ROOSEVELT'S UNCERTAIN ORBIT.
What would Mr. Roosevelt’s policy
j he if he should be elected? That is a
question which thoughtful people are
asking. The faett that he didn’t say,
in his letter of acceptance, what his
policy would be is beginning to at
torn t attention and excite comment.
In that letter he said: ‘‘Three years
ago I became President because of the
death of my lamented predecessor. I
then stated that it was my purpose to
carry out his principles and policies
for the honor and interest of the coun
try. To the best of my ability I have
kept the promise thus made. If next
November my countrymen confirm at
the polls the 'action of the convention
you represent. I shall under Provi
dence continue to work with an eye
single to the welfare of the people.”
Here he states plainly that he has
tried thus far to carry out the policies
and principles of President McKinley,
but he doesn’t promise that, if elected,
he will continue to carry them out.
On the contrary, the Intimation is plain
that he will have ‘a policy of his own.
It isn’t like him to be willing to have
it said that there was nothing original
In his administration, if the people
put him in the White House. He wants
to go down in history as one of the
great Presidents, and that he couldn’t
do if he had no policies of his own.
As to what his policies would be, no
living man dan tell. On this point
Hon. George H. Bout well, of Massa
chusetts. one of the founders of the
Republican party. Secretary of the
Treasury under President Grant, Gov
ernor of Massachusetts and United
States Senator from that state and
still a Republican, in an interview last
Thursday, said: "Certainly the elec
tion of Mr. Roosevelt would be a dan
gerous thing. No man ran tell what
he is likely to do. He probably could
not himself tell what he is likely to do,
so strange is his temperament, so un
certain his orbit."
When an old time member of the
Republican party spCaks thus of Mr.
Roosevelt it is certainly time for the
people generally to seriously consider
whether or not he is the sort of a man
to trust in the White House. There
is no doubt, of course, about his hon
esty. The doubt is whether he has the
judgment to guide the ship of state
safely through the many difficulties it
is certain to encounter during the
term of an administration. He says
if elected he will work with an eye
single to the welfare of the people.
There is no doubt he was sincere in
saying that, but. as pointed out by
Mr. Bout well, what Is to he expected
of a man of his “uncertain orbit?”
Being an accidental President, he has
felt it incumbent upon him to be
guided by the policies of his predeces
sor. but if chosen by the people he
will feel free to map out policies of
his own. His recent talks about the
Monroe Doctrine and his hasty way of
acting upon questions which come up
suddenly, are reasons for viewing him
as the choice of the people for Presi
dent with alarm. Foreign war and
domestic troubles are to be apprehend
ed when there is in the White House
a man as erratic as he is.
"AND THU GREATEST OF THESE IS
CHARITY."
In the hue-and-cry raised about
Bishop Potter and the Subway Tav
ern. there can be to the thoughtful
mind nothing more astonishing than
the revelation it has made of the un
conscious absence among us of that
particular virtue without which we
are become as sounding brass or a
tinkling cymbal. From the pulpit,
through newspaper interviews, in open
letters to the press, all over the coun
try, members of the ministry, big and
little, have uttered scathing denounce
ment of the new saloon movement and.
like the crackling of thorns burning
under a pot, their voice has risen
against the big man in the bishop's
surplice, who lent It the sanction of
his presence.
The movement Itself has been cen
sured, if anything, less than Bishop
Potter. Before this fact, its ethical
value becomes a question of less In
terest than the moral attitude of its
critics. Its ethical value, indeed, is a
question that the future can very well
take care of. It was not to be won
dered at that the storm of criticism,
which radical reform of any sort In
evitably arouses, should have fallen
with exceptional fury upon the little
Bowery tavern and Its promoters, hut
that the head of one of the great
churches of this country, a man of
large wisdom, temperate action, and
recognised piety, who countenanced it,
should he decorated with the choicest
Invectives in the ministerial vocabulary
is Just reason for amazement. His
action has been variously class
ified as devilish, diabolic, Inspired
by the devil. An act of the devil,
it has even been as strongly . put.
There has been in discussing it an
engaging disregard of the little nice
ties of ordinary speech. This word,
indeed, forbidden to good Christians
and others of polite manners has fall
en with conspicuous frequency from
the lips of the ministerial Judges, and
criticism has only Just slopped short
of unequivocally calling the Bishop
the devil himself.
