Frank Platt, son of the Senator from
New York, bet his coat the other day that

is not quite up to the famous bet of Mr.
Spinks of Georgia, who wagered his boots

elected.

Newspaper writers in Cuba have to he

been sent to Gen. Wood.
It te said there tea movement on foot
to get together into a trust all of the man

ceed in forming their trust, their next step
■would be to get laws passed making ob

FALLING PRICES TROUBLING RE
PUBLICANS.
The decrease in the demand for manu
factured products and the decline in prices
are causing the Republican leaders a gr at
deol of uneasiness. They have been te 1-
Ing the people that the McKinley adminis
tration found business dead and industry
paralysed, and that it and the Republican
party brought back prosperity to the
country. That was the keynote of the
speeches at the Philadelphia Convention.
It is no doubt true that the country Is in
a much letter condition than it was when
Mr. McKinley entered the White Hons-*,
but there is no reason for raying that its
improved condition Is due to anything
that he or the Republican party has do e.
If there should he a still greater slump
in prices than there has been during the
last month, end many more mills should
be shut down, the Republican party would
be deprived of a very considerable part of
Its campaign ammunition. And there is a
prospect of lower prices. The prices of
many articles are considerably below
what they were at the beginning of this
year.
In our dispatches yesterday there tvo*
an announcement that the cotton manu
facturers of the South were trying to stem
the downward movement of prices. Thee
does not seem to be any very good reason
why there should be a decline in the prices
of cotton goods. According to the man
ufacturers there is no overproJue.ion.
There is only about a month’s supply of
cotton goods on hand. The dr man 1 in
the iron trade appears to be good. Never
theless the movement of prices is stead
ily downward. The same is true in re
spect to lumber.
Just what is causing the decline in prices
no one seems to know. The Republi an
leaders say that prices advanced and
prosperity came, because the Republican
party was given control of the govern
ment. They still have control of the gov
ernment. Are they willing to say that
the decline in prices is due to their unwise
legislation and their management of pub
lic affairs? How will they explain the de
cline In prices without assuming responsi
bility for the decline?
Asa matter of fact they know*, and the
whole world knows, that the Republcan
party Is not entitled to credit for the bet
ter times which the country has enjoyed
during the last two or three years. The
better times were brought about by natural
causes, causes that were independent of
politics and political parties. They came
at a tmle, however, that enabled the Re
publican party to claim credit for them.
It 1 a claim that promises to give that
larty a great deal of trouble. prices
continue to fall and the volume of busi
ness to shrink and it will have some diffi
cult questions to answer.
DISSATISFIED WITH THR \OWI\A
TIO.NSr.
Tw t o of the prominent phpers of New'
York make the action of the Philadel
phia Convention the occasion for express
ing their opposition to Mr. McKinley and
Mr. Bryan. the Herald and
the Evening Post. The Herald thinks
that If Mr. McKinley were animated by
a desire to do what is bes 4 for the coun
try, he would retire in favor of Mr.
Roosevelt and that the Democratic man
agers would manifest the same good
spirit by throwing overboard Mr. Bryan
and coming out strongly for Mr. Cleve
land.
The Evening Post calls Mr. McKinley
a weak man with good intentions and
Mr. Bryan a strong man who means mis
chief. It hopes that a candidate who
combines firmness with intelligence and
good principles will yet be offered to the
voters.
The trouble with the Herald and Post
te that It is not possible for a nominat
ing convention to make a ticket that
would be satisfactory to them. They
think it is more popular to find fault
than to praise. Nothing that is done
in connection with public affairs has their
approval. Consequently, though they are
ably conducted, neither has much influ
ence.
While it is true that Mr. McKinley is
a weak man, there is not the remotest
possibility that he will resign in favor
of Mr. Roosevelt. His party would not
permit him to do so, even if he were so
inclined. As for Mr. Bryan, it is all
nonsense to assert, as the Tost does, that
he means mischief. It is doubtful if
there Is in the country a more honest or
straightforward man. It is his sincerity
that makes him so strong with the peo
ple. The idea of throwing him overboard,
as suggested by the Herald, and nominat
ing Mr. Cleveland for President, Is simply
preposterous. The Democratic managers
could not get the Democratic Convention
to nominate Mr. Cleveland. The people
are not calling for him. In fact, it is
doubtful if the Herald would support him
if he were nominated. It is never pos
sible to tell what position that paper will
take in a political campaign. What it
says about the presidential candidate® Is
not likely to affect the result of the
campaign one way or the other.
BIDS FOR VOTES.
Tt will be noticed that the Republican
