VERMONT STANDS FAST.

Vermont does not show signs of unrest" In
spite of much turmoil and agitation elsewhere
the Green Mountain State remains politically
placid. In Tuesdays election. it is admitted,
the controlling issues were local. not national
They We're even less local. perhaps. than per-
sonal for a few years ago, when Mr.. Clement,
the defeated Independent and Democratic can
didate for Governor. ran on local option plat
form, he appealed 10 a substantial public senti-
ment and polled u much larger vote though he
then lacked the Democratic party's indorse-
ment- This year the fight has been made on
individuals. and not on an impersonal system
Vermont suffers somewhat no doubt, as other
states have suffered. from close corporation
management within the ruling party and from
the cultivation of too intensive politics But
the dissatisfaction cannot have been either
, widespread or deep seated. since In Il year sin
gulary favorable 10 independent action and
singularly prolific in unrest" the powers thar
'e in the Republican organization have won
clear-cut victory at the polls.
National issues were OyershadOwed by local
issues, as we have said. But the lack of any
perceptible interest in the Democratic canvass
for members Of Congress undoubtedly reflects
the Indifference OF the public mind throughout
the country 70 the appeals OF Chairman Griggs
and his associates on the Democratic Congress
sional Committee In Vermont as in every
other Northern state, it is difficult 10 see how
case can be made out for any Democratic
nominee for Representative asking 10 be sup
ported on the ground chiefly that he can give
Republican President better assistance in
carrying out Republican policies than can his
Republican rival. Such topsy furry logic is not
understood in the Green Mountain State. We
doubt If Chairman Griggs can make Il under
stood anywhere outside the South. where elect
ing Democratic Representatives is habit quite
dissOciated from any real expression of opinion
or any processes in dlalectic.

FRENcH ~ GERMAN BArrLESHIPs.

EAEAtH IN ~ GEhMAA bAIILEShIPS.
Enough is now known about the plans adopted
by France for her next battleships TO render
possible a comparison with the most formidable
which Great Britain is building. They are to
have a displacement equal to the Dreadnought's
Gs.Oo0 tons), but their armament will corre-
spOnd rather closely with that OF the Lord Mel
son, which was launched this week, and which
with the Agamemnon) represents the latest
ideas OF the British Admiralty before the Dread
nOught designed.
France intends 10 give 10 each OF these new
ships four l2-inch guns and twelve whose calibre
is "a inches. The Lord Nelson will mount the
same number Of l2-inch guns, but only ten of
the next smaller size (having u callbre Of 90
inches)- In addition 10 the slight advantage ac-
cruing from this difference in the number OF
guns composing the primary batteries it is
claimed that France will gain something
through an improved distribution OF her ord
nance. The yet unnamed French ships will be
hfty or sixty feet longer than the Lord Nelson.
and IL will thus be feasible TO allow more space
between their guns and 20 swing them through a
longer are IN broadsde service II is not unlikely
therefore. that they will exhibit slightly higher
efficiency than the Lord Nelson and the Agamem-
non. At long range. however. they. must prove
inferior TO the Dreadaought which will carry
ten l2inch guns. and for that reason the policy
which Is being pursued will mystify most naval
experts.
The wisdom of the course which the Kaiser
is said 20 have adopted also begins TO appear
questionable. IL is unOflcially announced that
he will put sixteen ll-inch guns on the next
German battleships, and there has been talk
about mounting them so that twelve can be used
for broadside fire. An anonymous correspondent
Of "The London Tribune" pointed out a few
days ago several reasons for skeptlcism concern
Ing the proposed arrangement Apparently
there are only three ways OF mounting these
guns which would accomplish the result Some
OF them might be placed IN superposed turrets
for instance. but that is plan which has never
met with favor in Europe. and does not seem
practicable in the present case In the Amer.

AFRAID or ITS OWN POLICY.

