Though Mr. Bryan may not make so ex tended a campaign tour as he did in 1896, there will be plenty of op|>ortunity to hear him. phonograph lea 11 y speaking. Doubt less, the phonograph cylinders- at which he recently talked portions of his Indian apolis speech, or copies of them, will be plentifully distributed throughout the country. The governor of Missouri has become the subject of some curious comment be cause of his action in respiting one Brad ford, a condemned murderer of Poplar Bluff, on account of the fact that thecon demned man is threatened with blindness. He has not satisfied the public curiosity with hie reasons, end it ie being asked whether the governor thought the afflic tion would follow the condemned man in to the other world, or considered, per haps, that blindness is a worse punish ment then death. The boycott is not anew thing among exclusive social sets, but a boycott upon royalty by society is undoubtedly some thing in the way of a novelty. The new Queen of Servia, however, once plain Mme. Braga Mas chin, but royal now by reason of her alliance, finds herself in the position of the boycotted, not alone by Servian society, but by the foreign am bassadors and ministers at the Servian capital. Her principal crime seems to tave been that as an ordinary mortal she has allied berseif with a king. The movement to make Controller Bird 8. Coler of the city of New York the Democratic nominee for governor of New York state is growing in strength among the conservative members of the party there. It is now stated that Croker, who has been a strong opponent of the Coler movement, has decided to give in and will support him. Coler's unpopularity among the politicians has arisen from his fear less opposition to their questionable schemes and his exposure and defeat of plane which appeared to have been form ed for the purpose of looting the public puree. So far as human nature Is concerned there is no difference between New York and New Orleans. Tbe ink that told the deplorable story of the troublG in New Orleans scarcely had time to dry be fore there comes from New York an ac count of the same sort of an affair—the Indiscriminate attack by a mob upon in nocent negroes in a spirit or revenge. To the credit of New Orleans, be it said, how ever, the police of that city did not Join In the work of the mob, as was the case in New York. Critics of the South should find much food for moralizing in the New Y'ork affair. Webster Davis puts Oom Paul Kruger in an entirely new light. We have been accustomed to hearing of him as a man of millions who carried a large part of It with him in gold whenever he sought an other kopje. In denying very emphati cally the report of President Kruger hav ing made a contribution to the Demo cratic campaign fund, Mr. Davis putß the fameus South African statesman in the light of a poor mail, asserting that he has spent all the money he could roko and scrape for years In putting In a sup ply of arms and ammunition for the in evitable war with Eugiuud. Though that may be true, |t is hardly likely that ■•Uncle Paid" is taking any chances on the poor house. THE AXTT-IMPERIALIST MOVEMENT The rength of the anti-imperialist movement and the prominence of the men in it are causing uneasiness In the ranks of the Republicans. It is becoming clear er every day that the paramount issue of the campaign is Imperialism. The Lib erty Congress of the Anti-Imperialist League at Indianapolis 1s having a tre mendous effect in drawing the attention of the people to that issue. The leaders of that league are among the most promi nent men of the country. Many of them were supporters of Mr. McKinley in 18%. When the Republicans see such of their own party as Ex-Gov. Boutwell of Massa chusetts, and such distinguished Gold Democrats as Bourke Cockran of New York, supporting Mr. Bryan on the Im perialistic i*sue, they are apt to wonder whether, after all, imperialism is not the great issue of the campaign. The Republicans are making every pos sible effort to get the people to give th*ir attention to the 16 to 1 issue, but thus far they have met with no success. Their illustrated papers continue toprlnt pictures of a dinner pail, alleged to be full, and their organs continue to Insist that Mr. Bryan la hiding the real Issue—the issue of 16 to I—under the mask of imperial ism. but as far as can be seen the pub lic is manifesting interest only in imper ialism. The fact is. the people have heard oil they want to hear about silver. They are no longer afraid that the country would be put on a silver basis if Mr. Bryan should be elected. Besides, they are gen uinely alarmed by the imperialistic ten dencies of the Republican party. It may be said that the republic is in no more danger of imperialism from the Repub lican party than from the Democratic party, but the people know that the Re publican party favors making colonies of the Philippines, and that colonies mean government without the consent of the governed, and that that means imperial ism. They are aware also that they ore al ready feeling the weight of imperialism. An army of 65,000 men is being main tained in the Philippines at the cost of $10,000,000 a month. They see no benefit from this immense outlay. They realize that an army will have to be kept in the islands for years, and that the commerce which the United States will get from them will not begin to pay the salaries of the office holders who will be sent there, much less the cost of supporting the army there. The Anti-Imperialirt League draws its strength from Republicans and Gold Democrats. All of its members were sup porters of Mr. McKinley in 1896, and they are representative men. Each one of them exerts