It has been discovered by farmers that the enactment of the oleomargarine bill has not thus far Increased the price of butter, as was predicted by Its advocates. Republicans throughout the country will hope for a verification of Representative Babcock'a assurance that "Wisconsin will return Mr. Spooner to the Senate. No man 13 more needed there. It may es well be admitted that high commercial conditions and general prosperity are conducive to trusts. There are no trusts in Patagonia, Central Africa, Siberia or Greenland. Secretary Shaw does not assume that the McKinley tariff is infallible, but declares freely that schedules can be amended without incurring the charge of treason to the principles of protection. If the Londoners had not given the Boer generate such a warm welcome they would probably find fault with their enthusiastic reception In Holland. But the mouths of the Britons are stopped, as It -were. Probably there was not a single trust formed in this country during the pa.nic of 1S03 to ISO), caused by Democratic legislation and mlsgovernment, but there were hundreds of mills and factories closed. Two nonunion men fired upon from ambush and seriously wounded and one nonunion man's house wrecked with dynamite were the gains of the anthracite strikers on Tuesday. If they are not careful they will wreck their cause. It is said Attorney General Knox takes a deep personal interest In the suits that have been Instituted by his direction for the enforcement of the Sherman anti-trust law, and that he fully expects to get a favorable Judgment in the Supreme Court. The Boston Herald permits its cartoonmakers to charge the responsibilty of highpriced anthracite co.il and higher rents in Boston to the protective tariff. Free trade papers have not reached that point of desperation or ignorance In this locality. General Chaffee has Issued an order that Only in tho case of a written call from the Governor of a province for assistance will the troops in the Philippines Interfere with the enforce ment of law by the civil authorities. That removes nil possibility of the danger of a clash of authorities. The indorsement of Mr. Bryan by the Ninth district Democratic convention as the "matchless leader" and the indorsement of the Democratic State convention platform were doubtless regarded as a line illustration of adroitness by those who drew the platform, but outside it will be ngarded as a very stupid straddle. The imports of foreign merchandise were larger during the last fiscal year than ever before in the history of the country, but 4tJ per cent, of the value of such imports was in raw materials or partly manufactured goods. The value of fully manufactured merchandise last year was Hi.CKO.OOO, or only Ijöl.e ")!) more than In lvsi. The local Democratic organ assumes that the Journal "is getting away from its indorsement of the census fake" to the effect that only S.S per cent of the goods made in the country are made by what are called trusts. Tho crgan assumes too much. It assumes that everything which does not sustain its political policy is a "fake." It insistetl in 1S:2 and 13 that the claim that tin plate was being made in this country was a fake; then In 1n?S it assumed that tho claim that free and unlimited coinage of sliver would put the country on a silver basis was a "fake;" thn it allowed that K. to 1 was the real thing, and now again it declares PJ to 1 to be a "fake." Mr. W. E. Curti. at whose suggestion the quantity of trust-made goods was given separately by the ofllcl.il in charge of the division of manufactures, saw the lists and declared that they embraced all of the K Jods made by trusts In DOO that Is. all of

the goods made by the combining of several plants under one management. The Journal accepts the statement of Mr. Curtis, who has seen the lists. In preference to unsupported assumption. The Democratic paper quotes the testimony of President Ilavemcyer, of the sugar trust, to the effect that his company refines W per cent. of the- FUgar consumed In the country. Subsequent reports are to the effect that the Havemeyer trust Is making from SO to 5 per cent, of the refined sugar. But, whether his statement is or is not correct, the 10 per cent, refined and put upon the market under rather adverse circumstances is sufficient In volume to compel the trust to cut the price time and again until it is generally admitted by sugar dealers that there is very little profit in the business of refining sugar. "When It Is possible for a competitor who can supply but onetenth of the output of an article to force the company producing nine-tenths to cut prices time and again there is little danger that a monopoly can be established in this country unless backed by a patent.

