Another Proposed Centennial.
It Is proposed nt Washington to
commemorate In 1U00, In some way
suitable to the event's slgnlllennee,
the centennial anniversary of tho es
tablishment of a pennanent national
capital. In view of the coincident
holding of the Paris exposition It 3
not contemplated to organize n world's
fair nor has the exact style of observ
ance been determined as yet, but It
Is felt and pioperly that the occa
sion should not be permitted to go by
without some Kind of conspicuous
notice.
The transfer of tho capital from
Philadelphia, to "Washington was be
gun Immediately after the adjourn
ment of congress May 20, 1&00, nnd
was accomplished within a few weeks;
but, as the Washington Star points
out, "owing to the Inadequate, anti
quated facilities tor travel the pil
grimage of the government ofllcers to

The New York Campaign.
Study of the political situation in
New York is Interesting and study
of the vote when counted will be In
structive as well. Pel haps novel he
roic In the history or this generation
has there been a more sharply defined
issue between two antithetical con
ceptions or public duty than is exhib
ited In tho opposing candidacies of
Roosevelt r-nd Van Wvck
The lelalionshlp of Judge Van
Wvck to public affairs Is that of n
rcciietl but obedient partisan, n will
ing beneficiary of the power of com
pact political organisation without es
ppplal sctuple as to methods: a man
who probnblv Is mildly consclontlous
when not Interfered with but whose
view ot political slrugglp Is that It Is
mainly a battle for spoils, In th wag
ing of which there Is allowable latitude-,
and who thetefore would not
permit conscience at any time or un
der any circumstances to lead him far
avvav from his associates In other
words, he Impresses one as being In
all lespccts save perhaps in personal
rescive, which Is abnormal, a very
common-place man without ideals or
enthusiasms, who does not greatly
care how the public in general fires
so long as he and his friends are polit
ically i omfortable.
Theodoie Jtoosevelt, on the other
hand, is as cneigetle In his moial
coinage and as tenacious In r?spect to
pilnelple as he Is physical! vlille and
Iiiepte'slblp. When he Fays that If
eWted gov ei nor be will keep his
piomlsu, swerving neither to the
light pen to the left by so much as
a holr's breadth, and when he dls
tlnetb proclaims his Intention to ear
ly Into public ofTlce the same moral
stindatdb and the same requirements
as to dlllgciice and fidelity of service
that are lccognUed as indispensable
In pilvnte lulattoiu. theie Isn't a man
v Ithln tho boidets of the Empire state
who doesn't feel that to the extent of
his ability Roosevelt will keep his
wotd. The very fact thut he Is abso
lutely loailoi-8 and honest hns come
to be icgarupil by raanj students of
Ills canvass a.s an clement of danger.
ThOM) used to "handling" governots
generally piefer a governor that they
can handle. Some of the laige com
mon lal financial institutions of New
Yoik city aie belle veil at this time, not
o.s a mattet ot politics so much as a
nvitter of business, to be reudv to
choose the Tammany kind of gover
nor In pieference to the Roosevelt
type, on tho pilnelple. that when tho
need Tammany's help thev know ex
actly how to get It. And It goes with
out salng that If there are any crooks
In olhce In Now York state or having
hope In that dliectlon thelt instincts
would Incline them u long wav In the
opposite dliectlon fiom the Republi
can nominee.
This being tine, how large a iote
will Roosevelt draw fiom the better
elements'' The answer to this ques
tion, when given In the election re
turns, will bo worthy of study. If
with nil the advantages of a winning
personality and the glamoi of mllltaiy
heroism added to the absence of or
ganised paity division Theodore
Roosevelt shall bo unable to secure a
majority of the votes cast In tho fore
most etato In the Union, whlcn ought
at this time If ever to be overwhelm
ingly Republican, because as n public
turv.nnt in past positions he has dono
neither more nor less than his duty
as he saw it, cringing to no man, tha
set back to good covernm?nt will b
Kreat. A defeat on this basis would
not permanently Injure Roosevelt but
It might and probably would have n
discouraging effect for many years to
come upon the niornle of polities In
genet at.
It Is worthy of nolo In teference to
the Roosevelt canvass that while, the
law -breakers and the tough ulcment
are against Teddy to a man, those
ptofcsslonal apostles of pure Ideals,
the Mugwumps, are by no mans uni
ted In his suppott. If ho Is elected
It will havo to be bv the nrou?ed con
science nnd good judgment of clean
citizens without particular lcspect to
pnily; that Is to f.ay, he will have to
have tho bulk of the Republican vote
nnd a big lift from the Independents
beside. It Is Indeed an Interesting sit
uation which Justly commands nation
al attention.
An Alabama mob lias expressed re
gret at lynching the wrong man the

