W, It. Andrews, C. K. Vooiheos, Heo
ntarles. One of the boasts made by the or
ganizers of the anti-Quay campaign in
tho forthcoming legislative primaries is
that they already have nt command n
J.TOO.OOO war fund. The purification of
politics by men ot the Van Valkenberg
typo is evidently mmewhat expensive.
The War on Quay.
ONE OF THK peculiar things
about tho fight of the Insur
gents against Colonel Quay
Is that while they claim to
have him politically dead and burled
beyond all possibility ot a resurrec
tion, they yet feel called upon to crow
furiously in triumph every tlmo they
secure an upparent advantage over
him.
For example: On Friday of last weo:.
the senate committee on privileges and
elections, to which had been refer: od
for examination the certificate of Col
onel Quay's appointment by tho gov
ernor us a senator pro tempore, de
cided, by a vote ot four lo three, that
upon such credentials the colonel could
not be admitted. Although this decis
ion had been anticipated for weeks nnd
acknowledged by all the supporteis of
Quay, his enemies herald It in poster
type as, if It were the ultimate solution
of the whole matter. As a matter of
fact, tho vote in committee affords no
clue whatever to the standing which
the issue will have when brought to a
vote in the open senate. There will bo
a majority and a minority report; the
one against seating Quay nnd the other
in favor of seating him: and If a major
ity of the senators believe that he
should bo seated, seated ho will be,
regardless of the opinion of the pilvl
leges and elections committee, while on
the other hand If a majority of the
senators believe tlut he should not ba
seated, they will so vote entirely un
influenced by the committee. Whether
Quay has or has not the support of u
majority in the senate we do not know,
and until a vote is taken all prophecy
must bo vain.
One thing Is clear, though; the pub.
He is becoming nauseated by the reck
less abuse and misrepresentation char
acteristic of the present organized op
position to Quay. By Its mendacity the
insurgent cause is overreaching Itself.
A report Is current that Secretary
Hoot prefers his piesent position to
that of vice-president, because there
Is more opportunity fur usefulness In
It. Such a piefen-nce is readily com
prehensible. -
Inconceivably Absurd.
""VE UEPOHT In some of yes
I teiday'i cable advices that
J Lord Salisbury's reply, ex
pected today, to Ambassa
dor Choate's protest at tho seizure by
British otTlcl.ils of American flour con
'sinned. to a neutral port in South Af
rica u HI bo an nlilrmation of England'.!
jrlght to seize and seatch neutral ships
.Plying between neutral ports can hard
ily be more than conjectural. Apart
fiom tho political folly of such a posi
tion nt this time, which would not
only force (lermany to Join the Fran-co-Prnssian
alliance but also constrain
tho United States tn take adequate
.measures to protect its own commerce,
Jt would, as Professor Woolsey points
-out, be an abandonment by England ot
all precedent.
"At the end of tho last century," Dr.
-Woolsey notes, "Great Urltnln under
look to consider provisions contraband
'when bound for Franco In American
'ships. Our government protested.
Thereupon by Jay's treaty England
.promised to buy tho provisions instead
jof selling them. That was not satis
factory to our government, and to all
uppeoranees the British government In
time dropped tho contention. In the
Franco-Chinese war Franco considered
rice contraband when bound for Chin
ese ports. England protested, ani
'v.art.Jiej point. Sej that now even If
Jirovlslons in neutral ships were bound
foriiaeTransvaal It would not he In
accord with tho historical policy of this
country to submit to the seizure, nor
would It be In line with England's re
cent history."
