il was decided to hold no session until to-

caucus proved to be anything but
a love feast, and resulted in
several surprises. When the meeting was

delegates were much divided in sentiment,

were elected without much trouble, James

been expected, would be the chairman,

POLITICAL COMMENT.
The Real Importance ofthe Independent
Movement.
Atlantic Monthly.


The independent movement, SO
called, that unorganized, unled protest
of the spirit against the strict construc-
ton of the term politics, IS of compare
lively little Importance as mere pos
sible vessel for holding the balance of
power between parties its real impOr-
tance lies in the assertion that one
NAV be so greatly interested In politics
as to throw away all his chances OF
place, so thorough going politician
as absolutely to disregard and hold
cheap as dirt the rewards of politics.
In brief, there is evidence of an in
creasing number of men who take the
liveliest possible interest in politics,
not as a game, not for the sake of in
creasing their own power, nor for Sc
curing places either for themselves or
their friends, but because, as they have
clearer consciousness of their political
nature,-and the whole movement OF
American history has been toward the
development of this consciousness
they take keener interest in politics
as an element in large problems.
Time was when there was a more
marked trace of bOyishness in the ma
tionaI conception of politics. Before
Jackson, the old traditions made
statesmen a privileged class, and pol
itics was dignified profession. In
Jackson's time, there was almost as
mnch of real addition to the political
mass in America as there was to the
English political world when the bars
were formally let down and the right
of suffrage extended. From JacksOn's
time to LincOln's, politics was the ma
tional game. Partly from the simple
ity of social conditions, which offered
fewer distractions than now, but more
from the inherent force of the Ameri
can character which found herein its
proper outlet, politics was the theatre,
the opera, the base ball game, the in
tellectual gymnasium, almost the
church, of the people, and man suf-
fered two great interests to divide his
life,-his business, that is, and his pol
itics.
1t is quite true that this vigorous at
tcntion to concrete politics has an i'm
mense charm for many minds, and that
there is apparently an undlmInlshed
zeal for racket and rocket but we
contend that the war with the problems
which it brought to the front and the
rapid maturing of the country in many
directions have cOnspired to induce an
attitude towards politics which is not
boyish, but very manly, that with wi
der interests in life and with greater
self confidence as people, we are not
trusting all our fortunes to the keeping
of a few men, whose taste and training
lead them into official life, any more
than we give over our religious con-
victiOns to the custody of clerical
guardians, but are using our well-earn
ed political freedom with greater fear
lessness and more intelligent appre-
hension of means and ends.

The Real Question.

The question which the election oil
this year submits to the country is not
Il question of protection and free trade,
bnt of the degree of protection. One
platform declares distinctly that, rath
er than diminish the surplus by mod
Grating the tariff, the national tax on
whiskey should be repealed. The
other platform proposes to cheaper the
necessaries of life, to stimulate indus
try, and to extend trade by freeing the
raw materials of manufacture. 1t as
sumes that the prosperity of the coun-
try is not due to high taxes in the form
of an immoderate tariff, but to the su-
perior skill, enterprise, thrift, and en-
ergy OF the people. By freeing lumber
it cheapens houses for the farmers. By
freeing salt it supplies cheaply uni
versal necessity, and disturbs grasp
ing monopoly. By freeing wool it
cheapens clothes for everybody. Six
hundred million pounds of wool are re-
quired to make our clothes in this
country, and we do not raise half that
quantity. More than S44 200, 0OQ
worth of WOODEN goods are imported
annually, at an average duty of So per
cent. Free import of wool would per-
NIT the manufacture of these goods in
this country so cheaply that the import
would cease. The demand for labor
would increase enormously, with con-
sequent increase of wages and extern
sion of trade, with cheaper clothing
and carpets.

Faith and Works.

A story about pious little boy who
tried to walk on the water in the bath
tub recalls another of an equally pious
little girl. She was eight years old
and lived in the country; she had
started one day rather late for school
with another little girl about her own
age. On their way they caught a
glimpse of a clock dial through an open
door it lacked five minutes of 8.
ooh, dearw exclaimed the pious lit
tie girl, it's five minutes to 8, and
we'll be late to school,"
"Pm afraid we will"
Jennie" said the pious little girl,
impressively,. "Pll tell you what we
must do; we'll kneel right down here
and pray that we won't be late"

Rev. DIR. R. $. storrs, Position.

