The Indications for to-day are for gen- Willjr fair weather for Hunday and Mon day, with variable wind*, becoming Ugh! to fresh northerly.

BRYAN FAVOR* INIS; SPKHCII. There are two things w> Mr. Bryan’s campaign methods which command She ■ hearty’ approval of everybody. Ona is : that he does not abuse any on* In his speeches and the other Is that he Instate that hla opponents shall have every op I port unity •<> express Ihew views. There ! was never a fairer or franker candidate for Ihw highest office In the gift of th# American people. During his speech at Huron. 8 D., on Friday, reported In our dispatcher, yester day. amp one aald: "Why did Teddy get rotten-egged in Colorado? In answer Mr Bryan said; "Ask those who did It. I might suggest to You that when they threw rotten eggs as me In Chicago, no Republican found fault with It; but my friends, I am going to do better than the Republicans. I am going to find fault wMh any one who Interferes with any man who expresses his opinions on any ques tion In the CnMed State*.” That waa like Mr. Bryan. H want* every man to have a fair chants to say what he thinks on public questions. He Is so confident that th# views he hold# are correct, and for the best Interest of the whole country, that he Is not afraid of having them attacked. On th# contrary, he Invites the fullest dis cussion of them. The Republicans are doing their utmost to make political capital out of th# at tack that was made on Gov. Roosevelt at Victor. Col., a day or two ago. They want to hold th# enllr*' Democratic party responsible for It. They e|>eak of II as an exhibition of th# spirit—the spirit of an arehy—which Mr. Bryan Is stirring up throughout the country. They know very well that the 1 tamaeratto leader# had nothing whatever to do with II; no more than the Republican leader# had to do wHh th# attack Which Yale students mad* on Mr. Bryan at New Haven In the cam paign of 1886. The attack was th# out growth of the spirit of lawlessness which prevails In Victor, which town Is said to h# about th# most lawless one In the state of Colorado. A* a matter of fact. It Is said that th# demonstration waa not against Gov. Roosevelt, hut against Senator Wolcott, who. not very long ago. was a free sil ver mao. and who Is now seeking a re election to the Senate from that atate. Among certain of the Colorado miners there Is a vary bitter feeling against him. because the opinion Is held that he has not been true to those who were mainly Instrumental In having him elected to th* B<*nate. Gov. • Roosevelt did not Mel aggrieved at the riotous demonstration# at the Vic tor meeting Ills friends say that h* en joyed them Immensely, and would Ilk* to have such an exhibition of lawlessness ev ery once In a lust for the fun he would get out of It. It Is certain that the Victor demonstration was no* provoked hy anything that Mr Bryan had evert said. He Is a man of peace and believes In winning political victories by peaceful methods. He uses arguments to gain con verts. not clubs and stones. Till. ml. WRIKK. The understanding is liiat the *rtke of Ihe coal miner* of the anthracite coal re gion of Pennsylvania will be settled with in a very few day*. If. In fart. '•* main points of eettle ment have not been agreed upon already. The fact of tit* set tlement la rue yet public property, but there I* no doubt that the miner* have been offered a very substantial Increase tn compe neat ton. It la true probably that they deserved on Increase, bat It I* doubt ful If they would have obtained |t\ If I hey had not struck In the mliklle of a premtdeullal campaign. Tu He tut tot Hanna Is given the credit of bringing about an understanding lietwren ihe mlnerv and the coal operators. It can not be anWt that he Interested himself In the matter ottt of sympathy for the min ers. He, saw that If the strike should continue It might develop Into a sympa thetic strike, and Include railroad em ploy* as well as workers In other fields of labor. The very general belief I* that the ma jority of wage-earner* are Democrats. The tendency of employes is to vote m opposition to their employers. It I* not easy to explain why this is so. The ma jority of the coal mine operators are Ke. laibltrans—that Is. those of the district in which the strike Is In progress. re - and It is probable that the officers of the coal roads are Republicans. A great sympathetla strike at this time would undoubtedly defeat Mr. McKinley, though It Is probable that If the coal mine**' strike could be confined to Its present limits It would not have much effect on the campaign, even If It should continue until after the election. But it would not remain within Its pres ent limit*, 'tfho chances ore that It would spread over the country, and there would be such vtolenc* as tv mild require the presence of government troops, as was the cose |n Chicago in I*Bl. It la a source of satisfaction that Ihe strike to lo be settled, and the suffering that would leave ensued avoided. The coal miners and their families would not have been the only sufferers. The iwor In all of the great Atlantic coast cities would hove found It dlth i/lt lo get coal at the prices that would have been demanded, iitd there would have been great suffering with the beginning of cold weather. IPVATOK BBVEJUDUK’* VI UPTAKE. In hto speech before the Marquette Club of Chicago the other day. Senator Bev eridge of Indiana, look occasion lo any. speaking for himself, that he thought Congress made a mistake when It prom ised independence to the Cubans. It may bn that a great many men of this coun try. who arr prominent In politic* and business, hold lhat opinion, but was I wtss on the pert of the senator lo say that a mistake had been nuiK, It must not lie forgotten tha: an oplnlon on such a mailer by a Culled State* Senator has far greater weight than a like opinion express**! by n person hokling no position In tha government would have. The Cubans are already very auspicious of this country. The great majority of them arc not yet fully convinced that It Is the purpose of our government to glv them their' Independence. It was because of that suspicion probably that no large a percentage of the delegates to the Con stitutional Convention Is of the revolu tionary element. The people were afraid to trust the conservative business men and property owner*. They selected as dele gates men who had been prominent In the war against Spain The utterance of Senator Beveridge will have the effect of strengthening the sus picion of the Cubans that the I'nltsd ’ States have a plan for cheating them out THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY; SEPTEMBER 30. 1000. lof thetr Independence It wilt make It more difficult fee the I'nlled Btates to g -t *n understanding with the Constl'uilonal Convent ton respecting the relations that ! are to exist between them and Coba, There must be some sort of an under standing. be* ausa th* tinned Slates are pledgral to evlabilsbing a stable govern ment In the Island.

