All over the State Of New York thore

cans who are sick at heart and sick at their
stomacbs at the fashion in which their
party is being conducted. They are not

1t is a curious but unmistakable fact
that there are two dominant yet contra
dictory emotions In the Republican field
to-day. One is fervent and passionate
desire to be delivered from the present
plague Of petty satraps. bosslets and boss
kins. who are not either collectively or
individually even near bosses In the

Sultans to the caliphate Is that thy are
de facto guardians Of the holy places,
Mecca, Medina and Jerusalem. That Is
no warranty at all in the eyes OF the
Arabs; and to the Wahabis, who inhabit
the interior Of the Arabian peninsula, the
assumption of spiritual authority by
the Ottoman rulers is nothing short OF
blasphemo,is.
But where, II may be asked, II the
Ottoman Sultans are to be deprived
Of the caliphal dignity, could a candi-
date for the caliphate be found who
would satisfy the conditions prescribed
by Sunnite Mohammedans? As matter
Of fact there is more than one Arab living
in the Ottoman Empire who can prove
his descent from the tribe Of Koreish
and from the family OF MoHAMMED
and who can meet the other exactions
Of orthodox theologians, which are that
he must have reached manhood, be OF
sound body and mind, freeman, learned
in Islamic law, Of just judgment and
good counsel. Mr.. GEORGE BIRDwooD,
who speaks as an expert on Mohamme-
dan subjects, has lately vouched in Che
London Times for the existence Of such
persons, but has refrained from naming g
them, recalling the fact that the true
claimant of the caliphate mentioned by
him some thirty years ago quickly there
after lost his life.
1t is not necessary that the caliphal
authority and the temporal sovereignty
should coexist In the same person. For
centuries, during which they exercised
spiritual supremacy over Sunnite Moham-
medans, the Abbassid Csliphs retained
no temporal power. There Is, then,
no historical reason why the Turkish
reformers should not, as a matter OF
precaution, divorce the caliphate from
the temporal sovereignty Of the House
Of Othman.

SIR-It was doubtless Mr.. Raymond Blathwayt's
fault that he got Ice water instead OF hot wdter In
bis New York hotel as he tells US In the Daap Aoa
OF Friday last.
An English friend stopping at New York hotel
told mo the same pathetic story. Arriving, he
wanted hot water and pressed the electric button
once. Up popped q small dsrky buttons" and
deposited q silver pitcher Of leo water on the
manteL- Ny friend. not knowing this had any
thing TO do with his ring. pressed the button again
and another buttons. blacker than the preceding
one. sprang into HIS doorway and deposited sec
ond pitcher OF the same cooling beverage on the
marble msntel. A third. fourth. NTH and sixth
ring brought that numbef OF additional pitchers of
Ice water for the msntel Then In despair the
guest went down 70 the hotel clerk and asked why
he could not get houscmaid, and he was told that
one ring always meant Ice water and to ring three
times sharply brought the housemaid
'fHotw please I" said the now exasperated
Englishman.
-Shurc. bilin' hot II Is. day an noiehtl" replied
Bridget o'Flannagan. who may one day be Msyoress

Tho Raisers Of tho Wind.

ELL CLAYTON and the Hon. CORNELIUS
NEWTON BLISS may look back with long

porations could be bled by request and
there was no infamous law against their
response to the touch political. The
Hon. WILLIAM NELSON CROMWELL has
had a capacious experience. The Hon.
WINTHROP MURRAY CRANE Is a coun-
sellor in either politics or business whose
sagacity, calm judgment and genius for
doing much and saying nothing make
him invaluable to the national Repub-
lican party as he long has been to the Re-
publicans of Massachusetts,. Mr.. JOHN
HAYS HAMMOND Is Of brilliant distinction
In his profession and in affairs and has q
very wide and important circle Of friends
in many States. The Hon. FRANKLIN
MURPHY is an able politician Of the
older school, business man Of emlnence
and acquainted. presumably, with the
now difficult art OF inducing the pro-
tected manufacturers to keep the Demo-
cratic wolf and Free Trade from the
door. Mr.. RICHARD BALLINGER Is de-
scribed as "one Of Washington's richest

Not an Inspiring Declaration.

