The republican plurality in Vermont
is over 31,000. which exceeds the aver
age of the last three presidential years.
This is significant In Its bearingupon
the national contest.
The I'hiladelphla Press says that a
review of the September elections in
Vermont In presidential years shows
that since ln the republicans have
not carried the country in the following
November election if the Vermont ma
jority fell bdow 23.000. In ISSi the
majority wa- 22.701 and Cleveland was 1
elected the first time, and in 1602 it was
10.702 and the democrats won the pres
idency again. In every other presiden
tial year since lSGi the Vermont repub
lican majority In September has risen
above 2.VX") and the election of a repub
lican president has followed. Hut except
In the phenomenal election of 1.0'J no
republican candidate for governor in that
state has received so lar;:e a majority
as was given In Tuesday's election.
Four years ago the republican plurality
was over .'W.000.
The I'ress remarks that the only con
clusion that can be drawn from the
figures Is that the republican party Is
stronger with the voters of the en.t
than it has been in any presidential
election in forty years, the election of
four years ago, when conditions were
abnormal, alone excepted. It Is cer
tainly evident that the voters of Ver
mont have not been Inlluenced by the
democratic bugbears of imperialism
and militarism, that they take no stock
In the prejosterous assertion of the
Bryanltes that the tendency Is toward
empire, but that they are quite sat
isfied with existing conditions and want
them to continue. It is safe to predict
that Maine, where an election will be
held next Monday, will make as good
a showing as Vermont has done.
The Vermont election will be encour
aging to the republicans of other states.
It will strengthen their confidence and
should Inspire their zeal. It has been
said that republicans generally arc un
usually apathetic. This is certainly not
the case in tho (Jreen Mountain state
and the example of the republicans
there can hardly fail to exert 11 good
Influence everywhere. The first battle
on the skirmish line is a notable repub
lican victory. If the party throughout
the country will arouse itself and work
with earnestness and enthusiasm it will
achieve an overwhelming triumph In
NovemlKT.

Many cities which have been inclined
to crow over Omaha on account of the
showing made by the census returns
would not crow so loud If they would
take the time to carry the comparison a
little further. For the same reasons
Omaha people are not discouraged or
cast down. For the sake of comparison
admit which Is uot the' case that
Omaha has only the 102,000 people cred
ited lo It by the census. Put alongside
of these figures the achievements of
other cities of like population and even
greater. 'I he business of a city is fairly
reflected by tho clearings. In this re
spect Omaha outranks New Orleans
Providence, Milwaukee, Indianapolis,
St. Paul, Buffalo und Denver, all of
which outrank Omaha In population ac
cording to the census. Milwaukee and
Buffalo by many thousands and others
by a considerable number. St. Paul and
Denver, which were generally Mipposcd
before the census figures were given
out to be about the same size as Omaha,
but which were credited with several
thousand more and then were not satis
fied with tho count, fall about $2,000,000
per week behind Omaha In clearings.
Omaha started less than twenty years
ago to build up a stock yards and pack
ing Industry on what was then bare
prairie and timber land. Now It Is the
third packing center In the world and
making a prime bid for second place.
Its products are sold the civilized world
over and carry the name and fume of

In spite of the census figures Omaha i
adding to Its wholesale establishments
and. most gratifying of alt, outside capi
talists are largely Interested In tbe new
enterprises, whkh demonstrates tbat
Omaha's advantages are appreciated and
known and that men with money to
invest are not deceived as to tbe real
conditions by the cenus figures. Tbe
record of Omaha's wholesale business
will compare favorably with that of
cities of '"j.OuO population.
Omaha ha" more miles of paved -treets
than any city of 1.CJ imputation In
tbe world and more than any western
city of l.VM.".". It has more public Im
provements of all kinds than most cities
of 1-0..J people ami In making all these
improvement has kept its credit on a
par with the best, either east or west.
The greatest single achievement Of
Omaba was the creation and carrying
out of the Tninmlslsippl Hxjo3ltiou.
It was tbe most successful in an artistic
way of anything attempted by any city,
great or small, up to tbat date, as an
expoitlon it was exceeded only by the
World's fair, and financially It stands
today without a rival.

an entertaining article describing the
three forms of worship recognized by
the natives of China.

