It seems probable that the Powers will
have, to negotiate with Li Hung Chang
without further questioning his creden

The community of Neodosha, Kan., a
town of about 1,500 inhabitants, < !nims a
rather unique distinction. The majority
of the people there are thin in ilesh, and
many of the men and women weigh loss

claims that if ail the people of that com
munity were stood up in line and dressed
only in Indian attire, they would make
a picture equal to the representations of
starving India. Physicians claim that
the great bodies of natural gas and oil
under the town are nature's anti-fat rem
edy.
Secretory Gage’s recent interview in
which he said it would be possible for
Mr. Bryan, if elected, to overthrow the
gold standard, is believed to be the lust
effort of the Republicans to force the
silver issue to the front. The Republi
can apathy in the East, of which Mr.
Hanna has found so much, is evidently
due to the fact that that issue is no long
er feared, and now that .Mr. Gage has
spoken, the Grand Old Party will have
to drop it. The issues of imperialism and
trusts are at the forefront and the Re
publicans must make the most of them.

THE DEMOTH %TIC TEXT BOOK.
It is expected that the Democratic cam
paign text-book will be ready for distri
bution on Saturday next. The accounts
of it which are appearing in the dis
patchts justify the conclusion that it con
tains suggestions and pointers enough for
a hundred speeches. Mr. McKinley’s ad
ministration is thoroughly dissected and
the evidences of his lack of backbone are
presented. Not one of the short-comings
of his White House career is overlooked.
Considerable space is given to the in
efficiency of the management of the Span
ish-American war. and particularly to
the canned beef charges and the lack of
sanitation which prevailed in the camps
of the volunteers—a condition of affairs
which cost many more lives than were
lost in fighting the Spanlaids.
One of the things discussed that will
attract a good deal of attention is the
report that it is on the programme of the
Republican party to divide the Philip
pines into five territories for admission
into the Union as states. The Southern
states presented to Republican adven
turers such fat pickings that it is not at
all improbable that the Republican party
s- < s a tine opportunity in the Philippines
for providing offices for its* members.
Five I’h lippine territories would afford
splendid opportunities for such Republi
cans as were carpet-baggers in recon
struction times to get rich at the expense
of tho natives.
There is no doubt that the Republican
leaders* have some scheme on foot relative
to the Philippines which they have not
dartd to make public in the present con
dition of public sentiment in respect to
the islands. It is certain that the people
of the United States are a tong way now'
fr*;m being willing to admit the Filipinos
to citizenship. The negro problem is trou
blesome enough without having added to
it a Filipino problem.
The Democratic campaign text-book
promises to be a much more effective doc
ument of its kind than the Republican
campaign text-hook. From the accounts
of it the opinion is formedithat it is com
piled with much more care and far great
• r ability, it contains good many things
the people should think about during the
progress of the campaign.
THE WORK OF THE KHMK KY
I.EGISL \TI RE.
It is evident from what the Kentucky
newspapers are saying, that there is some
fear that the Legislature of that state,
now in session for the* sole purpose of pro
viding an election law that will meet the
approval of the people, will fail to ac
complish satisfactorily the task which it
has undertaken. It is stated that it will
be impossible to get a majority to vote
for the repeal of ihe Goebel luw—the law
which has been the cause of so much
trouble—and that opposition to any radical
amendment of that law is strong.
No doubt a great many bills amending
the Goebel law will be introduced, and
it may be* that there will be bills provid
ing for its repeal, the repealing bills com
ing from the Republicans, who will en
deavor, no doubt, to make all the politi
cal capital they can out of the fact that
the Democrats have decided to change
the law.
The Democrats, in order to accomplish
the object they have in view, namely,
to provide an election law' that will be
acceptable to all fair-minded voters,
should not be satisfied with any half way
measure. A measure of that sort would
not bring back into the ranks of the Dem
ocratic party those Democrats who left
it because they were against Goebel and
the Goebel election law. If an absolute
ly fair law is made the anti-Goebel Dem
ocrats, or rather the Brown Democrats,
will vote the Democratic ticket this fall
With their votes there is no doubt that
the Democrats would elect not only the
istate ticket, but also their presidential
electors.
It is evident that the Legislature has
i very important duty to perform—a duty
that requires the exercise of a great deal
of good judgment. It can so amend the
election law as to take from the Republi
cans the political capital on which they are
depending for sucee.-s. If it lets party
feeling control it, however, the probabili
ties are that its action will fall short of
the requirements of the situation, and
the work of the extra session will amount
practically to nothing', so far as making
it easier for the Democrats to carry the
state. It is within the bounds of proba
bility that the Legislature’s action will
nave on imi>ortant bearing on the presi
dential election.
A HOT AAn DRY MOVIII.
August seem* determined to maintain
to the end the record it has made as a
hot and dry month. There has been u
great excess ol heat over the normal, and
there his not been rain enough to cause
♦he average observer to remember that
there has been any rain nt all. And
the heat and drought have been very
destructive to the crops in thie and some
of tUe other states, it is a safe state
ment that the drought and heat of Au
gust have damaged the farmers of Geor
gia to th** extent of millions of dollars.
The month has been a notable one in
other sections. The Chicago papers speak
of the weather us tropical in that city. It
ha* been intensely hot there, and the
ruins have been frequent and heavy. Some
of the citizens who were soldiers in the
Spanish-American war, say that the
weather this month in Chicago has been
very much like that of Cuba, only the
Cuban weather is less oppressive. Au
gust, from any i*>int which it may lie
viewed, has been an uncomfortable month
over a wide section of country.

