THE RIGHT WAY.

In response TO an assurance that MasSachu-
setts was certain to give a great majority for
Mckinley and Roosevelt Senator Scott. of the
Republican National Committee said yesterday:
We're not going to let Massachusetts go as
'she pleases, either. We are going to work
hard in every State to make the plurality as
large as possible" The Senator's declaration
is timely and shows that he has exactly the
right view Of the way in which the campaign
ought to be conducted A comfortable major
ity of the Electoral votes is by no means all
there is to be desired. The highest interests of
the country require that there should be i'm
mense popular maJorities behind the electoral
verdict 1t is extremely important that Bryan
and his supporters should not be able to say
with any approach to truth that the changing
of a few votes here and there would have re
versed the result. -Four years ago men who
detested Organism were almost persuaded that
the defeat of Mckinley would in the long run
be less unfortunate than his victory by a mar
row margin. since in the former case heavy
penalty would be quickly paid and the lesson
learned for all time, whereas in the latter case
a disastrous agitation would continue indefi-
nitely. Happily the country did not have to
take that heroic remedy for foolishness, but
yet, in spite Of the wonderful prosperity which
has disproved every free silver claim, Bryan is
still the dictator Of free silver party. This
year the condemnation and the overthrow
ought to be final. victory like that of 1896
might and probably would. answer the pur-
pose; but far greater one ought to be achieved
II possible.
Their conduct indicates that there are men
who, while they lack the boldness to support
Bryan openly, and viii perhaps vote for Nc
kinley, are hoping that he will just barely pull
through. 1t Is duty to give them the worst
disappointment of their lives. AS Senator Scott
says, even the surest State should not be per
mitted to go as 1t pleases and furnish safe
but not an impressive majority. The right
kind Of victory will be one Of such magnitude
that the vanquished will not have enough vital
ity left even TO wonder where they are "at"

THE DUKE OF CoBURG.

The death of the reigning Duke OF SAKE
Coburg- Gotha causes far more regret than sur
prise, for it was by no means unexpected For
many years his health had been In an unsatis-
factory If not actually precarious condition. and
with advancing years his ailments increased
and his powers of resistance to them decreased
He was within a few days of being htty-slx
years old a fact which reminds us afresh or
the venerable age of the Queen and Empress
whose third child he was. He is best remem-
bered as the Duke of Edinburgh, by which
title he was known during most of his life, as
he only succeeded to the throne of the German
dulxedom rs late as seven years ago. He was
Prince of amiable character and high intellect
uaI gifts who served his native land faithfully
as n naval officer and was in the closing years
of his life judcious and temperate sovereign
of his adopted State. His death causes MOURN
ing in more than one royal and imperial court
and sore bereavement to his revered mother;
and It NAV well evoke sincere sympathy from
humankind the world around
The death of the Duke Is also reminder OF
the ties which join together the various dynas-
ties Of Europe He was a Royal Prince of
Great Britain and Ireland, and son Of the
sovereign of that realm. He was a Sovereign
Prince of the German Empire, the peer of the
King of Prussia himself. His wife is the aunt
of the Emperor of Russia. One of his daugh
ters is Grown Princess of Rumania and the
other two are Princesses of States of the Ger
man Empire. Nevertheless his death will have
no political effect. The dukedom comprises
only 755 square miles, with fewer than two
hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants, and
any unrest or revolt in 1t would scarcely ruffle
the surface of European politics There will
however be no manifestation of that kind. The
succession will be effected with entire smooth
ness. the throne again passing from uncle to
nephew as it did Mt the accession of the Duke
who has just died. Duke Alfred leaves no son.
and the Saic law prevails. His heir would
therefore naturally be his younger brother, the
Duke of Connaught. But that Prince some
time ago renounced his rights in favor OF the
Duke of Albany, the son of the late Prince
Leopold of Great Britain and Ireland and
Princess Helen of Waldeck-P Pyrmont. The
Duke of Albany Is now sixteen years OF age
and has recently been living and studying in
Germany in order to fit himself as perfectly as
possible for his estate a German sovereign
He succeeds to a petty throne and will prob
ably play no conspicuous part in the public
affairs Of the world or of the empire. But in
view of the ominous tragedy which so closely
preceded his accession IT may perhaps not be
deemed an inconsolable grief not to be the
monarch Of great Power.
