A Presidential campaign-keeps everything of a buRlnets character In .Washington at a standstill. This Is the cape Just jiow, -when every body Is doing more or less In a polltcal "way and givnlg- atteritlon to the cam paign. Of -course, the Tegular city busi ness Is transacted the same As nt any other time", although like other cities, or dinary mercantile, real estate and gen eral business Is. Affected mtwe or less- ty he Presidential campaign. Tlie business .In the departments goes on along pretty Tnuoh Ihe same a$ .-ever. It has been noted, however, t"aat quite a number 6T prominent ciea Jn the AjdmInlstr3tIon have boon absent, some of them on po litical -missions, but -for the most part they have heen on their" regular annual leaves. All of the Cabinet members have heen aay more tot Jess- during the last XMrt of the Summer, and the fact that the President himself Is out of town nat urally makes department business and 'Governmental affairs less Interesting and lively than when he and all" of his Cabf not are here. Although some members of "Uis Cabinet and quite a number of men connected with the Administration have toeen absent, it Is quite a noted fact that only a few members of he Cabinet have been engaged In politics while away. Charles Emory Smith, who is one of the roost fluent Fpeakers connected with the . Administration, has made a number of spechus "In the campaign and Secretary James Wilson, of the Agricultural De partment, has had & little to say, but Secretaries Hay, Root, Gnge and Hitch cock, Long end Attorney-General Griggs, "who have been away "more or less, have thus far taken no part in the campaign. Secretaries Hay and Rootvwere ill when they left Washington, and their illness kept them away most of the time, 'Root's SxweeJie "Will Be ailR'ted. Tt was the Intention of Secretary Root to prepare at least tv. o speeches to be de Iv ered during tho campaign. He was go ng "to talk on "War Department matters, wi h especial referenced this -country and the Philippines. His severe Illness will prob ably prevent him from taking this step, emd the country will miss two,, good' speeches. Secretary Boot never was any thing of a politician, and while that wuld not prevent him from making a .good political speech, he would -have he.n extremely interesting In his exposition of many policies that have arisen regarding the Tegular Army, our volunteer Armv. .and what has been going forward In tbs Philippines He has a terse way of e---press'tns' himself, and his lawyer-ill e grasp of affairs has heen such as to en able him to see clearly the whole "Philip pine situation, as well as all actions of the Army since it has como under his coirtrol -and tllrection. "Waslilncricm Interested. Probably in no other city in the Unloprj Is there as lively .an Interest taken in t"je political campaign as In Washington City, .lthp"ugh residents of the District of Co lumbia are not allowed to vote. At tiie same time many of the people residing "here maintain a voting residence in the states from whence they came, ard con sequently many of them will go home to Vote. Those living In distant st3tes will j "be unable to go. Besides these, there are hundreds of -women in the departments who would not have a yote except :n the States of Colorado, Wyoming and tTtah, even if they did so home. All ,oEthes2 J clerks are vjtaljy interested in tne out come 'of the election, and it is an interest ing fact that nearly all of them are anxious to see McKlnley elected. They had the same anxiety four years ago, be cause they believed then", as they believe :ndw. that the success of Bryan v. ould ha ap't to'acttse a clean sweep, or pract'ea ly -such among the offlec-holders of Wash ington. "The .anti-civil service declara tions of the Democrats, It is believed ly many department clerks, will be carried out, -and that the law .will .either be xs pealed or the Democratic Administration "will get around it In some way so a-? to replace most of the clerks here with Dem ocrats, is- firmly helleVed. Of conrss, there are a large number of clerks who would he found, to be Democrats as roon as thei Democratic Administration "was elected, as in times gone by. Clerks have teen hgard to .say that the country canirst change an Administration any" quicker than they can change their politics. - The JLrmy Canteen. I was talking with an. Army officer, who for many years has had charge' and su pervision of the canteen1 at the Army post where he is stationed. He says that about, the only hind of liquors that are ever sold or demarfded is draught beer, and that the sale of beer is a small part of the business of the canteen. It IE. of -ocrarso, the profitable part of the canteen "because the other goods that are sold In large quantities are -usually placed at a price which -will barely pay for their handling. The canteen is a post ex change. It handles everything that the soldiers demand. Through It the sol diers are enahlecPto obtain many deli cacies for their table which they could Tiot possibly secure through the commis sary department. The furnishing- of food to the soldiers hy the Government is down to a scientific basis, and that which 1 is most substantial And best suited to the needs of the large majority makes up the Army ration. There are many other things which men like which they can ob tain through purchase or -exchange, and unless there was a canteen, they could not make these purchases or exchanges. This Army officer told me that some months the canteen at bis post cleared $700. This money went, back to the men ond they were enabled to make larger purchases for the .next month, or they -would he able to save the money them selvos. A lady -who has lived in Army posts nearly all her life heard the con versation and remarked that sho could not -understand the opposition to the Army -canteen by those who -were appar ently interested in the cause of temper ance. She remarked upon one particular post, that at Fort- Monroe. While "she was there she scarcely ever saw soldiers intoxicated. They were orderly and apparently devoted to their duty. With out the canteen these men would go Into the low dives and groggeries In tho lltltle towns along Hampton Boads, and