If they would vet a lor him tt>ey would Iw
rewarded with he ter ofTß'ft than they

hut that there i no longer any reaaon
why they should ftel under to

and judgment.

ing every fair moutu to get that vote. ll*-
that there Ir great dlraatla

the negroes of the .North, with the treat

letter* and Interviews of ItUhop Turner
of this elate The negruc* do not think
Mr. .McKinley haa done what he could to
ruppree* the lynching of negroee In the
South.
Hut It ahou.d be troll* e l that Mr. Rryun
h mn made no prom lees to appoint negroes
to office and he han not nai l In any of
hi* speeches that ho would appoint them
in the event *f h:a election, even If It
should be shown that th**y contributed
largely to hi# success f>n several occa
sions recently he has been a*kd whether
approved the diifranchlrement of ne
and he hae raid nothing from which the
negroes couid draw that they
would receive greater consideration than
they are receiving from the Republh ana
In the event of hla reaching the presi
dency.
Mr. Bryan holds out no hope to the
negroes that under n Democrat Sc admin
istration they would get greater r*’ogT)l
tl>n In the matter of offices. He Is doing
nothing more than trying to make ne
groes w ho are with the Repub
lican party understand that tlieir obliga
tions to that part> have heen discharged
und that they are now free to vote the
Democratic ticket. If It were hi* purpose
to reward negroes for voilng for him he
would not heaPate to say so--;it least, a
fair Inference from his record I* that he
would not.

SuiKlty'i Oil -ago Record ha* a signed
artlrb* by Mr Bryan. In which ha makes
a vary strong defense of hi* position on
<h Philippine question There I* nothing
new in this article, hut the aritl-lmpor
lalistlc argument* wliich he hits used in
hi* various speeches are clothed in anew
dress, and are made to up|>ear more at
tractive*
There Is one point In thin article that
should receive more than a paoing no
tice. It la being charg’d against Mr.
liryan ail the time by Republican stump
speaker* and hewspapor* that he le us
much responsible for the p wsrlort of the
Philippine* by ttio United States as Pres
Went McKinley, because he Insisted that
the treaty, by which the Islands became
the territory of the United States, should
be ratified. II Is admitted that he favored
the Hartm revolution, which provided that
the Filipino* should he dealt with a* It
wos proposed to deal with the Uulmns,
hut It Is pointed cut that he insisted u|> n
the ratllt alien of Ihe treaty after th-
Ilacon resolution was defeated, and that
If It had not been for him th-- islands
would not now be a possession of the
United Htate-.
On this point Mr Bryan In his Chicago
Record article says:
The ratification of Ihe treaty. Instead
of commuting the United rMa ea to a col
onial policy, pally clear* the way for the
rccognltion of a Philippine Republic Lin
coln, in hit first Inaugural mes-age, con
densed an ut answerable argument Into
u brief question when he asked, “fan
alien* moke treaties easier than friend*
can make laws?" The same argument I*
presented In the question. "Could the In
dependence of the Filipinos be* secured
more easily by dlplt mscy from a forelat)
and hostile nation than It can through
laws parsed by Congress and voicing the
sentiments of the American people alontv?"
If Independence Is more desirable to
our people thur. a colonial policy, who is
there, or what Is there, to prevent the
recognition of Philippine Independent e? It
Is absuril to say that the United Stans

uti empire without consulting the voter*.

to th<> FI 11 t*l nos'the right to govern them

tion
According to the foregoing. It was Mr

foreseen what trouble It would he to

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY; OCTOBER 3. 1900.
NO INfRE ASE IN THE fTIY®ATD.
It la worthy of notice that a tbo co *’
ton advances there la no Increase
in the estimates of the rige of the cotton
crop On the contrary, the disposition I*
i to reduce the eatimates.
It 1* a fact that In many of this
state the outlook for even a half crop la
very far from promising The weather,
during Bcptember was not favorabla
to me crop In rom* loralitlea there ha*
b n too mu< h rln and In other* ttw-ra

