Mr. Richard Croker has given anew

THE CHIEF ISSUE OF THE CAM
PAIGN.
There will of course be several Important
issues In the presidential campaign, but
the chief one will be imperialism. The
public mind is more fully occupied with
the question as to whether the Republi
can or the Democratic policy respecting
Porto Rico and the Philippines shall pre
vail than with any other. Gen. Grosvenor
was not so very far wrong when he said
that the most Important question in the
presidential campaign had been left out
of the Republican platform—the question
as to whether the constitution extended to
territory acquired by the United States
without any action on the part ot congress,
or whether Congress had authority to ex
ercise authority in such territory outside
of the constitution, with certain limita
tions. It seems that there was a plank in
the platform stating the position of the
Republican party in respect to this mat
ter when it left the hands of tho President
and his advisers, but, according to Mr.
Qulgg of New York, the Platform Com
mittee left it out of the platform on the
ground that it presented a question that
the Supreme Court was likely to pass up
on before the end of the presidential cam
paign, and the Republican party would
be tn a rather unenviable position If the
court should decide against the position
taken In its platform.
But because it was left out of the plat
form it does not follow that it will play
no part in the presidential campaign. As
already stated the Indications are that It
will play the most important part. The
parts that will be played by trusts and
silver will be only secondary to it. The
people are dividing on the question as to
whether or not this country shall be an
empire. If the constitution follows the
flag, then the Filipinos are now under the
constitution and are entitled to all the
rights and privileges which that instru
ment guarantees. If, on the other hand,
as the Republicans contend, the constitu
tion does not follow the flag, the Phil
ippines are mere dependencies to be gove
erned as Congress pleases.
The treaty by which the Philippines were
acquired differs In a very important par
ticular from previous treaties by which
the United States came into possession of
territory. In previous treaties it was stip
ulated that the inhabitants of the acquir
ed territory should ultimately become cit
izens. In the treaty by which the Philip
pines were acquired It is left to Congress
to say what the political rights and civil
status of the Inhabitants of the ceded isl
ands shall be. It is claimed that the ef
fect of this provision of the treaty is to
give the late Spanish possessions a “dis
tinct existence under, but without the
United States.” A point is made against
Mr. Bryan that he urged the ratification
of the treaty, and now takes the position
that the Filipinos ought to have their in
dependence. There is nothing Inconsistent
in Mr. Bryan s position. Ha knew of
course what the provisions of the treaty
were when he advised Its ratification, but
at no time did he favor holding the isl
ands as colonies. He believes that the
Filipinos should be dealt with Just as it is
proposed that the Cubans shall be dealt
with. He believes that they should have
their independence when they are ready
for self government, and he Is Inclined to
think that they are now able to manage
their own public 1 affairs.
The whole country is waiting with deep
Interest to see how the Democratic Na
tional Convention will deal with the Phil
ippine question. It is undoubtedly the
question in which the people at this time
are the most deeply concerned.
COTTON FIELDS 4\l) COTTON MILLS
The New York Commercial, in comment
ing upon the rapid increase in the num
ber of cotton mills in the South, says: “If
England does not know it, she ought to know
it, and know it quickly, that the time is
not very far distant when she must cease
to make cotton goods for anybody but
herself and cease also for herself, unless
she puts up one of those infamous Chi
nese walls against the irwtrift of foreign
competition In her markets.” Further
along lu Its article tho Commercial says:
•'With the brisk development of the cotton
mill alongside of the cotton field which Is
now going on in this country and Mexico,
Great Britain wHI be hopelessly handi
capped. unless she begins to grow cotton
hot-seif In the fields of Lancashire."
In our dispatches yesterday it was stat
ed that the traffic officials of the railroads
had Just met in Atlanta for the puriose of
fixing the rate on cotton from the fields to
the cotton mills of the Carollnas. It
seems that the capacity of the cotton
mills In those states Is now so great that
the mills have to depend upon
olher elates for their supply of cotton. It
will not be very many years. Judging from
the rapid Increase In the number of mills
In this stale, before Georgia will need all
the cotton she produces to supply her own
mills. It will, of oourse. be years yet be
fore there will be enough mills near the
cotton fields to consume the entire cotton
crop, but that there will be enough event
ually there is no reason to doubt.
The Southern people are beginning
to understand that there Is a
great deal of money to be made in
■ending their cotton to market manufac
tured Into cloth and a9 their wealth In
creases they will put it into cotton mills
until they are able to manufacture their
entire cotton crop.
The New York Commercial, therefore.
Is not so very far out out the way In
warning England that her cotton trade is
In danger, and that she ought to be look
ing out for other employment for her cot
ton mill operatives. It Is about as certain
as anything can be that Is not actually
known that the United States are g< Ing to
supply the world wKh the bulk of cotton
goods ss they now practlcaily supply it
with raw cotton.

