PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

When the hundreth anniversary of Leo
pardis birth was celebrated, on June 20,
the Italian government resolved to erect
monument to him at the expense OF
the state. On July 20 the coffin which
had held his body since June 10, 1887,
was opened, and the remains nothing
but the skull and q few bones-Were
tran sferred to a zinc coffin and entombed
again in the Church of San Vitales,
Naples, wherein mausOleum is to be
erected to his memory.
An Italian peasant named Mancini has
earned the 81, COO placed on the head of
the famous brigand Luciano Fioravanti,
by shooting him when he was off his
guard. F1oravanti, who had married a
niece OF the notorious brigand Biagini,
Joined the latter's band after he had been
punished for stealing pair of somes.
After a time he became leader himself,
of the Tammany order; that is. instead
of stealing directly, he offered the farmers
protection in return for regular
tribute. Ii this was withheld, he burned
barn or haystack by way OF warning
notice.
Gustav SaIvini, one of the sons of the
great Tomasso, Is still trying to arouse in
italian audiences an interest in the clas-
sical drama. He is travelling throughout
Italy with a company that gives perform
mances Of the works Of SOphOcles and
Alfieri
The biggest living man is Lewis Will
kins, who is now arousing great interest
in the scientific circles of Europe. VIII
kins was born on a farm near st Paul,
Mimi. in 1874. When he was but ten
years of age he measured six feet in
height, and now has grown to the tre-
mendOus height of 1O7 IA Inches, just
three quarters of an inch less than nine
feet, and weighs 364 pounds.
Militia N1kolaJewna, who with her hus
band, the grand duke Peter Of Russia,
had a narrow escape from death in rail
way wreck near Rome, was before her
marriage a princess of Montenegro, Her
father was Nicholas I. of Montenegro,
another OF whose daughters is Helena,
now queen of Italy. Militia was born at
Cetbinje on the S65h of July, 1866. She
was married to Grand Duke Peter at the
Peterhof palace on her birthday anniver-
sary in 1889, the ceremony being per-
formed with the usual spIendor and mag
nificence. She has three children, Marina.
Roman and Nadescha.
Public bequests amounting to over
s., Geo. 600 were made by the late Baron
Adolphe Rothschild of Paris in his will.
His art collections of sacred objects,

The report that Russia and Germany
had declared war upon China is officially
denied, but there will be uneasiness until
the Intentions of these two powers are
definitely and distinctly stated. The
declaration OF the Russian general that
his country was formally at war with
China was not without significance,
and it may turn out that it was really a
premature announcement of Russia S
policy. The talk that the German EN-.
peror has been making may not be very
suggestive, because he is accustomed to
say a great many things that he does not
mean, or only means for a very short
time, but there may be good deal of sig
nifcance in the fact that Germany has
sent 3O, 900 men to China. Ii the sole pur-
pose of that country were to restore order
it is difficult to see why so many tro ops
should be sent and why preparations
should be made, as it is alleged there
have been, for d long campaign. E VENT
uaIy these two powers will have to dis
close their policies In way that cannot
be misunderstood. At present we can ony
judge of them from their preparations,
and it would certainly look from these
preparations that something more was
intended than to restore order and then
get out.

The Hon. W. E. English of Indianapo-
lis, who has just expressed his intention
to vote for Mckinley. declares that the
param cunt issue in this campaign Is
Bryan himself That Is the exact fact.
1t is Bryan and what Bryan represents,
that is Organism, that the country must
vote up or down. The question is whet h.
er Bryan is a fit man to become the ex-
eoutive head of the United States govern
ment. And that question IS not an
swered when he is asked and answers
how he stands on some particular ques-
tion which somebody may declare a
paramount issue. The whole character
and make up of the man, his previous
career, the doctrines that he has support
ed, the tone Of his speeches and the
character and career of the men who
constitute his closest associates-alI these
things must be considered In forming a
conclusion as to Bryan's fitness for the
presidency.

