Th Naw York Campaign.
INCIO tllB fonimtloli of the Ue
piibllcun party there have
been nine Republican ami
i? seven Uciiinerutic Kovernnrs of
J New York, but nut slnee 1S60 has ii He
V publican governor succeeded In winning
' a second consecutive term. Rach party
i lias had control of the executive office
; for a total period of 2;t years, and on
'', each side the majorities have ranged
from a mere bagatelle to nearly a
, quarter of a. million in the case of
, 'Frank Black.
v No state hi the union Is more tnde
( pendent of party lines than New York
in the election of Its governors. The
. iiualitles which have been most fortun
J situ in winning strength among the vot
r t;rs of the Kmplre state tire, first of all,
4 the ability to show results in economy;
' Secondarily, personal Independence, and
,; lastly general ability. We know of no
1 state In the union so much wedded to
y "economy as New York. The fact that
v Ben Odeli has reduced" the tax rate Is
the one fact that the average voter In
". the rural district considers In coniiec
. tlon with the governorship. This pas
sion for economy does not seem to ob
tain in city affairs and it Is seldom so
'-pronounced in county circles, even in
the rural counties; but the governor
'who -wants to win votes for re-election
' inust trim the taxes.
. Fortunately Governor Oib-n has scored
' a notable success in this 'direction
' without causing a decline in admlnls
. trative efficiency. Kospect for his
ability as an executive Is not confined
among those who measure it solely in
dollars and cents. He has shown a
a broad-minded comprehension of state
.i needs and a judicious grasp or 'the
i means necessary to supply them which
jjiave stamped him as one of the most
successful governors the state has ever
i had. Moreover he hits bee'n' politically
jj efficient and successful. He is the real
jit; not the recognized boss of his party,
;;an honor he wears modestly and dls
ftcreetly. He Is personally a rlean-
ftlimbed and clean handed good fellow,
whose word Is ns substantial as a
'.bank note, and it therefore Ih not singu
lar that he should be a prime favorite
among the people, We have little
'doubt of his re-election.

