Arthur G. Plant.

No word of censure for Arthur G. Plant is
heard IN Washington, only expressions of sor-
row and regret for the insurmountable financial
difficulties which brought him to his tragic end
Dying by his own hand, he retained the con-
hdenee and respect of his friends and business
associates, as was proved by the action of the
Washington Stock Exchange yesterday. There is
no doubt that Arthur Plant strove manfully against
heavy odds and when he lost he sought the mercy
OF his God rather than face his earthly creditors.
There are few whose lives blameless, but there
was little in the life of Arthur Plant for him to be
ashamed Of He would not knowingly wrong a
fellow man. and hence there are none to pass judg
ment upon him speak i'll of him now that he
has paid his debt to the world in full

St. John Gaffney and Webster Davis.

There is analogy between the case OF Mr..
T. St. John Gaffney, who is being dropped from
the post of consul general at Munich with dull
thud, and Mr.. Webster Davis. Mr.. Davis was
an Assistant Secretary of the Interior under Pres
ident Mckinley. He made visit in South Africa
during the Boer and was reported to be an
emssary from the United States looking to inter-
venton. While he nothing of the sort, his
pro-Boer inclination brought suspicion upon the
racket in international politics. He returned. at
tacking the British and lauding the Beers, and
resigned his post in the Interior Department in
to have received large sums of money from Pres
ident Kruger to influence sentiment in America.
His career was very stormy. He left the Repub-
liean party and dramatically Joined the cause of
City convention of 1900. Then he went out with
sputter like the stick of rocket in the rain
and has not figured in the news for eleven years.
It is quite probable that Mr. Gaffney will have
the same meteoric experience after he leetnses

known as profound scholar in the
literature of ancient Greece has for
many years spent the summer months
at East Northfield, Mass There he
made acquaintance not only with the
late Dwight l.. Moody but also with
Mr. Moody's mother. Mr.. Rankin was
chatting with me recently about some
or his associations with Mr. Moody
and with Mother Moody. and l asked
him II he was in agreement with
Lyman Abbott. who in one of the
chapters of his "reminiscences spoke

there would be no final resistance; and
the first concerted effort TO discredit

Hamilton, the author of the law. 1T

declared. 'and my aim has been. and

But the Judgment Of the Democrats
was the Judgment of Jefferson.
This stroke against the people or
