Kirin IK THE LUTE
Discordant notes mar the Republican
paean of victory and threaten to utterly
destroy its harmony. Some of the mem
bers of the band refuse to follow tbe baton
of Director Hanna.
No finer scheme of politioal campaign
ing could be devised than that conoocted
by tbe manager of tbe McKinley syndi
cate. Its fundamental principle was tbe
organization of tbe powerful combine in
terests of the country for • speculative
venture in politioe. The pool interests
were to supply the working capitsl in
retnrn for the privilege of despoiling tbe
people in tbe event of success.
Boss Hanna was to manage tbe cam
paign and divide up the spoila among tbe
investors. The pool, necessarily, was
baaed on the theory that Hanna would
ezeroiae the supreme power in the Re
publican party and the administration.
Of coarse, the pool was a good thing for
the Republican party and the programme
arranged would be a pleasant and profit
able thing for the members of the syn
dicate.
But tbe programme has met obstruc
tions, says the St. Louis Republic. The
Republican leaders who have had the
direction of tbe party were glad to have
tbe aid of the syndicate, but do not pro
pose to turn over tbe party to its man
ager. They were willing that tbe party
should profit by tbe pool’s investment in
political enterprise, bat they object to
the party's beiog made a mere instrument
of speculation now that the victory has
been won. They refuse to consent to
make all personal ambitions and party
ends subservient to political business.
Bom Hanna find* hit dictatorship in
legislation in behalf of his syndicate dis
puted by Dingley, Reed and other party
potentates who have their own interests
to take oare of. The New England Sen
ators are with the insurgents, and Quay
has turned on the syndioate and beaten
it in Pennsylvania.
For outsider* it is a pretty fight. It
has great possibilities. Disclosures of
profound interest and the wreck of an
administration are among them.
Cadet George Muon Lee, the son of
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, has been dropped at
West Point and retires in disgrace from
the olaM of 1900 for deficiency in studies.
It is now said they are going to give him
another chance, but the humiliation is a
fearful one to the Lee family. It is all
the worse because this George Mason Lee
is a wonderfully bright fellow, but en
tirely careless in bis conduct and utterly
lacking in application. It hurts all the
same, as he is a grandnephew of Robert
G. Lee, who stood first in his class, ami
the son of Fitzhugh Lee, who came out
with excellent standing. The Lees have
furnished more cadet* for the National
academy and more officer* for the regular
army than any other family in the United
States, and this is the first time that any
of them has been even temporarily dis
graced, and it bnrta them worse than it
would to ms their boy brought home on
his shield.
The closing paragraph of John Sher
man’s book, published a year ago, take*
on new significance in view of the proba
bility of his beooming McKinley’s Secre
tary of State. He wrote, a* hi* vale
diotory message to the people : "I hope
that our people will be content with in
ternal growth, and avoid the complica
tions of foreign acquisitions. A republic
should not hold dependent provinces or
possessions. Every new acquisition will
create new embsrraasmente. The Union
already embraces enough discordant ele
ment* without adding other*. If my
life i* prolonged I will do all I can to add
to the strength and prosperity of the
United States, bnt nothing to extend its
limit* or to add new dangers by the ac
quisition of foreign territory.”
The oooteat for United Stetei Senator
in the State of Washington hat received
a new element of interest in the eandi
dsey of Mrs. Mary E. Hobart, a strict
middle-of-the-road Populist atateiwo
man, who oonsidert herself joat the per
son to represent the young common
wealth in the upper house of Congress.
The alleged frauds in connection with
the temporary organisation of the Cali
fornia Legislature are to be investigated
and the whitewash barrel is being put in
readiness for its biennial servioe. A Cal
ifornia Legislature without a soandal
would be a refreshing novelty.

The Nixon Senatorial babble bae
bursted. A joint cancnt held last night
retailed in vototng a very itrong Jonee
sentiment. Speeches were warm on both
tides. The tote stood as follows: Jones
35, Niion 3, the latter receiving only hi*
own delegation. Nixon was not here, his
wif* being seriously ill at Winnemucca.