In Berlin, Vienna uhd St. Petersburg
siiniclently Indicates Hie popular feel
ing .of these cities, The iintl-Semltlc
prejudice Is so strong In the countries
of which these capitals tire the Intel
lectual, social and political centers that
It l a factor which must be tolerated
If not placated by their respective gov
ernments. Mr. 4lny very wisely stated
In set, plnlu terms why this government
Is anxious that the Jew of Eastern
Europe should have bestowed upon htm
the ordinary liberty gtiarranted by law,
but absent In fact, in appealing to the
signatories of die Berlin treaty he was,
in effect, addressing Itussla. .She Is the
only country which can or does exercise
the smallest weight over the counsels of
those wretched satrapies that constitute
the "Independent" principalities of the
Balkan peninsula.
Parcel Post.
I
T SKRMH tin Interesting fact that
In order to arrange for the car
riage of small parcels to persons
.living In this country the British
post otllce had to enter Into a contract
with it private company of carriers, the
American ICxpress company. Yet this
has been done. The Britisher wishing
to have a parcel delivered within New
a'urk city, .lesey City, Brooklyn or Ho
bofien can have that wish gratified at
the cost of LT. cents, If the weight be
less than !l pounds, or If It be more
than three and less than seven pounds,
the fee hecomea fit) cents, an eleven
pound limit calling for a "S-ceiit charge.
Delivery to 'places In tills country other
than those just named is made for a
slightly larger charge, ranging from r0
cents to $1. But the United States
postal authorities have nothing to do
with tire American end of the trans
action. It is wholly In the hands of a
private express company.
Possibly for this reason there Is a
charge of L'5 ce.nts for the clearance of
parcels through our customs and an
other charge of the same amount, levied
by our government as a "sample office"
or "storage" fee; all of which, of course,
are In addition to the ordinary duties,
if the contents of the parcel be dutiable.
The effect of these various charges will
be, naturally, to limit the availability of
the new arrangement among persons of
moderate means, though the proportion
of the charges kept by the actual car
riers Is very reasonable. There would
seem, therefore, to be room for the
suggestion that our postal establish
ment take Into consideration whether
there is not some better way of ex
pediting parcel delivery between the
two countries. This Is not, to be sure,
the most urgently needed postal de
velopment, but it is one which the
ITnlted States government ought not to
leave to the enterprise of a private car
rier, The resignation rumor is now pursu
ing Secretary Shaw with unnecessary
vigor.
The Qerman War Bogey Again.
IX YEARS from this time the
German empire will have at
its command 38 battleships.
14 armored cruisers and R8
cruisers a naval force In the
advanced state of nierchanieal
other
piost
etllclency. it will constitute a sea
power larger than that of any other
country except England, and, compar
ing Germany's length of exposed sea
front with England's, larger than the
power which Great Britain could mass
at any point or In any ocean. No clear
reason has ever been advanced In ex
planation of the building of so large a
navy by a country with so small a lit
toral and so meagre a colonial inter
est. It Is true that Germany's mer
chant marine is large and growing;
and that Germany's foreign trade
seems to have a flattering future. But
none of these facts nor till of them in
combination .suttlees to account for so
large a naval force or for the extreme
eagerness with which It has been
pushed to completion.
It Is a curious fact that among
Aliierlcuii naval olllcer.s the theory has
by no means been abandoned, in spite
of the marked efforts of the German
emperor to cultivate close relations
with the t'nlted Slates, that the real
objective In this colossal programme of
naval roiiMrucllon Is to override the
Monroe doctrine by enforcing German
colonial ambitions In South America.
Those who hold this view make the
plausible argument that the emperor's
policy Includes lulling the Americans
Into Inactivity while his warships aro
being got ready, so Hint when he shall
make the move In South America,
which they think he has for some years
been aching to make, we shall have no
alternative but to acquiesce In It,
thanks to his superior force. It Is un
doubtedly true, as they contend, that
the .Monro.) dbctrlne Is :ts dead as a
diior nail If the balance of lighting
power Is on the other side,
But would that be true In the sup
posed situation? 1 not our navy, with
the adcjltlons that will accrue In the in
iervenlng time, adeiuaK to cope with
even the admittedly line navy that
Germany will then have? Vi'e may be
sure that nobody wants to see the
question brought to a test, yet thu
li.ivul ti'iuliyniiH are n our favor, No
doubt we need more ships, whether we
are to huve tussle with William or
not. And no 'doubt that Is one of the
considerations in the minds of the gen
tlemen who from time to time hold up
the Monroe-doctrlne-und.Gerinany bo
gey. If bur fellow-cltlnens were not
unduly sensitive on the subject It
might be worth while tn nak why a
well-ordered colony of Germans In
fclouth or Central America would not In
all respects be preferable to the "mon
grel governments and lazy methods)
customary among the present bene

What Protection Has Done.
w
HAT hns protection done
for America? An observ
unt Englishman has told
u part of the story In his
complaint that America has Invnded
Europe. He complains that the Eng
lishman who a few years ago supplied
the world, today sits down In his break
fast made of cereals manufactured' In
Michigan, beefsteak from Chicago, a
slice ot bacon from New York, and
bread made from Minneapolis Hour. On
the wny to his otllce he rides In a car
built In New York, propelled by elec
trical machinery made In Schenectady,
over u railway constructed by Ameri
can engineers, largely of American ma
terial and projected by American capi
talists. When he enters his otllce, If ho
Is up to date, he sits In a revolving
chair made In Chicago, before a roll
top desk made In Buffalo; his letters
are written on a typewriter made at
III. .n, N. Yy he signs thefn with an
American fountain pen, dries the ink
with u New England blotter and flies
his letter copies In Hies manufactured
at Grand Itaplds. If he goes to the
races for pleasure he sees the highest
stakes won by an American horse
ridden by an American Jockey. And
when he rends his evening paper he
finds that European nations nre having
battleships built In American shipyards,
.learns that an American artist is to
pant the coronation of King Edward
and that 40,(100 gold, silver and bronze
medals ordered by the king to com
memorate that coronation were ma'de
In Massachusetts; that the emperor of
Germany had his royal yacht built in
Xew York and sent Prince Henry across
the Atlantic to attend the launching
when the daughter of the American
president should christen It. These are
some of the changes of which the Eng
lishman complained and they are large
ly due to the policy of protection to
American labor which developed Ameri
can Industry and enterprise until It in
vaded the old world nnd made the Brlt
ains fear that some American would
come along and annex the British isles
ns a museum of antiquity when free
trade ruled the world. The Democrats
would, however, stop the wheels of
progress and again change the current
ot business from England to the ITnlted
States, Instead ot allowing it to con
tinue from the ITnlted States to Eng
land, Continental Kurope and all the
world.

