who care not who he is but care much
what he represents. His vote will be
one colossal kick against bosses of
both parties; against the exactions of

Hearst is elected the result must be
disappointment. The city is prevented

not play in public without this charm,
but he has never dared to put this

Tamagno, the great Italian tenor,
who died recently, was noted at one

he returned to Vareso, Italy, he
changed. He built villa which for
artistic beauty had few equals any

having business with him can testify
to his efficiency and courtesy Secre-
tary Root, however, desires to have as
his chief clerk a man who is his per-
sonal friend; so he has selected
Charles DENLY, of Indiana, son of the
former minister to China, for the
place.
Col. Michael will be taken care OF
in the consular service, but his re-
moval from the state department is
none tire less regrettable. He has been
assigned to the consul generalship at
Calcutta, India, where the salary is
about double that which he had been
receiving as chief clerk of the state
department. This increase in COM
pensation, however, offers very little
inducement to man of Col Michaels
age to go to such an unhealthful eli
mate as prevails in Calcutta. 1t is
very likely that before the time comes
for him to go to this post, a transfer
will have been arranged to a place in
some more congenial latitude.
Col. Michael is veteran of the civil
war, having served first in the army
for year, and then three years as
an officer in the navy He was recon-
mended for promotion for gallantry by
Rear Admiral Porter, and he was
chosen by the people Of Iowa to repre-
sent the navy in a statue on the SOL
diers' and sailors monument in Des
MOlneS. He is man Of literary at.
tainments and served as Washing
ton newspaper correspondents for a
number of years. He is the author of
several books and has compiled many
important public documents. He was
appointed chief clerk of the state de-
partment early In President McKin.
ley's first administration, and has han.
died very important matters during his
incumbency.

Cleveland during the latter's first ad-
ministration. He was a Cleveland
democrat, but came over to the repub-
licans in 1896. Charles DENLY went
with his father to Picking and re-
manned at that legation in one capac-
ity or another for 20 years. He was
just 20 years of age when he went to
China, and early acquired a knowledge
of the Chinese language, which he can
speak as f1uently as his mother tongue.
Mr.. DENLY was through the horrors
of the siege of Tientsin during the
Boxer troubles, and the other day
talked very entertainingly of his expe-
rience. From the 18th of June to the
18th of July, 1900," said Mr.. DENLY,
there was scarcely an hour or a min
ute that l did not expect almost In
slant death would be the fate of my
own family, myself and the friends
who with us were besieged in the eel
lar of a private residence. Looking
back at it now, our escape from slaueh,
ter during that horrible time seems a
miracle. That Boxer uprising was no
trivial affair, l can tell you, and had
the Chinese been militant people
they would have wiped out the impris-
oned foreigners as easily as ever a
band of Indians scalped an immigrant
party on the plains. Maybe the steht
Of those gallant Yankee marines who
came to our rescue did not thrill our
very souls! Only those who have suf-
fered the horrors of an impending
doom, from which escape seemed i'm
possible, can appreciate our feelings
Mr.. DENLY is friend of Secretary
Root, and in his new position in the
state department will be able to rem

himself with men whom he knows

not to discuss with the newspaper men
the proceedings of the cabinet, has
created no little amusement, mixed
with just tinge of resentment, on
the part Of the cabinet officers. They
do not object to being cautioned by
their chief to refrain from divulgins
cabinet secrets, but the impulsive,
characteristic Roosevelt style of the
letter is not altogether palatable.
The truth is that very few Of the
cabinet officers would consent to be-
ing muzzled for any length of time.
They are all men of Independent
thought and action, although there are
two or three of the number who are
exceedingly close-mouthed about pub
lie affairs, and to whom the presi-
Dental caution was entirely super
f1uous. The more ope@l hearted and
communicative members Of the cabinet
will not change their manners or ma
ture on account of this letter. Big
"Bill'' Taft laughs just as heartily and
cracks just as many jokes with his
newspaper friends as he did before the
president letter reached him. Secre-
tary of the Treasury Shaw would not
forego conferences with group of
correspondents for all the hints that
could come from the white house. He
is fond of newspaper men, because
they are quick to perceive the point of
his stories and allegories. A half hour
with Shaw is an entert ainment that
no newspaper man would willingly
miss.

times as many bought voters in pro-
portion. All Rhode Island has in pro.
portion ten times as many.
1t has always been Tammany pol
icy to discourage on principle the
wholesale buying Of voters. Richard
Croker set his face against it. For
reasons. One was that it was pre-
posterous to buy votes that he would
be likely to get anyhow and in ordi-
nary years didn't need; another that if
he began vote buying the republicans
in close national elections might learn
to beat him at it; still another that
he knew other uses for a large share
Of the great campaign funds, of which
no accounting was ever made. Indi-
rectly Tammany purchases votes by
employing an army of election work
ers, by getting men jobs in public
service companies which have an un-
derstanding with the boss and in other
ways. But in out-and-out vote buying
there is nothing like as much at cleo
tons as close primary will bring

ago three remarkable men ran for
mayor of New York-Abram S.
Hewitt, democrat; Theodore Roose-
welt, republican; Henry George, anti
poverty. George was in all probability
elected. Hewitt got the count, Roose-
welt was third.
Why do / say George was elected?
Because he was, for one thing There
is contributory evidence. Hot as was
that campaign, the counted vote fell
off 1000 from two years before. Two
years later it jumped up $4,000. Some
p, 900 votes got lost in the shuttle.
The election laws were not as good
as now, though now they might be
better. Suppose Hewitt was really
elected, but by a. narrower margin
than the count In that case it was
done by votes-not less than 10000
cast for him by republicans in terror
lest campaign of confiscation should
be begun by the gentle-eyed, soft
spoken philosopher and author.
If George was beaten it was partly
by foul means, partly by a republican
stampede to such claw and order" as
Tammany furnished after overriding
the excellent Mr.. Hewitt. Will that
precedent be followed in the case of
William Randolph Hearst? Not so far
as vote-stealing goes. But once more
thousands of republicans are going to
vote for Mcclellan in their fear of
Hearst Can they beat him? Those
who scan the STRAW votes" taken in
shops, factories, Offices, railroad yards,
say no. Those who watch the work
ing Of the magnificent Tammany ma
chine; who see the orderly branch
ing out of power from boss to dis
trict leaders, from district leaders to
election district captains and from
them to the workers." those who
have faith in the preparations to pour
money like water into the conflict, say
yes. Take your pick of portents.
