Present-Day Political Methods.

Any lingering doubt on the part OF
anyone that Senator Ross would not
be candidate to succeed himself, for
the purpose of filling out Morrill's I'M
expired term of two years was dis
sipated by the formal announcement
last week through the st Johnsbury
Caledonian that he is a candidate The
contemporary says that while he has
no thought of making what is called a
fight for the place, yet if elected he will
gratefully accept and he will be glad
Of the support of all his friends who
deem him worthy Of the high honor.
This position is highly dignifed and
creditable to Senator Ross and il is a re-
grettable condition npolitics only that
causes it to be received by the average
voter with smile of intermingled in
credulity and pity Things have come
to such a pass that such announce
ments amount to absolutely nothing
unless supplanted by the hardest and
sometimes the most demeaning kind of
work. The day has passed when the
Office seeks the man. Nowadays, a
candidate, however popular or talent
ed, cannot rest his case with the pe0-
pie; he must hustle for an he is worth.
If man desires an office, he must be-
gin years in advance. lie must take
an active-but not too active-part in
local, county and state politics. He
must work for this man and that who
wants something, oftentimes for men
not his ideals, by any means. He must
open a ledger account with these and
when he comes up himself fail not to
remind them Of their Indebtedness and
appoint them his lieutenants, even as
he once served them. lie must be
good Lord and good devil to every
body and play for popularity BY every
means in his power. lie must neglect
his own business for the sake of max
ing friends whom be inwardly de-
spises. lie must early appreciate that
acquaintanceship and popularity rather
than real worth, are the determining
factors. lie must appear on all pub
lie occasions in order 10 be seen and
known OF the multitude. Instead OF
devoting himself to the pursuit Of
knowledge whereby he might be bet
ter able to serve his people. he must
cater to their individual want. and
tastes at the sacrifice Of his own self
respect. When the time approaches
for the campaign, some years usually
in advance, he must cause it TO be
published that he wants the place in
mind. He must say this not only /

is clear that Gen. Otis is not the MAJ

and honest, without doubt, and ha,
done some things well, but he hai
erred so badly in other ways that he
has lost the confidence of the officers

the country as well. As a civil adj
ministrator, he seems to be in a place
for which he is well fitted, but in try
inc TO direct also all the military tao
tics he has gotten beyond his depth.
He seems to be of a jealous and con
ceited nature, too, unreasonable and
stubborn. Perhaps his greatest error
has been in trying to maintain rigid
press censorship over dispatches filed
at Manila for publication in America
The very idea of such a censorship
smacks too strongly of the Spanish to

The papers that were getting ready
to pitch into the railroads for not max
ing fair rates for the Dewey eelebra-
ton are somewhat disappointed by the
very favorable tariff that has finally
been adopted. The great danger is
that they are so low that the rush will
be simply enormous and the roads will
be unable to handle the crowds salts
factorily. 1t is barely possible that the
companies tested the public temper
just enough in advance to find out that
extortionate rates would cause the big
