JONES AS AN EXAMPLE.

Mayor Jones of Toledo, is aston
lshing the politicians in Ohio. Mr..
Creelman S interesting account of
his canvass, published in ycster-
days Journal, indicates n possibil-
ity that the election returns may be
as sensational rs they were after
his last campaign for the Mayoralty.
Mr.. Jones sets good example
to millionaires and poor men alike.
Consider these remarks of his to
Mr.. Creelman:
Look ut that big house. What
fool man is to waste his money
and energy III piling up residence
like that II will make slave of
his wife, They would be happier
in q smaller house. | made the
same mistake myself AS we go
on will show you the little
houses of the people who had to
pay for that big house. Just no.
tice that as the houses grow small
or, the number of children increas-
es. God bless them! They at
least don't make distinctions be-
tween n rich man and u poor man.
The only real democracy in the
world is the democracy of children.
A man without the capacity or
the industry to earn dollar, pass
ing by the house might have said
"The cormorant that lives in there
is robbing me. His place ought to
be burned down. But Mr.. Jones
who has known both poverty and
wealth, who has helped to make
life easier for hundreds of working
men, and who knows the common
human nature that is in all men
merely says: "Poor fellow, he
knows no better. ! made the same
myself once"
The Jones platform of the
Golden rule may or may not win in
politics, but it is an admirable
modus vivendi for everyday life.

Mckinley's Reputation Of the People as
the Source Of Government.

Chicago, H., Oct. 15.-William
Jennings Bryan to-day took issue
with President McKinley's declara-
ton, made at Minneapolis, that the
United States ought to retain the
Philippine Islands. He charged
the President with having repudi-
ated the source of government as
described and gave out the follow
ing interview on the subject;
president Mckinley in his
speech at Minneapolis stated that
he believed the United States
should permanently retain the
Philippine Islands, and, in the
course of that speech, he repudi-
ated the source OF government as
described in the Declaration of
Independence. Near the close of
this part Of the address, this
sentence occurs: Il feel assured
that Congress will provide for them
(meaning the Philippine Islands)
Il government which will bring them
blessings, which will promote their
material interests as well as ad-
vance their people in the paths of
and intelligence.
"If we change the word Con
gress to Parliament " Mr.. Bryan
went on, "and philippines to
colonies, the reconstructed SEN
tence would exactly express the
sentiments of King George in
Revolutionary days. Again, if we
substitute the word Cortes' for
Congress-, and the word Cuba
for Philippines that sentence
would express the sentiment Of the
Spanish monarch when we inter
fered to put IN end to centuries of |
oppression and tyranny. Every
king, every emperor, every despot
believes that he and
his government will provide for
his subjects government that will
bring them blessings, promote
heir material interests and ad-
vance them in the paths of civil
zation and intelligence Most of
,he kings emperors and despots
nave asserted that they feel under
livine obligations to provide for
he blessings, etc, of their subjects.
The Declaration of Independence,
however, asserts that the people
reed not depend upon the benev-
'lence of foreign king, emperor,
'r despot-and it might have added
Congress or the President-fOr the
blessings of good government.
Governments derive their just
,ower from the consent Of the
and from no other
ource. The Presidents speech
marks an epoch in history. 1t is
he first ever made by an American
President that repudiates the peo-
lie as the source of government.
Whether in this abandonment Of
he principles of the Declaration of
Independence he voices the senti-
nents of the American people re-
mains to be seen. As he says,
congress is the servant Of the
'eople. If Congress attempts to
epeal the Declaration of Independ-
nee, the people will have chance
0 repudiate its action in 1900"
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan left for
'airo. Mr.. Bryan will make
ighteen speeches in Kentucky and
ixteen in Ohio.

CHANGE IN THE ISSUE.
ping Of the Mask by the
Gold Men,

There is only one change that can be
made in the issue for 1900. That is the
dropping of the mask by the gold men.
In state after state the republican
party is repudiating the St. Louis plat
form, abandoning all pretense of favor
ing bimetallism, and declaring broadly
for the gold standard. That, of course,
is what the leaders really meant in
1896, but they disguised the fact and
deceived many honest men. 1t is now
clear just where the party organization
stands. It. is practical certainty that
if France and India were to signify their
willingness to join us in an agreement
for the restoration of silver, the repub-
ican party would not accept. We
never believed that it would, that is,
since the election of Mckinley. If the
British government had agreed to open
the Indian mint, and France had agreed
to open hers, we do not believe that Mr..
Mckinley would have accepted the prop
osition. The influences behind him
would not have allowed it. The claim
would Immediately have been made
that the United States, France and In
dia would not make a sufficiently strong
combination. If all of Europe had
agreed, excepting only England, it
would still have been insisted that BIZ
betallism could not be safely under
taken. The administration is abso-
.utely committed to the gold standard
and the probability is that in 1900 there
will be no effort at disguise. The only
change of issue will be in. its greater
elearness and certainty.
