EBEN ". MARTIN
FOR THE SENATE

Gamble Machine

The Hon. Eben W Martin, Of Dead
wood has started something in the State
of South Dakota by frankly announcing
himself candidate for the seat in the
Senate occupied by the Hon Robert J.
Gamble, OF Yankton.
MIR Martin is now the member of the
lower house Of Congress for the west
ern section Of the State They don't have
districts in South Dakota Being entitled

policy has been TO give the section east
of the Missouri, which IS the larger and
more popGlous, the Two Senators ana
one Congressman, while allowing ths
western part. including the Black Hills.

Under this arrangement Congressman
Burke and Senators Gamble and Kilt

the State and Congressman Martin in
the west

Mr.. Gamble is senior Senator and titu-
lar party leader, and he is a car OF the
most autocratic sway He was the big
railroad lawyer Of Inc State before the
railroad influences sent him to the
Senate. and ne has ruled with an iron
hand
There mas been some disposition, ap-
parentIy, to unload Senator Gamble for
some time. South Dakota has two
sharply defined Republican factions, one
headed By kittredge and the other by
Coe /. Crawford. Of Huron. Crawford
Is To South Dakota what La Toilette IS
TO Wisconsin, Cummins TO Iowa or De-
neen to Illinois
He is the leader Of insurgency, with
this difference. that he hasn't yet won
his victory Last year he vas the anti
organization candidate for governor ana
he came close to defeating the organi-
Zation.
More Aspirations.
He IS supposed TO be planning another
canvass for the same position next year,
with the ultimate purpose Of using the
gubernatorial chair as a stepping stone
TO the Senate
Thus there are at least three strong
men already out for the Senatorial sue
cession Of 1907, and more are certain to
enter the lists. II is likely that there
VIII be q disposition of the Crawford

ENGLAND'S SHIPS
TO VISIT BALTIC
COunterbalancing Move to
That Of Germany.
BRITISH OFFICER EXPLAINS

BRITISH OFFICER EXPLAINS

CHICAGO. Aug. "A special cable
gram TO the Daily News from London
says:
England's Channel heet goes on its
cruise In the Baltic toward the end OF
August TO readjust the balance Of naval
influence in those waters. This con-
struction is put upon the latest phase
of Anglo German maneuvers by the
Navy League. THE Kaiser Is having
his demonstration" said an officer OF
the league today to your correspondent,
and We must have ours. 1t is i'm
probable that Emperor William viii tsc-
cOmplish much by the homage which he
is extending to the Gar, King Oscar.
King Christian. and klngiess Norway
bit 1t Is just well that our interests
in this connection should not be left
entirely to chance.
Interest in Forth Sea.
1t is true, as the uItra-conservative
Reichsbote asserts in its demand for
the closing Of the Baltic against all
warships except those of Russia, Swe-
den, Denmark and Germany, that those
waters do not wash the shores Of Eng
land. but the North sea washes our
shores and it is extremely close 10 the
Baltic
IF the Kaiser, by simple moral sua-
sion, could attach Sweden. Norway and
Denmark to himself We probably could
only acquiesce. but we rather dislike 70
see him applying his moral suasion
while his fleet of war vessels floats in
the Offfng. In such circumstances the
sooner a counterbalancIng force appears
the more probable that the Scandinavian
nations will be governed by decisions
strictly on the merits of the case. II is
the British opinion that the Scandinav-
ian peoples, jointly and seyeraIly, are
determlned 10 keep the Kaiser at q safe
distance.
Those nations will never sacrifice
their joint independence 10 Germany or
any other power. unless they are in
timidated. England win not permit
them 10 be intimIdated without q pro-
test. The Channel fleet Will pass some
days in German waters to show our
Teutonic cousins that we want TO be
friends
Story Finds Credence.
There is good reason for believing
that this officers version of the forth
coming cruise in the Baltic accords
closely with the view held in more
official quarters.

