FARE OF The COMMONWEALTH"
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER is. 1899.
Gov. wolcott will go to Washington
to welcome Admiral Dewey. He is
chary of the Tammany show.
There won't be any more talk about
the quality of Ollie Belmont's democ-
racy or his party standing. Now that
he is credited with contributing $4,000
10 the campaign fund, he can have any
thing that money can buy.
Trouble begins for Mayor Dodge to-
night, when the city council reassem-
bles to wrestle with the old familiar
questions and one or two new ones
There are other things besides the poor
that we have always with us.
September has brought fine weather
for outdoor life, and glance at the
clubs and highways shows that it is
appreciated. Golf and the bicycle have
their devotees, of course, but it is many
year since horseback riding has been
so popular.
Maine comes up smiling with pros
perity. There has been a surprising in
crease in savings bank deposits in a
year. the farmers report a successful
season and the summer hotel business
promises to break the record. 1t is not
a good year for democratic congress
sonal candidates in Maine-or else
where.
Delaware and New Jersey will OBJ
serve that in his Chicago speech, Mr..
Bryan excluded them from the list of
democratic states. He haughtily dis
owns them with their trust breeding
laws which are so profitable as revenue
producers. Of course. if he had caught
their electoral votes in 1896. he would
feel differently towards them.
What the multltudas of blacks in Bri-
fish South Africa would do in the event
of a Boer war is wholly a matter of
speculation, The vast preponderance
Of blacks over whites in Cape Colony
Natal and Rhodesia is accounted a
natives might be expected to make
quite as much trouble for the Beers
who have treated them even more rig
orously than the British
If Gen. Otis has organized a native
police with Filipino chief in Manila, ii
must be assumed that friendly and
trustworth natives are more numerous
than some of the correspondents have
reported. 1t is Impossible to suppose
that SO powerful a weapon would be
paced in the hands of the Filipinos
unless Gen. Otis had the most absolute
and perfect confidence in their fidelity
ana soOd behavior
This week Boston will have the dem.
ocratic state convention for tame anC
passing diversion, but it will rely on tn,
international Congregational council
for steady delight and instruction. TIL,
Williams-B Bryan demonstration o
Thursday viii be entirely overshadowe,
by the hundreds OF delegates that com
from England, Australia Canada, In
Ola and other distant lands to reney
associations with Plymouth rock.
Not even the reported discovery o
god in the Isle of Man is likely t
prove more remunerative to the native
than the boom contributed by Hal
Gaines novels Real estate values +
the chief town are said to have bee
doubled IN ten years, and the astonish
ing influx of summer tourists has dis
tributed unwonted wealth among tn
people. The novelist himself has show
confidence in his newly discovere
country by investing literally there.
October will be red-letter month 70
New England colleges, for four Of Their

Wellesley win begin the work Oct. ;
and then Amherst, Brown and Val
will follow in order, completing the Ger
emonies on Oct 10. President MeKin
ley can take them all in if he is so dis
posed. There is certain to be notabl
