and other houses Of entertainment before
the Expedition opened. II Ia said that
DUyAL and C%HAMPEAUx paid 800, 900 francs
for the positions allotted to them while the
concessions given TO other restaurant
keepers cost from 500. 900 TO 100000 francs.
That these oversanguine conceSsionariee
cannot poasibly get back their money IL
evident from the oficial returns In the
matter Of the sale OF tickets. Out
OF os. 900, 900 tickets issued at tho opening
OF the fair. more than 60.O0O,O0O had re-
manned unused toward the end OF August
During what Ia known IA the " season.
the average attendance rarely exceeded
oO.Ooo, Including 10000 on the free list;
only once did 100000 persons occupy the
grounds. In midsummer the average daily
attendance did not surpass 10000. including
deadheads. The fall in the price Of tickets
ls sufficiently significant. Originally
stamped I franc" they never cost more
than rs confines; now two are sold for 20
centimes, or s cents apiece. while the Credn
Luon naise offers a hundred tickets for
u confines, or about 4 cents. apiece. II Ia
predicted that the tickets will soon drop to
2 and even 2 cents. and that. by the time
November comes, they will be given away.
As to the optimistic builders OF colossal
hotels and apartment houses, who In April
demanded exorbitant rents, they are now
in the depths OF humility and despair. and
nothing ia easier at the present time than TO
obtain lodging and board at reasonable
rates anywhere in Paris.
Now that tickets OF admission are OBJ
tainable for a few cents, II Ia probable
enough that the number Of visitors will be
largely increased on Sunday and Monday,
which are the workmen's holidays. lt Ia
reported that 10000 entered the gates on
Monday, Sept. 10. Such sightseers. how
ever. are Of little Use to the privileged res
taurants and sideshows. by which prepos-
ferrous prices are charged. We may assume.
therefore, that. during the concluding
sixty days, no material Improvement can
be looked for In the outcome Of the Ex-
position from a pecuniary point OF view,
Should this prove TO be the case. the Minis
ters, who would have demanded the credit
for success, will have TO bear the blame for
failure. under which circumstances their
Nationalist opponents will probably be
able to make short work Of them.

THE sARArosA IckET
How I, s,..d. PoIiue.I Anaiy.is.

ALBANY, Sept. iS--Perhaps the most curious
feature Of the Saratoga convention OF Tuesday
and Wednesday. was the fact disclosed by the
only G~overnorship ballot. that a majority OF the
delegates from the two counties OF New YORK
and Kings voted for the upstate candidate ana
a majority OF the delegates up the state voted
against him. There are slxty-one counties ana
outside NJ two. New York and Kings. 1863 votes
were cast for Mr.. Coler and i27 votes only Tor
Mr.. Stanchheld. the nominee OF the convention.
In the two counties OF New York and Kings. 1877
were against Mr.. Coler. a resident oil kings
and one vote only In his favor. In other words
the upstate delegates and the New YORK CITY
delegates both voted not for but against their
respective representatives.
Another curious coincidence Is The fact that u
contains the name OF no candidate who has ever
been elected to n State onice. but the names OF
those whose selection Is reminiscent OF PAST de-
The feats. year 1895 was one Of Democratic dls-
aster In New York. On the ticket OF that year
was John d Judson for State Comptroller, and
Russell r. Stuart for State Engineer. Their
names now reappear Ave years later. Mt. Jud-
son running this year for State Treasurer and
Mr.. Stuart for Engineer. Stuart was defeated
by "a, 900 majority Ave years ago and Judson oy
5000. The Democratic ticket OF 1898 was an
other loser. II contained the names OF Edward
g. Atwater for Comptroller and OF Thomas r
Con way for Acknowledgement. Both were de-
fested. but they reappear as candidates Tor 'he
same ofioes this year, The candidates Tor toV-
ernor, IAeutenant-G Governor and Secretary OF
State have all been members OF the Legislature
but in all oases a. members Of the minority side
In the Legislatures in which they participated
and without influence In shaping State legis-
lation.
The Democratic ticket Is also open to the
grave objection that II contains no representa-
tiv, OF the great metropolitan district OF New
York and tributary counties. in which t
per cont. OF the vote OF the State Ii cast. and In
which the arRest material interests are In
cluded. Despite the frequent Democratic out
cry for home rule. tho largest political con
stltuency In the United States. larger in voting
strength than many OF the States which Bryan
carried. is entirely ignored.
Another element Of weakness IN the ticket
nominated on Wednesday Is personal rather
than political. The Republican nominees with
the exception OF Mr.. 0dell and the candidat,
for Comptroller are the present incumbents OF
the on oes for which they are running. and theii
administration has been so generally satlsfao'
tory that there Is no ~pretence OF individual op'
position to them.

A Gem From the Saratoga Platform.

