ROOSEVELT’S NO)!IYATIO\ PROB
ABLE.
Roosevelt has not yet put away the vice
presidential nomination with a firm hand.
It Is probable that he does not want it.
He would much rather be renominated
for Governor. He is not pure, however,
that he can get a renomination. Some of
the leaders of his party in New York on*
against him, because they cannot control
him. Besides, he Is afraid that if his
party really wants him to accept the vi e
presidential nomination, it would be •
great mistake for him to refuse it. His
party might refuse him at some future
time a nomination lie really wanted.
His ambition is to be nominated by his
party for President in 1904. His refusal
to serve his party as a vice presidential
nominee now, might cost him th* presi
dential nomination then.
The belief in New York is I hat be will
be nominated for Vice President. Accord
ing to one dispatch, the betting in that
city is 10 to 1 in favor of ids nomination.
Confidence in Mr. Platt’s ability to bring
about his nomination is very strong among
New York politicians. Asa matter of
fact, there is a fight going on between
Mr. Platt and Mr. Hanna. The latter
is anxious for the nomination of Mr.
Bliss of New York, while Mr. Platt is
determined that the nomination shall go
to Mr. Roosevelt.
It is doubtful if it is a matter of much
consequence whether a New’ York man is
given the second place or not. It is safe
to say that Mr. McKinley is stronger in
that state than Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. P-li. s
or any other Nevr York man. New York
City is the center of the money power,
and Mr. McKinley stands for that pmwr.
Mr. Roosevelt did not carry the state
by a very large majority two years ago,
and at that time he was fresh from Cuba.
There is no doubt that the role he played
in the Spanl&h-American war, as the
leader of the Rough Riders, helped him
wonderfully. His majority, however, was
only about 18.000. The chances are that
if be should be nominated for Governor
this year, he would be beaten. It may be
that the reason he doesn't want the vice
presidential nomination, is that he. thinks
that if elected Governor of New York
again, he would stand a better chance of
being his> party's candidate for President
In 190-1, than If he were to accept the nom
ination for Vice President. •
There is no doubt a feeling among the
Republican leaders of New York, that it
is not going to be an easy task for their
party to carry New ork this year. The
New York Press, one of the leading Re
publican papers, In its issue of last Mon
day, said: “And wo know that New York
is in a condition for from satisfactory.
The proof of what we maintain lies on
every hand.” Further along irt the.same
article, the Press said: “We believe that
every one who has followed the New York
political trend at all carefully, or his
looked Into the situation at all closely,
knows what we know. Others may differ
with ue as to the wisdom of confessing
openly what we know; of admitting pub
licly that New’ York Republicanism has
receded far below the Inghts sealed four
years ago. To us it seems our greatest
safety lies In facing the truth.”
Of course the Press wants Mr. Roose
velt nominated for Vice President, but
the reasons it gives for thinking that he
would add anything to the strength of the
ticket, are not convincing ones. As al
ready stated, it 1s doubtful if he would
help the ticket in any resj>eet. If the peo
ple believe the money question is practical
ly settled, and they are against imperialism
and trusts, the Republicans will lose New
York, whether Mr. Roosevelt is on the
Republican national ticket or not. And a
leading Republican paper of New York is
very much afraid they will lose it.
fiOl.n SHIPMr.MS.
Considerable gold was shipped to Eu
rope last week, and several millions of
dollars in gold have been shipped this
week. It Is the understanding apparently
among New York bankers that at least
$13,000,000 will be sent abroad before the
shipments cease. This movement of gold
to Europe on the eve of a presidential
campaign causes no uneasiness in money
centers.
It will be recalled that when the ship
ments of gold began in 1890 there was a
feeling of uneasiness throughout the en
tire country. New York bankers sub
scribed a large part of their gol 1 holdings
to assit the United States treasury. Thor.'
was apprehension that the treasury would
not be able to meet the demands upon it
for gold. It was necessary that the credit
of the government should be maintained.
The reason that gb!d shipments at this
time cause no alarm is that this coun
try is not indebted to Europe, and the
shipments could be stopped at once if it
were thought advisable to stop them. In
1896 it wns different. Then we owed Eu
rope a large debt, and a demand for gold
had to he met. Since then there has been
a most remarkable Increase in our exports
—an increase so great that Europe owes
us money. It is estimated that fof the
present fiscal year our exports will exceed
our Imports by at least $600,000,000.
Our bankers are sending gold to Europe
now because it pays them to do so. They
can get better returns there for It than in
this country. Besides, Kurope has a real
need for it art this time, and can afford to
pay well for it.
The United States are now well supplied
with gold. Their stock is large, and Is
rapidly increasing. The ablest financiers
are of the opinion that It will be a long
time before there will be a gold famine in
this country again. With the stock of the
metal we now have on hand we can send
vast mims to Europe and bring large
amounts to this country without causing
uneasiness or exciting any great amount
of comment.

