TAMMANY HALL TRANQUIL
BY JOHN MARTHoU.

New York, February 1.-The approach ing departure of ex-Governor Odell for a European trip which Is to last several months has again started the usual gos- sip concerning hls leadership of the re- publican party in the state and city af
 fairs Any one who is at all posted on such matters knows that Chairman Odeu runs no risk in leaving the city ane sta Tor while. His position as leader is as- sured and there is no noe who is ahle ar willing to undertake the task of yrestI- Ing 1t from him. Senator Platt does not want to do so. He does not care for tha worries and work that are essential in carrying ont its duties and there ia no friction between Odell anu Platt: thev understand each other fully and are in harmony. Odell Is the best political or- ganizer In the country and his lienten- ants are loyal and have abiding faith in his sincerity sagaelty and ability Ire mas done more with tho republican organ ization than any man who has eve,. head- ed It and he has strengthened many tan gles that others found impossible When he took hold of tie organization he was laced by number of factions of greater or less strength and he has succeeded in bringing them into line and Keeping then, there His success in political fights shows this. While he was Ggoverno he elimlnated the ring entirely and drove the black horse cavalry out of the can itol. eoP

The faddists seem to be in control of the pupllc schools of New York, but tho pupllc IS not so well satisfied with the way matters are going and some protests poth loud and long are being put on re- cord' UT course there there is a wide div ergence of public opinion as to the matter or education and it's essentials but thera ls growing idea that there Is too much pasketry, music and singing and too lIt- tie arithmetic, spelling. history and com position in the curriculum s it is form Cd at present. There Is no doubt that A me generatoion of expert bird callers and apron makers is being brought mn but 1t is also true that the growing gem eration promises little in the line of let- ter writers and mathematicians The The ignorance of the average pupil of tho New York schools in matters of history and comon essentials of efimentary edu- cation is appalling and there seems to he no remedy.

Children Are Fed.

The statement that there are in New York City 70,000 children whom poverty compels to go to school unfed has so im- pressed Eva Booth, the new commander of the Salvation Army that she has open ed a umber of free soup kitchens to re- lieve the supposed fnering The plan has proven popular and many war-faced youngsters have gone to their school with happier hearts and contented minds. There is of course an element that will take advantage of the generous charity that Is thus afforded. but in the main the work will do good Other organizations have been discussing doing the same thing as Miss Booth has started. but as usual that main thing that was accom- plished was a lot of talk by number of impractical people whose charity is large ly made up of sympathetic talk The agi- tation was originally started by Robert Hunter. 6 practical settlement worker.

Tan1h.-.J Hall Quiet

Affairs in Tammany Hall appear to be moving along with less friction than has been seen in the organization for a long time. The leadership of Charles Mur- phy seems satisfactory and he has done great deal for Tammany in a way that has Impressed the pubic with his strength. There have no. been many leaders of the organization who have not been free from a continual contest to maintain their position, and Murphy can sleep oni6hts and know that tomorrow s sun will not see him deposed The talk Of mutterngs, ad dissatisfaction has practically ceased for there was noth- Ing to 1t, and when he speaks of the chances In the next election he knows what he Is talking about for there is no doubt that the organization will stand by Mayor Mcclellan solidly. Murphy says Mcclellan is the best mayor New York has ever had and there are many people who are not democrats or members of Tammany Hall who are saying the same thing. There is one feature about Mur- phy that stands out strongly and that Is his fairness. Nobody has ever called him
 "a grafter' for he Is not one and he Is not as rich as some people think. He has made money and some of 1t possibly from political influence but ne has earned it honestly and has given value received.

T was in the spring of the year 1894 that all London was interested, and the fashionable world dismayed, by the murder of the Honorable Ronald Adair under the most unusual and inexplicable circumstances. The pub lie has already learned those particu- lars of the crime which came out in the police investigation, but a good deal was suppressed upon that occa- sion, since the case for the prosecu- ton was so overwhelmingly strong that it was not necessary to bring for ward all the facts. Only now, at the end of nearly ten years, am I allowed to supply those missing links which make up the whole of that remarkable

As to Race Suicide.

