HERE there is one fly caster there are four bait casters, and where there are four bait casters there are four still fishers. Still fishing reedexter. Therefore, the ranks of its votaries are twenty deep.

Cleopatra, on the Nile, was another of them. Praed's nileman" did a little casting, but he permissioned to dangle so that Nell Gynne should handle the coronet bait. On every sunny English stream for five centuries past the still fisher has had sway. He has it yet, for it goes among the modern Englishmen who attend the walters will have his return passage pass consul at Liverpool. Champion still fisherman of them all was old Isaak. If some natural pre-embodiment of the future he him a quadruple-multiplying reel he will multiply over in a dead faint and been untouched thinking thereafter to write anything. The boy with bent pin and wrigling worm, spitting on his lure and carefully placing him in the deeper places of the shallow box hills down into the peaceful valley, is a still fisher. Perhaps he grows up and run a grocery store in a large town, and if he does, he will still fish. Everybody, in fact, who fishes and does not know how to fish is a still fisher. This art consists simply in selecting a bait and dropping it into the water and waiting for something to come, reflective art and, if persisted in, produces a chronic somnolence. Lawyers who leave the heated city in July and spend their vacations in still fishing go to court rooms and wake suddenly to "obey" the laws he have heard in their dreams. Physicians, weared of night cabs and attempts to collect fees, spend thirty days in the hospital for six weeks after prescribe more medicine place of quinine. Newpaper men, their nerves worn a little fine by twenty-five hours' work a day eight days in the lotus land of the bobbing cork and the untaut line, and when they return to the office are eminently fitted to the hospitals on the southward march of the town with Quincey had been a still fisher he would never have penned his "Confessions." He would have found success in toothache and utter rest in fishing. Bresci had followed this gentle request he would have stuffed his largest perch and sent it to Humbert as a token of love. There are no Anarchists among the still waters in an Anarchist is too much like work. The deadlessness of this method, as compared with fly casting, is supreme. The still fisherman will catch more fish than any time than the perfect scientist can imagine, a hundred feet against the wind, and sometimes he will catch forty-four hundred times as many fish. His success does not depend upon the selection of fish, but upon the insects that were never on sea or land, nor on the speed and regularity with which he is able to drag a glittering spoon and a choked, sombre frog through the water. It depends upon the water or not the water. An Ashland (Wis.) correspondent of the New York Sun. If they are hungry, he yanks them by the cord, and if they are not hungry, nobody can catch them. If they are hungry, they are hungry or not depends entirely upon the stage of the moon. In the dark of the moon, in the time of moonless nights, the under-water feeders are hungry because, they cannot see to catch them. In the down. In the light of the moon, when there is little difference between the surface of the lake or river between dark and daylight, they eat all night long, the fisherman gets after them the man who does no interest in anything he has to offer. Harmons is no doubt that fish are humorous and that they prefer one bait to another at various times with no apter. There reason therefor. The still fisherman. He has a variety of foods from which to tempt, just as the fly fisherman carries his book stuffed with a dozen standard files and fifty others that are merely of practical service. Of all the game fish, probably the Oswego bass, or green bass, or big-mouthed bass, is the most omnivorous and general feeder. Ordinarily it may be predicted safely that it is hungry, and if it is not hungry, it may be the fact that it has fed all night long, or else is ill. For this reason, on Western lakes and rivers, the big-mouth is the swimmer most sought by the still fisher. With this angler, weight of catch is the same, and when the Oswegoes are hungry they may be hooked and jerked or reeled in as fast as the man with the rod cares to work. To the voracious and hungry big-mouth all baits look alike, so that they are easy to catch them. Worms, salt pork, dead minnows, dead frogs, old venison, chicken entrails and pieces cut from other bass are seductive to its maw. Drop the edge of the boat, or dangle it in the water, exploring glutton himself; that is the secret. So far as the sport of it is concerned, it is a good deal like shooting a man's cow in his back yard. The pond filled with German carp; but it is not to be contended that any one else has the right to object. Still fishing for big-mouth bass is practiced generally from a boat on some small island lake. The man at the bank finds the bank until he finds a likely-thwart, one man on the rear thwart is ready with a steel rod, a decent ceil, a large hook, a line of medium stoutness and some bit of flesh on the hook; it does not matter particularly what it is. The hook can be frozen feet or and so seated in until the lumen is open. In the bottom. In a little while there will be a faint tug, and then the lime will move slowly through the water for a short time or right or left. The strain becomes a little more pronounced as the fisherman does not move. He is waiting for his victim to swallow the bait, or at least to get it so far into his body. There is no possibility of the hook's minsch moment having arrived, a mighty jerk is given, the bark sinks deeply into the soft mouth or pleces it entirely, there is dragging working of the reel, and thrilling so that the floppings may not alarm the fish which may be within a radius of twenty yards. The still fisher gets a lot of fun the fish, and the ottener in an hour that the fish happens the better pleased is he. The floppings cast of frog, minnow or spoon, cutting through the air for eighty feet and dropping to the surface with a slight twist to delicate sending of the fly, to slight bend naturally and delicately into the insect of them all. Here is not even the circling swing and rush of the fish, the copelled hand-line. It is just patient, thoughtlessly thoughtful murder. If a man wants to still-fish and do it rightly, the best thing he can do is to get himself a long, a stout linen line of at least eight feet, a large, keen hook, some live minnows or cork. Then when the fish strikes he can see the cork go under the water, which in itself is pleasing, can reef the in into his quarry with one quick stroke to get it into times on Wisconsin forest lakes when the same fashion would have an easier time sawing wood in. August sun. He goes through more exertion, goes faster, keeps it up longer and loses more time than any wood pile ever wring out of a man since wood plies were invented. The fellow who does this will tell the anxious inquirer, that he is having and yet if he were hired to do it at $4 a week, he would be a labor union and engineer a strike for longer and shorter hours inside of a week. There is an uncertainty about still-fishing, however, that lends it an undeable charm. For instance, a man has to be able to catch a dead. He hooks it through the lips and drops it overboard, being naturally anxious to get it out of sight and smell possible. The line cuts slowly through the water, baited at the end of it he must be permitted to run, because all bass, in seizing a frog, first grab it by the legs, carry it ten feet away, then reverse it to run. The bass can be heard first. For fear the seeker of food may be a bass, the angler sits still. There may be a hungry perch bothering him, or a pike, or a muskallonge of an liquor, or a dogfish. Anyhow, the advocate of the lesson of Izaak Walton never knows, until he sees his capture, what bass, he bass, he shakes hands with himself for the bass, or dogfish, he assures himself that the same thing is likely to happen to anybody, and once more casts his deceased batrachian into the water, hopelessly it will return to him after a few seconds. If the swimmers are not hungry and bite at irregular intervals of an hour or so, then the man too lazy to lie on the grass and hold on with both hands is oought to be happy. All that he has to do is wander around and compose an epic or a realistic novel. If there is a breeze ruffling the lake, it will wander coolly through his wet woolen shirt, and if there is not he will be too busy fighting mosquitoes to care whether school keeps or not, or the fish bite or not. It is possible, in this way, to start at 6 o'clock in the morning and stay in the boat until 7 o'clock in the evening and catch three fish, and imagine a day has only two hours long. After all, however, there is but one way in which to be a still-father and extract unlimited good from it. The (Continued on Third Fare) THE APPEAL. The Republican National Platform.