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY; AUGUST 30. 1900.
MH. HR Y A VS PROGKAMWR.
Immediately after Mr. Bryan was nom
i inated it was given out that he would
! r.ot repeat hie remarkable speech-making
| performance of 1896, but would remain at
: his home in Lincoln, where he would re
[ celve visiting delegations end make a few
| speeches from his front porch. If that
was bis intention he has changed his
mind, if recent dispatches from Lincoln
are reliable. It Is now said that it is
his purpose to take the stump about Sept.
15, ami make speeches from that lime un
til election day.
There is no doubt that Mr. Bryan is the
most successful campaign speaker in the
country. The speeches he made in the
campaign of 1836 had a tremendous influ
ence. He drew great crowds wherever he
went, and what he said was always fresh,
bright, entertaining and instructive. If
he takes the stump during this campaign,
he will be worth more than any score of
the other speakers. What he will say will
l>e to the point, and will have weight, and,
besides, his speeches will be published
in all of the leading newspapers. In that
way he will be able to talk to the entire
country pretty nearly every day.
In the campaign of 1896, the Associated
Press pent out extracts of about all of
Mr. Bryan’s speeches. That was a com
pliment that was paid to no other one of
the stump speakers of either party. In
fmt, most of the other sneakers simply
repeated one speech. Therefore there wns
1.0 • .ision for giving a synoptis of what
they sai l.
And it was to the credit of Mr. Bryan
i’ in no one of the many speeches he
inaJt did he say anything that opened the
way for his political opponents to attack
him or his party. His record in that re
spect was so remarkable that it was the
subject of very general comment.
In 1896, he talked mainly on the money
question. In this campaign he will dis
cuss imperialism—at least he will give
more attention to that issue than to any
other—and it is safe to predict that he
will handle his subject with such judg
ment and ability that the campaign man
agers of his party will have no more
‘ a use to criticise his utterances than had
the managers of the Democratic campaign
four years ago.
GROWTH OF SAVANNAH’S COM
MERCE.
A growing commerce is the chief factor
in the material progress of most pros
perous cities. Railroads are the chief
means* for promoting commerce. Of
course the railroad must have a terri
tory from which to draw its business,
but when constructed it is an important
factor in the development of the city
where it has its terminal. Railroads no
longer have to go begging for terminal
sites. Cities are glad to assist railroads
in getting them.
In no city have these facts been more
prominently illustrated within recent
years than in Savannah. This city has
txen peculiarly favored in the growth of
her important transportation facilities.
Years ago when old Central railroad
built its wharves, which have since been
developed into the largest terminal on
the South Atlantic, and added to its
equipment the Ocean Steamship lines,
the commerce of Savannah received an
impetus which has carried her far be
yond her business rivals. There followed
soon the extension of the Plant System
lines to the river front and the develop
ment of a magnificent wharf frontage
which has since added some millions to
Savannah’s business volume. Now there
comes the Seaboard Air Line with anew
gigantic terminal property almost com
pleted, and upon a site heretofore unde
veloped and unimproved. Savannah tl 1
soon have to add to her five miles oi
wharves on the Southern side of the river
a couple of miles more on the Northern
side. Ihe Southern Railway has* come as
another feeder and will dump her share
of traffic up n the three great terminals
named.
Wi h such facilities it may well be sato
111,it Savannah has no rival in the com
mercial fi< Id on the Atlantic st aboard
south of Baltimore. Natural advantages
alone considered, there are none that can
comjwte with her. And this large com
merce will continue to grow and increase
just in proportion a- does the country
from which it is drawn. The lesson of
the last teach*s that there is important
work ahead for the future. There is an
obi gat ion uj>on every citizen to aid in
the work of advancement. Tv) keep pace
with th s growth of commerce Savannah’s
harbor must have added depth, ami that,
too, very soon. The efforts of the people
should be directed tow aid securing a har
bor that will accommodate vessels of
twenty-eight and thirty feet draught. It
D the duty and pleasure ct every good
citizen to work not alone to that end
but for the advancement of the city along
other lines of giowth and progress. The
commercial year of Southern seaport
cities which will begin on Sept. 1, will
doubt’ess surpass in importance its pre
decessors. The commercial growth of Sa
vannah is of importance not alone to the
pride, but also to the material welfare of
all of its citizns. it is to their personal
Interest, therefore, to do all they can for
the advancement of the city's general
prosperity.
The Springiield Republican, that usually
very careful and accurate journal, in the
course of some remarks upon negroes
leaving Southern states which, as a
mat tor of fact, they are not doing, makes
the remarkable, discovery that the lynch
insjs which have occurred in Georgia are
responsible for the fact that the cotton
planters Hud they cannot get sufficient ne
gro labor to pick their cotton. The Spring
field Republican has clearly jumped at n
conclusion without knowing anything
about the facts. It seems to be unaware
of the fact that the shortage of cotton
pickers affect* only the southern section
of the state, and that it is due entirely to
the demand for labor on the part of the
naval store sand lumber industries which
are offering higher wages than the farm
ers can afford to pay. The Republican
-hould investigate i little more carefully
before taking snap Judgment.