If the Germau press correctly reflects
the official views of that country on the
ChlnV'se situation there is trouble ahead
for the iowers in tho far east. Out
spoken distrust, and even direct charges
of treachery on the part of Ittissla, are
made, (iermany has nothing to gain
by stirring up the enmity of Its power
ful neighbor on account of China. Rus
sia Is in a position to throw a vastly
larger army Into China than any other
country, If not larger than all others
combined. In the nbsence of some de
cided proof It appears to be far better
to accept the assurances of Itussju at
somewhere near their face value.
American steel Interests are renehlng

steamers to carry their own product to

The fart that Sweden has come to the
United States for an industrial loan of
lin.OOO.OM. within a tt-x weeks after the !
British government had borrowed Jla.OOO,
000 here. Is another indication of the com
mercial prominence of this country Swe
den Is the fourth foreign gvernaent to
apply to the United States for money
within eighteen months. If the loan l j
subscribed here Americans will have lent !
foreign cations during that period from
jes.C00.000 to T3.rt.O0O, besides having
taken JIOO.000,000 two years ago In the
United States war loan. England, which
has been Sweden's banker, was unable to
furnish funds this time. The b5-.ds which
It Is proposed to float are to be offered at
68. For ten years they are to bear per
cent and for the succeeding decade 3.i
per cent Interest.
The first of tbe present series of for
eign loans was really one for J3.000.0i0
from tho city of Montreal. Then Iteslco
offered an Issue of JJ5.000.000 running for
thirty years, with Interest at 5 per cent.
This was taken by a syndicate. Last May
It was reported that Russia bad borrowed
J10,COO.O.0 at i per cent from Insurance
companies, but this has been denied.
Then Great .Britain was forced to place
part of Its JCO.000.000 lean at 3 per cent In
tbe United States. As the bonds v;ere
sold at 55 and mature in three years, the
rate was really almost i per cent, and
American capitalists were willing fo take
tbe whole loan. Sweden Intends to use
the 110,000,000 It expects to secure for the
building of railroads and other remunera
tive properties under the control of the
government. Its bonds are classed as of
unquestioned security.
There has been a remarkable turn In
the money market during the last five

debt at 2 per cent. In 15SJ United States
I per cent bonds were quoted at 63 and S6.
Yesterday they sold at 103H. Five years

at 10 and 107. Now they brine only SS.

TWO LAIIOIl DAY SI'UKCHES.
Philadelphia Ledger (lnd. rep.): The
careful reader of his addre?s will note that
Colonel Roosevelt has avoided debatable
political themes, while Mr. Bryan, appar
ently with studied disregard of the condi
tions Imposed upon him. went out of his
way to Introduce them. Including his "par
amount" Issue, "Imperialism."
Kansas City star (Ind.i: When Mr. Bryaa
said In his Labor day speech In Chicago
that no civilization can be considered per
fect which does not plant a hope In ths
heart of every child born Into the world,
he uttered a sontlracnt ringing with truth
and beauty. He might havo gone farther
and added that the party which seeks to
destroy that hope usually gets left.
Indianapolis Journal: Careful reading
and comparison of tho Labor day speeches
of Messrs. Roosevelt and Bryan must result
In convincing every fair-minded man and
competent critic that Mr. Roosevelt's
speech was by far tho more able, dignified,
appropriate and patriotic of tho two. From
th first to the last sentenco there was not
a word In It that could bo criticised by the
laboring men or the capitalist, by repub
lican or democrat, or from a political, so
cial or economlu point of view. Scholarly
la tone and treatment. It was an earnest
presentation on strictly non-partisan llnca
by a typical American Ulzen of the rights
and duties that pertain to American citi
zenship and of the relations of individuals
to each other and to the government.
Philadelphia Record und. dem.)- Mr.
Bryan's address to the laboring men at Chi
cago was by far a more artful appeal to
their Interests tnd their prejudices than
the address of Governor Roosevelt. Bryan
went the full length In advocating the ex
treme views entertained by labor leaders
with reference to the regulation of vages,
hours of labor, the Interference of the
courts for tho repression of violence on the
part of strikets and direct rather than rep
resentatie legislation. Goernor Roose
velt, on the contrary, generalized. He
avoided the discussion of subjects calcu
lated to stir up strife between employer,
and employes and strove to show tbat there
could be no Irreconcilable differences In
the interests of classes or sections that
were bound to go up and down together.
Mr. Bran spoke as a partisan; Mr, Roose
velt as 4 philosopher.