A GRAVE-ROBBING GHOST Count of Two Men for Elk Tushes of Dead Indians—Indian Squaws That Wear Dresses Worth One or Two Thousand Dollars—A Night Square Both Sides—Appliquents of a Dain Medicine Man of the Sloux. JEWELERS and collectors of cuties recently awake to the fact that elk cuties were scared and poisoned by the price of a good tush went up, and up, until at present it is worth $5 or more. The cause of this rise is the demand for them by members of the Order of Elk who use them for ornaments. The tushes of an elk have the same position in its jaw as those of a bear, but instead of being long, slender and sharp pointed like the bear's, they are flat and flat with an outline much like that of a pear. The outer surface is covered with a substance known to naturalists as ivorled, much finer grained than true ivory and shading from a pure white to a deep pink yellowish brown at the end. When the Old Timer learned that elk tushes had become so valuable, he mentally kicked himself. In earlier years when collecting curios from the Indians, hows, shields, quivers and all sorts of tushes were manufactured, he had acquired, for the small equivalent of two bottles of fire water, a string of several thousand tushes. But, alas! in a generous and irresponsible moment, he had presented them to an amateur who thought that they would look well in the collection of curios he had in his Eastern home. However, there was no use of bewailing his luck, so he hitched up a team and drove over to the reservation, expecting to purchase a lot of tushes. He had to make and make a fortune. In a couple of hours he drew up in front of the home of Wide-eared-bur. The Old Timer hitched his team and smoked a pine with the Wide-eared-bur. They talked of other days, of their tushes, of the great plains. Finally the Old Timer brought the conversation around to the subject he was interested in—elk tushes. "Well," the Old Timer said, "there's a man in Motana who is going to own one or two of them and he is sitting in the room, looking at me. Now, Marla, I'm going to rob some of those squaw graves. What do you say?" he continued, turning to the scribbler, "will you go in with me? I believe we will. I don't want you to do anything, don't it will be kind of exciting, amazing." The Scribbler was willing. The next afternoon the would-be grave robbers saddled their horses and struck off through the hills for the reservation, but the robbers were unlikely to meet any one, Indian white. The Old Timer knew that a wife of Elk Moon, long since dead, had owned a beautiful tush-garnished gown. If he could find her grave he was sure that the expedition would be successful. The high ridge commanding a view of Elk Moon's camp. Dismounting before they reached the top, they crept cautiously to the crest, and with their glasses swept the valley below. There was the camp; a dozen rude cubs, and as many wild dogs, with their wood grove which framed the river. Between the timber and the foot of the hill a level, open flat some two hundred yards wide intervened. Then, bench after bench, the ridge rose in a canyon, and the wood grove concealed in the grass. On the first of these benches, but a few yards above the level of the valley, and directly opposite the camp, were the graves they sought, a number of rude, rough box boards resting on the ground. The Indians of the valley, who had been the light, will not consent to have their dead lowered into a deep, damp hole and covered with earth. Formerly their dead were wrapped in robes and lashed on a scaffold or in the branches of a tree, and the ropes would not be broken, a coffin cannot be obtained, as is often the case. By the time the two men had finished their cold meat and bread and washed it down with a bottle of beer it was dainty, and leading their horses they slowly moved, and were nine of them in all, five side by side on the ground, the other four forming a second tier. The Old Timer at once began to pry the cover off the nearest door, squeaked loudly, and involuntarily both men hold their breath and listened, wondering if the harsh, grating sound had been heard over at the camp, where the lodges were lit up by the evening fire, and the men of voices through the still night air. "I guess they didn't hear us," said the Old Timer presently, and with a mighty wrench he tore the cover completely off, and the men of voices through the pocket lamp, and pressing the spring, floored the interior of the box with light for a second, disclosing to a view a long roll of quills tightly bound and laced with a string, and placed it on the ground cut the $2.40 PER YEAR thongs and unrolled it. Quit after quit, blanket after blanket was removed, and, then the limp spring was again pressed, and the limp spring was again pressed, in all the bravery of war, the buckskin shirt and leggings, the white ermine skin fringe as bright and spotless as if they were made of mannequin skin, the face had shrieved and dried down tightly over the bones; the thick black hair neatly parted and braided, still rearranged and lustered. One the dried shirt hood he met made the other grasped the handle of a sacred mouth, filled no doubt with many a curious thing. These the Scrubbler took as his legitimate spoils. "No tushes here," exclaimed the Old Man impatiently. "Men never move en. Well, As quietly as they could and with many a guilty stall when the rails squeaked, ofen stopping to listen, straining their eyes in their endowser to gingerly pull the camp, they opened box after box and unrolled the contents, invariably bound and wrapped in quilts and blankets. Six boxes had been opened and not a colleceted and placed in a pile a lot of old-time weapons, pipes, ornaments and medicine things, which fully repaid him for his trouble, even if he got no tushes, when the last wrapping had been removed the lamp flipped upon a backskin dress garnished with large elk tushes, row after row of them extending from the back of the Old Timer, that's the one wrapped the Old Timer with, the one I was looking for" and slitting the gown lengthwise and down the sleeves he jerked it loose from the dried bones and flesh it encased. He guarded a great comation over at the camp; excited calls and yells, and next the rapid beat of horses' hoofs on the dry hard ground coming nearer and nearer. "Qoow! get on your horse and ride for your life," said the Old Timer. A moment later the two desecrators of graves were fairly flying up the bill, setting the spurs on the horses at every jump. Up over the ridge, down the corner, up the hill, up the prairie, regardless of the darkness, of badger holes and washouts, they urged their animals onward until the poor beasts gasped for breath and could run no further, then they stopped and listened. Not a sound was to be heard save the long, barely howl of a wolf far to the westward. "The wicked fleeed when no man parsueh," quoted the Scribber. "Huh!" the other answered. "We were pursued all right enough, but no Indian horse was there." Flooded fleeced horses of mine. Thank your horse, you rode one of them to-night. Say, Did you save any of that medicine stuff? "Not a thing; not even a pipe. I hadn't time." "Well, I've got the cross here, never let go of it. Come on, let's get home as soon as possible." When daylight came they stopped at a little stream for a drink and then cut the tushes from the dress; there were three large, all high, perfect and beautifully dressed, saddlebags, they hurried on again and arrived at the ranch in time for the early breakfast. Aunt Mina was greatly pleased with their success. "Sell them an quickly as you can," she said. "I will give you a payoff and about pay for that new buggy I want and I want it right away." Several days passed by and then a afternoon an Indian from Elk Mountain, looking for some stray ponds came to the ranch. After he had stowed his things, Mina thought Maria would burst, and had been provided with pipe and tobacco, he unfolded a wild and hair-raising grape of a ghost that desecrated the graves of his kindred and stamped some graves badly that they had left the country. At least, they couldn't be found. "We were sitting in Eik Moon's lodge," he said, "talking and smoking, when one of the women, happening to go outside, came up and grabbed the glove on the hillside by the graves. We all rushed out and stood looking; we knew right away that something was wrong, for the six ponies piecked on the hillside, and the men running about at the ends of their ropes were unsteady. Pretty soon we saw the ghost: he was standing near the graves looking right at us, and his body shoe with a black heel, for the space of a lighting flash and then all was dark again. The women screamed, the children cried, the horses broke their ropes or pulled the pickles and disappeared. We were scared. We were scared. We were scared. Eik Moon's cabin, fastered the door, covered the windows and remained until morning. As soon as daylight came, most people left in the daytime; they go away somewhere and back. So we went on and looked around. The graves of our relatives had been pulled down. We were over there and found that there were black quilts, were scattered all around; a lot of weapons and medicine things had been placed in a little pile and the eik tress of Eik Moon's dead wife was miscarried. "I suppose the ghost took it," the Old Timer remarked. "Yes, of course," the Indian replied. "We think we know who the ghost was: a man who was a medicine man in battle. Likely the Sloux's spirit has been wandering around all these years looking for his slayer, and now that he has found where Elk Moon lives we fear he will do us great harm. Only he is right a woman he heard him tell us about. We need to get up and build fires to scare him away." All this the Old Timer translated to "Aunt Maria and the Scribler, as if Indian frequently passed and took a few pictures of him. Indian continued; "And now, Leffhard, I did not come here to-day in search of ponies alone. I also came to ask your aid. We Indians are a poor people; after our relatives and friends are once dead we must go to the town again, for our religion forbids it. Our hearts are sad to see their remains scattered out there on the prairie, food for the wolves and storms. But white men are different; they fear nothing on this earth."

