MYSTERIOUS POPULARITY.
Long before, and since the convention, every
republican newspaper has been preaching har
mony between the leader? of both the republican
and progressive parties: and according to tele
graphic new?, success has crowned their efforts.
They hare pointed out that in order to return
the party to power, they must unite and togeth
er fight the democrats out of office. That unless
the proposed union is complete, the party will
have to remain on the back seat for another four
years. A horrible situation to contemplate.
The oki guards nominated Hughes, not be
cause they wanted him, but because they knew
they could not handle Teddy, and they preferred
to take their chances with a new man than feel
the lasts of the old whip again. Such being the
case: why then, should the progressives—for
the sake of harmony that can only result in giv
ing the old guards the upper hand—give up the
man whom they know to be a real leader for a
man the country knows practically nothing
about. Hatred and spite of the old guards de
feated Roosevelt for the nomination. If it was
impossible for them to forget for the sake of
harmony; why should they demand more than
they are willing to gram themselves. It is true
that the progressives have nothing against
Hughes, but Hughes is not the leader of the
party, he is merely the tool of the leaders.
Of Justice Hughes himself, his popularity may
be said to be one of the inexplicable features of
the present campaign. Not that he is without
achievement, for he has done considerable, yet
he has done nothing that can justify the confi
dence of the people that he is the great man the
country need. It is different with Roosevelt. He
proved his metal.
SOMETHING WRONG THERE.
The commissioners in charge of the govern
ment railroad at Anchorage have repeatedly
warned the public not to go there with the idea
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa * JL ■ • *
that work could be obtained easily, as there were
(hare men than were needed. A Lite p:per f:‘xn
: there says that a eanneiyman beiny in need of
help, made a sp».*cial trip to the city, and with
the assistance of two other men. finally secured
the services q,t nine men and was "compelled to
leave without getting the number of men he went
after.”
From an unquestionable source, the Progress
ive-Miner learned yesterday that the town is
over crowded with idle men; and has been so ever \
since it was started, so to speak. It is said that ]
those who have been fortunate enough to secure.
employment or. the railroad, stick to their posi-;
tion because there is nothing else to do* One
man who has been there with his family for the
last six or eight weeks, solicited our informant
to help him to secure a position—at anything;
but tailed. Now why should a newspaper who
claims to have the interest of a community at
heart circulate such misleading reports as the
above, is not clear to us. Really, it looks as|
though there was something wrong somewhere, j
THE MINISTER'S MESSAGE
_
(Baltimore Sun.)
it is as true of the minister of the Gospel as it is of
the politician that he cannot fool all the people all the
time. If he is not sound at heart himself, if he is not •
absolutely sincere, if he is not animated by the spirit
of his Master, if he is not about his Master's business
all the time, if he is not touched by sympathy for human ,
infirmities and human weaknesses, if he is not tolerant
and charitable in his judgments, if he is not full of the.
divine tenderness which made Christ the champion of
publicans and sinners, he is not going to reach men's
soul or minds. For the last two years Christianity has
been asking itself the question whether it is losing its
power with the masses- and if so, why? If it has, it is.
perhaps, because the church bas been getting away from
the people, not because the people have been getting
away from the church. Wherever a simple, earnest, lov
ing man. like Newman, or Gibbons, or Phillips Brooks,
comes to the front, the people hear him gladly. Christ ;
is still a power among men whenever He is made mani
fest in human lives, and if the churches are to maintain i
their influence they must see to it that their messengers
speak not only in His name, but with His voice and with
His heart.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal says: "A Wilson
and Marshall editorial four years ago makes just as .
good reading for present conditions.'' The Wilson and
Marshall editorial of four years ago consisted of fervid
denondatioos of the protective tariff as the cause of
high prices and a promise that when the Democrats got
office and reduced the tariff there would be iarge reduct
ion in the cost of living. Those editorials are rather ludi
crous reading now.—( Post-Intelligencer.)
Well, anyhow, nobody will be able to accuse the Unit
ed States of “starting the war" with Mexico. Figurative
ly speaking. Uncle Sam has been slapped on both cheeks
and kicked where his coattails are. a number of times,
and bas contended himself with verbal protests. Presi
dent Wiison goes to war much in the same fashion as a
coy maiden goes to meet her first boy friend. Not trip
pingly.— < Port Angeles Herald. 1
