Governor Allen Of Porto Rico has just
made tour Of that island with a view
Of ascertaining the condition of the in
habita1ts and discovering the best way
TO advance their interests. The gloomy
reports brought back by Ex-Governor
Pattison Of Pennsylvania are not borne
out by the governors observations.
There is much destitution IN the Island,
but no more than has been the rule. The
foundation Of the trouble seems to be lack
OF ambition and Iaziness. The soil Is
capable or bearing three crops a year,
but the people are too indolent to culti-
vate it, preferring to sit round and walt
for government aid There Is no anti
American sentiment in the interior, that
being confined almost entirely to San
Juan, where the majority OF the popula-
tion are Spanish. The people Of the is
land Governor Allen found ID be exceed
ingly hospitable and well disposed, but
they need stimulating. Unless govern
ment aid is given discreetly It viii do
them more harm than good, by minister

dinaTy lack Of the spectacular this year
indicates perhaps only that this tendency
Is stronger now than ever before. For
some time after the national con-
Tention there was undoubtedly mush
apathy, due to the cause We have before
specified, but we doubt II there is today
any less interest than IN former cam
paigns, though there are probably less
striking manifestations Of It. The surest
test OF real interest is to be found IN the
number Of votes thrown, and though
tnat cannot be applied fully until cleo
ton DAY, the registration furnishes a
means Of applying It IN part. Now the
registration in the large cities has been
phenomenal in its proportions. The
voters have turned out in unprecedented
numbers both in New York and Chicago
to qualify themselves to vote on the sixth
day OF November. This is symp-
tom Of great interest in the
result, and goes far to refute the
inference which have been drawn from
the lack OF shouting and Of spectacular
displays that the people are apathetic.
Indeed. considering the fact that the re-
suit Of the elsction IS generally accepted
as almost a toregone conclusion, ths In
beres5 disclosed by the registration may
fairly be regarded as extraordinary.
As to the outcome Oh election day,
there does not seem to bs much doubt.
Ne have yet to I'M a journal or an in
diVidual who can lay any claim to i'm
partiality that predicts any other result
than the triumphant election OF AIcKin-
ley. OF course the leaders Of the Bryan
party do not publicly admit defeat. No
leader, either OF a military or a political
army, can be expected to DO that In
deed, some Of them make loud claims OF
victory. But their talk about bribery
and corruption, about big campaign
funds, about coercion by the manufac-
turers and business men is all symp-
tomatio Of apprehension Of defeat. If
Mr.. Bryan were confident Of his election
on November sixth he would not be in
duIging now in jeremiads on bribery
and corruption. He would not be pre-
pairing advance explanations OF what he
did not think was likely to occur. Un-
less all signs are misleading, Mr Bryan
has been losing ground from the time
that he started on his speechmaking tour,
and the reason is that by making him.
self prominent he has made the campaign
in effect a repetition Of the campaign Of
1895. His prominence keeps constantly
before the minds Of the people all the
doctrines Of the Chicago platform. Bry-
anism has become the issus, and that
has stirred up all the conservative, law
abiding and thrifty elements of the com
munity and banded them together almost
as closely as four years age. We believe
that Mr.. Bryan would have stood a
much better chance Of election had be
kept himself as much as possible out OF
the sight and out Of the minds Of the
people. His appearances have been so
many signals Of danger, and which have
reused the people as nothing else could.

PROGRESS OF THE CAmPAIGN.

The presidential election takes place
three weeks from today, and the inter-
vening period win be one Of turmoil and
excitement. Into the debatable states
the political orators will swarm, and no
phase OF the contest win be permitted to
escape the voters attention. We question
if they will make many converts-that
is change many votes from one side to
the Other-but they will stir up the
people so that they Will turn out on cleo
tion day. 1t is altogether probable that
before this time the great majority of
the voters have made up their minds as
to Whas ticket to vote, but there may be
some Indifference yet to be removed or
changed into active interest. SO far as
outward manifestations Of interest are
concerned the campaign has been rather
Rpathetic, This has been due in part to
the fact that there was no contest over
che nominations. Ordinarily the public
is stirred up long before the national
conventions meet, 50 that when the cam
paign begins there is already an active

No Impetus had been acquired by the
preliminary campaign for the nomina-
tions, for there had really been none.
Another explanation Of the seeming
apathy is the absence OF the spectacular.
Bands Of music, tOrohlight PROFESSIONS,
uniformed clubs with banners have been
much less in evidence in this campaign
than in many Of those that have preced-
ID, and as these are the things that are
likely to make the most impression upon
the senses the absence OF them has not
1nnaturally been construed as evidence
Of apathy. 1t is question, though, II

THE CHINESE PROBLEM.

