Richard Croker's Smoker

Richard Croker. described as rosy,
clear-eyed and in health, is again in this
land of the free and the home of the
brave. But only for visit. He loves
America passionately, but prefers Ireland
as a place of residence. He holds on to

If there is a scheme afoot, and there

the new President and the new Congress
1t will probably fail. In vain is such
seed sown In the sight of old husband
men. Mr.. Cannon is q veteran tiller of

make him wise to the capers of those
with tares in their sacks.
Good relations between Congress and
the White House are essential to good
legislation. When Congress is of one
party and the President OF another too

But even greater difficulty Is encoun-

are of the same party and yet by reason
of factionalism work at cross purposes.
AS the family row is always the bitter

one set of leaders pulling in one direc

rection-is always attendant with disaster
to the party and loss to the country.
Mr.. Clevelands second administration
was wrecked on this shoal. The first
message to Congress, addressed to
special session, created a division be-
tween the President and his party IN
Congress which was never healed. So
much bitterness resulted that before his
term was half finished he had accused
the most prominent of the democratic
members of the Senate OF 'perfidy and

control of the government. Important
legislation has been promised. and the
country is waiting. Everybody who
wants the campaign promises honestly
and intelligently redeemed is looking for
harmony between Congress and the

nothing done are working for discord.
Fortunately. nothing can be done in

his Jaws and shook his head. But he
listened to a statement that MI Bryan
was in receptive mood toward another
presidential nomination., and literally
laughed in his sleeve He snickered. His
gesture and manner We're highly disre-
spectful.
And yet Mr.. Croker was a Bryan man
in the recent campaign. The two men
met while Mr.. Bryan was abroad, and
talked about politics and the future. and
the fact was caoled over that Mr.. Croket
favored the peerless leader for another
try at the presidency. Subsequ antly it
was stated he had subscribed to the Bry-
an campaign fund. So that Mr.. Bryan
had not only Mr.. Cookers good will IN

Crokers good money. But now he gets-a
smoker.
But did lie deserve anything else? And
will he be surprised at what he has got:
Mr.. Bryan is probably past all surprises.
At any rate, he ought to be. VI the past
twelve years he has met all sorts and
conditions of politicians listened to all
sorts of professions OF friendship. and
has drank of the cup of disappointment to
the ices. what cOulO surprise MIN now.

Croker would have touched these shores

seen him here in Washington. radiant
with party pleasure and loaded with re-
quests for favors for party friends. He
would have been prominent in the pro-
cession TO the White House. and probably
been welcomed by the new chief. The

ton would have served valuable pur-
pose then.
However. il was ever thus. The event
proves the man. Success produces adula-

From the New York Tribune.

The calling of a congress of municipal

mosquitoes. especially of the disease-im-
parting varieties. is commendable au-
spicious and strongly suggestive of two
or three important facts. One is the dem

comparative facility. of Kidding almost
any place of those pests. and the GER
tainty that with their disappearance the
diseases of which they are the trans
hitting mediums will also disappear This
has been practically proved often and
in so many places that it is no longer to
be regarded as questionable.
