nation of the nomination Of District
Attorney Holton and an interesting
circumstance is that the opposition
has sprung from a Democratic source.
A Democrat who is known through
out the western part of the state has
asked that the nomination be held

inclined to the opinion that Mr.. Ho1-

No one here appears to have any idea

veloped opposition.
There has been much m~anOeuverilg
among Republicans with a view TO
gaining some strategical advantage
since the Carolina appointments were
transmitted to the Senate Monday by
the President. In some quarters there
appears to be a disposition to point
to the whole transaction as an or

Chairman Rollins was as much sur
I1ised as anybody when he was sum-
moned to Washington to hear what
the President had decided to do. Mr..
Rollins has acQuiesced in the slate
which called for the appointment Of
Mr.. Wagner as marshal to succeed
Mr.. Millikan, because he and Mr..
Blackburn had signed an agreement to
this effect and the President hal
promised to carry out the programme,
promised this without any reserva-
ton, and neither he nor his friends
vouchsafed any explanation of
this violated promise. Several weeks
ago Mr.. Rollins came to Washington
and called upon Mr.. Blackburn at the
Cochran Hotel. At this conference
Mr.. Rollins said he proposed to rec
ommend the removal of Mr.. Holton
and ask for the appointment of {. 6.
Bailey as collector, as heretofore

faction.

A revolution in the kind of money in
general circulation has been worked in
San Francisco by the disaster. For
merly it was all gold and silver but
now soft" money is the common
medium and to the surprise of every
body seems to answer every purpose.
If it remains in use there. the cir
cumstance will constitute one of the
radical differences between the old San
Francisco and the new. Heretofore
paper money in that city has been used
only at the banks and hotels. In the
ordinary channels of circulation there
was none of it. The wage-earner re-
ceived his pay in coin; with it paid MS
living expenses, and so seldom saw a
banknote that he hardly realized the
existence of such medium; while the
small shopkeeper refused paper money
when rendered by a stranger on the
plea that he was So unfamiliar with it
that he could not tell the real from
counterfeit.

A Chicago War Scare.

Chicago has a war scare and is see
ing q feet of British battleships lying
in its harbor making ready to smash
the city into ruins. 1t sounds funny
and the st. Louis and Kansas CITY
papers persist in thinking that it is
funny. but Chicago takes it very seli-
ouSlv. With America at peace with
all the world and with Chicago a thou
sand miles from the coast it seems a
little unreasonable for the Chicago
people to worry about a bombardmcnt
from hostile fleet. There was some
slight excuse for the coast cities that
got nervous in 1923, though the degree
exhibited made them appear exce"d-
ing1y ridiculous. but what possible OK
cuse is there for Chicago at this time?
Well, Chicagos particular bugbear is
England. Something like 125 years ago
England and the United States agreed
not to maintain any war vessels on the
Great lakes. While both countries
have kept to this agreement. it is
claimed that England has been quietly
tory by means of which it could bring
feet of warships from the Atlantic
into the Great lakes that would batter
Chicago into a junk pile with neatness
and dispatch. ''What could we do?"
asked a speaker. frantically, of the
Chicago Commercial Association the
other night. By way of answering
himself he demanded, in the name of
peace, war and humanity, that Congress
Immediately deepen the channel of the
Mississippi river so that, should
Chicago be threatened from the north,
fleet of our own vessels could hurry
around to the mouth of the Mississippi
and sneak in by way of the back door
and save Chicago. OF course, it would
be merely matter of some three weeks
and several thousand miles to get the
North Atlantic squadron from it's usual
haunts to the Chicago stock yards. but
the very fact that such protection could
be counted upon in an emergency
would make Chicago feel easy. If a
British fleet could get at Chicago by
way of the Great Lakes it might also
by way of the Mississippi if it were
deepened as desired. Perhaps what
was designed to save Chicago from for
eisn fleets might only hasten its ies
truction by them. Ii is a monumental
problem and the country viii give ii
| due attention.

Opinions will differ as to this pro-

athletes will hereafter be allowed to
play on summer baseball teams. The
Observation-Disclosures involved in play
ing on summer teams is. in the eye of
the purist, an unquestioned evil In
practice. however. it is so difficult to
detect such an offence that to ignore it
may be the best policy. 1t is difficult
for a country lad not to play with old
schoo1-fellows on local teams which
divide a pittance from occasional gate
money. Where it is still permissible
and even commendablc for q college
student to become a waiter and take
tips, it is difficult to make it seem i'm
proper to play baseball for hotel

an amateur should keep his skirts

That Is curious story which comes
from Washington about the Turkish
minister. 1t seems that although
Chekib Bey, the representative of the
Sultan to this government. has been
i'm Washington four years he has never
yet presented his credentials and two
very remarkable reasons are given for
this unusual condition of things. One
of the explanations of Chekib Bey's
long delay in presenting his credentials
is that the credentials must, of course,
be made out to President Roosevelt,
and that nobody in Constantinople
dares to tell Abdul Hamid that Presi-
dent Mckinley has been assassinated
The Sultan's morbid horror on the
subject of the assassination of his fell
low rulers is well known and has been
often described in print. None of his
officials dares to mention political
aSSaSSina tons to him, for fear as much
of the consequences to themselves as
of the effect OH the Sultan's happiness.
He has never been informed of the
murder of Mckinley, and still supposes
the latter to be President of the United
States. Hence Chekib Beys creden-
tials are addressed to Mckinley, and,
until some one mustcrs up courage to
tell Abdul Hamid of the event at Buff
falo and of the subsequent history of
the United States. Chckib Bey will
never get the right credentials.
This is the official Turkish explana-
ton. Another, unofficial, but contain
ing some credence among certain dip
ton correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger. is that, while this version was
undoubtedly true in the first place, it
is no longer so. Those who hold to
this second version believe that, while
Abdul Hamid never learned of McKin-
ley's assassination he has been in
formed of the presidential election of
1904. The reason why Chekib does not
present his credentials now, they say
is that the condition of things during
the time that Abdul was kept in igno-
rance of Roosevelts elevation to the
presidency proved highly convenient to
the Turkish foreign office, and it is de-
sirable to keep it up. The relations
between Turkey and the United States
are peculiar. We are frequently obliged
to send warships to Smyrna and other
places to make demonstration" Alb
dull is in a chronic state of owing the
United States money and of not being
willing to pay up. 1t is never inpos-
sible that the United States may find
it desirable to give Turkish minister
his passports for the sake Of further
impossible, however, to give passports
to a minister who has never presented
his credentials. This state of things
gives great satisfaction to the Turkish
foreign office. say those who tell the
story, and there is no likelihood that
it will speedily be changed The whole
affair gives us Il new realization of the
tricky ways of Turkish diplomacy.
