex-
pressed for the fiendish performance,
and the whites have banded together to
rid the community of class of Negroes
whom they consider unsafe. Several
Negroes have been logged, some whose
offence is ''alleged disrespectful protest
against the white supremacy" and some
have been shot. But all these details are
sickening reading for nation which is
carrying civilization into the islands of
the sea.

1t is a peculiar, If not unique, condi-
ton in political affairs, that the accept
ance speech of a presidential candidate
has decided a leading paper to support
the opposing candidate. The New York
Sun, on the publication of Judge
Parker's speech of acceptance, immedi-
ately announced its intention to support
Roosevelt and Fairbanks. The situation
would not be so peculiar il Judge Park
er's speech had been so radical as to give
offence. On the contrary, it was the very
colOrlessness Ito coin clumsy wOrd) OF
the speech which decided the Sun. As
the Sun systematically puts it, "In'
stead of rising above the platform of his
party, he has ignominiously crawled
under it."

The candidates for president and vice
president of the two principal parties, as
we'll as several of the minor ones, have
now been officially notified of the fact
of their nomination, of which they had
been informed for several weeks. Each
one has responded by reading lengthy
speech carefully prepared beforehand,
and presumably submitted to the con-
sideration, if not the revision, of astute
party managers. As If this were not
enough, it is understood that each of
them is further to respond sat greater
length in letter of acceptance to APP
pear later. Seems as if this notification
and acceptance business is expanded be-
yond what is absolutely necessary.
