Individual incidents here and there accentuate the Eickening generalities of the Russian situation.

Mr. Stolypin has been known as The expoaant of "strong-handed reform." He proposal to lead Russia into ways of pleasantness and peace with a band of steel in a glove of steel. The response of those whom be would thus coerce is a wholesale butchery of his household and guests, from which be himself narrowly escaped. General Mln was one of the ruthless agents and advocates of remorseless repression, and he is "removed" In fulfilment cf a formal decree of the twentieth century vchmffcricht; leaving the world to wonder, with morbid horror, what revolting tortures and outrages will be Inflicted, after tho Cossack fashion, upon the girl who Slew him. As for Count Vorontzoff-Dasbkoff.

thst Vloeroy of the Caucasus, under whose vacilly.ttng rnle that corner of the empire has come tfi resemble an earthly hell perhaps more closely than any other, his life is not to be reckoned worth an hour's purchase. We may say the of General Kaulbars, and, indeed, of every Hessian official whose name has been marked with tho fatal asterisk on the lists of tbe Red Terror. Week before lan we were told that 210 "members of the militant section of the Socialist periphrasis for bomb throwers been arrested In three days in the two capitals of the empire, and that precisely ten times that number of "political prisoners" passed through last moDth bound for various destinations. Such tbe activities of Mr. Stolypln's "strong hand Instead of being effective for repression, tbev vrere merely provocative of further upristajrs snd assassinations.

To-day must re' gwffnlljr conclude that Russia is falling hns fallen into a state comparable with that of the closing years of tbe reign of Alezon'des; and csn only hope that the likeness will be completed jn the laet appalling detail.

It is not only the life of this or that official, but the progress of those ordered reforms to which the best minds of Russia have devoted themselves and upon which the welfare of tbs empire depends that the Red Peril menaces. THE "POINTING WITH PRIDE" HABIT. An Interesting question of party etiquette has been raised in Ohio.

The Republican State Convention is about to meet, and its members are trying to decide Just how far they are bound by the custom of with pride" at anything and everything in sight which may be labelled Republican. Ohio conventions have never been stingy in scattering compliments and acknowledging services, and in awarding platform bouquets the good old rule has generally been followed of satisfying politeness first and truth afterward. Usually this could I)e done without much friction or offence to logic, as all the leaders indorsed. Presidents, Senators, Representatives and Governors, were broadly grouped as workers for the same cause aud exponents of the same principles. This year, as it happens, the two Republican Sen ators from Ohio have failed to work in harmony with President Roosevelt and the majority of the state delegation in the House of Representatives, and the convention therefore faces the problem of tempering Its all-round vole of credit with a certain measure of discrimination and censure.

The situation will call for political strategy of a high order. There can be no doubt; as Representative Burton said recently, that tho Republican voters of Ohio and the people of Ohio without regard to party stand behind the President. The President's indorsement must therefore be absolute and unequivocal. But according to what scale of demerit are tho Senators and certain members of the delegation in the House to be penalized? Mr. Foraker was the most persistent opponent in the Senate of the administration's Railroad Rate bill and was the only Republican to po on record as voting against it.

He also opposed the Hamilton Joint Statehood bill, 6trongly favored by the President. Senator Dick was one of the most earnest champions of this latter measure, and non-committal or not actively hostile on rate rejjulation. Yet he helped by bis vote in committee to strangle the Philippine Tariff bill and to defeat the administration's laudable effort to repair a gross injustice to the Filipinos. Representative Keifer also took the "Insurgent" side on this measure, and, though a Representative is supposed to reflect the sentiment of his particular constituency, and not of the stato at large, a convention which apportions blame for the derelictions of the two Senators can hardly avoid challenging the wisdom of Representatives who fought the administration on the same Issue. Ohio's pride pointing will have to be done this year with a more or less irresolute finger.

Yet it is a material gain for intelligent politics when a convention drops the old perfunctory omnibus indorsement habit and begins to weigh seriously the arguments for and against a certain course or policy. Ohio should know and the country should know whether Mr. Foraker represented anything beyond his individual prepossessions in fighting so resolutely the whole scheme and theory of railroad rate regulation. It would be helpful to discover whether or not Mr. Dick reflected the best Judgment of the party In Ohio when he voted to deny relief to the suffering Filipinos.

