BUCKEYE POLITICS.
LonRworth Not Likely to Lead the
Ohio Republicans.

Not Likely to Lead the
Ohio Republicans.
That fairy tale the Washington Star
tells Of the determination Of adminls-
tration Republicans of Ohio to select
Nicholas Longworth as the candidate
for governor and leader of the party
would be nuts for the Democrats if
true. How pleased the Republicans
of Ohio would be to have the prince
consort" ruling them as q satrap and
receiving orders from father-in-law at
Washington! Longworth will no doubt
be a dutiful and admirable son-in-law,
but that would not lessen the doubt
about his political affiliations. He owes
his nomination and election to Boss
Cox, as did both congressman and
state legislators from Cincinnati In
1904.
Indeed, Congressman Longworth feels
SO especially under obligations to Boss
Cox that in a speech in the house of
representatives on Jan. IS, 1904, he
said:
"Then Mr.. George Cox is alluded to, a
man who, unaided and simply through
force Of ability and character, built
himself up from a poor working boy
to be one of Cincinnati's most emil
nent citizens, q man Of whom there Is
nobody who does not say that his word
Is as good as his bond. If it is a curse
to have citizens like this, if it is q curse
to have clean, able and upright men to
administer the affairs Of the city, then
Cincinnati is indeed cursed"
Since that time the people Of Cincin-
natl have %overthrown the unspeakably
rotten Cox administration by electing
Democrats for mayor and council and
all the members Of the legislature from
Cincinnati. There is no evidence that
Congressman Longworth aided in this
righteous indignation of an outraged
community.
When Foraker and Dick have been
heard from and 1t is known they favor
the elevation Of Mr.. Longworth as
their leader it will be easy to arrive
at a conclusion upon the important
question Of whether Boss Cox is IA
vorable. The Republicans of Ohio are
more independent than they were
when Hanna ruled them with q rod
Of iron and may be FESTIVE under die
tation. In the interests Of Democracy
we second the selection Of Nicholas
Longworth as the Republican leader
Of Ohio or any other position in the
Republican party he may aspire to.

Reform In Pennsylvania.

Is Governor Pennypacker also among
the prophets! He recommends to the
Pennsylvania Legislature quite a num-
Der Of reforms that the Democrats
have demanded for many years, yet
how the great majority of the Repub-
lican members that only last spring
were corruptly passing all the steals
the bosses ordered must laugh in their
sleeves at reform being recommended
for their serious attention if the gov
ernor really means business. With no
railroad passes, with corruption sus-
pended for fear Of exposure and the
people watching for symptoms of graft,
the lot Of the Republican members Of
the Pennsylvania legislature is q new
experience. But ven enforced virtue
may bring its own reward.

Not a Parallel Case.

According to James Bryce, member
of parliament and author of THE
American Commonwealth" whose opin-
Ion on almost any subject is worthy
OF consideration, the reasons which i'm
pei Great Britain to maintain a navy
equal to that Of any other two powers
do not exist with respect to the United
States. The two nations occupy posi-
tons which differ essentially at all
points. In a naval war, he declares,
victory will not go ultimately to the
nation which commands the largest
navy, but to the one which commands
the largest resources.
Great Britain obtains her food from
abroad, and that necessitates the MAIN
t%enance of the largest merchant feet
In the world. The United States pro-
duces almost everything it consumes,
and its merchant marine is compare
lively insignificant. Without a great
feet Great Britain would be open to
invasion against which her compare
lively small land force could not stand.
The invasion Of America by q foreign
power is practically impossible, for it
cannot be struck at a vital point. The
most that an enemy holding the sen
could do against her would be to de-
sroy some Of her maritime cities and
send squadrons up some of her larger
rivers, and these %squadrons would not
be likely to return.
Mr.. Bryce is equally skeptical as to
the necessity of a great American navy
in order to enforce the Monroe doc
trine. His chief argument is to be
found in the fact that all European ma
tons have come to the conclusion that
any attempt to acquire territory in the
western hemisphere is %chimerical. In
reply to the insistence that a great ma
w must be kept ready to defend Uncle
Sans insular possessions Mr.. Bryce
declares that no power could make
such an attack with a good prospect of
ultimate success. With its ability to
raise revenue and its ineXhaustiblr
resources the United States would
come out winner in the end. Even the
temporary loss of control of its islands
would result in nothing worse thar
momentary Inconvenience, for they
would be regained in time. In Mr..
Bryce's opinion America is the most
formidable antagonist that any power

GRAND ISLAND, Neb, April Is
Especial TelegranC)-A few less than 400
refugees from San Francisco had break
fast here this morning supplied by the
relief committee and left an hour and a
half later, refreshed for the remainder
Of their journey to friends, relations and
former homes in various parts of the east,
and cheering Grand Island About half
Of tho train load of passengers will stop
at Chicago. Others go to Philadelphia,
Boston, New York, and other eastern and
northern points. Many are young, skilled
laborers, who have lost their belongings
though there are also a number of trades
men, etc. They were grouped Oft in squads
and accompanied by citizens to various res
taurants, where they were given warm
and substantial. though plain meal.
Many Incidents were related by the refu-
gees Of unspeakable hatdships and the
press reports OF earlier days were fully
substantiated.
NORTH PLATTE. Neb., April 5.--Cspe-
cial. )-'Word was received here yesterday
morning that San Francisco refugees would
arrive yesterday evening and that they
would be without means of securing supper
for them Accordingly the committee hav-
ing in charge the raising of foods and pro-
visions for the sufferers arranged for the
meal for these. When the train arrived the
whole load were filled with food secured
for them by the charitable citizens of North
Platte Different citizens sent prepared
food to the depot, and tables were spread
and the hungry and destitute were fed. II
is understood that the Union Pacific rail-
road carried these passengers free Of charge
and the people of this city literally carried
on the good work which they have been
doing since the disaster occurred. As soon
as word was received here that food and
supplies were needed the citizens of North
Platte opened their hearts and have given
abundantly. In fact a carload Of -four OF
the value of $500 from North Platte was the
first carload Of provisions TO cross the state
line after the disaster. High school girls
waited on the sufferers this evening at the
depot where refreshment and food were
served.

To be awakened out Of sound sleep by
an indescribable pitching and rolling Of
the earth, with timbers and stones and
bricks crashing all around one is enough
to produce that sensation. My family
and myself were two days in getting
across the city in an express wagon with
our trunks. The blowing up of the
buildings on Van Ness avenue not only
saved part of the city from destruction
but thousands OF lives. Multitudes of
us were penned In by the fires. We could
not get away and II the flames had spread
across the avenue we would all have
been burned. I saw one heroic deed per-
formed by a Catholic priest in this con-
nection. Fire caught on the steepie of
his church, st. Mary's. At the risk of his
life he climbed high on the steeple and
extinguished it. Had he not done so the
fire would have started fresh on the saved
side Of the avenue and the disaster would
have been intensified"