AS ADMISSION OF NUHTMKHN AKLFINHNRM. In the New York Sun of Saturday’s Is sue there la a letter from Alexander R. Dawton of this dly. In which he say# II 1* his Intention to vole for Mr. McKinley. He gives hie reasons for preferring Mr. McKinley lo Mr. Ilryan. In Ihe course of hi* letter he says that a Southerner. "Is not so much for the Democrats as ngnlnsl the Rcpublb-dns. Why? Not be cause h# fears 'social equality.* hut be cause he fear* lo aee even th* entering wedge lo negro domination.” The negro Is unlit to rule. That ass clearly demonstrated during Ih# carpel- Img period. A fear years of negro domi nation in any one of the Southern states would ruin that stale. It would become overwhelmed with debt and property would decline In value until 11 would hard ly be worth hdvlng. Th# Sun prims an editorial art id# In which It undertakes to answer some of th# point* made by Mr. Dawton. In the course of Us article It says: When, therefore. Southern men use Ihe argument that support of Bryim ls neces sary to "while supremacy," Is ll surpris ing that Ihe conservatism of Ihe rest of Ihe Fnton gels an opinion of such suprem acy which is*not flattering? A supremacy, while or black or yellow, which IraperUs every man * p—gxriy Is a barbarous su premacy, according to our notions. As we said Ihe other day. the American people outside of tha old accession Con federacy arc* getting tired of this ever laming negro question, and It* use In Ihe campaign of 1X94 and now again In this campaign as an excuse for assisting ig an assault .on property and the eeckirlfy of business and the etahtllty of society has exausted Ihetr patience utterly. Here we have It slated, as clearly as II Is possible to state It. that the North ha* a poor opinion of the South because the latter will not lend a h#lplng'hand lo defeat Dry an tern, which. In the opinion of the North, means Ihe destruction of prop erty values, but the North knows that If the South w*ra to aban don Us i opposition to Ihe He publirsn party she would be In danger of negro domination, which mrana ihe destruction of her property values. In other wool*, the North, according to the Sun. wants th# South lo open the way to negro domination In Ihe Southern states, and to of tha evils that follow 0. In order that Ihe Northern states may be saved from th# loss of Ihelr properly through Bryan Ism. If that I* not selfish ness pur* and simple ll would be hard to find It. 1,1 vr. *1 VtIM.Y. 1,1 VIC I.o*lll. During the past few day* three very old persons died In Pennsylvania- One was 101 years old. another 104 and the third log. Each of the three was poor, and had never been In better than moderate cir cumstances. Their enrly life had been spent In hard work, and a* their years ad vanced they were cared for by descend ants whose dally labors earned the bread eaten. An Investigator In New Tork whose taste runs to things unusual has for sev eral years been keeping a memorandum of the birthday celebrations, wedding anni versaries and deaths of very old people. Wherever possible he has made a note of their condition in life; how they were off In worldly possession*, and whether they had been accustomed lo Ihe luxuries or only the necessltlea of life. From the data gathered by the Investi gator referred to. It appear* that the ma jority of those person* who live to ap proach nearly to or go beyond the century mark are poor people. A number of them have passed, or are passing, their three ligure years ip Institutions of charity. Noah Baby of New Jersey Is a case In point. He la believed lo be the oldest man In the United States, and Is an Inmate of an almshouse, where he has passed the lasj quarter of a century. His age Is sup posed to be above 115 years. Ruby has never been an abstainer from either whis ky or tobacco, but all of his Ilfs he has subsisted upon simple food. In sometlin* over 100 cases of aged per sons taken note of. more than fffty had lived on an average of less than s3n> a year, while nearly all of the remainder had lived on KO a year or less, the sums mentioned being the income of the family, of from two to four persona, and not of Ihe Individual. The conclusion to he drawn Is tha* the way to live a long time Is lo live simply, to eat plain food, and work hard enough to assure good digestion and sound sleep. A good constitution to begin with la. of course, a prerequisite to Ihe success of the recipe. Thomas H. Lane. poet,artist, author and publisher, died In Elisabeth, N. J , a few days ago.
