* THE FBKgIORITI AUr3CJ*TABC3C.
The areal lenath of the Preside Ill's let
ter of acceptance will limit the number
of Its readers. It must be that be regards
the outcome of the presidential contest
very doubtful. Otherwise he would not
have made his letter as long aa hie aver
age annual message lo Congrraa. It la
clear that he agrees with the statement
mails In the Democratic national platform,
namely, that Imperialism Is the para
mount Issue, although his campaign man
ager! are Insisting the silver question Is
the paramount leeue. It le worthy of no
tice that he devotee nearly the whole of
hla letter to the Philippine question. He
recognises, apparently. Ihw* Mr Bryan's
speech In response to the committee noti
fying him of his nomination made a pro
found Impression on the country, and he
strives In his letter to counteract Its In
fluence.
It Is true the* he gives the silver ques
tion the place of honor—the Aral place—
but he dismisses It quickly, after pointing
out that tn the platforms of all three of
the parties which have nominated Mr.
Bryan for President great prominence Is
given lo lhe It to l Idea, nnd saying that
Ihe gold standard la safe so long as the
party responsible for the gold standard
legislation remains In power, the Infer

wishes It lo be understood that If Mr.
Bryan should be elected effort* would he

that there we* no danger of It* being

Evidently the President I* trying to alarm

do so lea purt of the tactics of the Re

their campaign.
Tn Prevalent insists that nothing like
Imperialism is contemplated by the Phil
ippine policy of the Republican party,
and tlait the course that has been put
suod In the Philippines Is ibe only wise
one. It In natural of course for him to
lake rhat position. He practically admits
(hat Mr. Bryan has put him on the de
fensive, and he makes the I test presenta
tion of his ebte of the case that, in nil
probnbillty. II Is possible to make. But
when he contend* Dint only a etn ill mi
nority of the Filipinos are in sympathy
with the Insurgents, that the great ma
jority of them-are In fuH sympathy with
the I'ntled Bt.ites. It Is doubtful If the
American people will agree with him. Ho
makes his statement the basis of his argu
ment against the clinrge of Imperialism
and militarism whlrh ha* been brought
against his party. According to his view
the l'nit ad State# have the consent of the
Filipino# to govern them, and that the
adoption of Mr Bryan's policy for dealing
with the Ftllptnns would mean Imperialism
and militarism, because the I'nlted Stales
would have to defend the great majority
of them agwlnst the minority of their I*l
- citizens, and also the entire Filipino
people against foreign Interference To
do that, the President says, would require
a much larger army and navy than will
be ueceseary to firmly establish the au
thority of the United Slate- in the ,Philip
pine# The argument Is rather Ingenious
but not convincing. If only a email mi
nority of Filipino* were against us It
would not require an srmy of £>.041 troops
lo uphold our authority In the Isl
ands. The President has an up-hill Job-
In defending the Philippine policy of hie
pony.
ATTACK INO OI.MBY.
Evidently the Republican manager* re
gard the letter of Mr. Olney, who was
Mr. Cleveland's Secretary of Slate, a*
exceedingly damaging' to their cause
Their nrwspatwr* are skiing what Ibey can
to counteract Its effect. There la not
much they ran say, however, that will
lessen the influence of the totter. Rome
of them seem to think tint* It to not in
tended to assist Mr. Bryan, but la a bid
by Mr. Olney for the nomination of the
Democratic party for President In 1904 -
Ids view being that the Democrat* will
not win in the approorhing election.
It t* true that Mr. Olney says
there arc some things m the Kansas
City platform of which be does no* ap
prove. and that he ie not particularly par
tial to Mr. Bryan, but he prefer* Mr
Bryan to .Mr McKinley, t’nder the head
of McKlnleytom. he group* several things
to which he strongly object*. He ob
jects, far instance, lo such ''class legis
lation as ih* Dingley tariff," to "the pol
icy of greed and contempt for alien peo
ple*. whose retributive consequences are
seen In recent event* tn China, to the ‘‘ra
pacity a* well as folly’’ sbown In the ac
quisition of the Philippines, to the "yield
ing of the Executive to Ibe clamor of spe
'kit Interest*." and to many other thing*
which he enumerate*. Mr. Olney inti
mates that the country has had about
all the McKintoylain K ran aland.
Ilia letter wtll have a marked Influence
with the Gobi Democrat*. Many of them
nave hern hesitating as to the course
they would pursue. An announcement
from Mr. Cleveland of hi* purpose lo
vote for Mr. Uryan. would not nioie
strongly Influence Gold Democrats than
will this letter of Mr. Olney.
The Kansas farmer* have good crops
this year, but they are faced by a trust
which will prevent them from getting the
best returns from their grain. Four hun
dred grain dealers of the state, tt is said,
have • nt< red Into a combination and
agreed upon a schedule of prices to be
paid for corn and wheat. If a farmer un
dertakes to market his crop Independently,
no firm In either Kansas or Kansas City
will dare to do business with him. Il to
estimated that the farmer* of Kansas will
be mulcted for not less than (7,900,000 by
Ih* equerse which the grain men propose
to put on them. The abject lesson tn
truslq will probably have the effect of de
creasing the vote for McKiuley. who to
looked upon as the champion of trusts.
Hututell Huge to softening, politically. He
does not believe that Mr. Bryan's elec