wbuld he a disgrace to the Army. In posts whre there have been no canteens, this has always been the case, -while the posts with the canteen have been freer from vice and intoxication than the others. The probabilities are that the greatest opposition to the canteen in the Army comes from teoDle who do not know anythfng about it. In fact. It is, well i known that many men and women who 3 know nothing whatever about Its opera tion. "Where a. Canteen In UiilcnoTrn. In a large measure, conditions that pre- j van at Army poets prevail at the various Soldiers' Homes about the country. Proh- j amy none or. mese nas a finer location. more attractive grounds, and more com- j fortable quarters than the home at Hamp- I ton, va., near Fort Monroe. Yet a visit or to this home Invariably has an ex perience In his trip that must leave with htai a mbst horrible regret that the can: toen is not a dominant factor at the otherwise irreproachable home for the old soldiers. It may be truly said of tne larger part of the town of Hampton teat j it is one vast saloon, designed to catch the old soldiers. It is not tho slightest cxaggeratibn to assert that on the main street leading from the home grounds ihere'are four solid' hlocks.llned''on either 'elde witlj ..groggeries. -of a low type,tand other dives -where nO'elf-respectingn,.an would care to be found. Save a few drug stores, there iE not room for an others building, on these "squarcis. -"THts places are constantly HUed with pla rpl dlers, generally in a greater or less s'age of Intoxication, r "The wonder is that o many saloon's could thrive, and m my wonderment I asked one saloon-keeper how it -was that he managed to.ma; a i living and pay his. license- with such 'enor mous competition. "Why," he said, "ttuit. is the easiest thing in the world. Don t you know that every yar there nrehul" dreds of thousands of dollars gb Into that home? Well, somebody has got to get It, and why not we? There Is enough to go around, or else some of- us would have quit business long ag6." This !$, ul cqutsc, ah exaggerated example, -and could not properly apply to any Army post, but it serves to show what a 'thins Is possible where there Is no canteen. The saloon-keepers at Hampton, rather than being jealous rivals of one anbthsry are the best of friends, and work con junctively to devise' means of ble. r.n the old soldiers at the Home. - How much better thpse old men would be if they, had their. canteen where they could secure a good class of mild liquor, such as beer, if they desired, but where they would not .be made drunkards, sots and dupes, ana robbed of their scant pension allow tare as regular as pay day came around. The sight is really very impressive, and if any of those who now so vigorously as-3il the canteen policy could go through Hampton nnd seo for themselves, tiif canteen .cause would haye many cdu verts. , Vamleville In WashlnjHon. A'bout'a year ago the first effort to in troduce vaudeville amusements in Wash ington was started, and everybody who thought they knew anything about theat- j success here, although It had heen suc cessful in f New York, Boston, Philadel phia. Chipago and 'nearly every other large city, In the country. Itrequlres' a large city for successful vaudeville, apd Washington is a pretty good-sized city. Instead of being a failure, however, the men who toolw the! matter up made ltt a moist stupendous-successj; They , took! a -very large! old theater, which 'had bern dark and glqomy, with bad" 'accessories', and transformed lit Into a first-class house. They lighted it up, painted and decorated it, Introduced new curtains and .scenery and transformed the Inside of the place. Then they -secured the very best -audeville 'artists 'on the stage and gave nrs-C-claes -entertainments' at pppular prices.. At present Chase's Sew Grand Is one. of the' -first-class vaudeville houses of the East. Among the other important changes the theater offers is careful at tention toItspatrons. "In the iadles"walt-lng-room is a maid to take care, of ladles' wraps, and In -other ways -toassist in the comfort and convenience of those who at tend. Wraps and umbrellas are checked without charge, which Is an innovation In Washington. 'There is a telephone free of charge, and messenger calfs. A por ter Is in attendance in the gentleman's room, and a man may have his "shoes shinea there without charge. Every1 bill stages positively that no fees are to be paid to any of the employes, and that all a patron is expected to do is to'pay his money and secure everything that the -theater affords. -With such first-class, lib eral management as this it is not surpris ing that Chase's New Grand has pivven u success. ARTHUR W. DUNN. Bryan' Demaerosrlcal "Words. Chicago Tribune. Mr. Bryan is seeking to alarm the'vot-' ers In "seacoast cities by telling them "that the guns of the forts which have been constructed' for their defense against for eign enemies will be used t6 suppress "lo cal discontent." The residents in those cities are better informed than Mr. Bryan oeems to be. They know that the guns which have been put in place to defend the approaches to harbors like those t-t New ""fork. Boston and San Francisco are so mounted that they could not be used against those cities. K they could be thus used they would not be used to "suppress discontent," The-"discontented" would leave -with .great rapidity: be fore the guns began thundering. The only .sufferers from the canpqnade would he the-property-owners whose Bkyscrap-( ers and other buildings might be dam-' aged. ' 'Therefore this diatribe of Bryan against forts and guns cannot gain him any votes In those portions of the coun try where forts do most abound that- is, along the seacoast. In foreign countries interior, cities have frowning fortifica tions -which may,, serve to overawe.- their lnhabltapts or tto repel enemies from with out. In the: United States the interior cities have no fortifications for ny 'pur pose. There are no guns mounted in or near Chicago or Indianapolis. Why, then, should Bryan -warn Illlnolsans or Indian an.s against forts? He does so because there are no limits to his demagogy. a Imperialism nnd Trusts. New "York Sun.

