SINGLE TAKERS FOR BRYAN.
One of Them Explains Why This is
So.

A Washington man who is prominent in
the ranks Of the single takers. takes excep-
ton to the published statement IN The
Star of Wednesday that the strength
of the believers in that doctrine
of finance would be thrown to Mckinley.
He said today:
Nothing could be more erroneous. We
sirgle takers realize as 40 one else seems
to do that the evils OF society are not due
to any question Of finance but brought
about by a far more potent factor, the
monopoly of natural opportunities. How
ever, there is positively no question but
that 90 per cent of the single TAKERS both
in and out of Delaware, and there are
thousands CT them, are for Bryan. Not
because Bryan Is for free silver, but be-
carse his election means the breaking Up
of old political lines. Single takers are for
a change of system more than of men.
THAT the single takers are for Bryan wit
ness the declarations OF Henry George
VIM. Lloyd Garrison, Congressman Ma
guire, ex-Representatives Tom johnson and
Jerry Simpson. Those whom We are
pleased to term single takers unlimited are
rEequivocally for absolute free trade,
Which Is nothing more than mare natural
trade, and to think for a moment of their
voting for the high priest of protection is
worse than absurd. AS to the specific case
of Delaware. There the single takers are
as strong as either Of the old parties. and
could easily poll a third of the vote of the
state. Almost to a man they favor Bryan,
not for silver's sake, but for the reason
have stated. If the single tax men vote
with Addicks II will be merely because the
Addicks candidates fer legislators are
pledged to support single tax amendment
and for no other reason. The single takers
are not seeking office. but rather the more
laudable purpose of freeing Delaware from
the evil of land monopoly. Addicks is
Senate, and compared with this Mckinley
electors in Delaware are to him Of no i'm
pcrtance whatever. So that the question
Of Addicks and the single takers voting
for Bryan is not at all relevant. The
single takers will vote for no man for a
member ct the Delaware legislature who
is not pledged to support their measure,
Tut irrespective Of Addicks they will vote
for Bryan I say this not to cri:icise The
Star. but to put the single takers in a
prerer light before your readers.'

When Ii Hung Chang came out of the

to his suite he said several times: Very

He criticised the Canadian tax on China.

Irish rule the United States and do not like
Cinnamon. He criticised a high protective
tariff. saying he was free trader.
What do you think of the evolution the
ory?' he was asked.
Il do not believe in evolution. l do not
believe that We are descended from apes.
You cannot educate an ape, but you can
educate the red INDIAN
Asked as to whether he believed in the
doctrine of the survival Of the fttest. the
reply came promptly: Il do
do you believe the Chinese are the fit-

''The Chinese will survive" replied the
envoy, 'and hold their place among the

your modern civilization is the best What
is good in this modern civilization the Chi

1t will not take longer. But when China
absorbs it there will be no CLOSING over.
It will not be superficial civilization"
Asked as to whether China would soon
recover from the effects of the late war
with Japan, the viceroy said:
China has already recovered. The wound
was only skin Deep"
At this point Sir Lo Feng Luh broke in
to say: China lost nothing by the war.
Japan gained nothing by 1t, for Japan is
now at the bidding and command Of Rus

Ii Hung Chang was then asked: .'Is IT
not likely that in the future China will

To this he answered: "China is China-a

The Coming Reunion.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The reunion Of the blue and the gray,
the program of which was published in
The Star Of the 9th instant, ought to be a
great day in the history Of Washington.
1t is, believe, the first of the kind since
the war. When :he veterans of the Phila-
delphia Brigade arrive here in the capital
of the Union all Washington ought to re-
ceive them, and "Old Glory" should wave
from every house. No doubt the confed-
crates in the city will take proper meas
ures to do honor to the occasion, but the
United States government should also give
its support to such a movement. Let us
have a holiday and a great time generally.
The time Is coming when the boys who
wore the blue and those who wore the gray
will meet here in a great reunion. and the
meeting here on the 10Th instant will be
the skirmish line Of the veterans who are
to follow. EN-CONFED.

HANDCART EXPERIENCE.

One of Mrs. Wilson's sons was
married and had family of his own.
Her two sons and some others went
back to look for the missing lady
and continued their search until late
at night without finding her. Next
morning quite number went back
to look for her and Camp laid over
again that day, making good use of
the time, washing their clothes.
Toward evening the searchers re-
turned without obtaining any tidings
of sister Wilson, and she had not
returned to where we met the small
company travelling east, but they
found pair of old shoes set by side
of the road and her sons said they
belonged to their mother. SO the
two sons and those who were with
them, came to the conclusion that
she had gone back with that COM
pany, and had set the old shoes
beside the road that they might be
found and thus her family would
know she had gone back. This
was the report that the searChers
gave.
We now continued our Journey,
and travelled for three days, and near
the close of the third day we found
Sister Wilson sitting beside the road
with her shoes on, patiently awaiting
our arrival.

coming at the rate of perhaps
thirty or forty miles an hour, and