one of them do them com* encouriglpg
repot is. That being the case, la It not a
fair conclusion that the conservative es
timate made early In the season, namely.
9 hales 1* altogether too high? Does
U not begin to look as if the c;op would
not reach I.OOo.Qtt bale*?
Hy many It waa thought that the price
of cotton would drop below 10 cent* a
pound by tha end of ■* ptemher. and re
main below that prk e for a very const lar
ibio part of the season It has not drop
ped. On the contrary. It ho* naan, and It
would not be surprising If It should con
tinue to rii.
The com on crop experts have a pretty
fair opinion of what the volume ol the
crop will be. end the spinner* have been
lnform*<l of this opinion. That l —hy the
price of cotton !■ rem.tlnln o tlrm. The
apinner* of Europe who closul their mill.

would pile up In tlt warehou*#* and the
price would drop are hecotnlna alarmed.

ami will be so ea.er to buy that they wIM

wise s|Anners are those who have bought
all the cotton they could and ate tsklng

The situation In Chins 1* not going to
have as great an effect on the co'ton mar

ego The exports of cotton goods to that
country may be cut down somewhat, hut
not enough to materially affect the de

If Aklrrmnn Dixon's ordinance should
also call for the changing of the name* of
such slant connecting street* as Pino,
Harrison. Margaret. William, New. etc.,
to Congress, Slate. York. Oglethorpe av
enue. Mull. etc., of which they are merely
•-xtinalons, It wou.d *<lll further elratghtcn
out and simplify the street division* and
nomenclature. An Improvement similar to
the one suggcsled was made when Joachim
street, which was an ex'enslon of lln>,
was given the nan* of the latter, and
when Chnal street went out of existence
and River street took ll* place. Zubly
street, which run* west from Broughton,
might well lie railed by the latter name.
Indeed, the city map shows a number of
such change* which might be made, with
the rrsull of more clearly Identifying the
location of Ihe street*, and thus Increasing
the value of properly situated upon them.
For It Is a fact that properly upon a well
known street I* worth more than It would
lav upon a street seldom heard of. even
though the latter were merely a continu
ation of ihe former.
That portion of the city In which Mar
garet Bnd William stieets are located waa
once a suburb, nisi was known as Kwens
vllle, and Ihe streets were named alter
William Kwen and hi* wife Margaret, who
owned Ihe properly. There Is no gool
reason h> the*, streets should not now
te renamed to correspond with Ihe street*
In the main portion of the city of which
they are continuations Indeed, the names
should have b*en changed long ago.

She declared that she would have the

by an ll.lterate Dane, who sold foreign
tops, notions and dry goods such a*
might please (he Chinese or he ot use to
the #< any European population of the
capital. By chance, some eunuchs from
the Imperial palace bought toys In this
shop for Hu Infant Majesty.
"As the tiaby Emperor grew, the busi
ness of the Dane shopkeeper Increased.
Ills stock became larger and mote varied
Ansi She Emperor remained a profitable
customer. Musi, al cats, dogs and siieep,
horns, guns, trains of curs, striking
clocks and Swine watches *ll were
bought In turn by eunuchs from the pal
ace As the Ernpeior grew to boyhood
the Danish shopkeeper supplied toy* suit
able to his year* from h* inexhaustible
shelve* To understand how searching an
Influence three produce# of far-distant
lands must have hail on the growing mind
of the Emperor, you must know mat he
was shut out from the world, shut out
even from his own people, by three strong
walls. He never left the Forbidden City
excepe m a closed chair or in a < losed
cart.* Every side street was barred from
h:m by hanging canvas of mivs. He was
a prisoner and slave In the palace of his
bin bright.
"If custom forbade his going out to see
the world. It did not prevent the world
from reaidilng him In the shape of wares
sold by the Dane In I-eg.iMon street These
were no longer toys, although such they
seemed to the Emperor. An electric rail
road was built for him in the palace
grounds, on which he rode as our children
ride on merry-go-rounds. For him an
electric plant was built In the Forbidden
City, and the palace was lighted with
Incandescent lump*. He experimented
with min.ature telegraph and telephone in
strument* off! ials that sough Imperial
favor scoured the port cttles to find new
toys for HI- Majesty. They came fo Fe

must? boxes, aeollnna and mignlAcent
clocks that s:rurk the hours with music
or with the song of birds All the re
sources of roojern Invention in the West
were tapped to procure toy* for the Em
peror Kuang lisu. Once the assiduous
Danish shopkeeper ha.l t sleigh made for
him In Europe, The slelgli was a marvel
of Ingenuity with it# foot-warmers, mir
rors. docks, cushions of yellow silk and
figureheads In the s.iupo of golden drag

