A niT OF POLITICAL GOSSIP.

New comes a sensational story to n
contemporary that Senator Foraker is
assured that next December he will
have very important aid which cannot
be secured now" for the Brownsville
question. 1t Is broadly limited that
the negro soldier issue will he re-
moved from politics 10y Mr. Foraker,
who will thereby put Secretary Taft
under obligation as the man who will
render tho very important aid later.
1t is further stated that senator For
aker may even make the speech nom
mating Mr. Taft, and while this Is
probably too much to expect, there is
good prospect" that Mr.. Foraker will
make the seconding speech.
This is delicious bit Of political
gossip concerning an alleged compact
4 in the interest Of harmony in Ohio
It certainly is desirable that brotherly
love should be manifested in Ohio
but 1t Is lnconceivable that Mr. Taft
need make any compromising deal OF
any sort when he has considerably
over the necessary votes for the nom
nation already pledged The cause OF
the negro soldiers must rest alone foi
indication where it belongs, n the
growing belief that justice will event
ually be done them.

DESTINED TO WAIT.

That Brownsville affair Is long drawn
out, Senator Foraker Of Ohio has GER
tninly done his best to secure action at
this session Of congress to reinstate
the negro soldiers of the twenty-ffth
regiment who we're discharged by order
Of the President But now the matter
must go over to next December
This whole question Is proving to be
exceedingly troublesome. Senator For
akcr has been promised by somebody
that his chances of getting vote next
December are better than now, and
Senator Foraker believes It. Every
republican IN the senate said he,
will be under obligation to help me
get the bill before the senate and to
get A vote on It," If there Is such an
j obligation as this resting on the con
/ sciences of the senators, why not get
! the vote now and relieve this moral
pressure? Why are the senators will
ing to wait so long, and 60 about their
! summer vacations, and even to the
/ Chicago convention, with this burden
\ of the Brownsville affair on their CON
sciences? They must ever bear In mind
through the long summer months the
calm confidence that Senator Foraker
has in them.
BY December Senator Lodge will
have prepared the speech which he
desires to make on the Brownsville
matter Mr.. Warren. who said he
wished to speak and had not had ar
opportunity to prepare speech ant
are few others likely, are preparing
food of oratory for the coming
session.

THE SPIRIT OF MELIORIsM.

notwithstanding the fact, open to all
observers that the world Is growing
better, there are those who ever per-
sist in looking at the dark side Of ev-
cry question on the other hand are
those who are ever seeing more than
the facts warrant The gloomy pessi-
mist and the Astounding optimlst are
temperamentally farther apart than
the poles There is no common ground
apparently on which they can discuss
any public question. one sees tenden-
cies that are carrying human life into
hopeless chaos the other interprets
facts and tendencies to mean that the
Kingdom Of Heaven Is due next year
if not tomorrow The influence of the
former Is Oppressive and that Of the
latter q yeritable tonic. Possibly the
pessimst serves a useful purpose in
the world IN putting the brakes on his
brother, the optimist
But why need one drift into a state
| Of hopelessness on the one hand, or gel
too far ahead Of the procession Of life
This world is not altogether bad, nor
is It as good as It might be It is, how.
ever, the best world that any know
about thus far through the actual ex
periences of life The old theological
teaching of the total deprayity' o.

THE CASE or COLONEL STEWART

Saws one contemporary: I'm all the
sympathy which has been extended to
Colonel Stewart in his enforced exile in
Arizona no sigh has been heard for the
two men detailed to serve him, as at
tondant and cook Their lot Is still
worse" That may be true, but still
It does not make the colonels position
any more tenable. Now that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in his letter to Senator
Rayner. has admitted repeatedly that
the officer has been sent to his Drey-
fus-lika exile at Fort Grant, Arizona,
to be punished for being a nuisance in
the service" "tyranncal," and gross
" unfit" the affair has taken on an
entirely different aspect. If the Prcsi-
dent looked upon the colonel's detail to
the lonely post as merely a regrettabe
hardship asked Of him In the natural
course of his duty as a soldier, 1t Is not
difficult to see that the situation Is moi
the same as # the man were summar.
ily sent there as a punishment wthou,
even the benefit Of a rum-head court
martial. which is available to ever
the meanest deserter in time Of war
Even much-abused French Dreyfu'
had recourse to a number Of cour
trials
The question is not whether Colone
Stewart is guilty Of the charges or not
The morning journal-courier. (New Haven, Conn.) 1907-1913, 1908-05-16