From the Mail and Breeze
You have noticed quite good deal of space
occupied in this paper on the subject of race
suicide.
1t is the policy of this moral guide to allow
anybody connected with it to have and express
almost any sentiment they may see fit to ex-
press, just as the readers are allowed to advo-
cate any theory, either sensible or foolish, that
may strike their several fancies.
Personally, we do not take as much stock in
this talk about the advantages o. large families
as we might. Roosevelt has right to think
what he pleases and say what he pleases about
the evils of small families, but that does not
alter our opinion. There are lot of people
born into the world every year who add nothing
of advantage to society or to themselves. 1t
would have been money in their pockets if
they had never been born. There is no surplus
of people born into the world who amount to
something, but Of people who don't seem to
know what they are here for there is vast
surplus.
Another thing that we have noticed is that
this talk about the evils of small families comes
from the len. So far, we do not recall where
any women who have to raise babies are clam
oring for rapid increase of thd family
We may be wrong in our supposition, but
our guess is that if the President were kept for
a period of twenty years with one child at
breast, another dragging at his skirts and two
or three others rolling in the dirt all the while,
tie beauty of race increase would not be SO ap-
parent to him as it seems to be now.
The woman who mas to care for family of
ten children and attend to her other household
duties may have the consolation of feeling that
she has been benefactor of her race, but it is
tough on the woman. All the period of her
young and middle-aged womanhood is weary,
inonotonous round of toll and care. When the
family is resred, she is apt to be gray-headed
and faded and prematurely broken by the bur
den she has had to carry.
Whether child is benefit to the world or
not depends upon the kind of stock it has in it

is automatic.

IT looks to man up tree that there is a
whole lot of "moukey business" going on at
Topeka. Impelled by the irresistible force Of
public opinion, the Legislature enacted a refn-
cry law and provided for the issuing Of bonds
to bear the expense. Governor Hoch, after
some vacillation, claimed to be enthusiastic for
the scheme. The state officers, apparently,
had nothing to do but to carry out the wishes
of the people. But strange spectacle pre-
sents itself. Two sets of attorneys jump into
the arena. One set, we'll known as corporation
attorneys and representatives of the Standard
Oil Company, appear for T. 7. Kelly, state
treasurer, and seek to nullify the will of the
people by preventing the issuance of the bonds.
Then comes Warden Jewett, of the state peni.
tentiary, an appointee and representative of
Governor Hoch, and he, also, engages set of
lawyers to prevent the carrying out of the peo-
ple's wishes. Finally, win or lose, the people
will have to pay these lawyers. Is not that
strange state of afais? What gang of bosses
is running things at Topeka? Are the state
treasurer and warden of the penitentiary big
ger than the legislature? Is the cry OF "Pop-
ulism," Socialism, Communism" going to
create panic and stop the carving out of the
peoples visible Roy Reporter.

Old Men and Jobs.

Tom McNeal gets off the following sensible
remarks in the Mail and Breeze:
"Within the past few MONTHS the writer has
been in position to note some phases of the
bread.aud-butter problem that he never ran
across before. We have seen a number Of old
men asking for jobs because they have to find
some way to make living. These are worthy
old men, too. They have been sober, indus
trious and frugal, but through some hard luck
or other, for which they have not been respon-
sible, they have nothing ahead. The ability
to earn living in the ordinary business of life
is lessened until they cannot compete with
younger men. In one case, the man had
good position and some accumulation. His
wife was taken i'll. As result, he was not
only compelled to give no his position, but to
spend all that he had accumulated in travelling
expenses, nurse, doctor and hospital bills.
'Now, he is without means, without job,
and at an age when none of the ordinary posi-
tions are open to him.
cit is evident that our present system needs
some amendments The man who has been a
good citizen, who has done his best, but who,
on account of some misfortune which he could
not avoid, is left without means in his old age,
ought not TO be compelled to 60 about begging
for job as matter of charity"
-"
Socialism, which is so much reviled and so
bitterly condemned by many, will furnish way
whereby this man, and all others like him, will
be enabled to earn comfortable living, and do
it hororably. And it will not be in the line of
charity, either.-EDIToR AG1TAroR.

NUMBER 50.
Trusts Control Currency.

