One of the most intelligent and in
teresting of the letters from Maine
soldiers in the Philippines was pub
lished in the Portland Advertiser. this
week. The writer is Portland boy
who enlisted in the First Maine for the
war against Spain, and later joined the
engineer corps and went to the Philip
pines. 1t appears that the men are
getting along quite comfortably. in
spite Of the rainy season. They are
well fed and cared for. The regular
ration. including frequent issues of
vegetables and fresh meat. is enough
to surprise veteran of the Civil War
The hospital service is fine. There is
considerable sickness. of course. but it
does not appear to be nearly so bad as
il was in the camps at Chattanooga
and other places last year Evidently
the climate of LuZon is comparatively
healthy for the tropics, even in the
rainy season. The sickness and death
records compare very favorably indeed
with those of Cuba. Much of this is
due, doubtless, to good care. and the
medical and commissary departments
have learned a thing or two from ex-
perience. As regards the natives. the |
soldier has received a rather favorable |
impression from those he has seen. |
and he thinks there is promising ma
terial under American methods, eS- |
pecially in the younger generation. |
He thinks that the experiments in |
municipal selfgovernment are going |
to work Well. and that the in |
surrection will be suppressed in |
short order on the return of the |
dry season. His opinion Of the insur-
rection is noticeable. that it is not a
people fighting for liberty, but a crowd |
of malcontents striving for selfish
ends.

Now that the summer visitors are
beginning To 60 away the people of
Bar Harhor are realizing that this has
not been the successful one anticipated
and r. the practical business man the
reason is self-apparent. There is not
sufficient attraction at the resort to
draw the class of people desired. The
old days Of Bar Harbor when it was
one continual round Of gaiety and
pleasure. and money flowed into the
till and pockets of the natives. con-
tlnue To be in retrospect. Each year
the most sanguine hope that the old
times are returning but they never will
until something is done to bring the
young people here. The New York
papers delight in calling Bar Harbor a
sanitarium and such it is getting to be.
Every fall rumOrs of casino are heard
but always to prove groundless. This
fall, however, some of the most enter
prising Of the business men Of Bar
Harbor and several public-s spirited
summer visitors have evolved a plan
which promises to give Bar Harbor not
only a first-class casino but race
track as we'll.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
THE ISSUE FOR 1900.
Atlanta Constitution.


The views of Senator ]. X. Jones,
chairman OF the National Democratic
Executive Committee, printed else
where, are simply in the line of nation
al development.
The great issue before the people OF
any country Is that of the greatest in
ternal Importance. In the shrinkage OF
values which have taken place In this
country during the last twenty years,
the people have recognized the hand of
adverse financial legislation. Accord
ing as the currents OF money supply
were cut OFF, paralysis spread into every
line OF business. first attacking the pro-
ductive industries and the farm, and
finally destroying the prosperity of CT
ties and large financial institutions.
Spurts of prosperity have come TO the
country between times. owing to the
wonderfully recuperative character OF
our country, but still, in spite OF album
dant nature and Intense Individual In
dustry, no permanent prosperity has
come.
The political parties which started
out handicapped by the leadership OF
Wall street on both sides have finally
taken position as 10 what the remedy
must be. The Republican party, after
period OF lodging under the cover OF
International agreement. has finally
III Iltcu away INTO the extreme gold
standard policy. The Democratic par
ty, having effectuslly shaken off the
old men OF the sea-" who were weight
ing 1t down. has declared for a whole
sale and thorough financial reform.
which can only be brought about by a
return to the money of the constitu-
ton. Notwithstanding the intrench-
ranks it succeeded In casting them out
ments Of the money power within it's
and polling nearly 100000 votes.
That such a fight as this should have
been waged with the result OF attract
ing so large a vote, is evidence OF too
strong position TO be surrendered at
the bidding of the enemy. or in con-
sequence OF bogus issues set up by the
enemy. and Is not for one moment TO
be considered. The Democratic party, in
national convention, has declared its
faith. which has been Endorsed by =
larger vote than was ever cast for a
Democratic issue before When the peo-
pie meet again In national convention
they viii meet with fun knowledge oc
their strength and Of the Righteousness s
OF their cause. and 1t Is safe to say tina.
they will meet the enemy IN the cam
paign of 1900 on the same ground upon
which they Were met in 1885,, and thar
they will win.
Chairman Jones. therefore in maxine
the statement whlcn he does: does no;
need the gift of prophecy for so declaI-
ing. because the Issues are now so fixed
as to be beyond the i,ower Of any man
to change them.
