CHARLES E. UGHES.

The President makers must find their attention diverted from the particular task they have set themselves by the growing popularity of Governor Charles E. Hughes of the State of New York. By sticking to the business assigned him and by making 1t pay handsome dividend in needed legislation and in the improvement in the tools of govern ment he has automatically and logical ly become a presidential probability He is rising in the estimation of the people exactly as Grover Cleveland did when he was governor of that State.
 The Glens Falls Times, newspaper Of much political note in northern New York and power in the councils of the Republican party throughoutS the State, says with significant dellbera- tion: "The character of Governor Hughes represents the hope of men who constitute the great majority of our people, their trust In the conserving power of uncompromislng honesty, their faith in the supremacy of justice, and their belief that right makes might in every contest which man is called upon to endure" President Schurman of Cornell University, in his address to this years graduating class the other day made this reference to Governor Hughes: Tt is an old saying that oc- casion breeds the men. This truth I find illustrated before our own eyes. If the public service of our day calls for men of clarity of vision, of sanity of judgment, of integrity of purpose. men of this type are not lacking. If you want names I know none more com manding than that of our former Cor nell professor who Is now attracting the eyes of the nation by his splendid administration as governor of our state.' IL is also the belief of that vet eran political observer Marse Henry Wattersou of Kentucky, that Governor Hughes is slowly approprlating the pole in the race.
 The coming of Governor Hughes as presidential Likelihood is immensely in- teresting. It suggests strongly that the popular impression of things official

syndicate agreement gives a presump- ton that the Chinese text was to be authoritative, and, acting on this, the Chinese claim that they have not ex- ! eeeded their rights. There are seri- ous discrepancies In the two texts. The syndicate claims that the English text gives 1t the "sole right; the Chinese contend that the Chinese text gives only special privilege" as against other foreign syndicates. The English text gives the syndicate the right to apply for a permit. provided the pro- posed works are not injurious to the place" while the Chinese text states that a permit will be issued if local conditions present no obstacle" But local conditions, in view of the syndi- cate's claim to a monopoly, do pre- sent an obstacle, therefore the Chinese decline to issue a permit In it's pros- pectus, the syndicate claims that 1t has the sole right for sixty years to mine coal throughout 2O,000 square miles in Shan-si Province, the richest lcoal-mining district in the world
 whose people are almost wholly de- pendent upon this industry. It claims that throughout this area all Chinese mines opened since May 21, 1898, are to be excluded or closed down, but it Is ready to concede to natives mining In the old way, with native methods and native capital, the privilege of working their mines so long as they do not invade the syndicates permit area or enter into competition with the syndicate.
 Dr. Morrison intlmates that the Brit ish are trying to do in Shan-si exact ly what they denounced the Germans for trying to do in shan-tung. This is possible, and Dr. Morrison does well in calling attention to the situation. The British will do well not to be pig gish in this matter.

The more in fact one studies this con- troversy and watches its progress, the more transparent 1t becomes that even if the teachers have made mistakes in their campaign they are still more sinned against than shining What they have done they have been goaded to. and 1t is yet true that what they ask for in the matter of wages they deserve.

NO cLEAk DEFINITION TIT.

Brother Bryan's attempt to answer the inquiry what is Democrat? is not very satisfying. He doesn't seem to know what Democrat is any better than those who call themselves Demo- crats know. And he points out that even those who are Democrats will not be the real thing until they fall in love with the Initiative and Referendum. What Democrat ought to be is thus vaguely and sonorously set forth: h a broader sense. he is a Democrat who believes In the rule of the people and who desires to make the government the instrument in the hands of the peo- rle to carry out their will. Such a man trusts the people and favors such re- forms as will give to the people an in- creasing power. And real Democrat will not only favor Democratic meth- ods in government and insist upon the right of the majority to rule, but will favor the administration of the govern ment in the interest of the whole peo- pie according to the Jeffersonian maxim.
 Perhaps things will so arrange them selves that man who votes for Broth CT Bryan next year will be considered by him a good-enough Democrat. Until then Democracy will perhaps continue somewhat vague.

SAFE THE EISTEDDFODS.

The times are out of joint in several ways, but when the Eisteddfods are en- dangered it is time to sit up and take notice. Speaking at the Bala Choir Eis- teddfod, Harry Evans, the adjudlcator, said that Welsh tenors were degenerat- ing and were becoming positive nuis- ance at many eisteddfods through the objectionable vibrato characteristics of their performances. A few years ago they had tenors who shouted them- selves red in the face, and then they had the high collared tenor with a fin- nlcking tone in the back of his head, but nowadays the tenor was a sort of bad bleat. Welsh choirs failed in com petitions through tenors playing around the correct notes with vibrato voice The introduction of the vibrato was a vanity causing utter ruin to the voice, 1t was becoming a musical disease in Wales, and the sooner they stamped It out the better it would be for Welsh singing.
 Stamp the bleating out. Let no harm come to the eisteddfods. Life would be gloomy enough in Wales without eis- teddfods. and it would lack something In this country which couldn't be fully made up by even the Initiative and Referendum, which are always good words.

