rotary of state, William II. Seward,
had become very chummy with Presi-
dent Lincoln and for a long time he,
Chase, could not understand this. At
last he made up his mind that it
was chiefly due to the fact that
Seward lived across PENNSYLVANIA
avenue from the White House and
for that reason could conveniently
run in and chat with the President
in a neighborly and friendly way,
whereas he, Chase, had taken a
house about mile and half from
the White House and therefore could
not conveniently cultivate the neigh
borly relations with the President
which Seward was able to do.
Then Chase. after musing a mo-
ment, said that If plan which he
had warmly advocated when he was
q member of the Senate, between 1849
and 1855, had been accepted by Con-
gress. Seward would have had no ad-
vantage over him SO far as peighbor-
ly relations were concerned.

Progressive Swats the Star

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The Paterson Morning Call, of this
city. prints what is alleged to be a
clipping from the Newark Evening
Star, entitled "The Decline of the
Progressives, referred to therein as
pathetic" Don't you get fooled by
this apparent decline. The Progress
sives are here, some forty-odd thou
sand of them, and they are not bit
sad-eyed about the fall-off. They put
neiehbor Fielder, Democratic pro-
gressive, back in the governors COM
Portable armchair, and they put the
progressive Republican party
back into the soup-kettle of political
inactivity. That is a good-sized pro-
gressive victory all by its lonesome
ness. just dig a United States his
tory out of the Public Library and
read up on the rise and fall of polti-
cal parties, and you will see that
history repeats ITSELF" and this
"apathetic" decline is not such de-
cline as it appears to be.
The Progressives are not made of
that stuff who consider one battle
constitutes a war or who die if they
are kept from that fleshpot of politi-
cal easy money, the public pay-rolls.
They are a party of principles, prac-
t1se and purposes, protest and pros
pect. Not broken, not destroyed, not
abandoned, not lost, but, like the
'apathetic" little army of Washing
ton at Valley Forge, getting into trim
to make surprise attack and cap
ture Trenton.
