In h!s speech at Canton, yesterday, the ' President made an adroit attempt to create the impression that the policy of • his party in respect to the Philippines | is not imperiaPsm. In the course of his ! remarks he said; “The Republican par y was dedicated to freedem forty-four years ago. Jt has been the party of liberty and emancipation since that hour; not of pio- Rssion, but of performance. It broke the shackles of 4,000.000 slaves.and made them free and to the party of Lincoln has come another supreme opportunity which it has brave y met in the liberation of 10,<00,00) of the human family from the yoke of imperialism. in its solution of great problems, in its performance of high duties, it has had the support of members of all parties in the past and confidently invokes the:r co-opera ion in the future.” The President has overlooked the fact, apparently, that the 10,1MP.000 Filipinos do not understand that they have been en tirely released from the yoke of imperial ism They think the yoke undr which they are now held is a yoke of imperial ism, but little if any less objectionable than the one from which they were releas ed. They know they are not to have the s imp rights undrr the constitution of the United FtaUs that ri linens cf the Ameri can Union have, but are to be governed as Congn ss may direct. They cannot un derstand why this is not imperial Ism, pure and simple. And there arc a good, many American citizens who cannot un derstand why it isn’t. In his Canton spe ch the President took occasion to say. what the Republican platform fails to say. namely, that Con gress is clothed with ample power to govern territ ry that belongs to the Unit ed States, that the constitution does not follow t he flag. The manner in which the President dealt with the Philippine question indicates that he sees many difficulties in the way of a successful defense of the Philippine pol- , icy of his party. The Philippines were colonies cf Fpa n. ar.d the President says they v ere released from imperialism by the party of which he is chief. What is it that that party proposes now? To make the Filipinos freemen, citizens of the United States or an independent people 9 Nothing of the kind. It proposes that they shrill b co’onists of the United States, just as the> were colonists of Spain. It docs not pro; that they shall come within he jurisdiction of the constitution uf the United States, but that (hey shall !>•■ governed by Congress. If this is not the essence cf imperialism what is it? Hut the Democratic party is not opposing the Philippine policy of the Republican party simply because it denies liberty to the Filipinos, but mainly be cause of its effect upon the institutions of the United States. Its tendency is to make t he character of the government im perialistic. The concern of the Democratic party is for the 73,000.000 of American free men who are now enjoying the blessings of a government of the people by ttie peo ple and for the people. NOT A DEAD ISSIE. Notwithstanding the fact that Repub lican leaders and newspapers have been saying that the silver issue is a dead 4-- sue, Mr. McKinley devoted the greater part of the speech he delivered yesterday at Canton, <_)., upon the occasion of the visit of rhe committee appointed to notify him of his nomination for President, to the money question and the 16 to 1 idea. If lie and hif* party consider it a dead is sue, why did he devote so large a part of his speech to if? Asa tnatter of fact, neither he nor the Republican loaders re gard it ns a dead issue. All the indica tions are that they intend to do their ut most to make it the ie-tutlng issue of the campaign. The people may not be so much interested in it as they were in but that they are interested in it there is no doubt. In the course of his speech Mr. Mc- Kinley said: “Unforunately the threat of ISfv.i has just been renewed by the allied parties without abatement or modifica tion. The gold bill has been denounced and its repeal demanded. The menace of 16 to 1, therefore, still hangs over the country with all of its dire consequences to credit and confidence, to business and industry. The enemies of sound currency arc iallying their scattered force*. The people must once more unite, and over come the advocates of repudiation, and must not relax their energy until the bat tle for public honor and honest money shall again triumph.” This does not look as if the silver issue is dead, or that the Republicans consider it dead. On the contrary it justifies the conclusion that, so far as they can con trol the political situation, the Repub licans intend to make the silver issue, the most prominent issue of the campaign. They believe that they will have a better chance to win with that issue than with any other. It is r.ot by any means certain that they will succeed in iheir purpose. The Dem ocrats may concentrate their fire so strongly on imperialism that the Repub licans will have to take the defensive on that issue. In that event they will have very little time to give to the silver is sue. After all, however, the people will determine the issue. Just at present they seem to be interested in questions which have come to the front since the wnr with Spain, particularly as to whether this country shall remain a republic or. by exercising Imperialistic powers, become an empire. i Consul General Guenther, at Frankfort, I Germany, writes to the state department.

The Jester murder tilal, which is in pro gress at New London, Mo., promts s to I be unique in the court annals of this | country. The alleged murder was com j mined nearly thirty years ago, and the defendant A. J. Jester is now upwards of seventy-five years old. The victim of the crime, if crime there was, was Gilbert Gatf-s? elder brother of John W. Gales, the steel and wire millionaire. For a number of years John \V. Gates has relentlessly pursued the track of the man who, he he lp ves. killed his brother, and when Jester was arrest*d not lr.ng ago, under the nam* of Hill. Mr. Gates confronted him and charged him with having murdered Gil ber/ Gates. Jester neither affirmed nor denied the charge In the winter of 1870, Gilbert Gaps, then about 20 years old. start* and to return from Kansas to his old home in Illinois. He drove a team of horses to a wagon, and was accompanied by a shepherd dog. In the wagon there were household effects, a breech-loading rifle and articles of cloth ing. Young Gates wore an open-faced s l ver watch with a peculiar chain. At Fori Scott Gates fell in with Jester, who was ♦ raveling by tram in the same direction. After they had traveled together for some iittle distance, they camped one night near Middle Grove, a few miles from Paris, Mo. Gates was never seen after that night. The day following Jes ter was s*en driving one team and lead ing the other. Gates’ dog was found dead at the camp, lie had been shot. Persons who saw Jester driving one team and leading the other said they saw what ap peared to be a man asleep or drunk in the second wagon. This was in the dead , of winter, and the Missouri river was frozen over. It is the theory that the body in the wagon was that of Gates, and that Jester cut a hole through the ice and pushed the body into it. At all events flie body was never discovered. Later Gates’ father is said o have identified his son s horses in Jester’s pasture, his sbifs watch and chain in Jester's possession and his son's hat on the head of one of Jester’s nephews. Jester was arrested. When placed upon trial at Paris, Mo., he secured a change of venue to Mexico, Mo. At the letter place he broke jail and dis appeared. That was in 1872 He not spettfd again until last June, when he wrote a letter to his sister which led to his arrest in Oklahoma. It is said that the sister to whom he wrote, and who gave the letter to the authorities, was once die sweetheart of Gates, the mur dered man. During the past twenty-eight years it seems Jester has been leading a checkered life. At the time of the murder he. had a wife and several children in Kansas. After ids escape from jail he went to Texas, where he married and his wlfs had several children. Then in 1881) he left his Texas wife and went to Okla homa, where he mariicd still another wo man. He got a divorce from her, how ever, but within four mon hs was married the fourth time. It is said he was about to he married still again, when his s-isier wrote to the sheriff of Sedgwick county, Kansas, giving the information which led to his arrest. He is said to be an intelli gent, rather attractive looking man. with a ministerial cast of countenance and manner of dres. With his white hair and flowing b<ard cne would take him to be t a preacher rather than an accused mur derer. He quotes scripture frequently and is full of wise saws and modern instances. John W. Gates has had a dozen detec tives employed ever jinoe the arrest of Jester, sifting every particle of evidence bearing: upon (he case to be found in half a dozen states. So far, however, it is said the detectives have been unable to even establish that there, was a murder com mitted. The trial is likely to last from six weeks to two months. MH. CHOKER AND THE SILVER ftI'ESTIOV. It is very unfortunate for the country that Mr.' Richard Croker of New York did not devote his powerful mind to the study of the silver question long ago. If he had done so there is a probability that It would now be settled and out of the way. In an Interview in New York on Tuesday he said that he had been giving some attention to the silver question late ly and was surprised to find that the problem it presented was so easy to solve. Continuing, he is quoted as having said: "The distrust which some persons have of silver proceeds from Ignorance. They think it is a sort of bugaboo. When they study the question thoroughly they will vote Tor Mr. Bryan. As for the ratio of 16 to 1, that is something which per sonally I think Congress ought to estab lish every four years." No doubt financiers and politicians and statesmen In all parts of the country who have heard Mr. Croker’s solution of this troublesome question are wondering wily they never thought of this solution. Of course, they will agree with Mr. Croker that they were too ignorant to think of it. Even Mr. Bryan does not seem to have thought of it, because he will not agree that Congress shall have anything to do with fixing the ratio. He insists upon 16 to 1. Congress might think it advisable, if it decided to do anything about the ratio, to deal with it as a mer cantile question, tlxing the ratio in ac cordance with the market values of gold and silver; but even Congress would hard ly agree with the Croker view that the ratio should be established every four years. That would give the silver dollar so many different money values that it would require a person to have a renntrk nble memory to keep up with ail of them. If Mr. CrokcTs plan were adopted there never would he a settlement of the silver question. The rise and fall In the price of silver bullion would keep It alive. There would he no danger then of its be coming a dead question. It Is fuir to suppose that Mr. Croker has received con gratulations front many parts of the country on his silver question solution. The National Telephone ami Telegraph Company, which was cliartcrel in Now Jersey a day or two ago, gives promise of being one of Ihe most important corpora tions chartered for some time. The com pany is capitalized si $00,000.(100, and its charter empowers it to build, own and control telephone and telegraph lines in the Culled States and foreign countries. The charter specifies, among other things, that the company may employ wireless telegraph. It is . understood that tele phone and telegraph lines are lo lie con structed by the company in Cuba and the Philippines, as well us In this coun try. Charles H. Hoyt, the playwright, is going to be s2.o’ ! 0 richer on the morning after the general elec tion. Edward Gilmore. of the New York Academy of Music, has bet Hoyt that sum that he cannot name seven states that will go for Bryan, ar.d the money is in the hands of n stakeholder. , Hoyt has named Texas, Arkansas, Miss issippi. Alabama. South Carolina. Geor gia nnd Louisiana. He might have named half a dozen other states with perfect safety. Under the circumstances. Hoyt will get the money as easily a* picking it up. It is probable that the government will ! be called upon to send relief to Cap© Nome. It is said that there arc already i 10.C00 persons there who stand little if any I chance of getting either a gold-bearing claim or employment, and that they are practically without means. Meanwhile the transporation companies are using every inducement to get still other, people to go to the diggings. An epidemic of ty phoid fever is expected there during the summer, and when the rigid arctic winter conics on. the plight of the unfortunates will be pitiable in the extreme. The o;her day in Pittsburg, Thomas Ti. man. who had been deaf and dumb for fifty-nine years, recovered both senses upon falling frem he roof of a house. He lost hte speech and hearing when he ten years old. His fall from the roof was twenty-*ttve feet. He struck on his shoulders and was rendered unconscious. Upon his recovery hi? family was amazed to hear him ask what had happened. The doctors say that the shock of the fall released a portion of the brain that had before been bound or compressed in ecme manner.

Thp New Orleans Picayune (Dem.) snyr: "Our army needs are dictated, first ly. by the garrisons required for our sea coast defenses and larger garrison posts scattered through the country, and. sec ondly. by the extent of our possessions beyond seas. If Cuba and the Philippines are given their Independence, our need of a large standing army will be reduced to a minimum. The army leaders ought to have learned by this time that the Ameri can people are opposed to a large army, and favor the fostering of the national guard and militia as the nucleus of a large volunteer force in the event of war." The Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem.) says: "The independent voter will decide this contest, as he has decided previous contests, and it is reasonably plain that lie has not yet decided how he will vote, lie will, as a fact, take four months to consider the subject in. and when he de cides he will not be likely 10 take any one lmo his confidence. The independent voter is a man who does his own thinking and voting, and he cannot readily lie gulled by prosperity clap-trap or Hough- Rider nonsense.” The Cincinnati Commercial (Dem.) says "The great enthusiasm about the Kansas CUy Convention is about the plat form. It is seldom that a declaration of principles attracts so much attention. The plonk on Imperialism was a cent, r shot. It is strong enough to carry a ticket through, evert If it were not ti very strong ticket, and is well calculated to make people forget things, in the plat farm they do not like." The Norfolk Landmark (Dem.) says: "Senator Hanna regards ii as very amus ing that the Democrats should discrimi nate hetweeu expansion and imperialism. It must strike on Ohio Republican poli tician as queer for anybody to worry over the difference betweMi good and evil." The Memphis Commercial-Appeal (Dem.l says: "We ought to rescue the American citizen in China first. The in ternational problems cart be considered afterward.” \ stor> of Whistling nnd Been. Henry Fitch, a young farmer living at Mountain End, invited death for and his two oxen the other day by whis tling, says the St. Louis Republic. Young Fitch is a whistler of much abil ity. He has whistled at every farm house and every gathering in the neighborhood, and when he is w nitling nobody cares to limen to piano, violin, flute, guitar or banjo. The oh<r day Fitch was ploughing in hi field—ploughing and whistling. Two sleek, sleepy oxen were drawing the plough, and neither they nor Fitch paid any attention to anything but the plough ing and the whistling. Presently a swarm of thousands