"Let every man be fully persuaded
In his own mind." said Rt. Paul to
the captious Romans, laying down a
rule of right conduct. And again.
"For one belleveth that he may eat
all things: another, who is weak, oat
eih herbs. Let not him that eateth
despise him that eateth not; and let
not him that eateth not. Judge him
that eateth; for God hath received
him.” It is a solemn assurance that
he adds to this doctrine of kindly tol
erance, "For God hath received him.”
There is a conspicuous difference, too.
in the use of the words "despise" and
"Judge," which would seem to Indi
cate that Judging him that eateth—
or drinketh—was as common in the
days of the Homans as In the modern
day# of Huh way taverns.
There are many outside the churches
to whom Bishop Potter's philanthropy
appeals a* peculiarly sene. By the
unprejudiced layman the worst that
might be said of his action le that
it was Indiscreet, end savored per
haps of the sensational. If the move

position, experience, and eminence to
judge: if it is. in his opinion, anfl
few have sounder insight, a step uj
ward that will be far reaching in it
impetus to the masses; if it offers thO
solution of a problem that has frett
ed society and religion, and to which
prohibition has proved useless, it was
ills part, by reason of his authority and
eminence, to encourage its promoters
and foster its success. Whether any
thing was gained by Ms presence on
the opening day; whether his dignity
might have been better served;
whether the work might not have gone
on more inconspicuously but not less
successfully, reaching only the classes
it was meant to reach, without his
public approval, are debatable points,
hut trifling beside the great fact of
a man doing bravely what he believ
ed to be right. It is not likely that
he took the step unadvisedly. It is
strange that those of his own calling
should sit in judgment on him, for
getting the grave words of one who
broke bread with publicans and sin
ners. “Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Condemn not. and ye shall not he con
demned."
JAPAN ON THE SEA.
Japan has again demonstrated her
superiority on the sea. Just how com
plete the victory of the Japanese was
in the engagement off Port Arthur,
and how disastrous it was to the Rus
sians. will not be known perhaps for
several days—not until all the ships
of the Russian fleet have been heard
from. And even then it is hardly
probably the public will be given all
the facts. This much is known now,
namely, that the Russian fleet at Port
Arthur left that harbor by the im
perative order of the admiral com
manding the Russian fleet in the Far
East, 'that it was met outside by the
Japanese fleet tinder Admiral Togo, and
that most of the Russian vessels were
driven back into Port Arthur harbor,
while others were badly damaged, if
they were not so injured as to be
practically useless. The Russians also
lost a great many officers and men.
The Japanese vessels do not seem to
have been much injured, and the
Japanese loss in men and officers was
small.
It is not definitely known why the
Russian fleet was ordered out of Port
Arthur harbor. It m'ay have been
that the land forces of the Japanese
are near enough to the port to reach
vessels in the harbor with long range
guns, or. If not, they soon will be; or
it may be that the Russians consider
the fall of Port Arthur is only a ques
tion of a short time. Whatever the
re'ason was, Japan’s superiority on tile
sea was again clearly shown. In fact,
the Russians thought it wasn't ad
visable to have a square fight with
the Japanese, though with the ships
they have at Vladivostok and Port
Arthur they must be pretty nearly
a match for them as far as 'the num
ber and fighting strength of ships are
concerned.
Of the bravery of the Russian of
ficers and men there is no question,
but the superior skill of the Japanese
in handling their guns and ships is so
marked, and their preparedness in
every particular is so much greater,
•that it is a foregone conclusion that
the Japanese will be the victors on
the sea whenever they meet the Rus
sians on anything like equal terms.
THISOS THE MAYORS LEARNED.
At their convention in this city the
Mayors of Georgia cities, according to
their statements, picked up many Ideas
that will be useful to them in admin
istering their respective offices. The
convention here was composed of earn
est and thoughtful men, who busied
themselves in gaining information
from each other that related to their
official duties. But did they seek In
formation as to how they could cut
down municipal expenditures without
lessening the efficiency of the public
or reducing public improvements?
That is a question In which municipal
taxpayers are more interested than the
average ward politician Is.