Alexander Del Mar writes interestingly on
the above subject in the May number of Tom
Watson's Magazine. A portion of the article
follows:
ut is an essential part of the merry game
which these Captains are permitted to play
that they shall always have in their hands the
means alternately to initiate and contract IT,
currency, at any given point, say, for example,
New York. With the mints restricted to the
coinage of metal for private persons, anG the
hands of the government tied to fixed issue
of greenbacks, while their own hands are free,
the mschievous elasticity which they employ
for the success of their operations is easily ac-
quired by getting command of the principal
banks of issue. The moment they press their
fingers on this button, the market Immediately
responds by throwing irs stocks overheard; and
the moment they release the button, up rise
the stocks again. 1t is by means of this sim
pie mechanism that the public has been plum
dered, and that it is now planned to plunder
the companies. That there is no longer any
art in the trained motorman's vocation is
proved by the small wages he commands. The
art is in providing the power and controlling
the mechanism which drives the cars. In the
captains of industry game, the power is derived
from the elastic bank issues; the mechanism
consists of certain banks and insurance compa-
nies and the stock exchange. Given the power
and mechanism which these establishments
furnish, any bandit could work the game and
have plenty of leisure to spare. The System
is automaticN

In Missouri the governor, a Democrat, gave
Cut the word quietly that the Sunday closing
law must be enforced. The brewers said they
could raise one million dollars to prevent it.
The governor did not come out and bluff or
buster. He just said quietly that the law
should be enforced The brewers clustered
around for time, and then quit. In Kansas
note the difference. There has been prohb-
itory law on the statute books of Kansas for
years, and practically every governor has pol
lyfoxed around about it. Even Hoch, who is
stanncn prohibitionist, has not talked right.
1t is time that Kansas officials were getting
little backbone. 1t never pays to triAe with
lawlessness. Folk can enforce the laws in
Missouri, and Hoch could enforce them in
Kansas. The trouble is, we do not have brave
enough governors in Kansas. Lawrence

to raise one fne-blooded steer than half a dozen
narrow.hammed Arkansw dogies. One man
with fue blood in his veins is of more value to

COST Of THE BIG STICK.
Tom Watson's Opinion of the India Rubber
Monroe Doctrine.
VOLUME IS.

From Tom Watsons Magazine.
The India rubber qualities of the Monroe
Doctrine are being made manifest Win
VENGEANCE. Once we understood 1t to mean,
in general way, that Europe must Hands
off, no more conquest, colonization or exten-
sion of the European system to the American
continent.
By Mr.. Cleveland, England was told, with
6rmuess, that she couldn't steal Venezuela's
land. even though the theft consisted OF the
simple device of moving the boundary liae.
With Mr.. Roosevelt's advent to power comes
decidedly new chapter in the evolution OF the
Monroe Doctrine. We are to assume sort OF
trusteeship for adjacent governments. We
must see to it that they conduct themselves
decently and in order They must pay their
debts to citizens of other countries and behave
themselves generally in way that meets our
approval.
Mr.. Roosevelt, in advancing the Monroe
Doctrine to this extent, has undertaken big
contract for this country.
If we are to be the policeman for South
America, Santo Domingo, Cuba, Mexico and
Central America, we must, first of all, have
powerful navy? This is clear to EVERYBODY
What is not so clear is that powerful stand
ing army will inevitably follow-as sure as
fate, it will fellow.
For it is certain that natural result OF our
hectoriug, bulldozing, over-lord attitude toward
countries like those mentioned will make them
our bitter enemies. South America already
hates Us, and has cause to hate US.
The manner in which we sanctioned the COL
lection of claims against Venezuela, by the
warships of Europe, will not be forgotten.
This feeling will be intensified by Mr.. Roose.
velt's recent utterances, and will spread through
all the peoples affected by it.
II we are to compel these governments to
kpuckle down to every Asphalt trust, or other
speculative syndicate, which enters the country
for the purpose of exploitation, the time Will
certainly come when our attempts to make
them conform to our standard OF what is decent
and orderly in dealing with plundering corpo-
rations will be resisted.
What then?
Our navy can lombard the cities Of the coast,
but will our marines leave the ships and defeat
the land forces of the the interior? Evidently
not. What, therefore, must we do! Send
army against aamy as we shall have sent navy
AGAINST navy. Consequently, the same policy
which logically requires powerful navy will
likewise require powerful standing army.
And our masters know it!
