AT one time when Lord Rosebery was
visiting relatives in Dumferline he was
one of a house party who gave a number
of amateur performances, says the Phila-
delphia Press Whyte- Melville, author of
The Gladiators," was another member of
the party, and also something of an actor.
Indeed Lord Rosebery used never to lose
an opportunity to take part in private
theatrlcals. For many years Mr. Melville
has entertained his friends with stories
of the plays they put on during his stay
with the premier

up considerably to the part, and he could
feel the paint trickling down to the floor
from his limbs in great drops But he
was not prepared for the remark which
greeted him from the front row at the

TO relieve the distress of the lighthouse
keeper on Seven-Foot Knoll out in Ches-
apeake bay. News had come to the city
editor that food in the lighthouse was ex-

the boat and started over the ice When
he reached the lighthouse he was warmly
greeted.

Mr.. Dorr thought that hunger had made

written to Secretary Gage, says about the
I Cape Nome district in Alaska is true. the
/ government ought TO take steps at once
/ to get the people who are there to aban-
don the place while there is a chance

1900 people there now and hundreds are
arriving almost daily. The gold bear

more than 900 or LOO men Most of
those who are there are already on the

chance for them 70 earn anything. Small

among them and cold' weather is not far

population of the place is living in tents.

can be built.

glad to leave if they had the means to do
so. If the government were to offer them

would accept it.

A CLEAN CAMPAIGN.

1t must be d source of qualification to
all Americans, without distinction of par
ty, to know that the campaign now on
will be a clean one, in d personal sense.
No breath of scandal or suspicion touches
either of the candidates. Neither has
been connected with any questionable
transaction, and the private life of each
has been spotless. Messrs. Bryan and
Mckinley have walked uprightly before
and among their felow-men, and by the
rectitude of their lives have deserved and
received the unqualified respect of persons
of all parties. And the same is true of
their running mates. Both of the leaders
too, are consistent churchmen Mr. Bryan
is a Presbyterian and Mr.. Mckinley
Methodist and each is devout worship
per. With men of such clean hands and
| records at the head of the tickets, there
can be no assailing of their private char
acter. The people will not permit of
campaign of Islander and calumny.
Ones memory needs not to run a very
great way back. however. 10 recall cam
paigns in which mud-slinging was one of
the chief features. and where, too some
candidates were not invulnerabie in their
private lives. The scandals in high places
that followed the War of Secession-the
Credit Mobilier, the Star Routes, the Post
Fratlerships, and others-have not been
forgotten. Both before and since that war
there were instances, in which lapses from
correct morals were charged against the
rect morals were charged against che
candidates. And the campaigns of those
days were pitched upon a relatively low
plane. Happily however, those days are
behind us, and will never come again
The time is past when a man whose
private life can be questioned against
whom there is ground for suspicion can
be nominated for President of the United
States with any hope of success. High
character has become an absolute essen
tial in the man who hopes to be the
chief executive of this country.
The objections that are to be brought
against Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Mckinley
are political, purely. They differ radical
ly with respect 90 public policy, and upon
that difference must appeals 10 the voters
be based. There is no flaw in the char
aeter of either which may be used as an
argument against him. The honesty and
integrity of each is unQuestioned. and of
their high purposes there can be no rea-
sonable doubt. with clean candidates we
shall have n clean campaign. to the very
great pleasure of the public.