National Convention bid for votes whom
ever there was a chance to do so. For
Instance the contesting delegation of Com
missioner of Pensions, Evans, from Ten
nessee, was turned down. There seems
ground for saying that this was done ;o
plente the Grand Army of the Republic.
That organization does not like Commis
sioner Evan* because he refuses to throw
open to its members the doors of the
treasury. There te no doubt that he bus
been trying to protect the treasury against
the raids that are all the while being
made upon It. By doing so he has made
himtelf unpopular w'ith the Republican
leaders. He understands that the action
of the convention is n condemnation of
his administration of the pension office,
and he threatens to resign and run for
Congress from his old Tennessee district.
And the contesting delegation of “Gas”
Addlcks of Delaware, was given a place
In the convention. If the etorics told are
correct, Addicka has done more than any
hundred men to corrupt the politics of Del
aware. U* ids efforts to get into the United
States Senate. Having a barrel of money,
he has ult freely to accomplish hte
purpose. And yet good men were turned
down by the National Convention in order
to make a place for this man with a bar
rel of money. Senator Hanna knows how
to run a convention, so as to get the most
out of It for the party.
Mr. Bryan made a genuine stump
speech in Wisconsin the other day. He
visited a lumber camp, and was invited
to test lbs expertness with the ax. He
complied, and quickly felled n thre6-foot
pine. Then, being asked for a speech, he
mounted the stump of the tree he hail
juat cut down and talked for a few nUn
. utes.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1900.
WILL AGUINALDO SURRENDER?
At last there seems to be something sub
stantial from the Philippines in the direc
tion of peace. Two hundred Filipinos,
who have been prominent in the insurrec
tion as officers or as members of the Fili
pino congress, have made a proposition to
Gen. MacArthur whiJh he has accepted,
and which it is believed Aguinaldo will
accept. If Aguinaldo accepts it, and both
parties abide by it, there, does not seem
I to be any good reason why there should
I not be peace in the Islands at an early
| day.
I The Filipinos no doubt came to the con
! elusion long ago that unless they received
[ help from some source It would be folly
for them to continue the guerilla warfare
they were conducting. They were accom
plishing nothing and were doing their own
people a great deal of injury. If Aguin
uldo should surrender the work. of the
Taft Commission would be made much
easier, though it is probable that the
leading Filipinos would contend for much
more liberal terms than the commission
is prepared to offer.
With everything favorable It would take
at hast ten years to establish a satisfac
tory government in the Philippines. It
would not, of course, take that long to
set up the machinery of government. That
could be done In a comparatively short
time. What is meant is that it would take
years to accustom the Filipinos to the
new' order of things, to impress upon them
the necessity for honesty in public affairs
and to inspire them with a spirit of loy
alty sufficient to make them feel a pride
in helping to administer a thoroughly hon
est, intelligent and stable government.
The President no doubt will be glad if
the report respecting the settlement of the
Philippine troubles proves to be true.
The charge that his Philippine policy is
leading in the direction of imperialism
threatens to have a damaging effejt on his
presidential prospects. If the war could
l>e brought to an end at once the charge
would lose some of its force.
It is in the Middle West that
Imperialism Is doing the Republican
party the most barm. On the pacific coast
it is called expansion, and it appears to
be popular. Even In the South it has
friends among the Democrats. In the
Texas Stale Convention this week there
was a great fight over it, I£x-Postmaster
General of the Confederacy, Reagan, tak
ing a position in favor of holding on to the
Philippines. But in the Middle West,
where there is a large German element,
the permanent retention of the islands
is regarded with disfavor because it car
ries with it the idea of a great standing
army, and consequently the burdens which
a standing army imposes on the people.
The President has no doubt been making
special efforts to bring about a settlement
of the Philippine trouble. It Is one of the
great obstacles in his path to a second
term.
THEIR CHOICE FOR VICE PRESI
DENT.
According to a canvass made by a Phil
adelphia paper ex-Senator Hill of New'
York is the choice of more editors of
Democratic papers for Vice Pies dent than
any other man w’ho has been mentioned
in connection with that position.
There aie reasons for saying that he is
the strongest man that could be nominat
ed. One of the reasons is that he could
carry New Y'ork for the Democratic tick
et if any man could. The opinion has been
expressed by some of the best informed
of the Democratic leaders that in order
to win the Democrats must carry New
Y'ork. Mr. Hill knows the political situ
ation in that state thoroughly. He has a
