lining the spirit that Is at present pssdomi-
snans In the land where the policy is being
carried ou., and nothing Is more certain
than the fact that the German Emperor
today is the most popular and Beloved
man In the German Empire. He IS the
embodiment of the spirit of military and
naval organization. He stands for their
spirit Of territorial expansion that Is caus>
ing us so much debate in this campaign,
and If one may judge by the fruits of his
position, II Is endorsed cordially by the
great bulk of the German vote. The op-s
position to the Emperor's party in the
Reichstag is becoming more and more IN
Significant. and the demands for increased
armament and ships are being more and
more readily granted.
we do not propose to argue as to the
wisdom of the present trend of the Ger
man policy. We do not say that in the
long run their civilization will necessarily
be benefited by getting the increase OF
markets for the export of manufactured
goods that the present Emperor has IN
view. We are not sure that the political
stroke Which gave #then tiie I:Sht " iuA7

one that may not have in it menace 10

that whether the policy be wise or not, IL
is one that has the hearty endorsement Oh

are opposed to the policy of their Govern

CURRENT TOPICS.

The Hon. Edward w. Carmack is
Democratic Representative in Congress
from Tennessee, and will probably be
elected a Senator in Congress. This is the
way in which he talks about Dewey's eA-
petition to the Philippines:

This is very violent language, and hardly
at the time of Dewey's expedition to Mani
la and the killing of people in open war
cannot be considered murder either in the
sight of God or man.
''If Bryan is elected business will so to
hell!' Thus sententiously declares that
uncompromising Democrat, General w H.
Jackson, of Tennessee And then he adds:
I'm going to vote for Bryan anyhow.
What's the use OF talking to me?"

VERMONT AS A STRAW.

What comfort it must be to political
prophets on both sides 10 be able to draw
consolidation from the results of the Yer
mont election. Mr. Croker said. 81 am
very much pleased with the returns. 1
see there was a loss of ten per cent. in
the Republican vote, and E gain in the
Democratic vote. If this proposition is
kept up al over the country orr ticket will
be elected. A change OF q 200 votes proper
ly distributed, would have elected Bryan
four years ago" Ex-Governor William j.
Stone, OF Missouri. also expressed himself
as much pleased with the Vermont cleo
ton Senator N. D. Scott, however, of the
Republican National Committee, says that
the result shows that the Republicans have
won great victory, though they have
made some slight falling of. as compared
with the vote offfour years ago.
AS a matter OF fact, Vermont seems to
victory in the country at large this year
When the Republican plurality i'll Yer
mont which had been SS.3eS in 1868 and 20
1913 in 1872, sunk down to 2, l35 in 1876. it
was taken as a foreshadowins of Tilden's
election In 1850 the Republican plurality
rose to 5000 again and Garfield was
elected In 1854 it swung back to ,714 and
Cleveland was elected. In 1855 there was
great curiosity, says the New York Even
ing Post. to see whether Cleveland would
retain his strength after making the issue
of the tariff reform so suddenly, and when
the Republican plurality went up to 49, eo
lacking five votes. it was seen that the
chances were in favor of Harrison's cleo
ton. When. however, in 1882 the Republi-
can vote fell off le,0oo it was seen that
Mr. Cleveland would be Overwhelmingly
returned. In 1896 all records were broken,
great numbers of Democrats voting for the
Republican ticket so much SO that the
Republican plurality was 3S,5l. This year
the plurality is over $4,000 and shows that
while a great many Democrats have gone
back into the party FOR the sake OF reSu-
larity, a good many are sull refraining
from voting This would seem to show
that the issue is not as strongly as in 1886.
but that there are still :; certain number
of Democrats who are not yet in line with
the policy of the party and will refrain
from supporting ii at the election this fail,
for the Democratic gain is fifteen per cent
over 1886. which does not yet bring the
party up to the strength it showed in
previous years.

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES VOTE.

The Gernan-American vote is receiving
a great deal of attention in the papers at
present. and Mr.. Schurz IS out as the
aVowed cmissary TO bring that vote into
line soiidly against militarisn and impe-
riaiisnl. Mr.. Scnurz thinks and feels and
says with his accustomed vigor that the
Germans have learned by bitter experience
at home to abhor military service and to
despise that spirit of foreign aggression
that is known to-day by the term OF iinpe-
riaisn. and feeling as he does. Mr.. Schurz
has boldly started out to get the German
American vote. as if it We're unit that
could be controlled with much certainty,

we do not think that ar. sehurz will be

chief among which is the fact that the
Germar-American vote is the vote of a
