To fail to meet

solutely necessary. To fail to meet
any emergency of foreign hostility
would be. an invitation for foreign
attack. The people of the United
States can no longer afford to live
in fools paradise.
Times Democrat: The meetin 1,
and the proceedings of the Rich
mond conference will be watched
with the keenest interest throughout
the whole Union; for there is no
denying that, in recent years, the
election of United States senators
by the Legislatures of the States
has come to be regarded in many
instances as public scandal. Ex-
plain it as we may, it is an unde-
niable fact that the upper house of
Congress is gradually being packed
with millionaires; and that, in the
case of a majority of the present
Senators, it is their wealth that has
sent them there, and not their
merit. It is absurd to suppose
that THESE men nave duy ASSiS'o'i"N
sympathies with what Mr.. Bryan
aptly calls the Hplain people," on
the contrary, their symPathies are
with rich corporations, syndicates,
trusts, ETC.; and whenever the IN
terests of the people and those Of
aggregatioas of capital are in an
tagonism, i. is with the latter that
these moneyed Senators sympathize
and in their favor that they shape
legislation as far as they can. 1t is
to be hoped, therefore, that the
Virginia conference will show the
way to more satisfactory method
Of electing United States Senators
than that which now prevails.

The inspiration of this strong
and eloquent speech was the
ststruggle between democracy and
tocracy"-between republican
ism and imperialism-whic the ar
rogance and blindness Of the men
IN power have thrust to the front as
the dominating issue for the com
ing campaign
Mr.. Bryan's warning and his APP
peal will not fall on needless ears.
There are always a million mo-
derate voters in this country whose
ballots determine the result of
Presidential elections. In 1896
Mr.. Bryan went too far and des-
troved his chances. The million
moderates will not vote for any
man for President, however much
they may sympathize with his
party, who goes to extremes in his
advocacy. And so a million mo-
derate Democratic votes elected
McKinley-not because they liked
his party, not wholly because they
favored sound money, but because
they believed in his greater conser-
vatism.
But the moderates are of both
parties. And if Mr.. Bryan shall
remove the approximations Of the
Democrats who dlstrusted him be-
fore-which his present course is
calculated to do-he can win the
support of enough moderate Re-
pu b!icans on the issue of antimono
poly and anti-imperialism to win
the election.
Great opportunities impose great
duties.

Memory.
duties.

Detroit Free Press.
Truly memory is elusive
thing that passes all understanding.
In some ways it is like great cav
ern in which faces and facts and in
cidents are stored away. The well
regulated mind is in possession Of
a searchlight by means of which it
can illumine even distant parts of
the cave, but in every mind it is
true that there are hooks and cor
ners in which lie hidden treasures
that cannot be found at will.
Then, too, what is written in the
brain is curiously like the row of
blocks with which the child plays,
setting them up, one after another,
so that when the first is overturned
cession. And it does not require a
violent force to start the operation.
The slightest touch, the faintest
impulse is often all that is necessary
to produce great results. The
sound of voice, the notes Of a
long forgotten song, a breath Of
the scent-laden, balmy breeze, may
recall the days and nights gone by
when things were, ah, so different
from what they are today. We re-
member the times in childhood
when we were as free from care as
the birds that fly from tree to tree
singing their CHEEKY songs; when
we roamed the fields and woods
and wandered along the grassy
banks of some little stream with
friends who grew very dear to us.
The blue sky was above our heads
and from it the sun shone gently.
We cared not for dress or the de-
vices of pride and convention-we
were ourselves, as natural and tree
as it is given man to be. We kept
no masks in front of our faces IN
those days. The soft wind brushed
the hair from our brows and we,
like the wind, went hither and
thither, wherever we listed, reading
each others hearts as readily as
now we read the printed page.
Every squirrel, every bird, every
tree was friend of ours and there
were no enemies in the world.
And now, whenever the air blows
from the fields, sweet with the
odors of the flowers and the fresh
ness of the woods, or whenever a
bird trills as we were wont to hear
it, the train of memory is set in
old, the same happy, merry hearted
children that knew no sorrow.

The Grippe.

