“Why, even the News and Courier and
Col. Hemphill have been converted to
Bryan, and the News and Courier is loy
ally supporting the Democratic ticket."
Thus Is Senator Tillman quoted in our
Washington dispatches. Then arc two
minor Inaccuracies in the'statement.First,
it is "Maj.” and not "Col." Hemphill, and
second," there Is no Democratic ticket at
present for the Major and his excellent
pater to support. We hive no doubt, how
ever, that they will support the ticket
when it shall have been made. Still, it is
Interesting to hear that the News and
Courier "has been converted to Bryan."
Jt would lie still more Interesting to hear
Utt it had been converted to Tillman.
THE GRAND JI HY HEARD FROM.
The action taken yesterday by the
United States grand jury in the Greene-
Gaynor cose, is not at all surprising. The
effort, thus far unsuccessful, running
through three months and more, to bring
the defendants from New York to answer
before the United States Court here, the
indictment found against th- m, amounts
to a national scandal. It is not to be won
dered at, therefore, that the grand jury
asks Congress to enact a law by which
persons indicted In one state can be taken
from another state, under proper legal
process, to (he court in which the indict
ment was found without unnecessary de
lay.
This question, as pointed out by Judge
Speer, has nothing to do wilh the guilt or
innocence of the accused parties. It has
only to do with the proper administra
tion of justice. In this Grcene-Gaynor
ease, a United States commissioner de
layed for two months deciding whether
(he accused persons were the ones de
scribed in the indictment against them,
and now a United States district judge
bos had the matter before him for six
weeks, and has not yet come to a deris
ion whether he will order them sent to
tills city or set free. The grand jury, in
its presentments, calls attention to the
fact that, since Greene and Gaynor were
arrested in New York, for the purpose of
bringing them here to answer the indict
ment pending against them, an alleged
embezzler was Indicted in a state court
and brought back from Morocco, whither
he bad fled. And it seems that persons in
dict, *1 in the United Stntis Court in this
state cannot be brought back from New
York In three ani a half months! Surely
there must tie something wrong wilh (he
judicial machinery of the United States.
Clearly the recommendation of the grand
jury to Congress, for legislation that will
prevent such delays, is timely.
This action of the grand jury will call
the attention of the whole country to this
Greene-Gaynor case. There are members
of Congress who are anxious to get a
chance to have something to say in re
spect to it. They think there is need for in
vestigation in addition to that which was
had before the Carter courtmnrtial. They
have held off, however, because of this
case against Greene and Gaynor. But the
extraordinary delay in getting the accused
parties before the court here may cause
them to think that their inquiry should
take a wider range than at first contem
plated. If politics is interfering with the
administration of justice the country
ought to know it.
Asa matter of fact, there ought not to
have been more than a week's delay from
the time the warrants were served on the
accused parties in New York and their
arrival here. If there is a reasonable ex
planation of the extraordinary delay in
requiring them to obey the writs which
have been served upon them—a delay
amounting to three months and a half and
still continuing—the country would like to
know it.
THE BATTLESHIP KE UtSAHGE.
The navy department is congratulating
itself on the result of the test cf the new
system of mounting (he main batteries of
battleships. The batteries arc located in
superposed turrets. The Kearsarge is the
only battleship In the world that has this
system. One of the double-deckel turrets
Is located in the forepart and the other
in the aft part of the ship. In the upper
turret there are two 8-inch gunsond in the
lower two 13-inch guns. Thq advantag es
of this system are greater concentration
of the ehiji's "battle energy" and an "in
crease in its gun fire intensity.”
AI! of the officers who were present at
the test—that is the operating of the tur
rets and the firing of the guns—made en
thusiastic reports in favor of the newsy -
tern. The system originated in this coun
try and is wholly American. That it
greatly increases the effeci Iveness of a
battleship there does not seem to be any
doubt in the minds of Admiral Sampson
and other naval officers.
Indeed Admiral Sampson is of the opin
ion that there Is no warship in the world
that Is the equal of the Kearsarge. As
suming that he is correct it !s probable
that other battleships that are now being
constructed for our navy will have double
decked turrets like those of (he Kearsarge,
and that other nations, in building battle
ships, will begin to follow the United
States.
