What the New York Sun did for bis
excellency Governor Alexander Mon
roe Dockery by boosting him as a Dem
ocratic presidential candidate the Mis
souri Republicans "have done for Vice
President Roosevelt. No Democrat can
survive praise from the New York Sun
;very genuine Democrat wears its
abuse as a badge of honor nor can any
Republican survive the Indorsement of
the Missouri Republicans. Postmaster
General Gary voiced - their epitaph
wheir he exclaimed in a fit of disgust,
'The Missouri Republicans are the
outfit that I ever saw!" ;
Meanwhile ; Senator - Fairbanks . Is
spreading himself out over Kansas In
cubating a plan which may or xnay not
come to something. In the physical
world "the early bird catches the
worm," but it is not always so in
politics.
The Republicans of Kentucky -Beem
to be In a bad way: The truth is, their
ascendency In that " state was the re
sult of avery remarkable series of
accidents and crimes. They had no
chance to carry the state this year and
to elect a United States senator even
If they had staid together, and they j
have not even the shadow of a chance
since they have fallen to fighting each
other with the proverbial fury of the
cats of Kilkenny. Strange to say,
things have gone to pot largely through
the efforts of Dr. Deboe, accidental
United States senator, trying to oust a
certain' Republican Widow Saunders
from a $700 a year postoffice. It took
him two or three years to accomplish
this wonderful feat and to put a Re-
I. publican heeler in her place. Indeed
this is the chief thing done by Deboe
since he donned the senatorial toga by
reason of an' irreconcilable feud "be- !
tween Governor William O,: Bradley
and Dr. W. Godfrey Hunter. The
woman's husband had been Republican
postmaster When he died, Harrison
appointed her in his place. Cleveland
let her. stay. . Deboe ousted her, and
his performance will go far toward
ousting nimne--Democrats are so
certain of carrying the legislature and
electing Deboe's successor that there
are four I candidates actively In the
field Governor - James B. McCreary,
Congressman L Charles . W. Wheeler,
Congressman David H. Smith and
Judge - Cantrell with several dark
horses champing their bits and pawing
m the ground In their stables, The
four already named are stumping the
state for all it is worth. McCreary
was colonel under Morgan, elected gov
ernor when he was scarcely old enough
to hold the office, served a long time in
congress, finally becoming chairman of
the great committee on foreign affairs,
and was. one of the American repre
sentatives to the international bimetal
lic congress at Brussels in 1893. ;
Wheeler and Smith are both young
menlvno have achieved great proml-
nence-ln congress. Judge Cantrell came
Into general notice by reason of being
tho iiiiTpi before whom the murderers
Af fioebel were tried. It is
a 100 to 1 shot that after March 4,

resented by two Democratic senators.

Tbe Persecution of Sealer.
On the first day of May. 1898, a great
naval -victory was gained by the Amer
icans In Manila bay. Instantly and
universally George Dewey was recog
nized as one of tbe world's great navaj
heroes.; The world ungrudgingly paid
him Ma due meed of praise. Even the
administration found no method of be
littling him. He was a Republican or
at least supposed to be.
On the third day of Juiy or me am
naval victory was won
at Santiago harbor and practically put
an end to the Spanish-American war.
That victory was .gained by Winfield
rr Khlev and the brave officers ana
men who fought, under him. He was
entitled to as much glory v as was
ttv Tn fact: he won it more fairly
and by harder fighting. From that day
to this the bulk of the American people

monstrous performance Is a
disgrace to the United States. The'
$2.40 a day clerk, Maclay, who wrote
-the slanders about Schley, ought; to be
unceremoniously kicked out of the pub
lic service. Nobody- thinks that he
would baye'eyer written the lying stuff
that he dldlwrite if lie had not4xea
moved thereto by somebody higher in
authority than himself. The truth Is
that this effort to degrade. Schley and
the Evans-Chandler imbroglio, taken In
connection with certain other things
that are happening In. the navy, show
that that department needs a shaking
up trom top to bottom, just as the
Miles-Corbln-Eagan feud demonstrates
that the war department needs a thor
ough overhauling. If we had been en
gaged In a contest with a really great
power instead of with Spain In 1808,
this latter feud would have brought
dire' disasters to the American arms.
The taxpayers of the country will
finally grow weary of paying men
$6,000 or $8,000 a year to do little but
abuse and vilify each other nd bring
confusion Into the public service. " In-
deed the whole government system at
Washington seems to be getting out of

