What hopes the democrats have of car
rying Ohio seem to be based upon the
expectation that the German vote will 90
over TO them on the issue of
imperialism. But Imperialism is not
really an issue, fer neither party con-
osdes that 1t is in favor of Imperialism.
And even If the Germans were inclined to
vote with the Democrats because they pre-
fer the position of that party ON the
Philippine question, they would likely
be restrained in some degree at least
by the attitude of the Democrats toward
the currency. The Germans are doubtless
opposed to an imperialistic policy or any
thing that squints toward 1t, but they
are just as strongly opposed to anything
that smacks of debassment of the cur
rency. Mclean, to be sure, is trying iiard
to keep this question out of the campaign
but the platform raised it too unmistak-
ably for that We should ray that the
probability was that the German vote
would not be found solid for one eide or
the other; that it would be likely to split
up. some going to the Democrats because
they prefer their attitude toward the
Philippine question, and some going to
tho Republicans because they prefer their
attitude on the currency.

SARDINE GAMERS.
Their Is Trouble In the Factories about
Eastport.

The first difficulty this season in the
sardine canning factories at Eastport be-.
gan this week, and as result about SOC
employees are now idle. The two large
canning plants on Sea street, controlled
by the Standard sardine company, known
rs syndicate No. 2, closed for an indeh-
mite period-probably for the year.
They were the Julius Wolff plant form
erly conducted by J. ID. Young, and the
Lewis ID. CLARK 81 Sons new factory
near, which was leased early In the year
by the above syndicate for is months
One of the reasons for closing the plant:
Is the present scarcity of large-sizsd herr.
ing caught In the neighboring weIrs.
which are brought to Eastport and put
mp In cans.
The principal reason is said to be be-
cause the promoters OF syndicate No. {
introduced the much talked OF machine
made cams into these factories end Il q
ing in them.

port. the big plants of the American can
company are located where syndicate Nc.
has begun TO manufacture the French
patented key-rollips topoans for use In
their many canning plants along the
eastern Maine ooaet.
The nelp in ths factories have refused
TO work on these new cans, aud as a re.
suit 10 is thought several more plants nj
syndicate No. : will be closed for the
season.
There Is some talk of consolidation
of the SEA- Coast packing company, known
as syndicate No. /, and the STANDARD
sardine company, which il No 2, and Ii
this takes place will give them control Of
the sardine pack of Maine.

Pro badly nothing short Of an exploit
&c laration that he will not ac-s pt q
nomination under any circuu stances win
put an end to the discussion of Adm iral
Dewey rs q Presidential possibility.
Whatever the Admiral has said on tbs
subject has been strongly oppol ell to per-
hitting his name to be used, hut he hes
not yet closed the door with slam and
bang; and until he does politicians and
newspapers viii speculate on what would
happen II he should enter the race. SEN :
ator Hanna can't stop them aud his
efforts to do so are more likely than not
to stimulate them. We imagine that
under existing conditions Dewey could
not be induced to accept a nomination.
He would not voluntarily enter the Held,
or allow himself to be entered, as a rival
Of either President Mckinley or Mr..
Bryan. But In the vastly improbable
event Of Mr.. MoKinley's changing his
attitude toward a denomination, or the
Republicans changing their attitude
toward him he might be induced to ac-
cept a nomination that came W ithout
effort on his part. We do not believe for
various reasons that he would accept q
Democratic nomination under any condi.
tions. As the outlook is today he Ia like.
ly to remain enough Of q Presidential
possibility to keep alive discussion, but
not enough OF one to enlist the active
support of either the political leaders or
the masses of the people II, however. he
should distinctly consent to the use of his
name things might be very different. A
war hero is always attractive to the vast
majority of people, even If he has no
special qualifications for civil office or
even no qualifications at ell. but Dewey
would have the advantage of being war
hero who had demonstrated that he had
some very distinct and important quallf-
cations.

lie brief bulletins Of the yacht race
show that tho contest was very sharp and
close from start to finish, and that the
two boats are more evenly matched than
any two that have sailed previously for
enc cup. The wind appears to have been
very uneven, at times being fairly strong
and then dying out to an almost com
plete calm. Doubtless luck and skilIful
management had very much to do with
yesterdays race. Each boat appears to
have got the better of its rival at times
simply because 1t happened to catch a
little wind which the other did not get
Very likely too the close pro ximity of
the excursion beats interfeIed with the
racers, and accounted somewhat for their
repeated changes of relative positions
Both boats were sailed evidently with
the greatest skill, and the most made OF
every puff of wind. The slight lead Of
the Shamrock al the finish does not show
that she is the better boat. nor does II
give much basis for an tioipating that she
will lead in the races yet to GENE. II

The visit of the Filipino emissaries to
Gen. Otis appears to have resulted In abb
solutely nothing. Apparently the object
of 1t was to get some sort of rec
ogniiion for their government by Gen.
Otis, but of course this was impossible.
They appear to have had no definite
proposition to make, looking TO sur
render. OF course there is room for sus-
picion that one object of their visit was
to get information about our troops and
our Intentions; but they could hardly have
learned anything to do them much good
or MS much harm. Indeed, friendly
natives inside our lines probably keep
Aguinaldo pretty well posted all the time
on what is going ON there.

The club was again unanimous, ex-

EARLDoM HINGES ON A BIRTB

Elhh llljOh ANNE1SA) Wv ~ @AAsA -
Gossip about the succession TO the
Earldom of Strafford is exciting the
keenest curiosity in society, and it
greatly interests the Queen herself,
who entertained high regard for the
late Earl.
Fraacis Byng, tine exclergyman nd
heir presumptive, is so chagri ned at
the unexpected declaration of the wild
owed Countess that she has reason to
anticipate the birth of an heir, that he
is said to have threatened legal pro-
ceedings, which, under the circum-
stances, would undoubtedly be OF the
most sensational description.
This threat involves such serious
considerations that it is presumed tha!
Byng only makes ii in the first husn OF
his anger and desperation at the possl
bilitv of the title and estates, on the
succession to which he had confidently
calculated. being snatched from his
grasp. in addition to spending his own
partrlmony. :,
MIR, Byng's debts were once paid by
his father TO the amount of S4O0,OOO,
and he has been altogether an lmproVl-
dent map, with his son and heir earn,
inc q living in an Office in London, ana
his daughter employed in dressmaK'
ing establishment.
But it is now freely stated tnat tne
relations between the Ear and the
Conntess of Strafford were not happy.
The Earl, who was q great mlser,
though very wealthy himself, marrieu
Mrs Colgate, it seems, for her fortune,
and on finding afterwards that the ouiK
of it had been settled on her daughter
be was greatly upset. Owing TO a ols
