M. S. Quay. There is tio question us
to tho iultublllty uf Mr. Jinks. Thu
recent campaign lius acclimated lilm
to the Inevitable result.
The Caucus.
Tho party caucus Is coming In for
a lot of criticism Juat now from the
Wnnamaker lolloulmr In jmlltlcs, ho
hope to combine with tho Democrat!)
In tho election of a senator hostile to
Quay. The cp.uiuis H not an Institu
tion hnvlnp kRal sanction, nevertheless
it N n ri'connbed Instiument of liec
p.:iry paity discipline and tho prob
obllltles aio that few Republicans will
care to bolt It.
If the conditions were i "Versed, l!
the WanamakT ciowd could muster u
majority In li Republican lealslatlvo
caucus they would now bo shoutlnpr
In favor of the caucus with might and
main, lluc beliiK In a minority they
li.ne no use loi th wlh of the ma
jority. They are leadv to cast party
prlnrlplfs nud everything else to th
winds In tin- hope of thwarting1 the
republican nujoilty in thu next legls
latuie. We do not believe that the
Donvociutic membeis-elcct nio rcuib
to play Into Wjiuinnker's hands by
ubanilonluK thcli own party to help
Wannmaker pull n. Republican boltci
tluouRh. That would bo a porry speo
taelo for all concerned. Inasmuch as
the Demuciata would hao to bo relied
upon for tuo-thlids of the votes nec
cssaiy to eleit a Wunimiukci "Uopub
llca.u" btnutur, it is piepofctetous to
Mippuse that thry would consent to
Klo those rotes without cs.ictlnK
pledges which would make tho man ot
their choice vlrtuall a Democrat in
Ills tonatorlil adlllatloiii. PennfjI
tanla docs not want In the benatc of
the Unite il Stetos a man with a Dein

If Itepubllcans oppctcd to Quay can
Induce by legitimate means a major
ity of the Itcpubllc.in membeis of the
next lcKlsletuie to fior hoiup other
man than Qu.iy for lnlted States hen
ntor then Quay ought to letlrc irom
tlie lace. It they cannot do this, they
lnd better take their medicine like
little men and not go ni.inoeuveilns
lor help among the Democrats.
Tho Uu-ilncss Men s league, of Phila
delphia, clulinj that its members
evPiyvhcto supported Republican can
didates for the national house of rep
resentatives, if it was the lejpue's
t-upport that caused I'rniiilvaiiiii to
lone neven Republican eengrcssmen at
the recent election, the league will
piobably continue to be a good organ
ization to have on the other Hide.
Tho Secretary of War.
There probably Is no truth in the
newsrapor story that Senator McMil
lan Is to go to Unglantl so that Secre
tary Alger maj succeed him in tho
bumti'. Yet tt would not bo sin pris
ing it, now thut he Is no longer "under

clay, find u convenient moans of ictU
Ing fiom the caUwt. Huch a couis
ould l.ot fall to be a relict to him, us
It doubtless would be to otheis. also.
Undoubtedly Genual Alger has been
fbUbPd and critic Ized most unjustly
for man t'dngs lor which he was in
no t-ont-o lesponsible, undoubtedly,
uIo, he has done his utmost for his
country and Is entitled to sympathy
inthT than blame. Yet tho fact le
iwitrif that Mictions und prejudices
have allien dining his tenure of of

among the c iflccrs of the army, which
will handicap the important futmr

then1 inn be lessened while cleneial
Alfixi lemalns ut l)v head Is question
able Tin pioprlcty ot relieving tho

baiiassmeuts now that resignation
can bo voluntary and nut foic-d will

letary of vuu, and It this hluil' riove
ti no. It will become pc&slble tor the
piesldent to 3lect for the vacated
place Homo man whose knowledge of
mlllturj matleis is modern and com-piehenslve-
and who will be In position
to piollt by the mistakes ot his piede
cessors. In this connection we quote fiom an
article by Major General O. O. How
ard, retired, published In last wctk's
Outlook, At the conclusion of a paper
Allowing the need of army lecrganlzu
tlon und enlargement he off'is this
significant suggestion- "I cannot help
thinking that the piesldent himself
had better woik the army through Us
commanding gcncial Thcie would bo
huflielcnt seopo tor hlB eeoieimy of
war to dliect that general what to do,
and to uso all the hupply depaitments
to back up that same genciul In his
taskfc, and then hold him thoroughly
icspoiiblblu for tho faithful e-eeutlon
of his Inbtructlons If this couise ap
pears, In view of present legislation,
to be Impracticable or undesltable,
then I would ask congress to abolish
the office of commander of tho aimy
altogether, and have It distinctly un
derstood that tho honorablo secretary
of war was ox officio thnt commander.
Now that the army must be cnlaiged,
thero ought never to be anv doubt us
to what officer commands tho army. If
wo can fix this mutter, and also pre
vent thu lifting uf Inexperienced and
Incompetent persons Into places which
they arc not fitted to All, wo shall have
taken two steps tow aids relieving our
mniy from confusion, discouragement,
and unnecessary weakness "
Tho rvents of tho past jear have
mude it clear as crystal to tho Ameil
can people that In Nelson A Miles
th army has u commanding general
who knows ills business, has the quail
ties which his ofllre requires and
khould bo clothed with additional re
sponsibility and authority. Inasmuch
as clrtumstunces lmvo uilsea which