after all. He gives two reasons for his

THE MORNING NEWS MONDAY. SEPTEMBER 10. 1000.
DODGING THE €|t KWTIOK.
On the paramount leeue, that of Im
perialism.th* Republican paper* sndstump
speaker* are dodging the question. For
Instance, the New York Tribune publishes
an editorial article from which the fol
lowing la an extract:
Treat its- Philippines aa we treat
Cuts, saya Mr. Bryan—that Is to say. flfst
give them u stable form of government,
im xt give them independence and Anally
protect them from all oulalde interfer
ence. Thill I* the anti-McKinley formula,
those three things. Hi that order Ob
serve, then. how. Instead of rebuking. It
actually approve* and vindicate* the
President's policy. For the order I* gov
ernment first, and nil else afterward.
That Is the order pursued In Cuba. W*
have been giving thol Island a stable form
•if government for more than a year, and
have not yet given It anythin* else And
no man yet knows exactly what else Is to
he established In Cuba. Thu*, say* Mr.
Bryan, we should do In the Philippines.
But that le exactly what Mr McKinley
la doing and has teen doing lie his sent
civil commissioner* to the Philippines.
Just as he did to Cuba, to confer with
representative Flttptio*. Just as with rep
resentative Cuban.-, for the purpose of es
tablishing n stable form of government tn
the Philippine*. Just as la t’uba. leaving
all else for after settlement, a* ascertain
ed conditions shall Indicate. The paclllca
tton of the Islands, restoration of order
anil establishment of a stable government
are as essential prerequisites to oil else In
the Philippines ns they were in Cuba.
Doe* the Tribune think 11 misleads any
one bv printing auch stuff? It must know
that there Hi nothing In the foregoing that
touches the question at Issue. The ques
tion Is this: The Republican* propose to
hold the Philippines as a permanent pos
session while the Democrat* propose to
make them an Independent country. It may
be true that the President thus far has
dealt with the Filipino* In ctvtl matter*
lust about as he ha* dealt with the Cu
ban*. but there has been no announcement
that the Filipino* shall be free and Inde
pendent. There he* been auch an an
nouncement In respect to the Cuban*.
The Republican party ha* distinctly an
nounced that Be policy was to retain sov
ereignty of the Philippines. It mean* to
hold the Filipinos as subjects or colonists,
and to govern them outside of the con
stitution. Why then should the Tribune
try to crease the Impression that there
Is no ground for assuming that the Fili
pinos are not to be treated differently
from the Cubans?
Il knows very well that It Is not dealing
frankly with Its readers when It prims
such articles as that from which the fore
going l* an extract. The President 1*
much more frank than the Tribune Is. He
has not hesitated to say that the policy of
hi* party In respect to the Filipino# Is dif
ferent from the government's tn repeect
to the Cubans.
9ItITITIO\ Ik SLEEPING CAR*.
A writer In Ibe New York Herald make*
s plea for wanliary reform in the fittings
and furnishing of sleeping cars. He con
tends that tinder existing conditions the
majority of such car* are more or Iras a
menace lo the health of person* who
travel In them. From end lo end they are
upholstered and fitted with mater La I*
which offer the best Imaginable lodging
places for disease germ*. Th* seat* are
covered with heavy plush, which absorbs
dust as a sponge does water, while the
berth* are screened with curtains of a
heavy material which cannot be washed
and thus purified. The Herald's corre
spondent says: ‘The heavy woolen cov
erings at prevent one night cover a con
sumptive, whose exhalitliuis Infect them;
another nb-'ht a catarrh Infected person,
and other nights they cover and Inclose
all sons of contagious and Infectious dis
eases, so that the physically sound occu
pants of these berths often cootract dis
eases from their precedents."
The carpets, too. are a source of dan
ger. It Is a matter almost of Impossibil
ity to prevent expectoration upon them,
.specially by consumptive or cattarh.il