JUSTICE HOLM KS AM) THE ADMINISTRATION. Some of the comments on the recent appointment of Judge Holmes, of Massachusetts, to the Supreme Bench show misapprehension of the fundamental principles of the government. Discussion as to whether Judge Holmes agrees with the policy of the administration on this or that public question is entirely out of order. Judges of the Supreme Court are not appointed because of their known or supposed views on any particular question, but because as good lawyers and Judges they are presumed to be able to deal ably and Justly with all questions as they arise. The Judiciary is an Independent co-ordinate branch of the government, and is under no obligations to sustain the political policies of the administration. If it were, It might have to change front with different administrations. Its obvious duty is, of course, to decide questions that come before it according to right principles and to expound the Constitution according to Its letter and spirit and established precedents. Beyond knowing that Judae Holmes is a good lawyer, clear thinker and just Judge, it was not necessary for the President to inquire whether he was an ardent supporter of administration policies or not. As a good lawyer he could not entertain any views that were dangerous, even though they might not shade exactly with those of the administration. It is much more important that the Supreme Court should consist of good lawyers who are clear and Independent thinkers than that Its members should be in full accord at all times or at any time with the views of the ruling administration. Judge Holmes was one of the first Judges In the country to recognize the right of labor to organize equally with capital, and, consequently, the right of union men to use all legitimate means to carry their points. In a case that came before the Massachusetts court he held that workingmen had a right to combine and organize to get the most they could for their labor, and added: "It must be true that when combined they have the same liberty that combined capital has to support their interests by arguments, persuasion and the bestowal or refusal of those advantages which they otherwise lawfully control so long as they do no violence or threaten no violence." There is nothing radical In this. It simply shows a disposition and ability to take an absolutely fair view of the question. Again he said: Capital should not oppress labor, nor labor attempt to cripple capital. Labor has the same rights of organization as capital, and to accomplish its purpose of organization In any manner not disturbing to the public peace or disrupting the equilibrium of government. There should be no force exerted to give either labor or capital an advantage over the other, legal or otherwise, or any unjust discrimination against tho rights of either. No person would now think of calling these views radical or even advanced. They are axiomatic, and admitted by everybody. No person denies the right of workmen to strike, but no Intelligent person claims that they have a right to prevent other persons from taking their places, or a right to use force or violence to carry their points. Everybody will agree with Judge Holmes that the laws should not give either capital or labor an advantage over the other, and that there should be no unjust discrimination against the rights of either. The labor question is a social rather than a political one, but Judge Holmes's expressions on the subject are indicative of his fairness and Independence. He will doubtless prove a valuable addition to the Supreme Bench, and the fact that he Is a life-long Republican is sufficient guarantee of his general soundness on political questions. THE SWEATIIOX. During the recent hysterical efforts of the Chicago rollce to discover the perpetrators of a murder, one man was subjected to so long a "sweating" process that he finally allowed the wildest kind of statements to be put in his mouth and assented to everything he was asked. His lawyers finally rescued him by habeas corpus and had him put In Jail to escape further persecution. The incident Justifies a question whether the "sweatbox" system Is not liable to be carried to an extent that makes it an abuse. No person except the police and the victims of the system knowJust how it Is practiced or to what extent it is carried, but there is reason to believe it Is pushed far beyond the verge of personal rights or legal authority. Suspects, and even criminals, have some rights whieh the law protects and which officers Of the law are bound to respect. There are other forms of torture besides physical, and the lw does not authorize one more than the other. The police in all American cities do many things of doubtful authority, and it Is questionable if the "sweatbox" practice is not one of them. The Constitution of the United States says "cruel and unusual punishments shall not be Inflicted." and every State constitution contains a similar provision. This, of course, means after conviction, but all the more it should prevent such punishments before conviction. The "sweatbox" practice is cruel to the last decree, and In countless Instances it has been used on persons who were Innocent cf any crime. It is the duty of the police to bring criminals to punishment, but in the performance of the duty they should be held within legal bounds. The laws of all tho States provide that "no jterson shall be compelled, in any criminal case, to be a witness against himself." Yet that Is the sole object of the "sweatbox" system, and confessions thus extorted by means of exJ aulilte tortur re somctlcaea Introduced