Walter Hurt in The Calling Gun.
Col. p. DOMAIN, Of Portland, Ore,
is one of the most potent personall-
ties on the Pacific slope. AS
promoter of railroads and real es-
tate, as journalist, politician and
public spirited citizen, the chroni-
Gle of his career Is closely inter
woven with the story Of western
development. He is prodigy with
the pen, and the CirCean lure of
his language tempts the guIleless
tende rfoot to believe a barren gulCh
is a valley Of Cashmere. He is a
man Of many parts and brilliant in
all He has great renown as a
globe trotter, is a racy reconteur,
connoisseur of cocktails, and
patron saint of the sacred game of
poker. AS between his personality
and his profanity, it is difficult to
decide which is the more pictu-
rescue.
Some time ago the colonel was
seriously sick, and during his con-
valesCence he wrote me one OF his
characteristic letters. His desCrP-
ton of the devastating effects of
grippe deserves to stand as elias
sic. That portion of his letter
dealing with this disease will inter
est all who have been suffering
from the scourge:
"Poor, drunken Bobb1e Burns
went off half-cocked,' or worse,
when he poured out his jingling
apathematiZation of toothache as
the hell O. a diseases He ought
to have waited till The Grippe,
with it's world girdling train OF
ambulances and dead carts, came
along. Saul hath slain his thous-
ands, and David his tens of thous-
ands.' Other so-called Great
Plaques have killed their hundreds
of thousands, but Grippe has
slaughtered, crippled and crazed
its millions. 1t struck me in 1888,
before it was known even by name
in this country, and it caught me
anew and aworse at Nc klnley-
Alger-and- Eagan's vile fraud OF a
Peace Jubilee in Chicago last Octo-
ber-where l was, as a decent and
intelligent citizen, attending to my
own business, and taking no part,
even as spectator, in the lunatIc
jamboree over a peace that is no
peace, after war that was and is
wholly and irredeemably infamous.
Grippe is the bulldog of pestilences.
When it once takes hold, it never
lets go-except in courtesy to the
undertaken and grave-digger. 1t has
reduced me to the ragged edge OF a
frazzie, physically, morally, mentally
and senti mentally-t" say nothing OF
convivlally, socially, spiritually and
financially. l am hardly tit to
grace a pine slab in back alley
morgue for dilapidated patriots,
and am utterly unfit to attempt a
rational letter to ANYBODY on any
subject"

tention as to the final disposition of the
islands. and added that the president
has not determined what position the
interests of the United States would
make necessary.
The situation at Manila is regarded
as critical, of course, but the officials
see no reason why they cannot COM
mand it for a time at least. General
Otis reported yesterday, in connection
with some matters connected with the
shipment home of some sick Spanish
soldiers, that he could hold out beyond
a doubt until his reinforcementS ar
rived. and added that as the news had
reached Manila that there was every
prospect that the peace treaty would
soon be ratified by the United States
senate, the effect on the native element
had been satisfactory.
There is good ground for the belief
that AgOncillO is receiving advice from
certain persons inimical 90 the policy

tention of the senate during the greater
part of this time. Constructively, he
occupied the floor during the entire ses-
sion, but he was frequently interrupt
ed by other senators. Most of these
interruptions came in the way of ques-
tions, but some of them took the form
of speeches. This was notably the case
with Senator Berry's Interruptions. He
spoke for some time and in doing so
denounced the treaty in severe terms,
Senators Mason and Caffery asked
many questions.
Senator Frye was asked if the presi-
dent had not originally instructed the
commission to only insist upon secur-
ing coaling station in the Philippine
group. To this Mr.. Frye replied that
he did not feel at liberty to give his
Interpretation of the presidents in
structiOnS, but it was not necessary
that he should do so, as the president,
he said. had determined to comply, par
TALLY at least, with the Senate'S request
for the documents on file bearing on
the negotiation of the treaty and Mr.
Frye said he felt justified in assuring
the senate that the papers would be
received not later than Monday.
Mr.. Frye was asked why the Philip
pine islands were not placed in the
same class as Cuba and replied that the
difference was made because in the
case of Cuba the commission was act
ing under instructions from congress.
He was reminded that the Filipinos
professed to be fighting for freedom
just as the Cubans were and that they
were still contending for their own in
dependence.
One senator reminded him of the
representations of Aguinaldos Ameri-
can agent, Agoncillo, and asked him
if he meant to force the Philippine peo-
pie to actual hostilities, to Which Mr.
Frye retOrted that it was the opposi-
ton which was forcing a continuance
of the state of war and which would be
responsible for hostilities if they Saould
occur. AS for himself, however, ne did
not know the Filipinos in the transac-
ton. The treaty should have been rati-
danger of war with the people of the
Philippine islands would have been
aVerted.
Senator Mason put the question
whether the commissioners did not
know when they made the treaty and
whether he did not know that the ma
tiveS of those islands were then, as
now, demanding their independence In
response, Mr.. Frye repeated that the
commission dealt with Spain. regard
ing the Filipinos as subjects of that
country. Spain had lost by conflict of
war, and hence the United States had a
perfect right, according to the law of
nations, to acquire any part of her pos
sessions or people in adjusting the bal
ances after the war was over.

that the ecquisitiOn OF the islands was

to Declare War.
Chicago, Jan. 27.-A special to the
Record from Washington says: When
Agoncillo learned that the senate had
set q day Tor voting on the ratifca-
ton of the peace treaty, he prepared a
dispatch 10 the Filipino junta al Hong
kong, conveying the news, and is re-
ported to have added The suggestion
that if Aguinaldo was to iorcibly con-
test American control, ne should strike
the blow at once as with the leatY

Americans would be in 1etIec posi-

it is said, was intercepted and brought
to the attention of the president and
Secretaries Al2er and Long
Washington. Jan. 27.-AgoncillO, the
representative of AguinaldO. authorized
the following statement today concern
ing a published report that the govern
ment had intercepted dispatches frnm
him to Aguinaldo, in which he advised
that the F'iliDinos would nave to fight
for their independence. ana that now
was the time TO act:
1.-The statement is abs 0lute.y false.
and is calculated to excite feeling and
animosity in this country, and to prei-
udice the Philippine cause. No such
telegram has ever been sent by me- and,
for that reason, no such telegram could

the statement is shown by the fact that