strong personal following there. He w'culd
have the support net only of his own
party, but also of a large portion of the
independent voters.
There are two things which may be in
the way of nominating Mr. Hill. One is
that having been a prominent candidate
for the presidential nomination of his
party he might object to being a candi
date for Vice President. The other is that
the platform would have to be framed to
suit his views before he would accept a
place on the ticket. If he should consent
to be a candidate for Vice President he
would make a special effort to carry New
Y'ork. It is probable that he believes that
his party cannot carry that state if it
emphasizes the 16 to 1 idea in ids plat
form.
If Mr. Hill should consent, therefore, to
accept the se ond place on the ticket it
would be {After an agreement had been
reached that the platform should be simi
lar to that adopted by the Democrats of
New Y'ork. It is a question w'hether the
Western Democrats would accept a plat
form that would be satisfactory to Mr
Hill. If they would not, it is pretty cer
tain that he would not accept the vice
presidential nomination.
The Democrats will have to make some
concessions to the Populists. Even if the
Democrats should consent to a platform
that would meet Mr. Hill’s views, the
Populists m ght, and probably would, ob
ject to It.
It Is Impossible to foresee what will he
done at Kansas City, but Just now the
objections to naming Mr. Hill for the
second place on the ticket appear to be
difficult to overcome.
The decision of the Paris Exposition au
thorities with respeqt to wines is suf
: intent to show' that the purpose of the
great fair is to advertise French wares,
I meanwhile making the foreign visitors to
the exposition pay the expenses of the
jtnterprtee. It has been determined that
I no foreign wine which beats the general
name of the product of any French vine
! yard shall be judged. This would appear
! to be a direct blow at the wines of Cali
fornia, since many of them have lately
come Into competition with the French'
goods. The secret of the business proha-
I bly is that the French are afraid that
their wines would not stand comparison
with the California product. It was a
French wit who paid that wine might be
made out of a good many things, even
including grapes. Under the ruling of the
exposition people all American cham
pagnes, clarets, sauternes, etc., will be
denied the right to compete with the
French articles of the same names, not
withstanding the American goods are
plainly labeled and make no pretentions
i to being other ihan w'hat they are. It
looks very much like an exhibition of bad
j faith that this wine ruling should not
i have been made unVl after the Ex(>ositlon
had been open for more than a month.
Roosevelt’s nomination for Vice Pres
ident will precipitate a hot fight in the
Republican party of New' York for the
succewsorshlp to the gubernatorial nomi
nation. Lieut. Gov. Woodruff thinks that
lie is in the direct line of promotion, but
\ there are many New Y’ork Republicans
I who think, with Senator Hanna, that
Woodruff te 100 small a man for a big
, office.
After a good deal of circumlocution the
investigators of the Cuban postal steal
have got around to the point of letting it
be knowm that Rathbone will be indicted,
since the evidence in hand involves him
in the crookedness. It was probably the
desire to let Rathbone down easily, since
he had recently been highly commend
ed for his excellent work by the Post
master General, in a special article in
Collier’s Weekly, and for the further fact
that he was a political protege of some
of the big politicians In the post office de
partment. The scandal in Havana con
tinues to grow'. Meantime, Neely has not
been extradited for trial, and there is no
telling w’hen he will bo scut to Cuba to
meet his just deserts.
The Chinese Minister was an interested
spectator at the Philadelphia Convention.
One thing that struck h.m as queer, he
said, was that whereas h saw negro,
Indian and Hawaiian delegates on the
floor along with the white delegates, lie
saw no Chinese delegates# He could not
comprehend why the race line should be
drawn to take in black, re<l and brown
men, and leave out yellow ones. Minister
Wu said that the most powerful and musi
cal voice he heard in the convention, was
that of a negro delegate from Georgia.
Once more there seems a faint echo of
the Dreyfus case. Col. Picquart, the chief
hero of the revision, lus cured a ver
dict awarding him $20.w0 damages against
a Paris newspaper which called him a
traitor and a German spy. The case has
been a’pealed, but it is 1 * ievecl Picquart
will collect pretty nearly if not quite the
whole of the award. And, If reports are
correct, he stands in n-.ei of the money,
since his resources arc limited to a half
pension, amounting to about S3OO a year.
Joe Wheeler’s ears must be burning
these days, because of the nice things that
the Chicago newspapers are saying about
him. His assignment to command of the
Department of the Lakes seems to meet
with universal favor, and from the com
plimentary notice® that are being printed,
one w'-ould never think that the Illinois
press had ever called Gen. Wheeler a
“rebel.”