This sparkling passage redeems and
renders memorable the New York State
Democratic platform OF 1900;
w. maintain tina, the Constitution follows the
nag over every Integral part Of the United States
II the makers Of the Saratoga platform
had maintained that the Constitution fol-
lows the flag over every part and possession
OF the United States. they would have said
something that meant something, even
though their proposition was unsound.
But in declaring that the Constitution.
with Its requirement Of uniform taxation.
follows the flag over every " integral" part
Of the United States, they simply affirm
a truth which nobody denies. and which
1t Is unnecessary TO state.
An integral part Of the United States
Il a State Of the Union.
Alaska Ia not an integral part OF the
United States. although 1t Ia a territory
OF the United States.
Perhaps the Saratoga platform. however.
IA merely muddled in its language and
intends TO maintain that Alaska Ia an In
teeral part Of the United States. over which
the Constitution, with It's requirement OF
uniform taxation. follows h flag.
How. then. do the statesmen and juris-
~consults at Saratoga explain the circum-
stance that when the Alaska bill passed
the House on the 2sth Of last May, imposing
excise duties in Alaska which are as far
from being uniform throughout the United
States as Ia the Porto Rico tariff. not a
single Democratic Congressman from New
York recorded his vote against it?

ing concern 10 the Empire State and 10 the
country In whose political fortunes the
State has an ~unequalled influence, that
within the ordinary limitations OF human
nature the personality OF the candidates
Is OF little account.
The New York people In rousing them
selves in behalf Of the Republican ticket this

Mckinley Il Doing with the Philippines.

President Schurman OF Cornell University.
who was a member OF the first Philippines Com
mission and who will speak at the Cooper Union
Republican rally tonight. was at Republican
National Headquarters yesterday. He under
stands as thoroughly as any mar In the country
the Administrations policy toward the Philip
pines, and he considers imperialism a fictitious
issue.
II Washington or jackson or Cleveland, :
he said, had been In the White House instead
OF Mckinley. not one OF them could have es-
capped the obligations growing out Of the war
with Spain. or have solved them in a manner
substantially different from that adopted by
the Mckinley Administration You cannot
turn the Philippine Islands over 20 the Filipino
people because there Is no Filipino people.
There Ia only a medley Of four score different
tribes and races who cannot understand one
another's speech and who occupy different
places In the scale OF civilization and barbarism
The Kansas City platform advocates, first Of
all. establishing a stable government In the
Philippines. That IL exactly what the Mckinley
Administration has been doing. and when II
is accomplished the neIt step will be 10 train
the Fhpinos 10 govern themselves. Mean
while they have all the liberty and home rule
the separate communities are capable OF e1-
~ercisins. The issue Of Imperialism. in my
opinion. will prove as Ruthless against Mckinley
as IL was AGAINST Jefferson after his purchase

Mr.. Carl schurz Reaches the Climax.

Mr.. CARL SEIZURE Is a man OF much
ability and OF many engaging qualities
OF character, yet in American public life
there Ia not another man equally con-
s~plcuous who has so persistently revealed
throughout a long career deficiencies and
perversities, moral and intellectual, which
have forfeited for him public respect and
confidence 30 completely.
The rapidly with which Mr.. ScHURz
advanced TO a prominent place In our poll
tics. upon his emigration TO this country
after the unsuccessful German revolution
OF 1913, seemed to assure to him CONTINUOUS
progress In public consideration. No man.
native or foreign born. ever had the way
10 eminent usefulness made smoother for
him. Within four years Of his arrival
he was pushed into a conspicuous place
in the first campaign Of the Republican
party. In 1870 he was one OF the most
important delegates at the convention
which nominated ABRAHAM LINCOLN. by
whom he was afterward appointed Minister
TO Spain. The next year he was COM
missioned by him a Brigadier-Genera
in the Union Army and next a Major
General. His military career did not
discover valuable qualities of generalship.
but it gave him opportunity to exhibit an
ingrained discomfort with any situation
in which he happened 10 be which has
become his most distinguishing mark.
He was a thorn in the side Of LINCOLN
whose humorous rebuke OF his cantankerous-
ness is now famous. In 1888 he was temporary
chairman Of the Republican National Con-
vention which nominated GRANT. -Four
years later he was presiding over the boiling
Republican convention which nominated
GREELEY, but when, in 1919. TILpEN was
nominated. though apparently he was
committed TO him. he turned about again
and supported HAYES. who rewarded him
with a place in his Cabinet. In 1894 he
again reversed himself by coming out for
CLEVELAND. In lsee he was for MCKINLEY.
These political somersets had made
Mr.. CARL ScHURz a somewhat mdicrous
figure before the present campaign began.
but now he has executed a feat Of the kind
which outcaps all his past performances.
From having been a fierce opponent Of
BRYAN and 10 To l he has turned into the
ardent supporter Of the 10 TO l candidate.
And what sort Of plea has he put forth
in justification Of this latest %turn-about?
II Is that the party TO which he happens
now TO be opposed will be able to prevent
BRYAN from carrying out his pledge to
! overthrow tho gold standard and to re-
store immediately the free coinage OF
silver at the ratio Of Ia toll. That policy,
Mr.. ScHURz declared in 1896 and still
believes, 30 far a. in his astonishing in
stability he can be said to believe con-
secutively in anything. would cost the
country such a crisis as can only be brought
on by a sudden subversion of the standard
of value and Of the whole business credit. Z"
or course. the natural and reasonable and
only sure way Of preventing il is to defeat