WHAT BRYAN REFUSED TO DO. Philip Jackson, an Afro-American Democrat of Charleston, W. Va., asked Bryan to sign the following: "I DO NOT COUNTENANCE THE JIM CROW LAW OR ANY OTHER MEASURE THAT DISCRIMINATES AGAINST ANY AMERICAN CITIZEN ON ACCOUNT OF COLOR." BRYAN REFUSED, SAYING: "I DO NOT WANT ANY NEW ISSUES INJECTED INTO THE CAMPAIGN." The Chicago Chronicle, a leading Democratic daily, refers to the Filipinos as a "parcel of saddle colored niggers on the other side of the globe." The Democrats are using the alleged woes of the Filipinos just now during the campaign, but when the election is over they will have no more use for the brown men of the Orient than they now have for the black men of America. Bishop Turner has issued his long-looked for declaration for Bryan. He says he is for Bryan because "he represents the same broad principles that Abraham Lincoln espoused." Abraham Lincoln gave liberty to 4,000,000 slaves. William Jennings Bryan represents the party which has taken liberty from 6,000,000 Afro-Americans in the South.

The Democratic policemen were allowed to beat Afro-Americans to their hearts content. At the recent Democratic primaries in South Carolina there were 84,000 votes cast by whites and of these 31,000 were registered against Tillman's return to the Senate. It means that Pitchfork Tillman is losing his strength even among the South Carolina whites who can stomach almost anything. Capital is as sensitive as virtue and involuntary shrinks from whatever would affect it. The combined capital of the country recoils from Bryan and views him with the same horror that the image worshipers did the Iconoclasts. Bishop Turner declares that Lincoln's mantle fits the shoulders of Bryan. Lincoln and Bryan are as far apart as the ends of the earth. It is almost a sacrilege to compare Bryan to the great Emancipator. The Afro-Americans are laboring people and they ought to be interested in the kind of money they receive for their labor. Honest toil should receive as pay honest dollars, not Bryan currency. Senator Tillman is the most abusive speaker in Congress on any subject concerning the Afro-American. Senator Tillman is the man who will be ROOSEVELT KNOCKS PETTIGREWS FEN Bryan's adviser in case of Democratic success. There were 260 commissioned Afro-American officers in the Spanish-American war. These men were appointed by McKinley and their pay amounted to nearly one-half million dollars. The blood of thousands of innocent Afro-Americans is upon Senator Tillman. Bloody butcheries of black men have given him the place he occupies. Tillman is the back bone of the Bryan party. "The spirit of the Republican party does not know the white man nor the black man. All stand equal before it as they should stand equal before the law."—Hon. John M. Langston. The Democrats said that Maine would protest against McKinley. The "protest" came in the shape of the largest Republican plurality, with two exceptions, in its history. There were 15,048 Afro-Americans in the Spanish-American war. They served under Afro-American officers commissioned by a Republican President—William McKinley. President McKinley distributed the official rewards for the great triumph in 1896 with rare tact and judgment. ```markdown ``` Gifford HENRY C.

NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF THE WELSH-RAREBIT YOU ATE LAST NIGHT DYSPEPSIA AND BAD DREAMS CURED BY TAKING JOHNSON'S Digestive Tablets HOW TO HAVE EASY, HEALTHY, SHAPELY FEET --- PRESIDENT M'KINLEY'S LETTER ACCEPTING THE PRESIDENT MKYNLEY'S letter of acceptance is probably the most important unofficial document issued in this country in a quarter of a century. The President takes the country into his confidence and throws a new light upon the history of the past two years. Irrespective of its caustic arraignment of the critics of the administration and its forceful clinching of the fact that Bryanism means the "immediate" destruction of the gold standard and substitution thereof of free silver coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1, the letter is important in the historic sense because it gives the American people their first knowledge of the statesmanship and conditions connected with recent epoch-making events. The President, although by nature a mild and conciliatory man, can be aroused to a point of dangerous combativeness, and when the mood is on him he becomes one of the most effective debaters, we have had in this country for many years. In his letter he wastes no time in what might be called preliminary sparring, but, having definitely located the enemy's vital spot, which is the free silver heresy, he strikes at it with force and precision. The financial question, he says, may not be the paramount issue, but it is the immediate issue. "It will admit of no delay and will suffer no postponement." For has not the Democratic party declared the "immediate" colonage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 17. And is there any doubt that Mr. Bryan, who insisted upon the insertion of the silver plank in the plattform, against the advice of the best man in the party, will use every means, if he is elected, to carry his principles into practice? After paying the tribute of his regret that the Democratic party by its nominee and its reiteration of the free silver planks of 1896 has made it necessary for the voters to reaffirm their decision of four years ago in favor of the existing gold standard, President McKinley boldly plucks up the gage of battle on the issue of imperialism. What that issue is he states most happily in a single paragraph near the end of his letter. After he has marshaled the facts which place the whole controversy in the clearest possible historical light before the reader, he says: The American question is between duty and desertion—the American verdict will be for duty and against desertion, for the Republic against both anarchy and imperialism. As a campaign document the letter is regarded as phenomenally strong. But it is more than a campaign document. It is a contribution to history. The President deals candidly with the American people. He is not afraid to tell them what he has done or why he did it. He deals in facts rather than in arguments. TEXT OF THE LETTER. President's Views on Free Silver and the Philippine Question. Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C. Sept. 8—To the Hon. Henry Cobot Lodge Chairman Notification Committee—My Dea Sir: The nomination of the Republican national convention of June 19, 1000, for the office of President of the United States, which, as the official representative of the convention, you have converved to me, is accepted. I have carefully examined the adopted and give it my heavy approval. Upon the great issue of the last national election it is clear. I uphold the gold standard and indores the legislation of the present Congress by which that standard has been effectively strengthened. The stability of our national currency is, therefore, secure so long as we adhere to this platform are kept in control of the govern- Same Issues Involved. In the first battle, that of 1806, the friends of the gold standard and of sound currency were trumpet and the country is enjoying the fruits of that victory. Our antagonists, however, are not satisfied. They compel us to a second battle upon the same lines on which the first was fought and won. While regretting the reopening of this question, which can only disturb the present satisfactory financial condition of the government and visit uncertainty upon our great business enterprises, we accept the money and force to join in winning another war. we hope a permanent triumph for an honest financial system which will continue inviolable the public faith. All Loyal to Silver. As in 1808, the three silver parties are united under the same leader, who, immediately after the election of that year, in an address to the bimetallists, said: "The friends of bimetallism have not been vanquished; they have simply been overcome. They believe that the gold standard is a conspiracy of the money changers against the welfare of the human race—and they will continue the warfare against it." The policy thus proclaimed has been accepted and confirmed by these parties. The silver Democratic platform of 1800 continues the warfare against the no-called gold conspiracy, expressly says: "We reiterate the need that the (the Chicago) platform of 1898 for an American financial system made by the American people for themselves, which shall restore and maintain a bimetallic price level; and as part of such system the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation." The Paramount Issue. So the issue is presented. It will be noted that the demand is for the immediate restoration of the free coinage of silver at 18 to 19 cents per coin, the Paramount, this is immediate. It will admit no delay and will suffer no postponement. Turning to the other associated parties, we and 14 the Populus national platform adopted at Sioux Falls, S. D., May 10, 1800, the following declaration: "We pledge anew the People's party never to cease the agitation until this financial conspiracy is blotted from the statute book, and to backrestored, the bonds all paid and all sold to the public, retired. We reaffirm the demand for the reopening of the mints of the United States for the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, the immediate increase in the volume of silver coins and certificates thus created to substituted, dollar for dollar, for the banked deposit by private corporations under special privilege, granted by law of March 14, 1000, and prior national banking laws." Declare Their Hostility The platform of the silver party adopted the platform of 6, 1300, makes the following announcement: "We declare it to be our intention to lend our efforts to the repeal of this currency law, which not only repudiates the ancient and time-honored principles of the American people before the Constitution was but is violative of the principles of the Constitution itself. We shall not cease our efforts until there has been lished in its place a monetary system based upon the free and unlimited colage of silver and gold into money at the present legal ratio of 18 to 1 by the independent action of the United States, under which system all paper money shall be issued by the govern- ment and such money coined or issued shall be full legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private, without exception." Combine Against Gold In all three platforms these parties