Their Steadfastness.

One CONSTANT set Of voters down
in Maine are the Prohibitionists.
Other parties may rise or fall, but
the three thousand and odd Prohi-
bitionists do not vary. They polled
8 l2l votes In 1888: 3.732 in 1892;
1882 ia 1896. and 3.l07 In 1900. A
similar steadfastness has been OBJ
served in the Prohibition vote in
Philadelphia. which is always about
the same, whatever issues may dis
tract the greater parties.
This shows the steadying effect Of
a fixed principle. just what is the
policy of the Prohibitionists In
Maine is not quite clear, as they
already have q prohibitory law
there, but these three thousand
steadfast voters probably represent
that part of the population that is In
favor of its enforcement. IL will be
observed that with all their stead
fastuess they are not making pro-

opposed to the liquor traffic and so the
prohibition law is kept on the statute
books. But the sale of liquor is tolerated
because the people of Maine are not will

that it is far better to have no law
against this or any other traffic than to
have law on the statute books and dis

AS is well known, Lewiston is one OF Inc
chief cities of Maine. while Auburn

siderable size. Together they contained
in 1890 about $4,000 people, and 1t is lar
TO presume that the population has con-
siderably increased since that time. In
these two places are various manufac-
turing industries, an excellent school sSs-

Der of newspapers. '.In short" says the
Evening Post, 1.-The two places combined
would furnish fair. test of any expert

From "a selfish point of view the people
of the United States may congratulate
themselves that the war in South Africa
has practically been brought to a close.
we are on the eve Of a Presidential CAM
paign and there Will be u sharp contest
between the two great parties OF this
country for supremacy. Evidently there
is a widespread sympathy throughout the
United States with the Beers, and there
was danger that the question of interven-
ton on our pant would be dragged into
the campaign In the excitement of
Presidential canvass even conservative
men sometimes lose their heads, and if the
people had taken up this South African
question and sided with the Beers as they
took up the Cuban question and sided
with the Cuban insurgents. we might have
been involved in serious difficulties with
Great Britain before the thing was over.
In the interest Of our peace, therefore, and
our friendly relations with Great Britain.
it is fortunate that the collapse has come
in time to keep the question out Of our
politics.
There is another selfish view. England
is one of the largest customers that we
have for our products of the soil and pro
ducts of the mill, and there is apt to be
something of a boom in that country after
the war has come to an end. There will
be more than ever demand for American
products and American securities, and We
shall undoubtedly participate in the bene-
fits of the flush times of England which
are proverbially said to follow the conclu-
sion Of a war.

A Political Suggestion.

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-During the Presidential campaign
of 1896 the Southern Democrats who dis
scented fronl the principles of the
"Chicago platform were urged with We
hemence to support Mr.. Mckinley. These
men, lifelong members OF the Demo.
cratic party, both from cherished tradi-
tons and self interest, now regard with
diSnay the results in men ana measures
of the Chicago Convention; they even
looked forward with dread to the possible
victory of that party, whose ascendency
they hitherto considered essential to their
political welfare.
Therefore many arguments were brought
forward why they should drop their so
called political shackles; the dishonor to
the national name, the serious injury to
the material interest Of all classes and
individuals, the radical changes in legisla-
ton and legal administration that would
result from Bryan's victory We're pro-
claimed, and, what is more, We're heard
by them with. conviction
The history Of popular government is,
doubtless, unable TO exhibit political
contest which party, as the Republi-
cans were able to do in 1896, could so APP
peal to The intelligence, integrity and con-
servatism OF the people: nor one where
the material interests Of the nation $50 far
as demonstration and experience could
present those interests) and social order
We're so involved in and dependant on
its success. Rarely have intelligent men
been SO beset with such sound reason
ing or ardent appeal as We're those South
ern Democrats above referred to.
In the coming campaign of this summer,
along with the new issues OF expansion
and government Of our recently acquired
territory, it is certain that the resolutions
and actions OF Democratic conventions will
again bring to the front the old questions
of order and money, so bitterly fought
over four years ago. And again will the
same forcible arguments apply. Yet few
Southern Democrats voted for Mckinley
in 1885, and, Notwithstanding their con-
tinued disagreement with present Demo-
cratic tenets and politicians, fewer still
will vote for him next November.

E. Harvie Spence the property at the
northwest corner of Broad and Eighth

The price paid for the property, with the

increase over what Mr. Spence paid for
the property several years ago. showing
the enhancement of values there.
The deed of transfer has not yet been
made, but it is understood the stock
company will make extensive improve
ments in the Bijou Theatre before the
opening of next season.
The plans for the new theatre that the
Bijou Company is to erect in Norfolk

THE SOLUTION NOT YET.

There is a great deal of idle talk Just
now as to the policy which this country
shall pursue towards the Philippines, and
there is a demand from certain quarters
that the Democratic party, in its national
platform soon to be promulgated, snail
make an emphati and a well-defined de-
liverance upon that subject. The Demo-
cratic leaders will do well to so slow in
this matter and to be very careful now
they commit the party TO future action
The Philippine problem cannot be solved
in a day, and it is impossible that any
men or any body of men can arrive at any
proper solution of the problem at TINS
time 1t is all we'll enough to says IN
glittering generalities that the Fdlipnos
should have a government of their own
and that we should apply the American
principle in those islands. 1t is all well
enough to protest against the needless
slaughter of the brave followers of Agui-
naldo.'' but the simple fact is we have
an instruction on our hands and that
must be put down before we can do any
thing else, and as to applying the A9neri-
Ill the experiment shall have been tried
whether or not that principle can be APP
piled in the Philippines.
Asain-We do not know what moment
there may be a conflict between Russia
and japan; we do not know what moment
there may be conflict between Russia
and Great Britain, growing out of the
~ ,at f-11ny III
that Russia win attempt to get a foothoid
in the Philippines. It is at least probable
that if we should withdraw from the Phil
ippines, Russia or some other European
bower would attempt to so in and take
uossession. It may be necessary to our
own interests and to the welfare Of tie
I7ilipinos that we maintain our status quo
indefinitely. We are not where we were
before the war with Spain was fwaged and
before the Philippine Islands fell into our
hands However innocently, We nave IN
a measure become involved in European
diplomacy. so-called, and there is no
knowing when or how we may honorably
and safely withdraw.
The Times was opposed to the war with
Spain, and so were thousands and thou
sands of others in this country, but the
war came and as result there are obliga-
tons which the nation must respect. We
do not wish to be understood as making
evil prophecies; We would not play the
role of alarrlist; but we say that serious
compiled tons in connection with this
Philippine question may arise, and that 1t
is Impossible at this time for any party
to evolve solution of the problem. al
that we can do is to cross the bridges as
we come to them. one by one.
