All tho work dono by the republicans In that contest, all their caicfully laid plans and mastery of details were In the end nullified by ono Ill-timed nd injudicious phrase, and In every sub sequrni campaign tho secret watchword of Mch national chairman, the warning ever beforo his eyes, has been: "Hemeuiber Hun. bard'" The brief spec h of Dr. Ilurch tru In which be used tli.i phrase, "Hum, Romanism and Rebellion."

Trior to that speech party managers eagerly sought nnd encouraged Mth ui iiuesiU 11 any and all public de.'lara. lions in favor of their party or Its candi dates Today they censor !I0 per cent of ill tho campaign speeches delivered, nnd carefully consider tho possible reception and effect of every public utternnco before they permit It to bo made. The business affairs of the great polltlral parties lire entrusted to national commit tees, composed of one member from each state and territory, who arc elected by the delegates to tho na'tiomil conventions at the time tho conventions aro held. Tho chair man of n national committee Is always the cholco of the nominee for president and he Is the supremo power In planning and con ducting the campaign. Candidates for pres ident, with few exceptions. make no rpeeches or public appearances nnd write no political letters during a campaign with out the ndvii-o and approval of the national chairman of their party. The exceptions to this rule have all been defeated. In thin connection It may be recalled that Illatno was In Now York contrary to tho advlco of Senator Quay when the Hun-hard tucldcut occurred. tirttlnu; Dimvii to llunlnt'N. National headquarters nro opened soon after tho candidates aro nominated. The national chairmen appoint various sub committees and assign members of tho na tional committees to certain specific work, und then for four or five weeks every man who Is to take part in tho management of tho campaign Is expected to work from twelve to njghteer, hours eycry. day. The, first and most Important work Is to collect money for a campaign fund. That duty falls to the chairman nnd the treasurer of the national committee. Circular letters ami personal letters are sent out to Individ uals and tp great corpqratlons. Many of the great corpornto interests contribute to both campaign funds, that they may have friends In power, no matter what the result may bo. Largo contribution!) are also obtained by the personal solicitation of the ehulrman nnd tho treasurer, both of whom must havo nn extensive acquaintance among men of largo wealth. Hecttuso of tho civil service regulations no money Is raised by political assessments. Every dollar received Is, in theory at least, a voluntary contribution. Tho management of n national campaign Is probably tho only business In the world involving tho collection and expendlluro of millions of dollars In a period of three mouths that is conducted without tho as Flstanco of n bookkeeper and at tho same timo managed without extravagance. The chairman Is tho only man who knows to a cent how much money Is received and how much paid out, because ho alono handles tho secret service nnd emergency funds. Tho bulk of tho money, however, Is turned over to tho treasurer, who keeps It In bank nnd draws checks for nil bills presented to lilm with proper vouchers nnd audit. I-'liut in lmportutico In tho mans of work that confronts the campaign managers when they open headquarters Is tho preparation of literature, A great variety of political Information, well written nnd arranged, must bo embodied lit small books, circulars, loiters, posters ard pamphlets. Many ex pert writers aro employed and well paid, whllo tho mass of stulf submitted by out siders is carefully examined and such as proves avallablo is accepts and paid for. Kxpcrts nro employed to search tho records of congress nnd tho departments in Wash ington for facts and figures that may be useful aud convincing. Tho chief document Issued Is known ns tho campaign text book. One million or moro copies aro printed In less than ono month. Tho volumo Is called a text book because It supplies tho informa tion used in political addresses by the hun drads of men employed to make speeches during tho campaign. t,'ot of I'rlntliiK. A great quantity and variety of other lit erature, Including pooms, songs, condensed statistics about llnnnce, coinage, tho tariff und other lssuus, nnd speeches In congress of prominent party leadeis, Is selected uud crough printed to supply every voter in the country. Tho cost of printing tho llfor uturo of ono party, the matter selected by the national committee, varies from Jtno.ouO to 1250,000, and tho expense of dis tribution Is. nearly us much. While tho ehulrman of tho national com rolttco uud his asststnuts uro preparing the lltorature, they havo in operation a "speakers' bureau," whoro men aro em ployed to malto speeches at any placo to which they may bo assigned. A few promi nent party leaders, senators nnd congress men volunteer their services for n limited number of speeches. They expect no com pensation, but their traveling expenses are paid from headquarters. Tho great army of iprakerB of lens reputation, tho men classed ns "hpellblnders," nro hired nnd paid by tho national committee. With fow ex, eptions their speeches pass through tho hands of n careful censor beforo tho men are sent out. The pay of