BY
Newport r. L. July 26-To-day dawned cold and
gloomy, and toward the middle OF the afternoon it
began 70 rain, and although 1t was not a down.
pour. 1t sufficient to keep the cOttagers within
doors. This morning there was large gathering
at the Casino when it was expected that the wOm-
ems tennis tournament would begin, but again it
was announced that there would be no playing to-
day. the management deeming 1t best not to take
any chances with having the courts cut up. in view
of the approach OF the national tournament The
beginning of the wOmen's tournament postponed
for the third time, is not likely to take place to-
morrow, as tonight there is every indication Of
hard rain.
The cottagers had to do something at the Casino
this morning. and the women set to work selling
tickets for the Venetian fete. which is TO be held
at the Casino theatre Saturday afternoon and
evening For some time there much rivalry.

p0pULAR CAMPAIGN FUND.

The Republican Congressional Committee has
taken a novel and at the same time a highly
commendable step in appealing for financial
aid to the rank aud file of the party. 1t asks
for dollar subscriptions from Republican voters
and from ali other persons interested in carry
ing forward the Republican programme. 1t has
long been the habit i'm national contests to de-
pend for funds ON the corporations and ON a
few wealthy individuals. The collection of sub
sCriptions from corporate interests subject to
federal legislation was wrong i'm theory and
dangerous in practice, and public sentiment will
not be satisfied until Congress and the state
legislatures unite to suppress contributions from
corporations for political purposes Congress
failed at the last session to pass law pro
hibiting this misuse of corporation funds. but
it will doubtless repair the omission next
winter.
Meanwhile the old custom is being practically
abandoned, and the Republican Congressional
Committee frankly gives notice that it purposes
to ask the assistance and cooperation of Re
publican voters in conducting its canvass this
year after the new model If Republicans are
assured that they, not the great corporate in
terests, are the real power behind the manage
ment they will be drawn into closer relations
with that management, and will assume a re-
sponsibility for party success which they could
not feel when their aid was neither needed nor
solicited. The committees move should there
fore prove beneficial in arOusing direct and
personal interest in campaign work as well as
in cutting the entangling threads which have
hitherto tied up the management of the two
great parties a little too closely with corporate
interests

RUSSIA's NEW PRIME MINISTER.

The various utterances of Russia's new Prime
Minister since his appointment to Office have
confirmed the opinion and the expectation hith
eTto held of hinl-namely, that he will not adopt
any strong policy Of his own, but will be the
loyal executive of the autOcracy and the bu-
reaucracy in their renewed rule. Mr.. StOlypn,
so far as he has been known, has generally been
regarded as an honorable and upright man, sin
cerely desirOus of doing his duty, but he has
not been regarded as a strong man. Indeed, he
has himself confessed that as Minister of the
Interior he has been nothing more than a senti-
mel OIL guard, and not at all the commander of
the situation. Moreover, the fact that the
BialystOk massacre and other official Outrages
have occurred during his occupancy Of the Inte-
rior Office puts him in the awkward dilemma
Of having either to assume responsibility for
those things or 10 confess that they were done
in spite of him by men who were nOminally
his underlings. Either he would not or couId
not prevent them
1t will be recalled, also, that while Mr.. Stoly-
pin, unlike some of his colleagues, did not re-
fuse TO enter the Douma and TO respond to in
terpellations and while he generally treated
that body with respect, he created on several
occasions a distinctly bad impression and drew
upon himself the most violent expressions Of
dsapproval and wrath. On his first appear.
ance in the DOUma, in fact, he practically ad.
mifted fndt O1lclalS or the MINISTRY or t1e lnte.
rior, under his predecessors, had distributed
proclamatiOns calling upon the people to mas.
sacre the Jews. A few days later he admitted
that under his own directions famine relief had
been withheld from peasants who had been
guilty OF agrarian offences, and he sought to
defend such discrimination as both proper and
necessary. This gave great offence to the
DOuma, and led TO the adoption by that body,
by practically unanimous VOTE of resOlu-
tons demanding that all further relief funds
be controlled by the DOuma, and not ntrusted
20 men who would let women and children
starve because the men Of their families had
taken part in political agitation.
The most serious charge against Mr. Stoly-
pin was made fortnight ago by Mr. LuOff be.
fore the Constitutional Democratic Club of st.
Petersburg. IL was TO the effect that Mr. Stoly.
pin was one OF the chief assistants 81 the nOtO-
rlous General BOgdanovitch in the Organiza-
t1on OF 'pogroms," or massacres OF the Jews.
and that he was one OF those referred 10 nv
Prince Urusof in his recent speech In the
Douma. This accuse ton has not been proved
but neither has it been denied. It has, more.
over, been corroborated by others, notably by
Mr. TchernON, a well known Russian writer,
who has declared that while Mr.. Stolypin has
been Minister Of the Interior secret printing
Office has been maintained IN that ministry FOR
the publication OF anti.Jewlsh and other incen-
diary pgoclamations of The BLACK Hundreds.

rRE DEMoCRATIc pRoGRAMME.

