A Gllttering Campaign.

All lovers of the esthetic and the
beautiful should rejoice at the
kind of campaign Novelist Winston
Churchill is putting up in New
Hampshire. From his beautiful
country seat. Harlakenden House, in
delightful Cornish, he is managing
a fight for the Republican guberna-
torial nomination that has never be-
fore been approached hereabouts in
the essentials Of poetry and art.
We do not know exactly what are
the feelings of Hen" Putney, "Bin"
Chandler, and other hard-headed and
unromantic warehouses of the Gran
ite State over this matter; but we
can imagine.
Mr.. Churchill is not running his
campaign alone; far from Il. He
has adopted the English style Of
doing this sort of thing, and already
distinguished personages are at Cor
nish 20 indulge in tie game. Ac-
eOrding 20 present tally. Miss Ethel
Barrymore, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Harding Davis, and Melville f.
Stone, jr., are on hand, and others
are expected with every coach.
Gallagher" Davis, we assume, will
manage the dog-cart end of the
campaign, Mrs. Davis viii deliver
artistic posters, and Miss Barry
more will give the candidate lessons
in dramatic department on the
''hustings." Such a combination
would be difficult to beat but for
the sour old practical politicians of
the party VIII carry delegates
around in their pockets.
Whatever the result of Mr..
Churchil's artistic crusade, he will
have deserved the thanks of New
Hampshire for furnishing a new and
pleasing variety Of political tight.
With the beyy of beauties and galaxy
of trained intellects battling for the
cause at Cornish, the distinguished
candidate can hatter himself that
for sheer picturesqueness his cam
paign has all others in this country
beaten TO a standstill.

FRIDAY. AUGUST 3. 1906.
May Fan the Flame.

The most serious thing about the
bloody revolt that has broken out
in the Russian army at Sveaborg,
Finland, is the possible effect it may
have upon the rebellion which is
now seething in a subterranean sort
of way all over the great empire.
The fact that mutiny can become so
formidable as 10 seize and defend
a great fortress against the assaults
of loyal warships, with an estimated
loss of hundreds in killed and
wounded, shows how one spark of
uprising can set fire to other ma
terial if that material be already
soaked with the inflammable stuff
called sedition.
The Reds" of Russia will un-
doubtedly make much of this seri-
Gus incident. They would be stupid
not TO do so. Whether or not they
can roll the little revolt into a great
revolution depends, of course, on
the fiber Of other troops. If the
Car should lose but one complete
regiment- believe he would lose
his empire. 1t is not wholly the
physical force the army represents
that keeps the ever-threatened re-
bellion in abeyance; it is the moral
effect Of its loyalty that somehow
convinces the great mass of the
well-to-do Russians that autocracy is
not yet ready and fit TO receive its
death-blow. When that faith van
ishes, Nicholas may we'll fear for his
crown
This outbreak in Finland will be
put down, we presume. like all the
rest thus far, But its influence,
added TO the cumulative influence of
previous revolts, makes a still
greater burden for the tottering
government TO bear.