"As the hoy grew older his taste#
i hanged There were elenr Indl- allots*
of mental growth as the years advanced
lie began lo wish lo know the llbiature
of the countries that produced the fairy
toys and wonderful del in * of his boyhood
pleasure*. He had two teachers apiint
ed to Instruct him In F.ngltsh. fine of
these teachers was the grandfather of n
young man to whom I had taught English
In return for lessona in Chinese. In liii*
wav I learn*-! much of what was going on
In the rec ~s of the palace. I wis In
formed by (hose who had been Into th*
Emperor's private apartment* that they
wete more like n museum, than like liv
ing room-, so crowded were they with
complicated mechanism- arsl toys."
Kwang Hu a spoiled Child,
""'hen Kwang Hsu was a young man 1
wn* depositary of the North China Tract
Society and librarian of the Fekln Univer
sity. For some weeks a eunuch from the
pa Ice came every day to secure a book.
Nor would he he pin off without one.
Something must be given to him. were It
only a leaflet on a religious topic. At las',
were were forced to take the Chinese nod
ical hook* from tny wife's private library
to satisfy him.
"The Emperor gralually made a study
of all kind* of religious book*, hooks on
chemistry, pliysies. nvdtclnr, the science
of government, international law. political
economy, mental and moral science, as
tronomy. physiology, mathematics—all
hooks. In fine, (hat had been prepared or
translated Into the Chinese language on
subjects relating to foreign science. It
began to be rumored among the Chinese
that Wan Hill, lO.ftM year# (the Chinese
way of speaking of the Emperor), wa*
going to become a Christian.
"The child tmd become a man. a self
made, self-educated man. Never did any
one secure a liberal education under mor.
difficult circumstances. Hhut off from all
the world, he learned about all ihe world.
Horn In the most conservative of empires,
confined In she palace with two fogylsli
old women, without any examples of lib
eralism among his ancestors, and without
guldince stive his own. he became Ihe
mainstay of the Liberal party of his coun
try.
"Vet H must not be supposed from
what I have said thus far of 111 st Majesty
shat because he was studying Christian
hooks ho was therefore becoming a Chris
tian. The Chinese did report that hr play
ed at Christianity with the eunuchs,
standing them up In classes and catechis
ing them from the books he had read. As
for Instance: #
" '"'hat god* do you worship?"*
" 'I worship Buddha ‘
" 'No, you don's. ‘
" 'Oh, no! 1 worship Jesus and the God
of Heaven.’
“ ’Correct.’
"But It takes more than the mere read
ing of books and a bias In favor of Chris
tianity to make a Christian Asa matter
of fact, the Chinese idea of the Emperor
I# that he Is nothing but a spoiled child.
They used lo say: "The Empress Dowager
ought to take him over her knee nnd
spank him. It Is told of him that one.
when he did not get what he wanted he
grabbed fine Swiss watch from a table
In his rage, dashed it to the floor nnd
#t tmped It Into smllhmen*
"On another occasion the Emperor had
ordered several of his eunuch* to come to
him. Only one of them put In an ap
pearance As <he eunuch prostrated him
self to kotow, the Emperor, In n frenzy of
vexation, kicked his slave In the mouth
The man who told me of this Incident gns
his Information direct, and exclaimed af--
cr h** had related It to me*
" '"'ha' kind of a man Is that to gov
ern a country?'
“Hpolled child Kw.tnr Hsu Is. without
douht, and he I- by- no means a Christian,
yet he Is the only hope of Chinamen to
day.”
