It is to the effect that a con siderable number of New York business men have dei-i ded that President Roosevelt is ' unsafe," "era tie' etc and have informed leading demo crats that they will support any democratic candidate whom it is believed can win While this course has been under consideration forsome time, it has actually been de ter mined upon as a result of thp recent Hoosevelttlannn tracas. They say that so long as Mr. Roosevelt was guided bv the advice of Senator Han na he was not likely to eir too seriously, but now that he has cut loose from the 0- hio statesman, he is'not to be trusted. Hi friendship with the labor organizations is regarded as judicious and his attitude on many impor tant questions as varying with each breeze that blows. U is believed that be will at tempt to force radical tariff revision on Congress, as soon as he is elected, and these prominent tepublicans say they would prefer an out and out democrat with clearly de fined politics to the present occupant of the White House, They are perfectly willing to accept a Bryan man and in fact urge that the nominee be acceptable to Colonel Bry an and pis supporters. They only urge that there be har mony in the ranks of the de mocracy and they will sup ulv the sinews of war. In this connection, the grea test interest is manifested in the conference which Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, has called for July 18. It is well known that Mr. Harrison is opposed to what is generally termed a "reorganization of the party," and that he fa vors the retention of the old national committee and the nomination of a man accep table to Colonel Bryan. In this connection the possible nomination of Hearst and Harrison is being quietly dis cussed. Mr. Hearst controls the great organization of let ter carriers and postal clerks regardless of party, and that in itself would insute consid erable support which per haps no other man could command. Whether Hearst and Harrison would prove acceptable to the New York interests is not known. It may be that they, believing they could cn i ry New York, Mew Jersey and Connecticut themselves, would advise the nomination of an Illinois or Indiana man who could be counted on to carry one ot those doubtful Slates. The extent and and ramifi cations of the postal scan- dais continue to increase and the Postmaster Oenerat.who is consulted only after the sip plications for wairants have been made, shakes his head and says sorrowfully, "It is appalling." Machen, former general superintendent of free delivery, close friend oi Ab ner McKinley and Perry Heath, and pet ted favorite of Payne, has been indicted on ninespperate counts by the Columbian grand jury. Two of Machin s subordinates and trusted intimatPB, Thos. W. McGregor and C. Elsworth Unton. have been nrrested on a plan similar to Mach- en's. They have purchased from one Smith, a trunk man nfactnrer of Baltimore, ru ral free delivery mail bags. which could have been pur chased for 50 cts or less, to the amount of $18,000. They paid Smith 90 cents and re ceived a commission of 40 cents each, thus robbing the government of $8,000. Nu merous other officials are un der const lint surveillance and will be arrested as soon as evidence which will hold in court can be secured and ar ranged. The implication of some of the most prominent republican politicians is mo mentarily threatened and the nostofflce officials are conn dent that most ol the epoils of the Machen, Beavers gang have reached the pockets of such prominent men. For all their corruption, Machen and his pals are comparatively poor men. There is every indication of a verv warm interview be tweeu the President and the Postmaster General. Thelat ter has tried in every way possible to cover up the scan dal anil prevent the implica tion of the very politicians to whom he owed his ohVial ex istence. Met by'a man like Bristow and a man like Wynne, he hns been unable to accomplish this end but has betn defeated at every turn and now he has the pleasure of meeting a highly incpnsed chief. As if to tore fend the President's anger. Havne met hitnat the raih wav station and touchingly threw his arms around the President's neck. Mr. Roose velt was not seen, by the elo seat observer, to reciprocate: this burst of ingenious affec tion. Much interest is taken in the speech of Senator Hanna at the Ohio conventi n. For gentle ironr it is awarded the oalm. Mr. Hanna inva-. riably referied to the Pres ident as "that hreoic joung man." In the gentlest ol sar chasm h? pointed out t h u t Mr. Roosevelt's administra tion had been successful only because he had carried out the policy of McKinley the policy dictated by Hanna. Hanna took occasion to ue- nv inemphntic terms the as sertion, made by nobody in particular, that Mr. Roose velt "belonged in the catego ry of those whose ambition is greater than their patriot ism" but unfortunately the effect of Mr. llanna's words was to convey the idea that he desired to exploit rather than dissipate the very asser tion which he denied, tonclu ding, Mr. Hanna reminded his bearers in emphatic terms that this country is a nation of parties and not of heroes, that it has a government by parties and clearly made the implication that it would be ill with the man who be came bigger than his party. Altogether, Mr. n a n n a ' s spee?h, on the surface most complimentary, when read between the lines, was what is popularly called 'a roast. The discovery of wholesale dishonesty in the Postoftbe has caused Secretary Shaw to become uneasy and has or dered that, the cash In t h e Treasury be counted. The re serve, recorded as $304,000, 000, has not been counted lor six years, and the under taking is a herculean one. Only recently, a clerk in the Chicago sub-treasury was discovered to be short sever al hundred dollars. His meth od of stealing had consisted uf the substitution of short weight coins for new ones. and some years ago a simi lar cheme accomplished the looting of the New York sub treasury to the amount of $20,000.

There has been ot late an attempt to revive an agita tion against tne new suffrage amendments of the South; but this attempt has proved too feeble and futile to be se riously harmful. Too much tolerance altoget her ha- been shown to a certain type of negio agitators. Some of these plattorm speakers are men of tnleaf, and we may as well assume th.it most of them are fairly sincere; but their denunciations of the South are useless, and merit rebuke. Sensible men judge practical affairs in th"ir rela tions. Thus, the present po litical status of the negro is to be compared with that whMi preceded it. Most of the Southern States have, tn deed, now given rhVct to s.vs terns that legally disfranchise a great mass of negroes who were theoretically entitled to vote. But, practical!, those negroes had bpen drsfrnnchis ed for twentyfi ve years. The new system is of incalculable value to the negro because it involves a deliberate avowal by the ruling race that the negro is to have the same po litical rights as the white man. It may be verv slow work for the negro to attain such a position as respect education and property that a majority of its men can se cure enrollment as voters But anvhovv, the remedy does not lie in henceforth talking polities and making agita tion, but in acquiring mani fest fitness b industry, thrift and study. The negroes, in vast majority, aresimply the agricultural laborers of the South. It is onlv a few years since th' ngiiciiltur.il labor ers ft England v re admit ted to the franchise, At the present moment, agricultu ral la'iorers. and even skilled workman, in Germany are at a great disadvantage in pol itics. Considering their igno rance and their thrift leasness ness, the negroesof theSonth have all the politral influ ence that theyonghttohave. The thing to becareful about is that the door of npportu- nitv be not shnr. Now, t h e plain fact is that the chun-e to work and to earn monev is exceedingly good for the Southern negroes, and that their treatment by their white neighbors is upon the whole not oppressive or in tolerable. Since the white men of the South are.ofthei" own accord, determined to seethe negro children have opportunity for education, the negro race has its work plainly cut out for it, and all its leaders ought to be sensi ble enough n dwell upon th honeful side of the situation Frour'The Progress of tlu World," in the American Re view of Reviews for June.