a powerful influence in his community. Under the circumstances the Republicans will find it impossible to make much headway in their efforts to get the people to think about the silver question. C01.1.1S P. HUNTINGTON'S RECORD. Collis P. Huntington, whose funeral takes place to-day, was one of the mighty men of the nation. He was a builder and a developer. His works will remain long after those of most of his famous contem poraries are forgotten. The newspapers and periodicals have given much space to his biography. There have been comments in which a great deal was said in his praise, and here and there it has been hinted that he did not always gain his ends by methods that could be approved from a high moral standpoint. The ref erences were, of course, to the methods by which he is supposed to have secured legislation necessary for the success of some of his numerous enterprises. The question which presents itself in this connection ie this: Could he have ac complished what he did if he had not re sorted to the methods employed by the lobbyist? It is said of him that he under stood men. He knew how to deal with them and get from them what he wanted. It may be that if he had depended wholly upon the merits of his undertakings for the legislation that was necessary to make them successful, he would not have accomplished what he did. Would it have been better to have abandoned them than to have made use of the weaknesses of the men with whom he had to deal? The lobbyist is severely condemned—that is, the lobbyist who secures legislation by the use of money or promises of rewards. Still, if w r eak, corrupt men were permit ted to stand in the way of great under takings, the world would have to wait for some of Its most valuable Improvements. Unfortunately the methods of the lobbyist are often used to obtain legislation that is Injurious to society—that Is intended to get something from the public and to give nothing in return. If lobbyists had only the public good in view there would not be such wholesale condemnation of them. No doubt Mr. Huntington, assuming that he got legislative concessions by means that were not wholly legitimate, was working for his own interests in all that he did, but the fact cannot be over looked that In promoting his own inter ests he advanced those of the public. He built railroads and established steamship lines. The transportation facilities which he created made the setllement and de velopment of vast areas of country pos sible. They promoted agriculture end commerce and gave employment to tens of thousands of people. Is he, therefore ,to be condemned if he got legislative concessions in the only way that it seemed possible to get them? Would he have been able to accomplish what he did if he had had a different sort of conscience? Would the country have been a gainer or a loser if he had stood upon a higher moral plane in seeking grants, charters and other concessions from legislative bodies? That is a quen tlon to which there is not likely to be given much attention at this time. In all probability Frank Swan of Utica, N. Y , will vote for Bryan, no matter what his politics have been heretofore. While out boating the other day with a party the craft capszed and Swan was the only one of the party who could not swim. There was a large framed picture of Col. W. J. Bryan on board and when the boat went over Swan grabbed it. This kept him up until he was able to reach shore and lie will, no doubt, now be dourly devoted to the Democratic candidate. There Is another thing beside the pos session of a Russian title to make Populist Candidate Wharton Barker Ineligible for the presidency—the fact that he would not be able to come anywhere near get ting enough votes. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY; AUGUST 17. 1000. quarrelling among the pow ers. The United States are the only entirely disinterested one of the Powers engaged i in the effort to rescue the ministers and other foreigner© besieged in Pekin. Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan and Russia are apparently forgetting the ob ject of the landing of troops on China’s , soil, and are figuring how they can gain material advantages or prevent each other from gaining such advantages in China. Russia, it seems, has landed troops at Newr Chwang, the entry port of North China, and has taken possession of it. nn<l is collecting the customs. It is claim ed that she has not kept faith with* the other Powers, It being the understanding that until she ministers were relieved there should be no attempt to seize Chi nese territory. Great Britain, fearful that she will not get her share when the time comes for grabbing territory, pro poses to land troops at Shanghai. Ger many, being in doubt as to Greet Brit ain’s purpose, is preparing to land troops there also. Japan objects to the course ■ that Russia has pursued, and France ob- ! jects to the proposed course of Great Britain. All of these Powers are concern ing themselves more about material in terests in Chinn than about the welfare of the ministers end their families im prisoned in the legations at Pekin. The United States have set them an example that ought to put them to shame. Japan, however, should be excepted from condemnation. She Is not seeking terri tory. She is standing shoulder to shoul der with the Unite*] States in the effort to prevent a great tragedy at Pekin. She is protesting against the, occupation of New Chwang by Russia, because it is against her interest for Russia to extend her rule over any considerable part of Chinese territory. She understands that the. purpose of Russia is to exercise do minion over the. whole of North China. It will be remarkable if the Powers get out of China without a fight among them selves. The European Powers are so greedy for territory that each of them is prepared to take almost any risk and to break almost any obligation, however sacred, to get a share of the Chinese em pire. If the United States are wise they will keep clear of nil land grabbing en tanglements. They have all the land they will need for several generation©, and the genius end energy of their people are sufficient to insure, them a full share of the world’s commerce. “1 HE GOOD ANGEL OF PORTO RICO.