Therelsnoothor English statesman, I
wo may except Mr. .Tames Uryce, who
undersliDidh Ameilcn and American n

pathetically that Mr. Chamberlain. Ilia
fainllv relationship and his peiio Ileal

hapy not in vciy llattetlng ternif. the
secretary of state for the Rrltlsh coloi.
leg comes among us and lives among u
from time to tlmo a bilcf, but quiet
domesticated life. What Mr. Chamber
lain has bald In regard to that bettor
feeding nnd better understanding br
tween the two conn tiles which now ex-
Ifetf, and which exigency of the war en
gendered, Is due ccitnlnly In a far greater
degree to him than to any other En
glishman. Wo can better undei stand
Mr Chamberlain's bervlces to this
countrv and to his own when we an
nounce that It was almost throuaii
his unsupported influence In th
Rilllsh cabinet that n war was
averted betv.cen the United States
und Great lirltaln over the Ven
ezuela boundaiy dispute. Hostilities
with England would pcrhups have been
a fitting cIof.e to Mr. Cleveland's pres
idential caieer, but what a catacljsmal
dislocation of the progicss of civiliza
tion slieh a. war would have been none
know better than Mr. Chambeilaln or
less than Mr. Cleveland.
Mr. Chambeilaln has no wild nnd
undigested notions of the Identity of
Interests of the two countries. Ho
knows how much of tho DrllMi mater
ial has gone to make up the fiesli
novelty of American life in the- woild.
Ho does not anticipate the millennium,
but he believes that that entente which
now exists between the great Anglo
Saxon races In tho eastern and western
hemlsuhctcs will do more to safe
guird tho pence of the world than tho
combined militarism of Euiope. The
people of the United States, on the oth
er hand, believe In the slnceilty ot Ililt
Ih profession!'. After an tstiangement
which hab lusted over a hundred eais
It I't not wonderful that this leciprocity
of si ntlnunt Is lets eftuslve on our p.ut
than it Is appaicntly on the part ot
England. Hut, then, we are not a de-mons-tiatlve
race. When all Is said and
done, however, this affinity ot race,
laws, language and lttcratiuo is more
enduring and moio unsweivlng than
moldy parchments lined w 1th the fud
ing autogiaplin of kings and diplomats.
Mr. Chambeilaln was much more ex-
pllct In the Anglo-French embroglio
than Eord Salisbury was at the Man
sion House bunquet. Mr. Chamberlain
states catefeoilcally England's position:
"If better ickitlons aie to be estab
lished. It will be necehsaiy for Fiench
politician.' to abandon tactics whose
object has been to hamper and cmbat
rass Uiltlsh policy" This is plain
speaklns. The Tashoda Incident In
only one among many whh h have driv
en England to assume a position of de
fense and defiance. If Fiance Is alone
mentioned in the text. It ls plain fiom
the context that Russia is not foi got
ten. It Is a far ciy from Fnshoda to
Newfoundland, from Ivory to codfish.
Rut the chain of liiltlsh eomnieielal
Intel ests binds them together und It
Is thl3 chain which the French politi
cians t whom Mr. Chamberlain ho
significantly lefeis neek to intersect
nt one link now and at another again.
It Is evident fiom Mr. Chamberlain's
v oids that theie aio other British In
terests with which the Fiench politi
cians would do well not to luterfero
If they deslie to avert a war. Our own
Intel ests In the Newfoundland llsheilej
aie- Identical with those of England.
The plscatoilal labors of Now England
fishermen are thwuttcd by ihe dog-in-the-manger
policy of the Frem h gov
ernment. France claims exclusive fore
shore lights on tho Newfoundland coast
which not only embarrass Newfound
land and New 1'ngland llsheimen, but
piHdudo them from acquiring the fiults
of theli ha.ardou" toll and magnificent
opportunities A Newfoundland or a
New England flhernian Is not allowed
to catch bait within a certain limit
of the bhoie, he Is not allowed to put
ashore longer than tlneo hours, except,
of couise, In case of petil fiom bhlp
wreck: neither can he cure fish In or
expoit fleli from the zone of tho French
littoral. Consldeilng that Fiance does
not own an inch of Newfoundland tei
lltory and that theso rights on these
shoies, which she claims, aie sceuied
by antiquated tieaties, and that sh"
Insists upon their litcial fulfillment
without her own llsheimer leaping tho
slightest benefit in letum, It would not
puipilse us If now that Mr. Chumber
laln has spoken, England should de
mand tho nbiogatlon ot thero treaties
upon an altei native of war.
At all events Mr. Ciainbeil.iln will
oneo more tum the ejes of En
glishmen und of Amci loans towards
the question. Ensland Just now is In
the temper not merely to make no con
cession!:, hut in a matter of this kind
to demand them. The war clouds nio

speech will do nothing to dispel them.

when tho proposition Is nn abandonment

In tho light of this Impossibility and tho
possibility that some now platform may
rally a united Democracy, that tho party
will abandon frco silver In Its platform
cither by silence or evasion, and sock a
new national question upon which to con
solidate. This would necessitate tho
abandonment bv tho renrcbcntutlvcs In
that convention of more thnn one-half the
voting strength of tho party. There Is
not ono state, from California to tho
Pennsjlvnnlu line, nnd running south to
tho ocean, that will not bo represented, If
no revolution within the party takes place
during tho next two venrs, by a stron?
column of earnest, shouting free silver
men. They must bo or they must adver
tise to their pooplo the complete abandon