announce that their efforts shall be unceasing until the gold act shall be blotted from the statute books and the free and unlimited colage of silver at 16 to 1, shall take its place. The relative importance of the issues I do not stop to discuss. All of them are important. Whichever party is successful will be bound in conscience to carry into administration and legislation its several declarations and doctrines. One declaration will be as obligatory as another, but all are not imminent. It is not possible that these parties would treat the doctrine of 16 to 1, the immediate realization of which is demanded by their several platforms, as void and imperative in the event that they should be clothed with power. Otherwise their profession of faith is insincere. It is therefore the imperative business of those opposed to this treaty to prevent the triumph of the parties and to ensure only assured by adherence to the silver issue. Facing Grave Peril. Will the American people, through indifference or fancied security, hazard the overthrow of the wise financial legislation of the last year and revive the danger of the silver standard, with all of the inevitable evils of shattered confidence and general disaster justly alarmed and aroused in 1867? The Chicago platform of 1800 is reaffirmed in its entirety by the Kansas City convention. Nothing has been omitted or recalled; so that all the perils then threatened are presented anew with the added force of a deliberate reaffirmation. Four years ago the people refused to place the seal of their revolutionary policies, and the danger and revolutionary policies, and the danger and not fall to record again their earliest success. Faithful to Pledges: The Republican party remains faithful to its principle of a tariff which supplies sufficient revenues for the government and adequate protection to our enterprises and producers, and of reciprocity, which opens foreign markets to the fruits of American labor and furnishes new channels through which to market the surplus of American farms. The time-honored principles of protection and reciprocity were the first pledges of Republican victory to be written into public law. The present Congress has given to Alaska a territorial government for which it had waited more than a quarter of a century; has established a representative government in Hawaii; has enacted bills for the most liberal treatment of the pensioners and their widows; has revived the free homestead policy. In its great financial law it provided for the establishment of banks of issue with a capital of $25,000 for the benefit of villages and rural communities, bringing the opportunity for profitable business in banking in the reach of moderate capital. Many are ready availing themselves of this privilege. Some Convincing Figures. Prosperity in General. Our industrial and agricultural conditions are more promising than they have been for many years; probably more so than they have ever been. Prosperity abounds everywhere throughout the republic. I rejoiced that the Southern as well as the Northern States are enjoying a full share of these important coal conditions and that all are contributing "eely to our remarkable industrial development." The money lender receives lower rewards for his capital than if it were invested in active business. The rates of interest are lower than they have ever been in this country, while those things which are produced on the farm and in the workshop, and the labor producing them, have advanced in value. Our foreign trade shows a satisfactory and increasing growth. "The amount of our ex- PRESIDENT M'KINLEY. ports for the year 1900 over those of the exceptionally prosperous year of 1898 was about half a million dollars for every day of the year, and these sums have gone into the homes and enterprises of the people. This has been an increase of over $0,000,000 in the industrial and commercial products, $2,693,220 in manufactures and the products of the miles of over $10,000,000. . Big Gains in Trade. Our trade balances cannot fail to give satisfaction to the people of the country. In 1898 we sold abroad $615,432,676 of products more than we bought abroad, in 1899 $329,874,513 and in 1900 $544,471,701, making during the three years a total balance in our favor of $1,698,769,190—nearly five times the balance of trade in our favor for the whole period of 108 years from 1790 to June 20, 1997 inclusive. Four hundred and thirty-six million dollars of gold have been added to the gold stock of the United States since July 1, 1896. The law of March 14, 1900, authorized the refunding into 2 per cent bonds of that part of the public debt represented by the 3 per cents due in 1908, the 4 per cents due in 1907 and the 5 per cents due in 1904, aggregating $840,000. More than one-third of the sum of these bonds was refunded in the first three months after the passage of the act, and on Sept. 1 the sum had been increased more than $330,000, making in all $330,578,050, resulting in a net saving of over $379,290. Government Saving Money. The ordinary receipts of the government for the fiscal year 1900 were $79,527,060 in excess of its expenditures. While our receipts both from customs and internal revenue have been greatly increased, our expenditures have been decreasing. Civil and miscellaneous expenses for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1900 were nearly $14,000,000 less than in 1898, while on the war account there is a decrease of more PRESIDENT than $85,000,000. There was required $85,000,000 less to support the navy this year than last, and the expenditures on account of Indians were nearly two and three-quarter of dollars less than in 1890. The only two years in which public expenses of 1000 over 1890 are for pensions and interest on the public debt. For 1890 we expended for pensions $139,394,929 and for the fiscal year 1900 our payments on this account amounted to $140,877,316. The increase of interest on the public debt of 1890 required by the war loan was $263,485.25. Bonds, Speedily Taken. While Congress authorized the government to make a war loan of $400,000,000 at the beginning of the war with Spain, only 200,000,000 of bonds was issued, bearing 3 per cent interest, which were promptly and properly repaid. Unless something unforeseen occurs to reduce our revenues or increase our expenditures, the Congress at its next session should reduce taxation very materially. Fifty years ago we were selling government bonds bearing as high as 5 per cent interest. Now we are redeeming them with a 25 per cent interest. We are selling our securities and leading our surplus money to Europe. Europe Is Our Debtor: One result of our selling to other nations so much more than we have bought from them during the past three years is a radical improvement of our financial relations. The great amounts of capital which have been borrowed of Europe for our rapid, material development have remained a constant drain upon our resources for interest and dividends and made our money markets liable to constant disturbances by calls for payment or heavy sales of our securities whenever money stringency or panic occurred abroad. We have now been paying these debts and bringing home many of our securities and establishing countervailing credits abroad by our loans and placing ourselves upon a sure foundation of financial independence. In the unfortunate contest between Great Britain and the Boer states of South Africa the States has maintained an attitude of neutrality in accordance with well-known traditional policy. It did hesitate, however, when requested by the governments of the South African republics, to exercise its good offices for a cessation of hostilities. Did What We Could. It is to be observed that while the South American republics made like request of other power to accept the intervention of any power, which complied. The British government declined to accept the intervention of any power. Ninety-one per cent of our exports and imports are low carried by foreign ships. For ocean transportation we pay annually to foreign ship owners over $165,000,000. We ought to own the ships for our carrying trade with the world, and we ought to build them in American shipyards and man them with American sailors. Our own citizens should receive the transportation charges now paid to foreigners. I have called the attention of Congress to this subject in my several annual messages. In that of Dec. 6, 1897, I said: "Most desirable from every standpoint of national interest and patriotism is the effort to extend our foreign commerce. To this end we should be improved and enlarged. We should have full power of the carrying trade of the world. We do not do it now. We should be the laggard no longer." In my message of Dec. 5, 1899, I said: "Our national development will be one-sided and unsatisfactory so long as the remarkable growth of our inland industries remains unaccompanied by progress on the seas. There is no lack of constitutional authority. There is no lack of governmental strength maritime strength and with its industrial achievements and with its rank among the nations of the earth. "The past year has recorded exceptional activity in our shipyards, and the promises of continual prosperity in shipbuilding are abundant. Advanced legislation for the protection of our seamen has been enacted. Our trade coast, under regulations wisely framed and since, shows its results for the most fast year unequaled in our records or those of any other power. Need of the Canal. "We shall fall to realize our opportunities, however, if we complacently regard only matters at home and blind ourselves to the necessity of securing our share in the valuable carrying trade of the world. "I now relegate these views. M'KINLEY. "A subject of immediate importance to our country is the completion of a great waterway of commerce between the Atlantic and Pacific. The construction of a maritime canal is now more than ever indispensable to that intimate and ready communication between our eastern and western seas for the navigation and exclamation of the Hawaiian Islands and the location of our influence and trade in the Pacific. "Our national policy more imperatively than ever calls for its completion and control by this government, and it is believed that the next session of Congress, after receiving the full report of the commission under the act approved March 3, 1890, will make the sure accomplishment of this great work. Would Restrict Trusts Combinations of capital which control the market in