I I 14 RE NT COMMENT.
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says:
"Whilst the rlatform declares for ‘home
rule’ and 'the early admission to state
hood of the territories of New Mexico,
Arizona and Oklahoma.’ (hero is not a
word In it concerning poor Porto Rico, and
not a syllable in it in favor of the act of
Congress which violates two specific pro
visions of the constitution of the United
States in denying to Porto Rico free trade
with the rest of the ibuntry to which the
island belongs While prating of ‘home
rule’ for New' Mexico there is not the least
defense of the carnet-bag government
which has stripped the Puertoriquenos of
the last remnant of home rule. What Is
the cause of this remarkable reticence
concerning a prime measure of Republi
can jH.licy? Is the reasot* for it to he found
in the fact that this entire Porto Rican
enactment is an object of detestation to
large numbers of Republicans, whose re
sentment its mere mention in the platform
will be sure to provoke? Or is this silence
because the Porto K: fin act Is regarded’
as a political blunder not susceptible of
defense?"
The Richmond Dispatch (Dem.) says;
“The Inst plank In the platform is de
voted to Ihe Philippines, and is chiefly
noticeable for not telling what the people
most desire to know, and that is, what
the Republicans propone shall he the ulti
mate relations between the islands and
this country. Its aim seems to be to mud
dle the public, and h ave the road open for
the consummation of imperialism, should
the party be successful at the polls in
November.”
The Nashville American (Dem.) says:
“But after all the platform of the Repub
lican party Is written in its administra
tion of the country for the past three
years. 'Promises are nothing, deeds are
everything. The past reAml of the party
is what it will be tried upon by the peo
ple next November, not Its promises for
the future.”
The Charleston News and Courier (Dem.)
says: "The Republican team is n strong
one. The Democrats must make no mis
take about that, and govern themselves
accordingly. What the convention at Kan
sas City ought to do Is to name good men
on a sound platform and go In to win. It
will take hard work and a united party
do It.”
Ho Removed It.
“Cyrus Barker, remove your arm!”
For, in an apparently careless manner,
had placed It upon the back of her
chair, says the Chicago Tribune.
Stung by the tones of her voice no less
than by her words, the young man flush
ed deeply.
“Is that the greeting you give me, An
geline Ashcraft—you who professed to be
so sorry when I went away to the war—
who wept upon my neck and said you
would never have a moment's peace or
happiness until I returned safely home
again—who gave me a photograph, which
1 have carried next to my heart from
that day to this!’’ he exclaimed. “Do you
remember how you said you would be true
to me, though thousands of miles of
ocean might roll between us?”
"Oh, yes, I remember all that.”
“Have you forgotten how you said at
parting, ‘Oh, Cyrus, it breaks my heart! I
cannot give you up!’ ”
“I think I did make some such re
mark.”
“I think you did. Have you forgotten
how you bade me think of you, in camp
or on the battlefield, when the bullets of
the enemy were flying thick and fast
around me, and let the thought that you
were praying for me cheer me in that
dark hour?”
“I think I do recollect saying some
thing of the kind.”
“You think >ou do! Ha! And when I
was wounded you wrore to me get well
as soon as I could and come back to
you! Do you have a dim recollection of
doing something like that?”
“Now that you mention it, I believe I
did.”
“You have changed, then,” he said,
scowling darkly. “Y'ou are not the same
girl!”
“You have changed more than I have,
Mr. Barker.” coldly she answered. “Y'ou
are not the same man.”
“You si ill insist,” he went on. with ex
ceeding bitterness, “that I remove my
arm?”
“I do.”
“So be it, then!”
Calmly the young man arose, unscrewed
his wooden arm, placed it at her feet,
anl turned to go.
“I hope. Miss Ashcraft,” he said, “you
are satisfied.”
But Miss Angeline Ashcraft had fainted.
ISe Little Knew.
He turned silently and faced her, says
Harper’s Bazar.
“I did not expect such treatment,” he
said. “When I asked you for a kiss,
there was no reason why you should have
received my request in such a manner.”
“You had no right to suggest such a
thing,” she returned.
“Nonsense!” he retorted. “If every man
went on that principle there would he r.o
lovemaking done. You might have le
fused me. Y'ou had that privilege. But
tf> get up nr.ci say you were Insulted and
go on the way yovi did was mere folly.”
She drew herself up angrily. “You pre
sume. then,” she said, "to lecture me on
what I ehould or should not do. This is
too much, sir.”
She turned to leave the room. He stood
In front of her. “Forgive me,” he 6 a id;
“you were right. You are so different from
most girls that I misunderstood. You are
so far above those things that the mere
suggestion was a shock to you. 1 ree it
clearer now. What a brute I was!”
She shook her head. “I fear I am not so
good as all that.” ahe said, quietly.
“Ah! but you are,” he said, almost rev
erently, “and I cannot tell you how much
I respect you for it. Y'ou are an angel!”
She smiled. A look of great relief came
over her face. She walked to the other
end of the room, opening the folding
doors that led into the dinir.g-room, and
came l*ack softly.
"Why, you foolish man,” she said. * If
you knew half a much as I. you would
have known that my aunt was behind
those doors listening to all I said.”
A Good Witness.
A horse from a livery stable died soon
after it was returned and the man who

