very lew Chinese knew that China had been licked by Japan and com pelled to pay S2OO,0OO,0O0 war ir- demnity. Still there are people who do not appreciate living in the United States.
 An exchange states that Sl00OOO has been contributed to the Bryan campaign fund by silver mine owner Dave Moffst, of Colorado, The aforesaid exchange has been led into error. The JoURNAL-MINIR has it from excellent authority, from one of the parties engaged in raising the Bryan campaign fund, that MT. Moffat's first offer was Sl0O,0O0. but when 1t come to a show down he dropped the cipher on the extreme right of the aforesaid num- Der.
 l. T. Stoddard has received word from an old time friend in Bing- hampton, New York, q man who Ss a boy went to school with MT. Stoddard, and a man who has been an active and life long democrat, who says that he will not only vote for Mckinley but that from now until election day he will be found stumping the state for him. Such patriotic words coming from a life long democrat are indeed encour- aging"
 While shouting in one breath that this is fight between capital and labor, of the poor against the rich, of the people against the mon eyed power, etc, etc, in the next breath our democratic brethren shout all manner of apologies for the president of the ship builders trust. the banker, railroad magnAts and millionaire, who is their candi- date for vice president. It is mighty hard work for them to get their assertions and their apologies to dovetail together.
 Hon. K. C. Kerens, who keeps pretty we'll posted on Missouri politics, says that the republican party in that state, IS united and determined to win. The demo crsts," he says, "are hopelessly split, and with three parties in the field, We are going to succeed and we ought 10 succeed. The democrats have held the administration of Missouri for thirty years, nearly 8 third of 6 century, and it is time for a change
 One would think that the demo cratic party would have learned some wisdom from its experience of two years ago, when Mir. Heary worked of plank in their platform personally attacking N. O. Murphy, the republican candidate for dele gate to congress, and which acted as a boomerang against their can didate, and that before adopting similar tactics they would be sure of their ground. But despite that they permitted :hem- selves to be led into a trap again, this time by a populist, and they again find themselves in trouble. The law which they denounce MT. Murphy for having had enacted was introduced by a democratic United States senator, Stephen NJ. White of California; he was backed up in 1t by a memorial passed by the Arizona legislature and intro iuced by a democratic councilman, E. J. Edwards. 1t passed both houses with but one dissenting -ote. the democratic member from his county, Hon. C.. W. Hull, who 1 s a candidate for reelection having ,ither voted for it or refrained from | -oting at all, according to the 'ecords.
 The democratic convention will | neet in Williams Thursday, Septem- ,er l7. W. A. Rowe, who has been | actively at work for several weeks las succeeded m overcoming all | objections to him in the Ysvapai and will go to Williams with its solid and united support. | is also stated that he has secured pledges of support from the dele -ations of every nuoThern county. lima county, with her eleven votes Eill also come to the convention, lot pledged, but reasonably certain O support Mir. Rowe. This will i've him enough votes, lacking two, O secure the nomination and these wo can be safely relied on from ther counties, so that it is now assured that Mir Rowe i'll be the democratic nominee. A -eek or ten days ago Mark Smiths tar seemed iu the ascendency, but he democratic political horizon as changed. The nomination, hough, amounts to but little as It IS xtremely doubtful if either MT. lowe or MT. Smith can be elected, nd by sacrificing Mir. Smith in the and defeating Mir. Rowe | the polls democracy will shelve NO men who are in the way of ther ambitious politicians.
