Tho Itcpubllcan party Is not bo poor In vicc-iucsldentliil material that there Is any excuse for threatening to force the nomination on a man who doesn't want It. An Opportunity Lost. REPOUT CREDITS the Itc publlcan leaders with hav ing very reluctantly given up the hope of Inducing Gov ernor Roosevelt to withdraw his re fusal to e considered a candidate for vice president, and It Is said that while some of them are disposed to favor the nomination of Secretary Lone or of Representative James S. Sherman of Utlca, New York's unsuccessful can didate for tho speakership, others are Inclined to conclude that the east docs not want tho vice presidency and therefore are looking over the western field for available material. Imagine the difference which would be worked In this situation if tho Re publicans of Pennsylvania, without re gard to faction, should make a con certed effort through their representa tive party leaders to secure tho vice presidency for their own state. Now York not wanting It, Pennsylvania could have It for tho asking, and where throughout the nation Is a candidate more fit than Charles Kmory Smith? There are opportunities which do not bold open long, and this Is one of them. Action must follow words If the vice presidency Is to come to our common wealth. There used to be talk of a Miles pi evidential boom, but tho experience of Dewey will keep the general under cover. The Problem of the Friars. K.VATOIt MORGAN'S amend ment to tho Spooncr Philip pine resolution binding the Auu'ilcan government to exe cute the pledges made nnd subsequent ly broke'n by Spain when by trickery she overcame tho insurrection of 1S96 calls up the most difficult of our prob lems In the archipelago, the relation ship of the government to the friars. There Is little misunderstanding of this problem among Americans who have had opportunity to study the subject at fit pt hand. We have talked with a number of returned American military officers, men without ecclesi astical bias, and wo have read the opinions of other Amorlcnns, military and civilian, who have personally In vestigated the matter, and there Is practical unanimity In tho belief that ns a whole the friars have fairly earned tho ill-will in which they are regarded. One of the clearest discus sions of tho problem that we have seen is presented In a letter to tho Wash ington Star by one o its editors who Is now in tho Philippines. This writer, Mr. Theodore W. Noycs, says: "I have been disappointed in my ex pectation that I would find tho Filipi nos, outside of tho' hostile finctlon In arms, full of confidence In the Ameri cans and heartily welcoming their con trol. Their attitude is apparently one of anxious expectancy, tinged with more or less of hopefulness, nccordlng to .the Individual disposition. I believe that this doubt concerning the benefit of American control is based more upon uncertainty concerning our policy in respect to tho friars than in respect to any other issue whatsoever, even that of full self-government. I do not think that there will be genuine peace, happiness and prosperity In the Philip pines, if wo attempt, nnd as long as we continue, to enact Spain's role as the ally and backer of the friars." .-' Mr.-Noyes ptocceds tv tell at consul- . crablu length what gilevunces he found, against the frlais among the more intelligent natives, and he adds: "The Filipino hatred of the fiiars Is pot directed ngainst them as Roman Catholics. The muss of tha Filipinos are Catholics', nnd there U no religious revolt-whatsoever. Tho churches aie , well attended. The Romun Catholic .dhiirch will in its own Interest do well loKHinslder how fur it is wlso to alien ate a Catholic papulation by attempt- "Ing'to Torre upon tho people as Its rep. lesentatlvcfl men who aie feniqd and detested. Of course, generalizations about the frlnts us a body will foil to fit the cases of some individual priests, who ns good men may bo peisonallv acceptable to their parishes. Hut on the broad question ot making the cause of the frlurs Its own the decision .of tho Roman ohurch Is eagerly await .jeel, botli by the Filipino people and by the Piotestant denominations of the world, which nro ready to take udvun trge of any blunder in policy which may bo committed. "Thoro' is no leason why Ameilcan Catholics should side with the filars. These men nie Spanlurds, with moro than the iintuial national grtidgo against us, 'Phey arc the essence of -BpauUli inUaovernment in tho Philip- i plnesvwhlch we liuvo oveitluowni they ' Imtb us and spit 'upon our flag. In rr't c cs If returned (o tho Villages they will bfcomo centers of nntl Amerlcan sentiment and Influence. If Luzon Is to bo gradually" Americanized till task will be aided, so for -as tho Influence of the Romun church ex tends, only through Kiigllsh-Rpeaklng priests. In Panoy, as In Luzon, tho monastic ordera have been driven out by the people. Speaking to mo on this subject at Hollo, Ccneral Hughes said that In his opinion the Catholic church should put In every parish u sensible KngllHli-HpcakIng priest, to dispel gradually the prejudice against the Spanish friars and- to counteract the Influence