Stories of Kitchener.
The Kugllsh papers are full of stories
about Kitchener. One of them tells how
General llelarey described one ot his In
terviews with I .aid Kitchener, In which
he made an earnest endeavor to obtain
an armistice during the progress of thu
negotiations. "I told htm," said Uelarey,
"lhat I considered It extremely unfair for
his columns to gallop about the country
after my commandos while I was here to
discuss the possibility of a peaceful un
durstnndlng with your people. .My men
weie'depilv.'d of Ihelr leader and placed
tit an unfair disadvantage. It wan no
good, though." continued the Hour
general. "Kitchener turned lo me and
leplled: 'General llelarey, I am not
n wine that anyone ticked you to come in,
You can go out again tomoirow, If you
like,'" Cliilstlan He Wet seemed thor
oughly to enjoy describing bow lie
tackled the man of Khartoum over tint
continuance of our occupation of the
country with a large military force,
which, he ptotested, would be an unde
sirable charge on thu lesources of the
country and a handicap lo Its speedy dt.
vcloiucut. "I told him," said Do Wet,
"Hint I must stipulate for the with
drawal of tlu whole of your army nt ih.i
earliest possible dale after the signature
of peace." Kitchener's only reply was;
"Don't be childish."

Boy Wlio Knew Chauncey.
Perhaps Hie fact that telling rtbs Is
alluded to In many families as "story
telling" may account for tho subjoined
incident:
It Is told of Chauncey Depew that ho
proved of considerable Interest, to tho
small boy of a family on which he once
made a call. After dinner he and the
head of the house were closeted together
for two hours or longer. When Depew
bad departed the boy inniilred the iden
tity of the Important-looking visitor,
"That, my son, Is Chauncey Depew, the
greatest story teller in America," ex
plained the father.
The business that had kept Depew nnd
the father closeted together for so long
brought the former back In a few days.
The boy was playing near the bouse ns
Depew approached, and, running up to
the visitor, exclaimed:
"I'll go tell pop you're coming. I know
who you are 'Mr. Depew, the greatest
liar in America." Chicago Chronicle.

TRUE EVERYWHERE.
From the World's Work.
In a factory where 1,500 men work, their
labor union made an unreasonable de
mand of the owner. The next day a
number of old men went to him and
said: "We are sorry that the union did
tills, and we want you to know that we
were not at the meeting."
The owner replied: "Then you are to
blame for it. You belong to tho union
properly; and It Is your duty to attend
Its meetings, If nil the best men had at
tended the meeting, the action of the
union would have been wiser. Any de
mand Hint nil the men In the shop make
after careful deliberation Is likely to be
n reasonable demand."
Then ho went on: "Labor unions some
times have bad government for tho same
reason that cities havo It the best men
do not vote. To be of use tlui union
should compilse the best men, and they
should attend its meetings and direct Its
conduct."
Such an Incident as this tells Its own
story and carries Its own moral, Tho
more you think of It, the wiser tho
owner's conduct seems. He ha.i never had
a strike.