THE MOENING KEW& FEIDAY,’ JUNE 29, 1900.
THE LAST GREAT LYND Rl H.
A picturesque feature of Western life
has been the periodical rush of home
seekers into Indian lands thrown open
to the settlement of white men. The
most famous of these rushes of late
years were those Into Oklahoma and the
Cherokee Strip, upon which occasions
literally thousands of men and a consid
erable number of women camped for
weeks on the border line of the territory
about to be opened, awaiting the mo
ment the President's proclamation be
came operative to dash into the reserva
tion and stake quarter-sections of land.
Many of the rushes have been attended
with tragedies, while there has probably
never been one that did not furnish its
crop of scandals touching government of
ficials, who were to have given
secret information, for a consideration,
or to have succeeded in grabbing choice
lots of land through agents smuggled
across the border in advance of the legal
opening.
The last great land rush, however, will
take place shortly. The precise date is
not known, and will not be known until
the President has Issued his proclama
tion opening the land. This proclama
tion may he made public In n week, or
it may be a month before it Is published,
under the terms of the bill which was
passed at the recent session of Congress.
The land to be opened is the reservation
of the Kiowa and Comanche Indians, in
Oklahoma territory, and embodies 2.000,-
000 acres. It is well-wooded, well-watered,
and la said to be the richest and most
productive land In that section; far su
perior to the land of the Cherokee Strip.
Divided into quarter-sections of 160 acres
each, there will be room for 10.000 farms,
or. rather, claims, as some of the coun
try is mountainous. The mountain sec
tions, however, may, as a matter of fact,
be found more valuable than the farming
sections, since rich gold and silver de
posits are known to exist In the Wichita
mountains, which are included in the res
ervation. There is a legend of Spaniards
having worked fabulously productive
mines in these mountains.
The government Is to give these lands
practically free. It is true that after
five years the homesteaders will have to
pay the government a filing fee of $1.50
per acre; but with five crop seasons be
fore the fee becomes due, every indus
trious homesteader ought to be able to
discharge his Indebtedness and have a
surplus left from his operations. The
government is to pay the Indians $2,000,-
000 for the land.
Great numbers of boomers and home
steaders are already gathering along the
frontier in anticipation of the race, while
government officials are clearing all
■white men out of the reservation. It is
probable, therefore, that the great free
for-all. go-as-you-please event will not
be long deferred. And. as dhis will be
the last race of the kind for any consid
erable body’ of land, the probabilities are
that it will be quite as exciting as any
which has preceded it.
THE “ORIGINAL" MKINLBY MAN.
Many persons have, thought Mark Han
na to be the original McKinley man. This,
however. Is disputed by’ Magnus A. Hess
of Chicago, who claims the distinction for
himself. Moreover, Air. Hess claims 58,-
113.09, which he says he expended of his
own good money for the purpose of bring
ing the Canton man into notoriety. This
sum, he says, has never been refunded to
him, nor has he ever received any sort
of recompense for either his cash or his
patriotism. Naturally, therefore. Air. Hess
Is sore. He feels that he has been badly
used by a man whom he looks upon as his
benefk'iary, and from whom he had a right
to expect both recognition and a good
thing or two.
Mr. Hess has laid his grievance, and
also his bill, before 'President McKinley
and every member of the Republican Na
tional Committee, including Chairman
Hanna. The letter of transmission re
calls that in 1892, (when McKinley was
smarting under the sting of defeat for re
election lo Congress, and when financial
difficulties were fretting his soul,) Mr.
Hess formed the Cook County McKinley
Club and forthwith began booming him for
the presidency. MaJ. McKinley was, ac
cording to he testimony of Mr. Hess,
very grateful for the compliment which
was then paid him. Mr. Hess says
he has several letters from his candidate
of those days which would make very in
teresting reading In the current campaign.
He may conclude to publish them later,
in the event that the check for the bill is
not forthcoming.
The bill, by the way. Is a model docu
ment. There Is no subterfuge or evasion
about It. Every item is set down in black
and white for Just what it means. There
Is no covering up of expenditures under
the elastic blanket of "incidentals," such
as we see oodasionaily In statements from
the Paris Exposition or from the Islands
of Cuba and Porto Rico. When Mr. Hess
means whisky, beer and cigars he makes
his Item read: "Wet and dry goods; An
heuser-Milwaukee and smoke-up, to keep
the boys in line for McK." There is no
mistaking the meaning of that entry.
There is also the amount of about *B7B for
printing McKinley's picture on posters,
envelopes and badges, and the rent of two
club rooms at the very reasonable rental
of *25 and *3O per month. These latter
items Mr. Hess might easily have made
*IOO per month each if It had been his pur
pose to play "practical” politics on his
proposed beneficiary. On the whole the
bill appears to be one that would stand
the closest scrutiny; and Mr. Hess says he
has a signed voucher for every item in It.
Hanna Is blamed for the President's fail
ure to take care of his original boomer.
Mr. Hess writes to MaJ. McKinley: "You
have gone back on your best friends that
helped you in tho presidential chair, and
now you have affiliated yourself with
Combines, Trusts, Millionaires, Syndicates,
etc. You won't be a second Lincoln.
Where was King Marcus Hanna, Dawes,
Platt and that bunch when I started the
McKinley movement? I only want what
Is honest and fair, my money back." And
it seems, really, that the Chicago boomer
ought to receive the most distinguished
consideration from those to whom he has
addressed his complaint and bill. If he
cannot have an office, he ought at least lo
gel his money hack.

