Roosevelt would be forced within

Parker is making a pitiful plea for

in New York by beating the Roosevelt

fact that Mr.. Dix, the democratic
nominee, was named by Tammany's
boss regardless Of the preferences of
the other party leaders and pretends

Nero and His Fiddle,

Tradition says that Nero fiddled
while Rome burned. And some his
torians charge him with incendiarism
In Tennessee former Governor and
present Senator Bob" Taylor is fid-
ding while the state is aflame with
the righteous wrath at the domination
of Pattersonism. Nero of old, so his
tory said, reveled in the spectacle and
stood afar reciting verses of Troy's de-
struction while the fire ragged, blaming
it's origin on the Christians. But it is
also a matter of record that Nero re-
built a more magnificent city and
reared for himself a splendid palace
overlooking the Palatine hill.
Senator Bob" Taylor, the modern
fiddler, accepted the democratic guber-
Material nomination and became the
Patterson scapegoat after the decent
democrats had united with the repub-
licans in the support of Colonel
Hooper. Now Taylor is having a hard
time blaming the other fellows for the
fire that is burning at the canker of
Pattersonism. He may fiddle his wierd
tunes and recite his uncanny verses as
much as he will, but he probably will
find that he cannot make the ma
jority of the people believe that any
except the Patterson regime is respon-
sible for this consuming ambition and,
If indications count for anything. he
certainly will not be able to rebuild
the Patterson democracy nor rear for
himself any official home in Nashville

pear to be in deadly earnest and to
have united in an indissoluble bond
for the complete overthrow and repu-
diation of Patterson this fall. They
have to If they expect to redeem their
state in the eyes and estimation of the
country. They cannot afford to elect
Taylor, for, though he evidently lent
himself to be used by Patterson reluc-
family, he yielded, and his being in the
race under the Patterson banner
stamps him as a Patterson man,
opposed to the element that does not
believe in opening the doors of peni-
tentiaries to liberate convicted muir
derers, just because they have taken
the life of political enemy.
Tennessee is on trial and Tennessee
seems to realize that it's fate rests

Hitnhohnk,s nenials.

I never borrowed state funds and do not
owe the state treasury any money.-Candi-
date Hitchcock in his recent self-made
interview.
When Peter denied the Master for
the third time the cock. crowed.
Candidate Hitchcock's denial that
he ever borrowed state funds has
brought forth from Edgar Howard a
facsimile letter in which Mr.. Hitch
cock over his own signature addresses
Joseph s. BARLEY as state treasurer"
with request for the privilege of re-
newing a past-due loan Of $1,000
(only one Of many by making out
new notes payable on the installment
plan. 1t is, therefore, up to Mr..
Hitchcock to reconcile his denial with
the facts of this transaction.
What explanation Mr.. Hitchcock
may offer is not clear. He will prob
ably assail Howard with more bad
names. Presumably he will assert
that when he borrowed money of Bart
ley he borrowed Of him individually
and not as state treasurer. He will
doubtless try to distinguish between
Bartley's personal funds and the pub
lie funds in his custody, a distinction
which BARLEY himself never made.
But while Mr.. Hitchcock is engaged
in drawing fine lines behind which to
hide his share of the embezzlement,
several other points should be borne
in mind.
Why should the editor of a demo-
cratic paper have applied to a repub-
lican state treasurer for financial re-
lier.
How should Hitchcock come to
think BARLEY in position to loan him
money unless he loaned him money
belonging to the state?
Would he have gone to BARLEY for
a loan If BARLEY had not been state
treasurer?
Would BARLEY have granted such
an application if Hitchcock were not
running a democratic newspaper
whose favor state treasurer treading
crooked paths would like to have?
BARLEY repeatedly declared that he
could not pay over to his successor
the public money entrusted to his care
because those who had borrowed it of
him would not pay up. II Hitchcock
soothed his conscience at any time
with the thought that he was borrow
ing Bartley's personal funds, how
could he fail to know that he was the
beneficiary of stolen public money
after Bartley's shortage was un-
covered?
The money stolen by BARLEY has
never yet been paid back to the state.
Mr.. Hitchcock does not pretend that
he has put It back. Why, then,
should he have denied borrowing state
funds or owing the state treasury any
money?
How can petty clubbing, If not out
right falsehood, make the offense of
Candidate Hitchcock any less?
Peter denied the Master three times.
But at the third time the cock crowed.

KINGS IN EXILE.

LORfinR in Europe.
Rnatnr, r,rn I, acrint

Boston Transcript.
Young King Manuel, deposed from his
throne and banished into strange lands,
will not be thrown upon the resources OF
his mind for support, and by consequence
will escape the bitterest experience OF ev-
lie. He will not have to earn his living, for
he probably carries with him a considerable
private fortune, and his dssipated father,
not having been entirely without foresight,
is understood tn have made investments by
which Manuel will profit. II Is the thought
full way Of kings to put their savings be-
yond the reach Of the vicissitudes of the
politics OF their realms. Nor will Alfonso
be compelled to subsist on scanty doles be-
slowed by charitable members Of his order.
1t is far more probable that his experience
will bring him into sympathy with the
dictum of the late Alfonso XII OF SPAIN
that the happiest human lot is to be king
in exile with a good bank account, than
that 1t will inspire him to paraphrase
Dante's How bitter is the stranger 3
bread; how weary is the task OF going up
and down the strangers stairs"
There is a goodly circle Of exiled royalty
to which Manuel can look for consoling
predictions OF the people returning to their
duty. The Bonapartists pretenders in Rus
STA and Belgium are his kinsman being
like him descendants Of Victor Emanuel.
They are his cousins even II in a degree
not previously close. The Italian family
also will see in him the unfortunate grand
son Of daughter Of Savoy. To the Or
leanist princes he IL kin, his mother be-
ing descendant OF Louis Philippe. Be-
tween Orleanists and Bonapartes he is GER
tain OF more than cold consideration, and
at the hearthstone Of the House Of Savoy
he will be no interloper. But he must be-
ware OF certain others who bear the great
and once renowned name Of Braganza for
they are to him and his the most con
temptuous OF foes. Kinsmen estranged are
bitter towards one another even when the
ownership Of a house and lot is the cause
Of estrangement. How much more intense
must be the mutual dlsesteem between
those bereft Of a kingdom and colonial
empire and those who despoiled them. To
the heirs Of King Miguel, who dwell in
Austria and Bavaria, Manuel has simply
got what was coming to him"

Consolidation Again Blocked.

The movement to bring about the
consolidation Of Omaha and South
Omaha as one city under a single mu-
nicipal government seems again to

the offlce-holders and the benefciaries
Of the wasteful dual system. The con-
tinued separation Of Omaha and South

alter the fact that the people of the
two cities form one community, with
common business and social interests,
or that both suffer from lack of being
advertised abroad for what they really
are.
So far as consolidation is concerned
The Bee believes now, as 1t did when
the question was last submitted, that
South Omaha has everything to gain
and nothing to lose by union with
Omaha, while Omaha's only advantage
would come from the added prestige
which It would acquire through being
moved up in the list of population
winters. The time for consolidation
was before the last census, and so far
as Omaha is concerned its opportunity
to realize on consolidation will not
come again until another census.
Eventually consolidation is as certain
as that the two cities will continue to
grow. When It does come the people
Of South Omaha will wonder why they
ever we're so foolish as to oppose Il
and why they postponed It so long.
