Dryan aal the Young Nan Vote.

To THE EDITOR OF TEE SuN-St-: Bryan and
Croker have not corralled tho young mans
vote yet. They have a job yet ahead Of them.
Many young men. who were looking to Bryan's
much heralded speech OF acceptance for a
justification for paramounting imperialism"
in this campaign acknowledge that they have
had their wait for nothing. Bryan has failed to
make out a case. His essay reads like a labored
graduation day effort compiled from material
which once may have served a purpose as mere
argument. but which from tho logic Of recent
events IL an absolute waste.
But what Is TO be expected from one who
only four years ago had nothing in his noodle
but a scheme to coin dishonest money? The
they remember the Bryan paramounted
heresy Of 1895. Then. according TO this boyish
orator. the country was In immediate danger
Of ruin. unless 1t be rescued by free silverism.

encouragement that any young man Is looking

ditions and see II the young man doesn't help
himself.
No. imperialism Is not the thing. The
young man. or the old one either. is not able to
find language in which 10 express what Bryan
means by imperialism And. what's better.
they are unable to find anybody who believes
that the republic is in danger from that source.

Eorty-seven Years Behind Their
GrandfAthers.

AZ Q Democratic State Convention held
n Montpelier, the Democrats OF Vermont
onos adopted as an article OF their political
faith the subjoined ringing and patriotic
resolution on the subject OF expansion:
"R.se,ssd. That In opposing the narrow and tmid
policy which. had u prevailed, would have limited tho
United States OF America TO the territory OF Massa-
rhusessa Connecticut and the 'Providence Planta-
sionA' the Democratic party has wisely favored the
endorsement Of the domain OF freedom; and that We
are In favor Of the acquisition Of any territory on this
continent or the islands adjacent thereto, whenever u
can BE- done con srently with the rights Of other ma
lions and the hon. OF Of or own"
Il 10 proper to say that the Democratic
Convention in Vermont which adopted this
plank WAS held not this year or last year,
but - long g as seven years before the
Hon. WILLIAM ]. BRYAN was born. h
chairman OF the Committee on Resolutions
reporting the e~Ipansionist plank was that
brilliant son Of Vermont and man Of wit and
sense, the late JOHN GODFREY SAKE.
II there are any Democrats In Vermont
to-day who had rather see the narrow and
timid policy prevail. they are forty-seven
years behind their grandfather. tho Yer

supporting BRYAN In the belief that he will
develop into a LINCOLN: the Hon. GEORGE
sEwAIL boutwell,, who swears that the
Republican party must be overthrown; the
Hon. ERvINo WINsIow, who says that
there are 1000 anti-imperialists in Massa-
chusetts alone. and divers other shudderers
at empire are on their way to indianapolis.
where the Liberty Congress or Crank Con-
gress will meet on Wednesday.
The organizers Of this protest against
Mckinley despotism are confident that there
will be at least 500 delegates present,
thirty Of them from Massachusetts,, a great
Republican State which even the Hon.
GEoRoR FRED WILLIAMS doesn't hope TO
carry for the Democrats. The Chicago
University will be well represented, we
suppose. and so will the multivocal Anti
Imperialist League OF Washington, a CITY
which IL governed without the consent OF
the governed.
The old familiar faces and voices will be at
Indianapolis. but II Ia truthful and not i'm
polite to say that men OF political weight
and influence will not be there. The Repub-
lican antt-imperialists who command gen.
eral respect and attention, men like HoAR
EDMUNDs md REED. are not monomaniacs
and will not give up Republicanism simply
because they do not agree with the Repub-
lican party as to a single policy. Most of
the well-meaning II frequently tiresome
gentlemen who have bought their tickets
for Indianapolis are devoid OF the sense OF
proportion and incurably fond Of dissent.
We wish them a pleasant journey and a
hall OF good acoustic properties.

The Hon. Bird 3. COler.

Mr.. CoLER's political courage IL I'M
doubted. He can supply plenty Of that
article himself, but he Will have to look
to other people for the votes needed to
nominate and elect him.
Suppose that the Comptroller. with the
help Of HILL and the compromising and
f~ace-averted element Of the State Demoo-
racy. should succeed in carrying the con-
vention In defiance Of Tammany Hall. and
the sincere s~traight-out Bryanites who mean
business at sixteen to one.
The breach In the party thus w1dened. and
the CRoKER-HILL feud emphasized. what
about the polling on election day2
Two years ago an immensely popular Re-
publican candidate for Governor, the Hon.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT, carried the State
by less than Is. 1000 plurality over the lesser
VAN WICK. set up by Mr.. CROKER and
strongly favored by Tammany. Whyi
Because this county CAV VAN WICK Q
plurality Of more than 90. 900.
Four years before that. in 1894. q not very
popular Democratic candidate for Governor,
the Hon. DAVID B. HILL Of wolfert's Roost,
lost the State by an adverse plurality Of
l6e. ios. But Mr.. Hills plurality in New
York county was not 10000 or thereabouts;
1t was only also.
The last Democrat elected as Governor of
New York was Roswell p. Flown, in
1891. He won by nearly $4,000. Where did
his plurality come from' Every vote Of IL
was supplied by New York county, With
about IL 900 to spare.
The Hon. BIRD 8. CoLER may not be a
good Bryanite or a good Crokerits, but We
believe that he is a good mathematician.