CT H R ENT COMMFAT.
Speaking of Senator Hanna’s campaign
collections the Philadelphia Record (Bern )
says: “What need has Hanna of all this
money? Gan he put it to any honest use?
The great i>ody of Americans Whose votes
are not for sale cannot be influenced in
their choice of candidates by anything
which money can provide. The most tn
thusiastie and thorough political cam
paigns in our history have been carried
on with infinitely smaller sums than that
which Hanna is collecting. In every com
munity there are partisans enough to
make up any reasonable amount for cam
paign expenses; but Hanna will fling his
corrupting millions into the doubtful
states. No account will be rendered to
■the business men of the disbursement
of this money. Indeed, no Republican
will want to know' what may have been
done with it. The contributors know'
that there can be no honest use for it.”
The Mttsburg Post (Dem.) says: “ ‘The
business man is a great force in politics,’
says Mark Hanna. Not a bit of doubt of
it. That is why he sets aside the consti
tution. derides* the Declaration of Inde
pendence, claiming to be acting in th**
interest of the business man. By the
business man he means the trust com
binations. It is the big business man.
the plutocratic business man- that he
tn* .ins. The ordinary tradesman is of no
account; no more than the American
soldier in the Philippines. But fortunate
ly it happen* that, while the trusts have
the most money for Hanna's candidate,
the ordinary business man has the most
votes for Bryan.”
The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.) says:
“President McKinley of course had the
right to go to the Grand Army encamp
ment or stay away, ns pleased him; but
the veterans should understand that he
wus detained by no great state reason.
Many of the old soldier* are not satisfied

—The magnificent giraffe sent by an
African monarch as a present to Queen
Victoria some time ago proved a costly
passenger to bring over, for Its expense
ran nearly to $2,500. But the sender spar
ed no expense in making the giraffe’s
journey a pleasant one and, with this end
in view, employed a specially prepared
cabin on a large liner. Unfortunately the
passage was stormy and, despite these
precautions, the animal died of seasick
ness as soon as the ship entered port.
—ln the eye of the law', says the Lon
don Mail, a valet is not a man servant.
The question was raised before Sir A. G.
Marten, ot High Wycombe County Court.
Walter Fisher, a valet, sued his employer,
Mr. James Davis, of Bourne End, for £l2
2s. 4d. due to him. and also for a month’s
wages in lieu of notice. The evidence
showed that Fisher, though calling him
a valet, had been expected to wait ut
table. Both he and the judge considered
that his indignant refusal to become a
waiter was justified. Mr. Davis had
thought otherwise and had dismissed his
recalcitrant valet on the spot. But judg
ment was given the valet.
—lt is not often that a dog pays its
own traveling expenses, but a certain sa
gacious animal that has been greatly in
evidence at some of the London music
halls of late draws an enormous salary
and. is, therefore, well able to pay for any
luxuries its master may think fit to or
der, says the Chicago Daily News. It al
ways has a special carriage when travel
ing and rooms at the best hotels in the
same manner that a human being does.
Some of the hotels in the West End
charge as much as $1.25 a day for a dog
of any kind and in the ease under con
sideration the figure is undoubtedly four
times that amount, seeing that the clever
animal has its own rooms.
—Perhaps no animal ever traveled more
luxuriously than did the favorite cat of
an eccentric woman residing in Leicester.
England, a few' years ago. It chanced
that the unfortunate animal became at
tacked by an incurable complaint and, al
though the owner spent large sums with
the veterinary surgeons, the fiat went
forth that she must part with her pet for
ever. Reluctantly she decided to do so
and resolved to sen*! it to London for ex
ecution in the lethal chamber. Anxious
that her cat should be caused as little
pain as possible during the journey, she
engaged a special train to convey it to the
metropolis, much to the amusement of the
railway authorities. However, as their
client paid the price asked, the train was
run and at the other end a carriage was
in wailing to convey pussy to the place
of execution.
—Another step in advance has been
made in the matter of telegraphing with
out wires, says the Philadelphia Record.
A Frenchman, M. Joseph Vallot. who has
charge of the observatory on Mont Blanc,
has been experimenting, together with
two friends, and has proven that Lie
graphic connection can he established be
tween the earth and a balloon, when, in
the latter, there is the necessary apparat
us, without the use of n wire. A bal
