BRYAN and Hobson.

In Mr.. Bryan's opinion, his desire to
go TO the st. Louis convention at the
head Of the Nebraska delegation was
defeated BY the liquor interests. Not
his resignation from the cabinet, nor his
opposition to preparedness, but his
championship of prohibition sent him
TO grass As his friends put it, the dis
tillery, the brewery and the barroom
proved too much for him. He remains
4 democrat, however, and will support
the st. Louis ticket
Capt. Hobson, for the name reason
has just been defeated in race for the
democratic nomination for Congress in
the tenth Alabama district He is an
advocate Of preparedness. In fact, he
has been advocating preparedness for
years. While other democrats were
either Indifferent on the subject, or In
open opposition, he was calling for Z
larger navy and pointing out the IA
tional he1pIessnese as against what he
thought was probable foreign agRres
sion.
But at the same time be has been an
aggressie prohibitionist, leading even

The Tariff at Chicago.

To what extent did the tariff affect
ond West Virginia district Undoubt-
edly. to very considerable extent.
Protection has always had a strong
hold on the Panhandle state. Its indus
tries have been developed under that
policy Its growth which has been
most gratifying, would not have been so
steady if protection had not been in
force much the greater part of the time
since the state entered the sisterhood of
the Union.
Prominent democrats as we'll as re-
pubhcans have subscribed to the prin-
ciple of protection. Mir. Camden, long
a senator, was classed as protection
democrat. Henry 6. Davis was another.
Both we're business men as well as poll
tieians. and took the business view Of
the tariff
The most influential democrat in the
states affairs living outside the state
was Arthur P. German. the acknOwl-
edged leader after Mr. Randalls death
of the protection branch of the party
and under whose leadership in the Sen
ate low tariff bill which had passed
the House under the leadership of
West Virginia democrat-W. L. Wilson
was recast. and became law in protec-
ton interests.
Mr. Wilson was an admiral BILE and very
able man. and much respected at home.
He was his party's most finished and
eloquent speaker, and made all of his
campaigns on low tariff platforms. He
was frankness itself on the subject.
But it was not until 1894 that he got
chance TO put his ideas into con-
gressional measure. The tariff bill
passed by the House that year was in
large measure shaped by him as chair
man of ways and means; and that per-
formance ended his political career at
home Mr.. Cleveland took care of him
by appointing him to the vacancy ex-
isting in the Postmaster Generalship;
and from that Office Mr.. Wilson passed
70 the presidency of the University of
Virginia
This West Virginia result should not
he lost on the platform makers at Chi
cago The tariff plank prepared there
should be definite and to the point.
Not Chinese wall affair, nor fashioned
in the interest of industries that no
longer need protection. nor vet a vague
promise of doing something or other at
some time in the future, but promise
10 restore protection as a national pol
icy at an early day And then. if the
party wins, it should redeem its promise.

Bryan is not yet committed to prohibi-
tion as a national issue, Capt. Hobson
is. And in this primary contest just de-
cided he encountered the opposition Of
all the liquor forces. Like Mr.. Bryan,
he regards himself as victim of theirs.
Like Mr.. Bryan again, he remains q
democrat, and will support the st. Louis
nominees.
But how much longer will these two
men remain democrats9 Mr.. Bryan be-
ieves, as do other democrats and many
republicans. that prohibition cannot

for the cause. Each is combination of

The Botanic Garden Problem.

The problem of the future of the Bo-
tanic Garden. however difficult. should
be solved speedily. Two reports have
been filed from the House committee
ON library, one favoring removal of the
garden to Rock Greek Park, and the
other. from the minority. favoring its
retention at the present site with the
addition of the section of the Mall lying
Immediately west. Were it not for the
emplacement of the Grant Memorial on
the eastern edge of the garden reserva-
ton there would be little if any reason
for the disturbance of the botanical col
lection. 1t is ideally situated as to pub
lie convenience of access and forms
most attractive feature of the park sys-
tenn But the Grant Memorial and the
great greenhouse which constitutes the
jor feature of the garden are in OBJ
vious conflict The greenhouse stands
within the space pre-empted. so to speak,
in the plans for the approach to the
memorial, and if retained would need to
be removed to a more southerly posi-
ton. But it is practically certain that
the iron and glass structure could not
be moved. 1t is very old and would
probably fall to pieces if shifted. 1t
could not we'll be taken apart and re-
assembled, as the. sections have rusted
under the influence Of the moisture
from within.
The project for the removal of the
garden to Rock Creek Park has unde-
niable merits. 1t would there have am
pie room for expansion and for the de-
velopment in conjunction with it of
national arboretum. But it would not
be as accessible to the public as on the
present site The Sunday opening Of
the garden effected by Supt. Hess some
time ago has been most successful In
drawing crowds of people who have
shown a great interest in the plant col
lection. 1t is to be doubted if the same
number of persons would visit the gar
den If it were placed in Rock Creek
Park. In any case, if the Botanic Gar
den is definitely located in the park. a
representative plant collection should be
kept on the Mall site in greenhouses Of
suitable and attractive design as mat
ter Of public education and interest.
This matter should be settled at the
present session, as in all likelihood the
Grant Memorial will be finished within
another year, and a change will then
probably become imperative unless it
is decided to allow the greenhouses to
remain permanently where they are,
notwithstanding the presence Of the
monument to Grant.

The Skemngton Execution.

A most unhappy incident is reported
from London in the announced shooting
in prison without trial of F. 8. Skef
fngton, editor Of the Irish Citizen Of
Dublin, who, it ives yesterday acknowl-
edged in parliament, was put to death
by military order after arrest before
the proclamation Of martial law and
without the knowledge Of the military
authorities. Premier Asquith has stated
that the matter is under investigation
and that the officer concerned has been
arrested, and will be court t-martialed.
Two other summary executions of the
same character are reported and are
also under Investigation. The premier
has personally gone to Ireland to sur
vey the situation and meanwhile further
court martial proceedings have been
stopped.
Thus + in the conduct by the Eng
lish gov y5nment of the Irish punish

ments there has been a strict observ-
ance of the military law, which, not
withstanding the severity of the SEN
tences in twelve cases, has been ac'
cepted as an evidence of a disposition
to deal leniently with those responsible
Tor the uprising. The unwarranted kill
ing of prisoner without trial, however
it may be repudiated by the govern
ment later and those responsible pun
ished, cannot fail to have a bad effect
in Ireland. Already there is a disposi-
tion Oh the part of those Irish leaders
who have stood by the government in
this crisis to question the necessity of
further extreme punishments. and the
Skeffington case is almost certain to
cause serious reaction.