High Soantling Names.
Some time ago, says a writer in the Chi
cago Journal, I was talking with a man
about the implied autocracy conveyed by
the names of some people we come upon
in ftumble walks of life, the only claim
to distinction or high birth those people
can offer being their names. The curious
little shock of surprise and disillusion
caused by the mismating of high-sounding
names and humble people has. of course,
been experienced by everybody who is idle
enough to notice such trivialities.
"There are some servants," said the
man with whom 1 talked of this matter.
"who have been with the branch of my
family which remained back In an east
ern state ever since I can remember.
They wear names that make mine look
plebein. I'm going down there for my va
cation, and I'i! send you a memorandum
on the matter."
Yesterday he wrote:
“Here are the names of those serving
people. Aren't they wonders?

“I feel mysetf an anachronism here, a

I„blushed horribly and felt that she might

Here this part of the letter breaks off
abruptly.
Mixed in Hln Remingtons.
As Frederic Remington, the artist, who
lives in New Rochelle, stepped from his
Irain in the Grand Central station yes
terday morning, says the New York Sun.
a thin man with an alert expression, who
was standing near the waiting-room with
a fat. red-faced man from Chicago,
caught sight of him.
“Hello.'' he said, "there's Frederic
Remington."
"Where?” asked the Chicago man with
great interest.
"There he comes, the big fellow. Would
you like to meet him?"
You can gamble on it that I would."
said the Chicago man. "I don't know a
citizen of your town that I would rather
meet than Remington."
"I didn't know that you eared for his
work, but I will be glad to Introduce you."
"Care for it!" exclaimed the Chicago
man." It's the best thing In the market,”
The thin man greeted Mr. Remington
as an old acquaintance, and then present
ed the Chicago man as a great admirer
of his work.
"Indeed. I am. Mr. Remington. I am
proud to meet you. Remington is a house
hold word with us," said the Chicago
man.
“Indeed,” said Mr. Remington, looking
as any modest man might at such a tri
bute from the West.
“It is, for a fact," said the Chicago
man, "and when I tell my wife that I
have met Frederic Bemington she will
want lo know all about you. She wag my
stenographer before we were married, and
she used your typewriter. I wouldn't have
any other machine in the factory and •”
Air. Remington w Red away abruptly
and the thin man gC-ped and then ex
plained to ihe Chicago man.
"Artist, did you say?" asked the latter.
■"Why, I thought he invented the type
writer. Now Isn't that enough to freeze
your feet?"
He Was Going.
It was a one-horse wagon loaded with
boxes and barrels, and the driver suddenly
turned Into the curb and go! down and
stood off a few feet and looked earnestly
at the horse, rays the St. Paul Dispatch.
Four or five pedestrians came to a halt,
and one of them promptly called out;
"That horse has go* a chill end you
ought to unhitch him!"
"It’s a case of bots!” added a second.
"He's got the blind staggers, or I don't
know anything about horses." put in a
third.
The four or five pedestrians grew to five
or ten and ten to twenty or thirty.
“He's balky, eh?” queried a fat man, as
he forced his way into the crowd.
"Holler in his ear!" shouted a boy who
was up on |alky horses.
"All you fellers get hold and push the
wagin'." commanded a citizen, who ap
peared to be a born leader of men.
The crowd grew to fifty, eighty, one
hundred, and the street was blocked. Men
examined the wheels on the wagon, the
feet of the horse and the harness. The
driver stood there with lines and whip In
hand and said nothing and made no move
until a policeman forced his way Into the
crowd and excitedly asked:
"Now, then; whata all this about?
What's the matter here?”
"Xuthin’." was the calm reply.
"Horse sick?"
"Naw." •
"Is he balky?"
"Naw.”
"Then why don't you go On ?"
“I'm goin'."
And he put hss foot on the hub of a front
wheel and sprang to his seat and drove
off at a sharp trot, and all the wondering
crowd said as it looked after him was:
"I thought so ell Ihe time."

