a DIPLOMAT VOID OF DIPLOMACY

1t now seems that Estrada, the Mic
arauguan rebel, has overthrown the
government of that country and cap
tured the capital. What Mr.. Knox
could not accomplish by diplomacy he
has been able to accomplish by force
of arms, Everybody knows that the
United States was fighting this battle,
and furnished about all of the real
sinews of that war. 1t would be ap-
propriate to haul down the name of
Estrada and run up that Of Knox to
the mast head. Soon the United States
will have to again apologize for Mr..
Knox as diplomat, though seeing his
many failures this would be easier now
than before. Some congregations do
this for their minister. They have Of

He knows diplomacy to the core, Of

RAILROAD BUILDING IN CANADA.

Railway building. in Canada was
never so brisk. It is presumed
that there is ''carte blanch" given rail-
roads in Canada to do precisely as they
please, since we are told that in the
United States there will be no further
railroad development unless that right
is accorded them. On one occasion a
few railroads in the United States in
formed the public that they would go
out of business if certain democratic
nominee were elected president. OF
course such dangers have never threat
ed Canada, hence the building goes on
right along.

DISGUSTING TYRANNY

There is a sort of Czarism which is
dominant in the republican party, and
is growing in the democratic party in
some sections. 1t is just now being
felt in the republican party to Won
derful degree. We hear of meeting
after meeting at Beverley, Mass,
where Mr.. Taft is summering, and
these have been with view of purg-
ing the party. Cannon must be gotten
rid of Aldrich must be gotten rid OF /;
of course Ballinger must go. But ne
does not come in the same category as
the others. He has been accused OF
conduct which in a sense besmirches
the administration, and his retirement
seems rational and inevitable. MI
Aldrich is possibly going OF his own
volition. Nobody can make him re-
sign. MI. Taft and all the worthless
who may infest the Presidents sum-
mer home, could not make him bulge
an inch if his own people want him In
the Senate. Mr.. Cannon is much IN
the same category. If his district
wants r. send HIM to Congress they
will ruust nKeIy do SO without dicta-
ton or suggestion from the Summer
White House. When it comes to the
body as a whole electing him Speaker
that may be another question, because
those things are done after consulta
ton with the head of the party. Bu'
what must make men who have forgec
to the front as Mr.. Cannon has, very
sore, is that conclave of ''ringsters'
or Organization" men, or "hanger'
on" should arrange to retire then
simply because those they would retlr'
have ideas not exactly in accord witt
theirs, and do things before, or withou
asking, "by your leave" We are suffer
ing from the same thing here in Virgin
ia,and the partyis going to pieces unde
it. The republican party will be spill
to pieces on this very rock.

THAT MvpoM STATUE

The burst of pleasure which went
out from Virginia yesterday should
have rent the .clrcumambient air, for
on yesterday an occurrence took place
at Versailles, France, calculated to
cause the patriotic bosoms of Virgin
ians to swell with pride, as full and
pronounced as the eyes of boy who
has been engaged in whipping a bum
BILE bees nest. Last winter when our
lawmakers were raking earth and sea
and sky for new subjects of taxation,
and the treasury was groaning under
the pains of emptiness, and was more
than empty. by $25O,0OO, some noble
Virglnian in walking between the
legislative halls of Virginia cast his
eye upon marble statue of Washing
ton which stands there. The work is
creditable one, but has cost Virginia
all it should cost. However this same
gentleman learned somewhere that one
lean Antoine Houdon had made the
statue. OF course he enquired who the
said J, A. Houdon was, and somebody
possibly told him that he was a
Frenchman. Then further ascertain
ing that France was not a part OF the
United States to be taken care OF by
Uncle Sam in his relations to the
marble carvers of this and other coun-
tries, who work constantly on his leg,
curl law-maker bethought him that
maybe this maker of monuments was
himself without one, if purchance the
had passed away. So he grew generous
at other peoples expense, and then ne
went into the hall of the body of Wiz
ginia Lawmakers, to which he be
longed, and Immediately moved te
have a replica of the Washington
statute cast in bronze and to present il
to France las a token of gratitude te
that country, for having furnished
man who was capable of executing
such noble work. Nobody had nerve
enough to show the uselessness or alb
surdity OF the proposition, and $lO,OO'
of our good money went out at thai
leak, to the disgust of all but thos'
who were further profitted by it,
There is still sequel to this waste

Will the umpire now call Mr.. Roose-

three times in the political game.
He first und ertook to have the Direct
Primary bill passed at the extra ses-

with Gov. Hughes coaching hun The
never touched the ball."
Then there was his nephew, Theo-
dore Roosevelt Robinson, who failed
to receive the nomination for Congress
in the Herkimer district, although
"duly annointed," as they say. This
was the second time he ''fanned the
air. i"
Just within the last few days there
was game on, wherein the prize was
to be the temporary craftsmanship of
the N. Y. State convention. But the
curves of the Hon. James Schoolcraft
Sherman were SO deceptive, that again
the air was famed, and the big stick
was laid down without doing the
slightest injury to the political sphere.
Thereupon it is claimed that the WELD
er of the dangerous club is out, and his
batting average has dropped, Oh, SO

ANOTHER WATERLOO

"Mr. Bryan's latest defeat" is the
newest thing ON the bill boards. MI.
Rryan's defeats have come SO rapidly
in some minds, that the "latest" is
hardly observable from the one just
preceding it. The "latest" is said to
be that his editor of the Commoner,
Metcalf, who aspired to the democratic
nomination for the Senate, was defeat
ed for that nomination. This defeat
did not occur because of Mr.. Bryan's
lack of popularity. Mr.. Metcalf was
overshooting the mark. He got it into
his head some way that he was sena-
torial timber. Other people could not
see it that way, SO they nominated an
other man. Mr.. Bryan seeing the as
pirations OF Mr.. Metcalf did not run
himself, as he did not desire to oppose
his friend. What Mr.. Bryan should
have done was himself to have beer
the candidate, and there would have
been no opposition. He would have
secured the nomination without
word. But the defeat of MI. Melcalf
like many other things for which Mr.
Bryan is in no wise responsible, viii
be charged up to him. There is on
consolation He can stand it.
