"The great questions are, 'Is labor In good demand with good wages? 1s busl. ness prosperous? Are our general con- ditions Improving? If they are, let us keep on."

There has been no time since the de- struction of the enemy's fleet when we could or should have left the Philippine archipelago. After the treaty of peace was ratified. no power hut congress could surrender our sovereignty or gilenate a foot of the territory thus ac- quired. The congress has not seen nt to do the one or the other, and the presi- dent had no authority to do either, it he had been so inclined, which he wes not. So long as the sovereignty remains In us, it is the duty of the executive. whoever he may be, to uphold that sov- ereignty, and, if it he attacked, to sup- press its assailants. Would our politi- cal adversaries do less ?- President Me- Kinley's letter of acceptance.

New York Journal, Sept. 17, 1838, We have a duty to perform in the Philippines-a duty to the Filipinos, to ourselves, 10 republican ideas, to civil- Ization. The American people are per- fectly willing to assume all the risks and burdens of that duty. No dishon- orahle desertion of the rescued people of the Philippines!

New York Journal, Aug. 12, 1898. The American flag is up at Manila Let it wave there until the people of the Philippines, under American protection, have grown Into capacity for full self- government. That is the just, the American, policy. Nail the flag to the mast!

SMOKE SHELLS TO BE USED.

Freueb Offfelala Decide on an tanova. tion for the Arliller> Service.

An innovation has been introduced in the French ertillery service by the decision to furnish the guns with a smoke shell. Hitherto the cannon has been provided with melinite and shrapnel shell only.

This new sbell is intended to be launched at an opponent's artillery which, on hursting. will envelop it in a dense cloud of smoke, thus hamper- ing the return fire. The new shell is the outcome of the introduction of smokeless powder

Formerly, with the old powder, the result now aimed at was brought ahont by the guns themselves. the firing of which produced a smoke which hlinded their own gunners, Ex- periments show that this intention creates a sort of veil before the en- emy's artillery Both the army and the navy will he supplied with these shells

POETIC POESIES.

A Sadje, Sadje Fate. This Is the tale of Peter Gunn. Who read and talked of "kopje;" Also of Cronje and the Boers, Until he could nol stopje.

He tacked a "je" to every word. Or nearly every oneje, Until his friends and family Wished war bad ne'er begunje.

At evening he was nol content To sil al home and talkje. But he would ask his wife if she "Would like to take a walkje." He hired a man lo scoop the snow Which lay upon bis lawnje, And paralyzed his little boy By saying: "Come here. Johnje." He bristled o'er with news of war, Said: "Buller flew the coopje," And backed 11 up by stating that 'Old White Is in the soupje."

He asked a friend if she would sing "In Words of tuneful soundje. The ballad 'When You Have No Colp You Needn'1 Come Aroundje!' "

And thus be went from bad to worse, Until, what do you Thinkje? He tried to drown Great Britain's woea, Likewise his own, In drinkje!

And now they have him in a place, Locked in a padded cellje, Where every day that awful "je' With all his words he'll yellje.

Take heed, take heed-this simple tale Should warn you everyoneje Lest you should tempt the fate that met Our poor friend, Peter Gunnje. -W. D. Nesbit, In Ballimore American.

The Annual Fever.

We're hunting a house-do you know of one With bath and a furnace and closets and gas:

Well, cistern and faucets and plenty of sun.

And a plat in front having lots of grass? A garrel where traps can be stored away. And a nice back yard for Bobby and Sue, And a barn for the borse and oats and bay,

And a summer kitchen and woodshed, too?

We're hunting a house-and it must be where

The children can easily walk lo school; Not too far out from the courthouse square.

But still the location must be cool.

The paper and paint must be fresh and clean: The place in the best condition be. Perchance you've a house lhal should be geen: Please tell us where we can get the key. We're hunting a house-as the one we're in For fully a year has sheltered us- Hence now it is time That we begin To have our annual "moving" fuss. The season is here and a vague unrest Has driven the people by hundreds mad, So we will change lo a neighbor's nest- And others will enter The one we've had. -Edwin L. Sabin. In Munsey's Magazine.

A Cradle Song.

Hushaby! rockaby ! mother's wee derling. Bright stars are gleaming o'er meadow and lea;

Now close your bright eyes and sweet be your slumber.

Angels will guard hoth my baby and me Sweetly the mocking bird sings in the willow;

List lo the song that he warbles for thee. Dream in the happy land 'way over yonder, Far, far away, o'er the bright slumber яев.

Rockaby! hushaby! full moon is rising, Peeping her head o'er the line of the sea. So heave up the anchor, spread out the canvas

And sail away, dearte, like gulls that are T'ree!

Mother will Blow thee away in thy cradle. Rocking it gently while singing to thee, He, for your pilot, who loves all the chil- dren, Who said: "Suffer them to come unto T. J. NICHOLL.

Sorter Wonderin'. Sorter wonderin' if you know That I'm lovin' of you so! That I want you all day long- In the sighin', in the song In The dark an' in the light- In The blossom an' the blight- Borter wonderin' If you know That I'm lovin' of you so!