lier’s Weekly. The question turned large
ly upon the reputation of the defendant as
a hard rider.
The stable boy was called os the first
witness.
"How docs the defendant usually ride?"
"Astraddle, sir.”
“No, no.” said the lawyer. "I mean,
does he usually walk, or trot, or gallop?"
"Well,” said the witness, apparently
searching in the depths of his memory for
facts, “when he rides a walkin’ horse, he
walks; w'heti he rides a trottin’ horse, he
trots, and when he rides a gallopin' horse,
he gallops; when ”
The lawyer interposed. “I want to know
at what pace the defendant usually goes
—fast or slow?"
"Well,” said the witness, “when his
company rides fast, he rides fast, and
when his company rides slow, he rides
slow.”
‘Now, I want to know, sir,” the lawyer
said, drawing a long breath, "how the de
fendant rides when he is alone.”
“Well,” said the witness, very slowly,
“when he was alone I warn’t there, so I
don't know.”

A. Lawyer's Story.
The late Sir Frank T.o. l kwood was de
fending a man accused of swindling, and i n
an eloquent peroration talked of his much
Injured client as an angel of light. When
Sir Frank had finished his speech his
client whispered that he wanted to shake
hands with him. "When first my solicitor
lold tr.e what he was paying you,” said
the client, "I grumbled, but since I have
been listening to you I have come to the
conviction that the money w’as well spent,
and I apologize. That half hour talk of
yours about me has done me good, it la
many years since I have experienced the
luxury of self-respect, and It is worth the
money."
"Oh, that's all right," said Sir Frank,
genially, "hut you take my advice and go
out of court. Sir Edward Clarke, the
lawyer on the other side, is Just going to
speak.”
