IA CAMPAIGN OF LODGING
How MT. Conner Has Jumped About on
 Different Issues.

 This great attempt at lodging when the real test of the sincerity or ms pledges was approaching so near seems is political canvass. and in following nim down the line of the campaign ne is making one is led to believe the germ of which was born in him

Predicting political results Is mo- tob1ously uncertain business. and all the more so when relating to national elections. The old adage about 'the best laid schemes of mice and men" applies especially to politics. So many things may occur to change the cur rent of opinion that when a result seems most certain the opposite may happen. Blaine stood a fine chance to be elected President in 1884 but for the Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" speech of Rev. Burchard. And so it happens that when things seem to be going one way with a rush a diver sion will come and knock all calcula- tions Into pi. It Is something like a raee-horse headed straight for the winning pole when the unexpected happens and he Is left.
 Just now there Is naturally much talk about Mir. Bryan and the Demo- cratic nomination. and from that to the election. There are some who are cock sure that he will be nominated beyond the possibility of doubt, and some go farther and predict his cleo ton with most encouraging positjvity. That is all natural and allowable. of course, but tIcklish. It Is about two years until the convention and what may happen in that time can hardly be guessed at, much less predicted. Just now it looks very much like Bry- an. but this Is not 1908.
 Here comes The Chicago Journal with a double prediction. It predicts Bryans certain nomination and equal ly certain defeat. It bases its first prophecy on Mfr Bryan's growing pop uiarity and thinks the Democrats will be sure to nominate him. Then it gives a variety of reasons why he cannot be elected, one of them being that Hearst will be a marplot. But Hearst seems to be out of the running and we do not believe he could carry ofi enough Democratic votes to affect the result in a single State. So much for him, but The Journals main ground for Republican success is the usual partisan gulf about prosperity, popu- lar confidence, Republican faithful ness to pledges and the like. We hear so much of this stun from the oppo- sition newspapers and speakers that we have grown accustomed to it, and do not believe that the Democrats need to fear 1t if they nominate a strong man on a good platform. The Journal ,s strong on predictions but It's feet may slip ur.

New Orleans Picayune.
 While nobody has ever attributed the numerous assertions and the dif- ficulty experienced in keeping the com plement of enlisted men full to the lack of sufficient officers, nevertheless the shortage in officers has undoubt- edly much to do with both conditions. There is not a ship in commission which carries what would be consid- cred a full complement of oft1cers m any other service. Duties which should be intrusted only to mature and ex- perieneed officers are assigned to young midshipmen, who, however intelligent and willing. lack experience and the knowledge of men requisite to proper ly command. As a result of this con dition of affairs the men aboard snip are not looked after as carefulIy as they should be. Each division oIn- cer has so many men to care Tor tnat he can not acquire that intimate knowledge of each and every. one or his men which is requisite to the well sion

Many of these dollars are SO worn as to be uncurrent and if they are to be melted down and re-coined into other coins of equal value the government will be put to a consid- erabie expense In producing something that Is not wanted and of which there is already large surplus. There Is demand. however. for more halves, quarters and dimes than are now in existence. but there is no law to melt down the dollars and make them into the minor coins of which there is great scarcity. This cannot be done with out an act of Congress authorizing 1t. and that body will not pass such law. Is the worship of the dollar still an article of faith among us?

THEY'VE cor IT.

The sacred commonwealth of Massa- chusetts, where aboiitionism was era dled and nursed. if not born. and where the people have been wont to look on the negro at the South as at least as good as the white man. if not i-e-e- tie better: this old hot-bed of equal rights has color problem of its own. They are not native negroes. nor Southern negroes. but they are ne- groes, all the same. and they are caus- ing the whites to hold their noses and say things.
 These "gemmen ob color who are causing so much perturbation in the old Bay State. and especially in the Care Cod country are Portugese ne- groes from the Cape Verde islands, which islands belong to Portugal. . They are Africans who have settled and grown on the islands. some of them having an admixture of Portugese blood and others have not. but they are negroes In every sense of the word. and we are not surprised to learn from a contemporary that they "are very unpopular among the white people of Southeastern Massachusetts" That is q snperfiuous bit of information. how ever. for the colored people are not popular in any portion fc New England if they get In the way There is one feature of the matter that Is downright amusing. We learn that in some portions of the Cape Cod region the black children outnumber the white ones. and the parents of the latter do not like it. They seriously object to the contact of their children with the black Portugese, but Instead of boldly taking the bulls by the herns and establishing separate schools for the races. as honest and sensible people should do. they have gone about accomplishing the same object with true Yankee ingenuity. They have so gerrymandered the school districts as to practically get all the black chii- dren into one district and thus avoid mixing the babies without resorting to the awful Southern plan of separating the races. It is a very Yankefied way of accomplishing purpose. The Cape codders will please accept assurances of coincidence, coupled with the ad- vice that they might avoid the prob lem of mixed races by the simple and direct plan of establishing separate schools.

