CURRENT COMMENT.

rTIf Mr.. Bryan wants to figure in the
war for private reasons why not do it as
private ?-Chicago Time.Terald.
UOf course it is immaterial to Col.
Bryan whether he goes to Cuba or he
Philippines. Both are on a silver basis.
Chicago Post.
uTIt is not the silver question that oc-
cupies Mr.. Bryan's thoughts now, but
how to harness himself to that sword.
Detroit Free Press GOLD Dem.).
UThe free silver senator's would be
delighted to pay the soldiers and sailors
in Mexican dollars, or, what is the same
thing, in American silver dollars not
kept at the gold level. Anything to de-
base the currency is the cry of these
jingoes for silver.-St. Louis Globe
Dem ocrat.
DThe popocratic war upon the
thrifty is being waged quite as vigor
ously as in 1896. The proposed war rev
enue tax upon corporations is directed
against every man, woman and child
who has n deposit in a savings bank.
Why they should be made to pay tribute
while the individual merchant, manu-
facturer or business man is exempted is
popocratic puzzle most difficult to
solve.-St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.
UWillam ]. Bryan wanted TO be
colonel of Nebraska regiment of vol
unteers. Then he was a candidate for
the captaincy of the company raised at
Lincoln, his home. Now he will not take
it because the choice was rot made
unanimous. William is always great
s,tckler for unanimity when "playing
to the galleries" But whats the mat
ter with being private? William Nc
Kinley enlisted as a private soldier in

grand stand plays.'-Troy Times.
G5'Dewey has been elected an hon
oTary member of the democratic club

! democrat the platform of the club is

MEXICAN DOLLARS.
An object Lesson in Money values
for believers I'm the Bryan
Doctrine.

1t is cmphatically denied that the
United States government has any in
ten ton of paying the troops sent to the
Philippines with Mexican silver dollars.
The story was palbably canard, but
the man responsible for it was evidently
fully aware of the monetary conditions
in Manila, ard he has furnished hint
to enterprising spectators that is like
~ to be acted upon. From present signs
it is probable that the money changers
will be busy when the American troops
reach the Philippines. If the soldiers
are paid in American gold and silver
coin they will exchange it of course fer
other money, and the Mexican dollar,
which is current all throug. the orient,
will become extremely popular. The
Mexican dollar is worth just as much so
far as its intrinsic value is concerned
as the American silver dollar, but one
American dollar will buy two Mexican
dollars, and the purchaser will have
enough left over to buy him glass of
beer at the army canteen.
If the American soldiers intend to
spend their money in the Philippines
they will in reality receive double pay,
providing they are wise enough to ex-
change their Yankee dollars for "greas-
ers," which do not have the credit of
the government behind them. Il is i'm
possible to believe that they will be so
shortsighted as to regard one dollar as
being quite as good as another. This
is practically the Bryan teaching, but
even those men in the expedition that
are most devoted to the silver cause are
likely to realize that there are dol
lars and dollars. 1t will be an object
lesson to many of them which will pos
sess the utmost significance. If, for eX-
ample, the United States mints were to-
day open to the free coinage of sill
yer the American dollar would be worth
ne more than the Mexican dollar, and
in the buying power of their money
these soldiers would receive only half
what will actually be paid them.-Troy
Times.

licans Name a State Ticket.
Minneapolis, Mimi, June 16.-Th'
state conventions of the democrats
populists and silver republicans wer'
held here Wednesday and fusion wa
accomplished by compromise. Th'
middle OF the road element of the
populist party, led by Ignatius Don
nelly. nearly accomplished the bol,
they had planned.
With the populists the friction wa!
so great that the entire day was con
sumed in discussing fusion, the anti
fusionists threatening to leave the
hall. During this discussion Sidne,
Owen administered to lgnatius Don
nelly one of the most scathing ar
raignments that was ever given to
man in public life. He accused him o
being traitor to the peoples part,
for a money consideration and called
him villain. a monster and Wilt
thing. The widest excitement pre-
vailed.
Both the democrats and silver re
publicans indorscd the Chicago plat
form and the candidacy of w. j
Bryan for the presidency. The join
conference committee held a livel,
session and it was agreed to divide th'
Offices to the three parties. allowing
the conventions to make the nomina
tions. John Lind. silver republican
was nominated for governor.

There was a look of great disappointment
on the face of the boy who was coming out
of the front gate. His brother, slightly
younger, but with very aggressive and ten
acious disposition, was conspicuously tat
tered. His garments bore the marks of con-
fiict, but his face showed no signs of remorse.

ANNEXATlONISTS WIN.
The House of Representatives Passes the
Newlands Resolutions What They Pro-
Ia