** The Spanish-Amerlcan war brought in to notice many very noble women. The names of only a few of them, however, ever became known to the public. Among these few are Miss Annie Wheeler, daugh ter of Gen. Wheeler, Miss Anna Boulingy of New Orleans, Miss Helen Gould and Miss Margaret Livingston Chanler of New York. If they had not been either rich or connected with distinguished families it is probable that the public, would not have heard so much of them. Miss Chanler recently claimed atten tion by her report of the condition of af fairs in the government hospitals in Ma nila. She informed the Surgeon Geenral ol the army that tine re was a great lack of many important things in that hos pital. Her statements stirred up the med ical department of the army as it has not been stirred since charges, thick an l fast, were showered upon it d-jrtng the war. Miss Chanler has voluntered to go to China and help nurse the American sol diers wounded in the battles fought in the movement on Pekin. She is a Red Cross nurse and an excellent one. She was in Porto Rico during a part of the time of the Spanlsh-American war, and she did her work so well that she was caPed “The good angel of Porto Rico.’’ Miss Chanler is a Red Cross nurse from choice. She is a granddaughter of John Jacob Astor and is connected with many of the old families of New York. She has an income of $35,000 a year, to gether with a house in New York city and a cp.iplo of country places. She has forsaken a life of luxury and ease be cause she believes it is her duty to be of use In the world. The greater part of her large income she spends in good works of one kind and another. With several other noble women she was voted a medal by Congress for her services in the Spanish-Amerioan war. The country cannot have too many such women. Columbus, Ga., furnishes an interesting example of the throttling power of the trusts. A few months ago the Southern Wadding Mills were incorporated in that city with a capital stock of $23,000, the promoters all being prominent business men of that city. Their idea was to utilize the waste from the cotton mills of Colum bus and other points In Georgia and con vert them into batting and wadding. It seems, however, that the Columbus busi ness men made a miscalculation—they for got there was such a thing as the batting and wadding trust. After a conference be tween several of the stockholders in the Columbus enterprise and officials of the trust, the former decided to abandon their plans in consideration of the payment of a certain sum, and they now find them selves with a half-'flnlshed plant on their hands. It was either do that or be ruined by the trust, and the Columbus business men decided to get out of it in the most convenient manner that presented Itself. The remarkable run of the Hamburg- American Line steamship, Deutschland, from New York to Plymouth in five days, eleven hours and forty-five minutes, puts her in the front rank of ocean greyhounds, for she has broken every record for fast traveling across the Atlantic but one, an,l that was only a day's run of the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosso, in which the. latur vessel made 580 miles. It is claimed r.ow that the Deutschland Is entitled to the distinction of being the first "five-day liner" for if she had gone over the usual run to Queenstown her record would have been several minutes less than five days. But even the Deutschland's magnificent record cannot be called the limit, for a rival company is now having a vessel built guaranteed to keep up twenty-four knots an hour, faster by three-quarters of a knot than the Deutschland, and thus will the race of the great ocean rivals continue perhaps to the end of time. With the buyer taking the long chance and paying the Florida orange grower $1.50 per box for the fruit on the trees thus early In the season, as is reported from several Florida points, and w.th th largest crop since the freeze in sight, lh> outlook before that state Is by no means unpleasant on*. The pinnacle of pugilistic fame is evi dently not an “open sesame” to resi dence among, much less to association 1 w r ith, the exclusive set. The resident© of Rensonhurst, the exclusive section of a New York suburban resort known as 1 Bath Beach, are much perturbed over the report that one Robert Fitzsimmons of fistic fame has bought a residence there through an agent and that he intends to occupy it. The party who sold the house new threatens to apply to the court for r annulment of the contract before ehe will permit the Fitzsimmonses to mingle in Benson hurst society. The Chinese disturbance calls to mind j the fact that John E. Ward, a Georgian and Pavannahtan, once mayor of this j ci y, was the first minister ever accredited j by the United State® to China, and the first foreign envoy extraordinary from any foreign power to enter the Chinese capital. Mr. Ward received his commis sion in that capacity Dec. 15, lv r B, and re signed as president '■‘f the Genrgin Senate l to go on his long but interesting journey, j Mr. Ward Is row’ a resident of New York, j aid though 83 years old is ©till hsle and vigorous.