4 DOVE.

The other day a dove flew into the house of representatives at Hartford, and some imaginative observers thought 1t might be the dove of peace. Subsequent proceedings have knocked the stufflng out of that pleasing notion. As the dove was shooed out and has not come back perhaps imagination might make another effort and call it like the dove which Noah sent out of the ark, and which knew enough to stay out. Noah perceived then that he was going to land somewhere and some time. Perhaps the legislature, after long floating on sea of words which has of ten been made exceedingly rough by storms of rage, is about to land. If it is there will be sincere joy when the honest old ark that was built within the appropriation is clear of the Noah family and the no account family.

4 FAITHFUL ITO UND.

Faithful are the wounds of friend. Dr. Morrison, the well-known corre- spondent of the London Times at Pe- king, explains that the Chinese have a very good case in resisting the de- mands of the Picking Syndicate in re- gard to the rich mining district of Shan-si and says that the British government, in demanding a compen- sation in the syndlcate's behalf of $1,- 900 a day until the required permits are issued, is acting unjustly under a misapprehension. He points out that clause twenty of the Shan-si conces- sion provided that the agreement should be written in a Chinese and a foreign text, English not being speci- fled. In every other agreement signed by England and China a clause has al- ways been inserted specifying that the English text shall be authoritative. The omission of such clause in the

 You'll share my joys, my comfort be, When I'm confronted with despair? When fortune frowns of course you may This kindly promise recolleet, But I'll be bound you'll come and say: "You're getting what you might ex-

 Our economic stability depends to no small extent upon clear understanding of what the new movement toward corporations. in the hands of It's sanc directors really means The last thing 1t means is persecution. though there Ire many extremists who interpret 1t as license for such policy, and act ac- cordingly It is not the rich men of the country who own its wealth, says Judge Grosseup, but the people, and the for mer are. as a rule, the borrowers of those who have thirteen billions laid away in the banking institutions of the country.

is swinging from the spectacular to the substantial In many respects he is a novelty in the political line He had no ambition to be governor and on one has right to now attribute to him an am- bition to be President, though the man has probably not yet been discovered who would decline the honor, He Is enjoying the new found popularity be- cause he combines with his evident honesty an aptitude for enforcing hls judgment quietly but effectively. He is not at home in addressing the grand stand and what preaching he does re- lates to the urgent business in hand and not to things more appropriately referred to the pulpit for treatment. In many respects, too, he is the most fin- ished product we have in executive of- flee to-day of the materials which go to make an attractive personality in responsible office. He realizes the prob lems which confront the people but he prefers to get at them with the instru- ments of experience rather than with those of experiment; with the rod of wisdom rather than with the big stick

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
The Evcr-Burning Race Question.

tThe Charleston News and Courier)
 The race question exists wherever the two races live together on the same soil. Tn the opinion of Abraham Lin coin 1t is utterly impossible for two di- verse races to live together on terms of equality on the same soil It is so in Rochester as it is in Charleston; 1t Is more so In Rochester than 1t Is in Charleston. Why not be frank about 1t ? Why not tell the truth about it? The race question is In the blood. None of the negroes in Rochester lives on terms of equality with their white neighbors. Our contemporary knows this better than we. If the white people of Roches- ter were situated as the white people of Charleston are, and as the white people of other Southern communities where the colored population forms so large an element of the community, we shudder to think what would be the fate of the negroes subjected to their tender mereies.

NOT cRuEL IND rNHnMAN.

An Indianapolis judge has decided that the fact that husband absented himself from home now and then for the purpose of enjoying a friendly game of poker at the house of friend did not constitute "cruel and inhuman treatment of his wife in the meaning of the law.
 This will look entirely reasonable to the husbands who absent themselves from home for the purpose of enjoy ing a friendly game of poker at the house of friend. It will not look quite as reasonable to some of the wives who are left at home. Perhaps there would be some encouragement In de- cison that wives who absent them selves from home now and them for the purpose of enjoying a friendly game of bridge are not cruel and inhuman.

THE SAME FOLKS.

So far June has not justified the
 poets, though she has been acting somewhat naturally this week. And isn't human nature the queer stuff? How tired of the winter the folks did Iget. They earnestly sought Spring and found it not. Then they sought Summer and have found little of it. And. now what say they? Is 1t hot enough for you? they ask, and the complaining answer is, Yes, or Yes, indeed!
 Let us not repine. We have at last what we wanted The corn Is way ing Annie dear, and beginning to re- joice. Why should mortals be dis contented when even corn is happy ? There may be more good weather for corn. There probably will be, When there is let us rejoice with the corn and look forward to Johnny y-cale time. 1 If there are those who can't be cheer ed in this way they can look forward to coal-carryng and now-shovelling, That will comfort them, as it did last winter, when they hoped to be allow cd to live to see the golden and glori- ous days of Summer.
