OF ALL the moth-eaten, antiquated steeds in the rickety Democratic stable, it is popularly believed that Hill is at present the most avail- able for running purposes in 1904. His managers and press-agents have had him in the hands of the veterinary surgeon, who has ironed out his inequalities, anointed his spavins, and worked over his general anatomy very much in the manner of the archeologist who would restore the beauty of a fractured statue. As a result of this magician’s labors the specimen of antiquity upon which he has been operating exhibits a general friskiness that indicates a rate of speed which only exists in the imagination of his backers. It is believed that he will be entered in the race if he has a desire to run. After the race he will be retired permanently from the turf, and will then be eligible for the chariot of the clam-vender, or for the Gallic soup- pot. He will prove conclusively that he is no longer in the running, and that he is his own worst handicap, although he will not be handicapped, as he will carry no weight. The Democratic stable should realize, however, that it will gain a kind of victory in the defeat of this made-over equine wreck in which it has a sure loser. MB: ROOSEVELT has been before the public so long, and has in his time played so many parts, that it seems superfluous to allude to him or to enumerate his achievements. Everything he has attempted has re- sulted in a style of victory that should make the genuine American proud of him. He makes a specialty of doing just what he pleases, and in always doing it so well that it is not necessary for him to lose any sleep over the opinions of the fault-finding people who are always ready to raise the bazoo of disapprobation. There is no string on him which can be pulled to make him dance on the wind. There have been jumping-jacks in the white-house, but Mr. Roosevelt does not belong in that class. He is a jumper, and not a jumpee. He jumps but is not jumped on to any great or alarming extent. He has proved himself to be an all-round success in everything he has undertaken, from rounding up poppy-soaked policemen in coal-boxes to gathering the wild steer on the lope with a lasso. He has proved conclu- sively that he is a good and a fair fighter, and a statesman whose head is level and whose judgment is sound. He is a diplomat who does not allow diplomacy to swerve him from doing what he believes to be right, and an all-round athlete who can make matters lively for all the youngsters who think they can box and play golf and tennis. He is likewise a strong, vig- orous and entertaining writer, whose touch is sure, and whose books, whether of cowboy life or of the tempestuous times of Cromwell, are eager- ly read from one end of the country to the other. This is the style of man who is going to gather the national handicap in 1904, and when he starts he will kick the landscape into the faces of his competitors in the liveliest fashion. At present he is the national Mr. Dooley, and the whole country shows its deep-seated regard for him when it sings his praises by declaring him to be the real thing in a‘ Mr. Dooley-ooly-ooly-ooly-o0.”” A MATTER FOR THE PEACE CONFERENCE.