these speakers langcs from $r00 for ono speech down to t0 a week and expenses, tho prices bo lng regulated by the reputation of the speaker und his ability to interest and hold an audience. Theso men aro held to strict n- count lii tho matter of expenses and are required to present vouchers with their lulls It sometimes happens that popular ora tors, whole volunteor services are gladly incepted, prove very costly campaigners. No ono at national headquarters would pre mino to question their expense accounts, lu 1S5S a very popular volunteer speaker turned Into tho Chicago headquarters of bis party an expenso bill of 11.200 for n trip to a nearby state, whero he mado ons speech, $1,000 of this sum representing, It Is Raid, his losses at poker whilo on the trip. Tho account was paid. Arrangements for public meetings to which hired or volunteer speakers nro de tailed aro mado through state and local committees. Ftom theso minor organiza tions tho demand for outaldo speakers Is always in excess of tho supply. Tho man In charge of tho speakers' bureau Is In dally communication by tele graph with his army of orators. They re port to him whero they are and how thoy aro received. In addition local leaders report to him upon tho speakers and tho result of their offorts. If a man proves dull or unsatisfactory in ono locality be Is Immediately ordered elsewhere' or re called. Value of N-uinprr. Campaign managers depend to some ex tent upon tho newspapers for information about political conditions In remote sec tions of the country, nnd tho clipping nnd rending buroau at headquarters Is uu Im portant dotal!. The press commltteo or trusted subordinates have also to deal with tho owners of scores of small papers who demand u cash consideration for support ing tho ticket. Most of this business Is regarded as blackmail, but party manager submit rather than risk the loss of a few votes In a close state. Tho owner or editor of such a paper goes to headquarters and makes n statement as to tho circulation and Influence of his publication, and then offers to publish a certain amount of ad vertising during tho campaign and support tho ticket for a fixed sum to be paid In advance. Ho usually has some friend In tho local organization to speak a good word for him. If his domand Is not too extravagant the support of his publication Is secured by paying him for tho adver tisement flvo or ten times Ills customary rates. Hy tho end of August tho campaign work hero outlined has been arranged so care fully that It goes forwnrd In charge of subordinates at national headquarters with fow hitches or Interruptions. The chair men of tho national committees now take stock of their funds. They usually want more money nnd often n great deal more They send forth letters nnd appeals alarm ing In tono nnd call together rich and liberal givers of tho party. They always manago to replenish tho treasury. While they aro gathering more funds they have trusted experts at work gathering reports from state, county nnd district commit ted of tho probable vote that will be polled for tho candidates of each party. Careful calculations arts made and In n few days tho experts hand to tho national chair men condensed nnd detailed tables show ing how each stato will vote on election day If the first poll of the votes was ap proximately correct. Tho accuracy of thcKO early forecasts would astonish tho general public aud they nro not guesses, but careful mathematical calculations based on reports and records. Men who become ex-pert at this work command high pay. These figures disclose to the chair men tho doubtful states nnd tho weak points. In their plan of campaign. Within .1 week they have doubled tho number of speakers In certain sections, flooded entire stntcs with new litcruturo and Issued the most extravagant but positive statements about tho outlook in other localities In tho hope of influencing those voters who want to bo with tho winning party. l'nttlliK Out thf Moih-j. , hon this stngo of u national campaign Ih reached tho expenditures aro limited ouly by tho amount of money on hand or In prospect. If tho funds aro ample, $30, 000 u day or moro Is paid out from head quarters. If necessary to economize speak ers are laid off, literature curtailed and stato committees notified to expect no fur thor financial assistance. In nny oveut tho chairman of each national committee puts nsldo an emergency fund, which may bo J1OO.O00 or $1,000,000. This fund is kept in cash ready for Instant use, and tho amount of It Is known only to the chaliman. If nny record of payments from It Is kept the entries arc merely lump sums sent to state or city. Stnto and local leaders, In addition to tho routine Information from the national chairman, havo organized and perfected a vast secret service for their own informa tion. They send out secret ugonts from headquarters to report upon conditions Wiere results are In doubt or local man agement unsatisfactory. Thus they de termine tho points whero extraordinary otTorts may win a victory. lu this work the secret service fuud 1b expended. Wherever a reliable worker Is able to show whero ho can get a certain number of votes for tho party If supplied with a certain nmount of money for extra work tho money is provided, if tho national chairmen havo it. This work Is called "still hunting," and tho details of It are never mado public. There Is no Intention on tho part of the writer to convey tho Impression that any part of this work Is bribery or the buying of votes. Under present political conditions lu this country a man who went to the headquarters of a party and proposed to huy nnd deliver nny number of votes would bo put out In a hurry. Hut when a tried and trusted party worker says bo enn carry a city, county, ward or district If he has so much money for expenses ho need not submit nn Itemized account of the ex penditure. 