- The New York Sun recalls that dur
ing mix cJYl.l war; the town of Mata
tnorn,"ln-51ex"lco; on'fhe "south bank
the win rtrandp. ncnuniprl a nosltlnn
very similar to that now occupied by
Lorenzo Mnrques, the Portuguese poit
in Dolagoa bay, A blockade had been
established by tho United States
against the Confederate porta on the
north bank of the lllo Grande, and, to
avoid this, cargoes were shipped to
Mataluorar, and in hen landed then?
were conveyed across the lllo Orando
to Confederate territory. Thu ship
Peterhoff, while bound to Mntnmnrns,
was captured by tho United States
licet. She carried a mixed cargo, part
of which was certainly contraband,
while a part consisted of provisions,
which were in nil probability destlnc.l
for sale In tho Confederacy, but tut
necessarily for mllltnry consumption.
The ship was libelled, and the case
was carried to the Supiemo court.
That court adjudged the arms and am
munition that were a part of the cargo
to be contraband, and condemned them
as such, but it declnted the provisions'
to be Innocent merchandise, and, as
such, not subject to condemnation.
There is no wish on the part ot the
United States to embarrass tho prog
rcsrf of the British campaign In South
Africa. The desire Is to be a friendly
neutral. But the Importance of pro
tecting Ameilcan commerce Is such
that not even from so friendly a pow
er as England can we tolerate seiz
ures on tho high seas n3 to the Justice
of which there Is reasonable doubt.
The Idea that we can admit England'?
right to hold up our innocent trade In
neutrnl ships between neutral ports is
Inconceivably absurd.
The llrst year's revenue collectlonn at
Havana, In spite of frauels, exceed by
$:nfl0,u0i or neatly -.'3 per cent, tho
war department's original estimate.
On Its llnanelal side expansion Is un
doubtedly going to provo a. welcome
surprise.
Scotching the Trusts.
REMEDIES FOB TBUSTS
are multiplying like tho celU
in leavened dough. In tlu
house ot represetitJltVeja at
Washington two bills are pending
which by reason ot their novelty are
worthy of a passing glance.
One of these, introduced by Itepro
sentalivo Daly, of Now Jersey, pro
vides that when t'n or mors c ltlzens
present n petition verified by the oaths
of nt least five of them to a judge of
any United States District court, al
leging that a trust or combination ex
ists within the Jurisdiction of tho court,
It shall be the duty of th Judge to
make summary inquiry mi J re-port his
opinion to the president, who, in casa
the opinion is agains. the trust, shall
direct tho collector of customs to admit
free of duty the artiste or avllcles con
trolled by such trust or comoinalion.
This bill, It will be seen, piojiosei at
once to bring the matter up to the
door of the complaining utUen.
The other, by BiptvMDKatlve; Haines,
ot Tennessee, ptopj.ien lo n.cliulf from
the use of the mall par.i'H who sefk
"to abolish, abridge or In any vi3c
affect open and free .-smpr.iltiou m
trade, or exclude vivalry bi'tween the
parties thereto, n- to pbrnU'd competi
tion between otheis :X'i,'!to or them
selves and others (ni'.i-vvl In lllo or
other buslir.'s. Second, to create or
promote any restrictions In trade or
commerce, or to limit or restrict pro
duction of any artlc'.-j or commodity
of trade unduly to nft'ect the maiket.
Third, to nfieet the wae-a of em
ployes of themiselve-.s or others, or
diminish the oppnrtur.ItlM of wage
earneis by contracting production,
abridging competition or otherwise, or
to create monopolies," etc. Just who Is
to decide these points of fact does
not appear. If tho poatmaster general,
ho will become a busy man.
