CHAIRMAN COR TK LVOV. When (Jeorge B, Cortelyou was chosen as chairman of the republican national committee a good deal of doubt was ex pressed as to the wisdom of the selec tion. Experienced politicians, the veter ans of many campaigns, felt that Presi dent Roosevelt "had made a serious mis take in choosing so young a man, with practically no experience In jwlltlcs. to manage the national campaign. It was quite freely predicted that he would prove unequal to the task and thus jeopardise republican chances of success. The result baa most decisively vindi cated the president's judgment and placed Mr. Cortelyou among the ablest and most sagacious campaign managers the country bas known. : Mr. Roosevelt had fonnd him to be a man of far more than ordinary executive ability and as ho desIfeQ that the campaign 'should lie conducted on a high plane he saw lu Mr. Cortelyou, after- several dis tinguished republicans had declined to accept the chairmanship of the national committee, the most available man for the position. i The confidence of the president in tho tact, discretion and executive capacity of Mr. Cortelyou has been fully justi fied. He conducted - iho campaign fairly and honorably and merits a liberal share of credit for the great victory. He was at no disadvantage liecanse 'n experienced in the arts and tricks and intrigues of siUties, but this fact rather commended him to popular confidence. As he said In the statement made nt the close of the campaign, it was con uuctea wun a mucu smaller runti ""'! any presidential campaign for the last twelve years, a fact which of itself is a sufficient refutation of the .democratic charge that, he had. .exacted contribu tions frdiu corporation under pledges or threats." - ! Oeorge R. Cortelyou has risen 'rapidly In public station and distinction- and in every position he has 'shown himself worthy of theronfidcn,-orem.sedlnbim.flJ,fl1, n;,i(1(l!j ,, ,llo publicans It Is understood to he the Intention of of lKni;,lls . ,.ountv , ppnorA, Dwnulilanl DiUkfArnlt A tkiu-il a. lt. ' ' " " i-"-- mnsier Kcneroi Hipi ii is newness to say that the republicans of the 'country would cordially approve his elevation to that office. so coy ft: rk yen dvrixg har. It Is stated" In a St. Petersburg dis patch that while the Russian govern ment wall not show offense at the Amer ican proposal of another peace confer- euoe at The Hague, to consider matters not determined at the first conference, It will decline to particate so. long as j the war lasts. Yhlle tjiis statement Is not given as official, no response having yet been made by the Russian Foreign office to the note, of our government re specting a -conference, -'It Is no doubt correct. It ra very generally expected that Russia would take this position and 1-ossIMy Japan also. Of course a con ference of the other powers signatory to Tho Hague convention could be held without the parlicitKitloii Of Russia and Japan and the decisions reached for the future consideration of those govern ments, but it Is very Improbable that this will be done. The probability Is that with Russia declining to take part in a conference her ally. France, will also decline, while lu the event of Japan not being willing to participate while the war Is g ang on. doubtless Great Britain would keep out. It consequently appears to tie's pretty safe conclusion that tlie effort to cot the nations again together fot the purpose of settling questions that are of s uue what urgent Internationa! Imjuirtsjice will not be effective until peace has beeu restored lu the far east.. Uioh is not promised for the very near future. The postponement cf these questions for a year or two," however, will probably not Lave any serious results. While it Is desirable tbl they shall 'be jJefmltely settled. t ill "there is a tacit - feiaud. lag rvsiMH-t!ng t h em among t pewers. trouble of a serious nature is likely to arise from them. The course of Uussia lu the war has given an Impression cf their urgency, but that power has been t.iuulit somo lessons that may confi dently lie counted Uton to Improve her conduct, and lesidcs lier naval strength has been so rcdm-rd that she is no longer to le regarded as dangerous in that direction. AS Til SHIPPIMJ I.EdlSLATloy. It Is not probable that there will lie any shipping legislation at the coming session of congress, yet the New York Chandier cf Commerce has just in structed its committee on commerce and revenue laws to watch at the coining ses sion legislation nffectitig the commerce of the country. The committee is esite clully requested to keep its eye on the bill expected from the merchant marine com mission to help American shipping. This commission, created by authority of con gress, bas taken a great deal of expert opinion on the question of building up the merchant marine and the understand ing Is that the bill if will frame nnd have offered when congress meets will provide for an increase in the tonnage taxes to Ik- levied on the ships of all nations. American and foreign, on the theory that our taxes are already lower than those of many other countries, and in this way several million dollars of additional rev enue can l)e secured for use iu t ho pay ment of subsidies. The wisdom of n policy of this kind is somewhat questionable, but It will be j well to await an official statement of the commission's position liefore making any , Tllpre "nrr ,, rarmHt advocates of j .criminating duties, notwithstanding the danger that such a policy would Jn- .. tnllntlon l.nt It Is not to lie serl i ,y ,,,,.,,,.,,,, tlmt , iporters of tlu plan of discriminating duties will ! succeed In having their iwliey adopted by congress. It is certainly true that it operated well for many years after the organization of the government and that the merchant marine grew to large pro portions under this policy, but conditions have greatly altered and we cannot now safely apply a policy in respect to our shipping that was useful a century ago. There is 'no issue between political par ties as to the desirability of having nil American merchant marine equal to the demands of our foreign trade. Roth of the leading parties have declared for this. The controversy is iu regard to a policy for bringing about the desired re sult and it cannot le snid that there is favorable promise of anything being done in the near future. Perhaps some encouragment is to le found in the fact that the great importance of the subject Is very generally recognized. SlUXAL YiC TOR Y IX TmH ULAS- The republicans of iKiugias county nre to be congratulated upon the sweeping victory won In spite of the desperate at tempt of the common enemy to foment factional strife and rouse factional dis cord In Its ranks. That Theodore Roosevelt would sweep the county by a much larger plurality than bad Itocn given to William McKiu ley four years ago was to be expected, but the wildest enthusiast would not have dreamed that Douglas county would pile up 5.(ns majority for Roose velt over all his comiietitors in the pres idential race and more than 8,0K) plu rality over Parker.

