MARYLAND and Kentucky.

In 1895, to the surprise Of the country.
MARYLAND and Kentucky went republican.
Mckinley carried the former by hand
some majority. and received twelve OF the
thirteen electoral votes of the latter.
Bryanism was the cause Of the two over
turns. Democrats who had never before
heen able to see any virtue in republican
policies turned now to the party of SOUND
money as against that committed to the
free coinage of silver. They defe'ded
their course by declaring that the democ-
racy of Mr.. Bryan was not the genuine
article.
Agencies figuring prominently in the
two overturns were the Baltimore Sun
and the Louisville Courier-Journal. one
the leading democratic newspaper OF
MARYLAND, the other of Kentucky. and
both we'll known and widely quoted
throughout the south. The national credit
was more to them than party regularity,
and they considered that menaced by the
platform upon which Mr.. Bryan stood
BY 1900, however, both the Sun and the
Courier-Journal had returned to the party
fold, and that year supported Mr.. Bryan.
Although the Kansas City convention
had reaffirmed the platform OF 1896
those two journals decided that free Sill
yer was no longer live issue, and tnat
upon other issues Mr.. Bryan was more
acceptable than Mr.. Mckinley. Maryland
remained republican. but Kentucky voted
for the democratic ticket
This year the Sun and the Courier
Journal have parted company. The latter
declared for Mr.. Bryan months before
the Denver convention, and since then has
been urging his case with vehemence.
In addition, Mr.. Watterson has under
taken special press service for Mr.. Bryan,
and has been in New York on that mis-
sion. He has accepted Mr.. Bryan on
the latter's general procurement against
the party in power.
The Sun has reached its position a little
more slowly. Reluctant to oppose it's
party again. 1t waited until matters had
taken definite shape before committing

things considered, the better man Of the
two for the Office Of President. It be-
lieves that the affairs of the country
would be safer in his hands, and there

Maryland. and the Suns deliverance
would appear to add to this confidence.

is just now keeping himself in ship-shape
for the campaigns fatigue by playing
golf. He recognizes the danger he runs
by being devotee Of game supposed TO
be only for the wealthy and the leisurely,
but he sticks to his daily exercise on the
links and is the better for it. While
everybody cannot play golf. there are few
cases where a man cannot walk a few
miles every day and harden his muscles.

The Count and the Captain.

Why not joint debate between Count
Okuma and Capt. Hobson? The former
Is described as q doctrinaire statesman.
Is Capt. .Hobson anything else? The one
man seeks Office through anti-American
agitation. The other. In office, seeks to
strengthen himself through anti-Japanese
agitation. Count Okuma is using his pen
and the columns Of a Japanese newspa-
per. Capt. Hobson Is using his tongue,
now in Congress. and now on the Chau-
tauqua entertainment circuit. Why not
bring the two men together on the same
platform, say at Hongkong or Kalama-
zoo, and let them have out their little
dispute face to face?
For II is their dispute. We are told
that Count Okuma does not speak for the
people of Japan in any of his anti-Ameri-
can suggestions. but only for himself-a
man OF ambition seeking attention and
q recovery of influence. We all know
that Capt Hobson does not speak for
the American people in his rawlings
against Japan. In Congress his words on
the subject go for nothing. while his
party refuses to write his views into its
formal creed. AS lecturer he is but an
entertainer. He convinces nobody. He

From the New York Sun.
Those Americans who are talking about
an alliance between our country and the
Chinese empire can hardly have given
the subject. any serious thought. We do
not want an alliance with any foreign
power, least of all with one that could
render no equivalent for the sacrifices We
might have to make. All we now want
OF shall ever want from China is the
open door; that is to say, the COM
mercial privileges that now are or here
after may be conceded to the most ia
vored nation" This the sum of our de-
sires is already assured to us by our
commercial treaties with the Picking gov
eminent. 1t does not follow that the
Japanese or the Germans, who are on an
equal footing, may not outstrip us in the
commercial field through the exercise Of
superior astuteness or energy. Legitimate
competition we must expect, and there Is
no proof that Japan is practicing any
competitive methods that are not legiti-

Young Turkey.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

A significant ripple from the reform
wave at Constantinople reaches this coun-
try in the recall of the Turkish minister
at Washington, Mehmed Ali Bey an ad-
herent of the old regime. Young Turkey,
it appears, is for the time being in the
saddle. Old Turks must view with alarm
and bewilderment the amazing ideas
which have lately become current at
Constantinople, where liberal newspa-
pers'' discuss affairs Of government and
talk about the sultan himself as though
he were the servant Of the people" and
not the sovereign ruler and the source of
power. Young Turks have actually had
the insolence to call upon the sultan to
turn over a part of his revenues for pub
lie use and to criticise the conduct of i'm
with the American word graft"