commodities necessary to the general use of the people by suppressing natural and ordinary competition, thus enhancing prices to the general consumer, are obnoxious to the common law and the public welfare. They are dangerous conspiracies against the public good, and should be made the subject of prohibition or penal legislation. Publicity will be a helpful influence to check this evil. Uniformity of legislation in the different States should be secured. Discrimination between what is injurious and what is useful and necessary in business operations is essential to the wise and effective treatment of this subject. Honest co-operation of capital is necessary to meet new business conditions and extend our rapidly increasing foreign trade conspiracies and combinations intended to restrict business, create monopolies and control prices should be effectively restrained. Best Friends of Labor The best services of labor. The best services can be rendered to labor is to afford it an opportunity for steady and remunerative employment and give it every encouragement for advancement. The policy that subserves this end is the true American policy. The past three years have been more satisfactory to American workingmen than many preceding years. Any change of the present industrial or financial policy of the government would be disastrous to their highest interests. With prosperity at home and an increasing foreign market for American products employment should continue to wait upon labor, and with the present gold standard employment against payment for his labor in a depreciated wage. Labor a short day is better than a short dollar. One will lighten the burdens, the other lessens the rewards of toil. The one will promote contentment and independence, the other penny and want. Speaks for Good Wages. The wages of labor should be adequate to keep the home in comfort, educate the child. Defective Page dren, and, with thrift and economy, lay something by for the days of infirmity and old age. Practical civil service reform has always had the support and encouragement of the Republican party. The future of the merit system is safe in its hands. During the present administration as occasions have arisen for modification or amendment in the existing civil service law and rules, they have been made. Important amendments were promulgated by executive decree on May 29, 1889, having for their principal purpose the exception from competitive examination of certain places in involving fiduciary responsibilities or duties of a strictly confidential, scientific or executive character, which it was thought might better be filled by noncompetitive examination or by other tests of fitness in the discretion of the appointing officer. Value of Merit System. It is gratifying that the experience of more than a year has vindicated these changes in the marked improvement of the public services. The merit system, as far as practicable, is made the basis for appointments to office in our new territory. The American people are profoundly grateful to the soldiers, sailors and marines who have in every time of conflict fought their country's battles and defended its honor. The survivors and the widows and orphans of those who have fallen are justly entitled to receive the generous and considerate care of the nation. Few are now left of those who fought in the Mexican war, and while many of the veterans of the Civil War are still spared to us their numbers are rapidly diminishing and age and infirmity are increasing their dependence. These, with the soldiers of the Spanish war, will not be neglected by their grateful countrymen. The pension laws had been liberal. They should be justly diminished and will be. Preference should be given to the soldiers, sailors and marines, their widows and orphans, with respect to employment in the public service. Kept Faith with Cuba. We have been in possession of Cuba since the first of January, 1899. We have restored order and established domestic tranquility. We have fed the starving, clothed the naked, and ministered to the sick. We have improved the sanitary condition of the island. We have stimulated industry, introduced public education, and taken a full and comprehensive enumeration of the inhabitants. The qualification of electors has been settled and under it officers have been chosen for all the municipalities of Cuba. These local governments are now in operation, administered by the people. Our military establishment has been reduced from 43,000 to less than 6,000. "An election has been ordered to be held on the 15th of September under a fair election law already tried in the municipal elections, to choose members of a constitutional convention, and the convention, by the same order, is to assemble on the first Monday of September in an independent government for the island will rest. All this is a long step in the fulfillment of our sacred guarantees to the people of Cuba. Plans for Porto Rico. We hold Porto Rico by the same title as the Philippines. The treaty of peace which ceded us the one conveyed to us the other, Congress has given to this island a government in which the inhabitants participate, elect their own legislature, enact their own local laws, provide their own system of taxation, and in these respects have the same power and privileges enjoyed by other territories belonging to the United States and a much larger measure of self-government than was given to the inhabitants of Louisiana under Jefferson. A district court of the United States for Porto Rico has been established and has inaugurated, all of which are in operation. The generous treatment of the Porto Ricans accords with the most liberal thoughts of our own country and encourages the best aspirations of the people of the island. While they do not have instant free commercial intercourse with the United States, Congress complied with my recommendation by removing, on the 1st day of May, 85 per cent of the duties and last for the removal of the remaining 15 per cent of the debts of 2002, or earlier if the legislature of Porto Rico shall provide local revenues for the expenses of conducting the government. Island Is Profited. During this intermediate period Porto Rican products come into the United States pay a tariff of 15 per cent of the rates under the Dingley act and our goods go into Porto Rico pay a like rate. The duties thus paid and collected both in Porto Rico and the United States are paid to the government and the government thereof is taken by the national government. All of the duties from Nov. 1, 1898, to June 30, 1900, aggregating the 'sum of $2,250,533.21, paid at the custom houses in the United States upon Porto Rican products, under the laws existing prior to the above mentioned act of Congress, have gone into effect. We are obliged to relieve the destitute and for schools and for purposes. In addition to this, we have expended for relief, education and improvement of roads the sum of $1,513,084.95. Military Force Cut Down: Military Force Cut Down. The United States military force in the islands has been reduced from 11,000 to 1,500, and move Porto Rica consulate for the United States to be completely under the new law and the inauguration of civil government there has been a gratifying revival of business. The manufactures of Porto Rico are developing; her imports are increasing; her tariff is yielding increased returns; her fields are being cultivated; free schools are being established; embarkments incident to a change in government; she is rapidly showing the good effects of her new relations to this nation. For the sake of full and intelligent understanding of the Philippine question and to give to the people authentic information of the acts and aims of the administration, I present at some length the events of importance to the people of the Philippines. The purposes of the executive are best revealed and can best be judged by what he has done and is doing. Every Move for Peace. It will be seen that the power of the government has been used for the liberty, the peace and the prosperity of the Philipite, and the empire has been emptied only against force which stood in the way of the realisation of these ends. On the 25th day of April, 1888, Congress declared that a state of war existed between Spain and the United States. On May 1, 1888, Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay. On May 19, 1889, Mam. Gen. Merritt, U. S. A., was placed in command of the military expedition to Manila and directed among other things to immediately "publish a proclamation declaring that we come not to make war upon the people of the Philippines nor upon any part or function among them, but to protect them in their employments, in their personal rights, in their persons, who either by active participation, submission, co-operate with the United States in its efforts to give effect to this beneficent purpose will receive the reward of its support and protection." Some Fortunes of War. On July 8, 1888, the Spanish fleet in attempting to escape from Santiago harbor was destroyed by the American fleet, and on July 17, 1888, the Spanish garrison is the city of Santiago surrendered to the commander of the Ambergris. Following these brilliant victories, on the 12th day of August, 1888, upon the initiative of Spain, hostilities were suspended, and a protecet was signed with a view to arranging terms of peace between the two governments. in pursuance thereof T appointed as commissioners the following distinguished citizens to conduct the negotiations on the port of the United States: Hon. William K. Day of Ohio, Hon. William P. Frye of Minnesota, Hon. George Gray of Delaware and Hon. Whitale Leid of New York. Forced Into Conflict. In addressing the peace commission before its departure for Paris, I said: "It is my wish that throughout the negotiations intrusted to the commission the purpose and spliz with which the United States accepted the unwelcome necessity of war should be kept constant in view. We took up arms only in obedience to the dictates of humanity and the fulfilment of high public and moral obligations. We had no design of aggrandizement and no ambition of conquest. "Through the long course of repeated representations which preceded and aimed to deliver the struggle and in the final arbitration of force this country was impelled solely by the purpose of relieving grievous wrongs and long existing conditions which disturbed its tranquility, which shocked the moral senses of kind and which could not be ignored by me."