Of the Mayors who were present in
the convention, how many were there
who could frankly say they managed
the affairs of their respective cities as
economically as they managed their
private businesses? If questioned,
wouldn't many of them have been com
pelled to admit that offices were cre
ated for the purpose of making places
for friends of their respective admin
istrations or to satisfy politicians hav
ing "pulls" with those in power? And
wouldn’t they have had to admit that
many of those who fill minor places in
their administrations are of no ae*
count whatever, that, in fact, they do
but little more than draw their sala
ries?
It \yould have been an interesting
part of the proceedings of their con
vention if they had questioned each
other respecting the men who are ap
pointed to the minor offices, as to the
qualifications and efficiency of these
men, and as to the amount of money
paid them each year for which no serv
ice of real value Is rendered?
And then they might have question
ed each other relative to the necessity
of having someone in the city govern
ment made responsible for the proper
and efficient discharge of the duties de
volving upon these minor officials.
It is within the bounds of truth, per
haps, to say that in every city of any
size In the state there are officials who
do very little for the money they re
ceive, and that they do no more than
make a show of doing something. One
good and conscientious man doubtless
could and would do more than a half
a dozen of them. If cities were run
on business principles, that Is, if the
Mayors and Councils insisted on con
ducting the city's business as they con
duct their own municipal expenses
might be out down a quarter, perhaps
a third, and. that too. without damage
to the service in any department or the
reducing of the amount appropriated
for public Improvements.
no Tiprnro it ski ho.
In each guest's room at ftkiho Cat
tie, Mr. Carnegie'* splendid place In
Scotland, there Is conspicuously placed
a little card bearing the legend, "Please
do not tip the servants," For many
years the tipping of eervant* In prl
yala hvines by, visitor* baa been a
growing evil in Great Britain, and re
cently the practice has been trans
planted in this country by those who
delight to ape British customs. In
both countries tipping in places of pub
lic entertainment has become a nui
sance. There is probably no way of
putting a stop to it in hotels, restau
rants and similar places, but the. laird
of Skibo has shown how it may be done
in a private residence, and has taken
the lead in putting the practical plan
into effect.
Many British families of the higher
social classes are 6aid to have been
somewhat shocked when it was learn
ed that Mr. Carnegie had issued his
anti-tip request. Tipping servants had
become so common that it was re
garded as practically a fixed national
custom, and Britishers are slow to de
part from precedents. But when the
shock and the astonishment have pass
ed away doubtless the Britishers will
thank Mr. Carnegie for having called
pointed attention to their own folly and
shown them how to put an end to it.
Mr. Carnegie’s point of view, and the
correct one, Is that he, the owner of
the giouse and the host of his visitors,
provides a sufficient corps of servants
to attend to the wants of himself, his
family and his guests, and that it de
volves upon him as head of the house
and host to pay the servants for their
services. He is able to afford that ex
pense, the wages paid are fair, and
there is neither reason nor excuse for
the guests to supplement the servants’
wages with tips. That is the way
Southern gentlemen of the old school
look at the matter, and one of them
would feel that he had been affronted
if he should discover a guest had tip
ped his servants.
A Chicago saloonist has conspicu
ously posted the names of the Pro
hibition candidates for the presidency
and vice presidency in his place of
business. As he dispenses the drinks
over the bar he advises his customers
to vote the Prohibition ticket at the
coming election. Does this mean that
the proprietor of the bar has recog
nized the value of the names Swallow
and Carroll as an advertising medium
or is it only t'he first effort of the
liquor element to get control of the
opposite party. It will be interesting
to note how the candidates them
selves receive this method of increas
ing their vote. They may spurn it
ais compromise and hypocrisy and
.then, too, they may look upon It as
only one of Chicago's many vagaries.
Admiral Schley has brought more
worry Into the Republican camp by an
article in the Saturday Evening Post
in which he gives an account of the
battle of Santiago. The Republicans
pretend to see in this the ghost of
the old Sampson-Sehley controversy
emerging from its tomb and they fear
the effect on Maryland. There is ap
parently no need for worry, however,
as Admiral Schley Is merely setting
forth his views of the battle and un
less naval officers take to pointing out
what they deem errors, the old con
troversy will remain where it is.
PERSONAL.
—Mr. Joseph Chamberlain first wore
the single eyeglass, which now distin
guishes him, many years ago while
acting the part of "Puff" in the famous
play called "The Critic,” at some Bir
mingham theatricals. He found it
suited his appearance and continued to
wear it off the stage.
—Even to this day Chauncey Depew
is touchy at the mention of a harm

expense many years ago. At that time
he was a lad checking freight on the
wharf for Commodore Vanderbilt and
in his spare moments was fond of fish
ing in the river. One day, having set
his line, he went into the office near by
to resume his duties. The boys pulled
it in. attached a salt mackerel and
yelled to him that there was something
on his hok. He hurried out. of course,
only to find that he had been fooled.
The joke is a sore point with the Sen
ator even nowadays, though no one
seems to know just why.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Galveston (Tex.) Daily Nsws
(Pern.) says: "Mr. Samuel Gompers
called at the White House a few days
ago and asked the President to see to
It that the wages of men employed at
the Washington navy yard be In
creased. The President Is not sup
posed to have called the attention of
Mr. Oompers to the report of Commis
sioner Wright, which proves conclu
sively that wages have advanced over
the price of living, hence every one
ought to be delighted."
The Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatrh
(Pcm.l suys: “After having criticised
and ridiculed and denounced President
Roosevelt to the full extent of Its ca
pacity. the New York Sun announces
that it will support him for the pres
idency as opposed to Judge Parker.
Without meaning to be offensive, it is
our deliberate opinion that this course
of the Sun will Improve Judge Par
ker’s chances of election.
The Boston Globe <Dem.) says:
“Judge Parker gives certain citizens a
timely reminder that the United States
became a world power over 100 years
ago. and has continued to be one. Gen-
I eratlons of peace, not a 60-day war, is
what has made this republic success
ful and respected. On this topic the
Democratic nominee speak* the uni
versal language of enlightened states
manship."
The New’ York Poet (Ind.) says: "Re
publicans are beginning to be alarmed
at having nothing to be alarmed about.
It was really cruel of Judge Parker to
disappoint them as he has done. Not
satisfied with robbing them of their
money issue, he has not given them a
single peg upon which to hang the
chat gen, which they had carefully pre
pared. of hts being an agitator and a
leveler. They somehow hoped that he
would step off the bench to display
himself as an arrant demagogue, but
now they can only turn mournfully
away to bewail his being so negative'
and so maliciously 'dexterous' in not
giving them a handle.. ~,
Altont Hie Wife iit Heaven.
Bishop Talbot, according to the New
York Tribune, tells a story of a man
he had met while Bishop of Idaho,
who wanted the Bishop's opinion on
the probability of his wife’s going to
heaven. The Bishop said he told this
Missourian that he was pretty sure
his wife would reach there, and sug
gested that he be confirmed, too, in
order to take the same path. “No,”
said the Bishop's friend. “I’m not
good enough; but if my wife get’s
there, and the gates are shut so I
can’t get in, she'll raise h I.’*
Would Delay Wedding for Golf.
An old man and a youth had spent
the whole day on a golf links in Scot
land, and. as is often the case with
particularly enthusiastic, players, had
had some remarkable close and excit
ing games, according to a golf paper.
As they left for home the old man
remarked; “Hey, mon, hut it's been
a gran' day!” “t has,” the youth as
sented. “Think ye ye could come
again on the morrow, laddie?” “Well,”
the young man answered, reflectively,
“I was to be married, but I can put
it off.”
Only Two Small Drinks.
Mr. Jenks came home about 2
o’clock, walking very carefully and
sedately, says the Washington. Post.
Mrs. Jenks was awake, and she turn
ed up the gas as he came in.
“Are you sure you didn't drink too
much?” she asked.
“You hurt me when you speak like
that,” said Mr. Jenks, somewhat in
distinctly. “I had only two small
drinks.”
Mrs. Jenks lay back on her pillow,
regarding him. Under her gaze he
was most careful to bestow all his be
longings to their proper places. His
feelings were hurt and he was de
termined to show his wife how unjust
her suspicions were. He was standing
at the stationary washstand in the
corner of the room when she spoke
again, and it was not so much the
matter as the manner of her words
tha,t cut.
“Charles,” she said, “you might as
well stop trying to light the hot water
faucet. That’s the third match you’ve
wasted.”