The test that was given the Kearsarge's
turrets was not a complete one
because some of the .electrical
machinery for handling the tur
rets was not in working order. F, r
instance, all of the four guns of the tur
rets were not fired at one and the same
lime. The opinion was 'expressed by the
officers, however, that all of the guns
could be fired at once without injury to
the ship. Still, until this test Is made
the order that the new battleships shall
be provided with the superposed turret
syel.m will probably be withheld.
The theory has been advanced that a
shot striking one of the turrets might put
an entire battery out of use. This theory
is well worth considering. It Is claimed,
however, the turret would hive (o
be hit In a certain way to disable the en
tire battery. Beskles. it Is said that the
double turret Is In no more danger of b -
ing rendered useless than a single turret.
It would seem as If the machinery fo
controlling the double-decked turret would
lie much more complicated and delicate
than that for hondling the slngl ■ turret
and therefore would be much more likely
to get out of order during an engagement.
Naval officers, however, have answers for
all of the objections which have been rais
ed, and are so enthusiastic in support of
the new system that it is probable that
the superposed turrets will be a feature of
battleships which we build In future.
Many of the Spanish officers and eodler<
who ire leaving Manila for Spain are said
to be experiencing considerable trouble
with their Filipino wives. They do nor
wish to carry the women to Spain wiiti
them. In many instances, Indeed, It is
said the Spaniards have wives of their own
race at home, and the appearance of ad
ditional dark-skinned stiouses would be apt
to cause trouble. Recently several Spanish
officers have tried (o make their Flllpln >
wives charges upon the public by alegin;
them to Ik- insane. The American g v, ro
ment has notified the Spaniards who ur'
leaving that they must take tueir Flllp.no
wit ■ s with them.
THE MOFJMJSG KEWS: WEDNESDAY, 1 APRIL 4, 1900.
THE EARLY STATE ELECTIONS.
State elections will be held in eight
states in advance of the general elec
tion in November. These states are Al-‘
abama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana,
Maine, North Carolina, Rhode Island
and Vermont. There is probably not a
great deal of doubt about how any state
in (he list will go In its election. Any
novice can separate the Democratic from
the Republican states. It is true that
North Carolina is at present under a
Populist-Republican government, tfut it
is normally a Democratic state, and there
are reasons for thinking It will return to
its ancient allegiance at the next elec
tion. At the same time, the pluralities by
which the winning parties will carry the
states will be watched with close inter
est, since they will indicate the drift of
public opinion on questions of the day.
These expressions, however, will be lim
ited to the North and the South. There
is no Western state in the list of thoee
to hold elections before November.
Rhode Island will lead off with her elec
tion to-day. The state will go Republi
can, of course. In the election of last
year—for “Little Rhody” clings to the
old fashion of electing a Governor every
year—the Republican majority was 9,706
in a total vote of 13.130. It is believed
thai the lotal vote will be somewhat larg
er this year, so that an average Republi
can majority ought io be in the neighbor
hood of 10.000. Should it fall Vk>w that
figure, it would indicate Democratic
gains.
Louisiana will follow Rhode Island,
holding her election April 17. Special in
terest is centered in this election because
the Legislature which will be chosen wall
select the successor to Senator Caffery.
There is no regular Republican ticket in
the field, but there Is an Independent
ticket backed by disgruntled Democrats,
Populists and Republicans. In the Inst
election Gov. Foster received a plurality
of 55,183 in a total vote of 101,016. It Is
expected thot the majority in the ap
proaching election will be cut down from
Ihe foregoing figures, through the efforts
of Senator Caffery, who is opposing the
regular Democratic ticket; but there i
little If any doubt that the regular De
mocracy will be triumphant by a safe ma
jority.
In North Carolina, whose election will
occur Aug. 2, there will be elected a Gov
ernor and other state house officers, and
the people will vole on the constitutional
amendment passed by the Legislature
and designed to. virtually eliminate the
black race from state politics. In the
proposed amendment there are qualifi
cations which will disfranchise a large
majority of the blacks, and a "grand
father clause" which will except the
whites from Ihe operations of the law.
