Hanna of the national committee yes
terday and feels very well satisfied with
the result of the campaign thus far.
He says that Mr.. Hanna reports every
thing in good shape and the work of the
campaign progressing very satisfactor-
lily. Mr.. Babcock says that the congress
sional campaign committee is in daily
receipt of information tending to show
the successful work Of the committee in
sending out literature. He says that
the reports show the people are enxious
to read the documents which are having
good effect in arming Republicans so
that they can meet all arguments Of the
Democrats.
"Our object" he said, "is not so much
to make proselytes in sending out this
literature, but to arm our people SO that
they may be informed and ready in ar
guments.
zone man writes me that he has dis
tributed 300 documents we sent him and

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Senator
Bacon OF Georgia who has Just returned :
from the Pacific coast, was at Demo-
cratic headquarters today. In an inter-
view he said that as the sentiment now
exists in the country Bryan would bs
elected, but that Republicans told him
the sentiment of the people will change
before election. The senator said he
failed to see that the sentiment of the
country through which he passed had
changed. but was inclined to think that
the money which the Republicans are
putting into the campaign will have it's
effect. He did not mean by this, he said.
that voters Will De bought, but that Re-
publicans will get their literature more
largely circulated. will have moro
speakers and will have more and better
informed men at many places who will
be able to defeat the Democrats in argu-
ment. He said he noticed at the stations
and other places where there We're
groups of men talking and arguing the
silver question in every instance that as
a general thing the Republican was
better informed and could array his ar
guments with more effect, and when he

mist he was likely to carry the crowd
with him.
This he attributed to a large circula-
ton of literature, and to the work of the
Republicans who We're posting men ev-
erywhere to be able to argue the ques-
ton. Senator Bacon thought that this
was the only feature wherein the Repub
licans were succeeding, and said he hal
no doubt that all this would be counter
acted by the Democrats.
Some of the silver leaders in Wash
ington are not at all surprised at the
course of events in Idaho, where the
Populists and Democrats have fused
leaving the silver Republicans to flock
by themselves. One who has recently
returned from the west says that the re-
suit is largely due to the course of Sem
ator Dubois in Idaho. Instead of cut
ting loose from the Republican parry
Senator Dubois and his friends went into
the Republican committee and carried it
by one majority, and instead of organ
izing as a silver party, or awaiting fu-
sion, maintained their organization as
Republicans. The Populsts and DEM
ocrats claim that any Republican or

Evidence Tending to Show that Japan Is

MADRID, Aug. 21.-An official dis

to secure Independence from Spain.
According to the official advices twenty

several being Free Masons.
The news has caused great excitement
in Madrid and the police in conse-
quence tonight raided the Hispano Phil
ippine club and seized large quantity
of papers. 1t is suggested by some t
the papers that Japan is endeavoring to
foment trouble in that part of the
Spanish possessions for the purpose of
extending the jurisdiction of her island
empire over the Philippine islands. The
islands lie only about $50 miles south of
the newly acquired Japanese possessions
of Formosa, a unmber of small islands
intervening.
Spain's army in the Philippine islands
is estimated at seven regiments of in
fantry and one of artillery, with a squad
of cavalry, the total effective force being
S64 officers and about 10000 men.
While commenting on the outbreak in
the Philippine islands in the senate to-
day, Senior Castellano. the minister of
the colonies, read several kilograms from
the governor of the islands, Captain
General Blanco. These kilograms were
to the effect that the conspirators aimed
TO secure the complete independence of
the Philippine islands. Senior Montero
Rico declared that the liberal party was
prepared to support all government
measures necessary for the maintenance
of the Spanish integrity. Nearly all of
the opposition leaders in the chamber
made similar promises.

Questions OF the Hour.

John Quincy Adams, when secretary of
state, looked for the end Of Spanish domin.
ion in Cuba within half a century. Edward
Everett, his successor in that Off GO, about
thirty years later, thus wrote to our minis
ter at Madrid concerning SPANS possession
of Cuba and Porto Rico: " Can it be ex-
pected to last very long? Can it resist this
mighty current in the fortunes of the world2
Is it desirable that it should be 80? Can it
be for the interest of Spain to cling to pos
session that can only be maintained by a
garrison of twenty-five or thirty thousand
troops, a powerful naval force, and an an
nual expenditure for both arms of the SER
vice OF at least $l2 900, COOP"
These inquiries have gathered force dur
are of fundamental importance to Spain to-
day. She is employing in Cuba many times
the army of which Mr. Everett spoke, at
many times the cost. An official statement,
made few weeks ago, showed that the
Spanish troops sent to Cuba during twelve
months, or since March g. 1895, had exceeded
100 Co., and adding those already there, we
have "A total OF 110,472. There is also an ex-
ceedingly large force of volunteers in the
island doing garrison duty.
What is the result? Gomez and Maceo
roam almost at will through large part of
the island, destroying the war-making re-
sources OF the Spaniards, appearing even in

more impressive now than ever. Can that

Bane and AntidOte.

The following are interesting as ex-
hibitions of puerile spirit and as illus
trations of low conception of the duty
and province of public journalism:
"The Waterman is helping the Major by
its unjust personal attacks upon him and
attempts to make him out to be a nobody,
without merits or distinction in any calling.
The people of Vermont know better and
fair-mnded men are simply Disguised by
such method of warfare. Free Press.
"The Montpelier Waterman is not ex-
actly heaping abuse upon Mr.. Grout yet it
is doing its best to belittle him. his abilities,
and his career as public man in its efforts
to further the candidature of Mr.. Stickney.
With the exception of the Waterman, the
contest between Mr.. Grout and Mr.. Stick
ney has been generally marked by courtesy
and generosity consequently the words OF
that journal sound discordant and harsh.''

For an antidote to the bane of the
foregoing citations read the subjoined :
