IX TUB nOW over the Ablution toll turnpike the piepondentnee of iifrument seems to be on the side of the turnpike company as the case stands. The stockholders In that company are doubtless willing' to sell out, but they object to belliff shoved out and it appears that a majority of the patrons of the road ate In sym pathy with their position. On general principles toll loads are obnoxious. Public roads ought all to be owned by the government, kept In re pair by the government and charged to tin: taxpayer. The survival of private or corporate ownership of main-travelled thoroughfaies is in a way repug nant lo the sense of fieodom hied by tlie more modern and familiar condi tions of public owuciMiip. llut theie Is a right way and a wrong way lo go ahead with the work of ex tinguishing pi I vale control. The light way is to liy amicable measures first. The wrong way is the way adopted in this instance of blustering, thiealen ing, trying lo seine the turnpike com pany Into giving up Us lights. It has failed thus far and we haw little doubt that It will continue to fall. V.ii ships without sailors are Mtlu. Let congress increase the pvjrson;iel of l he navy. The President's View. WHAT President McKlnley thought of the iccent campaign and what he thinks of the result Is set forth by .Mr. WVUinan of the Tlines Herald, alter an Interview with the president. The hitter's views aie ex piessed mainly in the thlul person; but the coriespondeut'.-- version Is author ized. "Dining- the campaign," .Mr. AVell: man wtltes, "nothing gave, the piesl ileut so much pain, nothing so tempted him to break his rule of silence and to speak out, as ihc. elfori which vu made to poUou the minds of the young men of the country, to convince thein they had no future; tlmt they wete being enslaved, On this point Jlr. Mc Klnley speaks with impiessive earnest ness. The leaders of opposition tried to break down the faith of the young lit Anieilcan character and American institutions; Ihey tried to Inflame class against class; they tiled to Incite envy, nilstitist; they tiled to ralso up clouds of duikness and doubt, 'to make a tace of pessimists of those who naturally are and have a light to be optimists.' They tiled to crush hope hi the minds of- the young by tilling them there was.

Iwd fo many opportunities In pilvate einplvyniunt or the public service,' V '111 the lesult of the election,' says the president, 'I see nothing liner mid nunc Itnptcsslvu than this stluglpg ie buku to thosii false, teachers of our yputh.' Tim piesldojit has been In formed 'that npver beforo did the Uu piiblican patty have the mippoit of so ninny Hist voters ull the Itnpttbllciui first votms and ninny Democratic first voters, 'it is n splendid fclgn for the country when thu young men rally ii pout thu government, Mihoidinuting nil' other consUleiatloiiH to the. paltl ntli: iuipuUe,' ''President McKlnley llinls gie.tt sat Isfnction In thu Hilly uatlonul cliar.ic ter of Iho Itepubllcau vlctoiy, 'It Is nut confined to a section, but sweeps from ocean to ocean.'