It is practically a copy of the Louisiana
elective franchise law, the constitution
ality of which has been questioned. In
the last election the fusionists carj-’ied the
state by a plurality of 17,938 in a total
vote of 336,960. Since the Wilmington
riots, however, the tvhite people have got
ten more closely together than for sev
eral years, and a good Democratic vic
tory is confidently expected.
Alabama is an August state. The elec
tion will be held on the first Monday in
that month. It will go safely Democratic,
of course. The chief point of interest in
the election is whether or not Gov. John
ston will succeed in having himself elected
(o the Senate as the successor to the Hon,
John TANARUS, Morgan. Maine and Vermont
will go to the polls in September. It is
unnecessary to say how they will go, or
to speculate upon the result that will be
reached In Georgia, when she holds her
election on Oct. 3.
SELECTING THE RIGHT AI IN.
Success in about every undertaking de
pends upon those chosen to fill the respon
sible positions. The failures in most un
dertakings are due to the incapacity of
those chosen to manage thorn.
Doubtless the whole country has noticed
that Americans who visit Havana—sena
tors and repr sentatives as well as pri
vate citizens—agree that Gen. Wood is
doing wonders as governor general of
Cuba. He is the right man for the place.
His predecessor was a good man for
some things, but not for governor general.
The President made a mi3.ake when he
appointed the first governor general, and
It is probable that he thought at the time
of the appointment that he was making
a mistake. If Gen. Wood had been ap
pointed at the start Cuba would be much
nearer ready for independence than she is.
Gen. Wood was an admirable adminis
trative officer at Santiago. The reputation
he made there secured for him the posi
tion he now occupies. He has tact and
judgment, and he knows the thing that
ought to be done to bring about the best
result*.
AVe have no doubt that the Cubans are
anxious to have a government of their
cwn and are particularly desircus that it
shall be successful. It is a question wheth
er they have the experience to govern
themselves. Und. übtedl.v they have con
fidence in their ability to do so. Unlbss
the very best judgment were exercised,
however, the island would be In the
clutches of civil war within a few months
after an independent government had been
established unless the ship of state had a
strong and wise hand on the helm.
The Cubans could not do a wiser thing
than to elect Gen. Wood the r first Presi
dent. He could do more than any other
man, perhaps, to establish the n<w repub
lic on a firm foundation. It Is cer.a’n that
he would do his utmost to make it a suc
cess. It is doubtful, however, If the Cu
bans could be induced to do anything so
sensible as to make him their President.
In the first place they would think that by
electing an American they would admit
that they had no man among themselves
sufficiently aide to till the office of Presi
ditit. In the second place they would be
afiald that an American might not be true,
to the interests of Cuba. While, there
fore, the election of Gen. Wood would, in
all probability, lie the best thing that
could happen for Cuba, there Is very little
if any probability of Ills being asked to
accept that position.
In two transports that are now on their
way from Manila to San Francisco there
are thirty-! lx Insane soldiers. If is said
that Insanity Is on the increase umong the
As the fate of the world wa* once bal
anced on Cleopatra’s nose, so Is the fate
of a Chicago lawsuit balanced upon the
nose of Admiral Dewey. The point at is
sue Is not the point of the Admiral s nose,
but whether there Is or not a wart on the
side of that organ. The Admiral is going
tc* visit Chicago shortly. Wishing: to do
the distinguished pallor full honors, a Chi
cago firm sen? to New York and ordered
some thousands of Dewey badges. Wheth
er the New York make s were true to na
ture, or whether they worked off
some old stock likenesses of med
icine tasters and others on the
Chicagoans, the fact is that the
pictures on the badges show a decided and
proturberant wart on the nose. The Chi
cago firm refused payment for the badges
because of the wart, and the New York
ers brought suit. It is intimated that the
Admira? may be summoned to attend
court as a witness, in order that the court
and jury may see for themselves whether'
he has a wart on his nose.