bama mob would rather lynch the
vviong man than to refrain from
lynching anyone when public spirit for

The citizens of Santiago have asked

Tim ELECTIONS this fall

T'nlted States to serve
HE ELECTIONS this fall In-
one-
the
e for
six years and the entire house of lep
lesentntlvew to serve for two yeais
fiom thp 4th of next Match. It seems
reasonably certain that the senate of
the United States, for the llrst time In
twelve jears, will contain a clean
winking majority of sound-money sen
atoi. In the present senate theie are
12 Republican senatois, not Including,
of couise, an j of the silver senators
who were elected ns Republicans, like
Teller, I'ettlgrevv, Cannon, Mantle, &c.
Already a sound-money Republican
Benator hne been gained In Maryland
and one In Oregon It 1b reasonably
sure thut the Republicans will gain a
senator In Wisconsin and In California.
It is certainly putting tho case mildly
to say thnt the Republicans have an
equal chance of electing a senator this
winter In each of the states of Now
York, New Jetsey, Del.iwaie, West
Virginia and Indiana, each of which
would be a gain. The Republican
lenders aio confident that they will
elect n senator In North Da.kot.1 In
plaro of Roach, whloh will be a gain,
nnd advices from Nebraska are that
the chances of electing a Republican
successor to Allen, the ablccst Populist
In the senate, are very bright. In sev
eral olher states the Republicans have
a fair chance of gaining a senator The
only two states where It seems poasl
l e for the Republicans to lose a sena
tor this winter are Washington and
Wyoming. It seems reasonably cer
tain, therefore, that the next oenato of
the United States will contain a clean
cut majority for sound mone.
o
"The house of representatives Is In
doubt, and It Is extremely difficult to
make a forecast, as one has to be fa
miliar with political conditions over
tho entire country. In the present
oongrcfis tho Republicans have a cau
cus majority of about 53 over the com
bined opposition of Populists and Dem
ocrats, ho that they could lose 20 con
gressmen and still keep control of the
house. Thnt they will lose congress
men Is admitted: the question In doubt
Is, will the net loss be moie thnn 20?
It is believed by Republican managers
that If Republican losses occur In the
elections next month they will be In
tho ea&t and south ntably New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Car
olina, Kentucky, Mlssouil and the Vir
ginias. These losses probably will ag
giognto from 20 to SO members On
tho other hand galn are expected In
fhe Central West Nebiaska, Kansas,
and In some of the silver states. Tho
gains In the West ore estimated at
about 10 membeis. It in plain, there
fore, that unless there Is a tidal wave,
w hlch Is not apparent at the moment,
the next nouse of representatives will
be very close politically. "With a Re
publican picsldent nnd a sound-money
sei.ate, an adverse house of represen
tatives would be powerless to do any
actual Injury to the industiles of the
count!)' As theie will probably bo
from 20 to 2.", Populists In the house, It
Is evident that no speaker could he ue
lected by the Democrats except by a
coalition with the Populists. This
would certainly foieshadow the selec
t on of Bailey of Texas, the present
leadi r of the minority In tho house, as
HpcHser, In the place of that great
American, Tom Reed. Tho caucus
nominates by a majority vote and all
membeis of the party are expected to
sup) ort the ceiuctw nominee or forfeit
all jcliticnl recognition As the speak
er appoints the committees of the
house, this would mean that the shap
ing of all legislation would he in tho
hands of a frce-sllvei-PopulIstlc-Dem-ocratlc
