of reactionary boicy that characterize the despotls
of the ears ministers Mr. White fixes upon the OPP
preston of Finland as the most terrible example oil
the power of autocratie rule and charges Nicholas
himself with responsibility for the outrage
The policy of the ruling mobiles in the realm so
forcefuly exenphfed by the ruthless treading down
of the liberties of Russia S most progressive people,
is due to an absolute indifference to, even antagon'
ism against, alEinfuenees of enlightened government
as White shows but in the ease of Nicholas, this
medievasm SIT with equal stubbcrness in his char
aeter is strengthened by an utter indifference to the
needs of his people, stolid ignorance of all condl'

his empire or of his people," writes White; "he

In the ighk of this intimate estimate of Nicholas

ELECTION FORECASTS.

According TO the New York Herad's election es-
innate, Parker will carry New York city by $4,000
plurality according to the Brooklyn Eagles he will
carry it by 10000 plurality while in the judgment
of the Tribune his plurality in the American metrop
slis will be about $4,000
Governor Odell, chairman Of the state republican
central committee, predicts that Roosevelt viii haze
plurality of 100000 in the state at large and Cord
Meyer, chairman of the state democratic committee,
appears to be equally confident that Parker will have
plurality of $4,000 Most of these forecasts assume
Iat Herrick, the democratic candidate for governor
viii run somewhat ahead of Parker, and that IIig-
gins his republican opponent, will run somewhat be-
hind Roosevelt.
The same wide divergence of opinion is shown
N forecasts of the result in the electoral college
The republican managers "claim" pretty much ey.
sry state outside of the "solid SOUTH" while the
democratic managers "claim" every southern state
and practically every so-called doubtful stste.
II does not follow that the newspapers mention
ed have not made an earnest and fair attempt t.
guage the numerical strength of the republican an,
democratic tickets. Campaign managers are pro
verbally prone to take rosy view Of their party
sEection prospects, and probably many Of them be
Eeve that the figures they put forth well founded
The vast disparity in the foregoing forecasts
provided they are the result of careful investigation
show at any rate that somebody is going to be great
F disappointed on election night However, sucl
forecasts constitute harmless sort of diversion

General Grosvenor, who figured out the result
SO closely in 1896 and 1900, has made public his
estimate for 1904, and it is equally satisfactory to
republicans though some of the more sanguine OF
the latter may be inclined to place the electoral
majority for Roosevelt and Fairbanks higher than
that claimed by the Ohio political prophet. How.
ever, whe shall all, including General Grosvenor
know more about it on November 8.

THE TREATY WITH FRANCE.

Decasse's move for treaty OF arbitration with
the United States was brought to successful close
Yesterday when the treaty signed aud now awaits
the ratification of the senate of the United States,
says the Examiner. Our first war was with France
1t was the irony of history that the troops under
Washington and Rochambeau, who brought down
the British flag at Yorktown, were in ten years
being marshaled for fight against one another
Washington came from retirement to command the
American forces that were to fight the French and
on sea there were several collisions. Peace, how
ever, was brought about and there was nothing to
mar the good will between the two nations until
the days of our own death struggle with one an
other when Napoleon III sought to establish the
empire of Mexico under the suzerainty CT France.
There are few possible points of dispute between
France and America The memory Of the services
France rendered America in the revolution should
prevent resoi to arms, but it is an inspiring ex,
ample to othernations of the world that the great
republic of theswest and the great republic of Eu-
rope have resolved that all matters of difference
that may come between them shall be settled in
courts of arbitration rather than by resort to arms