Report comes from Pekin tnat the sol
diers of the allies have been looting that
city. The same was reported at Tien
Ts1n. Tt is doubtless true that some Of
the soldiers of the allied army are not
much better when unrestrained than
the Boxers. The Russian Cossacks are
barbarians with q very thin veneer of
civilization. Yet if the officers had been
doing their full duty the looting would
either have never begun or would very
quickly have been stopped.

The election in Vermont takes place
week In advance of Maine and the re-
suit viii forecast with considerable ac-
curacy the result a week later in this
state. Vermont is overwhelmingly Re-
publican; like Maine it has large rural
population, and its cities are generally
small like Maines. Maine probably
has many more manufacturing industries
and consequently larger number of peo-
pie who are dependent upon a brisk de-
mand for manufactured goods for their
livelihood. But the states are similar
enough to make the result in one pretty
good Index of what it will be in the
other. The Democrats have been carrying
on in the Green Mountain State what
for them is quite an active campaign.
George Fred Williams and several other
Democratic orators have been up there,
and ii they have made no impression it
is not because of any lack Of 1urid proph-
ecies for they have been assuring the peo-
pie most solemnly that If Mckinley is
elected the empire win be here and it Will
be of no use to try to get rid Of it. The
Democratic speakers who have come to
Maine up to the present time seem to
have been tame alongside of those who
h ave been perambulatlng Vermont.

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE RESULT IN MAIN E.

"
Upon Maine Republicans, therefore,
devoIves a great duty. 1t is simple and
easy and 1t should be a joy to perform
it. That duty is 80 make the Repu bl1can
majority in September as large as possi-
BILE in order that it may carry enthusiasm
to the lighting ranks of the friends Of the
administration in the West, cheering
them and animating them. Imperialism
is a bogus issue. Mr.. Mckinley himself
said on M arch 3, 1900, in New York,
''There can be no imperialism. Those
who fear 1t are against 1T. Those VINO
have faith in the republic are against 1T,
So that there is universal adherence for 1t
and unanimous opposition to it," So
stamp such an issue as false to send
abroad the message that Maine is free in
her faith as of old, uplifting the banner
of the party that stands for all that
stands for progress-these are privileges.
The election in Maine is greater by far
than the chase of men for office. 1t
means more than petty 1ntrigues OF small
politicians. 1t means the declaration for
principles that are Of great Importance
in the future welfare of this people; for,
whether for good or for III, it Is certain
that the verdict OF Maine carries enOr-
nous res possibilities in its effect on the
general results throughout the country.
HE WILL RIDE TWO HORSES
philadelphia Record (Dem.)
In accepting the Populist nomination
for the presidency Mr.. Bryan had no
Democratic qualms. He was Populist
in 1896, and he remains Popul1sG-the
consistent advocate OF cheap money and
OF all the visionary sOcialistic schemes
for the conversion of representative gov
ernment into mob government, he
just1ties fusion of parties for the over
throw Of Republican administration on
the ground of common danger growing
out of the attempt to establish colonial
policy for the government of the islands
acquired from Spain Instead OF such gov
ernments as have been heretofore estab-
Iished in territory acquired by the United
States either by conquest or purchase.
Whether the danger be greater from
| pOpuHsm than from Imperialism is a
question which every voter must deUer-
mine for himself. Congress and the
courts will have final say in the matter.
| The administration must answer for the
administration. The president cannot
establish an imperial policy unless he
shall be sustained by the legislative and
| judicial authority.
| The Republican party has shown an
undoubted disposition to adventure upon
| forbidden ground and to stretch the
constitution in order to avoid the diff
cuIties involved IN the enforcement OF
our absurd revenue laws where their
| operation would be injurious; but Mr..
Bryan magn1tles the difficulties and the
dangers Of the situation for his own pur-
poses.
| In taking the Populist nomination Mr..
| Bryan has accepted responsibility for
populism, and has measurabIy dfsqualt-
fled himself as the Democratic candidate.
| He has preserved his consistency; but he
has probably destroyed whatever chance
he had of election next November.