Having spent $2i.(0 in molding pub lie opinion s gainst the proisisition that Omaha should establish its own electric lighting plant, the strenuous president may now be expected to extend his cam paign of education to the city council to carry out his scheme of extending his oi tric light contract for five years, although it does not expire for thirteen ,onths and there is absolutely no ex- cuse for the mayor and council to even consider such a ptiositi.in. Colonel Bryan denies that be is to meet Hearst and wants It understood that any plan for a new party with which he may be Men I i tied will be the child of his own brain. This course will nt least relieve anyoue else of re sponsibility for failure. , "Our Iave" came to Omaha to bury Kennedy, not to praise b!m, and his track marks are visible alt through the rettirus from the Seventh ward. But "Our Have's" visits to Omsha have not liecn prolific, of Joy and comfort to tho disconsolate. The discussion of charter amendments will now be hi order. It should have been done before election, but, at any event, all proposed amendments should be discussed now, so tlmt we may have uo contention during the session of the legislature.

This method of electioneering may be safely recom mended to the American candidate who has only one speech to make. To be com pletely up to date, however, the phono graph should be put next to a transmitter, all the voters of the district called up simultaneously and the entire address de livered by telephone.

HOI 3D ABOtT SEW YORK. Ripples a the t arreat t Life Is) Meroplla. Like s nursery bunch chatetrlng over new toy. New Yorkers are applauding snd kic king In and over the Subway. Thers Is more kicking than applause, the chief causes of the eserclae being s deluge of bill posters and the underground at. mosphere. Barely twenty-four hours elapsed after the opening of the turf in the ground before the tiled walla of the stations were covered with flaring poters sme of them nailed onto the ornate tiling. It was a shovklng display of commercial greed, shocking to the artistic eense of an J nrtlstlo community, and a mighty roar went up. Also more posters. Then ths knockers turned to the contract hftween the city and the corporation operating the subway and found that the advertising privilege was a distinct clause of the con- tract. The privilege Is said to be worth ll.OOM) s year. The company Is stand- Ii g on Its rights, but with rare wisdom proposes a compromise calculated to re duce public Irritation. Subway air Is another addition to New York's celebrated collection of smella. It is a smell like that which characterises well kept manufacturing shops In which electricity drives the machines. The smelt escapes to the surface through the en trance kiosks and ths ventilating opening In the middle of upper Broadway. It was expected that the movement of trains In the subway would cause sufficient drsft to ventilate the shaft, but Instead the at mosphere Is churned up for Immediate consumption. Forc-d ventilation will be Imperative unless present conditions Im prove, r Another effect of riding In the tunnel Is ths"subway headache." which Is said to be due to the constant dait e before the eyes as the train goes through. The subway headache comes on with a rush, and, like all headaches that come to persons whose eyes sre a bit oPf normal. Is the result of some optical effect upon them. It Is about the forward portion of the head. The fact that the headache la here has been remarked many times by persons who have been using the underground. They come out of the tunnel and the shock when they hit the light after s flfteen-rainute ride In the dark seems to start It. As the day goes on It grows worse and then esses off tlowly Instesd of leaving the patient as It came, quickly. In fact, so many criticisms of the subway have been made that some one hss remarked that "If people don't quit throwing bricks st the subway they will soon fill It up." Two months ogo the New Haven railroad cut dcr.n its 3orvlce to sixty trains out of New York on week days and twenty-three on Sundays. Such a wild roar of rage rose from the commuters that President Stellen has now issued a new time table, giving twenty-two trains on Snndsy and fifty-seven on week days. It Is thought that a few more roars will bring the ter ritory served by the New Haven to s pe destrian basis. In TVslI atreet the other afternoon a thinly-clad young woman stopped suddenly opposite an express wagon, gased thought fully at the horse's nigh hind foot snd then stepped toward tho animal. Instantly the driver was of? his seat explaining that the horse was perfectly well snd It was Just habit for It to stand with that foot lifted i ne girl looked unconvinced. When the tale was done she bent over and passeC. her gloved hand over the pa-tern Joint. Ihat horse ought not to be driven," she said decidedly. . "All right, ma'am. I ll tell tho boss," re sponded tho driver. "I won't drive him to morrow." Few drivers are fooliah enough In these days to Insult women who remonstrate about the working of an unfit horse. The women have won respect for themselves as horse critica by convicting many brutal drivers. And lots of women have shown that they know about horses. If the practice which a great number of fat persons have lately been following In Central Park la continued It will become necessary for the commissioners to provide a separate track for them just ss was done some years ago for the bicycle riders. There la a mania on just now If a: healthy a diversion may he called a mania for early morning sprints through the park. Fat people who have tried alt sorta of rem edies between the Turkish bath and anti- fat powders aeem to have discovered the fact that a long run in the open air not only reduces the weight, but contributes much to the general health.

Smith, ex-commodore of the New York Yacht club and a millionaire resident cf the eastern metropolis, hss effected a remarkable curs of what was believed to be fatal lllneev. Early last spring Mr. Smith, who Is 75 years old, was taken 111 with a complication of gout snd Bright' disease. By the month of June he hsd lost fleet! un til be wss a mere skeleton. Then he In sisted on being taken on board his yacht, on the deck of which he had a special ham mock rigged.

For COu) the United States Battleehlp Mains Salvage company has bought from the Cuban government the wreck of ths Maine in Havana harbor.