Washington, June 16.-By a vote OF
209 to 81 the house yesterday adopted
| the Newlands resolutions providing
for the annexation of Hawaii. The de-
bate, which had continued since Sat
urday, was one of the most notable
| of this congress, the proposed annex
alton being considered of great com
! mercial and strategic importance by
its advocates, and being looked upon
By IT'S opponents as involving a radical
departure from the long established
policy of the country and likely to be
followed by the Inauguration of a pro-
nounced policy of colonization, the
abandonment of the Monroe doctrine
and participation in international
wrangles.
From party standpoint the result
was awaited with the keenest inter-
est. The republicans presented prac-
tically unanimous support to the
resolution. But three republicans Vot-
ed i'll opposition. In the democratic
ranks the division was more marked,
IS democrat members voting for an
neNation.
The vote in support of the resolu-
tions was made up of 179 republicans
Is democrats, populists and fusion
lists. The vote against annexation
comprised ~ democrats, 3 republi-
cans, populists and fusionists.
The resolutions adopted recte the
offer of the Hawaiian republic to cede
all of its sovereignty and absolute
title to the government and crown
land and then by resolution accept
the cession and declare the islands
annexed. The resolutions provide for
Il commission of five, at least two of
whom shall be resident Hawaiians, to
recon- mend to congress such legisla-
tion as they may deem advisable. The
public debt of Hawaii, not to exceed
81 900, 900, is assumed Chinese immi-
grafton is prohibited, all treaties with

it is provided that until congress shall
provide for the government of the isl

powers now exercised by the officers
of the existing government shall be
exercised in such manner as the presi-
dent shall direct, and he is given
power to appoint persons to put into

Only ~ -Unitod States NSY.
or Co-opsFatstI with the Inaurg0nts.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-It is prob
able that IL Agoncello and Lopez, the
two representatives Of Agnlnaldo who
arrived yesterday at san Francisco call
at the white house on their way through
Washington to Paris, they viii be ad-
mitted to see President Mckinley, but
only as individuals and not as represen-
tatives Of any government. The Prest-
dent doubtless would be glad 10 hear
any views the Fllipinos might care to
set forth, being fresh from the islands
and thoroughly acquainted with the
wishes OF the insurgents. But it would
be plainly impolitic and inconsistent for
the President at this date and pending
the conclusion OF the peace conference
at Paris. to allow II to be understood
by according a formal reception to the
delegates that he had thereby reeog-
nlzed the Philippine government as an
independent nationality. His attitude
toward the FllIpinos would be similar
70 that assumed by him towards the
Cubans.
AS the F1lIplnoS have repeatedly BY
public declaration sought to convey the
impression that the United States rep
reseRtatlves In Manila have as some
time during the progress Of the war rec
ognised Aguinaldo as an independent
ally and entered into formal co.opera-
tl0n with him 1t may be stated that the
government at Washington ls unaware
that any such thing has happened. Ad-
miral Dewey who was In command OF
all the United States forces during the
most critical period, expressly cabled the
secretary OF war that he had entered
into no formal agreement With Aguin-
aldo. II General Otis followed his in
structiOns, and Of that there can be no
doubt, he also refrained from entering
into any entangllng agreements, As
for Consul General Wildman, any un-
dertaklng he may have assumed with
Aguinaido must have been upon his own
personal and individual responsibility
and would be without formal standing
inasmuch as he had not the express au-
th0rlzation from the state department,
absolutely requisite to negotiations in
such cases. Therefore, as the case now
stands, the peace commissioners are
free to deal with the Philippine problem
at Paris absolutely without restriction
beyond that which might be supposed to
rise from sense ofmoral obligations to
avoid committing the Flllplnos again
into the hands Of their late rulers.

NEW AEARTINsvILLE, W. Va,
Sept 2s.-In spite Of the bad weather.
Congressman Dovener was greeted With
a large audience tonight. His speech
aroused great enthusiasm. which was
in marked contrast to the passlvity Of
Blalr's audience on Tuesday last. Hon.
John W. McIntlre. the chairman, OPEN
ed the meeting in a neat speech, which
put the crowd in receptive mood for
Captain Doveners remarks. The ap-
pearance Of the doughty captain on the
platform was me signal for storm Of
applause, the heartlness OF which must
have been very gratifying to him.
In opening his remarks Captain Dove
ner referred to the proposed Joint de-
bate with his opponent, Mr.. Blair, but
which was declined by that gentleman.
In commenting on Biairs speech made
here Tuesday night, Captain DoVener
said he proposed to show that there
were some iBSueB in this campaign.
Thank God" said the speaker II be-
long TO a party that has i8sues. We
believe in protection, sound money and
alt that encourages business prosper
lty. In the campaign Of 1883 there was
8 party that believed In free silver.
Republicans believe IN l00-cent dol
lar, You'll remember, gentlemen, who
got up In the Chicago convention ana
claimed to stand for the laboring man.
We stand for the laboring man also,
but for all that he does we want him
paid IN 109-cent dollars"
I'VE are also in favor Of tariH to
protect American industry and AmeTi-
can labor"
Mr.. Blair claimed that the Demo-
cratic administrations were most pros
porous, but Captain Dovener showed
wherein Blair was wrong by referring
to several Republicans admlnistratl lions
and comparing them with Democratic
regimes.
The protective tariff laws passed by
the Republican congresses were then
discussed at length, and the prosperity
OF the country under their benign intlu-
ence was shown In comparison with the
depressing effect OF the Wilson blu. In
this connection Captain Dovener paid
particular attention to the farming In
terests, and explained the benefits that
had accrued 10 husbandry under the
fostering care OF the Republican party.
After touching on the money ques-
tIon, the speaker called attention to th9
good work done by the rivers and hsE-
bors committee OF the late Congress, OF
which committee Captain Dovener was
distinguished and hard working mem
ber. The waterways OF West Virginia
are now being improved under the bill
passed, which will enable West Virgin
ians to compete with outside markets
When Captain DoyeneT Eeccunted the
achievements OF the Republican party,
and what had been accomplished by the
war with Spain, his audience was spell
bound by the recital, and at his con-
clusion was repeatedly applauded. In
closing he said: II am proud Of the
Republican party. am proud OF my
country. am proud Of my party be-