'But he has done so, nevertheless, andvthis is Jiow It came about: On', the 56th of .August lasthe Pioneer Press contained a communication headed "Painting the Devil Too Black," and signed "J. T." .It was a reply to a jaun diced attack upon Mr. Austin by William Archer of the London Chronicle In the August number of the Critic, New York. The writer of the Pioneer Press article not through whim, but, as a, matter of profound conviction sought to stem the tide -of abusive criticism directed against the official blnger:,pf the (Joint of St. James. He olea'ded .for at least a modi cum of the fair play due alike to poet1 and high-minded gentleman of noble im pulses. It was unjust,'-he contended," to denounce Slr.

Consequences. ' (Brooklyn Eagle,. Ind.JJem.) Silver has dropped' completely out of Democratic 'sight: J It cuts no figure In the Brya"ri canvass Sunk by the weight 'of silence, it has.gone to ,tbe bottom, to be seen on the surface no more. Th6 submersion Is Without paralleklh thef hlai tory of 'Amerlcaii politics. The're was no sign of .surrender by, the candidates be--fore the convention. The words he wired to Kansas City virtually were: "No sil ver, no Bryan." That is to say.he nailed, his flag of 'repudiation to'the mast,' oaten slbiyto s'tay there until the Presidency was once more won and lost." His defter-' mlnatlon was admirecf. He was credited with the courage of his convictions.' His' sturdy' stand against Kansas City odds suggested, .the heroic. It was anS'thlng but indicative of the conversion of ex pediency into principle. It prompted even the foes of the Nebraskan to concede that among his attributes was consistency, that among his shortcomlrigs''-cowardice did not figure. Since theu-Tvhat? Since then the sinking weight of silence. Since then submersion. Since then literally nothing suggesting the heroic. Since then surrender. Search political history for a parallel and it will be discovered nowhere. Other changes have overspread' the spirit of the Bryan dreams. Not long ago he was convinced that every trust should be exterminated. He would, he said, arm the Federal Government' with power sufficient to go Into every nook and corner of the land "and declare them ex tinct. ' The significance of this seems to havo dawned upon hirt. He talks of- the coming of the tyrant here, but he sees that tyranny could go no, farther than he would have sent the Federal Government. His proposed extermination, was another term for wholesale confiscation In a land where property rights' are believed to be reasonably safe. There are anarchists who draw the line at that sort of thing. In their most frenzied moments they dis play ""some slight regard for. certain fun-" damentals. 'So, the Nebraskan Is now discussing the necessity for remedial leg islation He would' even ha"va the com monwealths ,retaln, some of the. powers they .noV' enjoy, so conseryatlva is-he be coining. .The logic of all this is that the, advocate of free riot has seen, his most radical trust, days.. The logic of It .Is. that he has been running amuck on monopo lies and realizes It. : Other realizations have" overtaken him" in a platform' career which can 'only be described as headlong. He, was in his birthplace yesterday. He -say there, dis played In many windows, the picture of his' adversary? Tho spectacle went home. It unquestionably hit him "hard. There Is' no necessity for explaining why" The spot' was, as he said, sacred to hiiri. There his parents' were buried and there, he safd, He hKd iearned the precepts; he had tried to follow? Then came a real touch of bitterness, or a touch of real bitterness. ""Vhen'I see tho" picture of my opponent In the windows of the Re publicans, I know how conscientious, .thqy must be '"and how certain they are that my election would be Injurious to the country, or they would not exhibit tho pictures on the. occasion , of my jreturn to my birthplace." This was no premedi tated outburst. It was art -instinctive re sponse to thab which touched- the quick. It "was over. In 'a moment. Bryan was himself again almost lnsta'ntly. THc ran amuck" once more. ' :We know what to expect .should he" bei defeated. He wiU say 'that ho was- sold out. That ls the new cry of alarm.