in court as "voluntary" confessions. Where, in any case, does a policeman get the right to turn inquisitor and use methods and practices unknown to the law? The use cf violence to bring about a confession of guilt or of guilty knowledge is a violation of the individual's constitutional right, and there may be moral violence as well as physical. If it is not checked the "sweatbox" practice may become a dangerous abuse.

Tili: TWELFTH DISTRICT. A congressional district which has the Industrial city of Fort Wayne as a center of political Influence should not be longer represented in the House by a man who has always voted against every measure which has brought prosperity to the whole country and to no district more generally than the Twelfth. To-day Fort Wayne Is a prosperous city, with factories giving employment to thousands and with an increased trade for its business men because every important measure which Representative Robinson has opposed 4ias become law and every proposition for which he has stood and stumped the district has been defeated. No man can have a worse record on the money question than has Mr. Robinson. Be fore he was nominated for Congress he was a blatant advocate of free and unlimited coinage of silver while other Democrats were yet holding back. When he stumped the district in 1506 the crime of 1S73 and the wickedness of the gold standard were the subjects of his addresses. Doubtless It was the one thing In which he fully believed, and he believed in it until lOüü, when he doubted because he feared that that dangerous heresy could no longer win votes. In 1500 he made his campaign largely on the Bryan Issue of quitting the Philippines. This year he will talk of trusts and perhaps a little of the wickedness of the protective tariff. The adoption of the gold standard and the enactment of the McKinley tariff brought prosperity to the country in 1S07. Both of these Mr. Robinson did his utmost to defeat. If Mr. Robinson could have had his way in 1S97, when President McKinley called Congress to pass a tariff law, a tariff for revenue only would have been enacted. Later, when the gold standard bill was passed, if Mr. Robinson could have had his way a law providing for free and unlimited coinage of silver would have been enacted and the country would now be on the silver basis with China and Mexico. In the first Instance he would have given our markets to European competitors, and In the second to a syndicate of millionaire silver-mine owners through the coining of 50 cents" worth of silver into dollars to the country's financial ruin. Mr. Robinson has made quite a number of Union veterans believe they are indebted to him for pensions or the increase of pensions. Mr. Robinson himself knows that he has done nothing of the kind. He has done no more than has every Republican representative in Indiana for veterans of both parties In their districts. All that either can do Is to have cases called up and to have the applicants Informed regarding their status. The law prevents representatives from doing more than this. If Mr. Robinson has been telling veterans that he has done more than to have cases called up and to Inform claimants of the proof required to make cases, he has taken advantage of the Ignorance of such men. A district which has profited so much as has the Twelfth by the prosperity of six or Beven years should wipe out Mr. Robinson's plurality of 628 and fend a man to the House who will vote for and not against prosperity. The Twelfth should elect Mr. Gllhams, the Republican candidate, who is one of the most successful farmers In the state. It Is not likely that the conference of apple growers which has Just been held at St. Louis was with reference to fixing prices for this j-ear's crop. It is probably too late to do that. The object of the conference was stated to be to effect a permanent organization of apple growers, and it adjourned to meet again in November. The purposes of the organization, as stated in the call, are "to ascertain the best culture methods, secure annually statistics as to the extent and condition of the apple crop and bring before each annual gathering a summarized presentation of progress in apple culture." The secret census report showed that the center of the apple-producing area is now In the Mississippi valley, and Missouri Is the leading State. At the recent conference there were delegates pres ent from Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, Alabama and New Mexico, but none from tnis State. Our farmers and fruit growers ought to see to it that Indiana does not lose its place among apple-growing States. The charges of corruption and official malfeasance against Hon. John G. Brady, Governor of Alaska, should not be believed without proof. Governor Brady passed a portion o his early life in this State, and he has always maintained a high reputation for integrity and honor. It will probably be found that the charges against him are due to spite on account of somebody's failure to "work" him. The headlines of the Cincinnati Enquirer over the speech of Secretary Shaw declare that "the tariff is the parent of conditions which make It profitable for capitalists to combine," but readers who look over the speech for such a statement cannot find it. Most people, however, will read the whole of Secretary Shaw's speeches, and consequently will not be deceived by lying headlines. The statement in the News a few days ago to the effect that Judge Kirkpatrick, the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Ninth district, has been twice elected judge by the vote of Republican Howard county is incorrect. He was elected by the votes of Howard and Tipton. The last time Judge Kirkpatrick ran in Howard countyhe did not run ahead of his ticket. Mr. Taggart won two elections as mayor upon making an emphatic pledge not to permit natural gas to be sold through meters. How much better for Mr. Taggart and the mass of people now If he had had tne courage tn say nve or six years ago: "Steps must be taken to save natural gas, or we shall soon have none; therefore. I am In favor of meters." Again Mr. Watterson Is after both Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Bryan. "There were Boy Orators before Bryan," he said last Sun day, "and Stuffed Prophets before Cleve land. If some Tilden," he continues, "In some one of the determinate States comes not to the rescue but he will." Unfor

