THE COMING ELECTION
 
From Current Literature)

(nFom current Literature.)
 Now that France has arrived at the threshold of a presidential election, r1- mors Of plot to capture the execu- tive ofnee in the interest of a clerical monarch1st coalition fill the radical press with excitement Even respon- sible and serious dailtes like the Iemps and Figaro recall the popular de- lus1on that a French president is but nsurehead in tone suggestive of dismay. The election of the presi- dent of the republic for the seven years to IoiIoW, asserts the daily last named, is of capital importance on the Of great decisions to be taken in foreign politics. The aIlusion here is to the determination of the extreme groups to wage war upon the very idea of "dual alliance president
 The socialist leader, John Jaures, is cred1ted with a purpose to ascertain once for all the basis of the alliance between his own country and Russia. A FTench president, he complains, has hitherto been but a creature of that mysterious pact The republic of Iib- erty, fraternity, equality, complains his organ, the Paris Humanite, is in close alliance with the 'tarch-despot of the world. Upon what terms? Vain ly have the great dailies of Europe speculated upon this theme The pres identia1 election is to be utilized to shed a little light upon it. There is not the slightest possibility, aver Ger man organs, and especially the Berlin kreuz-Zeitung, that serious French statesmen will consent to any discre- tions Of the kind demanded by the so- cialists. Europe may be in the throes of fierce war when tho contest begins. France may be called upon to take sides with her ally in the supreme contest of her republican existence. But the secrets of the dual alliance will be kent.

HOURS OF VISION.

 They come sometimes without our Knowing what brings them. There is always cause, but we are not a1- ways conscious Of 1t. have had some Sabbath mornings that rose upon me with healing in their wings, after a troubled week. I could scarcely tell why I was troubled. but the minds fruit was not sweet. Yet when the looked down upon the bay, and across at my morning eignaI,-the star on Trinity church, symbolic of the star that hung over the spot the child Jesus lay,-then I felt that it was an elect morning. And when I went into the street, all the trees-f it was sum- mer-were mur1nuring to me; all the birds were singing to me; the clouds were bearing messages to me; every thing was kindred to me. All my soul rejoiced, do not know why. :: We do not underS tand the reason Of these hours; and when they come with out volition or preparation on our part, they seem more like a sheet let down nomena. I like to think that they are divine Inspirations. Such poetic fllu- sions help to make truth higher and better.

 The tariff will be cautiously and, we believe most reasonably revised; upon moderation depends the fate of the Dem ocratic party, as its leaders know. But no legitimate interest need fear; business will not be disturbed or har- assed; the country and it's institutions will be the chief consideration with the next president of the United States, who has shown that he Is a clear-slghted, sagacious, sensible man, inspired by a patriotic devotion to the country.

The administration that will be ush- cred in next March will be a sub ject has never shown a capacity or willing ness to cooperate with men who will not hold their will and desires sllbor- dinate to him. In whatever situa.- tion his lot is cast he desires to be the whole thing. and that is going to be very difficult at Washington. It may be accomplished, but not without many tenpests and much bitterness. He is a man of high character and no one can doubt he is sincerely patriot ic in all his purposes. We hope he may be restrained from laying his hands too violently on the protected industries and labor of his country and that his. administration may not in consequehee be characterized by the calarr1dtous results which his policies so plainly threaten.

Determined to Prevent the Success o1
 Roosevelt.

The expected happened. The Re- publican party had its vote fairly ev- enly divided by the t-Progressive's split on the face of the returns. But even that is not exactly correct interpre- tation Of the returns. All over the country voters by the tens of thous- ands in Republican states while avowing perfect confidence in Presf- dent Taft, cast their votes for Gov Wilson, in order to make Sure that the Roosevelt movement should come nothing. The total of these votes, frs country over, probably cannot be estimated in figures of less than sev- eu places. A round million would probably be an underestimate. The result, as announced to-day, shows that this determination to prevent the success of the Roosevelt movement was successful beyond the imaginings of those Republicans who contributed to the success of the Democratic cam dictate.

The Democratic party exhibited great wisdom in the selection of woodrow Wilson as its nominee. In no perfunctory sense may it be said that he is "a gentleman and schol- ar" Beyond that, he has shown him self capable of arousing great enthu- siasn and of attaching to himself friends and supporters as with bands of steel. He inspires loyalty. He ac- prove a successful president. That he will be the Herald sincerely hopes. He has been the leader of party; he now becomes tn prsident of the whole people.