If he really represented Ohio opinion be is, of course, not censurable, though we are disposed to agree with Mr. Burton that a direct vote on this Issue would show Mr. Dick in a small minority. Just as a direct vote in Connecticut would reverse the position of Senators Bulkeley and Brandegee. The two Ohio Senators must in their own interest desire a full and free discussion in the state convention of the policies on which they differed from the administration and must welcome any friendly instruction for their future guidance.

Sane criticism is preferable to unmeaning eulogy, and it is less important for a convention to "point with pride" than It Is to counsel with freedom and Intelligence. FRAXCO-QERMAN AMENITIES. It would doubtless be too much to hope for anything like an approachment between France and Germany, until another generation has passed since the "terrible year." On neither side has there yet appeared any general movement or even desire for an entente cordiale, but in social, literary and artistic matters, as well as In military, commercial and industrial, a mutual attitude of antagonism has been maintained. Yet now and then some Individual voice Is heard, on one Bids or the other, speaking words of peace and reason, and the most hopeful feature of the whole case is that such a voice is not cried down in a national torrent of indignant reproach, but is listened to with respect, which may one day grow into sympathy and approval. One of the most noteworthy of such recent utterances-has Just appeared In "Free Speech," a Frankfort magazine, which seems to be appropriately named.

The writer aims to rebuke his countrymen for what he regards as their unwarranted self-esteem, and also for their too common tendency to express contempt for Franco. lie reminds them that the German victory in IS7O-'7l was won by leaders, not by armies, for the French soldiers, man for man, were the equals of the German; and he adds that the present French army, which some Germans affect to sneer at as amateurish, is actually superior to the German, In that It lacks tho "barbarism and ill treatment" which mar tha latter. Germany never could have recovered, he says, so quickly as France from such a blow as that of the great war. That war burdened France with a debt which was expected to crush her forever; yet within five years she had 6O far risen up under It that Bismarck himself became afraid of her. She has not paid off that debt But In the ten years 1592-1902 she increased it by only 4Vi per cent, while Germany's was Increased by 61 per cent.

Socially and Industrially, continues this German writer, France has great advantages over Germany. Her wealth Is so well distributed that ber citizens are on the average better off than those of any other land. Her worklngmeu are better dressed and better fed and drink less than those of Germany. The average of life Is longer In France than in Germany, and the general standard of manners and culture is higher. Moreover, France is almost unique anionjr European countries in producing all Its own breadstuffs and other articles of food, excepting, perhaps, a part of its supply, and is of all the largest exporter of food and drink.

It is sufficient unto itself, for the supplying of Its own wants, in a higher degree than any other important country in Europe. Finally, the writer argues that Intellectually France is far superior to Germany. are, he says, no sculptors, historians, critics, novelists, in Gerniany to be coinpaml with those of Prance. Nearly half Ihe literature of Germany is furnished by French writers. And while the Intellectual emancipation of womeu Is one of the noblest features of French civilization, in Germany 90 per cent of the women are still In intellectual strings.

"We have." be concludes, "no ground for being overblown with "pride toward Franco. We should do better, as did. a hundred ago, -to to school iii NEW- YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. TUESDAY. AUGUST 28.

Wiiat ii most noteworthy and most valuable in It Is. however, that such plain talk Is not Incontinently etormed out of court, but is listened to attentively, and forms the subject of serious reflection. As impartial friends of both, Americans will not presume to Judgo between the two, and certainly will not say what this German writer is privileged to say and doeg cay, that German pride over France needs to be rebuked and brought down.

But it may confidently be said that for tho people of one country to think of tho good rather tnan of the bad qualities of their neighbors, and of their neighbors' greatness rather than of their own. conduces strongly toward a more Juat appreciation of each by each, and thus toward international friendship and gocd will. THE PENUMBRA. "The shadow of a great personality" is stretching out nostalgically toward us. Over the eastern waters, In front of the morning sun.

Mr. Bryan is hasting hither, and the orb of day projects bis eclipsing bulk before him. We are already entering into his penumbra. Penumbrously he fills Democratic editorial pages. Thus "The Ashevllle Citizen" hails him as "a iiew world power," and "The Raleigh News and Observer." bestowing on this scissored tribute double leads and the proud position regularly reserved to its own homemade eloquence, confesses thus its inability to express more gloriously the thrilling emotions of the penumbra.