Considerable pressure ba* been brought
to bear on Nixon'* friend* the past two
days to have tbem telegraph to Nixon to
withdraw, so a* to make Jone*’ election
unanimous, but they refused. No other
name* were presented* to the cancu* for
the United State* Senatorship other
than Jonee and Nixon.
Tbs following Senator* were not present
at the canons : Comics, Skaggs, Kaiser,
Mills and Summerfleld. AeBemblymen
Oliver and Hodgkinton were alto absent.
There was a hot fight all day Sunday on
the election of attaches of the Assembly.
A strong combination wa* finally mad*
whfoh carried everything, leaving Storey
oonnty practically in the shade, giving
her only a messenger and porter.
Lem Allen of Churobill wa* elected
Speaker without opposition.
Wilson and Harmon of Eureka get
position* in the Senate.
Bartlett of Eureka wa* elected Assistant
Chief Clerk of the House after a hot
battle.
MIST MELL OF SAUKBRCNI1.
Canon Appeal: Senator Skaggs of Elko
has arrived in thia city and ia at the
Ormaby House. He talked freely on the
Senatorial situation and said :
“ 1 was elected two years ago in Elko
oouoty. I ran independent and made
ray fight on the proposition of Home rule
in Nevada, and Nevada for Nevadans.
I told my audiences that any man to get
my vote for any office must smell of sage
brush, and if there ia any office in this
State too good for a Nevadan I am in
favor of abolishing it. I have always
fought for this principle and always will,
and I am glad to see people coming my
way.
“I am for Judge Fitzgerald of Eoreka
for the United States Senate. He is
able, he ia pure, and above all he amelia
of sagebrush. He haa been living here
for at least twenty years, and everything
he has on earth is in this State. When
a man owns more property in California
than he does in Nevada, I class him aa a
Californian. I do not for a moment depre
ciateJ ones'great ability aa a political lead
er, my only objection to him ia that hia
home and interests are in California and
he don’t stay here long enough to have
the pungent sage smell that I like in of
fice seekers, and I told him so in Elko a
few days ago when we had a friendly
talk on the subject.
"I believe that the State has given
too many offices to people who spend all
their money in California, and when their
terms of office are op haven’t a rod of
land in Nevada to show for the money
they drew out of the treasury.
*' If the Nixon-Jones fight comes to a
dead-lock, I think both forces will unite
on Fitzgerald. A. C. Cleveland will also
come in the fight with some support.”
Attorney General Harmon'a suit to
dissolve the Kansas City Live Stock Ex
change, on the ground that the institu
tion operates in restraint of trade, and
therefore violates the anti-trust law, is
an important proceeding, and the result
of it will be followed with eager interest.
If it oan be shown that the present laws
are adequate to the trust problem and
oan be made to afford ample protection
against monopoly oppression, the suit
will have served a valuable purpose.
Japan’s action in placing orders with
American shipbuilders for the construc
tion of two great armored cruisers is the
prompting of sound sense and a fine ap
preciation of onr splendid aohievements
in marine architecture. The enterprise
of the firms who have seoured these
valuable contracts is a tremendous foroe
in the work of recreating the navies of
the world, and it foreshadows an early
expansion in the importance of our ship
building industry.

As a tax-dodger the Pullman Palace
Car Company is something of a success.
It possesses property aggregating more
than $60,000,000, but is assessed for taxes
in Illinois to the extent of only $1,561,
935. The excuse of heasy taxation in
otber States seems to bare excited the
suspicion of the State anthorities, with
the following result, as related by (lor.
AItgeld in his annual message : “Corres
pondence with the officials of all the
otber States in this country, and of Can
ada, shows that all the taxes that it pays
on this contingent, Illinois included, do
not amount to a fair rate of taxation on
$20,000,000, and that consequently it has
orer $40,000,000 that should be taxed in
Chicago, upon which it doe* not pay a
cent.—Springfield Republican.