Knew Abont Cleanliness.
When the late ex-Speaker Thomas B.
Reed was in California, says the
Youth's Companion, he visited the Lick
Observatory, on Mount Hamilton. It
was a wonderful November day, full of
gold and the bloom of flowers. Mr.
Reed looked down at the gorgeous
landscape 4,000 feet below, and, turn
ing to one of his hosts, he said:
"Colonel, this looks too much like a
special display got up in honor of the
occasion. Tell me what a typical win
ter day in California is really like.”
The Californian thought at once of a
day in February, so warm that after a
morning bath he had lain in a ham
mock outdoors, smelled the roses on
the trellis and listened to the trill of
the meadow lark among the almond
blooms.
He began to describe it eloquently:
“Thirteen years ago, on Feb. 22, I took
a bath——”
He paused to arrange his account of
the roses and the meadow lark. Mr.
Reed broke the pause.
“Well, Colonel,” he said, in admira
tion, "you do know something about
cleanliness out here, don’t you?”
A Collection Was Needed.
In the smoking room of the Lawyers'
Club R. A. Pryor, surrounded by a
dozen choice spirits, was recalling In
cidents of the Beecher-Tilton trial, says
the New York Mail. He cited this in
stance:
"You must know,” said Gen. Pryor,
“that Tilton was a poor man; that his
counsel were numerous, and that long
before the trial was half over we were
working for nothing. Fullerton was
very aggressive and went at Beecher
with tooth and nail. It was a first
class struggle, and, as the cross-exam
ination went on, day after day, the
excitement of the spectators became
intense. Fullerton was wonderfully
shrewd, but Beecher was too much for
him.
"One day Fullerton wanted to close
the session with a big coup. He press
ed Beecher hard, but the preacher was
wary, bold and resourceful. Dragging
the examination along, waiting for an
opening Fullerton watched his adver
sary, every nerve of each strung to
the highest tension. The courtroom was
painfully quiet. Suddenly Fullerton,
with a glance at the judge and around
the chamber, exclaimed: ‘Now, Mr.
Beecher, we have the benediction.’
“ ‘Oh, wait a minute, Mr. Fullerton,’
remarked Beecher dryly< casting his
eye at the long row of Tilton’s unpaid
lawyers, I think the first thing to be
done is to take up a collection.’ ’•

His wife rescued the "thingumbob"

“Yes. dear, but In which store did

And then the boat started.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.
—From Bombay Presidency a native
petition has been forwarded to the
government of India praying that the
sale of feathered caps, etc., throughout
British India may he prohibited by law
on account of the cruelty involved.
—Among the latest fads of the sum
mer girls are sunburned initials on
their arms. Short sleeves, initials cut
from black court plaster and affixed
to the arm, and the sun will do the
rest, leaving the letters in pink and
white on the sunburned skin.
—Prof. Assmann, one of the German
government meteorological experts, has
risen to explain that lightning seldom
strikes in a forest where thO trees are
dense and of about the same hight.
Danger exists only where isolated trees
rise above their suroundings.
—A halibut estimated to be fifteen
feet in length was seen in the Pisoa
taqua river near Dover Point, recent
ly. by a number of Dover peotple. The
fish was seen to jump out of the water
several times and on every occasion
made a roaring noise which could be
•heard a considerable distance.
—lt is announced in a scientific jour
nal that Prince Albert of Monaco has
taken the lead tin the movement for
another North Pole expedition on a
plan sugested by Ensign Charles Be
nard, late of the French navy. The
cost of the expedition is set down at
$300,000, two ships to be employed.
—The detective force in China is a
secret body second to none in the
world in point of organization. From
one end of the Celestial land to the
other a very wide-open eye is kept
upon every man, woman and child,
whether foreign or native, and, for that
matter, the detectives watch one an
other most vigilantly.
Advices from St. Petersburg tell of a
service of wireless telegraphy at Lake
Baikal, which is almost complete, and
will be in working order soon. It will
consist of three stations, one of which
will be on board the, ice breaker,
which will be enabled to communicate
with both shores during its passage
across the lake.
—American sporting dogs are de
scended from English stocks, but the
dry climate of extreme temperatures,
the nature of the ground, and game,
and the methods of hunting in Amer
ica cause the survival of the fittest to
proceed in the direction of a faster,
lighter, more enduring animal, one
quicker in the reflexes of judgment
and action.