Shirked No Responsibility. On Oct. 28, 1830, while the peace commission was continuing its negotiations in Paris, the following additional instruction was sent: "It is imperative upon us that as victors we should be governed only by motives which will exalt our nation. Territorial expansion should be our least concern; that we shall not shirk the moral obligations of our victory is of the greatest. It is undisputed that Spain's authority is permanently attached in every part of the Philippines. To leapfrog part in her feeble control now would increase our difficulties and be opposed to the interest of humanity. * * * Nor can we permit Spain to transfer any of the islands to another power. Nor can we invite another power or powers to join the United States in sovereignty over them. We must either hold them or turn them back to Spain. Only One Honorable Course Could Not Abandon Them and Not Abandon Them. Agath, on Nov. 15, 1 instructed the com missing; "From the standpoint of indemnity, both the archipelagoes (Porto Rico and the Philippines) are insufficient to pay our war expenses, but aside from this, we do not weave an obligation to the people of the Philippines which will not permit us to return them to the sovereignty of Spain? Could we justify ourselves in such a course, or could we permit their barter to some other power? "Willingly or not, we have the responsibility of duty, which we cannot escape. * * The President cannot believe any division of the archipelago can bring us anything but embarrassment in the future. The trade and commercial side, as well as the individual and personal questions we might yield. They might be compromised, but the questions of duty and humanity appeal to the President so strongly that he can find no appropriate answer but the one he has here marked out. Terms of the Treaty. The treaty of peace was concluded on Dec. 10, 1508. By its terms the archipelagoes known as the Philippine Islands, was founded by Spain to the United States. It was also provided that "the civil rights and political NOMINATION OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. status of the native inhabitants of the territories hereby ceded to the United States shall be determined by the Congress." Eleven days thereafter, on Dec. 21, the following direction was given to the commander of our forces in the Philippines: "The military commander of the United States is enjoined to make known to the inhabitants of the Philippines what is succeeding to the sovereignty of Spain, in severing the former political relations of the inhabitants and in establishing a new political power, the authority of the United States is to be exerted for the securing of the persons and property of the people of the islands and for the confimation of all their private rights and relations. It will be the duty of the commander of the forces of occupation to announce and proclaim in the most public manner that we come not only to the protection of our people but to protect the natives in their homes, in their employments and in their personal and religious rights." Sent a Commission. In order to facilitate the most humane, pacific and effective extension of authority throughout these islands, and to secure, with the least possible delay, the benefits of a wise and generous protection of life and property to the inhabitants, I appointed in 1981 the following officers: Jacob Gould Schurman of New York, Admiral George Dewey, U. S. N. ; Charles Deny of Indiana, Professor Dean C. Worcester of Michigan, and Major General Elwell S. Ots, U. S. A. Their instructions contained the following: "In the performance of this duty the commissioners are enjoined to meet at the city of Manila, and to announce by public proclamation their presence and the mission intrusted to them, carefully setting forth that, while the military government already proclaimed is to be maintained and continued so long as necessity may require, efforts will be made to alleviate the burden of taxation, to establish industrial and commercial prosperity, to improve the quality of property by such means as may be found conductive to these ends. Given Careful Instructions. "The commissioners will endeavor, without interference with the military authorities of the United States now in control of the Philippines, to ascertain what amelioration in the condition of the inhabitants and what improvements in public order may be practicable, and for this purpose they will study attentively the existing social and political state of the various populations, particularly as regards the forms of local poverty, the collection of customs and other taxes, the means of transportation, and the need of public improvements. They will report * * * the results of their observations and reflections, and will recommend such executive action as may from time to time seem to them wise and useful. "The commissioners are hereby authorized to confer authoritatively with any persons resident in the islands from whom they may believe themselves able to derive information on the conditions and poses of their commission, or whom they may choose to employ as agents, as may be necessary for this purpose. * * * Avoided Harsh Measures. "It is my desire that in all their relations with the inhabitants of the islands the commissioners exercise due respect for all the ideals, customs and institutions of the tribes which compose the population, emphasizing upon all occasions the just and beneficent intentions of the government of the United States. It is also my wish and expectation that the commissioners may be received in a manner due to the honored and authorized representatives of the American Republic, duly commissioned on account of their knowledge, skill and integrity as bearers of the good will, the protection and the richest blessings of a liberating rather than a conquering nation." On the 6th of February, 1899, the treaty was ratified by the Senate of the United States, and the Congress immediately appropriated $20,000 to carry out its proclamations were exchanged by the United States and Spain on the 11th of April, 1899. As early, as April, 1889, the Philippine commission, of which Dr. Schurman was president, endearced to bring peace in the islands by repeated conferences with leading Tagalogos representing the so-called insurgent government, to the end that some general plan of government might be offered them which they would accent. - Pleased the Natives. So great was the satisfaction of the insurgent commissioners with the form of government proposed by the American commissioners that the latter submitted the proposed scheme to me for approval, and my action thereon is shown by the cable message. May 5, 1899. Schurman, Manila: Your 4th received. You are authorized to propose that, under the military power of the President, pending action of Congress, government of the Philippine Islands shall consist of a governor general appointed by the President, cabinet appointed by the governor, general, a general advisory council elected by the people, the qualifications of electors to be carefully considered and determined, a sole veto. Judicially strong and independent, principal judges appointed by the President. The cabinet and judges to be chosen from natives or Americans, or both, having regard to fitness. "The President cernely desires the cessation of bloodshed and that the people of the Philippine Islands at an early date shall be the largest measure of local self-government consistent with peace and good order. Signs of Treachery. In the latter part of May another group of representatives came from the insurgent leader. The whole matter was fully discussed with them and promise of acceptance seemed near at hand. They assured our commissioners they would return after consulting with their leader, but they never dill. As a result of the views expressed by the first Tazigal representative favorable to the commission, it appears that he was, by illusion, the leader, stripped of the shoulder straps, dismissed from the army and sentenced to twelve years' imprisonment. The views of the commission are best set for in their own words: "cheplorable as war is, the one in which we are now engaged was unavoidable by us. We were attacked by a bold, adventurous and enthustle army. No alternative was left to us except ignomilnous retreat. Had to Remain. "It is not to be conceived of that any American would have sanctioned the surrender of Manila to the insurgents. Our obligations to other nations and to the friendly Filipinos and to ourselves and our flag demanded that force should be met with force. Whatever the future of the Philippines may be, there is no course open to us now except the prosecution of the war until the insurgents are reduced to submission. "The commission is of the opinion that the has been no time since the destruction of the Spanish squadron by Admiral Dewey when it was possible to withdraw our forces from the island with honor to ourselves or with safety to the inhabitants." After the most thorough study of the peoples of the archipelago the commission reported, among other things: "Their lack of education and political experience, combined with their racial and linguistic diversities, disqualify them, in spite of their mental gifts and domestic virtues, to undertake the