rivals Mr.. Roosevelt in predicting that
the money question will be the chief
one. But it is amusing to note that
each Of these gentlemen, one a Repub-
lican and the other a Democrat are
equally emphatic in predicting that his
party alone will announce and stand for
the true financial policy, and that the
other party is bound to declare and do
battle for the policy of error and finan-
cial ruin. If both are right, then each
is wrong. They are right in their as
sumption concerning the promised pre-
dominance of the money question, but
it remains to be seen whether either Of
them is warranted in charging that the
party of the other will go wrong on that
question. The indications are that
there will be sail trimming to meet the
wishes of the greater number Of people
and the broadest public conviction upon
the financial policy of the nation.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Sociology is a method of investiga-
ton and ought therefore to rank as a
science. But as written and talked of
in these days by a host of scribblers
and would-be reformers, it is anything
but method. 1t is rather treated as
something concrete and rigid, that is to
be applied to the ills of society like
plaster to the back.
The Sultan Of Turkey has yielded and
given his consent for more dispatch
boats of the Powers to pass the OAR
danelles This, it is thought, puts an
end to speculations as to war in the
East. 1t may do so, but we doubt it.
The increase of the armed vessels will
insure the safety of foreigners in Con-
stantinople, but that it means that the
Porte will cease his prosecutions of
Christians in the provinces we do not
believe. He will not withhold his hand
nor check the Kurds until compelled to
do so by Intervention of the great ma
tions of Europe.
On the 10th of next month the Oak
land Home Exposition will open. There
is full promise of its success. We be-
lieve the idea to be an excellent one,
and that it could be carried out in Sac
ramento with great good as the re-
suit. How would it do for the Chamber
of Commerce to send a committee to
Oakland to take notes of the exposition
and report upon the whole subject?
The attitude of the League of Ameri-
can Wheelmen commends that organi-
cation to the people. 1t is implacably
opposed to all gambling in racing by
its members and clubs under its juris-
diction. 1t proposes to keep cycling
within genteel lines, and make the
wheelmen of the country proud of their
clubs. The recent action of the League
in suspending Murphy, Titus and
Cabanne for life for crooked work in
speed contest will still further COM
mend the organization to decent people
1t opposes Sunday racing, and with
rare exceptions forbids wheel contests
of any order on that day. 1t will not
allow any manner of gambling under
its banner and requires all its mem
bers in competing for prizes to refuse
purses and bars professional racers
from it's organization. The league is
thus distinctly arraigning itself on the
side of decency and gentility and con-
tributing much to popularize wheeling
sport that is manly, fair, open and not
tainted by the spirit of gaming. 1t is
worthy of all praise for this fine stand
against the prostitution of an athletic
sport Indeed, its position is one on
the side of morality, and must have
decided influence for good upon young
men