The New York Evening Post" after many
months of strenuous effort TO prove that If the
Republican party had any decency and cher
ished any hope of success In the coming cam
paign 1t must nominate Charles f. Hughes. is
evidently afraid that the Republicans may
possibly measure up 70 the standard of moral
ity and wisdom which II has fixed for them
and that the reform forces IN the Republican
party. after having won control Of the organ
zatiOn under Governor Higgins's leadership
may. by the Governors own desire ask Mr.
Hughes to accept a nomination: for II Is IN a
panic lest he become q candidate and is insist
ent in trying 70 persuade him that Republ-
can nomination can have no attractions
That is just about the way we thought The
Post would act 1t was using Mr.. Hughes's
name. not 20 make him Governor, but 10 hurt
Governor Higgins and break down the Re
publican party. II urged him only because it
thought there was no chance for him.
The nomination Of Mr.. Hughes would be
real calamity for it. because it would have
difficulty in opposing him. and even the defeat
of Hearst would be bitter pill If achieved at
the cost Of a Republican victory II would be
so much pleasanter 70 have a candidate of the
Quigg element and shout with a clear con-
science for Mr.. Jerome! That alluring prospect
does not come nearer. The friends Of Gov
ernor higgins will probably control the state
convention. Nobody believes that Mr.. Hughes
would let himself he used as the candidate of
the QUgg faction 10 undo his own good work
and II IS clear that If he enters the field at all
il will be in response 10 the unselfish request
OF Governor Higgins The daily Increasing
probability that the Republican party, whether
under Governor Higgins. Mr.. Hughes or some
body else, will stand for the best type OF citi-
zenship and public service is obviously worry
ing to our neighbOr \ real wicked ReDublican
party would be much more To its taste.
BY the way, has The Evening POST which
can say nothing too bitter and belittling OF
Governor Higgins. noticed the tribute recently
paid TO him by It's former distinguished editor,
Mr. Horace White? In an interview given TO
The Spokane SpOkesman-Review," which we
reprint In another column. Mr. White declares:
Governor Higgins is fairly entitled to renomi-
nation and reelection" He says the Governor
has been iE trying position IN the face oS
opposition in his own party. and adds: "Mr
Higgins is an honest man, and the organiza-
''tiOn has fought against him for that very rea-
SOn. IL the Republican party of the state Is
fit 20 remain in power IL will renOminate him.
"and under ordinary circumstances the people
would re-elect him" Can II be that ''The
Evening Posts" disSuasiye attitude toward Mr.
Hughes Is, after all, not caused by reluctance
to see Republican nominated TO whom II is so
strongly committed, but by a newborn conyic-
ton Of the ripe wisdom and sound Judgment Of
its veteran editor?

Ryan may have been rendered In entire accord
with the demands OF the business and the Penal
Code. Ii is, however, beyond dispute that Mr..
Ryan has politico-busness interests. however
legitimate they may be. and Mr.. ouigg serves
them.
Mr.. Ryan is Democrat. Is a Democrat the
proper arbiter OF the destinies OF the Republi-
can party in this county? Mr.. ouigg is an
agent of the lnterborough- Metropolitan Com
pany. Is an emplOye OF the traction monopoly
a proper official adviser of the course 20 be
taken by New York County Aldermen and As
semblymen relative 90 that monopoly? Mr..
Ryan has worked hard 10 control the Demo
crstic party. and is still powerful In one wing
OF H. Having had his bold over bis own party
weakened by the defeat OF Judge Parker. is
he now 20 be permitted To recOup himself by
putting his man In local command OF the Re
publican party? Mr.. Quigg processes great
horror Of Hearstism and a pure desire 10
strengthen the Republican party TO tight it.
Nothing. however, would tend more powerfully
20 make Hearst Governor than the subjuga-
ton OF the Republican party well the
snt-Hearst wing OF the Democratic party 10
the influence Of Mr. Ryan. That is what Mr..
Quigg's success means, no matter how artfully
he may seek 10 obscure the issue.

Entirely aside from these considerations there
are others which awaken doubt in regard TO
the utility Of ships like those under discussion.
The belief prevails rather generally among ord
nance experts that greater accuracy of aim can
be secured in broadside fire by limiting the
number OF guns. Just where the dividing line
should be drawn il is not easy 10 say, but 1t
is by no means certain that in this particular
twelve guns would prove as effective as the
eight which the DreadnOught will be able TO