One of Lord Byron's most famous po
ems is The Prisoner, of Chillon." The
story In brief is that the prisoner was
clapped in the prison and, apparently
forgotten by everybody, staid there in
definitely. As everybody remembers,
that great poem opens as follows:
My hair la gray, but not with yesi
, Nor grew it white
' ' In a tingle night, .
As men's have grown from sudden fears;
My limbs are bowd, though not with tail.
But rusted with a vile repose.
And It winds up as follows:
. lly very chains and I grew friends, .
So much a long communion tends
To make us what we are. Even I
Regained my freedom with a sigh:
It is hardly probable that Mr. Neely,
the colossal Indiana thief who plun
dered the postal revenues of Cuba, will
ever nave a poem written about mm
and his imprisonment, and yet from
present appearances he is liable to Btay
to prison as long as the "prisoner of
Chillon. At the present writing there
Is not the least sign that he will ever
be tried. It Is said that $50,000 has
been spent In "preparing" the case for
trial, and yet they are afraid to try
him. If he ls innocent, he ought to be
cleared and turned loose; if be is guilty,
he ought to be convicted and transfer
red from the Jail to the penitentiary.
At any rate, he ought to be tried. Poa-
sibly the solution of the riddle ls that
Neely knows too much, and his supe
riors are afraid he will tell what be
knows If they undertake to try him.
Tbe Neely scandal is liable to grow
into the proportions of the whisky ring
scandal and the star route scandal and
the other numerous scandals In tbe
days of General Grant. If we only had
a Democratic house of representatives
to make a real investigation, we might
possibly find out a good- deal that
would lessen the appropriation bills
and purify the 1 political atmosphere,
but there never will be an Investigation
that "investigates until the Democrats
have the power of investigation.
' Senator .Test's New Platform.
Divers and sundry Democrats of
more or less prominence are giving ut
terance to their views as to what the
next Democratic platform should con
tain. Recently Senator George Graham
Vest of Missouri spoke as follows:
V n tte vHttorm witbout tbe tatOT.
vention of any new issue, 1 would declare:
First. For a graduated income tax, which is
the fairest and most equal system of taxation
ever invented. Our present system of national
taxation in tbe shape of internal revenue and
tariff duties makes the poor man pay tbe ex
penses of the government, while the multi
millionaire, who consumes neither beer nor whis
clothing, pays nothing.
ky and imports nothing from Europe except
But in the event of war tbe poor man flchts
for the millionaire dollars belonging to the pluto
crat, who is now exempt from taxation.
Second. I would make the principal issue ot
tbe campaign of 1901 stern and unyielding opposi
tion to the trusts and syndicates which are now
crushing the individual enterprise ot tbe country.
Ten years ago a young man with f 15,000 or
20,000 capital could start in some legitimate
business with fair chance of success, but now be
has no more chance against the trusts than an
Infant -against the champion prizefighter of the
world.
I was told recently by a prominent broker of
New . York city,a very earnest Republican, that
nine men in New York city, four of whom are J.
Pierpont Morgan, George Gould, John D. Rocke
feller and James J. Hill, control the finances of
-the United States, and,' as he expressed it, no
one could go into a new enterprise or remain io
an old ona witbout the consent of these nine.
Wen. ' r v
Third. I would declare against Imperialism
and the colonial system. For awhile this issue
was before the country in 1900.
As to Annexlag Mexico. '
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat cer
tainly had a very poor memory when it
wrote the following paragraph:
Somebody seems to hive been circulating quer
tales on the other aide of the Rio Grande about
this country.- Kere is The Mexican Herald, for
example, saying that "the absorption of Mexico
by the 4'nited States would be an injury to both
countries. The American republic, if it is to en
dure as a republic, must rest on the consent ot a
homogeneous people." Moreover, that paper says,
the American capitalists who have money invested
in Mexico will "some day ba glad that their
funds are placed in a country where the tradition
pf property rights is not threatened by the new
communism," -
Our Mexican contemporary Is astray. There has
been no talk in tbe United States about an "ab
sorption of Mexico." There il not the faintest
danger of the "new communism" doing any in
jury to capitalists or property rights in the Unit
ed States. The United States is on terms of the
closest intimacy with the Mexican republic It
desires to continue this condition. Tbe trade of
the two countries With each other is increasing
year by year. The social tics between them are
constantly being extended and strengthened. More
United States capital in invested in Mexico than
has been obtained by that country from any other
nation. This, too, is steadily on the increase.
: It has not been three months since
the Hon. Henry Sherman BoutelL a
Republican congressman from Chicago,
had himself interviewed and declared
in favor of the Identical features which
The Globe-Democrat says nobody eTer

thlng from the Eanama to the fro en
own n. The truth is that the new Im
perial or colonial policy is in Its es
sence a robber's game, and every fol
low picks out the country which suits
him best to annex provided It Is fe?Me
enough not to be able to Uefend Itself.
Brother Boutell's bid for notoriety i
put him in the lead of all the Jingoes
who have expressed an opinion recent-
ly, and The Q lobe-Democrat's Indorse-1
ment of him puts it In the same claw
with him. I Buppose, as a matter of
fact, we could dismember Mexico, but
the question which would press Itself
upon the mind and conscience would
be, "Is It right, and Is the game worth
the candle?" Fpr whenever we under-
take ,to dismember Mexico, at least
during the life of General Diaz, we will
find that we have a good deal harder
Job on hand, than we had when we
wrre walloping Spain. The fact that
Mexico fears such a move cn our part
Is but one of the natural results of the
unjustifiable jingoism Into which this
country has been led In the last few
years.

Some Political Forecasts.

on politics of the future as follows:
