In Mennoriam.

IT was a Mr. Van Winkle-referred to IA
military as rRip-wl1o- observed, sadly on
ONO occasion. How soon we are forgot
when We are gone!' Yea, verify
Did anybody at Saratoga mention the
name either of Thomas C. Plat or Chaun-
csv NJ. Depew? The dispatches did not. 1t
was as il they had never lived. A rev
months ago, when Mr.. Odell and Mr. Piatt'
after long and bitter separation. met ana
conferred, and Mr. Odell was claiming
everything, IL was stated that the APP
preaching republican state convention
would give Mr.. Platt the reception or his
life His appearance as a delegate was 10
be the occasion Of demonstration DreaK-
ing the record for enthusiasm. The OLD
leader was to be acclaimed as still
leader and worthy OF all honor He not
only did not attend, but the work OF the
convention did not show the impress OF MS
hand in any feature. Neither the candi-
date nor the platform owed anything What-
ever to MI. Platt
For many years Mr. Depew has been a
toast at such gatherings. His stories filled
the hotel Hobbies with laughter. and his
speeches entertained the delegates highly.
A republican state convention without Mr..
Depew would have been very dull affair.
and the nominations hardly regular. This
time it was as II the man had never been
born. The peach" down and out was alb
sent and no man seemed to miss him.
Did anybody at Buffalo mention the name
either OF David B. Hill or Richard Croker?
The telegraph did not. 1t was as II they
had never lived. The one man was not SO
far away. But had he been in Hongkong
his influence on the democratic convention
would not have been less. The other man
was in Europe in sort of exile, and, for
all practicai purposes, dead as door nail.
His two former leutenants, Bourke Cock
ran and Thomas F. Grady, were present at
the beck and call of new chief. and doing
and speaking his bidding. Few of the
old Crokerian crowd appeared. and
one of them, tie gifted but unfortunate Sui
ger, was run over, as il he had been an
incautious small boy in the path Of a stam-
peded herd. His standing with the old chief
availed him nothing.
Will these performances be repeated in
1905? VIII Mr.. Plat and Mr.. Depew on the
one side, and Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Croker on
the other, stay dead? Are they to have no
voice in the naming OF delegates to the
national conventions of their respective par
ties that year? Mr.. Croker Is the only one
OF the four who has sisnified choice for
President. He favors Mr.. Bryan; but as
matters stand in New York what can he
do for him? What will Mr.. Hearst say?.

Pension Figures.

At every national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic comment is
made on the number of veterans who have
fallen out OF line and answered the last
call. 1t requires no feat Of the imagination
to understand that men who participated in
the great conflict that began forty-ive
years ago and closed forty-one years ago
are rapidly passing away. Children now
frolicking at their mothers knee will,
when grown to manhood or to womanhood.
regard with awe a venerable survivor of
Americas bloody age.
All this is borne forcibly upon ones un-
derstanding by figures contained in the last
annual report of the commissioner Of pen
sions, summarized in last evenings Star.
In that document it is shown that the
number of pensioners dropped from the
rolls during the year because Of death was
As, 3OO-men enough to form an army.

Storm Warnings.

The weather bureau announces the ap-
proach of another tropical storm When
noted 1t was moving toward the Yucatan
channel from the east. The great hurricane
of last week came through the Yucatan
channel.
The weather bureau in sending out warn
ing of the coming of great storms, does an
important service to mankind over and
above the daily routine of forecasting TO-
cal showers" ''easterly Winds" '.gener-
ally rising temperature" etc.
Warning of the approach of the late gulf
hurricane was sent out by the weather men.
In the Sunday papers Of September % the
weather bureau announced that a severe
tropical storm had arisen in the West In
dies, near the island of Grand Cayman, and
that 1t would probably pass to the north
west through the Yucatan channel On the
next day the hurricane was announced as

The New York Campaign.