task of governing the archipelago at the present time. The most that can be expected of them is to co-operate with the Americans in the administration, to assist the affairs, from Manila as a center, and to help them in the lean control or guidance (as may be found necessary) the administration of provincial and municipal affairs. * * * Would Invite Anarchy "Should our power by any fatality he withdrawn, the commission believes that the government of the Philippines would speedily lapse into anarchy, which would excuse, if it did not necessitate, the intervention of the United States to divide the division of the islands among them. Our American occupation, therefore, is the idea of a free, self-governing and united Philippine commonwealth at all conceivable. * * * "Thus the welfare of the Filipinos coincides with the dictates of national honor in forbearance, abandonment of the archipelago. We can conclude that the escape the responsibilities of government which our sovereignty entails, and the commission is strongly persuaded that the performance of our national duty will prove the greatest blessing to the people of the Philippines. Satisfied that nothing further could be accomplished in pursuance of their mission, the rebellion was suppressed, and desiring to place before the Congress the result of their observations, I requested the commission to return to the United States. We were intelligent and comprehensible, report, was submitted." Duties of the Commission. In March, 1900, believing that the insurrection was practically ended and earnestly desiring to promote the establishment of a stable government in the archipelago, I appointed the following civil commission: William H. Taft of Ohio, Professor Dean C. Worcester of Michigan, Luke I. Wright of Tennessee, Henry C. Iude of Vermont, and William J. My instructions to them contained the following "You (the Secretary of War) will instruct the commission * * * to devote their attention in the first instance to the establishment of municipal governments, in which the natives of the islands, both in the cities and in the rural communities, shall be afforded the opportunity to manage their own local affairs to the highest extent of which they are capable and subject to the least degree of supervision and control which a care of their capacities and observation of the local control show to be consistent with the maintenance of law, order and legality. * * Awaits the Report. Legislative Authority. "Exercise of this legislative authority will include the making or rules and orders having the power to issue by taxes, customs duties and imposts; the appropriation and expenditure of the funds necessary for the development of an educational system throughout the islands; the establishment of a system of education; the establishment of a organization and establishment of courts; the organization and establishment of municipal courts; the other matters of a civil nature of which the commission will provide by rules or orders of a legislative actor. The commission will also have the power to issue by taxes, customs duties and imposts, such officers, under the judicial, educational and civil service systems and in the municipal or governmental governments as may be provided." Rules for the Interim Until Congress shall take action I directed that: "Upon every division and branch of the government of the Philippines must be imposed these inviolable rights on all persons shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law; that prince shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without just compensation; that, in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, to be confronted with the witness; that he must have compulsory process for obtaining without prejudice and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense; that excessive hall shall not be reused in the case of a criminal punishment and unusual punishment inflicted; that no person shall be put twice in jeopardy for the same offense, or be compelled in any criminal proceeding; that the right to be secure against unreasonable searchers and seizures shall not be violated; that the servitude shall exist except as a punishment for crime; that no bill of attendant or ex post is passed abiding the freedom of the press, or the rights of the people, to peacefully assemble and petition the government; that no law shall be passed abiding the freedom of the press, or the rights of the people, to peacefully assemble and petition the government; that no law shall be made respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise of religion; that no enjoyment of religious profession and worship without discrimination or preference shall forever be allowed. * "It will be the duty of the commission to ensure that the military and its occa- tion, to improve, the system, be already inaugurated by the military authori- tory, and that the system be the first importance the extension of a system Striking Phrases from President McKinley's Letter.

Civil Service to Rule. Denise Anx Compact In the report of the first Philippine commission, submitted on Nov. 2, 1899, Admiral P. C. P. P. de la Torre wrote: "No alliance of any kind was entered into of independence, made to him, or promised of independence, made to him." "Merritt arrived yesterday. Situation is at an ankle. The Spanish may surrender at an ankle. The Spanish may difficult problem will be how to deal with the insurgents under Aguinaldo, who have the insurgents under Aguinaldo, who have even threatening toward our army." Here is revealed the spirit of the insurgents as early as July, 1885, before the insurgents engaged in active war with Spinel. Even then the insurgents were threatening our army. Filipino. To No Part. On Aug. 13, Manila was captured, and of the moment events the Philippine commission says. "When the City of Manila was taken, Aug. 13, the Filipinos took no part in the attack, but on believing they were invading the city and were only prevented from doing so by our forces preventing them from entering the city, we demanded the right to occupy the city. He demanded of General Merritt the palace of Mamancan as a himsidar and as a successor of the churches of Manila, also that a part of the money taken from the Spaniards as spoils be given to the authorities that he should be given the status of the Spanish prisoners. All these demands were refused." No Promises Made. Generalis Merritt, Greig and Anderson, who were in command at the beginning of our occupation and until the surrender of Manila, were given the opportunity with the insurgents and no promise to them of independence. On Aug. 17, 1888 General Merritt no joint occupation of Manila with the insurgents. General Anderson, under date of Defective Feb. 10, 1900, says that he was present at the interview between Admiral Dewey and the insurgent leader, and that in this inter-operation, he made no promise whistlers. He adds: "He (Agnalnailo) asked me if my government had a recognition government. I answered that there were simply in a military c.p.pathy; that I could not no-acknowledge government, because I had no authority to do so." Easy to Find Fault Would not our adversaries have seen Domenico the Spanish to capture and destroy the Spanish fleet in a dispatch it there, would they have withheld it after the destruction of the Spanish fleet in 1516, would they have directed to sail? Where could we have ported What port in the Orient was opened to it? Do our adversaries condemn the expedition under the command of General Merriot to attack the Spanish fleet in our triumph over Spain, with and assist in we were war, that it not our highest degree Spain at our vulnerable point, that the war might be practicable moment? Aksa for Honest Opinion. Begun by Inurgents It has been asserted that there would have been no fighting in the Philippines if Congress had suspended the Tagal insurgents. The insurgents did not wait for the action of Congress to take the offensive, they opened fire on our army. Those who assert our responsibility for the attack on the American forces, that before the treaty was ratified in the Senate, and while it was being debated in the Senate, and while it was under discussion, on Feb. 4, 1889, the insurgents attacked the American army, the American forces were under orders not to fire upon them except in defense. The military forces of the insurgents demonstrate that this attack was carefully planned for weeks before it occurred. Only One Course Open. Their unprovoked assault upon our solidarity upon the treaty, and their deliberation upon the treaty shows the importance on our part except surrender and abandonment would have prevented the fighting, and the responsibility rests for the shedding of American blood. We have exaggerated a phrasemaking of this electoral contest, we are in danger of being diverted from the real content. We have ported the war with Spain, those who assisted those with Spain, and those who consoled the ratification of the actual steps there can be no issue, and out of these came all of our responsibilities. If the government obligated by the war and the treaty imposed to act further with them, and here the issue made it our purpose to establish in the Philippines a government suitable to the wants and conditions of the