An Attack on It Begun by Senator
 Chandler.

WASHINGTON, May e.-Senator Chandler has circulated the following petition on the Republican idle of the chamber:
 "To the Senate Committee on Fi- nances: The undersigned request that in case any bill relating to internal revenue or tariff is considered by the senate at the present session the com mjttee on finance will move and sup port the addition of a clause providing for an adequate duty on wool.''

 It is useless Ito deny that the publi- cation of this series of discriminating ltalegu1ans has put a decided damper upon the efforts of the Boers to lessen the punishment of the prisoners, but lit is said it may depend upon the ac- ition of the Brfltish government to- wards Cecil Rhodes, Alfred Belt, the director of the British South Africa company, who took an important part in or organ.zing the raid and towards the company itself to say nothing of the punishment which may be meted out to Dr. Jameson and his immediate as- sociates
 John Hayes Hammond, the convict ed American engineer will, however be more leniently dealt with than his fellow prisoners, in view of the fact he was opposed ito actual rebellion against the Transvaal authorities.

The Glass Issue.

1T. Louis Republic.
Ono OF the charges most frequently
brought against MIR. Bryan and his
supporters by the republican press is
that they have endeavored to Sc,
class against class; that they have
converted political issue into a
class issue.
No man who has read the several
speeches which MIR. Bryan has de-
livered since his nomination will be-
lisve that there is even a shadow Of
foundation for the accusation. Mr..
Bryan has taken care to appeal to
reason alone. His voice has not
been raised against class or section.
though it has appealed loudly for
equal laws.
Can the same thing be truthiully
said Of his opponents? In the cpl
the.s applied to him and 10 those
who believe in the platform upon
which he stands there is suflicien,
answer TO the question.
Senator Faulkner said recently tina,
he feared the campaign would degen-
crate into a contest between the
masses Of the people and the aggrs-
gate wealth Of the country. Why!
