Croker Against HearstP

Three New Workers of prominence. all
Tammany men, reached home yesterday
after sojourns abroad. Former Mayor Van
Wyck declared for Hearst in terms inoi-
eating that regularity inspired his course.
John F. Carroll declined to discuss the sub
ject Andrew Freedman. a close friend of
Richard Croker and fresh from a fortnight's
visit to the ex-boss, declared for Hughes
and pinned a Hughes button on his coat.
May Mr.. Freedman's action be accepted as
rejecting Mr.. Cookers feelings? 1t Is not
unlikely. The old Croker guard In Tam
many Hall is opposed to the Murphy lead
ership, and Murphy's part in the Hearst
business is so giaring that anybody can see
it, II Hearst loses the election, Murphy will
probably lose the leadership of Tammany.
and then the Croker crowd will make play
for control of the organiza tion-may try to
induce Mr.. Croker to return and take the
helm again. Both the plot and the fog
thicken.

The North River Tunnel.

In June 1905 compressed air blasts were
turned into a couple Of pits on opposite
shores of the Hudson river and work
was begun on the north tube of the great
tunnel through which trains Will some day
run between New Jersey and New York
A month later the air was similarly turned
on in another pair of holes. designed as
the ends of the south tube. Yesterday
a party OF engineers and officials walked
through the pair of tubes. the work Of
boring having been completed on Monday.
The completion of this phase of the enter
prise, of course. does not mean that trains
will soon be running between the shores
for there is much to be accomplished in
establishing the tubes on absolutely solid
foundation and fitting them for service
while the great station building the
New York side will not be ready for use
for many months. 1t was stated yesterday
that trains would probably be running
under the river in a year and half.
This tunnel work has been exceedingly
difficult, and at the same time entirely
successful. There have been accidents, in
evitable in this class of engineering enter
prises. but they have not seriously ham
pered the progress. So accurate have been
the measurements and the work that the
two sections of the north tube. started
simultaneously from the east and the west
ends. met with only a difference of a six
teenth of an inch. while the southern sec
tons met without the slightest discern
ibe difference This is regarded as a
triumph of engineering
The completion of the boring brings the
work Of establishing ail-rail connections be-
tween Washington and New York to an
appreciable approximation of Its end In
side of another year the new union sta
ton in this city will be finished and in
use. and within two years from now, if
nothing unexpected happens. the New York
end will be ready for use and trains will
be running through from the great terminal
structure at the capital to the immense
establishment in the heart of New York
city, with connections making 1t possible
to continue without change of cars to Bos-

The Veterans and the Capital.

Washington is the city of reunions, the
city in which men of all the states may
meet to fraternize, to join hands as Amerl-
cans to transact their affairs upon ma
tIonal plane 1t is the city of all the people,
without reference to boundaries or sec
lions. 1t has been made and developed ana
strengthened as the federal city as re-
suit of three wars. The war of l176 made
IL possible The war of the sixties per-
petuated II as the capital of an undivided
and indivisible union. The war OF 1898
brought 1t to its highest significance as the
capital of a reunited people. serving against
a foreign foe under one flag.
There are now in session in Washington
representatives of an organization composed
OF the men who served their country dur
ing the war with Spain and In the cam
paigns resulting from that brief but sig

to Washington the enthusiasm ana the
patriotism of participation in a truly ma

citizens for having assembled here and wit

and power and expansiveness.
The war with Spain brought the once
parted sections of the country into the
closest national unity The call to arms
was answered by the men of every section.
Regardless of all other results. the reunion
of the blue and the gray effected by the
American intervention IN CUBA ana the
prosecution of the Philippines campaign
was of incalculable advantage to the
United States. This spirit of fraternity
prevails today in the ranks of this organza-
ton In no other city could it be displayed
to such advantage or so fully. Here Is the
common meeting ground of north ana south
and of east and west, and from this city
spring the forces that bind the union TO-

Cocaine Peddlers.

up the practice of selling cocaine to the
victims of the drug habit in this city. Re-

begged tearfully for supply of the poison.

the new law is working well and that the

Spellbinders Wanted.

The democratic congressional committee
is said to be short Of spellbnders. Can the
report be true? Where are the democratic
orators of the south? There is nothing to
keep them at home. No danger exists
there. Everything Is one way, and that
way democratic. With the nominations
made all is over even to the shouting.
Southern politicians as rule are fluent
public speakers, and have ready knack
of entertaining a crowd The section de-
mands the art of speaking. 1t has been edu-
Gated on it. Political meetings are largely

school of orators, dashed the south into a
fury which ADLER, sober men found 1t I'M
possible to control States were swept into
the confederacy on the flood tide of seces-
sion oratory
If the orators of the south show fall

ascribed to the conditions which have pre-
vailed there for nearly forty years. or
discussion, properly so called, there has
been little; of politics, properly so called,
none at ALL The bitterness of reconstruct
ton was followed by the recollecdons of
that period. and they still dominate the
situation This has left but one party, and
stamping has descended into personalities
in efforts to capture nominations, which
are equivalent to election.
For this reason it would benefit southern
orators to visit the east. and the west. and
the northwest, and participate In the cam
paigns in those sections. They would get
a longer line on public questions, and be
enabled to study audiences. which. If not
SO enthusiastically responsive as those OF
the south to fervent appeals in the fervent
style, are yet excellent judges of fine speak
ers, and even educators Of speakers.
The more fiorid of the southern men
might be persuaded to trim their vocabu-
laries, and thus strengthen their output.
This assumes of course that they would
shelve for the time the one issue-the race
issue-upon which they have developed
themselves, and go in for issues which
lend themselves less to mere excitement
and more to reflection.
There are a number Of good speakers
among the southern men In the present
Congress- and they show themselves on the
days when set speeches are In order. Mr..
