Michigan for Roosevelt.
From the New York Herald

FROM the New YORK Herald
DETROIT Mich. Thursday-Roosevelt
for President first. last and all the time
seems to be the sentiment of republican
business and professional men in the me-
tropolis of Michigan. poll taken by a
representative of the Herald in office build
ings. stores and offices of manufacturers
and professional men resulted in a vote Of
1874 for Roosevelt and l for Hanna.
In every instance the persons interviewed
declared Mr.. Hanna's possible candidacy at
the present time to be an unwise move,
some calling it political suicide, in view of
the apparent desire of the great masses of
the people to see Roosevelt nominated.
One commercial traveller who annually
visits every city. village and hamlet in the
state. exclaimed: why. man. you could go
through both peninsulas of Michigan, from
one end to the other. and you wouldn't find
a single Hanna man. At least. l haven't
struck one yet"
The city has a large German population
and the feeling among representative men
of that nationality is strongly for Roose-
Welt. and they prophesy that most of the
democrats of that nationality who voted
for Mckinley, and there were great many
four years ago, would vote for Roosevelt
next fall.

Wall Street and Mr.. Bryan.

Wall street bowls at the recrudescence OF

assumed that Mr.. Bryan was done for, ana
forthwith set about capturing the demo-
cratic party. The big railroad trusts and
other trusts harborng in New York have
for months been operating in political mat
ters with an arrogance born of a supreme
confidence of their ability to control the sit
uation by the means of money. They are
all the more active now i'll the democratic
camp by reason of their rebuff in the other
camp. Originally. they had two strings to
their bow. They aspired to name both
presidential candidates. Their only hope
now is of naming one: and all democrats,
whether of the Bryan variety or any other
variety. are confronted with the necessity
of saving whether they shall do so or not
Wall street bowls at the Hearst candi-
dacy. What? Permit man of fortune to
buy the presidency? The trusts affect to

ment to lose confidence in the stability of

caused the coming contest at ST. Louis to
take on the aspect of an auction? Who adj

the right sort of a nomination at ST. Louis

Nobody should undervalue this trust

The South and Office.
writer from Mississippi is quoted as fol-
lows by the Washington Post:

A writer from Mississippi is quoted as fol-
lows by the Washington Post:
I'm MANY parts Of the south they allude
to a man who is holding the office OF post
master or some other federal place as an
r.. F. r. The initials mean republican for
revenue. and are not bestowed as comph-
ment
The ordinary federal offlceholder in the
south. especially If he be white man, can
we'll be designated an r. +. r.. because
few of them would be in the party if the
loaves and fishes were eliminated. This is
more especially true now than at any time
since the war. and the reason of 1t lies in
the hostility the people bear the President
because of what they consider his pro-
negro sentiment.
Would 1t be much of a miss If allusion
were made to a southern democrat as ID.
F. r." Just at present, what does he
stand for? He is Indifferent both as to the
tariff and free coinage. He wants the 18TH
milan canal. and is willing to take it even
from Theodore Roosevelt. But for all the
rest he cares nothing. He desires to win,
and is chiefly concerned about what Muir
ply of Tammany Hall thinks of the situa
ton. New York, he is assured, spells sue
cess. and Murphy spells New York. Give
him a straight tip as to Murphy's choice,
and YOU get straight tip to his own.
And it all means for him-office If Muir
phys man wins, the republicans will go out
of office and the democrats move in, and
the southern democrat will get place.
That tells the whole story.
The country laughs good-naturedly at Old
Black Joe. who, all too often, has gone to
republican national conventions and sold his
vote for spot cash. Finding certain poll
ticians there doing business in the vote
buying line. he sounded the market, and
when he could, obtained the top price. 1t
seemed simple matter to him. He did not
worry about the nature of the transaction.
Surely it must be all right, or his superiors
would not be engaged in it. And SO Old
Black Joe returned home with his bird in
his hand. and was quite happy.
Quite as often, Marse John has gone to
democratic national conventions and voted
according to his ideas of what would come
to him in the way of federal patronage
With no care as to the platform, and with
an eye single to the main chance, he voted
for Cleveland at one time and for Bryan
the next. and would readily have voted
for Smith. Jones, Brown, if assured that
by doing so his chances would improve for
the nostmastership. the district attorney
ship. the marshalship, something equally
good. upon which he then had his eye.
He could not have been approached with a
money offer but he opened his heart freely
to the hope of a good fat berth in Uncle
Sans establishment.
The situation in the south is deplorable for
both parties and for both colors. We shall
get good national government from Old
Black Joe as soon as from MarSe John
while candidates down there remain as
they are.