tunately for the Democratic party there Is no Tilden in sight. THE HUMORISTS.

Now he acts very much like the man to whom "all is vanity." His course suggests that he is not enamored of anything to which he has attained In the way of worldly honors.

He has attained a growth that appears to have over come the weaknesses of good nature while retaining its admirable and prsuaslve qualities, and it makes the senator one of the most interesting Americans now in public life. MEN TO MAN THE SHIPS. Demand Far In Excess of Supply in the Naval Service. Baltimore American. Isn't It pretty nearly time the country was saved from hearing, every time we propose to build a new ship for our navy. about the shortage of officers and men? This plaint has become most monotonous. and is entirely out of place among a people who reeard themselves a world nowor. It is a fact that requires no argument in the suusiuiiuawuu men vu cuiinoi nave snips I. I 4 I .1 . a. 1 ii to any profit unless we have the men to man them. We are well over Into an era of greater development, where a great navy is essential to our national welfare, and while we are building the ships we still have to listen to the old complaint about the shortage of officers and men for their complements. Obviously the thing for us to do is to increase the personnel of the navy, lhe alternative is to stop building ships. As between the proposition and the alternative Congress must decide. Admiral Taylor, chief of the bureau of navigation, proposes to recommend in his forthcoming annual report that the enlisted force be Increased to -10,000 men, 11.5" more than it is at present. Secretary Moody intends to recommend great increases in the number of officers. and President Roosevelt is planning to back up these rec ommendations with a strong plea to Congress for a larger naval personnel. We earnestly trust this sort of systematic at tack upon Congress will prove successful. Heretofore that body, while providing liberally for new ships, has failed to make the proper provision for officers and men to man the ships In service and those under construction. The result lias been that at nearly every period our naval efficiency has been impaired simply because we could not use all the ships available for use. To wake Congress to a realization of the importance of providing men at the same time it provides for the ships is a duty those in power owe to the country, and while we shall be pleas.ed at having no more to hear the complaints about the shortage of oiricers and men. the greater satisfaction will come, when Congress acts, in knowing that while we have the ships and the guns we have also the men to make our naval strength a matter of national prido and international envy. Whnt George Didn't Have. Nebraska State Journal. A discontented editor has been calling upon the people of the country to note that George Washington had no yacht to sail about in when he was tired, and the inference is that it is unconstitutional for Presidents to have yachts kept for them. However, a Cleveland newspaper has somewhat tempered the indignation of the populace by calling attention to the well known historical fact that neither did George have a telephone in his back office or a steam heater in his cellar, or plumbing in the house to burst In cold weather, or a typewriter and no dally paper at his front door every morning. Still George might have had a sailing vessel like a schooner or a sloop In which to disport himself on the water, but It might have been awkward for him to ue It much. He was liable to be blown out to sea almost any windy day, and nobody knows where he would have pulled up at last. There were a good many things that George didn't have, especially an automobile and a bicycle. But whatever conveniences were in the market the first President wai accustomed to supply himself and It is likely that he would have had all these things if he had known about them.

