The Covenanters.

Every presidential campaign has its
pet name or phrase for conj,Iring pur-
poses. In Mr. Cleveland's day the word
was 'consecrate." Everybody in the DEM
ocratic harness was consecrated. Dir.
Cleveland himself of course was. But so
also was Mr.. German, the proprietor and
driver of the then notorious Baltimore
machine. So also was William C.. Whit
ney, whom William T. Jerome, another
democrat, characterized as the most
baleful influence in American politics
So also was Calvin s. Brice, who made
his entrance into the Senate from Ohio
by the way Of Wall street. And so also
was Richard Croker. who. although work
ing for his own pocket all the time, yet
did So in consecrated fashion.
The word this year is covenant" All
are informed that the progressives are
not under a mere promise or pledge to do
certain things If intrusted with national
power They are 'covenanted.' Being
crusaders, and bent on the redemption Of
the country from the influences of evil
they have adopted the most solemn OF
words having to do with political obli-
cations. The rascally- republicans and
the tricky democrats may pledge them
selves to measures. but the progressives
covenant to do certain things.
OF course Mr.. Roosevelt covenants
Depend upon him always to employ a
superlative in describing his own case,
or that of the opposition. Standing at
Armageddon and battling for the Lord.
naturally he covenants" But with equal
ease SO also does William Finn. And,
quite properly, being an angel" SO also
does George ". Perkins. He covenants
as glibly as either his chief or his Pitts
burgh coadjutor. His is no vulgar pledge
to assist in doing the trusts In the in
terests of the great common people if the

The New York Republicans.

The republicans of New York Will write
a platform and nominate a state ticket
this week. Much depends upon their ac-
ton. not only at home, but elsewhere. If
the result at Saratoga heartens the party
locally it will hearten it nationally. And
surely the party never needed heartening
more than now. Divisions exist in every
state. and the whole effort of Mr. RoOse-
vet is to intensity them and increase
their power. He is especially DESTROYS of
defeating the men with whom he worked
long as friend and neighbor. Apostasy
often shows that impulse. The men who
helped him in his earlier aspirations and
gave him his opportunities are the ones
he is bent now on destroying.
We are told that the convention will be
an open one That is to say, the dele
gates will do the business. Bosses; big
and little, will be on hand. A conven-
ton entirely shorn of bosses could not
be he'd by any party anywhere in this
country. But it Is asserted very posi-
lively that at Saratoga boss rule will not
prevail. Both as respects platform and
candidates for PAGES on the ticket every
man is to have his say.
1t will be a good thing for the repub
uCdnS IL lnlS' pan Is CdTTletl Out, dIu thc
public impressed with the sincerity Of
the proceedings. While the clamor
against bosses is by no means new-as
matter of fact, it is as cd as politics it
self, and will continue while politics con-
tinues-it is at present unusually loud,
and the confused state of things is max
ing it unusually effective. The republic
cans cannot ignore it. and in bowling to
it should do SO with thoroughness and
frankness.
The old republican leadership in New
York has all but disappeared. OF the
men who only few years ago made the
state so powerful in the party's national
councils Mr.. Root alone remains. This is
not to say that the new leadership is
without merit or courage. On the con-
trary, both in the fields of oratory and
party management republican New York
remains strong. But the young men of
promise have yet to be tested in the
fiercest fires, and are therefore on sort
of probation
Boss Barnes will be at Saratoga, and
next week Boss Murphy will be at SYRIA
cuse. Each is in his way clever per-
former. The one boss differs from the
other boss in CORY. That Boss Barnes
will dictate at Saratoga is unlikely. That
Boss Murphy will either renominate Gov.
Dix or name the new man seems certain.

The Era of Great Luck.

We're living in a lucky hour,
On which the knowledge of the past
Turns its accumulated power
And bids man take a rest at last.
When there is something to decide
On which the public mind is bent.

Can always show a precedent.
No matter what you would express,
You need do little. save to quote,
In language chastencd more or less.
What some ancestral genius wrote.

Since mental toll has grown so small
