Truly Rare" June DAYS.

Trading on Roosevelt,s Name

We may all readily believe that the Presi-
dent has no thought of interfering in the
matter of the Illinois ScnatOrShip. Hr. Hop
kinS who holds the office. is a very capable
man. while Mr. Mason. who aspires to It,
is a man Of experience. who having served
in the senate one term. would be glad to
return to the arena. Both are clever poll
tlcians, and the contest should prove one of
unusual interest, even in that state. where
politics has always been played with great
energy and skill From the early days poll
ticians in the Sucker state have earned the
honors they secured. Mr.. Lincoln and
Judge Douglas fifty years ago set a pace
which has tried all those who have entered
races since.
Bur in the report that the President had
& preference and would manifest it may be
seen something of the influence that still
attaches 10 his name His popularity con-
tiuu"s. lie is acclaimed wherever he APP
pears as heartily ever. His Office, of
course. enters into the equation, but it does
not 10y any means account for the enthusi-
asm which both his appearances and deliver
aUCrs occasion. The people still like him.
and many OF them defer greatly to his
Judgment as to men we'll as to meas
ures. Probably those who heard this story
about the Hopkins Mason contest felt be-
fore the denial reached them that the
Presidents wishes would decide it.
There is reason to believe that here and
there are men trading on the Presidents
power and his personal friendship. They
have plans and ambitions of their own with
which they would be glad to connect him in
an Indirect way. There are votes, as they
think. in the magic of his name. And so
in advertising themselves for him they seek
II advertise him as for them.
In this manner the volume of the third
term talk has been materially increased.
Il did not so originate, for there are many
men. asking nothing for themselves and
taking purely disinterested view OF public
questions. who hope to see the next re-
publican national convention put the party

Greene and Gaynor Lose Appeal.

Seven years ago last December a federal
grand jury at Savannah returned an in
dictment charging Benjamin d. Greene and
John f. Gaynor with conspiracy to defraud
the United States in connection with the
river and harbor work in that vicinity in
collision with Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter of
the United States Engineer Corps. For
several years they were in Canada,
whittier they had fed to avoid trial, fighting
extradition. The federal government per-
sisted. and at great expense finally secured
their return to this country, but only upon
an appeal to the government at London.
The men were returned to Savannah and
were there convicted and Sentenced to spend
four years in Jail and to pay fine aggre-
eating so75OOO. approximately equal to the
sum in which they had mulcted the United
States. The defendants, of course appealed
their case, and the other day the United
States court of appeals, sitting at New Or
leans rendered an opinion sustaining, by
majority vote, the findings and verdict Of
the lower court. A dispatch from Savannah
relating to this decision embraces the fol-
lowing paragraph:
The attorneys for Greene and Gaynor
will not discuss the case, but it is expected
that they will carry 1t to the United States
Supreme Court
Any other expectation would be absurd,
considering the history of the case. Greene
and Gaynor are evidently bound to go down
into history as the champion appellants of
their day. They have already spent more
time and perhaps more money fighting the
case than their full penalties. If they had
stood trial in the United States promptly
upon their indictment and submitted to the
verdict rendered they would be now free
men with cash in their pockets. Instead,
they have been fugitives from justice for
several years and prisoners pending the
final adjudication of their cases for term
much longer than that prescribed for their
punishment, while their legal expenses
have been enormous, including, it is whis-
pered, certain OUTLAWS in Canada in connec-
ton with their fight for e.itradition, an in
vestigation of which might seriously en-
barrass some of the Dominion authorities.
The United States has fought this case
with the greater determination because of
the wiles and tricks of the defendants. 1t
has properly regarded it as test of it's
power to enforce its own laws. If Greene
and Gaynor could have evaded trial. or
having been returned to this country, could
have escaped on technicalities, the example
set would haye been deplorably bad 1t is
still. of course, within the possibilities that
their appeal to the United States Supreme
Court may result in a reversal of the judg-
ment of the trial court and that of the cir
cult court of appeals. This would involve
renewal of the long and costly process of
trial. possibly the release of the prisoners
Immediately on the ground that their ex-
tradition on one charge and their trial on
another was an unwarranted procedure.

Harry Orchards Story.

From the New York Tribune.
If any human being could have commit
ted the crimes that Harry Orchard con-
fessed to in Boise on Wednesday and yes
terday he would have told about them pre-
cisey as Harry Orchard told his story.
Cold, dull passionless and even-voiced the
dispatches agree he was on the witness
stand; he told his horrible tale without hor-
ror, and, be it noted without pride, with
out the Wanting of the familiar ill-bal-
anced, egotistic wretch who boasts of enor-
nous crimes he never committed. Orchard
attitude on the stand was psychologically
correct. BY his own account he had made
q trade of murder, and he retailed assassi-
nations In that matter Of fact way in which
a man speaks of his trade. There is no
glory in trade and there is no shame in q
trade. and if a man be of such a nature
that he may make murder his trade there
is neither pride nor shame In 1t. If he had
exulted we should think he was lying If
he. had recoied from the telling Of his tale
half as much as the average man recoils
from the reading of \ we should doubt il
he were not too much like the rest of hu-
manity TO have gone about numbering in
such a wholesale way. But his brutal lack
of feelinsaOn the witness stand bespeaks a
brutal character that could have made
murder trade. There nothing in the
way 1t was told that makes the tale in
herently Incredible.

'Tis certain and sure
That he will secure

And perhaps even pay,
If he just has a megaphone voice.

A Contrite Castro.

There are indications that Cipriano Cas-

illness. He read a message to the Vene-

course of it gave assurances that the in

soon be liQuidated and that efforts were
now being made to SECURE resumption OF
diplomatic relations with France and CO.

quence of quarrels. But one of the most
anna ing and at the same time gratifying
paragraphs ever contained in Venezuelan
state paper was that described in the fol-
lowing sentences of the news dispatch:
