TIE regularly nominated ticket Of his
party LIN other words. that he voted
the BRYAN free silver ticket in 1906
We have dwelt thus at length upon
the case Of Mr. Denny because it
marks decidedly the highest point to
which the claims of any Of the Demo
cratic Congressional candidates can
60. Taken even at their face value.
the promises OF these candidates can
amount to very little; for, ready as
they may be to abandon the issue
which, only two years ago. was pro-
claimed as worthy OF the most com
plete devotion. they are nevertheless
not at liberty to come out hat-iooted
against the silver doctrine, still less
to pronounce the dreaded words gold
standard. But the real value of the
declarations of the candidates for the
actual good of the country is infinitely
less even than their face value. For
the real thing that is going to count
in the prospects for the settlement of
the currency question is the political
complexion of the two Houses Of Con-
gress, not the exact shade of opinion
held by gently dissenting Democrats.
As Mr. McIntire we'll pointed out in
his letter Of acceptance. there is de
cided possibility that in the new Con-
gress the Senate will be Republican,
and there is no question that in that
case, with strongly Republican
House, most hopeful movement
would be made for the ending of the
country's currency troubles. and the
placing of our National finance upon
a footing as solid as that of Great
Britain or Germany. A Democratic
House would put this absolutely out
of the question; and any Democrat
other than one elected OH an uncom-
promising gold standard platform
would help to make a Democratic
House just as truly as though he
were a rabid silver man.
Maryland has done such splendid
and telling work for the cause of
sound money that she must not ialter
now. Fortunately, in our state, the
election is for Congressman only. so
that local issues are wholly eliminat-
ed from it; and the old line Democrats
who had the courage to break away
from the traditions of a lifetime and
vote for the sound. money candidates
for President and Congress two years
ago have nothing to prevent them
from standing by their work and vot-
ing for sound money congressman
next month.
They have only to look the situa-
ton squarely in the face, and they
will see that the duty which dictated
their course in 1896 calls for the same
conduct in 1898. They have but to
fix their minds upon the consequences
of a victory of the party which. Ma
tionally, still stands for the free-silver
doctrine adopted at Chicago, in order
to see the clear necessity OF keeping
Maryland true to her record of no CON-
promise on the paramount issue of f.
nancial soundness. Baltimore News.

He-Why not, sweetheart?

Of food General Wheeler admitted that

Ten men who were not very i'll preferred
not to go to the hospital as it was

them.
Some time was spent on the charge
that General Wheeler had said General
Eagan, chief of commissary and sub
sistence, countermanded an order of
his for supplies. This occurred, he said,
but it was due to misconstructon of
general orders
General Wheeler said it was true many
soldiers would fall on the streets. but he
thought all were weak by their expert
ence In Cuba, and most of them had
germs of fever in them.
''The fact is,' said the general. ''the

cheating the government. He was not
entirely recovered from the effects Of a

He said, in speaking OF the division of

the proportions would be $4,000 to Ad-
miral Sampson, as against $500 to Cap
tain Clarke and SIS to officers of his own
rank, not those as the amounts to be re-

been influenced by that feeling. Wit

the Dons.

New York, Oct. 5.--A special to the
Herald from Washington says: AS re-
suit of consultation today between the
president and Secretaries Hay and
Long, fresh instructions regarding the
Philippines have been wired to till
American commissioners ataParis. '@e
1t was sscrtalned that the program
Of the commission requires the disposi-
ton of the United States affecting the
Philippines before any other questions
are considered. The president has been
informed that General Merritt favors
the retention of all the islands. Fresh
instructions do not affect the demand
for the Island of Luzon and revisionary
rights over the remainder Of the graup.
They relate more to matter of detail and
are intended to equip the American
commissioners In case they should raise
the point in reply to a formal demand
presented by Mr. Day. This reply is ex-
pected Friday. The adjournment of the
commission for such short time is re-
garded by Mr.. Day and the administra-
ton as indicating the commissions
work will soon be completed
1t is recognized that the Philippines
will be the bone of contention Once
they are out of the way it will be plain
sailing in the matter of arranging for
the cession of Guam, Cuba, Puerto Rico
and the remaining Spanish West Indies
to the United States. Mr.. Day is en-
powered, however, to interrupt the COM
missions work at any time in case he
should find Spain either unwilling to
agree to the demands Of this govern
ment or disposed to unnecessarily delay
the commissions work, and demon
stration will follow which the authorities
are satisfied will bring the Madrid gov
ernment to it's senses. Senior Felipo
Agoncillo, representative of insurgents
commanded by Aguinaldo, will be per-
mitted to lay before the commission any
facts he may desire to present and the

conference with Major General Merritt,
and practically concluded an extended
canvass of the Philippine situation. The
members refused to disclose the views Of
General Merritt or Admiral Dewey re-
garding the policy to be pursued toward
the Philippine people.
1t has developed that Admiral Dewey
handed General Merritt communica-
tion setting forth his Judgment AZ to the
Philippines, and the general submitted
this to the commission with the reports
from American military officers at Ma
nila touching on the condition provail-
ing In the islands.
General Merritt concluded with the
declaration that his hope was that the
United States commission would press
for the acquisition Of the Philippine

30 years, and he owned one of the best