1)11 H of Anxiety. Tho last ten days of a campaign are dayn of anxiety to every manager unlesa the political situation so favors ono party that no accident or error could possibly change tho anticipated result. That Is tho period when every posslblo precaution is taken to avoid a second Ilurchard Incident and when secret sorvtro work is prosecuted with vigor on both bides wherever It promises to aid In tho general result. Tho expert calculators nro kept busy, final polls arc made and reports aro obtained from every section, nnd unless the contest Is going to bo very close experienced managers in na tion and stato can tell within a few hundred or thousand votes how the election is going. The figures upon whlrh they rely are never made public. Tho fight toward the oud Is often largely bluff, each side claim ing everything In order to influence every hesltutlng voter who wants to vote with tho winning side. No matter how certain a result may appear before election, there Is no lotup In work while tho money hold: out, no rolaxatlon of vlgllanco anywhere, becauao every campaign manager with a reputation at otaku remembers Ilurchard. The money expended by tho national committees Is ouly a small part of tho total cost of tho campaigns and elections throughout the country. In tha larger states each party organizations speuda from $100,000 to upward of $1,000,000 work ing for tho stato tickets. Tho party ex penditures In large cities nro enormous nnd the expenses of thousands of candi dates throughout the country cannot bo aocertalnrd. Tho entire systom of cam paigning has been reduced to a matter of business lu this country and during the past twenty years the Increase In tho cash oxpcndlturo has been close to one hundred fold. Experienced politicians estimate that tho total cost of national, state and local campaigns nnd elections In 1900 will largely exceed $100,000,000. it may consolo the masses of the people to know that the major portion of the cost Is borne by men who live or profit by tho business of politics.

CHINA THE WORLD'S PERIL Views of an American Woman Long a Hcsident of Shanghai.

SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 13,-To cu AmeiKnn nn adequate cuiuprehcslou ol the tremendous populousness of Cnltia Is almcst impossible. This country has noth ing to approach It. Tho densest slums ol the great American cities with their teem ing tenements give but n faint idea of China's swarming communities. The e;y innulng diitritiH nro as overcrow. bid a our great Amerban cities. It is this vas. ui.d iNer-lnircustng population whuu ct.ii stltutts tho main danger to the civilized natlt,nj, ot a war which should involvo the whole Chines, people. Tho mire force ol numbers of these millions, unct.untul and unreckonable with any degree of accuracy, would wear down a vast army. An admiral of tho American navy, who has traveled in China, put tho caso tersely a few weeks r.go when ho said, that all the armies of the world might bo kept busy for twenty years killing Chinamen and thero would still be enough left to bo a serkus menace to mau Itind should the survivors unite In war. Smtlstlcs In China are tho merest gu;;3 work, but It Is highly probable that all given estlmatej fall short of rather than .xceed the conditions. Mr. Archibald Lit tle, the traveler, gave, In a recent lecture In Shanghai, an idea of tho conditions In the province of Szcchunn at tho present t . inc. Szechunn Is an Inland province, about GOO by 100 miles in extent, mada up of mountain ranges, a most unfavorable locality for farming, nevertheless tho popu lace supports ItHolt mainly ty the taising of tiny crops on mluuto plots ot land. Mr. Llttlo said that In traveling through it In any direction It was Impossible for days at a time to Hud a vacant spot largo enough to pitch a small tent upon, l're quently, he said, the Chlneso farmer would climb a (light of 3,000 stone steps to a piece of land no moro than ten or twelve feet square nnd this economy of spne. w'ent on to tho very topmost point of nil tho mountains. Whllo Mr. Little was traveling through Szechuan it boy of 9 or 10 years fell In one day with his travollug pnrty nnd plodded sturdily along all day, keeping up bravely with tho retinue, tak ing dust, bent and hill climbing as pa tiently as tho grown men. Walk I hit for it .loli. He was nuked, save for a loin cloth, nnd without food or money. At night Mr. Little, who speaks tho Inngungo, asked him where lfc was going, to which ho replied, "To Su Low, to carry ronl." "nut," said Mr. Little, "you cannot cirrj ct.nl, you arc too young." "Oh," said the little man, "I can carry fifteen barkcts In a day, fcr which I will be paid 17 cash (about l? cents.) "Havo you eaten today?" Inquired Mi Little. "No," sntd the bravo llttlo fellow, "tut I'm not hungry." As