Alphonso XIII. and eldest daughter of the Queen Regent, Dona Christina, to her distant cousin. Prince Charles of Bourbon, member of the royal house of Naples, is unofficially announced. The Spanish government apprehends some opposition to the contemplated marriage both in the Cortes and in the press. The Republicans of every shade have already announced that they will not allow the royal communication to pass unchallenged in the Lower House, and they propose to invoke the ordinary rules of Congress to move and second a motion which will en able them to discuss at length, and to force others to join in debate upon, the expediency of the marriage of the Princess of Asturias with a Neapolitan Bourbon who is the second soti of a quondam Car list general.

Then she passed it out of sight. But the mystery srill engrossed her mind. “Daddy,” she said, “what was hash when K was alive?”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. CURRENT COMMENT. The Columbia State (Dem.l, thinks there is somewhat of a breach between Gov. McSweeney and Senator Tillman, though they are supposed to be pulling together. It says: “In his speech printed in The State yesterday Gov. McSweeney declar ed that In Charleston “the state authori ties have done everything within their power to enforce tne dispensary law" and bis headlines over this statement affirm ed that It had been enforced there “with vigor and fearlessness.” In other speeches the Governor had insisted that the law was being enforced in Charleston by him as fully as it had ever been enforced. What did Tillman say to this? He said: "The law and the constitution are both against the sale of liquor now, and yet there are to-day open barrooms in Charleston and Columbia. There is now a law' against open bars, yet they are run In Charleston and Columbia, as will be told you." And he has repeatedly assert ed that when he was governor he kept Charleston free from blind tigers. Here are distinct issues of veraelty between McSweeney and Tillman, and Tillman is “rubbing it into” the governor as hard as anyone. Yet there are McSweeney men who persist in refusing to believe that Tillman is against their candidate.” The Pittsburg Post (Demi, says: •'Federal employes have again been In formed by the civil service commission that it is a punishable offense for any political leader to demand campaign con tributions from them. This is cleverly evaded by Republican managers by simp ly requesting “voluntary contributions," and though failure to comply cannot un settle the position of any employe, num berless ways are usually found to make him so uncomfortable that he finds It convenient to resign. The proper way to make the civil service law effective ie to prosecute those who ask for such con tributions.” Jacksonville Is evidently after a lot of good things. The Jacksonville Times- ITnion and Citizen (Dem). says: "We never. slip lower while struggling for the top of the ladder. Jacksonville has set her eyes high, and she is working manfully to become the capital of the state, to clear the Bt. Johns of all obstruction, to make herself worthy of her business and keep herself so. Her sister cities may op pose her in some things, because they are right In trying to get good things, too, but they must admire her pluck and push and glory In her growth, for, are we not all in the same family?" The Philadelphia Record, (Dem i, says: "The Republican newspapers hardly know what to say about the Silver Republican? who have come out for Mr. McKinley. To credit them with a return of reason would be lo admit that Free Silver is dead: and to own up to the latter fact would be to encourage Gold Democrats to support Mr. Bryan. However, there are scarcely enough reformed Silver Repub licans to make the question Important.” ITEMS OF INTEREST. —Judge Harmon of the Essex county, Massachusetts, probate court has held that John W. Hutchinson, the noted vo calist and old-time abolitionist. Is not in sane, and has refused to appoint a con servator for his property, as he considers him competent to care for it properly. The petition for a conservator was filed by three of his children. —A sail r nam'd Wilson, who was on the Oregon w’hen she grounded on the rocks recently, is authority for the state ment that after she hod stuck there three days a big modern Chinese cruiser hove in sight chased by the Russians. As she approached the Oregon she ran up an American flag. Her officers claimed the protection of Capt. Wilds and got it. —According to a report recently Issued by the Rhode Island State Board of Ag riculture, which is also a catalogue of the farms for sale in the state, there are 2T>l untilled farms with buildings, and '*B without buildings, making a total of 349 farms in the little state which are without any sort of tillage. The total acreage of there i:n:llled farms in 30.313; tillage, 12,044; pasture. I.HR; wood, 16.751. The total price or valuation of these 30,313 acres is $313.90^. —Says “Memorial Diplomatique,” Paris: A curious legend is current among the fishermen of Corfu. It is recounted that the Empress Elizabeth of Austria, in h<r great grief at the loss of her son, retired to the Villa d’Achillean. There she col lected all the pearls which she had worn since her marriage, and, enclosing them all in a small box, threw them into thesea. The fishermen never put out in their boats without booing to recover the box some day in their nets. —A curious instance of the irony of fate, remarks the Bombay Gazette, may be witnessed ju£t now at the Calcutta docks, where hundreds of Chinese carpenters, etc., ere