TILLMAN, of South Carolina, nominates
Campbell for the Presidential candidate of the
Democracy, on condition that he carries Ohio
this year. This condition is a somewhat i'm
portant one. Doubtless Governor Campbell
would be glad to do his best to fulfill 1t, if
the malaria would let him. But just at pres
ent he is not investing very largely in the
conditional Presidential boom thus kindly
rendered him from South Carolina.

THE condemnation of VIM. r. Morrison
as ga free trader and a failure by the Chi
cago Herald, is instructive. As that journal
is a rank free trade organ, it appears to
blame the horizontal tariff reducer mainly
for his failure. But its demonstration that
free trade and failure go together should in
duce it to mend its own ways.

THE objection of the Parisians to. 'Io-

The Paris musical taste should not be gov

words, to let international quarrels obtrude
themselves into the realms of art is a piece
of popular idiocy.

If James G. Blaine's health will permit his
candidacy and if he does not absolutely for
bid the use of his name he will have the
delegates of the Empire State without a con-
test. The convention which nominated an
administration candidate to head its ticket
could not be said to be unfriendly to Benja-
min Harrison. But the enthusiasm for
Blaine was all powerful.

when even the school of philosophy is tax
ing q vacation. Prof. Felix Adler made a
wise choice when he located his Summer
School of Applied Ethics in Plymouth. To
spend month beside the sea is a privilege
anywhere. To spend it in the neighborhood
of Plymouth Rock is an inspiration and an
unfit to any thoughtful mind. And then, in
addition to spend it with Prof. Adler and
his company of lecturers is to have a triple
beatitude hey yond anybody's real deserts.
When l was in Plymouth dozen years
ago, Plymouth Rock was in the middle of the
town in front of Pilgrim Hall. The position
was as incongruous as Libby Prison in Chi
cago. 1t seems that in 1776 they had big
celebration in Plymouth, and they con
ceived the idea that it would be great
scheme to get Plymouth Rock up into
the public square and plant a liberty
mole upon it. So down went men
and horses and crowbars after the
Rock. But the rock unfortunately broke,
and what they brought away was only a big
fragment This they finally set in the ground
and held their jubilation over it, and ne
elected to carry it back again. The tourist,
accordingly, who wanted to see where the
pilgrims landed saw rough stone beside the
village street nowhere near the water.
They have bettered that now The two
pieces have been put together. The rock is
where it lay when some big glacier dropped
it on the shore of Plymouth Bay before man
made his appearance upon the planet. There
has never been any doubt about the identity
of Plymouth Rock. Mrs. Hemans was mis-
taken when she described the breaking
waves as dashing high on "stern and rock
bound coast" Plymouth Rock is the only
big stone in Plymouth harbor, and it isn't
such a very big stone, either. However, here
again bigness and greatness are not by any
means the same thing.
There is hideous stone canopy over Ply
mouth Rock. And on either side are ugly
wharves and unsightly sheds and shops. 1t
is pity that SO venerable and significant a
relic should not have more worthy setting
However, it is better cared for than our
