Maine was 5000 against 1900 four
years before. But the Republican gam
was only 1000 while the Democratic
loss was 2l.000. The total vote in 1892
was light; it was much smaller on both
SIDES than in any Of the four preceding
elections. The vote in 1883 was nearer
the normal. Comparing 1896 with 1888.
the Republican plurality was 4s.oo0 In
stead of $4,000 But the gain in the Re-
publican vote was only 5000. the DEM
| ocratic loss was q 900 In other words,
z'Ooo Democrats stayed at home.

lc stay -at-homes. fail to stay at home,

show no absolute loss, so far as gen
eral party divisions are concerned
everybody knows the normal Repub-
ilcan majority in Maine is not over H.
900. if indeed 50 high as that.
The extent to which these 1900
stay-at-home Democrats will partici-
pate in the September election, Of
course, Is Uncertain; but it is certain
the Democrats are making more effort
70 get out this vote than they made
four years ago. These $1,000 Maine
Democrats stayed at home on election
day in 1896 because of Bryans attack
on the currency. and of course Bryan
ism signifies the same things in 1900
that it significd In 1898.
Only by making il appear that Bry-
ante secretary Of the treasury would

sition, can these sound money Demo-

prehension could be removed simply by

And it would not seem impertinent
to add by way of conclusion that if
Maine Democrats will vote as they
really believe, regardless of the preju-
dices of party affiliations, the vote for
the Republican ticket, this fall, will
even exceed the abnormal proportions
OF four years ago. 1t appears, however,
that some of the twenty odd thousand
who refrained from voting then are be-
ing subjected to great pressure to return
to the fold. May they have courage to
vote in accordance with the dictates of

Democratic comprehension of the
Constitution is as incomprehensible to-
day as it was forty years ago. Then,
according to their view. its most sacred
attribute was the protection they de-
clared it to afford slaveholding in this

its protecting wing the band Of Phil
ippine insurgents, that rebelled against
this government when they discovered
that we didn't sink the Spanish fleet in
Manila harbor and replace Spanish
authority with our own for the purpose
of allowing them to satisfy their lust
and revenge on the city of Manila and
their tribal vengeance on other occu-
pants Of those islands.

The imperialism with which Mr..

the pledge to give the Filipinos just as
much independence as they can show

Engiand's Stake al Shanahai.

The impression has of late become
general that the landing of troops by
England at Shanghai is not altogether
due to the mere desire to prevent an
immediate uprising among the Chin
csc in that part Of the empire. but
rather to determination to acquire a
vantage point from which to protect
British claims upon and interests in
the great, fertile Yangtse valley. This
purpose too, has been emphasized by
the protests made against it.
Archibald Il. Colquhoun, author of
several eminent works on China, writes
for the Boston Evening Transcript an
article which explains the imperative
need of firm, aggressive stand on the
part of England in that portion of the
Chinese empire if she is to preserve
interests already acquired there and
maintain the prestige absolutely nee
retain her grip upon India. Mr.. Col
quhoun throws little additional light

of the Chinese empire. That territory
seems destined to fall under her sway
when undoubtedly it will be hedged
about by restrictions calculated TO keep
other than Russians from the enjoy
ment of its markets.
England has a trade with China
amounting in gross to nearly quarter
of billion dollars annually. The
greater part Of this she commands
through the Yangtsc valley. OF the
people of this territory the writer says
ter, untainted by the martial influence
of the Manchus. born traders and not
unappreciative Of trades advantages.
Of the territory itself he writes (and

not wonder England is willing to go
great lengths and take risks to pro-
tect the foothold she already has Sc

cent waterway Of the Nangtse COM