The Declaration Of AnaCostia

The people OF Anacostia are no
crawfish. They undertook recently to
force the Anacostia and Potomac
Railroad Company to give them a
decent service across the AnacOstia
bridge and now they are willing the
whole community should hold them
responsible for the tie-up which re-
suited. They wanted through cars,
they adopted drastic measures to get
them. and they got them.
Yesterday they issued a new decla-
ration of rights, a sort of manifesto
to the District Commissioners that
a few thousand dollars for the repair
OF the weak structure which necessi-
tated this action, would be appro-
pirate They indicate that there is
a certain disparity between the al
lowance of more than 100000 for the
Connecticut avenue bridge and the
interruption of the car service to
Anacostia because there was not
money enough TO make the Anacostia
bridge even reasonably safe.
a good many people look askanee
at that Connecticut avenue bridge. IN
fact, the people of Anacostia under
state the case. When that structure
is finished It will have cost not S800,-
900, but more than 81, 900, ,000-one
dollar out OF every ten appropriated
the year the bridge was authorized
The same money might have redeem
ed half the Anacostia flats, or built
a hospital for consumptives in the
advanced stages of the disease, or
given Fairgrounds TO all the children
of the District for a hundred years,
or provided the residents of the coun-
ty an adequate police protection for
the same length of time. or accom-
plished any one of a dozen other
projects of general benefit
With all that, the bridge is neither
toy nor useless ornament. 1t viii
prove real convenience to thousands
OF citizens. And it will operate to con-
firm the prosperity of every real
estate agent who holds land within
reach of it. 1t is luxury TO be sure,
but it will have a practical value just
the same
And, while it is 4 luxury, it has not
blocked the District from providing
for other sections. Anacostia is not
to have $4,000 for the repair Of an
obsolete, antiquated, unsafe, mad
equate and unsightly structure, but a
fine new bridge which shall be orna-
mental. permanently safe. and equal
to all the demands of the traffic to
and from Anacostia. 1t cannot be
built in a day. Not even the Connect
icut avenue bridge can be put up
over night. But it will be built as
speedily as is practicable. In the
meantime the good people of Anacos-
tia must wait, as they have waited for
the redemption of the fats, as the
city has waited for the segregation
Of consumptives, as the children are
waiting for Fairgrounds, and as the
whole community is waiting for a
fuller police protection.

ENCOURAGING DEMOCRATS.
the Airship of the De-
mocracy.

The Post copies the caption of an
editorial in the Commoner in which Mr..
Bryan, in a spirit that throws Marx
Tapley off his pedestal, attempts to
fill the democratic mind with firm con-
fdence and cheerful hope-confidence
that the democratic party has been
making excellent progress for some
time past hope that the goal, the
honor and the fact of victory, will
soon be attained. Mr.. Bryan, says the
Washington Post starts out with the
remark that IF any democrat is dis
posed to take a gloomy view of the
future. let him find encouragement in
a review of the last few years"
The last few years." Twelve years
are but few; let any gloomy minded
democrat, yearning for tender buds of
promise look back II years to 1898,
when his party came into full control
of the government for the first and,
alas, the only time since the beginning
of Buchanan's administration-ca
in ION all fours," as the result of a
splendid triumph in 1892. Let that
anxious democrat recall the pride and
Joy with which he and his political
brethren contemplated that historic re-
turn TO power, and then let him trace
step by step, the fortunes of his party
10 this day and date. Will the seeker
for good cheer find encouragement in
a review of his party's defeats in the
congressional elections of 1894, 1896,
1898, 1900 1902 and 1904, the latest the
most overwhelming Of the series of
six successive disasters? viii a review
of the presidential elections of 1896
1900 and 1904, the latest an avalanche,
afford any real satisfaction to the suf-
fering soul of the seeker for signs of
coming victories?
Mr.. Bryan is not plenarily respon-
sible for all the woes that have come
to the democratic party since 1892, but
1t is a suggestive coincidence that the
era of democratic decadence has been
contemporaneous with his leadership
And there is not an iota of encourage
ment. there Is nothing brighter than
despair, in the fact that Mr.. Bryan is
apparently determined to continue his
rule or ruin tactics.

WELL ENOUGH WILL DO US
Tariff Tinkering at the Present Time
Would Be Worse Than
Folly.

The prospect before the American peo-
pie for three years to come is one of
eXuberant prosperity. All signs from
agriculture, industry, trade and finance
are for such period of plenty as will
surpass even the Mckinley years, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Aside from such a series of crop fail
ures as this country has never known,
only one thing can check the golden
flood. That is, tinkering with every
thing that is, merely because it is not
just what many of us would like to have
it.
The Dingley tariff is not perfect.
Many of its rates are irrationally high.
But any thorough revision of it would
check prosperity.
Predatory trusts should not be per-
mitted to go uncurbed, nor the secret
railway rebate be tolerated. But to
check these evils it is not necessary to
blow up the foundations of industry and
transportation. To do so would check
prosperity.
People support that government and
that party best under which the average
man prospers best. And they repudiate
parties and turn from governments un-
der which the average man does not
prosper This may not be lovely trait
OF human nature, but it is there and
must be reckoned with.
Now that congress is about to meet.
the republican party and its response
bic leaders should reflect upon these
facts and send to the rear those who
explode with epoch-making changes
every five minutes.
The word of the hour is. Let well
enough alOne-let well enough aIone!"