In trying 10 encourage the notion that the
tariff is 10 be the vital issue in the Congress
campaign this year. Democratic leaders and
newspapers show a singular blindness TO polit-
cal signs and tendencies. Issues cannot be
created out of hand. They must represent some
actual clash of opinion and must be the out
growth of a genuine state of war between the
two parties 1t can hardly be said that the tariff
policy constitutes to-day distinct line OF ceav-
age between the two political organizations.
Fourteen years ago the Democratic party
won a great national victory on a low tariff
platform. It attempted TO translate that
platform into legislation and was driven
out Of power by record breaking majority.
The South long committed TO free trade. had
used the Northern Democracy as an instrument
20 overthrow the protective system. But the
country's eyes were opened by it's experience
with the tariff tinkers who framed the Wilson
German act. and the unprecedented prosperity
in trade and industry which followed the pas
sage Of the Dingley law in 1897 has pretty
thoroughly convinced the voters that, although
mistakes in detail may easily be made and
may work injustice and discrimination, the pro-
teetive system has. on the whole, been vindi-
Gated as a sound and helpful feature Of national
policy.
Few politicians. even in the South, talk now
adays about razing Chinese walls and making
states are beginning 10 develop manufacturing
enterprises and 10 feel the stimulus OF the tariff.
Southern leaders like Mr.. Bailey. Mr. TiIIman
and Mr.. Williams echo only balf-heartedly and
feebiy the fiery anti-tariff Trades OF Beck,
Vest Breckenridge and Mills. A manufactuF-
ing North is not aTrayed against an agricultural
West and South. and sectional bitterness no
longer finds an outlet in tariff agitation. But
If the Democracy of the South has in a meas
ure recOnciled itself 10 protection as a system,
the Democracy Of the North and West is also
drifting away from the belief that its sole mis-
sion in politics is 10 shave a certain percentag ge
of duties on imports AS we see IL, the Demo
cratic party hereabOuts is in the grip OF very
different ideas and is busylng itself about very
different objects. Are the Democrats OF New
York preparing to conduct campaign this year
on the tariff issue? On the contrary, they seem
10 be getting ready 10 nominate Mr.. Hearst
for the GOvernorshp and Mr.. Hearst has many
projects in hand which, in his opinion, over
~iadow tariff revision.
IN Massachusetts, there has been In recent
years a vigorous and persistent demand for
tariff changes. The Democratic party made
revision its chief issue last fall, after having
exEerimented unsuccessfuIly for several years

REGULAR AND GUARDsMAS.

Referring to the establishment of the camp
of instruction at Mount Gretna, Penn, where
soldiers Of the regular army were about to
have members Of the National Guard as their
camp mates, The Tribune recently called atten-
ton to the arguments which had been advanced
for and against the joint service, and said that
the result Of the experiment would be watched
with much interest That the National Guards
men should be able to carry as heavy burdens
and endure as long marches as their comrades
OF the regular establishment is not to be ex-
pected. The professional soldier. seasoned by
years of active service has the advantage for
these strenuous duties over the man whose mill
tary education was obtained in an armOry and
whose field service never exceeds one week in
year.
The National Guard officers knew, however,
that their men would do what was asked of
them without shirking and that every man who
went to camp with the regulars would endeavOr
SO to depOrt himself to win their confidence.
In return he feels that he is entitled to the re-
spect and the consideration which soldiers en-
gagged in the same cause owe each other Some
officers of the regular army will not recognize
this fact They critcise and patrOnize the citi-
zen soldier, and when the enlisted men of the
18th United States Infantry refused a few days
ago to salute the National Guard officers at
Gettysburg the slight should have been charged
to the officers whose conduct made the offence
possible. The citizen soldiers who took that
view of the felt strengthened in their
opinion when a day later a general officer of
the regular service refused polite invitation
to visit National Guard camp.
Occurrences of this kind reflect no credit on
the regular service, but do much toward widen
ing gap which never should have existed and
which it was hoped that the encampment Of
regulars with guardsmen would close

HARD ON ART MUSEUMS.
SIR Caspar PurdOn Clarke TALKS
of Wealthy Collectors.

Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke director of the Metro
politan Museum of Art. arrived here yesterday on
the White Star liner Baltic after short trip OF
recreation and business connected with the Mu-
scum.
Il have been really a flying trip abroad" said
Sir Caspar. Il have been back and forth between
London and Paris, and made a short visit 20 the
museum at Zurich. Switzerland. have made no
purchases to speak of. only a few things that
collected in London and Paris. 1 had never been
to Zurich. I went there chiefly to how the
museum laid out and get some ideas that will
be Of benefit in the arrangement Of the new build
ings for the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Sir Caspar said he thought the Hainauer cOllec-
tion, recently sold in Germany. the greatest
sale Of the year. He said he could not make any
announcements regarding the Museum until Mr.
Morgan returned to the city.
Regarding the high prices paid for art objects
Sir Caspar said:
The wealthy purchasers certainly are art lovers.
or they would not pay such high prices for works
of art, For example. take the purchase OF the
Kahn collection. Wealthy men wanted the cOIlec-
tiOn, and they bid high. Figures do not stop
man of means when he wants anything. This high
bidding makes it hard the museums. but eventJl-
Chasers either give their art collections to the mu
seums before death provide that the collections
be given To the museums by their heirs.
Sir Caspar said that buying pictures is to-day
question OF commerce than art

With nsurpation and Imperialism. But today
the Massachusetts faithful are being stampeded
TO leader with q new programme, and
If they nominate Mr. Moran, it will be because
they think he can win for them on more spec
facular and available issues. In Pennsylvania
the Democrats are engrossed with purely local
questions, while in Ohio, Indiana and the other
states OF the Middle West they have cut down
their fighting programme 10 a blind indorse-
ment of Mr.. Bryan's leadership and Of any
policies he may see fit TO frame for the party.
If the Democratic hosts are lined up this year

for cause they do not recognize.