George Francis Train.

The historian of events in the United
states during the nineteenth century must
TAKE account OF that strange man who died
the other day in New York, after wears of
semi-obscurity and marked eccentricitv of
living, George Francis Train 1t is per
laps difficult now for many to realize that
at enc time Train exercised a potent inf1u
ence upon the business and political cir
cles in which he moved. He was a bold
adVenturer in trade and made and lost sew
eraI fortunes. but he was increasingly er-
ratio. and at last. after his star had
reached its zenith in connection with the
construction of the Pacific railroads. he
was adjudged insane. Since then he has
been legally dead, but mentally very act
i've. and from time to time he has burst
upon the vision Of men with mo-
mentary reminder of the old time vigor of
his intellect. There are those who be-
lieved him to have been always deranged.
Train himself acknowledged this suspicion
and challenged his accusers to prove their
contention. But he has been treated of
late years with kindly pity and the world
has moved on. His biography, published a
season or two ago, gave evidence that he
retained a marked degree of mental vigor.
but ii at the same time indicated a strange
weakness. The predominating character
lStic of the man, both before and after his
forced withdrawal from active business
life. was his monumental egotism, which
enabled him without blush to claim the
most remarkable faculties and to ask the
community for its suffrage for the highest
offices. So highly developed was this phase
OF his nature that at times it seemed as
though he were consciously disclosing it to
satirize the presumptions of other men. One
Of the most agreeable phases of Trains later
life was his great love for children, and
there was for some years no more enter
tanning sight in all New York than his re-
ceptiOns TO the little folks in one of the
city parks. where he sat surrounded by
scores of them. to whom he talked kindly
and iCformingly. Yet, during many years
he refused to speak word to an adult.
He goes with the pity of many and the per-
sonal regret of those who knew the genuine
sweetness of his nature so far as it had
not been warped by his mental afiiiction.

The excitement over the four-thirty clos
ing order seems to have subsidized in the de-
partments. No clerk is apparently disposed
to test the legality of the new rule by an
appeal to the courts or to seek a final
judicial decision on the question Of the

external evidence of a general demand
that the extra half hour be added to the
morning rather than the evening period.
In fact, the departmental workers have
settled down to the unwelcome new condi-

ton which should be taken into account

The United States and Science.

The arrival in this country of the re-
mains Of James Smithson. founder of the
Smithsonian Institution, attracts attention
irtern1 tionaly to the great strides which
this government has taken in its patronage
of science since the receipt of the English
mans beduest. The circumstances which
led To Smithson's peculiar legacy are well
known. He died in a foreign land. embit-
tered against England, and DESTROYS of for
warding the cause of science, in which he
was deeply interested. Across the seas lay
the new republic. twice the triumphant
opponent of England in war and gaining
strength yearly. Smithson's prophetic
vision doubtless pictured the United States
as future great power. 1t is conceiv-
able that he hoped that his name might be
perpetulted in the degree that the United
States should advance among the nations
and in its encouragement of science.
Yet when SmIthson's gold was received
here the young government had little or DO
foundation upon which to build an instltu-
ton such he had decreed in his will.
He prescribed the creation at Washlngt On
o. an establishment for the increase and
diffusion of knowledge among men," Such
purpose Is worthy of the greatest sue
cess. and it is highly gratifying to the
American people today to feel that Smith