From O. Letter TO the N6LD 4 DIRK I7ledpendent.
My present political position can be
no matter of special concern to any one
but myself, but it may be fairly enough
summed up in this way : | distinctly
do not agree with the Chicago platform
in important particulars. L do not go
so far as Mr.. Greeley did in 1852,
when he said in substance, as | remem-
Der, " we accept the candidate (Gen.
Scott but spit on the platform" There
is no occasion now for any expression
of contemptuous disdain. But the
platform certainly appears to me de-
fective and erroneous, quite out of line
with the best previous historical utter
ances in the name of the party. To an
outsider, it looks as if over Ingenious
~ constructed, to antagOnize the com
peting party, and attract more numer
GUS votes. At the same time practical
results are the important things in pol
itics; and, amid the currents and
counter currents of trade and politics
swirling around us, remembering that
platforms exercise no despOtic control
over the intelligent life of party,
am still earnestly disposed to feel that
the national welfare will be more like
" to be advanced, on the lines which
commend themselves to me, if the re-
publican candidates shall be elected in
November. To stand thus, in indie
pendence of ones own party, while not
Joining the other, is situation which
has disadvantages but it has also it's
own freedom of outlook, it's pleasant
sense of relationship to other minds
holding substantially a similar posi-
ton, perhaps its own opportunities of
good influence.
L am quite content with it, while
holding my mind still open for further
light, of which " the woods" give no
end of chances.

THE FAMINE IN ASIA MINOR.
The Worst is Over.


Readers of the CaledOnian, who con-
tributed so literally last winter for the
sufferers by famine in Turkey, will
welcome the news that the famine is
practically at an end. The wheat and
barley harvest in the famine stricken
portions of Asia Minor has begun, and
the American board will ask for moth
ing farther. But many sufferers have
died from starvation and the distress of
the survivors has been extreme. In
the forthcoming number of the Mis-
sionary Herald will be the following
narrowing account of scenes as they
appeared to an eyewitness =
Mr.. Marden, under date of June 2,
says that on the Cilician plain, about
Adana, the harvesting of barley and
wheat was then going on. "The poor
er people follow the reapers and CLEAN
the grain that is left on the ground.
There is comparatively no beggary or
suffering from hunger in this region.
The keenest suffering is in the villages
north and west of Marash, where it will
be vet month and half before the
grain crop is harvested" Of the dis
tress of the people in the region last
named, as it was in the latter part of
April and early in May, Mr.. Marden
sends an account which we give here,
that it may be known what experiences
our missionaries have passed through !:
"Although there had been heavy
rains and the grain crop was hopeful,
and work in the vineyards and fields
had opened, yet labor was so cheap and
food so high that many men would eat
the entire amount of bread they could
purchase with their daily wages, leav-
ing nothing for their families. The
great mass of the people are small me-
chanics, weavers and shop-keepers,
and there was yet no revival of their
business.
"When l arrived at Marash from
Mersin, the hungry multitudes began
to gather round my door. There was
the same uncertain step, pinched face,
sunken and CLASSY eyes,-sure proof
that hunger is gnawing out the very
life. | had in hand few liras from
private sources which l could use at
my own discretion. l spent week in
examining, as far as possible, individ-
ual cases, anu eSpoCldlly Iuose poof,
starving fellows that came dragging
in from the village in the Taurus, and
when / was satisfied that the families
at home were actually starving l gave
a ticket for peck of wheat. Many a
poor creature would spring forward to
throw his arms around me and try to
kiss my hand in gratitude for the new
lease of life to him and his loved ones.
then went to Yarpoor. l had given
relief twice to this place before, but it
was now worse off than ever. Almost
the entire population we're living upon
boiled thistles, with nothing else what
ever; and the Moslem villages on the
plain about the town were in the same
condition. In one village trustworthy
reports claimed that 60 families were
in bed, too weak to rise for lack of
food. In another village the starving
were trying to keep soul and body to-
gether with bread made of mixture
of earth and cracked wheat, but the
people were wandering about over the
mountains everywhere in search of
thistles, or browsing the bushes like
goats"

A company was formed in Pittsburg,
Pa, Saturday, with capital stock OF
81 200. 700, the object being to open a

tract of land has been purchased COW

expert who assayed the ore says it will
yield from 25 to 81 per cent tin, which
is the largest in the world. The dis
tributing point will be Ell Paso, and
from there pig tin will be shipped to

He Liked Exercise.
Troy Times.

Troy Times.
A good story is related at the ex-
pense of hotel proprietor at Tacoma
Washington territory. A stranger who
had been stopping at the house for a
few weeks, asked the proprietor how
far it was to Mt. Rainier, which ap-
peared to be only couple of miles
distant, although in fact it was nearly
100. The proprietor winked at the
bystanders, and said that perhaps il
was mile away. The boarder said
he believed he would walk out to it fol-
exercise. The landlord encouraged
the "tenderfoot," who, after borrow
ing the proprietor's fine field glass i'm
mediately started. The joke was toe
rich for the hotel man to keep, and he
treated all hands. But the pedestrian
did not return. The landlord at last
became suspicious and found that the
valise which the "tenderfoot" had left
was filled with brickbats, and that he
had carried off IL towels and every
thing else that he could get into his
pockets. Besides this he owed a two
weeks board bill.
