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 ence to he drudrn from this le that he wishes It lo be understood that If Mr. Bryan should be elected effort* would he made at once to overthrow thr gold stand ard.

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.

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 tion would be such a terrible calamity, after all. He gives two reasons for his opt idea.

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.

'But the cigarette# are not In them They have gone." The Duke of York Is. aa everybody knows, a great cigarette smoker. He once said to the Usar of Russia: "A short time ago I had an Idea that cigarettes were bad for me. so 1 determined to limit my self to five smokes a day. The first day I managed to exist on the number I had detetmliwd upon smoking. The second day I smoked all five before lunch and felt miserable during the rest of th* day. The third day I smoked the five Judiciously, but still I felt a great wanting. The fourth day I couldn't sand It any longer, and so etnoked U clsarettes to make up for my self-denial during the other days." The Duke of Edinburgh, on being asked by a fair lady whether he approved of smoking, wittily answered: "M idem. two things I shall never part with—my honor nnd my tobacco pouch " The Prince of Wales has always enjoyed hla smoke.

A pretty miss of about fourteen sum mers nearly broke up a wedding parly al Lin wood a short while ago. aaya the Cincinnati Enquirer. It was about the first wedding that she had ever attend ed. and she felt the Importance of the oc casion very much. Afier the ceremony she noticed that the people went up to 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. Punt Pels's Inspiration. Every visitor to Washington fall* In love with the national library, the splendid structure which feces the United State* Capitol, says the Washington correspond ence of the Chicago Tlmee-Herald. Not long ago the official architect of the French government was here, and be pro ceeded to go Into raptures over the libra ry. *‘lt I* the most magnificent building of its sort in the world." he said, "and I must see the great man who designed It." So he hunted up Paul Pelt—modest, artistic Paul Pels, whose genius flashed forth In the drawings for the finest build ing on the American continent. After pay ing many enthusiastic compliments to Mr. 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 ied In this country." "Then you travel much In Europe—ev ery year a few months, perhaps?" "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.

They r< re not able to agrre. nor to find anyone whose memory was equal lo the task of deciding between them. Finally someone suggraled that they try Chandler, and. sure enough, Senator Chandler was sure he could settle the matter "Walt tl’l I go home to-night and con sult my diary," he said. Next morning he walked Into the Sen ate chamber primed with the very fact his colleagues had had their argument about. "Yes. I've kept a diary' for twenty years," said Senator Chandler, "and I wish I’d k apt one all my life.
