changes. Let the contest once become
doubtful or thegpeople think it doubtful
and there will be interest enough. The
fact that Republicans are not getting ex-
cited over the contest is not to be
taken as evidence that they are any more
tolerant Of Bryan or have modified their
views Of the peril to the country that his
election would bring, 1t is simply ind1-
cative Of confidence on their part that
there is not the slightest danger of his
election, and that therefore there is no
occasion for any Strenuous life.
Another reason that there is less inter-
est than usual is the fact that there was
no contest In either convention for the
nomination. Generally in a Presidential
year the people are stirred up long before
the campaign actually begins by the con
test for the nominations. But this year
the results of both conventions were fore
gone conclusions. This campaign, unlike
most others, has opened without any
preliminary warming up heats,

THE CAMPAIGN.

1t can hardly be denied that up to the
present time there have been no signs of
very marked interest In the Presidential
campaign. Here in Maine, though the
election is only a month off, there has
been but very little speaking, and there are
certainly no symptoms of excitement up
to date. There are various reasons for this
apathy, but the most potent of all OF
them is the conviction which has taken
pretty firm conviction of the public that
President Mckinley Is practically certain
OF reelection. No great amount Of inter-
est can ever be worked up over a contest
the result OF which is a foregone con-
clusion, no matter whether it be a horse
race or an election. There must be doubt
to stimulate interest and enthusiasm.
OF course this condition applies more
fOrcibly to this state than to the country
at large. Here there is not the shadow
of doubt as to the general result. Coca
sionally local office Is in real dispute
and there one will lind some local inter
est. But one can go from one end Of the
state to the other without finding a per-
son who will talk about the general re-
suit Of the election in Maine except in a
languid way. Whether the apathy that
now prevails over the country is to con-
tinue, depends very largely upon whether
the prospect continues as now or

In spite of Mr.. Bryan's explanation Of
his attitude toward the Paris treaty we
feel quite sure that If he had chance
to act over again, in the light OF his
present knowledge, he would act very
differently, assuming that his opposition
to so-called Imperialism is sincere. II
there was any practicable way Of settling
the Philippine question without con-
flicb with the natives it was by an
amendment to the treaty liking the status
OF the islands precisely the same as
Cuba's was liked. Mr.. Bryan's Influence
defeated the adoption OF this way, and
all the excuses and explanations he can
now make will not obscure the fact or
relieve him of the responsibility.
The Portland daily press., 1900-08-13
Bryan LAS ohanged his mind under

Bryan has changed his mind under
pressure, and will tour the ountry DUR
ing the campaign almost as extensively
as he did in 1896. There is no question
but Mr.. Bryan is an eloquent and forcible
speaker, and that he can stir up his crowd
as no other man can. But it is exceed
ingly perilous for presidential candi-
date to talk almost continuously for
three months, Many a presidential
candidate has spoiled his chances by
opening his mouth too much Indeed
there is little doubt that four years ago
Mr.. Bryan contributed good deal to his
own discontinue by too much speaking
The conservative element of the people,
which regard the election of Mr. Bryan
as a menace to our present prosperity,
have every reason to be pleased therefore
with the announcement that he is to
travel and talk. 1t is to be hoped that
ex-Gov. AItgeld can be prevailed upon to
travel and talk with him.

DIR. HAMLIN AND ROBERTS COL
IEGE.
(Boston Herald }

The sudden death of the Rev. Dr.
Cyrus Hamiin, ex-president of Robert
College, Turkey, warrants calling public
attention to the character of the work
which he performed in the East, and the
Indication which that work gives of how
much more can be accomplished in the
way of uplifting mankind by relatively
small outlay of money for educational
purposes than by spending vast sums in
the effort to forcibly govern men. DR..
Hamlin, the principal of a missionary
boys school at Constantinople induced
the late b. Il Robert of New York to
give him the not over large sum of money
needed to found a college in Turkey, in
which modern literature and science,
with the principles Of religion and civil
ization, should be taught. For years past
this college has afforded to the subjects
of the Sultan the educational opportuni-
ties in their own land that before its es-
tablishment they could obtain nowhere
in Turkey. 1t is easy to understand
considering the admitted results that
have followed the use OF this opportunity
why the Sultan for long time refused
to give his approval to the enterprise,
An Englishman Of EiOng experience in
the Balkan peninsula wrote some time
since, in referring to the political develop
ment Of the bulgarian people, that Bull
garian independence and the success
which the people of that country had met
with in maintaining their government,
was due, more than anything else, to the
fact that a number of their leading men
were graduates of Robert College, Con-
sbantinOple. These men had acquired a
knowledge of government methods, and
were thus prepared, when the occasion
was presented, to enbody this knowledge
in practical government work. He ex-
pressed it as his belief that the oppOrtun
tiles afforded in Robert College had more
to do with the political and social regen-
GRAFTON of the people OF what had been
northern Turkey than any other one
cause, and that it was q greater power
for good in this respect than the wishes
of the people themselves OF the armies OF
Russia, as, in the absence OF this apti-
tude, there would have been no native
Of Bulgaria fitted to govern that country
even ii its people had secured the sub
stance of political independence. No
better illustration than this can be given
Of the effect OF q wisely directed expen
diture of money on educational lines in
uplifting an oppressed people.