So FAR no one has denied them except
Colonel stewart hlmself-not even Sem
ator Rayncr "Yet has the time come
in this country" asks the Springfield
Republican, whom men, whether In
military or civil llle are to be accused
of serious faults, and then punished
for them by the official who makes
the accusation, in a wholly arbitrary
manner, without the slightest interview
ton by the duly established tribunals
Of justlce?'
That paper seems to be very much
cmbttered with the President because
Of the affair. Continuing IT says; "The
truth Is that If congress dare not pro-
test, and II the people are 50 enthrall-
ed by a popular IDOLS shining virtues
that they are blind to his most dan
gerous faults, the situation becomes far
from ideal, whatever else may be
thought of IT,
In his first resolution in the Colonel
Stewart controversy the senator pro-
posed to direct the President to con-
vene Il court Of inquiry to take up the
CAGE Since that time he has changed
his wording 50 as to request the
President to take this action This Is
what rifles our contemporary In Spring
field IN regard to the matter. The Bos-
ton Transcript takes the other view Of
the situation ITO assert, says that
paper, 'ln behalf of congress q power
to direct the President TO bring an OIL
Ger before a court Of inquiry would be
equivalent t. declaring that congress
has right Of command that extends
to every detail OF discipline, History
shows that other President have held
to the same conviction as to constitu-
tional independence OF congressional
dictation with regard to particular Off.
GERS. An instance IN point Is afforded
by President Arthur's veto Of the bill
for the restoration Of Fltz John Porter
in which he said that congress had NJ
power whatever under the constitution
to nominate or appoint an officer MOI
I could It lawfully impose upon the Pres
ldent the duty of nominating or APP
pointing to office any particular indi
vidual of It's own selection"
And so we have both sides Of tn,
question But we can easily conceiv,
of such actions on the part of an Off
Ger as would lay him open to punish
ment at the hands of the commander
in-chief Of the army without recours
TO military tribunal.
The morning journal-courier. (New Haven, Conn.) 1907-1913, 1908-05-16

human nature is not in accord with
fact,
May there not be a middle way in
the spirit Of mellorsm, modifying the
extreme views Of those who say there Is
no use to try TO do anything, and other
good people who believe they can make
this world into anything they want to,
The great body Of the worlds think
ers and workers are found to he melior-
lists They are satisfied to do their work
day by day, and to see that with each
day the world has moved a step far
ther towards It's destiny, which Is al
ways something better,
There Is therefore much ordinary
sense and good morality IN the idea of
the national prosperity association be-
gun In ST. Louis, that boards Of trade
and interested individuals everywhere
can do much to restore prosperity by
talking It, OF the same tenor Is the adj
vice Of western railroad president
who urges the employees Of the road TO
talk, think and act prosperity and send
to our general offices all the good news
you hear
II may appear to some that n rail-
road president disqualiiles himself for
Office in resting his case on so flimsy
thing MS talk. II can never secure
needed capital But talk of the right
sort and to purpose, which impart'
cheer ana confidence, Is likely to hell
more than pcssmstic talk that creates
an atmosphere of encouragement
II is readily admitted that goot
crops. a careful and prudential use o
ways and means, slower pace in bust
ness. desirable political action and AZ
economical manner Of life, will restor
prosperity These have consideration
for tho material side. There Is also III,
psychical factor that enters into tn
problem the training Of the prope
spirit with which to contemplate tn
situation Talk that is hopeful and in
spires a general feeling Of confdenc
so that men attack their various prob
lens In business with renewed energ
is not vain talk, whatever else It ma
, be called. II may he included In tn
philosophy Of Ameiorism, which pre-
fors to see that things are not as ha
as they were supposed to be- but ar
; really getting better, Talk Of this kin
can help a good deal.
