Political Points
Foolish cIamor

Some of the enemies of William ].
Bryan assert that IL he were elected
and a Democratic house were elected
along with him the senate is there to
balk all his attempts to overthrow Re-
publican measures and policies.
Among other things they say that the
Republicans Of the senate would per-
NIT no revision of the tariff in the
Democratic sense. If such is the case,
why then are they making SO much
foolish clamor?-Philadelp Record.

 Military experts who have closely observed the department of war type or balloons are becoming more com ~ineed that the future rating of nations as world powers will not be based wholly on the size of their standing armies or naval strength. but to some extent on the edlciency of their aerial neets. England. France and Germany are today wing with each other for supremacy of the aerial sea.
 At South Farnborough. the British war once has the most modern milf- tsrV balloon factory and hydrogen plant to be found anywhere.
 The equipment at this army ba1loon station consists of field and captive balloons. two dirigibles. a large hydro- gen plant for generating and compress- ing hydrogen gas into cylinders ana hydrogen wagons for conveyig the gas filled cylidsrA

DISCUSS OLYMPIC GAMES.
Press Comments from Viewpoint of In-

Press Comnsents from Viewpoint of In-
 ternatiOnaI Friction.
 London, July 27.--The London nnorri- ing papers continues to discuss the Olympic games from viewpoint of in- ternationaI friction developed, but with disposition more freely to recog- nike that there is much to be said for both sides. The Daily Mail says:
 After all, the number of unpIeas- ant incidents is surprisingly small. and the initial feeling may be removed by second thoughts and fuller infornia- tion. Perhaps with Olympic genes, as with peace conferences, they may not realize the highest hopes of their projectors. yet they help the world forward"
 On calm reflection, leading public opinion takes the proper view that from the moment Dr. Mur, in attend ance on Dorando, ordered him to be lifted from the track, he was out of the race. pr. Mur himself says;
 "Dorando had completely spent his energy when he fell. and if he had not been lifted up he must have lain on the track long after Hayes and the others arrived"
 Sporting Life calls for the compila- ton of an international code of rules to govern all future Olympic meetings.

 The evening papers publish an i'm. perial rescript, pointing out that owing to the previous condition of the coun. try 1t was impossible to apply . con. stitution, but that now the time had arrived to grant 1t to the people. The hope was expressed iri the rescript that the people would co-operate with the Parliament and the Sultan. The re- script concludes with the Imperial thanks for the popular manifestations.
 The principal points of the new constitution are:
 Personal liberty no punishment without trial: religious toleration; free press; equality of all Ottoman subjects; security of property: indi- viduaiity of domicile and abolition of torture The general assembly will consist of two chambers. the Senators ct be chosen by the Sultan for distins guished service to the State; the depu. ties to be elected in the proportion of one for each 60,000 inhabitants.