of the native priests, who nre ulmost all insurrectos, and In many cases Ignorant and corrupt." Tho pledges of Spain, which Senator Morgan wants our government to ful fill, Included among other things tho promise to expel the friars. It Is not possible for tho United States to exe cute any such pledge ns this. It can not officially recognize either for re ward or punishment any ecclesiastical order; It can consider only tho coses of Individuals against whom complaint Is mode according to tho forma of law. Tho United States should not be tho nlly nor tho prosecutor of tho friars. It should have no knowledge of friars as friars. It should stop Injustice, prevent outrage and punish crime fearlessly and Irrespective of per sons, nnd In tho long run this policy will upbuild stable Institu tions, in the meantime, wo have no doubt that tho American Influences ot the Catholic church will prevail In the substitution In nil our new territory of a clergy qualified to sympathize with nnd to aid In the construction of Amer ican Institutions. The Scranton Times has made the discovery that Senator Clark, the Montana Croesus, is a Republican. This will bo news In Washington. For Vice President. A T THE TRIBUNE'S mast head today is nailed the col ors ot Charles Emory Smith for vice-president. The Trib une has suggested this nomination in perfect good faith. It was not Intended ns an ldlo or meaningless compliment to the man. But It was tho result of irresistible conclusion nfter dispassion ate and mature reflection. Intervening political conditions accentuate The Tribune's foresight in its suggestion of Mr. Smith's nomination. Every state (Pennsylvania always excepted) with an element of pivotal politics in this year's electorate has been senrchlngly canvassed by the Republican leaders for an available candldnte for the vice presidency. The name of almost every prominent Republican in the country, regardless of local political conditions, has been mentioned In the same con nection. No state except 'New York has been seriously considered, and no name outside that state has been sori iously considered by tho Republican leaders. With New York excluded, the question Is narrowed down to the most available outside candidate for tho nomination. Avallabilitylsthetest. And if availability means non-compromising honesty, unquestioned capacity, de votion to Republican principles, con spicuous public service, sound Judg ment, tried statesmanship, inflexible integrity, a strong, robust manhood, n clean, pure life, a typical American yeoman, Charles (Emory Smith fills tho requirement. Pennsylvania commando the situation. Tho announcement that Peck's Sun had suspended publication the other day, scarcely caused a ripple of com ment. For some years past the paper has been entirely forgotten outside of tho city in which It was published. Peck's Sun entered the field ns an hu morous publication and became cele brated at a period when a great deal of tedious matter passed for wit. Among the most noted productions of tho Sun weio a number of articles en titled "Peck's Bad Boy," and many an ambitious youngster has come to grief In the endeavor to net as funny as the hero of tho "Bad Boy" series. With in the last decade, however, the stock in trade ot tho Sun has failed to at tract attention, and the once brilliant orb of western journalism lias gone down behind the horizon, unnoticed and unmoumed. Accompanying tho report of the col lapse of a big brick building in Pitts burg which lesulled in the death ot three persons and the injury of sev eral others, the announcement Is made that the building inspector will make an investigation. It seems as though it would have been better if the build ing inspector had made an Investi gation befora the building gave way. It should be the business ot the coro net's Jury to make Investigations and demonstrate if possible that the idea that nt thins seems to pievail else where to the effjet that the duty of a building Inspector consists chiefly In drawing ills salary, is dangerous to public afety. Colonel Boles' comment upon tho Pueito RIcan tariff arrangement, that It is "an dbsoluto necorslty," epitom izes tho situation as revealed to every open-minded American visitor to Puerto Rico. In their piesrnt condi tion tho musses of tho inhabitants of that island simply could not pay the direct taxes which would be necessary to support their government If this temporary revenue tarltt were not im posed. Tho administration knew what It was doing when it morJifled SfB origi nal demand for immediate free trade; and its honest critics will soon per ceive the -rror of their antagonism. Susquehanna county people have been telleved by the announcement that tho supposed smallpox epidemic at Auburn Is really nothing1 tiut the Cuban rhlcken pox. There have been no deaths and tho patients tiro all re covering. While the Cuban complaint Is not inviting, it does not Inspire the terror that always accompanies a smallpox epidemic, although modern medical science Iior "rendered the onco dreaded disease less to bo feared than many of the moro common ailments. The Philadelphia Ledger concludes that tho