MISSION WORK IN AFRICA

WHAT IIISIIOI J. C. II ARTZELL HAS DONE AMOc; THE HLACIvS. His Achievement in Manhonnlnnd mid I. Hierin ltcturn of the IliMliop to liaise .Money. Fpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK. Aug. 20.-J. C Hartzell. "b'.shop of Africa" for the Methodist Epis copal Church, bronzed by exposure to the tropical sun and eager to see his native land again, reached New York to-day on the steamship Oceanic, after an absence of two years, during which time he has traveled thousands of miles and endured many hardships in the discharge of his episcopal duties. He has returned to assist ln reawakening enthusiasm in foreign mis sions and to raise money for his Industrial, educational and evangelistic undertakings in Africa. While in this country his permanent headquarters will be at 150 Fifth avenue. Bishop Hartzell's dloces-3 includes all of the Republic of Liberia and extensive re gions on the east and west coasts soutn of the equator. Since his election as the successor of Bishop William Taylor in 1S0Ö he has labored lndefatigably in oranizing the workers and in enlistiiiR the support of Europeans and government offi cials residing in his territory. One of his first and most noteworthy achievements was to secure a donation from the British South Africa Company in which Cecil Rhodes was interested of 12A) acres of land and ten buildings at Old Umtall in Mashonaland, which cost the company $10",OoO. Two fine rivers run through the vast estate. The houses are of brick with corrugated lion roofs and verandas. It is said to be the largest single girt ever ir.ade to a church in a foreign mission field. Old Umtali will be made a central station, where natives will be instructed and prepared to go out and become leaders and teachers in the interior. A series oi industrial shops have been established, orphans' home started and a hospital opened. Natives have been supplied with farming implements, donated by American manufacturers. A native school is taught and regular religious work carried on. Special attention is being given to stock raising and agricultural developments under the instruction of missionaries. Recently the development of the school at Umtali, a short distance from Old Umtali. made a new building necessary. The bishop bought a good property, well located, for 112,1). The government gave $5,000 of the amount and loaned the balance at a low rate of Interest. It also gives dollar for dollar on the support of three teachers and the equipping of the school. In Hambane, for centuries the headquarters for slavery, there is a prosperous mis sion station. A printing outfit is operated nd literature published in Christian and native dialects. In this station a native teacher with his wife, on a salary of a few dollars a month, will establish himself In a town and with the assistance of the na tives build a house out of native materials which will serve as parsonage, church and schoolhouse. Among one tribe this teacher has gained several hundred converts who can read the New Testament in their own tongue. The strongest station is in Liberia where there are 25,000 Americo-Liberians, a few civilized natives, surrounded by heathens. Here the educational, industrial and rell haps a hundred Europeans, mostly English, engaged in trade. The city of Funchal, the capital, contains SO.GuO inhabitants, and the islands 120,000. Missions have been cstabg donated outright. It Is used to supplement the contributions of the natives with the expectation that in time they will become entirely self-supporting. MIMIC NAVAL WAR.

The night was not favorable for any at tempt on Commander Pillsbury's part, as it was clear with a brilliant moon. At mid night the battleships could be discerned moving about in the bay, and the probabil ity was that an attack by the hostile fleet might not be expected before to-morrow night. Marine Put Anhöre. KENNEBUNKPORT, Me.. Aug. 20. The cruisers Brooklyn and Olympia, the con verted yacht Mayflower and the torpedo boat Shoubrick arrived off Cape Porpoise just before 3 o'clock this afternoon. The larger vessels remained well off shore, but the torpedo boat ran in and anchored near the cape, remaining there about half an hour.