the mom:i row eh im< i tsEl).
In his baccalaureate sermon to the
senior class at Harvard University last
Sunday, Bishop Potter of New York dis
cussed at considerable length ihc money
power. In some of the dispatches it was
said lie defended trusts. He did not de
fend them, but he said that great good
had come from combinations of capital,
and that uch combinations were neces
sary to existing conditions. We must
remember, he said, t Hat an underlying
principle in our American social order
is “the greatest good to the greatest num
]• r.” lie declared that combinations of
capital have in countless instances re
sult* and in the substantial betterment of a
gnat majority of people. But, in saying
this, he did not intend to defend trusts,
because, in another part of his rmon,
lie declared that “combinations of wealth
used in the wrong direction were the
gr at evil of cur modern civilization.”
He expr -sed tiie opinion That this evil
| could not be cured by legislation, but he
did not .say how it could be cured. The
inference from what he said was that the
trust evil would have to be left to work
i’.s own cure. The people do not agree
with 1 lie Bishop that legislation cannot
Its-'U the trust evil. It is evident that
it. is their int-ution to see what can be
done by means of legislation.
The people understand very well that
combinations of capital are necessary to
carry on the great undertakings of the
present age, and they have no objection
to them. They know also that such com
binations are likely to destroy minor en
terprises and business undertakings.
What they object to is the combination
of capital that undertakes to monopolize
a business or an Industry for the purpose
of exacting a profit that is unreasonable.
The ice trust in New York City is the
kind of a combination to which the people
object, and which they mean to destroy.
This ice company got control of the ice
supply of the city and then doubled the
price of ice.
The people are not making war on com
binations of capital tfiai are employed in
1 gitlmaie business. They are making war
on the combinations that are engaged in
robbing the public undtr the cover of law.
IHE % CHATHAM ACADEMY IM
PROVEMENT.
The Chatham Academy trustees are of
ihc opinion apparently that as great prog
ress as possible has been made in the work
of rebuilding the part of the academy that
was destroy* fire. No doubt the trus
tees have had a number of obstacles o
overcome, but-the community is b ginning
to show a little impatience at the pros
pect that the building will rot be ready
to be occupied at the beginning of the
next school year. As great as the trus
tees think the obstacles are with whicn
they have to contend, the teachers in the
public schools, particularly those who
have to teach in the afternoons, are of the
opinion that the difficulties with which
they nj-e contending are far greater than
any the trustees have encountered, or
are likely to.encounter; and parents whoso
children are among the afternoon pupils
are wondering whether or not the present
unsatisfactory school conditions are likely
to continue into another year.
It has been several months since the
fire in the academy, and nothing has yet
been done towards clearing the ground (or
the proposed improvement. There have
been some differences about the plans,
and these difference have been probably
the cause of the delay. But Is it not pos
sible to push along the improvement a lit
tle faster? The building ought to be rea ly
for occupation by the beginning of ihe
next school year. If it is not, pupils,
teachers and parents will be greatly dis
appointed.
PRAISE FOR THE PRESIDENT.
Senator Wolcott. In accepting the tem
l>orary chairmanship of the Republican
National Convention, delivered a speech
that was as full cJf fulsome praise of the
President and the Republican party ns
It could well be. It was expected, of
course, that the Senator would defend
the President and his party in the re
spects in which they needed defending,
and it was expected that he would uphold
the course of the administration and the
Republican majority of Congress, but it
is doubtful If even the most partisan of
the Republicans expected that the Sena
tor would take the position practically
that the President had made no mistakes
since he entered the White House, and
that the Republican party, during the last
four years, had merited nothing but praise
from the people. \
It is probable that in the minds of the
great majority of those who listened to
the Senator’s speech there were specula
tions as to whether the Republican party
was going to explain away the immense
postal frauds in Cuba, the wasteful ex
travagance with which the public money
of Cuba had been spent and the vast
appropriations by Congress at the session
that has just expired. It was easy
enough, of course, for Senator Wolcott
to make out a good case for the Presi
dent and the Republican party before a
friendly assembly, but the Republican cam
paign speakers will not have un easy time
of it. There will be many questions put
to them which they will not he able to
answer to the satisfaction of themselves
or their audiences.
According to Senator Wolcott, Mr. Mc-
Kinley Is the greatest President the
country has had in a generation. He
doubtless* Is a kind-hearted man, but If
be is not a weak one, bis fellow' citizens
do him a great injustice. If ho pos
sessed the strength of will of Mr. Cleve
land, there would have been no Cuban
scandals, because the politicians would
not have been permitted to make the ap
pointments, and there would have been
no scandal connected with the Porto Rican
tariff question, because a poltey that had
been adopted from principle would not
have been changed to suit parly cxpedl
en y. Senator Wolcott was eloquent, but
not convincing.
A dressmakers’ trust is one of the lat
est combinations talked of in Ncwr York.
Recently dressmakers in that city have
had a good deal of difficulty in collecting
bills for dresses from actresses and wives
of rich men. on account of alleged bad tits,
hence It is proposed, for purposes of mu
tual protection, that a trust shall be form