United States has been "weighed In tho balance and found wanting" because It provided a revenue) tariff for ruerto Rico which the Puerto Rlcnn legislature can, If It wishes to, annul as soon as It Is organized. Tho Ledger's gloom Is without foundation. "Whatever popular sympathy thcro may be for tho Boer cause, no Euro pean government," writes a London correspondent, "Is prepared' to dcolaro war on Orcat Britain nor to under take to dispatch an army of several hundred thousand men to South Af rica. Those nro tho only conditions under which Intervention would servo any practical purpose after the ox pllclt 'warnings given by the. .British government." Pro-Boer Americans would do well to bear this fact In mind. Manila Justice, as administered by General Funston, should be ratified, even though convictions may nt times be hasty. The idea cherished by tho average Filipino leader that ho can act the brigand ns long as suits Ills fancy and nt nny time come into tho Ameri can camp, surrender and be forgiven, no doubt has had its effect in prolong ing the troublo in the Philippines. Tho sooner the Atkinson "patriots" can be convinced that punishment awaits wanton crime the sooner peace will be restored. "It Is," writes ex-Congressman Towne, "no abandonment of the prin ciple ot frco silver to admit that cir cumstances may temporarily hava ob scured tho Importance of tho ques tion." Besides, look how convenient it is. When Governor Taylor of Kentucky nppears ns a delegnte-at-largo to the Philadelphia convention, he should be received In a way to emphasize honest American opinion upon the manner in which ho has been treated. George Fred Williams may rejoice that ho has at least received honor able mention in the search for Demo cratic vice-presidential possibilities. As nn element ot disaster In Kansas, the Democratic convention reminds one of the old-time grasshopper plague. TOLD BY THE STABS. Sally Horoscope Drawn by Ajacchua, The Tribune Astrologer.

Till; AVERAGE Methodist preacher is not only a godly man, a useful citizen, a domi nating evangel in Christian and communal civilization, and being a practical, sensible, unselfish man, and an acute observer of current happenings, he Is, unwittingly, perhaps, a good politician, livery consideration, as a rule, in his estimation, is subordinated to Cod and country. Ho always spells country with a big C. His life is spent among the plain people and he absorbs ail that is good and exemplary and patriotic in such association. He is not a politician in the common and disreputable ac ceptation, lie is a discerning reader, a close observer of secular affairs, and w-hat he sajs in that direction, however Indirectly it may bo said, is sometimes worth more to the cause of decent politics than volumes of the Congressional Ilecord or than tons of campaign lltriature, or than a brigade of spell-binders. Nobody more than the average politician knows tills. The general conferences of the Northern and Southern Methodist chunh met in Washington last week. The meeting ot the two conferences within a stone's throw ot each other was an impressive event in the wonderful history of tills great ecclesiastical body. To the stranger who dropped in at the Metro politan church, where (irant worshipped and where President McKlnley is now a z'ealons member, and who later looked in on the South ern conference at the modest Mount Veinon Square church, there was no difference. The personnel of the two bodies hardly attracted at tention. Kvcn that distinctive Southern accent was missing in the Southern conference with notable cccptlons. 1 lie division of the church on stctionil lines seems to lie irrevocably in the dead past, and Is maintained mainly became Its numerical growth demands separate organi zations. The meeting of the two conferences in this presidential election jear in Washington may not have been foreordained, but it was a very timely event. Members of congress had an ex ceptional opportunity to hear directly from the moral public sentiment of the country. It goes without tho salng they took every advantage, early and late, ot it to mingle with "the brethren." It was Impossible to keep a quorum of the house at the capltol, and in the absence of the llery Southerner (who was meeting regularly and conspicuously with the "circuit rider" from Ids congressional district) who demands a quo rum on all occasions by way of emphasizing the old Calhound screed that "the constitution fol Iowa the flag," no member had the temerity to suggest it. The absent member was cither at the Southern or Northern coufeicnce, and from all that 'ran be learned and from what has leaked out in unexpected plaeej, he got some information that he was not looking for. One Incident Illustrates it. "After talking seriously witli several well known preachers from my state," remarked a Western member, "I have concluded that the Methodist church is think ing more about the free souls that will follow American civilization in Puerto nieo and the Philippines than free trade, and I am beginning to think, after all, we Democrats have made a nice mess of the whole thing." MAY BE THE END OP DEWEY.