It is difficult to understand why the government of the United States should so persistently refuse to recoin the silver dollars and transform them into smaller coins. There are now in the vaults many millions more of silver dollars than there is any demand for, which is plainly shown by the fact that they remain in the vaults. If there was demand for them they would be taken from the treasury in
 exchange for other money. but the country does not need and will not have the enormous quantity Of cart

They are again threshing over the old question as to what is a gentleman. A high London authority gives 1t out
 that no man is entitled to be called a gentleman unless he or his forbears have been granted coat-of-arms.
 That leads The Omaha world-Herald
 to suppose. for example, a man Is driving a milk wagon for somebody
 else: he is no gentleman. Then he dis
 covers that his grandfather was once
 granted 8 coat-of- arms; he becomes
 by that fact a gentleman. On the strength of this distinction he gives
 up his job and starts driving a milk
 wagon of his own; having become a
 retailer he loses his right to the title of gentleman. He prospers in his bus mess and goes to wholesaling milk;
 the restriction being removed. he be- comes a gentleman once more. thus demonstrating that blood will tell Then business gets slack, his boys are growing up, and he finds that he has not enough money to send them to coll lege; once again the mantle of gentil- l-llJ 0EOpo hiAAi 0iAA AhS ID ~ NOAAAtAS- scrub again. In despair of making an honest living he becomes lawyer
 and, ipso facto. gentleman again, through the grace of parliament"
 That is a somewhat whimsical way to put it. but not more so than the
 subject itself. The idea that an act of
 Parliament can transform a boor into
 gentleman is about as absurd as the
 other belief that tailor can effect the change. AS a matter of fact there are gentlemen who do not bear coats-of- l arms or wear fine clothes. and there
 are others with both these advantages
 who are as thorough cads as ever
 walked the earth. It is a matter about | which there is little need to waste time
 In argument, however.

The supportejrs of MT. Conner do not talk so glibly about his having walk over for gubernatorial nomination. It was given out some time ago that he was to quit campaigning but if he ever had such a notion he has given 1t up. He is covering territory at rapid rate-not quite so rapidly as when he was whirling over the State in a spec iaI train provided for him free of cost by the railroads, but he is showing his anxiety by his numerous appointments.

PRESIDENT DENIES PLEA.
No Change to Be Made in Order Affecting
Colored Troops, Although Taft
Is Delaying Execution.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 2O.--De-
spite widespread criticism, many APP
peals for mercy and a formidable move
ment to obtain modification, President
Roosevelt has positively refused to
change his order dismissing a battalion
of negro troops without honor for the
Brownville, Tex, riot. This is the state
ment of Frederick Palmer, a correspond
ent with the President on his present
trip.
At the same time, through the infu-
ence of Representative Herbert Parsons
of New York the Constitutional Rights
league of New York and others, Secre-
tary Taft has been induced to give the
negro troops a little longer time for re-
Election, and he made an appeal to the
President.
The order of the President has been
practically suspended, and no further
action will be taken under it until the
President has been heard from again.
Only six members of the battalion have
actually been discharged at Fort Reno.
The President cannot make reply to
Secretary Taft's order until he arrives
ut Ponce Porto Rico.

POPE THREATENED;
u S. TO AID HIM.
Same Anarchist Who Exploded Bomb in
Cafe Is Blamed for Outrage
in St. Peters.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2O.-An
international concert of action for the
suppression of anarchy has been sug-
gested again as result of the explosion
of bombs in the Church of st. Peter
and the palace of the King of Italy in
Rome Secretary Root will be ap-
preached with the idea when he returns.
The United States is handicapped in
it's action because of the cardinal prin-
ciple of it's policy that no person shall
be eXtradited for political otfense.
Anarchists profess, of course, that po-
litical motives are responsible for their
acts.
Pope Is Threatened.
ROME, Nov. 20.-The Pope has re-
ceived personal letters containing
threats that he will be assassinated in
the apostolic palace as a protest against
the present organization of society. The
Anarchists, it is added are ready to
employ every means to destroy all insti-
tutions supported by religion or by mill
tary force.
Keeps Nail as Souvenir.
The Pope has kept one Of the nails
which formed the charge of the bomb
exploded yesterday in st. Peters, as a
souvenir. Many messages expressing in
dignation have been received by the
pontiff.
The police have failed to get clue.
Suspicion, however. points to the same
individual who exploded the bomb in
the Cafe Aragno on November IA.
Whole Catholic World Shocked.
Commenting on the outrage, the Os-
servatore Romano says:
THE explosion of a bomb in st. Pc
tiers is crime of great malignity and
audacity, and has caused serious appre-
hension throughout the Catholic world"
Scholars Slayer Is Caught.
NAPLES, Nov. 2O.-The Anarchist,
Saverio Lagana, who stabbed and killed
Prof. Giovanni Rossi of the University
of Naples Saturday night, has been ar
rested. The man had shaved off his
moustache, his eyebrows and even his
hair.
Lagana showed no signs of repent
ance, declaring: Il am not guilty, for it
was nay arm that committed this crime"
The funeral of Signor Rossi passed

FRANCE BARS OUR PORK.
Removal of Microscopic Examination by
New Meat Law Is the Cause for
Extensive Trouble.

PARIS, Nov. 2O.-The elimination of
the microscopic examination of pork
from the new American inspection reg
ulations has resulted in a preliminary
decision on the part of the French Gus
toms authorities barring American ham,
bacon, canned pork, etc.
After long diplomatic negotiations sew
eral years ago France agreed to admit
American pork upon government GER
tificate that it had been microscopically
examined and found sound. When the
new regulations instituted after the pack
ing disclosures, and under which the first
shipments are now on their way to
French ports, were submitted to the au-
thorities here, they ruled that they did
not comply with the old agreement.
Asnba ssador Mccormick under in
structions from Washington, made ener-
getic representations to the foreign Office,
pointing out that while the microscopic
examination had been eliminated the
new meat inspection was more rigorous
and more efficient.