Since the emergence of Japan no such phenomenon has been observed. A continent for elbow room for this "new world power" Let the other world powers shift about on their teetcr-torter to make room for this mighty newcomer and to readjust the precious and commodious balance. Mr. Bryan has been to "Yurrnp." When an ordinary man goes there he returns magnified in the eyes of his untravelled neighbors, but when a great man goes And Mr. Bryan has merely to Europe.

He has let his "observation with extensive view survey mankind from China to Peru." He has proclaimed "to all mankind that humanity cannot be upon a cross of gold. Bearing "this new torch of liberty, holding aloft a Magna Charta, sounding a trumpet call "the echoes of which are being heard around "the world, William Jennings Bryan stands "alone in a place where no man has stood because the component parts which go to "make his greatness represent all sections of "the globe." His was no "Cook's tour," all bustle and Baedeker. He went to see and to be seen. When the Niagara has taken itself on a trip around the globe the nations of the earth, familiar with the two wonders of this continent, will be content to stay at home and "see their own countries first" Greatest of all the glories of this tour, the Commoner "has stood In the "courts of kings, preaching there before the "throne the imperishable doctrine of ths equality of man." No wonder "The Asheville Clt- izen." lauded by that lauded man. Josephus Daniels, the Pendragon of the Democratic editors, presses the resources of language to their uttermost and says that Mr.

Heaven forbid but a worldlian There have been other worldllans Jefferson, Gladstone, Bismarck but "Bryan is the greatest of all." "Out of the "clouds of derision and contumely there has "been born a new world power, and Bryan stands resplendent, the greatest of all men We commend to the Democratic editors of the land la these penumbrous days the notable and self-effacing example of their great Pendragon. Why strain the dictionary any further? The "facundious art" of rhetoric falters before the impossible. Reprint the whole eloquent. Just and unsurpassable tribute.

Hall to the greatest living "The Dragon of the great Pendragonshlp" swishes his inky and symbolic tail in ecstatic approval THE GOSPEL AT THE CITY HALL. The few days' controversy over some remarks made by an evangelist on the steps of the City Hall which were interpreted as reflecting adversely and disrespectfully upon the Acting Mayor took a new and radical turn yesterday. The superintendent of the meetings which have been held at the CHty Hall daily for some time made a formal public apology for the utterance of his zealous coadjutor, and then the Borough President revoked the permit for the meetings, so that no more can be held. That ended the incident; excepting for controversy, which, we suppose, will be continued for some time, with more or less acrimony. There are those who will regard both sides as at fault, entirely apart from the question of the Intent and purport of the offending speech.

Some, for example, will challenge the propriety of ever holding such meetings In such a place. Granted that their object and their effects were the highest and holiest in the-world. It may legitimately be asked whether it is fitting to conduct the propaganda of one specific religion in a place dedicated to Impartiality toward all religions. The seat of government, whether national, state or city, is a place in whiuh civil authority is exercised entirely without regard to sect or creed. Is It well to appear in even the least degree to identify it any creed? It is said these meetings were non-sectarian.

That was quite true, as among a number of sects, to wit, evangelical Protestant Christians. But there are some Protestant Christians who may be described as non-evangelical, who were not in sympathy with them, and we cannot suppose that Roman Catholics, Greek Catholics or Jews, of whom tfiere are myriads in tills city, regarded them with favor. We can appreciate the feelings of those who cry out against a refusal to let the "simple Gospel of Christ crucified" bo proclaimed in any place whatsoever. Yet, If a Roman Catholic priest should celebrate the mass or a Jewish rabbi conduct the service of a synagogue on that very spot, some of them would still more passionately cry out against what they would regard as identification of the city government with Catholicism or Judaism. In a land like ours, which boasts of its complete separation of Church and State, it would seem to be best to avoid any semblance of union between them.

On tUo othor hand, there are those who will regard It as unfortunate, to say the least, that a colleague of the very officer of government concerning whom the offending words are supposed to have been spoken should suppress the meetings. However unjust such a theory may some will inevitably think and charge that the Borough President revoked the permit in order to give the Acting Mayor personal revenge for a personal animadversion, and also, perbaps, in order to hamper a form of religions work wltn wiilch he Is supposed not to sympathize and to check the propagation of a creed In which ho does not We have no doubt that Mr. Abeam and Mr. McGowan would strongly disavow any such motives, but they surely uniHt see that the former's action Is such as to provoke suspicion of them. Prom the point of view which wo have set forth, It might have been better novrr to bare a permit for the meetings.

