WASEINGTOK, Oct 9. 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

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.

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

other dives -where nO'elf-respectingn,.an

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"

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

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

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

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

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

LeXGIiAND'S IiATJBEATE "WHITE? IN

Intimates -That Jealousy la the Iu"-
splrlngr. "Motive, ot fHi
Xejtractor.
For the' first time since his appointment
as poet laureate of England, Alfred Aus
tin has deigned Hy Vrttten word to ac
knowledge the, existence tof critics. At tho
same time -he speaks In Justification, of
his" choice "-as the .successor of Words
worth and Tennyson and- reaffirms hls r
sentiments of friendship tor tne peopie oi
the United States.
It may seem strange, says the St,s Paul
Pioneer Press, that the laureate
shquld h'ave-seen fit to.chopse a St. Paul
man," and through him the Pioneer Press,
as the vehicle of his latest message o
the English-speaking world. '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. Austin's yerse because" of
mlnor blemishes of .technique such as
existed, in equal and even larger degree ,
(as he proved by exhaustive citations) In
the works of every great English poet
from Shakespeare down, and had been'
either overlooked entirely, 'or forgiven
f reejy of them.. " " '
The laureate's .defender also jogged 'he
American memory h ' referring to the
critical time When, during the. Spanish
war of 189S, Mr. Austin, " In -an ode of
conceded power and grace, pealed a
trumpet-blast for Anglo-American friend
ship; voicing that sympathy with the
cause' and people 'of the United States
which dvvel't at the bottom of every Brit
ish heart and striking a responsive- chord
in the breast of every true American.
The Pioneer Press article came to, the
hands of Mr. Austin .and seems to have
melted, for once, the' icy silence he has
from the'" finst maintained without' de
viation toward his detractors. ".As a are-.

... 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. It promises to take
tho place not Only of free silver, but ot
imperialism" and of the trusts from" now
until erection day.
Credit to whom 'credit is due. A month
age. 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. It
stared Bryan in tho face when he said:
"If tho election were held today, there
is no doubt we would havo a majority in
the -electoral college and on the popular
vote. But " Then came McCarren
all over 'again, McCarren, not as he was
at Saratoga, but McCarren anticipating
overthrow and dejected, if not despair

"BLANCHE WAtSH AGAIN.
Opening: in Her Ne-iv Play""Mnrcelle"
nt the Broadway Theater.
New; York Papers of October 9.
A4melodrama. of a -good, old-fashioned
type wag brought, forward last night at
the Broadway Theater, andMias Blanche
Witlsh. acted in it with much force and
flre,M:oWhb-'obvious-sattsfectiorf of an

' Miss JBJanche, Walsh was .overweighted
with Itfarcelle her 'power to express emo
tion and passion being limited, although
'she 'was sweet 'and womanly In her love
scenes with the. hero. Evening Post.
The stellar premier of Blanche Walsh
happened at the Broadway Theater last
evening In a five-act romance of '"ye
olden tyme,'"" called "Marcelle." . t . .
Miss Walsh .was very warmly received
and heartily applauded during many of
the intensely, dramatic situations.
Journal.
For on'e "scene, andonet alone-4-the duel
of words between "Marcelle and" the crafty
iChevaller Blgot-irr-the fourth actt is
.pbs.sible to . grant , "ieslta,tingly some ap
"p'foval; ""but even 'thero "the credit be
longs chiefly to Miss Walsh and Freder
ick Perry. At the end of that act the
audience -found an opportunity to ex
press Its satisfaction with Miss Walsh,
and even included 'Mr. Presbrey in its
favor. . . . .With the odds against her,
It Is- pot to be' expected, that Miss Walsh
could do much. Now and then there was
something like Are Jn her acting, and
the audience llked-her for auld acquaint
ance sake. Commercial Advertiser.
Blanche Walsh Is an actress of so much
poyer t and distinction that It seems a
thousand pities thaYsome better play than
"Marcelle'j should, not have -been - chosen
for the stellar debut last night. . . .
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. Evening Sun
It Is possible, It-may even he reckoned
among the piobabllltles, that when
Blanche Walsh's company gets over its
very bad attack of stage fright, and Miss
Walsh herself recovers from the nervous
ness attendant' upon the trial of a new
play before a New York audience, "Mar
celle" may be a success. . . 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 last act is
fuU-ofaction, and In ,It Miss Walsh rose
to .real emotional heights-and scored, a
great i ersonal success. Times.
Blanche. Walsh was. the heroine at the
Broadway, last nlgh't In "Marcelle," a par
tially historic play by Eugene W. Pres
brey. 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. - , ' . '" -
