into particulars. 1t AYERS that there Is
an understanding between Murphy
and Mcclellan and that both are
agreed hat Gaynor is the man. This
would be even more sensational than
Murphy's action in taking up Fornes
and Grout, independent candidates for
president of the board of aldermen
and comptroller on the last Low tick
ct. And while all Of this talk is In
progress Gaynor himself sails for Eu-
rope to be zone till September.
For my simple self, l believe that
this sort of political prophecy Is Of the
pipe dream variety; that William j.
Gaynor, II he is a candidate at all, will
run on an independent and not on the
Tammany ticket and that he is not
the sort Of man who would work in
collision with politicians of the Muir
ply and Mcclellan stripe. Neverthe-
less the mere fact that he is talked Of
puts a different face on the political
situation. There Is no ~gainsaying the
fact that Gaynor would be a strong
candidate wherever he might run AS
a Tammany nominee, however, his
personal strength would be much
weakened, since the bulk of his friends
are sworn enemies of the Murphy ma
chine and for the further reason that
Gaynor's acceptance of such a nomi-
nation would imply a deal and would
disgust honest men. / believe 1t Is
doing him a wrong even to consider
such a possibility. AS the matter
now stands, however, no certain fore
cast can be made as to candidates be-
fore the early fall. There is persistent
talk that the Republicans will insist on
running a man Of their own, and this
still further complexities the situation.
The Hearst papers charge that this Is
part of the plan of Thomas f. Ryan,
who, they assert, will control the nom
nation of both parties. If Hearst
were trying to picture Satan he would
make him look like Ryan.
New York's famous bread line"
which formed In front of Fleischmann's
bakery on Broadway, has been tempo
rarily wiped out, or, rather, has been
shifted off Broadway by the destruc2
ton of the bakery by fire. This pro-
cession of the hungry has long been
one Of the most familiar and one of
the most saddening sights Of the me-
tropolis. The assurance that the bak-
cry will be restored and with 1t the
bread line therefore brings mingled
feelings-pleasure that the needy will
be fed and sorrow that u civilization
has not progressed to a point beyond
| the necessity of such exhibitions
While some professional buns infest
the bread line, there is nc question in
the mind of any n who has ever
studied the matter that many Of those
who tramp In the daily procession for
a loaf are men who are able to work
and anxious to work, but who are not
permitted to work. The mar who will
solve the problem of the unemployed
will be hailed as the greatest benefac-
tor of modern times, a veritable savior
of the poor.
There Is q pretty kettle Of fish over
the Early case, all due to the fact that
doctors cannot agree. When Captain
Early went t. Washington he was
pronounced a leper and detained as
such. Now when he succeeds in re
turning to New York he is a leper nc
longer and In consequence threatens
to bring suit against the Washington
doctors. Early is somewhat like Johr
Armstrong Chanler, or Challoner, as
he persists In calling himself. In New
York state Challoner is insane an(
is liable to be locked up In a mad
house. In Virginia, where he hai
bought a fine estate, he is as sane a.
you or l. Thus, though our govern
ment cannot punish by exile, thu
courts In effect have done so in hi
case. Yet there is a shadow of reason
for this legal anomaly. One might b.
mentally right in the peace and quie
Of Virginia and yet be utterly bug
house in the swirl Of New York
There Is something here that bring
out latent insanity as a hot batl
brings out the measles.

The war Of the Chinese tongs, grow
ing out Of the murder Of Elsie Sigel
did not come of as per schedule. ]
seems that the tongs wanted to fghI
but the police would not let them. Ow
ing to the appeals of the Chinese mir
lister at Washington and the consu
at New York, a few hundred plat
clothes men went down to Chinatown
and nipped all martial valor in tn
bud. As a consequence several cue
will remain In place that otherwis
might have been cut OF Just below tn
ears.
Just as the president and other dig
nitaries are celebrating the discover,
Of Lake Champlain we are breakfnl
ground in New York for the Hudsol
monument and preparing for the bud
son. Fulton celebration. This occurs l
September and october, most Of tn
ceremonies being scheduled for tn
city, but some Of them extending al
along the Hudson river. There is n
question about It, this Is the mos
ce~ntennialized year In the calendar.