Senator Pettus’ humorous speech in the
Senate the other day has raised a point
which is being discussed by some learn
ed genetlemcnwhoare more interested in
the antiquities than they are in either the
Porto Rico question or whether Sheldon
made a success of his newspaper. Sena
tor Pettus referred to the fact that Aaron
was chosen to do the talking for Moses,
who was not a man of words before the
people. Now the question is. was Moses
a stammerer? The New Testament says he
was educated in all of the wisdom of the
Egyptians and was mighty in words and
deeds. But it has been alleged that he
had some sort of impediment in the
speech; that he stuttered, or stammered,
and therefore was somewhat averse to
making an address to a crowd. On the
other hand, there is no positive evidence
that Moses was not as eloquent las Demos
thenes or any other famous orator. It is
the lack of conclusive information either
way, of course, is what makes it a debata
ble question.
The Republican party es the perty in
power in this country, is face to face with
a terrible responsibility; and Boston is ag
itated to know what that party
is going to do about it. The trouble is this:
The Republicans have passed a tariff law
which places a tax of 50 per cent, or more
on works of art—pictures, statuary, etc.
Now. Mrs. "Jack” Gardner of 80-ton owns
some tons of statuary and square miles of
pictures in Europe, and they aie all Art,
with a capital A. She desires to bring all
of this Art to Boston, where she proposes
to build a marble palace to house it in.
But she refuses to pay the 50 per cent,
duty which the Republican party says her
Art must pay, and says if the tariff is not
changed at once so that her statuary ani
pictures may come in free, she will remove
her residence to Europe. It is the possi
bility of Mrs. “Jack s” doing anything so
cruel that has got Boston worse agiiaud
than she was when Cervera’s fleet arrived
at the Canary Islands.
No, it was not Pathrick O’Toole in the
Emerald Debating Club, but the Hon.
Ohauncey M.* Pepew r in the Senate of the
United States, who asked: “What is the
apple of discord that is lashing some of
our friends to fury?” A fitting reply
would have been, it is the hydra-headed
monster of protection which you are try
ing to cram down poor Porto Rico’s
threat to bind her hand and foot.
PERSONAL.
—lt is rumored in Dondon that Joseph
Chamberlain expects to visit this country
by way of a vacation at the close o the
South African war.
—Somebody recently showed cx-Spenke'
Reed a copy of a Manila paper in which
appeared this paragraph; “The difference
between Tom Reed and Billy Mas ‘n s
that when Tom Reed says he will resign h
resigns.” “Ah.” said Mr. Reed, re Tec ive
ly, “a great journalist is evidently wal-iing
his talents on ihe Filipinos.”
—Prof. W. E. D. Scott, curat:r of t e
ornithological department of Princt n
University, has gone to England to study
the collection of birds in British Mu
seum and to compare them with the spec
imens recently procured from Patagvni-i.
The result of his research will be emb d
ied in a monograph on the birds of Pata
gonia, which work is to be the first of a
series of publications dealing wi h the
Princeton Patagonian expedition.
—The Boston Transcript says that during
a recent session of the Senate, Mr. Petti
grew, who is a tireless talker, insisted on
using the phrase “ad infinitum with
great frequency, pronouncing the longer
word with the accent on the second sylla
ble. Finally one of his associates- correct

CIKRBKT COMMENT.
The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says: "The
edict seems to have gone forth, however,
from the White House that the Porto Ri
cans must be taxed as even King George
dared not tax the American colonists. Mr.
McKinley has decided to out-Hered Her-xl
and it is feared that there are noi enough
Republican senators like Mr. Proctor ta
hold ihe tyrant in check. But thifc Is the
year of a presidential election and retri
bution may come upon the party sooner
than even Mr. Proctor Imagines. The
Aofrertcan people do not like King George’s
methods of taxation any better now than
they did in ihe days preceding the Rev
olution.”
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.) says:
"The shortcomings of the consular service
have long been appreciated by business
men. and of recent years a few spasmoJic
efforts have been made*to bring abou re
form. It was at one time proposed to ea
lablish a regular consular service under
the protection of the civil service ays em.
but the ottempts the present adm nlstra
tlon has made to get over civil service re
strictions hold out small hop of anything
being done by the present Congress.”
