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. Marriage is n matter of business, not sentiment, in the Polish colony about Wilkesbarre, Pa. The other day Stephen Katrumas attempted to board i tmin at one station to go to another near by, where he expected to be married. But he slipped and fell under the cars and one leg whs so badly crushed that it had to Ik amputated. Meantime arrangement for the wedding had been perfected. When the prospective bride heard of the accident to her affianced, she did not go into hysterics or fly to his side to nms. him. She declared that there must !> i wedding, since money hod been expend, i to prepare for one. furthermore she *1: t not care to have a one-legged husband, even if Htephen should get well; there fore she invited one of her friends to take 'Stephen’s place. He accepted, and the ! wedding came off the same day Stephen’s ! leg did. T I Colorado* four delegates-nt-large to the i Pivladclphla Convention ore David Mof ifa -I. V. £'. Kiiatton, D. R. e.

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 al of nil of the leading dressmakers. The tn:*t, it is claimed by iho promoters, could secure payments where individuals would fail. It is rei>orted from Topeka that a num ber of K ins.is farmers are In attendance upon th* Paris Exposition, while others of them have token up the game of golf. If. after taking in Paris and playing golf for a white, the farmers of Kansas prove content to go on plowing, sowing and reaping, we may be quite sure that the country is safe. - 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. seemed to aid the rebel.ion fc r a time, but after the complete victory of the allies a combined force under Gordon vras sent against the rebels, and the rebellion re ceived its death blow in July of 18 M.

The Chicago Inter Ocean speaks sar castically of the recent convention of women’s clubs at Milwaukee. “What,” it asks, “has it done for mankind?” The Philadt lphia Ledger prots's agai ;st any such narrow view’ oi the matter, and as serts that some consul ••ration ought to be given to the husbands of the delegates, who were afforded a vacation.

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 it said on the lid, in the coffee of the one 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. \\ desire to smoke a cigarette.” said 1, calmly. ‘1 shall have to go over to (he corner store and get a package.’ “Leaving her gasping for breath.

I ran stand it. I'ye found out that unless things are put cn strong in these days* the crowd don’t hook on in good shape.” So ihe lawyer arose at the proper time and he “put it on strong.” And his pero ration went something like this: ‘ Gen Linen, tlie man wh m I present to your attention to-day has been bred and reared in 'the sacred associations of that old town; he has imbibed the traditions of the honor and integrity and good citi zenship that have come down there from failier to s. n, and those lessons of youth and manhood have followed him into all ills walks of life.