These propositions are better In
spirit than In substance. Their Intent
is good; their methods bad. It is evi
dent that the authots of them have
not read tho very nbl3 message of
Governor Roosevelt upon ithis subject,
In which he pclnts out the need, llrst
of all, of a knowledge of the fact.s as
to trusts. "When a tiust beeomcH a
monopoly, the state," he claims, "ha-j
an Immediate right to interfere. Care
should be taken not to stlf!;' enter
prise or disclose nny facts of a busi
ness that are essentially private; but
tho state for tho protection of tho
public should exercise the right to in
spect, to examine thoroughly all tha
workings of groat corporations just as
If. now dono with banks; and when
ever the Interests of tho public demand
It, It should publish the results ot lt3
examination. Then, if there are inor
dinate profits, competition or public
sentiment will give the public tho bene
fit In lowered prices; and if not. tho
power of taxation remains. It Is,
therefore, evident that publicity Is the
one sure and adequate remedy which
we can now invoke. There may bo oth
er remedies, but what these others ars
we can only ilnd out Ly publicity, as
the result of investigation. Tho llrst
requisite is knowledge, full and com
plete." The commission appointed by Gover
nor Boosevelt to overhaul the educa
tional system of New York stato has
reported Infavornf ccntiallzlng author
ity In the person of a chancellor of the
board nf tegents, who is to lecelvo J10,
000 a year nnd bo chosen for a term of
eight years. It is contemplated that
this olllclal would bo the chief execu
tive of education, with rank, dignity
and pay equal to those of the chief
Judge of the court of appeals or of the
governor himself: and with coriespond
Ing authority. In tho vaiious mtinlul
palltlea sectional or district school
boards arc to bo abolished nnd general
boards substituted, of limited size and
elective at large. Boosevelt has a rare
knack of going to tho heart of a prob
lem. Governor General Davis l expending
on education in Puerto Rico $330,000,
which is SO per cent, more than Spain
ever spent; but ho says It would take
$4,000,000 to give a fair education to all
tho children of school age In the Island,
Four million dollars could not bo more
advantageously invested.
What, If any, truth (hero Is In thu
recurring newspaper gossip relative to
frictions In Washington ofllclnl so
ciety, growing out of tho order ot
prcceelenrn at state functions, persons
nt a dlttance can hardly ptcsumo to

or to Mr. Dewey, as occupying a simi

In tho ceremonious etiquette of the

These Issues mny bo very Important
but they hnpplly do not ngltntn the

afford to leave them to whom thoy
most concern.

HUMAN NATURE STUDIES.
Mrs. Dewey's Wit.
The qulck-wtttedness of Admiral
Dewey's wife, Just at present one of
tho most conspicuous women In Amer
ica, is shown by the following incident
of her life In Washington when she
was Mrs. Ilazen, relates the New York
Tribune. General Hazen was the llrst
head of tho weather bureau -in Wash
ington. It was almost Impossible to
persuade the members of congress to
vote for him the necessary funds with
which to carry out his plans as he de
sired, and he was at the same time
grumbled at as if ho were positively
and personalty responsible for the
weather, which It was a fad of the
moment to say that he furnished. Mr..
Hazen was the recipient of all his
woes, and gave him her full sympathy,
especially one spring when the appro
pilatlon had been shamefully cut down
by the economy loving chairman of the
committee on that special appropria
tion. A few days after the passing of the
mutilated bill Mrs. Hazen was a guest
nt an afternoon reception at the house
of one ot the cabinet members, where
the most detestable and undurablu
weather, untimely and unlooked for.
was the topic of the moment. As Mrs.
Hnzen crossed the room to make her
adieus to her hostess she was waylaid
by the arriving chairman of the of
fending committee, who accosted her
thus:
"Well, Mrs. Hazen, well, madam, and
Is this the best your husband can do
for us In the way of weather?"
Mrs. Hazen turned, looked nt him
with a sudden Hash In her pretty eyes,
then answered, clearly and sweetly:
"Yes, Mr. Blank, the very best for
the appropriation."
The discomfited man lied, In the
midst of the hardly concealed smiles
A Natural Mistake.
A few yearn before his death Allen
G. Thurma'n, of Ohio, was engaged us
counsel in a lawsuit which was tried
before a country judge In one of the
small towns in the central part of the
Ftate, says the Chicago Times-Herald.
