The Roosevelt meeting in New York on
Friday night was attended by tremen-
dous crowd and so was the Bryan meet
ing the night following If a man were
to undertake to make up an estimate of
the intentions Of the voting public from
these two meetings he would ind about
as much basis for a prediction in one
direction as in the other. Experience
has shown, however, that crowds and
seeming enthusiasm are very unsafe
guides to the determination of political
sentiment. Curiosity brings as many
people to meetings of this sort as sympa-
thy with the speakers sentiments and
probably a great many more. Bryan
drew tremendous crowds 10 Maine. but
the voting showed that the great majority
of the people who composed them had no
sympathy whatever with his doctrines.
OF themselves neither the Roosevelt
meeting nor the Bryan meeting throws
much light on the prospect in New York.
The true way to ascertain the sentiments
Of a community is to mingle with them
and converse with them, or to get them
in some way to express for themselves
their sentiments. This method has been
resorted to by agents Of several Of the
independent papers Of New York ana
the result has Invariably shown a strong
predOminance Of sentiment IN favor of
Mckinley. That showing viii be borne

President Hydes criticism Of the prac-
tice of giving state aid to all the acade-
mics indisoriminately is not new, but
it is stated with great force and coming
from a distinguished educator ought to
have a good deal Of weight. There can
be no question that the state has squan-
dered a great many thousands of dollars
on Institutions, some of which had no
good reason for existing, and some of
which had plenty of resources Of their
own. How these appropriations have
been secured is perfectly well understood
by frequenters of the legislative halls. 1t
has been by a system Of log rolling. One
academy has said to the other ''You help
NE and 1 viii help you In the express
siye phrase Of Scion Chase they have
''jined drives the worthy and the
unworthy, and In this way have been
able to bling pressure enough to bear to
get appropriations without regard to
their merits. We haven't very much
faith that the practice can be broken up,
for the reason that there are a great many
votes enlisted In It's support. Every
community that has one of these acade-
mics demands an appropriation, and there
are SO many Of them that when banded
together they constitute a tremendous
voting force. One thing, however, Pres
ident Hyde's criticism viii tend to do,
that is to destroy the effectiveness
of the cry that has been frequently
raised in the past that everybody who
opposed these appropriations was a
foe to education. 1t will be too ridicu-
lous to thus stigmatize BoWdoins presi-
dent.