10 the Editor Of the Press;
The root OF present Ills which exist in
the empire Of China may be tracked back
to the causes which produced the crisis
eliminating in the Crimean war. 10 years
ago. Commeroialism was the chief
motive force,
The plans and work Of Russia in Asia
during the past 40 years-a sort OF ab-
normal Including the great
Siberian railway now about completed,
are chiefly the result OF the restrictions
imposed on Russia by the terms OF the
treaty Of the great powers in supposed
settlement Of that war.
That treaty united the powers against
Russia on certain policies, and for COM
meroiaI purposes as the event has proved.
Incidentally Turkey appeared to be the
chief beneficiary. OF conrse the United
States was not a party to that treaty.
Russia had been our steadfast friend.
Besides this our traditions, our ideals at
that time precluded any active partioi-
patton IN European policies. Russia
therefore was alone. For obvious reasons
this attitude was oppressive to the nat
ural freedom and commercial growth OF
Russia as nation.
With Russia thus out OF the way, then
followed the unfolding Of the plans OF
France and England to secure CONNER
cial supremacy by a rapid Development
Of an active colonial policy in various
parts OF the world, as in Egypt, In India
and finally IN the more remoss sections
OF Africa.
But the Civil war IN America in '61-'65
offered a new study to the strong gov
ernments [ p Of Europe. A new chance
was being presented. II the great reDub- /
lie went to pieoes-as was freely predict

allegiance. The miners believe the owners
will yield, eventually. but reports from
representatives OF the latter ara not very
assuring. They seem to be inclined to
stick TO their offer Of ten per cent in

conditions. It would seem, however, as
if the miners proposals might be made
the basis Of an arrangement by which the
strike could be brought to an end with
some concession by each side. The

able than IL was thought they would be

milton of the union-Was not made a part

is to be determined within the next few
days by the Democratic State Legisla-
tuIe, now sitting at. Frankfort This
strongly partisan body was summoned
to meet in special session nearly two
months ago for the express purpose Of
repeating OF amending the Infamous
GOebel law. Such odlum has attached
to the system under which a duly elected
Governor was driven from Office last
winter and a FRAUDULENT title was fabri-
Gated for a Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, beaten at the polls
by an acknowledged plurality Of 2511,

control feared to risk another public
trial Of It's notorious ''stand and deIlv-
err machinery. 1t was their secret hope,
OF course, that a few harmless changes
might be effected in the existing law

in the upper branch Of the Legislature
have fortunately upset the calculations

now to choose between a new measure

State to submit once more to the intoler-
able injustices OF the GOebel system.

The undertakers OF Maine are going to

their own this winter, and If thsir bill
isn't buried in the Legislature they hope
that 1t will result in great practical good

When the ship subsidy bill first be-
came subject Of discussion in the
newspapers. objection was raised in
Portland that its benefits would be al
most totally monopolized by the At
lantic coast ports and the Pacific coast
would he left dependent upon its own
resources, with greatly increased dis
advantages In competition with East
ern shipyards and transatlantic
steamer lines AS the bill was origin
ally drawn there was really some
ground for this contention. But when
Senator Mcbride proposed an amend
ment to the bill providing that 80 per
cent 1--WE belIeve) Of the subsidies paid
out should go 10 the Pacific coast,
which amendment was promptly adopt
ed and Incorporated in the original
bill, there seemed TO he no further
ground for opposition from this section.
The Mcbride amendment. indeed,
promised benefits to the Pacific coast,
the disparity Of its present volume Of
shipping considered, which were out
Of all proportion to those promised
any other section Of the country.