According to Hot Springs despatch
printed by the Tribune, -Mr. TAFT's ad-
visers believe that his promise to call
a special session Of the Sixty-frst Con-
gress to revise the tariff Immediately
after his Inauguration, should he be
elected, will greatly dishearten the
Bryanites for their chief stock in trade
is the tariff Their chief stock in trade
is not the tariff. II 1t were, and Mr..
BRYAN should continue to discuss the
tariff with the moderation and the CO.
gency Of argument that distinguished his
Des Moines speech, the Republicans
might be disheartened. Mr.. BRYAN has
too many strings to his bow, and some
Of the wild tunes he plays will disgust
auditors to whom his sober tariff music
is welcome enough.
A called session Of Congress to revise
the tariff on the principle Of guarantee
ing "a reasonable profit to manufactur-
ers! Is that proposition that is going
to wake to ecstasy the now languid
voters? Socialism for socialism, the
Government guarantee OF national bank
deposits Is as skim milk to raw arrack
in comparison with Government guar
antee Of the profits Of protected indus
tries. Fortunately Mr.. TAFT has many
titles to public confidence and he Is not
dependent for his strength upon the i'm
pudent and preposterous Republican

DEAARCATION or THE ALAsr,

1t is about fve years since the Al..,.

to and through the Portland Canal, delmi;

Alaska.
In the spring OF 1904. few months a,,o,

o. H. Tittmann. representing the upi,ad
States. and Mr.. w. +. King, on behalf of ,ha
British Government. began the delimi,..
ton Of that part Of the boundary which
had been in dispute. Tho difficult worL
it is expected, will be completed this season
The commissioners have fixed trieonome,ri.
cally all the peaks indicated by the tribunal
excepting two near Mount St. Elias, tbosa
In the region between Whiting River and
Devils Thumb. and some Of the reaks South
OF the Unuk River. The turning points
Of the water boundary In Portland Canal
are also to be fixed this season by reference
to points on shore.
The work has been slow. and arduous On
account Of the nature OF the country and
the inadequacy Of our Typographical knovl.
edge Of large parts of it. On the whole tbe
boundary line lies amid perpetual snow and
Ice except where 1t drops abruptly to tho
valleys only to rise again into the snow
regions.
Mr.. Tittmann said in his recent address
before the American Philosophical Society
that it had been the business of the com.
missioners to identify and establish tho
geographical position Of the peaks which
the tribunal had marked as the mountains
contemplated by the Treaty of 1925. also to
mark by visible monuments. wherever
possible, the turning points of the line and
to define and describe the line between tho
points selected by the tribunal. In the
course Of this work IL was necessary to make
a complete survey through 12o miles Of
country which was practically unknown
and to select mountain peaks within certain
prescribed limits to define the boundary.
The passes. valleys and river crossings,
with few exceptions, have now been
monumented on the boundary line.
The boundary crosses the summit q
Mount st. Elias and other high peaks Of the
st. Elas Alps and the Fairweather Range.
When the work is completed all the boundary
peaks will be connected by continuous
triangulation. and the intervening stretches
will be so monumented that there will bs
no opportunity for disputes to arise such as
were occasioned by the discovery Of gold
on the frontier between Washington, Mon.
tana and Canada. This work has naturally
been one Of the most difficult pieces o.
boundary delimitation ever undertaken.

Would Reformed Turkey Mean a
Change in tho Caliphate2

In attempting to forecast the outcome
OF the reform movement in Turkey 1t
is important to bear in mind that re-
action might gain support at any time
from orthodox Mohammedans II II were
backed by the spiritual prestige Of ABDUL
HAAiID, who as Sultan Is temporal ruler
OF the Ottoman Empire, but who as titu-
lar Caliph Is in the eyes Of almost all
Sunnite Moslems the Vioegerent OF GOD
on earth. 1t may become, therefore, at
any hour a matter Of vital moment to
Turkish reformers to deprive the Otto
man sovereign OF his claim to the eIer-
else of supreme spiritual authority. The
task will not seem difficult to those who
are familiar with the circumstances
under which the oaliphate is alleged to
have passed to the House Of Osman.
The Shiites, the major part Of whom
are subjects Of the Shah Of Persia hold
that there has never been a genuine
Caliph since the assassination OF the
sons of ALI, the cousin and son-in-law
Of MoHAMMED. The Sunnites hold, on
the contrary, that the caliphate is vested
IN INC ltlully Vi MOhAmMED anu tno
tribe of Koreish; but that within the
limits OF that family and that tribe the
office is not hereditary but elective.
In conformity with this theory the cali
phate passed from the 0mmiads in A. D.
$50 to the Abbassids, and when the latter
dynasty was overthrown in 1858 by the
Tartars some Of the family sought a
refuge in Egypt, When the last ttular
Abbassid Caliph, MUTAwAKKAL ILL.,, died
at Cairo in 1888 he is alleged-the allie
CATION is disputed-to have bequeathed
the sacred office to the Ottoman Sultan
SELIM l., who had conquered the Nile
country about twenty years before.
Now according to all Sunnite theolo-
gians MUTAwAKKAL had no right to
transmit by will the caliphate to any one
possessing no hereditary claim on the
score of descent from the family Of Mo-
HANINiED and the tribe OF KoRRIsH. SELIM
I. possessed no such claim. Neither can
any de jure claim b. pleaded in favor
OF the Ottoman Sultans on the ground
that they possess certain sacred relics,
TO wit. the cloak OF MoHAMMED and the
sword Of OMAR, the authenticity Of which
ia doubtful. The utmost that can be