Mr. .Tones, after gain ing recognition from tho shair, said: "The hero of Manila said here his speech was cut short by prolonged groans from almost the entire body ot ministers. Mr. Jones stood seemingly dumbfounded for a moment, 1 lie groans provoked laughter. lie started again, but this time A 'voice in tho audience Bhouted, "You mean bis wife said." If it should turn out that the admiral is really a candidate for the presldenc, with the hope of captming the vice-presidential nomi nation on the Ilryan ticket, llrnthcr Jones lias not only anticipated anj thing new the Manila hero may say, but has suggested a stirring cam paign song wllh the title "You mean his wife said." Hut, seriously, the Dewey movement has suf ficiently progressed to make his candidacy and his wife's ambition as mutually inepirable as the positive and negative forces in electricity. The country was eager to forget the unpleas ant incident in connection with the transfer of the admiral's house to Mrs. Denej, immediately following the marfiagc. It was the gift of the nation. The disposition made of it was offensive tn the keen sense of American propiiet.v. Hut more discredit attached to the "designing woiiun than to the guilder hero." Whatever the de nials and however positive the cvplamlions and emphatic the disclaimers, the impression that the transfer of the hou-cv was due to tho new wife's influence was not icmovrd. Tho acclama tions of the people that everywhere gieetcd tiie admiral since this incident have not Ihiii shared by Mrs. Dewey. Her piesence has been Ihteatened witli remon-t ranees that. would dis credit American manhood. Hut there is no assurance that the impa tient public will submit tn further icslialnt and longer rcpcct the distinction between Ad miral Denes 'a wife and the anibHious vvniuiu who lias made a fool of the greatest living American hero. Tide's the admiral has quick ly reached the age of acute senility lie must icalize the nbsuidity of Ids candidacy for the Democratic nominitlon. Even Mrs. Devvc.v, in the bilef interval for reflection before the national Democratic con vention, ought to know that nothing short ot death can prevent the nomination of Ilryan. The blind anticipation of such nn afflictive Vrovidence alone ecu-cs the crass ignorance Of political conditions so vainly eihibited V Mrs. Dewey in the titular announcement of the admiral's candidacy for the presidency. If Brother Jones, of Itock Itlver church, should not be present at the Democratic con vention when some feivid orator, with stcn loiian voice, exclaims "the hero of Manila liiy said," some other llrother Jones, with lcathei lunged voice will shout in baiitone notes, "ou mean what Ids wife bald." Imagine tha scene that will follow. And behold the shattered idol. Think of the fatuity of hero worship when it is so easy for one little woman with pompadour hair and big gray eyes to smash the idol. THE ritESIDEST DELIGHTED. Iloth conferences brought good cheer to resi dent McKinlcy. Collectively and individually the delegates visited the white house. Some of them had private talks and some ot them had public talks with the president. lie beard from both prelate and layman that the administration policy in dealing with Tueito Itlco and the 1'billpplncs had the unqualified moral support of the country and the earnest prajer of Christian people cvcrjvvhere. If there was a dissenting note in either conference on this subject no expression was given to it and there was no intimation from any source of its existence. The president's face easily bctrajs the glad ness ot his heart. All through the conference session It has been radiant with some untold Joy. Some said it was explained in the improvement ot Mrs McKinley's health, due mainly to the first gladsome diss of the early spring. Otheis said the president was feeling glad over late re ports of a steady and pronounced reaction in public sentiment; on the l'uetto Itican tariff question. None guessed the truth. Speaking of his visit to the president, a dis tinguished bishop 63 Id: "The president has made no mistake in the adoption of a policy looking to the permanent settlement ot the questions growing out of the Spanish war. The searchlight ot investigation will prove it and the political party that challenges it on the hustings is doomed to overwhelming confusion and defeat. The moral sentiment ot the whole country sustains the president's course thus far, ami it is an influence in public affairs that cannot bo svvajed or changed by sensational clamor or political vituperation, the president is entirely sa..sfled with the situation from that standpoint and well lie may lie." This is but an Incident in the foreshadowing November storm. THE VICE-PnESIDENCY. It looks now that New York will not be con sidered in naming the Kepuhllcan vice-presidential candidate this J ear. With Itooscvclt, the most available candidate from that state, posi tively out ot the way, by his own unalterable purpose, it Is an open Meld, ami the chances aro the nomination will go to the most avail able candidate without regard to locality. This now seems to be the understanding among the Itcpubllcan leaders. There weie good reasons from the standpoint of practical parly politics for Itoosevelt's nomination, but his nomination has n:cr been considered necessary to party success In New York, It lias not been such a long time since tha Rough Ilider won his spurs at El Caney, but tho plain people want a put tlcal, common sense, plain, honest, economical administration ot the government, and It is not likely that the country will lie swept of Its feet by tho candidacy ot Spanish war heroes. Grave and momentous questions growing out of that war now confront the country. Their proper and permanent settlement demands the best Judgment and tho highest statesmanship. 1'or the yice-prcsldency this jear public- af fairs demands an Incumbent fully the equal of the chief executive. The Republican parly can completely nivt-t this demand in .,ie nomination Jonas Long's Sons TV W Louis: of Onrlcs Emory Smith, Does Pennsylvania want the honor?
