- THE CAMPAIGN IN MAINE.

The state campaign in Maine will be-
gin tomorrow and end on Sept. TO- 1t
promises 10 be an intensely interesting
one. The Democrats do not, of course,
expect to elect their ticket. but they do
expect to cut down the Republican ma
jority The normal Republican majority
is about 10000 In 1896, however, it was
4S, 246. In that year the Republicans were
out in force and the Democrats were
Indifferent as to whether they got out a
full vote or not The silver plank in
the Democratic platform was not popu-
lar with the Democrats of the Pine Tree
State. Many of them, therefore, stayed
at home.
The Republicans are very much afraid
this year They are. therefore, sending
out campaign literature, giving reasons
why a big Republican majority need not
be expected. They understand that the
Democrats are not as afraid of free silver
this year as they were four years ago,
and that great many Republicans are
against the Republican party on account
cf its imperiaIistic policy. IF, therefore,
the Republican majority should fall as
low as 1900, there would not be great
deal of surprise among the politicians
But what would be the effect on the
presidential election If the Republican
majority should not be greater than that?
Would II not be to dishearten the Re-
publicans and give the Democrats conf
dence? II certainly would. Such a
small majority would be evidence that the
Gold Democrats were back in the Demo
cratic party and that the issue of i'm
perialism was an excellent one for the
Democrats. It would be almost an as
surance of Democratic success in the
presidential campaign. 1t would be ar
gued, and justly, too. that such a reduc-
ton in the Republican majority i'm the
great stronghold of Republicanism meant
that the doubtful states-the states in
the Middle West which hav slender
Republican majorities-would go Demo-
cratic in November
II is conceded that the Maine state cleo
ton is always an indication as to how
the country is going in the national cleo
ton. Therefore, If the Republican ma
jority in that stale this year In the state
election is below the normal the Demo-
Gratis will claim, and rghtfully. that the
tide of public sentiment is running
strongly in favor of Mr. Bryan. On the
other hand, if the Republican party car
ries the state by anything like the ma
iority by which IL carried IL in 1896 Re-
publican managers will insist that Re-
publicans are standing by their party.
and that the Gold Democrats will cast
their ballots against Mr.. Bryan.
The progress Of the campaign in Maine
therefore, will be watched with unusual
interest. and the result will be awaited
with impatence. II is admitted that
both parties Will put forth extraordinary
efforts 10 get out all of the voters. The
campaign will be so thorough that IT Will
amount practically 10 a house-to-house
canvass

Moltke's reticence was so proverbial
that. as the Kings birthday approached
there used TO be bets among the officers
and the general staff as to how many
words Moltke would use in proposing the
toast of the day, says the Chicago Daily
News Some backed a nine-word speech
others put their money on eight words
Moltke's habit was to say: ITO the
health of His Majesty, Emperor and
King" or, ITO his imperial majesty's
health" In 1854 an oyster breakfast was
staked on the marshal's not using more
than nine words. But, because he began
with the word gentlemen" the bet was
lost. The loser comforted himself by say
ing: Hes aging. is Moltke; he's getting
loquac iousn'
While Uncle Dick Oglesby was gov
ernor Of Illinois the second time a state
senator opposed to him charged that the
money in the Governors fund" had been
Illegally used. The Governors fund"
contains usually about $4,000 to meet the
incidental expenses of the Office for the
purchase Of stationery and such things.
Soon after this charge was given cur
rency the Governor was in the next coun-
ty to the senator making a speech, and
he referred to the charges thus: There
a little senator over in the military tract
who says l have misuse1 the money of
the governors fund It's a lie" That
was all the explanation or refutaiion he
ever made but it was enough
Probe bly, no man was more keenly in
terested in the recent total eel pse of the
sun than DR. Edward Everett Hale.
The eminent New Englander is now Is
years old. yet he recently journeyed from
Boston to Hampton Roads to get within
the belt of the totality in order to enjoy
a new experience, says the Saturday
Evening Post.
The scientists watched him with delight.
He was as excited and enthusiastic as
they, and his first question after 1t was
over was: When will there be another"
They told him the next eclipse would oc-
eur in Sumatra, in the Island of Java,
and would last about seven minutes. He
at once announced his intention to at
tend the event. saying it was worth the
thousands of miles of travel to go through
the keen mental sensation. DR.. Hale told
the group of scientists with him char
acteristic anecdote He said when he
was child his father delighted in tell
ing story to point the greatness of Ex-
eter. N H, his native town. Hundreds
of country people from Hampton, a near
by village, came to Exeter to view an
eclipse.
His father met many farmers he had
known in the village and asked them
what they were in Exeter for.
ITO see the eclipse" they answered.
But why not stay in your own town."
he asked
oh" they answered, I'VE heard so
much of this great eclipse and wanted to
see it, We were afraid it might skip
Hampton, but we were certain it would
never go by the academy town"
That was eighty years ago" added DR..
Hale. land things are oddly reversed.
Here l have journeyed from Massachu-
sets to Hampton to see an eclipse, for
l knew it wouldn't skip Hampton"