person*. The sputum become, dry and Is
|a>wdered under foot, when It arises In the
form of dust to enter the nostrils and
lungs of other and unsuspecting passen
gers. The Herald's correspondent says,
and with reason, that all bed furnishings
and all curl.mis ought to be of such male,
rial that they could lie thoroughly wash
ed and clransed at the end of every trip,
while the upholstering and the floor cov
ering should be of sotue fibrous substance
which would lend itself to dally disinfec
tion either through the use of eoap and
water or otherwise.
The vigorous dusting of clothes of pas
sengers In the aisle* of the sleeping cars to
another thing that Is objected to It
transpire* often that paseenger* come di
rect from hospitals or sick rooms where
there are cases of typhoid, diphtheria,
scarlet fever or ofher dangerous diseases.
Germs from these diseases may be cling
ing to the clothing, and whisked Into the
air of tbe coach by the nimble brush of
the porter. This latter complaint Is not
as strong a* the ones which precede It,
nevertheless there 1* a good basts for It
to stand upon. With respect to the blan
ket*. the curtains, the upholster.ng and
th* carpets, the objection* are sound, and
ought to havs the attention of (be rail
road or sleeping car authorities.
Information is meager from the storm
swept district of Texas. It to known,
however, that there bus been widespread
disaster, even If the details cannot now
he ascertained. Galveston has probably
suffered cruelly. The wire* uud th*
bridges connecting the city l:h the main
land have been blown uway and It may
be a day or two before communication
can be reopened. Wind severe enough to
destroy the bridges must have been of
sufficient force to do great damage to
lives and properly; hence tt Is well enough
to be prepared to hear a story of distress
and death when Galveston shall com*
again into touch with the outside world.
The storm seem* to have been one of the
worst of recent years. While Huvan -
nah and her neighbor cities of the South
Atlantic coast feel profoundly grateful
that they did not suffer the visitation
which for a lime threatened them, they
will not withhold a full measure of sym
pathy for the leas fortunate Texas com
munities that were ravaged by the Wett
Indian destroyer.
Notwithstanding there arc already some
eight or ten national tickets In the field.
It looks aw It there would have to be an
other one put out. Mr. Edward Atkinson
of Boston to not pleased with any of the
nominations yet made, and there must be
a ticket for which he can vote, of course.
To be OB tho safe side, Mr. Atkinson
might hold a convention of himself, nom
inate himself for President amt Vice Pres
ident, and adopt himself a* a platform.
Then be could vote for himself, sod be

the bride and groom and made remarks
to them. Hhe supposed that they were
words of congratulation or .condolence, or
something of that sort, but her Ideas ol
the proper thing to say under the cir
cumstances were a little vague. Finally
she whispered to an ok! friend of the
family, who was near by:
"What shall I say when I go up there?"
she faltered.
"Oh. Just any thing to show them that
you are glad they are married. Jut
something complimentary, you know."
In a few minute* the little miss had
made her way to where the happy couple
were receiving the congratulations
There was qulle a crowd around, hut she
didn't mind them one bit. She marched
straight up to the bride, and. extending
her hand, said:
"I wish you many happy return* of the
day.”
The remark convulsed everyone In hear
ing. but the little miss left the church
with Ih* consciousness that she had ob
served the proprieties.

forth In the drawings for the finest build

Pels the Frenchman asked:
"Of course you were educated abroad?"
"No. I wee horn In Germany." replied
Pel*, but I came here as a boy and stud

"Then you travel much In Europe—ev

"No I have not been back*to Europe
since I came over, many years ago "
"Where, then." asked the astonished
stranger, "did you gel your Inspiration
for this great creation?"
, "I sucked It out of my paws, like the
bear." was the reply.