Opposing Judge Thurman was a youn?
lawyer named Cnssldy, who wot a his
hair pompadour, assumed an air of
great dignity and was apparently
greatly impressed with his own Im
portance. Upon several occasions dur
ing the progress of thMrlal Thurmnn
referred to his legal opponent as "Mr.
Necessity." The yournj man arose
whenever this occurred and with great
gravity reminded the court that his
name was Cassldy. Finally, after the
offense had een repeated about a
dozen times, the pompous attorney ex
claimed: "I must again remind counsel upon
tho other side that my name is Cassl
dy. I can't understand why he per
sists In maintaining that it is Neces
sity." "I beg the gentleman's pardon," sail
Thurman. "Tho reason I kept get
ting him confused with Necessity is, I
presume, due to the fact that the lat
ter knows no law."
General Buller's Grit.
Sir Bedvers Buller Is credited with
being of that typo of ofllcer whose
"butcher bill' Is rather more likely
than not to be large. That he is no:
a person who will allow any ordinary
considerations to swerve him from
what lie thinks Is his duty was shown
at a dinner nt his house not long ago,
i elates the New York Press. A cer
tain well known man was present, nnd
told an anecdote which was so "oif
color" that the ladles were excessive
ly displeased and distressed.
When dinner was over Sir Bedvers
rang tho bell.
"Mr. A.'s carriage." he ordeied when
the butler appeared.
"I do not expect my brougham so
eaily," said Mr. A., and there was a
gleam of defiance In his eyes.
Sir Bedvers did not reply, but ha
took Mr. A. uy the .arm and led him
gently tu tho hull. "It Is time for you
to go," he said, qul.tly, and his guest
went.

Not Imprccsed with Royalty.
Tills tale has to elo with Klpllng'3
little lost Josephine, writes Kennetn
Herford In the Detroit Free Press.
Once the poet was driving up Arundel
street, In London, toward tho Strand,
when, all of a sudden, the hand of tho
"bobby" ahead was raised. The word
wus passed down the street that her
majesty was coming down the Strand
on an official visit to the lord muyor at
the Mansion House. Josephine hud
never seen the rjueen nnd Kipling
thought it was ,i good opportunity to
Instill a little r-verenco In her. He
raised the child high In his arms that
she might see Victoria. The outriders
pranced by, followed by the royul car
ilnge. When It was all over and tho
linger of tho law wus lowered Kipling
put down the child. He snld: "Well,
Josephine, what do you think of It?"
Much to his amazement the child re
plied: "Papa, did you sco tho funny
red soldiers on horseback?"
Thereafter Kipling never exerted
himself to point out her majesty to any
member of his family.
Changed His Religion.
A Memphis man, a member of the
Episcopal church, tells of an old ne
gro who, before the war, belonged to
a family of Episcopalians, nays tha
Cincinnati Enquirer. He was their
coachman, and was a staunch Episco
palian, but after the war he Joined
thtj Methodist church. His former
owner paw him one diy after he hnd
changed his faith, and said: "Mose,
you black rascal, you, I hear you've
Joined tho Methodists."
"Yus, snh, Mars John," answered
Mose, "I Is."
"Well, what did you do It for? You
used to be a good Episcopalian."
"Well. Mais John, I'll tell you. I
Ink de 'Piscopallans all right, 'cept at
church. Hit tako 'em so long to rend
de 'secdln'8 uv elo las' meetln' dnt dey
nln't no time left fur d sermon."
Scotch Frankness.
In a Perthshire village recently a
gentleman got out his violin to enter
tain some friends, says the Dundee
Journal. After ho had played a couple
of tunes, he paused for a moment and
said, "I hope you like the music, for
I dinna pretend to be a fiddler, you
know, and I never will be. I alwayj
icmember what a man, told me when
I llrst began to learn tho fiddle. When
I started I thought I was getting on
splendidly, but he said to me, "Yea!
that's It, Is't? Wccl, If n' the good
fiddlers In Scotland were to bo ta'cn
an' drooned 1' the noo, there's ne'er a