—‘A valuable scientific find has been
made in New Jersey, where a slab of
stone bearing the impress of the feet
of some prehistoric animal has been
brought to light from eighty feet be
low the surface. The footprints are
three-toed, about inches long,
and resemble bird traoks. There is
also a trail left by the heavy tail of
the animal, and two parallel lines
which may have been made by wings.
They are thought to ,be the tracks of
a pterodactys, a kind of reptile bird.
—Thirty members of the French
Chamber of Deputies and ten of the
British House of Commons met in
Paris in 1888 to consider some method
of settling differences between nations
without resort to war. They organized
the interparliamentary union, of
which 1,500 national legislators are now
members. Last January an American
group of the union was organized in
Congress with forty-three members. A
hundred others have signified their in
tention of joining it. The twelfth an
nual conference of the union will be
held at St. Louis in September and
Congress has appropriated 850,000 for
the entertainment of the distinguished
foreign delegates. The object of the
union is “to procure the reference of
all pending difficulties between nations
to The Hague court, hasten new arbi
tration treaties and to insert in all
future treaties between nations a
clause favoring arbitration.”
—According to a writer in Page's
Magazine, at the end of the nineteenth
century the number of merchant ves
sels of 10,000 tons and over was under
half a dozen, but since then huge
steamers have multiplied to such an
extent that at present they are not far
short of one hundred. More than half
belong to England and are employed in
trade with the United States. Germany
already possesses twenty-six steamers,
of over 10,000 tons each, and is prepar
ing to build more. Ere long Germany
may aim at the construction of vessels
that will rival the Baltic in dimensions
and the new Cunarders in speed. Such
vessels do, however, put a great strain
upon the resources of the ports of the
United Kingdom and other nations.
The creation of great ships has been
quicker than the arrangements for
their reception and berthing. The
Clyde trustees have been foremost in
designing docks to meet the wants of
the largest of steamers and in obtain
ing the sanction of Parliament for
widening and deepening the navigable
channel by which these docks are ap
proached. Other local bodies are do
ing the same. How far these big ships
are justified by the condition of the
ocean carrying trade is doubtful. If
they can obtain an ample supply of
cargoes their size has decided advan
tages, as their working expenses com
pared with smaller vessels are propor
tionately less. But such cargoes are
not always obtainable and the ports
which can take in these monsters are
few.
—Considerable diversity is shown In
the gifts Which the different cities and
states have selected for the naval ves
sels which have been named In their
honor, says the New York Post. The
New York, with a liberality befitting
the metropolitan city, wis presented
with a silver service, a bell, some
flags, an athletic outfit, an organ and
a library, having a total value of
nearly $15,000. The Massachusetts re
ceived a library, a flag, and a sta'ue.
worth all together little short of $2,-
500. Oregon led in number of gifts,
presenting twelve articles, ranging
from a photograph of the ship, worth
$5, to a clock, worth $4,000. Albums,
paintings, and punch bowls, wore also
included. The Boston received, among
other things, a $25 Bible. The Castlne,
probably because Maine is a prohibi
tion state, was presented with a S3OO
punch bowl, and nothing else. The
Brooklyn received a silver service
worth SB,OOO. Wilmington. N. C.. pre-.
sented a Bible and a punch bowl to
the vessel named In its honor. In an
evident desire to neutralise things as
much as possible. The Kearsarge is
the recipient of not only a Bible, but
a pulpit, to neither of which is any
value assigned on the department rec
ords. from the evident desire of the
donors not to measure epirltual agen
cies in the medium of trade. All to
gether. SIIO,OOO worth of articles of
designated value have been received
by the ships, besides & great many
against which no price has been set.
A silver service Is the moat general
gift. A library comes second In the
frequency of Its appearance on the 11st,
and flags or ensigns the third. Only
one newspaper la re<x>rded in the list,
and that is the "Baltimore Sun Supple
ment," whatever that may mean. Mojt
of these gift* have come from the
municipal or state government, hut in
some cases from private, contributions,
and occasionally from the two sources
combined In the case of thq Kear
sarge. it is believed that friends of
the Kearsarga veterans svvre the bene
factors.
