Since 1894 OpELL has been the abso-

JONATHAN D. WILSON incidentally has

A Senator on Normsn's Woo.

The Hon. HENRY CABOT LODGE is a
worthy successor Of CHARLES SUMNER
in one respect. He is as solemn as
forty catacombs. He is as humorless
as all the prophets and all the sibyls.
Sometimes this is impressive and helps
him in his business. Sometimes he
overdoes his speciality and the galleries
laugh consumedly. This was the case
with his recent powerful speech showing
the effect upon Morocco, Santo Domingo
the Caribbean and the universe generally
Of the election Of Governor OF Massa-
chusetts. It seemed to Mr.. LODGE that
Massachusetts would repudiate the
Administration II Democratic DOUGLAS
should have Democratic successor.
Mr.. LODGE was In Europe last summer

frivolous disposition has manifested
itself in the Bay State. A good many
thousands of Republicans there are
Douglas Democrats as we'll q Roose-
welt Republicans. These persons don't
believe that the tariff is perfect and
inviolable, the best of all possible tariffs
They agree with Mr.. ROOSEVELT. We
regret to have to say that they don't
wholly agree with Mr.. LODGE; don't
believe that he is as close to the busi-
ness and bosom Of Mr.. ROOSEVELT as he
thinks he is; don't venerate him as they
should and manifest most unbeooming
desire to oppose him and put him out
Wild outlaws were heard all over the
State. Mr. LoDoE's affecting speech
was derided.
Mr.. LODGE must have been panied by
this ingratitude, this disrespect to q
sacred institution. Naturally he became
more solemn, II the thing IL conceivable
Many Of the Massachusetts Republicans
are restless about the tariff. Forthwith
Mr.. LoDoR launches tremendous
speech in favor Of shipping subsidies.
A certain artistic pleasure tempers
the sorrow with which we gaze upon

Cause Of Fusi0n's Discord.

Since the first gathering of the anti
Tammany conference each meeting Of
the would-be allies has developed some
! new cause Of disoord. One OF the Or
Aganizations concerned In the effort to
= Oppose union ticket to the ticket to be
headed by Mayor MCCLELLAN has with
drawn from the pact, only to be coaxed
back again. Now the probability is
that the effort 10 put fusion ticket
IN the field will be abandoned. The
reason for this outcome IL interesting
and instructive and is worthy Of the
careful attention Of political freebooters
generally.
In 1901, and again in l9os the conflict
ing interests represented In the pre-
nomination assemblies Of the anti
Tanmany forces were reconciled and
adjusted, not without friction, but with
out too great effort, because the men
and organizations involved were ami
mated by sincere desire to agree upon
1 ticket. The rival ambitions of the
leaders could be curbed and controlled
because they were subordinate in the
mind OF each to the object for which
the gatherings were called. Had that
situation been repeated this year, an
arti-Tammany fusion would have re-
suited, which, though its ticket would
have been doomed to defeat at the polls,
might at least have been respectable.
: But this year, to the causes OF dis
Agreement inevitable in any attempt to
draw together men Of differing political
beliefs in union on political ticket.
there has beon added the malign in
fuence Of a man incapable Of straight
forward and disinterested action, q

WASHINGTON Sept. 27.-Secretary Will

prosperity and full crops in that section.
The wheat and corn crops of the Western
States, he says, are larger than last year,
and as q result the farmers arc very pros
porous.
Secretary Wilson found that the prind-
pal topic Of discussion In the West was
railroad rate regulation. More interest
was taken in that question than IN any
other since the silver camr aign.

A Religious Pastor and Po!icyho'dcr on
the Contribution BY Mr.. mccall.

To THE EpIroR OF THE Sun Sir: As q
polcyholder In the New York Life. o pastor
Of a New York church and for most Of my
life reader Of THE SUN, wish to express
my very great satisfaction at THE SUNS
position regarding the contributions OF tho
company made at q time when the interest
of policyholders were ct reatly jeopardized.
On the Sunday preceding the memorable
election OF 1890 the writer. In concert with
most OF the pastors ln the city, preached
on the nations orisis confronting US. The
ground taken In the discourse was that II
was not now a question Of politics or party
or personal preference, It was q question Of
morals and national honesty whether the
nation would be true to It's pledges or delib-
erately default on the same and defraud It's
creditors. 1t was q question. too, whether
from q future OF unlimited possibilities In
prosperity and progress the country should
be plunged In q day into universal panic and
pandemonlum.
Among q number Of prominent business
men present at that service was the president
Of the New York Life Insurance Company.
In a conversation with the preacher after
tho service on the question discussed, he
said: Il soemnly believe no mortal man can
estimate the commercial ruin and shrinkage
OF values that will surely follow should the
silver ticket be elected next Tuesday. My
only hope Is that enough good men. regard