An Urgent Christian Duty. IX A MMTKlt fiom Hie Kplscopal bishop of Texas, read to the con gregation of St. Luke's on Sun day by the rector, Dr. I Sogers Israel, tho statement was made that every Christian chinch In Galveston, and more than half of the churches In Hie area of the recent storm hud been cither wholly destioyed or so badly damaged as to need lebiilldlng, Xot only that, but practically the whole local financial support of these chut dies, and of the various mission ary and charitable activities connected with them, Is gone. The state of Texas, finin Its surplus In liensury, probably will vote money to rebuild tlie public buildings and larger Industilos of Galveston. Outside eou tilbutions are helping to keep the stricken people supplied as to their most urgent physical needs, tint unless the CluNli.in churches of the land put in money to levlve the suspended chinch and benevolent work, It may be years before the resident population of Galveston and Its vicinity will be In condition to restore It unaided. Tlie piospeet of a complete paralysis of re ligious activities in u center of desti tute and spiritually needful population in one of the states of this great Chris tian nation is dilllcult to contemplate, but it is impending and can bo averted only by pionipt and liberal Christian giving. In behalf of the needs tf the Kpisco p.tl diocese of Texas Dr. Israel has be sought contributions fiom the niembeis of St. Luke's parish, but It seems lo us that this is a situation calling for more general attention. or course Presidential McKinley will not Intel fere in tlie Pennsylvania son ntniinl light. Tlieie is no necessity for it and It is nut his stylr. independent Voting. AS SllOWfXC, how ibe polili i al pendulum swings, eight vents ago the ltepubllcan party was in n minority In the ('illicit Slates by more than a mil lion and a half votes while todav 1's mu.luiiiy over all opposition is from a qnaiier to a third of a million. In years gone by pres-iiientlnl elections were commonly cairicd by nnriow margins, parly lines being tlgbtlv drawn. Xowuday0 landslides are ,in vogue and the lendein y Is toward a greater personal Independence- In vot ing; toward a measuiing of pat tler.lar platforms and candidates Instead of a gulping down of party tickets regard less ol i onsequeiK cs. This tendency is well lllustiated in our own county. The last vole shows it in si dili'eicnce of nearly 7,000, or al most one-fouith of the total vote eitsl, nctweeii ibe ltepubllcan plurality for president and tlie Democratic pliual ity for Judge. 11 eio is an lllusl ration that party ties ate not ilveted and clinched as formerly and If another one is needed it is sVipplied In the recent vote of piolest given to Dr. Swallow. This glowing olasticll.s of popular judgment as signalized at the ballot box may or may not not be wise; many of our older citizens, aceustomel to be us ilgld in party fulih nn in i-lla-lous creed, undoubtedly deplore k as do those in parly politics for busi ness reasons. I3ut tho. fuel remains and If must be reckoned with. Foili'nutely tho tendency to weigh Issues carefullv, which Is uocelerntM by multiplying; pioeesses of pubilo edu cation tlitough the press, the pub i schools, the lectin.' platform, lb" f libraries and the numerous- and glov ing society inlluences offshootlng fr...a nulueiii (hutch woik, presents no p ril lo tepulnble mid prudent party muii ugemeut.

Vet to show what has already been done, wo quote again ftoin Protessor liriimbaugli, United Stutes commissioner of education In Porto Ulco; "Porto Klco Is well governed. Tho civil administration is managing tho untiio business of tjiu hinnd snfcly and economically, This will be , mani fest when It is known tlmt the gov ernment will dose this fiscal year barring calamities with u surplus in Hio treasury. And this Is the more credllnhto when It Is recalled that now roads tire being built, tt eoniplelu sani tary Inspection Inaugurated, w.w ceineterlos opem.il ft no to thu poor, nil government ploperty roptttroil nnd pul In good condition, IIOU new schooli openedi mi election conducted, a legis lature convened nnd the, tistml routine ot executive, Judicial ittul leglalntlvo duties perfor;ied. Governor Allen Is it safe nnd cnpable leader, lilt entire administration n great credit lo American rule In the tropics. "Under tlie military government, the United Stutes collected nbottt $2,000,000 for ciitoms on Porto ltlcnn goods. This money hns been returned by congress in tho Island upon npprovnl of the president of the United Htnles. Presi dent McKlnley litis assured mo tlmt n good mum! sum will bo ill oncu turned over to tho department of education, nnd It will be used lo erect, much needed school buildings In tho princi pal cities of tho islnnd. The president is anxious to put a strong, effective school system nnd judicial system upon the Island. Xo greater servlcu inn be rendered the people of Porto Itlco. In 'spile or silly and disgrun tled twaddlers, Hie United Slutes court lias been organlaed, and Is (illicitly and surely molding order and method In judicial proceduio on tho Island. Judge Tloit will hold cotitt at San .Ittun, J-'once and Mnynguez. Court Is now In session in San Juan." As a specimen ot what American rule Is doing in Porto Rico, tho Span iards lefl In San .limn about 0,000 olumos of good llteratuie, scattered in various plnces. These books Com missioner llrunibaiigb has gathered inlo a suite of convenient rooms In the "nstotlico building and by the sanction of the governor hns opened a live public library. Similar work tliiotigliout tlie Island, supplementing the common school education which just now is the main subject of Ameri can activity and energy, must have its "fleet sooner or later upon tho native population and convert into realities the promises made when Old Glory arose throughout the island.