The lioxer movement in China recalls
the Taiping rebellion, though it is not
likely to give nearly to tr.u- h no ble as
that famous uprising. The Taiping re
bellion began in 1850 an 1 lasted fourteen
year©. It was the result of a popular cut
cry against the existing iy::a.iy, a*d in
protest against the nonfulfillment of
promised reforms. The war which Eng
land proclaimed agair st the Tartar dynas
ty in 1856, and in which Ftar.c* jJn and.

—Dr. Martin Grove Brumbaugh, who

work in pedagogy at the university has
attracted wide interest. He is one of the
board of managers of the graduate de

make necessary his taking a four years’
leave of absence from his work at the

“My smoking always been a sore
point with my wife, who never lets a
chance slip by to try and talk me out of
(he habit,” said Brown, according to the
Detroit Free Press. “Now. I enjoy a
£• • i cigar and see no use in giving up
something that affords m? pleasure. The
other day while I was rummaging around
in a cupboard I ran across a box of al
leged tobacco cure. It could be put. to

that it was in ended for, and he would be
cured of the habit without knowing how
it was done.
*1 saw at once what Mrs. Brown was
up to. and I resolved to get even with her.
The contents looked as much like sugar
as anything; so I threw it out and re
filled the box from the sugar bowl.
“That evening from 'he unusual sweet
ness of my coffee 1 realized that she hal
begun to dope me. Finishing my dinner, I
pushed back in my chair and said:
‘lt is strange, my dear, but 1 haven’t
the slightest desire to smoke a cigar.’ I
saw her beam at this, and then I con
tinued: ‘But instead 1 have a desire to
smoke a cigarette.’
You have what?’ she shrieked, fc3s
she considers it sure death to smoke the
little rolls.

1, calmly. ‘1 shall have to go over to (he

“Leaving her gasping for breath. I went

to smoke a cigar or anything else but ci
garettes.
“For three days my wife kept putting
her supposed dope in my coffee and I kepi
smoking, continually remarking that L
was strange that 1 no longer cared for a
cigar, but could not smoke enough cigar

“Finally she broke down and confessed
what she had been doing. After frighten

Well, the man was nominated, but
Just as soon as the convention adjourn
ed the candidate came hurrying over to
where his friend the lawyer was strug
gling into his coat.
“What salt of a throw dow r n are you
trying to give me. anyhow?” he cried.
“That’s a nice way to use a friend. Jok

quart of Mt. Vernon or something of (he
kind, but it and n’t go on the floor of a
convention, not for a, minute.”
“What are you trying to get through

“I'm calling you down, that’s what I

“For leaven’s sake! What for?”
I’or standing up there, cuss ye, and

The Berliners tell many a good story of
Mommsen’s (the historian) absent-mind

with not having recognized his own little
son and with having asked him his name
preparatory -to requesting him not to
make # so much noise in a public tramear
in which ho was going to town from his
home in Oharlottenbui g; it is'even eai.l
