The Middle in Morocco.

! What is all this Morocco muddle
about anyway? Most of US have
very vague idea of it except as we have
observed from the newspaper headlines
| this summer that French troops and
warships have been more or less active
there and that the Moors have been
slaughtered in a somewhat wholesale
| fashion The center of the trouble is
troops have been in possession of that
CITY for several weeks. A Spanish force
is cooperating with them there and
assists in policing the town, and so
active are the fanatical Moors in the
suburbs that the combined forces are
virtually undergoing voluntary state
of siege. with the protection of their
warships in the harbor.
But the problem is a good deal more
the preservation Of order in a single
city. The whole empire is in a fer
ment and holy war is brewing as
result Of the increased number of Euro
peans who have been going to that
section Of Africa. The Sultan of Mo-
rocco has little authority over his own
people and in Europe they doubt his
good faith toward the powers who have
agreed among themselves to preserve
a. ;.,fa e l,;e Do Jy Of
all these complications is the feeling
Of each of these European powers that
the others are playing it false in this
Moroccan business.
The German Empire mcddled unnec-
essarily in Moroccan affairs two years
ago ard stirred up jealous feeling
which has refused to die down. France
ana Spain seem to have stood scrupu-
lously by their agreement to play the
part of policemen, but their presence
causes continual irritation in Morocco
and stimulates the race hatred and re
ligious fanaticism which find such fer
tile soil in the heart of a Mohamtncdan
nation. If any one Of the European
powers were left to itself it could prob
ably handle the situation by carrying
on a war Of invasion and conquest, al
though the cost in life and money
would doubtless be something Stupen-
do,ls. Any of the powers would doubt
|, IS be willing pay such a cost, how
ever, if left free to indemnity itself
from the conquered country. for annex
alton would inevitably be the victor's
price.
If the other powers will not acquic see
in such a war by one of their number
there is a possibility of a joint cXredi-
ton such as was executed against
China during the Boxer troubles, with
the resulting loot and slaughter and
over indemnity extracted
from a helpless people. The Moroccan
question which Europe has on its
hands is therefore 4 very tangled one
and one with no solution in sight, but
on the contrary every proba bility that
the unrest and bloodShed will continue
for many years.

DEMOCRATS NOW
BOOM CHANLER.
Lieutenant Governor of New
York Regarded as
Available Man.

WASHINGTON, Sept Washing
ton has heard more talk about the pos
sible democratic nominee for the ,presi-
dency in 1908 in the last few days
than for weeks together since last
spring. and if one were to believe all
of the gossip that is going the rounds
in political circles the whole business
has already been fixed up and there
is nothing to it but Lewis Stuyvesant
Chanler, lieutenant governor of New
York. Beyond doubt it would be go
ing too far to say that the bosses have
got Chambers nomination already ar
ranged so that there win be nothing
for the convention to do but to ratify
their choice. But there is ample evil
dence that, SO far as surface indica-
lions show, ten months before the con-
vention Chanler is regarded in many
influential quarters as the most avail
able man to carry the democratic
banner next year.
One Of the things that had to be &C
complished before anyone else could be
seriously considered as even possible
nominee was the elimination of Will
liam j. Bryan. According to prominent
Southern democrats this feat has ac-
tually been performed Mr. Bryan's
Southern friends stuck to him manful-
ly, but the leaders from that section
who have been in Washington recently
are almost unit in declaring that Mr..
Bryan as a personal factor in demo-
cratic politics no longer carries much
weight with them.
The reasons that impel these same
Southern democrats to regard Mr..
Chanler as the most available man,
rather than some one of the numerous
better known men, are various. Chief
among them is the fact which always
looms large in democratic eyes-that
Mr.. Chanler carried New York 1t
was that argument, and that alone
that gave Alton B. Parker the nominal
ton in 1904, but the leaders who are
conducting the Chanler boom say that
the cases are not parallel. Mr.. Chan
Ter, they say, is young and energetic,
and if he has not set the Hudson river
afire it is because he has not had the
opportunity to do So They also say
that the speeches he has been making
have provided plenty of good campaign
material which viii come in quite
handy.
OF course there are plenty of demo-
cratic leaders who have their own ideas
on the subject and have not yet come
to the front and declared for Chanler.
But the Chanler boomers are making
the most noise, and sober observers
think there is a good deal of real senti-
ment behind the noise. Such men as
Daniel of Virginia are highly regarded
and respected, but the old argument
against the nomination of southern
man-that the South will go demo-
cratic anyhow-seems likely to prevail
against any candidate, however able,
from below Mason and Dixon's line.
The one thing, though, that seems to
be perfectly clear and we'll settled in
the minds of the most astute politicians
Of both parties, is that Mr.. Bryan as a
candidate for 1908 has finally been
eliminated.