Richard Henry Stoddard, the blind

much of his copy and writes most of it.
In spite of his blindness, he writes

commander of the British forces in China,

Gen. Stephen D. Lee. president of the

NATIVE CHRISTIANS IN pEKIN.

one of the troublesome questions which
the Powers will have to settle with China
is that Of protection for the native Chris
tians. According TO the dispatches the
foreign ministers insist that those in Pc
kin shall have all the protection
the allies can give them They say if
these native Christians should be left in
Pekin without protection they would be
ma ssacred.
No doubt the native Christians did all
they could to aid the ministers while they
We're besieged in the legations. 1t would
be an act of gross injustice and even in
humanity to abandon them 10 the fate
that would be theirs If they should fall
into the hands Of the fanatical Boxers.
1t has been stated that there are about
g. 900 native Christians in Pekin. viii shey
be taken to Tien Tsin, if the allies and
the ministers retire 80 that city? That IS,
apparently. the only disposition that can
be made of them But what is to become
of them eventually? There are tens of
thousands of native Christians scattered
throughout the empire They cannot be
brought away from China. There is. in
fact, no place for them except their ma
tive land. They cannot come TO this
country. Our laws bar them out. There
is no room for them in Europe.
In the settlement that will be made
with the Chinese government il will be
provided, no doubt. that the native Chris
tians shall not be molested in any way.
But is the Chinese government able TO
protect them against the Boxers? The
feeling of hostility against them by all
Chinese who are not Christians is now so
bitter that 1T will be difficult for them to
engage in any business or occupa ton with
a prospect of success They will be per-
secuted in so many ways that it will be
a matter of wonder if they adhere to their
faith
The Powers gave them protection up to
the time of the beginning of the Boxer
movement Since that movement began
the Powers have not been able to protect
them, and hundreds of them have been
massacred. What sort of protection will
the Powers be able TO give them in the
future? Il is evident that their protec-
take possession of the entire empire,
practically and maintain garrisons in
every city and village. That would mean
the overthrow of the Chinese government,
and 1t is certain that the United States
are not prepared to take so radical a step
as that
The question of protection for native
Christians may be the most troublesome
that the Powers will have to deal with.
1t may be made an excuse by the Euro
pean Powers for dividing China among
themselves. 1t is evident that Germany
and Russia would not want much of an
excuse 20 adopt policy looking to the
dismemberment of the empire. Thus far,
since the trouble in China began, very
little has been heard about the native
Christians. but they may play leading
part in the negotiations that are to come.

II is difficult to understand why the
people. as a rule, desert Tybee so early
in the season. Northern resorts, Atlantic
City, Cape May and others. retain their
popularity in full tide right up to Sep
TENDER, while Tybee's is on the wane be-
fore the middle of August. 1t is true
some people remain until September. but
they are comparatively few, and he num-
bers who visit the island for days out
ing are growing smaller and smaller. It
is as healthy at Tybee now as anywhere,
and there is little or no danger to be ap-
pretended from storms in August, for
their movements are so carefully follow
ed that warnings are now given in lime
for everything on the island to be moved
before they strike. The South Atlantic
has no better resort than Tybee. and it is
a mistake to desert it on account of
groundless fears before the season ends.