Is iDpertalism Now jf the qjet:oa ef
retalntoe the Philippines were to be sub
mitted to those states, every on would re
turn a majority of quite Sve to ose In favor
of their retention That is. they are go
ing to swallow their convictions of rtpht
and vote for a candidate solely because he
calls htnuelf a democrat This being true,
it will not b enough to just defeat Mr.
Bryan this year. His ticket should be ab
solutely snowed uader, so the defeat would
teach this generation of democrats that
before they can ever again expect to win
aa election they aust attach some prin
ciples to their ortaattatlon that men will
respect.
The last generation of democrats In lid
exhausted themselves In vituperation aad
made a direct appeal to the cowardice of
the people. They failed then, though the
stress of the war at the time was terrible,
and the distress of the people was great.
Ever since, with the stogie exception of
four years ago, their platforms have been
little more than arraignments of the party
In power and appeals to the darker pat
kloes ef men.
In forty years they have won twire The
first time a republican senate prevented
the perpetration of any great wrong save
where the executive had full power, as in
McKJnley Against Bryan
San Frar.rtsco C'.'
After all is sail and dene, the Issues rf
the campaign will be found la their last
analyses to be nothing more than a con
test between McKmley and Bryan, between
what Is represented In statecraft by the
one and In demagogy by the other There
are men who are tupporing Bryan tor no
other reason than a desire to defeat Mc
Klnley. Because they object to the presi
dent personally cr to his policy upon some
question great or small, they are opposed
to him. The democratic cry of old was:
"Anything to beat Grant." and cow it Is,
"Anything to beat McKlnley "
Tbe actagonltm to the president Is car
ried out with a frankness that hardly at
tempts concealment It be remem
bered that after the Kansas City platform
wa? adopted David Bennett Hill of Ne
York told the convention that some of thi
platform could be used In one state anl
other portions of It la another "There
Is hardly a man." he said, "who c.naot
find tn the platform somethtBg he will be
willing to vote for." So It was openly an
nounced that the campaign is to be waged
by such tactics. The fight Is to be against
gold In oce place, against trusts in another
place and against expansion tn a third
place, but everywhere It Is to be against
McKlnley
Not long ago James K McGuIre of the
democratic state rommittee of New York
was quoted as saying. "There are always
a great many things in a national plat
form that cannot be emphasized In a state
campaign. Now we have decided on a plan
by which tbe speakers In this state will
devote attention exclusively to the Issue of

platform go. I tell you the issue of im
perialism is the real thing It Is much
more vital than the fanciful ills of free
silver. The composition of the senate pre
vents any Interference with our financial
system for some year.. But Imperialism
Is at our very doors. Imperialism Is shoot

silver won't be heard of In this campaign."

Henry Wat'f ram said Mr. William J
Bryaa has come to Kentucky and Kec
tuckiacs hate taken his measure. He it a
boy orator. He is a dishonest dodger He
It a daring adventurer. He is a political
fakir. He Is cot of the material of which
the people of the United State have ever
raede a presijent. nor has he even the ma
terial of which any party hat ever before ,
made a candidate. Such was the judg
ment two years ago. Since then Bryan has
not changed, but now Mr. Watterson. who
continues to be tn favor of the gold stand
ard, and who is a strong Imperialist. Is
supporting the artful doger end political
fakir.
Four years ago Bourke Cockran said
"The American nation will sever consent
to substitute the republic of Washington,
of Jefferson and of Jackson for the re
public of an Altgeld, a Tillman or a
Bryan " In that same campaign Carl
Scburi said "The mere apprehension cf
the possibility of Mr. Bryan's election and
the coisequent placing of our country upon
a sliver bsls has already caused untold
millions of our securities to be throws
upon the market. And if these are the
effetts cf a mere apprehension of a pos
sibility, what would be the effect of the
event Itself? There Is scarcely aa im
aginable limit to the destruction certain
to be wrought by the business disturbance
that Mr Bryan s election would cause."
Yet these men are now praties about im
perialism and. following the advir. of Hill,
are trying to get the sliver lssu out of
the campaign In New York.
The people arc not going to b deceived
In this contest any more than In the time
when the cry was anything to beat Grant.
They arc aware that Bryan has not
changed since 1SS5, except, perhaps to
acquire a little more cunning la hla
methods of canvassing. He Is still the
prophet of calamity, a disturber of busi
ness a foe of American Industry sd an
advocate cf national dishonor. Nothing
but a blind partisanship can Induce any
citizen to support him in opposition to a
prssident whose administration has been
so glorious tor the republic and so pros
perous for the people as that of William
McKlnley.
.Vearlnt the Last Ditch.
Philadelphia. Record.
Once more the Boers have evaded a ds
'clslve engagement by a hasty retreat from
their positions near Machadodorp. Their re
tirement northward toward Lydenburg In
volves their abandonment of the Delagoa
Bay railway the only line ef communication
with their foreign bases of supplies which
.remained open to the Transvaalers. This
,1s certainly queer strategy and justifies the
Inference that the fear of capture Is the
controlling influence with tbe Boers. The
sphere of operations In the Transvaal, how
ever, has been contracted within a circle
the radius of which does cot much exceed
thirty miles Very few retreats can be ef
fected by the Boers in this circumscribed
area and If the burghers meaot to fall fight
ing they might aa well have dose so at
Machadodorp as anywhere else.
