Mr.. Hills hopes are based upon sue

Hill will be a leading candidate for the

in his views from Bryan. He would make

the democratic platform, would awaken
the rubicund wrath of our Spanish Ameri-
can neighbours, who would regard it as a
deliberate threat Of invasion and con-
quest by the first democratic administra-
ton which might happen to get into
power. Hill made no proposition to scut-
tie out Of the Philippines and Porto
Rico. He knows that this nation will not
evade its great responsibilities there. His
talk Of expanding over adjacent territory
was designed by him to emphasize his
Jeffersonianism, but the great American
expansionist, had he been president in
McKinley's place, would have done pre-
cisely as that statesman did as to the in
sular acquisitions, jointly with congress.
The less democrats say about the "good
old democratic landmarks" the better for
them. The history. of the democratic
nurture and protection of negro slavery is
too plainly written to refer to that party
as the great champion of human freedom.
The democrats will court; defeat on

AS a country is great in It's great men

AS country is great in its great men,
so a university !; is strong in its good
teachers. The absence Of great men in a
nation is not more serious to the nation
than the absence of strong teachers to a
university. The departure of DR.. Burton
Of Minnesota is very grave loss to that
institution. DR.. Woodbridge defnitively
departs, and DR.. Burton may or may not
return. It may be that neither high
er salaries nor Improvement of, the con-
ditions under which they labor here would
have caused them to remain. But their
departure will serve to. emphasize the
need Of liberal increase in the pay OF
professors who can not be spared.

The United States census of 1900 shows
why the population of Canada increased

too many people to the United States.
The census shows that there are now in

only little more than 100000 people
1t IS wonderful We No that there has been any
increase at all in the Canadian popula-
tlon 1t is probable that eastern Cana
dams will continue to move across the
line in large numbers, but the opening up
OF the Canadian west will attract enough
settlers from the United States to offset
this tendency to some extent. 4

The reason of his withdrawal points a
moral. Nominally it is press Of business,
but men like Mr. Leighton always have
time for the doing of what they want to
do. The real reason probably, is that he
doesn't want to fight for the office, &C
cording to the rules Of the game of poll
ties of the ward. He doesn't want to be
alderman at the cost of humilitating per-
sonal solicitation for support, petty COM

reelected, or had a chance of a re-eIec-
ton, by dignif1ed canvass, Mr. Leighton
would probably consent to forget the
press of private business. .- ...
His retirement Is an argument for
electing aldermen at large. If the whole
city were to have a chance to vote for
him he would probably be reelected with
out great effort. But the local prejudices
and dissatisfactions of the ward in which
an alderman lives are often sufficient to
defeat the best "city father when that

The celebration yesterday Of the ami
versary of the birth of Robert Emmett,
the Irish patriot and revolutionist, shows
how long It takes nation to die. In
view of the present revival of Irish ma
tionalism it is, worth recalling that in the
period Of Daniel O'Connell, the national
spirit was dead. O'Connell himself was
not a nationalist, though for political
purposes he did array Celt against Saxon.
IF the reforms he was instrumental In
bringing about had been followed by home
rule Ireland would have been as loyal to
the British empire as Canada is.

The McAliister Meeting

Coburn hall was we'll filled, Tuesday
evening, to listen to the lecture of Rev.
E. S. j. McAllister of Portland, upon
the "Solution of the Modern Social
Problem
Mr.. r. T. Patten presided and in intro
ducing the speaker said that it was a
rare thing for Skowhegan people to have
opportunity to listen to an address from
an eminent speaker upon purely
economic subject.
The speaker began by giving his def
nitions of man, land, wealth, capital,
wages, rent, interest, justice, govern
ment, ETC. He also gave an analysis of
industrial associations, the social rights
of individuals, the offices of true gov
eminent and it's relation to the people,
etc. The following were laid down as
leading maxims: "He who owns the
land owns the tiller of the land" "That
always is wise that is just, and always is
enduring that is right"
The speaker depicted the economic
conditions of the times, drew compari-
sons with former generations, bore down
hard on political parties and exploited
his remedy for the economic and politi-
cal i'll of the times, among which were,
the initiative and referendum in enact
ment of laws, public ownership of GER
tam utilities and above all the single
tax-the land tax.
At the close of the address the speak
er asked and rather urged persons in the
audience to PROFOUND questions, and
several availed themselves of the propo
sition. Among those were, Messrs. r.
T. Patten, +. w. Allen, E. E. Greenwood,
c. A. Leighton, and Arthur Bussey.
Close attention was given the Portland
gentleman throughout He is a man of
