suddenly, and without the least
warning, there was burst Of fame
from the furnace-room that rushed up
through the engine-room and flashed
out about us. The flames spread with
the rapidity of an explosion, setting

There was the most terrible panic

AS the boat kept on her way the
breeze drove the flames toward the af-

o few seconds before the flames had
swept down upon the children who
were struggling about the ice cream

Victory.
While Il would be the sheerest folly
for Republican managers to accept the
Vermont victory as q certain augury Of
Roosevelt's election next November, or,
to relax in their efforts to insure that
result, it cannot be denied that the -
OOO plurality 10 a most reassuring and
because succession Of statistical coin

publican plurality in Vermont in Sep
tember has presaged a national Demo
cratic victory IN November. but because
the influences affecting the individual
units in one State in this election are
national in their nature and are effective
throughout the republic.
II the issue in the November election
were confined to the tariff question it
would be impossible to infer from Yer
mont's $1,000 Republican plurality
what would be the drift in New York,
Connecticut or Indiana. because the vo-
ters OF these three States study the
tariff question through very different
spectacles fr0m those OF the farmers Of
Vermont. From the day in 1861 when
her late Senator Justin 6. Morrill, in
troduced the war revenue tariff measure.
which bore his name in tho House Of
Representatives, Vermont has never wav-
cred in her support OF the Republican
policy Of protection. Other States have
wobbled. n the politicians have played
upon the credulity Of their Industrial
classes, but Vermont has stood a. firm
as her own everlasting hills.
But in the present campaign the
Democracy has chosen to thrust its ira
ditional clamor for free trade into the
background and has arrayed itself
against the American spirit Of asl1es-
sive. progressive expansion, Of which
Theodore Roosevelt 10 the living en-
bodiment.
To-day the Republicans stand for M
tional action, advancement and life: the
Democrats for national i0actiOn, retro

Such an issue appeals to voters in

him as to the best thing to be done
to preserve the honor and the dignity
Of the nation, Charles Warren Fair
banks was always foremost in the list.
He was summoned to the White House
night after night. and during q time
when the gravest matters were under
consideration the most important of all
the conferences were held in the Fair
banks home on Massachusetts, avenue.
There were gathered the senator's and
the cabinet officers who represented the
inner council of tile nation, the men
who possessed the absolute confidence
Of President Mckinley. 1t was in the
upstairs library OF the Fairbanks home
that some of the most important de-
cisiOns Of these trying times were first
formulated.
There were scarcely half 4 dozen OF
the big men e the nation present at
those historic conferences. and it is a
public service which Senator Fairbanks
has manifested to refer to the fact that
although he had been in public life less
than q year his value as a constant ad-
wiser of the President in the face Of
an indamed public sentiment and on the
eve Of almost inevitable war grew great
er day by day. Other men who partici-
pated in those conferences remember and
bear cheerful Testimony to the extraordi-
nary capacity OF the Indiana senator
for looking It oil sides Of question Of
public polio. and for giving his opinion
dispassionately, without the slightest sus-
picion Of personal bias and with some
thing like Q sacred Difference to the best
interests Of the nation.

ferences will never be written, ~ Q mat

and international law.
1t is 4 fortunate thing for the republic
that Q man Of this stamp should have
been chosen for the nomination. The re-
suit 10 that in the event Of the triumph
Of the Republican ticket, which now
seems absolutely secured, the President
next March will have had
the benefit Of more than three years Of
actual experience in the duties of his
Office, while the vice-president who will
take the oath Of ofiice at the same time
