in Rhode Island and Massachusetts two
rather novel experiments with the unit rule
have been attempted The Rhode Island con-
vention gave no instructions. and failed TO di-
rect the delegation TO act as unit Yet after
the convention adjourned six Of the eight dele
gates met and resolved to east the States vote
as 4 unit. The national convention will prob
ably frown on this evident usurpation OF power,
which is in no way justified by Democratic
precedent In Massachusetts there is 4 more
perplexing tangle. The Democratic managers
there made the mistake OF calling State con-
vention 10 elect four delegates-atlarge, and call
ing district conventions, entirely distinct in
makeup and held at later dates to choose district
delegates. In the call for the district conven-
tions no intimation was given that the delegates
named would be subject TO instructions from
the State convention. The State convention met
and, after performing its own work, assumed
10y resolution TO instruct the district delegates,
not as yet chosen, and TO direct them 10 vote
as a unit. At least six district delegates have
been named who propose to disregard the State
conventions action. Apparently the State man
ayers backing Mr.. Olneys canvass have de-
feated their own purposes; for they could just
as readily have had all the delegates chosen on
the floor of the State convention and then Sc
curely bound them under the unit rule
The scope and application of the unit rule
ought TO be defined more clearly by the Demo
cratic National Convention. About its use now
there are many misunderstanding and conflicts.
If the rule cannot be abolished as a relic of
ante-bellum days which has long outlived its
meaning and usefulness, it should at least be
reduced 10 ineligible terms and be applied
with some appearance of eXactitude and uni
formity.

TIE LATEST WORLD,S FAIR.

No great fair is ever complete in every detail
on the day appointed for the opening. The
enc which is now being held to commemorate
the Louisiana Purchase is no exception to the
rule. Nevertheless, in the condition OF the build
ings and grounds If not in the extent TO which
the exhibits are installed, 81. Louis seems to
have surpassed both Chicago and Paris. 1t
may not be judiciOus for visitors going to this
years show from a great distance TO plan TO
arrive much before June but there are some
indications that the reputation of the American
people as q nation OF busters has been Vindi-
Gated In q new fashion.
1t is not practicable to judge accurately the
quality of the industrial features of the ex-
position. The machinery, electrical appliances
the textiles and other manufactured goods
the products of mining, metallurgical art
and agriculture and the variety OF apparatus
which represents the operations Of the ma
uonal government are not yet fully in place
Moreover, hardly enough time has elapsed since
the international exposition OF 1900 to admit
or many important advances upon the material
civilization OF that day. There are Indications
however, that the participation of American
exhibitors, regardless OF section, has been lib
eral. As was TO be expected, Europe does not
make such extensive displays as this country.
There can be no doubt that the latest worlds
fair will exercise the educating influence upon
both the general public and representative bust
ness men which is the primary justification for
such undertakings. The latter would never nav
Tor themselves if picturesque and amusing at
fractions were not also provided. Perhaps these

the visitor TO st. Louis can count on finding
much entertainment from such sources. People
who have never been abroad cannot fail TO be
impressed with the revelations thus made OF the
quaint and beautiful costumes the architecture
and scenic charms of foreign countries.
The principal complaints which one hears just
now relate to the inadequacy of the hotel ac-
cOmmOdations in the city of St Louis, some
deficiencies in the provision of drinking water
and cOnveniences for public comfort on the ex-
position grounds, and a misunderstanding which
has arisen over charges for the power neces-
sary TO drive machinery on exhibition Favor
able comment has been elected by the admira-
bic transportation facilities which are available
for getting to and from the fair. The trolley
lines and the local service OF the Wabash sys-
TEN promise to be equal to all demands made
upon them during the next six months.

UNIT RULE VAGARIEG.

Democratic politicians seem bent on testing
the capabilities Of the unit rule. Various appli-
cations and misapplications of il have been
made in States which have already held their
conventions, and by the time tie roster of dele
gates 10 the Democratic National Convention is
completed other and still latent developments
in SIS practice may stand revealed. Here in
New-York the time hOnored and obvious usage
was adhered TO OF treating the State delegation
as an indlyisble whole. The action of the State
at 81. Louis rigidly predetermined by the
majority controlling the State convention. The
delegation was instructed 10 support Judge
Parker for the Presidential nomination and TO
cas- fits vote on all questions as a unit. New
York is TO speak in the national convention as
an undivided constituency-with single voice.
That privilege the convention allows, in accord
Rnce with the older Democratic tradition, TO
each sovereign State.
1t was the theory Of the State rights school
that each State. 10 emphasize its individual
sovereignty, should either instruct its delegates
or bind them TO harmonious action of some sort
through the unit rule. If a State had no choice
for the Presidential or gice-Presidential noni-
nation. il could at least make its full power
felt when the time for aiding or defeating q
nomination came. This is the attitude taken
this year by the Pennsylvania Democrats who
unlike their New-York neighbors, bound their
uclegaIon 10 no canuludle, Dur cOmpeued II 10
deliver q solid vote 10 whomever It eventually
favored. in New-Jersey 4 still different policy
was adopted. The State convention left the
delegates wholly unfettered by instructions. It
did not even command them TO vote as Il unit;
hut IL put It within the discretion of a majority
OF the delegation 10 invoke the unit rule at any
5uncture. New-Jersey, as a sovereign State,
passes on her authority 10 bind her delegates
10 the delegates themselves. This is a varia-
ton In practice which comes perilously near an
abandonment OF the Democratic theory OF in
Invisible State sovereignty. 1t allows the dele
cation, IL IT be split into three or more factions
TO scatter its VOTE and thus recognizes the right
TO representation OF the smaller political units
within the State From such situation Il IS
but step to the Republican practice-foIowed
tits year by Democratic conventions in Kansas.

Admiral Hoyosa speaks OF the landing at
Pitsu-Wo as having been made from the adj

months ago suggested IN this column that
the japanese might, while the mainland coasts
were icebound. mass troops upon the Elliot or
other islands, which could be rushed TO the
mainland whenever opportunity offered. That
plan seems to have been followed There is