busily at work preparing the transpets to carry the enemies of their own country to their destination at Hong Kong. John Chinaman, however, is pro verbially indifferent to things outside his immediate view, and it is quite possible that these Celestials have never even heard of a Chinese crisis. —There is quite a mild excitement just now at the Bank of England, says the London Chronicle, because of an innova ton at that venerable and conservative institution. A flags;aff has actually been placed above the building, and many are shaking their heads at the sudden giddi ness of the Old Lady of Threadneedlo street. The suggestion has been made in all seriousn*ss that numbers might well be placed on the flagstaff and the bank rate Indicated from time <to time by the hight of the flag on the pole. —An effort Is to be put forth, says the London Pcpu’ar Phrenologist, to make this year’s congress in November a really imposing gathering. A large number of prominent p rsons, M.P.’s and others, who are known to be favorable to phrenology are to be irnited to the gr at public meet ing in the evening, end it Is hoped that a notable personage will preside.. Phrenol ogy s everywhere should, by their pres ence and otherwise, help the council in the su, r rc*me effort to compel a recognition of phreno ogy by the highly educated and in fluential classes. —Many yearsago, relates the British To bacco Trade Review, Mr. Kruger bought from an old half-breed woman peddler a meerschaum pipe, to which she : -ribed the power of foretelling the future. The old woman predicted that three important changes in his life would be foretold by accidents befalling the pipe. Early in the year 1881, before the independence of the Transvaal was modified, the stem came to pieces; a little before the Jame son raid he chipped a piece off the bowl; and just before his departure for the Bloemfontein conference last year the pipe fell to the ground and was smashed to fragments. —The smallest and oldest republic in the w'orld, San Marino, a little country of thirty-two square miles, lying in the Apen nines, has tw T o Presidents, each of whom exercises power for six months. The mode of electing the.se officers is extremely cu rious. Every six months the members of the Chamber of Deputies, which is the popular house of the Legislature, nomi nate six of their own number; three bal lots are then given to every voter, each with the names of two of these six. The polling place is the Cathedral of San Ma rino, the capital of the country. Tile ballot-box is placed on the high attar, and after the ballots have been placed in the box a child draws one at random. A prieit then anounees the name on the bal lot, and the person thu6 named becomes the President of the republic. —A department store, the main purpose of which will be to elevate the negro, wlli be established next fall in Chicago by the Rev. J. M. Townsend, of Allen M. E. Temple, a colored church, who has been elected field secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Mission work, with headquarters in Chicago, says the Cin cinnati Enquirer. "I maintain,” he said to-day, “that the great need of the ne groes is employment in something more than menial lines. The negro problem is not one of the race, but of the individual. In connection with my church work in Chicago, I will run the department store, and I have the capital in view’. White end colored will have employment on the basis of ability. The money power will raise the negro as it has the Jew. who was once as much persecuted as the negro is now.” —The beet sugar industry is attaining wonderful proportions in various sections of this country, says the Phila delphia Record. A few years ago in some sections of central New York the peppermint oil crop was the leading feature, and brought more money Into the hands of the farmers than did the apple crop. But now the peppermint crop is mostly a thing of the past in that section and the mint stills are kept In operation by the crop of a few acres near them. The beet sugar crop has driven the mint crop westward, for the farmers find it more profitable to raise sugar beets. Ten years ago every community in central New York had a resident who was getting rich by stilling mint, but these same mills are now falling into dis use. Lyons, N. Y., was the center of the mint market of the world, but that honor is now among the claims of distant West ern cities. The fame of the Wayne coun ty oils was known near and far and took the world's prize at the Columbian ex position in 1893. The Pan-American ex position will bring n new locality Into similar prominence in all probability. Thus, the peppermint crop, like the march of civilization, has gone westward. —HarrydeWindt, a young explorer, who has already traveled 950.000 miles over the surface of the globe, will start out next month on the longest trip he has ever un dertaken, says the Chicago Tribune. He has been commissioned by a syndicate of Paris bankers to Investigate the possi bility of building a through railroad line from Paris to New York, taking advan tage, of course, of the lines already built. He will travel over the great Russian Transslberinn line to its terminus and will there take a slenge, which will event ually carry him to East Cape, the easter most point of Asia, which In the winter time is separated from the most wester ly Alaskan islands by only six miles of open water. And In the center of this six mile stretch stick up two big rocks, which It Is possible might he useful If the project of hridglng the straits Is ever carried out.