Aug. 20.-Naval officers here generally agree that the chances against the white squadron in the game which is on are very great, and that practically its only chance cf success would lie in the existence of a heavy fog. under which Commander Pillsbury might slip through the cordon of scouts and reach an anchorage in an undefended port. The distance between Cape Cod, the southern ex tremity of the coast defended by Admiral Higginson's ships, and Portland, Me., is only about 100 miles. In addition to the torpedo craft and his lighter ships, which he could use as scouts and string along between these points almost within signal distance of each other, while the heavier ships were held together ready to move at some central point. Admiral Higginson has stationed ensigns all along the shore to rejort the enemy the instant it is sighted. These naval olflcers will le reinforced byall marine observers along the coast. To win the white squadron must be in port for six hours without being- confronted with a superior force. W. ithin that time after the white squadron was sighted Admiral Higginson. if he held his heavy ships midway between the two extremities of the line to bo fit-fended, at RoCKport, for instance, could reach his enemy by steaming ten or eleven knots an hour. From Cape Ann. which Is just outside of Rockpcrt. to Cape Cod is only forty-two and a half miles, and from Cape Ann to Elizabeth light, outside of Portland, is only fiftyeight miles. Another feature of the situation which will militate against the chances of the white squadron is the Instruction which requires Commander Pillsbury to enter "an undefended harbor," one "with de-ep water approaches." with "six fathoms" of water, one capable of tiefende by "guns and mires" and one In which heavy ships could anchor. These restrictions will confine him to less than a dozen harbors, among them Portland. Portsmouth. Rockport. Salem and Provlncetown. None of the mny other places, like New buryiort. Ipswich. Annisquan. Gloucester, Manchester. Beverly. Marblehead above Boston, or Plymouth. Barnstable and the other ports below wcmld be avatlable. A full moon is also another factor against the enemy's success. In the circumstances the naval experts generally agree that an

attempt to strike the coast during the daytime would be foolhardv for the attacking lleet. but that at night with very thick weather It might be possible for Commander Pillsbury, with his ships darkened, to creep in. pass the stouts and quitly anchor without being reported until too lato for Admiral Higginson to reach him with a superior forte. The speed of Commander Pillsbury's fastest ship, the Prairie, is H.9 knots, the l'aiitlur can make IS. but the Supply only ?i2. so that if the fleet is kept together, as his Instructions direct, the speed of his jHjuaciron cannot be more than its slowest, namely. $T-2 knots. If sighted outside, therefore, by one of the swift torpedo boats, which make from 20 to 25 knots an hour, the scout could scoot away to the nearest land point and report the enemy to Admiral Higclnson, who could be on his way to intercept him before the latter could reach his destination.

