RUSSIA'S TROUBLES.

Russias troubles continue to multi
| ply. Her armies are being sorely
| pressed by the Japanese Her navy
| has been badly crippled. Violation OF
| the rights Of neutrals has brought
about complicated and delicate stu
alton with England All the powers of
the world are waiting to see whether
further depredations are to be com
mitted by the great autocracy against
their commerce and are preparing to
insist upon a respectful recognition Of
the privileges to which all neutrals
are entitled in time of war Internal
troubles have arisen and the strong
arm OF Russian despotism has not
been able to suppress them. The per
secuted Firms and Poles at the first
opportunity are ready TO seize upon
the freedom which was theirs before
the yoke of oppression was put about
their necks. The Nihilists and other
reyolutionists have again become ac-
tive. And now assassination has
again come. NJ Plehve is dead and
the lives of other high officials have
been threatened.
The world seems to have little sym.
pathy with the Russian government. |
Its despotic bureaucracy does not ap- |
peal 10 those yearnings of the heart |
which hope for better things for com /
mon humanity. Yet no one but the
believes in assassination as
a means to right the wrongs of hu
manity, be those wrongs real or i'm
aginary The killing of officials will
not destroy the Russian system of
government The crime of the last
homh-thrower, If history furnishes any
lesson, can only injure the cause
which he dreamed he was serving.

ONE VIEW OF THE ISSUE.

The New York Herald, which sup
ported Mckinley in 1896 and 1909
made the following editorial comment
ne day after the delive. "f P-as'lel;
Kooscyei,'s specs accepting mis- NOM
inatiuh
TIE issue noa- - betweel Eo1se
welt, /. e., Imperialism, and Parker, i
e., constitutinalism
That Mr.. Roosevelt has become i'm
pressed with this truth is evident
from the singularly calm and conser-
yatiye tone of his speech Of yesterday
accepting the nomination
The keynote" of his address and
of Speaker Cannons speech in mott
fication was let well enough alone. "
incidentally the president asserted
the Jeffersonian principles Of equal
and exact justice to all men and OF
friendship with all nations. but the
special stress which both he and Mr..
Cannon laid upon the tariff may indi.
cate an intention TO select this as the
chief issue in the campaign.
With the familiar assertion about
the prosperity and high wages of re-
cent years being maintained under the
Dingley tariff is coupled the admis-
sion that whenever the need arise"
the schedules should be altered, but
only by those devoted to the principle
of protection, for otherwise the
changes would amount not to readjust-
ment, but to repeal" The threadbsre
plea also reappears for minimum
duty Sufficient to cover the difference
between the labor cost here and
abroad" although it is notorious that
many protected commodities are pro-
duced here at a cost which admits Of
their being exported to undersell the
foreign manufacturers in their own
markets.
On the currency question Mr.. Rooso-
welt confnes himself for the most part
to asserting that his party has been
faithful and continuous in its support
of the gold standard. He is incon-
sistent. however in declaring that
hardly ever before have the expendi.
lures and income of the government
so closely correspOndcd" and in the
next breath admitting that for the fis-
cal year just ended the surplus reve-
nue. was sufficient to pay fifty millions
for the isthmian canal and still leave
a balance of nine millions. Mr. Can.
non. too. while pointing with pride"
to the undenisbly better record Of his
party on the currency question. omit
ted 10 mention the fact that the silver
purchase law Of 1890 was a Republi-
can measure.
After all. neither platforms nor
speeches Of acceptance make the is
sues on which political campaigns are
fought. The people define the issues
for themselves. The Democratic plat
form of 1900 declared that the Philip
pines were @the paramount issue Of
the campaign but the people said that
AIR. Bryan's currency views were the
issue and voted accordingly. So in the
present campaign. whatever platforms
or candidates may say. the voters say
that the real issue lies between i'm
periaiism as personiied in Mr.. Roose-
welt and the constitu;iOnaiism for
which Judse Parker stands.