These regulations will remind some readers
Of tho state Of things which obtained at
Harvard College forty years aso. The
NJ. A. degree, however. Is no longer con-
ferred at Williams as q matter OF course.
as It used to be at Harvard; on tho contrary.
to secure It. the holder Of q Bachelors
degree must have spent one additional
year In residence pursuing " approved
courses OF study. the work being equal 10
that OF a college year. and must have passed
satisfactory examinations and prepared
an acceptable thesis.
The germ OF Williams College was . So
called free school founded at Williams
town In 1885 In pursuance Of a bequest Of
EPHRAIM WILLIAMS. In 1898 the school
was transformed into . college by an act
OF the General Court. which then and sub
sequently endowed 1t with lands in tho
District OF Maine and with funds which.
up to the present time. have amounted In
the aggregate to upward Of Sl6s.ooo. Tho
resources upon which the institution relies
have come mainly from private hands.
The magnitude Of the contributions may be

form OF scholarships and In other ways
for the assistance Of INDECENT but worthy
students amount to nearly SAL. 900. ex-
elusive Of S26, 900 appropriated to honor
scholarships so-oalled. and Of the Horace
r. Clark prize scholarships, three Of which
are worth $500 . year. and the fourth. 400.
There are also numerous prizes ranging In
value from Si0 to $50. which are awarded
annually. On the whole. tho proportion
Of students who are receiving an amount
Of pecuniary aid ranging from 500 to $500
a year Is at Williams College exceptionally
large. Weshould here note that the regular
tuition fee Is Sos a year. but there are
additional charges for the library. gym
nasium and infrmary. and also for tho
courses in biology. chemistry. physics
and architecture. Tho cost Of board.
washing, fuel and light ranges at Williams
from SAC to S2S.
As regards what may be called the plant
Of a university. Williams College Is well
equipped. Besides two chapels and the
buildings appropriated to lectures and
Rotations, II possesses a memorial hall,
a library and library extension. two OBJ
servatortes. a chemical laboratory. a physi-
cal laboratory and a biological laboratory.
a gymnasium and an infrmary. The COL
lege library contains a. $50 volumes. ex-
elusive OF duplicates. and over $4,000 pam
phlets. There is a valuable collection Of
paintings. prints, photographs, bas-relefs.
vases and pottery. and there is a museum
comprising neurological. archaeological.
geological. genealogical and botanical
collections.
On the whole. II cannot be disputed that
Williams College. although situated In a
small country town. presents all the req
uisite facilities for a liberal education.

The Sea Route to Cape Mono.

The increasing Importance OF navigation
in Behring Sea is illustrated by the fact that
our surveyors. owing to the discoveries
Of gold north Of Nome. are this summer
studying the coast waters and harbors a.
far north as Port Clarence. over 100 miles
north Of the southern limits OF the sea.
Except the Prbylov sealeries and the Arctic
whaleries, no enterprise OF a largo scale
was ever undertaken In Behring Sea until
the stampede to Cape Nome began: and
there Is no doubt that the gold sources
found north Of that point are to be ex-
plotted and may be the scene Of important
industry for years to come. For general
information. therefore. the photographic

movements in Behring Sea during the spring
months when it is necessary for miners
or others to enter and navigate the sea
II anything Is to be accomplished during
the year OF arrival.
The whalers are practically the only
source Of information. The Prbylov
Islands lie q little south Of the southern
limits OF the ice In April and therefore may
always be reached early In tho spring.
In winter all the harbors and inlets north
Of the Aleutian Islands are completely
filed by heavy ice and an Ice barrier ex-
tends clear across Behring Sea from q little
north Of the Pribylov Islands. This Ice
is composed OF large foes from eight to ten
feet thick and many Of them ha wing an area
Of several square miles, Between these
foes are patches OF open water or leads
and it is through these leads that the whal-
ers push their way. In April and May, IN
order to reach the open water that Is likely
to be found on the Siberian coast In and a
little south Of Behring Strait. They wish
to attain this position In order to intercept
the whales that have wintered In Behrng

This route right through the sea. follow
ing the leads, is the only way to get to the
far north early In the season. II Is more or
less precarious. for the leads are apt to be
choked with sinai Ice and weeks are m