We should hear nothing further to the
effect that the President will take no part
In the New York contest. Mr.. Hughes
must have been invited to ride as far as
Trenton yesterday, and between Jersey
City and the New Jersey capital much
must have been said. The one man, we
may be sure, outlined his campaign. and
the other. with suggestions. approved 1t.
In a very large sense Mr.. Hughes is the
Presidents own choice. Herbert Parsons
spoke the word, but he received 1t at oyster
Bay. The republicans were at sea. GOV.
Higgins had many warm friends, Mr. Par-
sons himself was under discussion Tor the
nomination, and Mr.. Hughes figured in all
the talk Finally, when Gov. Higgins re-
fused the use of his name, 1t was pract1-
cally put up to- Mr.. Roosevelt to say the
word. and Hughes it was.
Then II should be remembered that Mr..
Roosevelt is a citizen of New York, and
properly is interested In the contest. He
Is not Quitting in" He has vote there,
and will cast it on election day. With as
much right, therefore, as Gov. Higgins or
anybody else openly favorable to Mr..
Hughes, Mr.. Roosevelt signifies his con-
Germ for the success of the man he has
helped to nominate.
But Ii Is on the other side OF the renee
that the topic for.the more sensational talk
is found. Mr.. Hughes owes no more to Mr..
Roosevelt as respects the Saratoga nom-
ination than Mr.. Hearst does to Mr. Muir
ply as respects the nomination made al
Buffalo No Murphy, no Hearst 1t was the
Tammany leader, using the full power OF
his organization-and that barely sufficient
who dominated at Buffalo. He talked Tim
Sullivan away from Sulzer. and with his
assistance beat down Sulzer and cleared
the way for Hearst. Anti-Hearst delegates.
regularly selected. were thrown out of the
convention by the dozens. and delegates
whom Murphy could control seated in their
stead.
And vet the creature is belaboring MS
creator in the days of his youth. Mr. Hearst
is still telling the people that he is against
MIR. Murphy and asking them to believe
that if erected governor he will be wholly
above the Murphy influence. Isn't TINS
bunco a little too rank even for New YORK,
where bunco thrives and the public from
long indulgence has lost its nicer sense OF
things? Are votes to be got by such arrant
and transparent humbug? Can the two
men. the belaborer and the belabored, keep
their faces straight during six weeks OF a
slapstick humpty-dumpty business OF TINS
kind? 1t is the funniest Of all the funny
things OF the year.

TamManyl
From the Baltimore Sun.


Tammany is the oldest political associa-
ton in New York. It began in the admins.
tration of George Warrington. and 10 about
as old as the Constitution. It has numbered
among its members many Of the best ana
purest of American citizens and many OF
the worst and most corrupt. Aaron Burr
was a member of Tammany, and William
NJ. Tweed brought it down to the lowest
depths of degradation. And yet Tammany
still lives and dominates the dominant party
Of the greatest OF American cities. Its vi
tally Is marvellous. its strength enormous.
To the people of the United States the Or
ganization Is inseparably connected in the
public mind with political graft and all kinds
Of governmental corruption and misuse Of
Office Doubtless the public outside OF New
York does Tammany some injustice in its
estimate. But it may well be doubted
whether Tammany has not lost to the ma
tional democracy more votes than 1t has
had to give. Since the municipal patronage
of New York city has assumed such enor-
nous proportions, since the city budget has
become as great as that of a kingdom. 1t
has been the aim and object of Tammany
to control the public Offices and the public
funds. and the general impression In that In
order to do 50 it Is always willing to sac
rifice the best interests Of the democratic
party In state and nation.

Creedmore.

There is familiar sound in that word
"Creedmore' that comes over the wires to-
day. 1t revives memories of many great
rifle matches. Firing began on the Creed
more ranges today between a team repre-
senting the 7th Regiment, National Guard
of New York, and team Of the Queens
Westminster Volunteers, for possession of
the Anglo-American Ahallenge shield. The
shield is held by the English regiment, the
rife team of the 7th New York having been
narrowly defeated in England last year.
Interstate and international rifle contests
do much to encourage the sport and art of
long-range rifle shooting. and they are
worthy of the attention and the attendance
they commonly attract.

passing through that channel: and warnings
were sent to gulf and South Atlantic ports.
On Tuesday the storm was reported IN the
gulf, though 1t had not struck land, ana
second warning was sent to those ports
which It was thought would be affected BY
the disturbance. Wednesday the forecasters
dispatched warnings that within twenty
four hours the storm would strike the coast
most probably between the Mississipp'
river and the west coast Of Florida. The
forecast was accurate.
This excellent service has been made pos
sible by the establishment Of observatory
stations in the West Indies. It is proposed
to establish a line of weather stations from
the Windward Islands southwesterly across
the north part of South America over to
the Galapagos Islands.

Hughes Service.
From the New York Times.

There is something wrong with Mr..
Hearsts description Of his opponent az a

facts. It Is untrue. Mr.. Hughes highest
distinction in professional practice has been
in behalf Of the people against the trusts

voters who listen to his speeches must
know these things. What do they think
about 1t? Can they retain undiminished
confidence in a man who so grossly deceives
them?