Sorter wonderin', when The day Goes the weepin' twilight's way. An' the gold Is turned to gray Where the winds kneet down to pray;

when the Shadows seem to be Lengthenin' 'twixt your life an' me- Sorter wonderin' if you know That I'm lovin' of you so!

Sorter wonderln'! But I seem Nearer to you in a dream; Then no thorny barriers frown; Then you kiss my eyelids down; An' The grief that made The day Drifts in dreams o' you away. In your dreams, dear, do you know. Thal I'm lovin' of you so?

NOT ENOUGH CADETS.

A Growing Shortage of Men from West Point to Fill Vacancies-Pro- vlalon for More Appointments.

An importance scarcely second 10 that of the increase of artillery is at- tached by the secretary of war to the clause in the pending army hill provid- ing for the appointment by the presi- dent of 100 cadets at large to the mili- tary academy, at West Point. This year's class at the academy graduates only 54 to supply 130 vacancies in the [ four years since that time, vastly im- regular establishment, and after the enlisted men are found to increase the | products already quoted; while the speed

available worthy material perhaps to 80 there will still remain at least 50 va- cancies in the grade of second lieuten- ant. The next class at the academy is now only about 75 strong and will graduate ahout 60. The vacancies will probably exceed 150, and four years from now the vacancies will amount to 250, with no increase in the properly qualified graduates to fill them.

FASTS FOR FOUR MONTHS.

The Case of a Young Indiana Woman Proves a Puzzle to Phy- ofclans.

. Miss Paul Curry, the Howard coun- ty (Ind.) girl who on the last memo- rial day remarked to a friend: "On Memorial day next year you can dec- orate my grave," has now fasted 120 days and is still alive. Her case har puzzled the most eminent specialists in the country. She is evidently de, termined to make her words come true. The lack of nourishment has produced inflammation of the digest . ive organs and she could not now as- cimilate food if it should be forced into the stomach. She refuses to talk of her condition to the doctors and has uttered a very few words only since she began to fast, During all this period she has taken nothing but a little vinegar with lemon juice and a pinch of salt,

Some 20 of the students will arrive, un- der the charge of Prof. Appleby. The purpose of the visit is to place the stu- dents on a more familiar standing of the mining in the Rocky mountains.

if Bryan Wins.

H. W. Peabody, a well-known banker of Boston, says "The currency is the leading Issue of this campaign" in a re- cent article. He thus sums up the situa- tion in case that Bryan should win:

"A lapse from the gold basis would occur immediately after Mr. Bryan's election was a known fact. All green- backs and treasury notes and gold car- tificatre would be presented for payment In gold, so long as the treasury had gold to pay with, when the treasurer would be obliged to stup and the banks would also stop payment of gold.

"This national bankruptcy would de. stroy confidence of all holders of Ameri- can securities, which would be thrown upon our market for forced sale, and enormous demands for gold would quickly place it at a premium over our paper currency, as during the Civil war. "The withdrawal from circulation of United States notes and gold In circula- tion and in bank reserves, would cause contraction, stringency and panic. We might not be squarely upon a silver basis until free coinage was established by law, and this chance would prevent the utter depreclation of our currency, ac- cording to the silver atrength of congress. We should be upon a paper basis, with Bliver certificates, United States notes and bank notes redeemable only In sil- ver, as we should have no other coln. Prices of the necessaries of life would advance according as the gold value of our currency depreciated, and along with the depreciation the deposits in banks and aavings institutions, income salaries and wages would shrink as the money they are payable In deteriorated. The election of Mr. Bryan would reverse our prosperity into calamity."

The New York Journal's List.

From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal On Monday. Aug. 27, the New York Journal, an ardent and industrious (not to say Imaginative) advocate of the free silver school of Bryan, published a list of "distinguished Republicans In several states who declare their reasons for for- saking the Republican party, as now con- trolled." Among the names mentioned is a IIst from Maine, as follows:

Ex-Juatice Clarence Willis, Silas Look, Daniel T Salt, Abraham Piper, Charles Bond, Lewis Fay

The New York Journal goes widely into this state purely as a sensational news- paper. Its reputation as a politieil prophet Is now and always has been bad. and this but makes it worse. A whole army of names, in black type like the above, adorns the same page as this unique list from Maine, Not one of them from this stale ever existed. Every one of them was born in the imagination of the astute political novelist in Mr. Hearst's office, who had to have a list of recalcitrant Maine Republicans because Maine's vote Is earliest of all the states

"There is another reason why the peo- ple have gone into the city and left the farm. It ly because your legislation has been causing the foreclosure of mortgages upon the farms. . . . cannot understand how a man living upon a farm can bedeluded with the Idea that the gold standard has anything but misery and suffering for him." -- Bryan's speech at Mogmouth, Ills.

