The Hartfcsd City Gazette is 'ferninst the nomination cf Major Steele for congr***. acd in consequence thereof the plot thicker.-. and there .- fan ahead for the grandstanders. As another evidence that the Ry** v*lt machine is under construction. is the fact that the president has named Harrv X-w of the Indianap.i.s Journal, as firet assistant postmaster gee era). This, of coone. is another slap at th* Fairbanks pre-i iential twon. Sematob Tillmax did not attend a dinner given at the white bouse in honor of Prince H*ery of Prussia. One of the rensous for Lis not. appearance was the withdrawal ny the president of t.* invite n. While * are not np in white bouse etbi -. ret we venture to remark that nothing was tort in the ordeal, by either the praaadeot or Seoat ?r T liman.

It is merely whispered that Hanna has an ambition to become the chief executive of the nation, and the only importance that attaches to the whispering is the fact that the men who are doing it. The United Stales senate believes that it has consider able to do with framing public opinion for the nomination of a president, and in the senate is where all of th* Hanna presidential talk is to he beard. There is no particular antagonism t< Roosevelt in th* talk. The senate being a conservative body, cannot understan d how Roos-velt is to mak* a su<c*~- of the presidency, and oremay bear constantly in talking with senators -be suggestion that som* onbemde* Roosevelt will be tbe republican nomine* three years hence. Sesato- Tillmax and his colleague Senator McLaurin bad a short fistic encounter in the senate the other dat that was disgraceful. coming as it did from tae solemnity of dignity, th* Utv led States senate. Since then Seuators Hanna. Fairbanks, Foraker and several other talented repiw-ijta tires of that grand old party, hare been divorcing themselves 6f longwinded eulogies of the senate anti the dignity they bestow upon the people (or condescending to lie |>art and parcel thereof. The occurrence deserves full cemdemnatiou, but bad tbene senators been republicans in stead of democrat*. Senators Hanna. PairiMnks and Foraker would l<e tood and i lamerous in coloring the *dg*«, and any efforts todeprive them of their liberties would be roundly censured. Us DEB the splendid leadership of Senator Railey of Texas, the demo cratic seoatoni have driven the republicans to cover. Th* majority mem uers of the upper b-dy are in' a complete rout and sought a flimsy excuse to adjourn in order to collect their senses. The republican senators now realize that they mad* a big mwtako in denying th* stale of South Carolina th* right of suffrage on the Philip pine tariff bill. The bill has parsed, and unless the republicans retr>** their steps, reconsider and altoir Till man and M Laurin to rote tb-ir blunder miy m*en a hard fight in the courts to test the coustitutiooaiity of tbe iniijuitous tariff measure the . are so solicihHis of protecting. Tberestor ation of the names of Tillman and to tbe roll was tbeacknowl edgment if a most grievous error. Ludlow in fndianapolu Sentinel.

I ■ and as a member of the national congress would prove no nx-re figure i bead. He is young, bright in mind ! and has talent and ability to srwre. In addition to Mr. Smith there has •rea £ .rating over th* district th* | probable candidacy of Hon. Fred S. i Caldwell of Winchester, but he has telegraphed headquarters that he has ,00 hankering to go to Washiazvm. I Ihe Hon. J. J. Netterville of Aoder- . son has also Ix-en mentioned. and he • ha« si tie qualities of a good candi- . date arid a g»i congressman, and if nominated is assured of a rich juicy majority from Adams courtv. I Irts asserted that Congreotmar. | '.romer o, the eighth district spent bej tween WHO and $4,000 to secure a nraominatiou. It is a safe conclusion , to say that a man who will spend that , sum of money or who is compelled to ; spend as large a sum. is not a desirable man to have a hand in the enactment of j laws for the government of the people, lit is not a good recommendation for j anv man to have to resort to the wholei MM use of money in order to succeed, j Furt herux re Cromer spent nearly all 1 the time since .-ongress convened in !

Wayne charter laws passed ( bv the last legislature have been decired uncoostitutisGal by the supreme court. Once more right preTht finding of President Koorevdt cu th* Lj--y appeal is an es ort to promote his policy of stopping iiscuw-ixi of the matter. As tearlv as possible it is a deeisico that nobody was in command at tb« battle of Santiago. As to the question be-’w-"-2 S nley and Sampson, he say? expre?.?.y. fir as toe li'-.mi, fignt was concerned neither one nc-r the other in fact exercised any command." This may strike one as a clever expedient to get rid of the matter, but it involves som- difficulties. Admiral Sampson had gcce away for an inter view with General Shafter. He n*ce*saFily knew tnat while thus --r c-\y*d he could not atten j to his duties as commander of tne fleet. He Lad sailed down past them all firing the signal. 'Disregard the movemeots of the commander in-chief." Was not that of itself a temporary abdiction of ; >nini&XXl ? A nv.r**ny*Gtg fr ■ be regarded* What were the captains Ito understand? It was geceraliv I Known threugh the fleet that Sampson I wa‘ going to see Shafter. If be did : n t by his action Scklev iu command. ce left the fleet without any commander at all. That would have I i*en a naval blunder that was inex- ■ disable. Indeed, it is so serious a j thing that m strict ruling it cannot occur at all. The command devolves j «i the ranking officer in such a case, without any orders, and because a . commander is neceesary. It is a ease j*.. the king is dear!; long live the king, on a temporary basis, fnj questionably Schley understood that he was ;n cw<r mana. UnqucstiouuLlv ! he signaled the orders that were fit j owed, whether thev were standing ord-re or not And'if he was not in 1 command the grave error was mae'e j m leaving the fleet without a .--mI mander. President Roosevelt's little juggle will not do, and it looks the worse because of his fri*udly confer | ence with Schley, and the ’ manifest 1 myremiMu he create I that be would I right the wrong done.