thero was ft ill about thirty mllC3 of hnrd hill road to bo gotten over before rraihlng Su Low one can conceive something of tho moral courage of that child. Amidst unutterable poverty, disorder on'" confusion of confusions, despite overpopula tion, pestilence nnd fumlne, tho Chinaman Increases and multiplies uninterruptedly. This Is In part due to tho universal desire 'or children, progeny who shall hand down the name and family blood thiough long generations. All tho miseries of existence havo no terrors for the Chinaman t-o long as ho Is raising children to worship at the nnccstrnl tombi. Ills Individuality he count? as nuught If. ho only may turn to his fam ily and with pathetic devotion die within tho charmed circle. Afck him how long he has lived in n certain locality and ho will unswer E00 or 1,000 years, meaning that for that longth of time his family has perpetuated Itself and left the 'rcrords of It 3 tombs there. If death claim his legitimate chil dren he looks to tho children of his con cubine or those of some relative whom he adopts to perpetuate tho family namo r.nd traditions, railing In this he has a recourse 'o a method which to occidental morality Is somowhnt stnrtllug. He hires for n year a friend's vife, who has a reputation for focundlty, hoping thus to repair tho for tunes of his lino and to escape heaven's tvorso curie, that of childlessness. Wonderful Itccii))crntl vo l'oivor. From llmo to tltno the Chlneso have raid tho penalty of tbolr conditions of life, nnd nnture, "auditing her accounts with n red pencil," has revenged herself with decimat ing plague and famine. Hut tho recupera tlvo ability of tho race nfter such I033 of life Is without parallel. Chlneso nnnnls, with every evidence of authenticity, state that nfter tho black plague of the four teenth century had swept away Its millions tho birth rate showed an increase that was almost Incredible. The birth of triplets throughout China was of common occur rence nnd Infnnt mortality decreased to a very small percentage. Loo for his children Is the dominant emotion In tho Chinaman's heart. Pa tient uuder abuse, ridicule und ill-trentmcnt of hlmtclf he will endure no harm to bis -hlldren. Lay n hand upon them nnd you ico him descending v.ild-eycd In multltudos from his mud hovels, every man with n heart full of sorrow and savagrry, bent on your destruction. It Is by appeal to this foellnc that tho secret society men of China nro now arousing widespread scntl--nont against all foreigners. Under tholr teachings millions of the eoollo class are coming to belie vo that all foreigners are kidnappers and that, tho eyes of Chinese children nru used for making medicine. Thero Is a btory being scattered broadcast at this moment to tho effect that the r'all rtads lay the foundation of tholr brldgof In children's bones. That belief Is nt the root of much of tho antagonism to tho building of railroads. All over tho coun ry the Chlneso aro guarding their wolli lest tho foreigners put' poison In them Less than .'00 yearn ago our ancestors hold precisely tho sarao superstitions at do the Chlneso today. During the fourteenth century they persecuted nnd burned nllve thousands of Jews for the supposed polB onlng of wells nnd during tho great mor tality caii.scd by tho bubonic plague In IUS tlHS-UfiO) tho Jews wero considered ne having brought tho fearful mortality upon the Christians and in Maycnre alone 12.000 Jews wero burnod nllvo by tho Infuriated people. It was reported nil over Europe that the Jows received poison from remote places, which they prepared with spiders, owls and snakes In order to destroy in children of the Christians. In puperstltlons and prejudices the China man Is today whore the European wnB five centuries bark. Owing to the tcverlty of tho purely animal strugglo for existence, his Instinct of isolation and his Impenetra ble egotism the Orleutnl has stood still while tho rest of tho world has advanced I'nder favorablo conditions he should have been ahead of us and this must be taken Into account In reckoning with him us a foe, for the seeds of a higher order of civ ilization are latent In China.

During tho Japan China war, we must remember, ho was asked to light for a cauao of which he knew nothlna. With small newspaper facilities and no common tongue (It should, bo homo lu mind that each of tho 1.S0O provinces uses a language peculiar to ttseir ml nlso that men from tho different provinces not only cannot converso with nch other, but usually, owing to tholr rlRnnlshncss, hate each other), poorly paid mil poorly fed, ho was hustled to the front md asked to fight for a cause of which he had never heard. Men who fight well are usually men who bcllcvo In their cause. It matters not whether that cause ba true ir not, tho fact that he believes It do ermines tho man's whole conduct In con lection with It. Events near Tekln recently 'tavo demonstrated that tho secret society men of China know how to bring every man, woman and child to arms when they desire to do so. Doing familiar with tho superstitions of tho people, they appeal directly to them, with the result that they can spread abroad such lnfurlntlng rumors r.a may yet prove a firebrand to tho vast orr.plre. There Is yet Bplendld metal In China, but hopo has gone out of the Chinaman's heart. Tho spirit of discontent Is dead within him.