Tbe gold standard has remained in operation sluce this assertion, yet the condition of the farmers has been, in the

proved. as shown by the value of farm with which the mortgages complained of have been paid off Is illustrated by the figures for My Bryan's own state, which show an increase of 50 percent for the state of Nebraska alone, in the value of mortgages released In 1898 as compared with 1896.

Judge John J. Hunt, who was the leader of the Silver Democrats of Georgla In 1896, has written a letter in strong op- position to Bryan and h's "paramount issue" of imperialism. "For my part." he says, "I do not intend to agree, in the face of all evidence to the contrary, that the American people, or even any re- spectable political party in America, is capable of making vassals and slaves of the Filipinos, or that the American peo- ple or any respectable political party in my country is an alder and abettor In any scheme of conquest." He adds. Democrat has a right to protest against this senseless isque -being thrust on a great historic party as a paramount issue. merely because Mr. Bryan, at the "Any expense of the greatest and most glaring personal inconsistency, wishes it done.'

While the Democratic party is talking about "paramount" Issues Mr. Mckinley has mel their cry with a better one in his letter of acceptance. He says in refer- ence to the silver question:

"If another Issue is paramount, this is finmediate. It will admnit no delay and will suffer no postponement."

The stablilty of our national currency Is therefore secure, so long as those who adhere to this platform are kept in con- trol of the government. In the first bat- tle, that of 1896, the friends of the gold standard and of sound currency were triumphant, and the country isenjoying the fruits of that victory. Our antago. mista, however, are not satisfied. They compei us to a second battle upon the same lines upon which the first was fought and won,-McKinley's letter of acceptance.

"The evidence that Mr. Bryan's un- patriotic associates have sacrificed the lives of our soldlers and the money of our people to an enormous extent is abundant. General Lawton, the most hrllllant and successful soldier of the war, lost his life through the machina- Be- tions of the Anti- Imperial league. fore his death he discovered conclusive evidence that the enemy he was fighting in the Philippines was the Anti-Imperial league of the United States, and that if his life was sacrificed the league would be responsible." -- Senator Stewart of Nevada, In the announcement of his pur. pose to support Mckinley this year.

The Democrats are trying to abstract some comfort from the Vermont election returns, but the fact that the 31,000 Re- publican majority was greater than any of the election prophets had dared to predict and the largest majority, but one, cast in that state for a dozen years puts a face on the Democratic claims that is unanswerable.

In the matter of rallies. "It is the early bird that catelies the worm." The Re- publican state committee are now filling dates for the campaign rapidly, and it is important that early application be made for assigument of speeches.

He No; President Mckinley will not avall himself of the privilege of talking his opinions into a graphophone. will leave that circus performance to Candidate Bryan, who ought to make a success of it, In view of his long practice In talking through his hat

By the way, what a funny metallic sound those graphophone speeches of Candidate Bryan will have after The idea of November are past.

Here is wbat Mr. Mckinley says in bis letter of acceptance in regard to the trusts:

"Combinations of capital controlling the market In commodities necessary to the general use of the people, by sup- pressing natural and ordinary competi- tion, tous enhancing prices to the gen- eral consumer, are obnoxious to the common law and the public welfare. They are dangerous conspiracies against public good, and should be made subjects of prohibitory and penal legislation."

"We have passed from a bond issulng to a bond paying nation; from a nation of borrowers to a nation of lenders; from a deficiency in revenue to a surplus; from fear to confidence; from enforced Idleness to profitable employment."- William Mckinley.

Edmonds on Trusts.

Ex-Senator Edmunda is in favor of McKinley for re-election and states bis reasona in bis usual able and convincing manner.

"In regard to trusts." he says, "the country will be as well off under one party as another. Combinations of men cannot be broken. We may harass them and in a measure control them, but men will continue to combine for mutual in- terests, and you cannot stop them. The tendency is toward combinations. Men are engaged in bigger enterprises than ever before, and many of these can be effected miy by combination, Every- thing is bigger. Even our locomotives are larger and more powerful." sald Mr. Edmunds, as one of them went puffing past the hotel.

"This is not a party question. When business interests are involved all men are of one mind. They may belong to different political parties, have widely varying religious beliefs and disagree on many subjects, but when it comes to business, to the earning of a liveilhood. they invariably agree. I think you will find as many Democrats in The trusts as you will find Republicans, and I know that some of the biggest capitalists con- tribute equally to both parties, and they naturally expect that no matter who is elected, their interests will be pro- tected.

"I would venture to say that, taking all the persons In the large cities worth $100,000 or $500,000. you will find as many Democrats as Repubilcans.

"No. combination of men for business purposes Is not a party question. They will ali stay logether, just as labor unions vote one way when the interests of thelr members are Involved.

"On the other hand, take, for Instance, that dispatch in the morning paper nam- Ing Altgeld for the supreme court. I suppose il Is a fake, but at the same time It sets one thinking of what is likely to happen. Altgeld may be honest. Bryan may be bonest: I believe, for that mat- ter, That the majority of anarchists are honest, but it is the Ideas they have and which they may try to carry out that makes them unsafe. They are visionary."-Ex-Senator Edmunds.