A II 31 Y MAN El" VEHS. Regular and 31111tla to He Mobilised nt Fort Itlley, Ron. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2u.-An order was Issued at the War Department to-day directing the mobilization of a mixed division of regulars and militia on the large reservation at Fort Riley, Kan. The regular troops to participate in the encampment and attending maneuvers at this point com prise the following organizations: First battalion - engineers; headquarters nana. first and second squadrons. Fourth Cavalry; third squadron. Eighth cavalry. Sixth, Seventh. Ninth. Twentieth and Twenty-eighth Batteries, Field Artil lery; headquarters band and twelve companies Sixth United State Infantry; headquarters band and twelve companies. Twenty-second Infantry; headquarters band and Eighteenth United States Infantrj', excepting Company L; detachment of the signal corps; detachment of the hospital corps. The Governors of all the States were In vited to send a contingent of the various State forces to participate in these maneuvers, but for want of appropriations few States found themselves able to participate. Arkansas will send one battalion of infantrv. Kansas two regiments of infantry and two batteries of field artillery and Ne braska two regiments of infantry. A number of Governors have signified their intention to send officers to witness these maneuvers, and have expressed the hope that they may be able in future years to turnish organizations to take part In such practical work, which will be of great bene fit. It is expected President ltooseveit win review the troops, but the date has not been determined definitely. The regular contingent of the division will go into camp at Fort Riley Sept. 20, and will be followed by the state organiza tions Sept. 23. It Is intended to continue joint maneuvers for a period of ten days after the division is organized. In order not to interfere with the current work of the various department headquarters a special division staff has been detailed to report to Major General John C liates. who has been assigned to command of the division during the maneuvers. The benefits to be derived from bringing together regiments, brigades and divisions is so apparent that the War Department ! has fully determined upon this policy for the future. Many of the States have permanent maneuvers for their National Guards during the summer months and the result has been extremely beneficial to all those organizations. The regular armyhas had an abundance of field service during the past four years, but nearly all the recent work in the Philippine islands has been done by small detachments, frequently mere squads. There will be no effort to imitate the great maneuvers which take place annually in Europe. The government intends to utilize Its own reservations for this work, whereas, in Europe, the maneuvers practically cover a space as great as the whole of New England. With their long experience in these matters they have been able to maneuver over private property under some Just and equitable arrangement for compensation, but in America any attempt to do this would be followed by a flood of claims for damages, and no such scheme ever could be carried out. It is probable the maneuvers for this year will include Instruction in the advance and rear guard, patrolling, passage of defiles, defense of convoys, marches of concentration, attack and defense of positions, use of pontoon bridges and combined maneuvers of the three arms. The following officers have been assigned to duty on the staff of General Bates and have been directed to report at Fort Riley r.ot later than Sept. 20: MaJ. J. W. McClernand, cavalry, adjutant general; Lieut. Col. E. C. Mills, inspector general; Capt. C M. Baker, chief quartermaster; Capt. H. J. Gallagher, chief commissary; Lieut. Col. John Van R. Hoff, chief surgeon, and MaJ. G. I. Scrlven, chief signal officer. TO TOUR NEW ENGLAND ITINERARY" OF TUG PRESIDENT'S TRIP THROUGH YAMvCEDOM.

Lyon, chairman of the Republican state committee of Texas, called on him and presented his side of the controversy which has arisen among the Republicans ef the Lone Star State. The President stated to him with the utmost emphasis that no man had any authority to speak for the President as regards Texas matters; that the President was taking no sides for or against any man er any faction among the Texas Republicans; that, as a matter of fact, the President was exceedingly impatient with these Republicans who went into factional divisions, and that In any such States as Texas or Virginia. In which the Republican party is in a minority, but yet hail a chance to do something, tho President felt the credit would fall to those Republican leaders who were able to make a good showing at the polls, especially for congressional candidates and not to those who spent their time plotting how they could get delegates or receive offices. He told Mr. Lyon that he could explain this to all Texas Republicans of every faction. The President also told him that if ever, in any such Southern State, a Republican congressman was elected, it would amount to far more In the President's mind than anything which toull be done in the way ef offices, and that he felt there was little need of recognition for any organization which existed only for offices and delegates. It was learned that the President told Chairman Babcock. of the Republican congressional committee, when the latter visited him a few days ago. that he was profoundly discontented vitli the Virginia Republican organization for not making a resolute effort to elect a Republican congressman from the we ste rn ellstricts of Virginia, and that ho felt that an organization which did not try to develop the fullest party strength at tho polls had no claims upon him. Mr. Lyon was the President s guest at luncheon, the other guests being George E. Roberts, director of the mint; Frederick: W. Holls, of New York, who was secretary to the American embassy at The Hague conference, and Dr. Albert A. Shaw, editor of the Review of Reviews.

Mr. Roberts staled that he had not made up his mind just w hen he would relinquish his office to arsume charge of the paper he has purchased in Iowa.