P.it, once given, it might also iiave Iwen better to ignore such incidents as that of last week, and to let the permit stand and the meetings continue, so long as they were kept within bounds of law and order.

Mr. Wellman evidently has not yet abandoned all hope of reaching the Pole this year, but the time left at his disposal is rapidly diminishing, lshing. The National Railway Rate law goes into effect to-day. Mr.

Bryan will find upon his arrival that some pretty efficient work toward regulation of corporations has been done during his absence and under Republican auspices. It Is not exactly fair, perhaps, to judge of Professor Garner's success In talking with monkeys until his whole story has been heard. In order to convince most people, he must show that his exchange of ideas with the animals he has studied amounts to more than many conversations between canaries and their mistresses. It is to be hoped that the present painful struggle as to who shall sit next to Colonel Bryan and Introduce him at Madison Square Garden will not reach the knock-down and dragout stage. Jerome escaped unhurt In the Maine wreck, but how will It be when he comes Into collision with the Hearst train? Even Mr.

THE TALK OF THE DAY. A man who travels a good deal and who recently visited San Francisco confides to "The Chronicle" of that city his method of obtaining the utmost service from waiters.

One Sunday at dinner, after the old woman had returned with her small grandson from the morning service, her daughter asked the natural question. "Poor." said Grandma Mullins, emphatically, "mighty poor!" "But, grandma," said the little boy, "what could you expect for a cent?" Probably a Hopeless Case. Mr. "Tou know Bilsford?

"Theu you can't enter here." sail the gateman, tersely giving the reason. "The devil you say." came from the astounded clergyman, according to "The Buffalo Commercial." The gateman hesitated for a minute, but after pondering the minister's reply he is said to have replied: "On, you're ail right. When you talk that way you can't be very strong in the preaching line," and the barrier was removed. A Philadelphia politician was talking about the late Samuel H.

"I worked under Mr. Ashbridge for three years," he eald. "and found him a good master, a considerate, kind and just master. "I once tried to Improvo on an order of Mr. Ashbridge's.

Clement encounters in his campaign for the Governorship of Vermont Is unique and insuperable. There la throughout the country a general tendency to rise and destroy graft, extravagance and bosstsm, and almost anywhere else a party promising to abolish those evils would havo a good chance of success on that lsfcuo alone, without much regard to the personality of candidates. Not so in Vermont. Thera Isn't any sruf'. here.

people watch men in too closely Every citizen is a detective. Symptoms of grafi are instantly spotted, and it dies There isn't any extravaKance, either. The public expenses are absurdly small. You can't talk effectively about extravagance in a state where the salary of the Governor is $1,500, and where a judge of the Supreme Court, who works like a horse all the year round, doing the work allotted to two Judges anywhere else, geta only 000 a year; and other state expenses are In proportion. As to bosslEm: Senator Proctor Is undoubtedly a boss, but he Is a virtuous boss.

He comes as near realizing the ideal of a beneficent despot aa human nature can. and the rule of a beneficent is admitted to be the nearest thing to perfection In government. The Vermonter is reared in a hard soil, and Senator Proctor is the complete and pttrfect flower. Any attempt to his integrity will prove a mighty rocky adventure. To succeed in Vermont requires an intelligent tending of self-Interest ar.d a watchfulness others wnich amounts to genius.

1.. Aug. High winds and a threatening sky interfered a great deal with out-ofdoor affairs in Newport to-day, but the conditions were not such, until afternoon, that the cottagers had to seek cover, for early in the afternoon the rain began to come down and It continued at intervals until night. The high wind kicked up a sea out In tea bay and alone; shore, and yachting was out of the question, but many drove around the drive to watch the surf, it being particularly fine at Spouting Rock, at Bailey's Beach. In the afternoon there was tennis and a fox hunt, which were held in spite of the weather, but the attendance was small at both, and there was not the usual crowd at the tennis In the morning at the Casino.

It was a day which was largely spent Indoors, luncheons and dinners being very numerous. This morning, at the Casino, the cottagers received a bit of news which was a disappointment when Oliver H. P. Belmont Informed his friends that Mrs. Belmont had received word from her daughter, the IKiohess of Maxlborough.

that it would be Impossible for her to to Newport this season. At the last moment she was) obliged to change her jjlana.
