BRYAN AT IRINCFIELD.
he Renews His Opposition to the
Policy Of Expansion.
QUOTES PRESIDENT M'KINLEY.

s'I Speak Not of ForclbIe Annexation,
Because That Is Not to Be Thought
Of Under Our Code of Morality
That Would Be Criminal Aggression
Springfield, MS, Jan. William j.
Bryan arrived in Springfield at o'clock
yesterday afternoon. He left for Jack
sonville, Ills, today, and will go to
Cincinnati tomorrow. AT s O'clock last
night he addressed an immense audi
ence in Central Music Hall, being in
troduced by Congressman-ele Benja-
min f. Caldwell, of this district.
Touching the question of annexation
Mr.. Bryan said:
1.-THE party that was willing to OPP
pose the gold standard because it was
wrong ought to be great enough to
oppose an English colonial system be-
cause 1t is wrong. 1t is astonishing
that any man living in this age of the
world, and living in the United States,
should uphold the doctrine Of securing
land by conquest. Jefferson was
against it long years ago. Blaine was
against it in 1890 And year ago last
December the president of the United
and in that message he said: 81 speak
not of forcible annexation, because that
is not to be thought of; under our code
of morality that would be criminal ag-
gression.'
My friends. there is a great moral
question involved, declared SO by your
president; a code of morality is in ques-
ton, and according to that code forci-
bic annexation is criminal aggression
Il say give independence to the peo-
pie of Cuba, not because we promised
it to them. but because they fought fol
it and have a right to it, whether we
promised it or not. Why cannot we
apply the same principle to the Phil
ippines? Why should we purchase a
title to the Philippines from Spain
We declared that Spain did not have
any title to Cuba. When / buy the
Philippines I want to deal directly with
them, and 1 want to pay more thar
81. so apiece for them"

According to local boss, Mr.. Bryan
did not cut any ice in New York, but he
seems to have cut considerable in Wash

But several OF the New York Bryan mad
papers were thrown into very bad fits OF

Commissioner, takes a whole big column

he learned he was in the city =

cases of several Chinese laborers and
others seeking readmission to Hawaii.
Under the Hawaiian laws they were
allowed to visit their native country
and to return upon complying with
certain conditions. The treasury in

now debarred. The Hawaiian supreme
court, however. has held that they are
entitled TO land. and the question has
been referred to Attorney General
Griggs. About 800 Cinnamon will be

The Nashville Banner blights the bud
ding hopes of Washington agents by say.
ing -
1.-THE ex Confederates dream OF nothing
so improbable as a Government pension,
and such measure would unquestionably
incur the opposition of the Southern mem
bers of Congress if it could be legally pro-
posed. The ex Confederate is not a
rapacious pension rater. Most of the
Southern States provide some form of
pension for disabled Confederate soldiers,
but it is most remarkable how few have
awaited themselves Of the privilege COM
pared with the Union soldiers who draw
Federal pensions. President Mckinley s
generous words at Atlanta made recogni-
ton of the valor of the Confederate dead
and the patriotism of the living South.
Nothing more is asked or expected. The
ConiederacY is forever dead ALI the issues
Inat brought it into existence are dead.
Inc Union is living force, and the desire
OF the South is that it live forever But
ex-Coniederate soldiers want no pen, ions. D

Dover, Del, Jan. 5.-After taking a
dozen Intellectual ballots for speaker
yesterday forenoon and AZ more in the
afternoon the legislature adjourned
until today. Several Democrats voted
for the regular Republican candidate in
an effort to effect an organization, but
the regulars declared they did not
want Democratic aid, and would not
vote for their own candidate. Repre-
sentative Clark, the regular Republi-
can candidate, will doubtless be chosen
speaker.

The Newton Register, the Republican
newspaper of Sussex county, has these ex-
northumberland in advance to disap-
oint-concerning the next Legislature:-
The next Legislature is expected to re-
duce the cost of elections under the Werts
law, reduce the salary of the Governor to a
mo reasonable figure, and to reduce the
rate Of interest to five per cent There
should be no opposition to either reform
and especially to the first. Capitalists
concede that four per cent. is the highest
rate that large loans viii command, and
the reduction is demanded by scores oil
tillers of the soil who caunot pay six pei
cent. and make life worth living.

"The coming Legislature should pass
law providing that sheriffs shall adver
tise their sales of real estate in at least
one newspaper nearest to where the advel-
tised property is located. and also provide
a penalty for violation of it's provisions
Under the existing law the sheriffs, often
through the demand of the solicitor for the
complainant in the case, selects rapers for
advertising purposes which are remote
from the location of the real estate that is
to be sold, thus working an injustice to the
person or persons who are unfortunate
enough to have their property seized by
the sherln, by not giving due prominence
10 the sale IN the community 10 which the
property is located. An instance of this
kino Is apparent at present in the sale of
property OF Joseph Carlisle, of GIassboro
which IS now being advertised in the
woodbury. papers while it is omitted from
the paper that is published almost in sight
of the property. Other papers in yarious
parts of the State have frequently called
attention to this matter, but an eff.ctive
remedy for the evil has not vet been
placed on the statute book"
lGlassboro Enterprise.
The advertising of sales of real estate by
sheriffs and all public officials has been a
subject of more of less contention among
publishers since the newspaper became an
adjunct 10 so many towns. The argument
of the Enterprise is about the stock argu-
ment of the " nearest paper" theorists, and
has much force if it be a fact that purchas-
ers of real estate are to be secured only in
the immediate community in which it il
located. The idea of advertising is pub
licity, and that can be obtained only by
using the newspapers of the largest gene al
circulation in the county. II the Enterprise
has that, its contention is just one, bat
hit views Sheriff's sale of real estate as
legitimate source of profit to it, because
the property to be offered is located 10 its
baiIiwick, it is erroneous.
The sheriff, the executor, the administra-
tor, or what not, who uses the columns of
the two newspapers having the largesL
general circulation in the county, need
fear no criticism on his action, but when
the interests Of all parties are sacrificed by
ofieiaIs, as they very often are, who lose
sight of the fact that they are public sery-
ants, and place advertising simply as a
gratnity to. some political or personal
friepd, they not only lay themselves open
TO Just criticism, but they do wrong to
every property owner, because values of
real estate are fixed, largely, by prices
obtained in the open market.

The Albany Lai0 journal takes a legal
view of the case of the Utah Congressman
which differs very widely from the merci-
less denuuication heaped upon him in
other quarters. 1t admits as valid the plea
of Mr.. Roberts that no &c post fdct0 legisla-
ton was contemplated against polygamy.
Mr.. Roberts contends, on his own behalf
that the prohibition of polygamous mar
riages applied only to the future and could
not affect or snnui obligations already
assumed. To use his own language: "The
settlement of that question, after years
of strife and heartache, left upon men
moral obligations from which no decree
of the chu CHI could release them and no
ACT of the state absolve them" This ia
easily understood as meaning the care Of
polygamous wives and families, to turn
whom adrift would be inhuman. Mr..
Roberts will be seated when the next Con.
gress convenes upon uncontested creden-
tiaIs, and it is doubtful if the House Of
Representatives will expel him, as it has
power to do, with or without lawful reason.