of honey bees hovered over them. There was no 11^ •* 'o run—siill less to fight them, and Fitch simply kept on whistling and plough ing while the bees settled softly upon him and the oxen. They seemed friendly enough as long as Fitch whistled, and Fitch admits that he was willing to w histle as long as they remained friendly and seemed inclined to listen. Fitch continued to plough along. His patch led toward his home, where he could see his mother in the yard. He caught the tails of the oxen and held them so the beasts might not anger the bees by switching them. For the distance of half a mile ho held those two oxtails and whistled. His mother looked up and saw him. He and his oxen looked like they might l>e covered with a‘soft, brown fur. Fitch stopped whistling just long enough to shout “bees,” and then continued his team without the bees realizing that he had dropped a note* Mrs. Fitch acted at once. She knows something of bees and realized that unless she got them hived in short order they would probably sting her son to death. For she argued that he could not keep on whistling forever. So she got a huge tin pan and began beating it vigorously. The bees stirred uneasily at this interruption of their con cert, but they did not sting, and after a lew moments every one of them rose in the air and started toward the tin pan. Mrs. Filch led the way to an empty hive which had luckily been prepared for an other swarm, and. by dint of much heat ing and coaxing, got all the bees into it. Fitch stopped whistling, sat down flat on the ground, and mopped his face. The sleek, lazy oxen switched their tails vigor ously to make up for lost time. Not Piety, lint I'ork. The following bit of non-conformist hu mor is taken from “The Farringdon,” an English romance. The speakers are Mrs. Bateson and Mrs. Hinkey, worthy wives, but not altogether above feeling a certain pleasure in showing up the ways of hus bands . “They’ve no sense, men haven’t,” said Mrs. Hankey, that's what’s the matter with them.” “You never spoke a truer word, Mrs. Hankey,” replied Mrs. Bateson. “The very best of them don’t properly know the difference between their souls and their stomachs, and they fancy they are n wrestling with their doubts when really it is their dinners that are a-wrestling wiih them. “Now', take Bateson hisself.’ c’ontinued Mrs. Batesofa. “A kinder husband or bet ter Methodist never drew breath, jet so sure as he touches a bit of pork he be gins to worry hisself about the doctrine of election till there’s no living with him. And then he'll sit in the front parlor and engage in prayer for hours at a time until 1 say 10 him: “ ‘Bateson.’ says I, ‘l'd be ashamed to go to the Loro with a prayer when a pinch o’ carbonate of soda would set things straight again.’ ” Lincoln’s Strung'- Wooing. Lincoln’s wooing and wedding are of so peculiar a nature that they deserve no tice in the annals of his remarkable life, as throwing a side light upon one aspect of his character with w’hich the general public is wholly unfamiliar, says Collier’s Weekly. This peculiarity can only be ex plained by his disordered- state of mind when he became- acquainted with Miss Mary Todd in 1839. His wooing was a series of morbid misgivings ns to the force of bis affections, of alternate ardor and coolness, advances and withdrawals, and every variety of strange language and freakish behavior, continued until the appearance of his omnipresent political rival, Douglas, in the field of love, gave it the much needed matrimonial impetus. But when, after several months of court ship. the wedding day arrived, the bride waited vainly amid her silks and flowers for the recalcitrant lover. Friends dis covered him on the morrow, hidden in an out-of-the-way corner, if* not inaaue, at least sunken in one of those absorbing fits of despondent gloom from which he suf fered at that time. Months later, when he was quite recovered, the wedding took place, this ‘time with much less ostenta tion, thanks to the former ridiculous per formance. Told l*> Adlici Stevciittnn.

Democratic candi date for Vice President, gave prohibition states a backhanded slap at a banquet given to him by the State Bar Association last year, when no wine was served, says a Sioux City dispatch in the New York Sun. He was called upon to respond to a toast, and said that he was not prepared to make a speech, hut would tell them a story about a man who struck a small prohibition town in the state of Maine, bringing with him an abiding thirst. There being no saloon he tried a drug store. There he was told that he could get whisky only 011 a physician's prescrip tion. He consulted a physician, but got no relief, and desperately asked: “What am I going to do about it?” The doctor said there was a nest of snakes not more than a mile and a half fiom town. If he could manage to get bit by a snnke he would have to have whisky as an antidote, and the doctor would make out the prescription. The man with a thirst started off to the snake cave. An hour and a half later he returned, tired, dimty and disconsolate. “Well, did you do as I told you?” in quired the doctor. “My dear sir,” replied the man with the thirst, “I called on the snakes, but dis covered that every one of them had their bites engaged lor six months ahead.” Too >llicit for Jerry.