inhabitants, and to give them self-government when they are ready for it, and as rapidly as they are my constitutional authority, and will continue to do until Congress shall determine the status of the inhabitants of the archipelago. Plea for Consiatency Are our opponents against the treaty? If they are, we must have been rattled in the Senate but for their assistance. The Senate which ratified the treaty has been appointed to sanction by a large appropriation comprised of representatives of the people of all parties. Would our opponents surrender to the insurgents in the Senate to them? If that be not their purpose, then it should be promptly disclaimed, for only the opponents in the minds of the Filipinos, that with their success at the polls in November, will be able to assert the American sovereignty over the archipelago, the complete independence of the Tagalog government, the complete government over all the other peoples of the archipelago conferred upon the Tagalog government. Prolonga the Rebellion. The effect of a belief in the minds of the insurgents that this will be done has already prolonged the rebellion and increased the military army. It is now delaying full peace in the archipelago and the establishment of civil society. The insurgents against accepting the liberal terms of amnesty offered by Gen. MacArthur have hoped a considerable reduction could be bened in our military establishment in the United States in the Philippines, a government would be already at hand. The American people are asked by our op-operative sovereignty of the United States in the Philippines, a fraction of the population, a single tribe out of eighty or more inhabiting the archipelago, American troops in Manila while in rightful possession under the protocol with the United States, and peace of peace by the Senate, and which has since been in active, open rebellion against the insurgents without consulting the majority and sovereignty to a small minority in the islands without consulting the majority and sovereignty to a small minority, which has been loyal to us, to the cruelties of the guerrilla insurgent bands. Demands Cannot Be Met. More than this, we are asked to protect this minority in establishing a government, a majority. We are required to set up a stable government in the interest of those who our soldiers, and then maintain it at up to cost or sacrifice against its enemies within those having ambitious designs from without. This would require an army and navy far larger than we now maintained in the Philippines and still remain necessary to be necessary with the full recognition of our sovereignty. A military support of anthonychia and still remain necessary to be essential of militarism, which our opponents in their platform oppose, but which by their most offensive form we are be established in its most offensive form. No. Premium on Murder. The American people will not make the murders of our soldiers the agents of the terrorists and order to the Philippines. They will not make them the builders of the new commonwealth of our sacred obligations to the peace of Filipinos, and would place at the mercy of the natives and foreigners. It would make possession and carry the commission of such acts executed on the 22d of February, 1899, in the Philippines, in honor of our army prevented the attempt to snare our soldiers and all foreigners and destroy the city and its surroundings. in short, the proposition of those opposed to us to continue all the obligations in the presentment, only changing the relation from princepal, which now exists, to that of savvy princepal, which now exists, but our pows are to be diminished. Our title is be no less, but our title is to be surrendered to another power, which is without experience or training, or the ability to maintain a stable government at home and absolutely international obligations with the rest of the world. Will Defend Our Title. To this we are opposed. We should not impose our title while our obligations last. In the case of the thorny should not be less than our responsibility, and our present responsibility is teeming with our authority in every part of the islands. No government can so certainly preserve the rights of the people of the establish law, justice and stable conditions. Neither Congress nor the Executive can eschew these islands except under our right to sovereignty authority and our flag. And this we are defending. We could not do it as a protectorate power so completely or so successfully as we are able to the sovereign power we can initiate action and guide the Filipinos to self-development and self-government. We could not initiate action, but would be compelled to follow and uphold a people with no capacity to govern themselves and to teach both ourselves and the Filipinos from being involved in dangerous complications) and Filipinos until after their trouble had come. Consent of the Governed. Title Is Unquestionable If anyone has favored its ratification believed that our title is practically identical with that under which we hold our territory acquired by the United States, we must understand under which we have exercised our sovereignty and established government for the it is worthy of note that no one outside of the United States disputes the fullness and the real issue on this subject? Whether it is paramount to any other or not, it is whether the government of the Philippines, with the sovereignty authority which enables us to guide them to progress or whether we shall be responsible and progress or whether we shall be responsible and forecile and arbitrary government of a militarized authority on our part, and with only the authority of a protectorate, which draws us into management without the power of preventing, them Obligations of War: There were those who two years ago were on one side of the battle, unwilling to accept its clear consequences, as there are those among us who are on the other side, willing to peace, but now protest against its obligations. Nations who go to war must be prepared to defend their country and when they make treaties must keep them. Those who profess to distrust the liberal and honorable purposes of the administration must not justified. Imperialism has no place in its creed or conduct. Freedom is a rock up in the air, and now rests. Liberty is the great Republican doctrine for which the people went to war. Freedom is a rock up in the air and billions of dollars expended to make of lawful legacy of all without the threat of war. Strain of Hypocriax. There is a strain of ill-conceived hypocrisy in the anxiety to extend the constitutional rights of the people to the people, while their nullification is openly advocated at home. Our opponent may distract it by denying the good faith and patriotism to the identity of the people who are opposed to them. They may fear the worst form of imperialism, but if they do it is because they have parted with the spirit and faith of the fathers inseparate from the virility of the founders of the party which they represent. The Republican party doesn't have to assert its devotion to the Declaration of Independence, but it remains faithful to the fathers remained unexecuted until the people, under the lead of the Republican party, into fulfillment. It wrote into the Constitution the amendments guaranteeing political equality to American citizenship, and the rights of the people in breaking them. It will not be guided in its conduct by one set of principles at all. Doctrine of Lincoln: If our opponents would only practice as Lincoln there would be no fear for the safety of our institutions at home or their frightful influence in any territory over which our waging Empire has been expelled from Porto Rica and the republic now floats over the islands as an emblem of rightful sovereignty. The flag of the republic now floats over the islands as an emblem of rightful sovereignty. Their inhabitants the blessings of liberty, education and free institutions, or steel, leaving them to anarchy or imperialism. The American question is between duty and liberty, for the republic be for duty and against desertion, for the Republic against both anarchy and imperialism. The country has been fully advised of the purposes of the United States in China, and should be faithfully adhered to as already defined. Sufferers in Pekin. Passing of actionalism.

Following "A Young Wife" at the Grand, Mr. Charles Hoyt will send to this play house his "A Stranger in New York," which is known to be his first play. He will be joined with our theater goers by reason of its enormous success, when last presented here. Since its last visit Mr. Hoyt has given it his up-to-date touch, and in many ways greatly improved it, and now said that "A Stranger in New York" is now a talented author's personality, more than anything else he has written. It teems with crisp dialogue and witty finges, that give it the true Hoytian flavor. It is original in every line and situation, the unexpected always hapl- ing, no sooner does one laugh- able smile than the other, and is suddenly plunged into another be- he has scarcely ceased laughing at the last. It is by this constant keep- ing the interest at the extreme tension that one secret of Hoyt's success may be found. His audience 'never knows what to expect.'