Senator McCarren at' Saratoga 'led the way. He declared ""that the Presi dency was to be bought and sold. He appealed to the financiers to close their purso strings, warning them that every succeeding purchase would have to be mado at a higher price. Eventually, he said, the price would become high enough to be impossible of payment. The elev enth hour campaign Issue Ii, therefore, of local origin. The author of Its being be lieves In neither free silver" nor free riot. He has notions-of his own on the subject of National developmonVand he is neither a fanatic, nor a' fool when trusts -are the subject of discussion.. He must have smiled grimly when he read the Salem echb of his Saratoga speech. That which was 'planted 'In "the statb convention Is" sprouting lustily elsewhere. The Senator uncorked a cloud of smoke for reasons or "his Own.' He had' wit enough to seo thaf'free sliver was in &' coffin; that some trusts are beneficent and that the coun try will grow Is necesary in spite of it self. And seeing these things, he had also wit enough to see the necessity for creating a diversion. It is'dlverting. Tlje handwriting Is on the wall.

In short, Mlsfs Walsh, as a sensible wom an, must face some very plain facts this morning. By her splendid work In tho late Fanny Davenport's plays, she has proved her right to be regarded ai a star, but before all else she needs a play, and next to a play she needs a leading man, and, after that a stage manager. . . . Miss Walsh, in spite of all her handicaps, scored a genuine per sonal success. "She played with power and sympathy and distinction. But she deserved a" better chance.

The bur den of 'the play rested entirely on Miss Walsh's shoulders, and she shouldered the burden-like a heroine. She had very little assistance." for three acts, either on the stage or in the audience, and it is mainly due to-her power,, her convincing rendition, of 'the title Tole and a possible realization on the part pf Mr. Presbrey, that he .must, glive her something to. do atijast that wasa worthy of -her 'abilities, that, "Marcelle'.' was lifted from-failure to .partial .success. . , . .

The object of Mr. Presbrey's work had been" to elevate Miss Walsh to the atrical, eminence. To put her Into a character associated with real events of anlmpressiye naturo was a good thing to do, because she .Is a handsome creature ot stately mien, and Io'oksflt to-figure in moment'ods affairs". So "the-schprne'of her new role.was judicious, and the out come was satisfactory to all concerned 'n last night's, disclosure including the friendly -audience. Miss Walsh's beauty was served by several changes of- cos tume, eachr.becomIng to her and suitable to the developments of the play.- She seemed to be in fully, .recovered health, and her declamation, was quite as reson ant and vehement as any ot the situations demanded'.. She had more of force than fineness, as ever, and was Imperiously rather than pathetically emotional. But she -was Imperiously .magnificent. Hor strong yet not diverse, abilities had evi dently been studied by Joseph Brooks, the sponsor' for her venture as a star, and he had found In Mr. Presbrey a writer sufficiently adept in the craft of thev stage to employ them to the best advantage. Tho result was applauded a great deal. Sun. SELECTING SPELLBINDERS. ileal "Worlc That Requires Prompt ' Judgment nnd Good Diplomacy. Saturday Evening Post. It is a "slow day which does not bring hXXf candidates for oratorical honors to either of the National headq'uarters, and the-average Is 'close to 200 a day. The written , applications brought in by tho mails are about equal to the number of those .made personally. First Impressions carry great weight with the men who select the orators, and .they depend more upon their ability to read human natjire than, upon the results of any categorical examination. A principal enforced by the dally ex perience of these" judges of spellbinders is expressed in the homely adage that "You can't tell by the looks of a toad how far he will jump." Rough diamonds of oratorical talent are at a premium at National headquarters, and It is recog nized at the speakers' bureaus that the best spellbinder timber Is often clothea with a shaggy baric Silk hats, spotless linen, white ties and faultless Prince Al bert suits do little to assure the candi dates of acceptance. A distinctive feature at National-headquarters, is ther. army of bright young college' men who are Impatient to try their mettle on the stump. No young college man need hesitate to make appli cation torthe chief of either bureau, for both are emphatic 'in the declaration that the colleges "and universities of the pres ent day are "turning "out better cam paign timber than ever before, ""and tHat the humblest undergraduate Is assured of a courteous welcome If h'e "chooses to seek a place in the ranks of the spell binders. - , ' .
