The Battle of Syracuse.

When John Wilkinson gave the name to SYRIA
cuse 100 wears ago, because OF its likeness to
ancient Syracuse he little thought that here would
be fought out a great legal battle in which Greek
met Greek, When Dewitt Clinton built the Eric
Canal he had no preuOnition that upon it, banks
would be argued at length his great policy: "To
the victor belongs the spoils When Justice An
drews, Col. Roosevelt and Mr.. Barnes were study
ing at Harvard they dreamed not. that in after
years. OF them would sit in judgment on the
other two But these things have come about
and the political battle OF generation is going on

the land, who by heredity and environment ought
TO be the examples for thousands OF their fellow
citizens What the primary cause OF the bat
tie? Political supremacy in State and Nation and
nothing else. In politics both parties were reared
in the same school, both followed its teachings;
the commanding position held by both makes the
affair OF national importance, and the question
arises. why did these foremost citizens
allow themselves to be drawn into this struggle.
Theodore Roosevelt is man, sui generis in
American life. As farmer, ranchman, a hun
ter. an author he would hold first rank. He was
a success in the legislature in the civil service,
in the police department; he was a success
as Vice President and President and
was ever a soldier and warrior. But, like some
other great OF history. he is the victim OF
his own consuming ambition, and Unsuitable
desire to be always in the national spotlight He
might have been perfectly happy the ruler OF
a people, among whom strong language and
war club made up the daily program. When he
talks about bosses he knows that his whole polit-

The German Warning.

to Liverpool which began yesterday. will not be
sunk by German torpedo, in spite OF the nys-
FERROUS warnings, sent to passengers by telegraph
and whispered to them in foreign accents by
strange the steamship dock. that it meant
death to embark on the Cunard liner. There is
no evidence that the German situation has be-
come desperate that she is ready to resort to
blowing up steamship with scores OF Americans
board in the hope of rcmcdyng it. AS mat
ter OF fact, in view Of the advertisement inserted
in a number OF newspapers by the German En-
bassy. warning travellers OF peril in the naval
zone, and yesterdays anonymous proph ecies
OF disaster Germany becomes about as much
interested in the safe arrival OF the Lusitania as
either the United States Great Britain. What
the effect would be in this country. should the

has been wrongfully accused would instantly be-

not desire and certainly is not prepared deal

warnings to passengers on the dock. Bearing date
Of April -, it reminds travellers that state OF war

political is political following and this
he has unremittngly sought.
William Barnes has persistently followed one
path in life politician and publisher. He is a
OF extraordinary force and intelligence; he
follows the political faith OF the New York cate
chsm, and confesses it. His word is good
his bond; he is loyal friend in fair weather
and storm. The consistency of his policies is
proverbia and has been proven in many trying
times. When it is considered that he has come
out successfully from the struggles OF his
party, and been constant winner Tam
many Hall, doubt is left to his excellent
qualities political leader, which in the
language OF New York State means political
boss Boss in New York State has meant nothing
but this since the days of Dewitt Clinton, and
he who has shown himself prominently fitted for
leadership has been called boss. Roosevelt might
easily have obtained the title OF boss had he
been content with doing the hard work of
leader, instead OF being satisfied with the honors
and cmounents OF office. Disregarding what
may be the judgment of the court and jury, II is
safe to predict that the popular verdict will be
against both parties the suit, and that both will
live to regret being drawn into it. viii there be