The Nashville American (Dem.) says: "It
would seem Southern capital might find
profit in life and fire Insurance. Mil ons
of dollars of Southern money are steadily
flowing into the coffers of Eastern, North
ern and European insurance companies.
Why not keep some of this money at
home?”
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican (Ind.)
says “Mr. Cleveland’s opinion that ihe

Delayed Retribution.
"I suppose there are chances in all pro
fessions,” said ihe con. man, wearily, ac
cording to the Detroit Free Press, "but
there seems to be more in mine than any
business I know of. The experience that
I have Just gone through with has been
enough to drive me to throw up my graft
and seek something else to .give me a liv
ing without working. Business was pretty
slack with me the other day, so when I
chanced to run across an old man from the
country I thought I had reason to con
gratulate myself. The sequel proved what
little faith one clan put in first impres
sions.
"Well, I pointed him out to one of my
cappers, who engaged him in conversa
tion amd soon had all he knew. Then I
was ready for him. I rushed up, gave him
the glad hand, and exclaimed:
“ ‘lsn’t this SI Perkins, from Squash
vllle?'
“ ‘Yes, that’s my name,’ he answered,
‘and I’m darned if yer face ain’t kinder
natural, but I can’t place ye.’
“ ‘Do you mean to say,’ said I, ‘that you
don’t know Willie Beanblossom, the son
of Zcb Beanblossom, who left home twen
ty years ago?’
" ’Gosh!’ said he. ‘Are ye Willum Bean
blossom?’
‘The same!’ I cried. ‘How is your
wife, Hannah, and all the rest of the
folks?’
‘By gosh,’ said he, ‘come up to my
room and we will talk over old times.’
"Well, I followed the old man up to his
room, and after we had entered he closed
the door and locked proceeding that
made me uneasy.
‘Willum,’ said he. as he put the key in
his pocket, ‘do you remember the last time
I saw you?’
“ ‘Twenty years is a long time,’ said I,
feeling my way.
•Wul. I’ll enlighten ye,’ he answered,
grimly. ‘Ye was in my apple orchard,
stealing apples. I didn’t catch ye, but I
promised ye the all-ffredest thrashing ye
ever got when I did. That was twenty
years ago, Willum, but it ain’t too late
yer.’ he said, as he took off his coat.
‘See here,’ I Vegan.
‘Willum,’ said he, rolling up his
sleeves and placing a hair brush where it
was handy. ‘ck>me here!’
"Well, what is the use of saying any
more about a painful subject? He was
bigger man than.l, and was applying the
hairbrush where it would do the most good
before I knew’ it, and—well, I’m looking
for ‘Y\ ilium,’ who left homo twenty years
ago, and if I find him and he isn’t a big
ger man than I, there is going to be a
fight!”
A Tribute to Longfellow.
Nearly fifty years ago Longfellow visit
ed the Ojibway tribe of Indians, in the
land of Hiawatha, on the shores of Lake
Superior, and was the guest of the chief,
Bukwujjinene. On Monday, says the New
York Tribune, Wabunosa, the grandson of
the chief, and Kabaoos-a, his nephew’, vis
ited the home of Longfellow, in Cam
bridge, Mass., and w ere the guests of th j
poet's daughters. Mrs. Dana, Mrs. Thorp
and Miss Longfellow. Kabaosa .-ang twj
Indian songs for his hostesses, one a love
song and the other a war song, which his
grandfather had composed after the vi -
tory which his tribe, as allies of the Brit
ish, gained over another tribe aided with
the colonists at the battle of Queenstown
Heights in the War of 1812.
This is a translation of an invitation
which they extended to their hostesses:
"Ladies: We loved your father. The
memory of our people will never dp as
long as your father’s song lives, and that
will live forever.
“Will you and your husbands nnd Miss
Longfellow come and see us and stay in
our royal wigwams on an is'and in Hia
watha’s playground, in he lard of the
Ojibways? The friend who came with us.
whose address you have, will make all the
arrangements. We want you to see us live
over again the life of Hiawatha in his own
country. “Kabaoosa.