Ideas of what constitute good eating are
very largely what Gen. Hancock consid
ered the tariff—a local Issue, says the
Troy Times. When Jim Bridges, the
famous scout of the plains, grew old. he
thought he would like to retire from the
somewhat arduous life of a plainsman
and settle down to the ease of the East—
which meant to him Missouri. So he
used his best endeavors to find a compe
tent man to take his place and went back
•o Missouri. A year or two passed, and
one day Capt. Russeil, the commandant of
the post which Bildger left, was sur
prised lo see the old scout heave in sight.
When he came in the captain asked
"Well, Bridger, what brings jou back
here?"
•■Captain,” said Bridger. "I want to go
hack to scouting again." "Indeed?" Why.
1 thought you had settled down In the
Hurt for the rest of your life." "Well,

But I thought you'd like the good things

—Four hundred elk teeth were sold in
Spokane. Wash., Ihe other day for 5140.
The demands of the members of the Order
of Elks and the growing scarcity have in
creased the value of the teeth. Fourteen

—From Debreczto In Hungary, comes a
love tale that opens new anatomical pos

bowlegged. He went to a hospital and
asked the doctors to straighten his legs
for him, but they told him it could only
be dono by breaking the legs and reset
ting them, and that the chances were
against the success of the operation. The
young man insisted on having it per
formed. The operation turned out all
right, and he went back to his girl and
won her.
—Every year the refiners and exporters
of sugar In France, Germany and Austria
lose vast sums by selling to the British
importers at less than cost price. The out
lay necessary to produce the sugar is
greater than the price received for it, and
thus the !o6lng trade goes on from year
to year. The men engaged in the trade
do not lose, for the business on its pres
ent basis would soon eat away their great
fortune. They are reimbursed for the
amount of their loss and receive a large
sum In addition to induce them to con
tinue the losing business, the donation be
ing contributed by the taxpayers. The
people think that exporting is beneficial
in itself, even when it results in an actual
toss.
—The stems of trees have provision for
a symmetrical arrangement of branches,
the nodes, or points where the buds are
produced, being placed at regular inter
vals, says the New York World. This
tendency toward symmetry is, however,
interfered with by several disturbing
causes, internal and external." The most
important of the former is the varying
degree of vigor in the buds, which be
have like distinct plants, some of them
growing Into strong branches, while oth
ers produce comparatively small shoots.
Even if all buds were of equal vitality,
regularity would not result. Many of the
buds and tender shoots are devoured by
birds, insects or squirrels. When of
larger size, branches are often torn away
by high winds, blasted by lightning, or
broken off by accident. A tree will some
times grow into an irregular form through
the pressure of prevailing winds. This
irregularly has also its use. In a gale of
wind it will be observed that the branches
sway In ail directions and the various
movements counterbalance each other. If
the branches were arranged with perfect
regularity they would all sway together,
and the leverage would be so great that
the tree might often be uprooted or broken
off short.
—locked securely away In the big safe
which is suesr a conspicuous feature of
the office of the librarian of Congress, is
a package which ranks in mystery with
"The Alan of the Iron Alask," says the
St. Louis Republic. It required the ef
forts of four able-bodied men to place the
package in its present location, and the
quartet remarked at the time that it was
the heaviest Job they had ever handled.
This package, whatever It contains, is a
donation to the government by a noted
collector of curios, the only stipulation ac
companying the gift being that it should
not be opened until the close ot the twen
tieth century, or 109 years hence. A con
gressional committee, composed ot mem
bers of both houses, whose duties are to
look after the affairs of the library, ac
cepted the gift and Its proviso and turn
ed- the bulky package over to Librarian
Putnam for safe-keeping. Securely sealed
and otherwise protected against prying
eyes of thus* who might seek to unravel
this mystery the wishes of the donor will
be respected, at least so tar as
this generation of custodians may be con
cerned. Inscribed upon the covering Is
the date upon w-hich the package was re
ceived. together with the names ot Libra
rian Putnam and Chief Clerk Alvord, both
of whom attest that its contents are un
known even to themselves. Naturally
enough, however, ihe mysterious parcel
has given rise lo all manner of conjectures
as to Its contents, the most generally ac
cepted theories being that it is some price
less manuscript or else an ancient
contemporaneous with the obelisk brought
from Egypt several years ago by Com
mander Gorringe for exhibition at the
Aletropolltan Museum in Central Park
New York.