THE FASTEST TROTTING
LION.

Chicago, August 1l.-Before a slim
crowd this afternoon at the Washington
park race track Cresceus demonstrated
his claim to the title of the fastest trot-
ting stallion in the country by beating
Tommy Britton in straight heats. A
slight rain made the track lightning
fast and In the first heat a local record
was broken, Cresceus Keeling off the mile
in 206%. The next heat was a second

If Comptroller Coler gets the nomina-
ton for Democratic candidate for COVER
nor of New York it will be in spite of the
bitter opposition of Boss Croker, and that
is next to impossible. Coler is thu one
member Of the present administration OF
the city of New York who has refused to
obey the orders of the Boss and mani
tested some honesty and independence.
The rest of them are so many puppets
whose movements are controlled by
strings which Croker holds in his hand.
Such man as Coler the Boss win not
allow to be governor of the state If
he can help it. Even should he get the
nomination Croker would knife him at
the polls, and with the immense number
of voters whom he controls he could in
all probability compass his defeat.

This is a recent description Of Queen
Margherita OF Italy in The King: 'She
is not only acquainted with all the Ian
guages of the continent, but is familiar
with them and enjoys their Hteratures.
She is not only clever, but the most
beautiful Of all the royalties, and rivals
the princess OF Wales In youthful ap-
pearance. She is the queen Of magma
tion-beautlful, graceful and gracious,
with natural dignity that prOclaims its
royalty"
London is thoroughly conservative.
But hot weather can do something to
change old habits as was evident recently
when white duck trousers and black
coats and silk hats were seen in combin-
aJion on PiecadilIy. A drayman created
a sensation by fixing sun bonnet on the
head of his horse. 1t was a new notion.
The papers came out with leaders the
next morning advocating graveIy the
adoption Of the new protector.
Chicago has already registered this year
~, 296 dogs licenses. One of these hangs
from the collar of an old fashioned, big
jawed bull dog who proved his quality
the other day. 1t was in the Hyde Park
region of the city that mad dog came
rushing along the street, frothing at the
mouth and swapping at every body. He
made directly for the bulldog, opened an
attack and in a few minutes was held
firmly in the clutch of the BULLDOG 5
jaws. Officers came along and shot the
mad animal before it had done any harm.

The Russian government has given
permission to its minister at Pekin to
leave the capital for lien Tsin under es-
oort, il he deems it advisable, and has at
the same time warned the Chinese gov
eminent that if his person or that of
any of his retinue is violated Russia
will take dire vengeance. 1t remains
to be seen whether the Russian minister
will go or remain. OF course much will
depend upon his opinion OF the ability
and willingness of the Chinese govern
ment to afford him adequate protection.
He will not go, we may be pretty certain,
unless he believes he VIII go through
safely. Minister Conger- opinion is that
to leave Pekin under a Chinese escort
is almost certain death.

The Philadelphia Press points out that
with the eolored race disfranchised, as it
soon will be, white voter at the South
will have Gwioe the political power Of
a white voter at the North, and thinks
something ought to be done about it.
The Constitution supplies a remedy and
it provides ALSO that Congress shall
apply it. It's language is mandatory.
In case of such an abridgement Of the
suffrage as has taken place at the South
it declares tthat the basis OF representa-
ton shall be reduced" not maybe re-
duced, bnt shall be reduced. 1t would
seem to be a case where Congress really
has no discretion unless it usurps it in
defiance Of the Constitution.
