Mr.. Hearst Will Be Regular.

The Star on Saturday pointed out the i'm
probability of the story from Albany as
cribing to Mr. Hearst the positive inten-
ton Of boiling the st. Louis nomination in
case the conservatives make it. Yester-
day, in an interview, Mr. Hearst put
quietus on the yarn. He will be regular in
any case. He is making, he declares, his
fight within the party. He does not be-
lieve the reorganizers will dominate the
situation at st. Louis. He talks like
man very hopeful of carrying his point
But he leaves no room to question his ac-
ton no matter what the democracy in ma
tional convention may do, and he offers as
surety the fact that he has three times
supported Mr.. Cleveland and twice Mr..
Bryan Greater loyalty to party can no
man show than that
But in the event of a conservative tri-
umph at st. Louis what will Mr.. Hearst's
support be worth to his party? He has
said, and other people know, that the trust
influences are behind the conservative pro-
gram. Mr.. Cleveland is conspicuously in
their favor. Judge Parker will command
their support If nominated, and August
Belmont, 1T is announced, will collect the
sinews of war. The nomination of Mr.
German would please them. Mr.. McClel-
Ian. by reason of his environment would
be acceptable to them, and of course Mr.
Olney, If he had a grasshopper's chance,
would Can We imagine Mr.. Hearst clam
oring for the election of any of these men
on platform drafted in New York and
with a view of bringing the men who bolt
ed in 1896 and 1900 back into line?
Or is it easy to imagine Mr. Hearst SOW
ing his good round dollars broadcast in the
interest of any such candidacy? Would it
not. indeed, be a .'ttle embarrassing and
indicate for the chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee 10 approach him
for contribution? He has been lectured
SO roundly by the reorganizers for his use
of money in politics that his ears must be
ringing with the talk. His lavishness now,
1t ID true, is in his own behalf. Lavishness
then would be solicited in behalf OF the par
ty. But, in morals, is there any difference
between buying a nomination and buying
an election? Could he not, if he chose,
smile upon his caller and say, MY dear sir
you people have cured me of spending
money In politics.? He might not do so.
He would probably draw check But 1t
would probably be for something less than
ten million dollars, and 1t would probably
be his only contribution TO the campaign.
We can see, then, that Mr.. Hearst as
supporter of the st. Louis nominee on the
score of regularity might be a very mild
and inoffensive young man. Both Mr.. Hill
and Mr.. German have shown how easy it
is to support ticket without becoming ex-
cited over 1t or wishing 1t success, and may
be Mr.. Hearst who is an observing indi-
vidual. has noticed how the trick is turned.

| confederate ironclad ram Albemarle had
been playing havoc with the federal naval
| forces in the North Carolina sounds. Her
powerful armament and daring and skill
| full handling enabled her to inf1ict heavy
damage, and for a time there seemed no
prospect of ending her destructive career.
William B. Gushing. then only twenty
two years old. had been previously en-
gagged in a series of brilliant enterprises
along the southeastern coast, and In this
emergency volunteered with a small crew
to attack the Albemarle. He assembled the
Roanoke river I'm a steam launch towing an
armed cutter. Although the river banks
were lined with confederate pickets to
guard against just such an attack. Gushing
ran to within a few yards of the Abe
marie before he was discovered. There
was sharp exchange of shots, the launch
firing effectively with howitzer. The
iron-clad was protected by raft Of logs,
but Cushing ran his boat forward under
full head of steam, and topping the OBJ
struction forged ahead sufficiently to strike
the iron-clad's hull with the torpedo boom
thrust out from the little craft. The con-
federate ship sank at her mornings and
was never raised. Gushing and his COM
panions leaped overheard from their sink
ing launch and swan for safety. Only one
other beside himself escaped, two Of the
crew being drowned and the others cap
tured. Gushing himself, by dint of excep-
tional hardihood and bravery. coupled with
the good fortune Of meeting a federal
picket boat. managed to return unframed
to his own lines. For this daring and
highly valuable service he was honored by
the thanks of Congress.
The dispatches do not state what style OF
torpedo was used by the Russian lieuten-
ant, though 1t is safe to assume that 1t
was in some degree dirigible. which gave
the Russian an advantage over Gushing,
who fought In the days when this style OF
war device was unknown. His escape I'M
harmed with his boat indicates that the
Japanese were wholly unprepared for the
attack and probably thrown into confusion
by the shock. The actual and moral effect
of the exploit cannot compare with the
consequences of Cushing's enterprise, for
the loss of the Albemarle to the confeder-
ates was well-nigh Gripping. while the
Japanese cruiser, it appears, was not de-
stroyed, and If even she were the Russians
would not gain anything whatsoever by
her removal from the scene. The only in
iuence the daring and unquestionably
skillful enterprise can have upon the war
conditions is to hearten the now democrat

enabled by circumstances and perhaps
their own limitations to appear to but

Those Cleveland Bond Sales.

Speaking of a recent publication Senator
Elkins says:
when Mr.. Cleveland undertakes to write
the history of the bond sales, do not see
why he should ignore what was done III tue
Senate
Mr. Elkins mistakes the character OF MT
Clevelsnd's paper. 1t Is not history Oh
the bond sales. but brief for the Cleve-
land presidential boom. The Sage OF Prince
ton presents the matter in the light which,
as he thinks, is best calculated to make
favorable impression on the st. Louis con-
vention. He wants to resume the leader
ship of his party, and there are features oil
his second administration which are CIV
ing his supporters trouble. The people
want to know about this thing and that,
and Mr.. Cleveland himself is undertaking
to supply the Information.
That he is not making very good fist or
It Is evident from the comments of both
men and newspapers. His paper on the
Chicago strike riots contained an attack on
the late Governor Altgeld-in his day an
eminent man In the democratic party-and
now this paper on the bond sales shows
such small and twisted relations to the
whole story, as Mr.. Elkins points out, as
to make it a sort of boomerang. Mr.. Cleve-
LAND has simply confessed to a full share
I'm transactions which at the time Were de-
nounced by democrats of light and leading,
and are still held by those same democrats
as showing the helplessness of Mr.. Cleve-
land in the hands of selfish manipulators.
Mr. Cleveland attempts to carry off the
whole matter by giving it the unqualified
weight of his name-which is magnificent,
but hardly war.
Mr. Elkins further says:
According to the papers it was charged
at the time that Mr.. Morgan made 81 ,OO0UOO
out of the contract. 1t was said he came
over TO Washington, closed up the deal In
one night. and went back to New York.
The margin of profit on the DEAL 1t was
charged, was approximately S6.OOO.0O0,
which was divided among the other bankers
who were to supply the gold"
Republics are charged with ingratitude.
See how certain capitalists shine by COM
parison. Mr.. Morgan is now one of the
lustiest of the Cleveland boomers. His
newspapers sing the song of sixpence daily.
In the loftest language of patriotism. they
decry the President and bepraise Mr.. Cieve-
land. and call for a change. August Bel
mont, who fingered part of the profits of
that contract, Is quoted as Parker man,
but is suspected of strong Cleveland lean
fngs. and will. 1t Is said, collect record
breaking campaign fund for use this year.

benefactor is nominated at st. Louis.
