At Indianapolis, last Thursday the Car
riage Builders National Association heard
from the lips OF Mr. JOHN A. CAsS OF Phlla-
delphia, one of the oldest members of the
Association, an address on International
Trade" couched in vein Of striking patri-
otto feeling and commercial enlighten-
ment.
We give here, quoted from the In
dianapoHs Journal Mr.. CAsss estimate
OF the Spanish war as factor in the ire

this country now rejoices. 1t will be use

The Degeneracy Of a Candidate.

Col. BRYAN Is marching rapidly through
Nebraska, talking as he flies. He doesn't
seem to say very much about silver. Al
though he asserts that he Is faithful to the
Chicago platform and its immortal princi-
pies, he admits that the old issues can be-
overshadowed by new ones. so he pours
forth great streams Of words about impe-
rialism and militarism. Occasionally he
lauds the Beers. Apparently he Is as
anxious to have the United States meddle
with other nations affairs In South Africa
as he Is to have the United States neglect
its own business in the Philippines.
1t is an unfortunate fact that Col BRYAN
has not added to his reputation this year.
His championship Of GOEBEL Ia not the only
black mark that 1899 has made against
him. His virtual attacks upon the treaty
OF peace, which he was officious in recon-
mending to the support of the Democratic
party; his description OF the Spanish war as
"oauseless," although it has been the boast
OF his Democratic and Populist support
ers that they forced 1t upon the Ad-
ministration; his attacks upon Eng
land. the one friend of the United
States during the war, and his appeals
to race prejudice; in short, the whole stump
speech system OF the man this fall, have
shown that his sense Of propriety and
even Of veracity has been degraded by
his growing passion for Office. In 1898
he was profoundly disappointed, having
formed hopes worthy OF his permanent
want OF Judgment. He seems to be as en-
thusiastic now. but he has added new and
even shallower arts OF demagoguery to his
equipment. In 1893 much could be par
doned to his evident ignorance and to
the oratorlcal temperament, which is
inclined to leap over facts, But when
Col. BRYAN repeats misstatements such
as his frequently exposed yarn about
an increase in the number OF commercial
failures in the year after MoKNLEY's cleo
tion, 1t ia impossible 10 escape the oonclu-

possess singular gifts OF higher order
which attract independently OF their
faults.
As regards the costliness OF undergradu-
ate life at oxford, we are assured that the
present tendency is In the direction Of econ
omy. No doubt the man who hunts several
times a week and gives large enter
tainments will find the University more
expensive than Eton. But such men
are very few, except in one or two col
leges, and, according to the Guardian, the
ordinary man can, II he chooses, live
with complete comfort, supply himself
with books and clothes and pay his
other personal expenses for the year
for under O thousand dollars. This sum
will even allow Of good deal Of entertain
ing on modest scale Wine parties 1t Is
pointed out, are now out Of fashion in
nearly all colleges, and, where they are In
vogue, are mainly confined to merely ore
evening a week. Men frequently meet, no
doubt. In each Others rooms in the course
OF the evening, but the usual beverage on
such an occasion Is whiskey and soda
water.
As regards the coarser features OF the
Speakers arraignment, tne writer IN tne
Guardian pronounces it as simply false to
treat the undergraduate world, or any con-
siderable portion Of 1t, as "idiotic and con-
temptuous snobs OF whom drunkenness is
expected nightly" AS to the alleged ex-
travagance in dress, it Is not disputed that
few men may err in this respect, but tho
criticism more usually made is directed
against the slovenliness Of the cloth cap
and Norfolk jacket generally worn.
Unquestionably there is much difference
between colleges at Oxford, and colleges
themselves change considerably, sometimes
within few years, in regard to expensive
ness, industry. fashions and morals. II
we take the University az whole,
however, 1t Is unreasonable to sup
pose that it is home OF mere idle
ness and low interests, that economy
and social success are incompatible, or that
the ethical toneis generally low. man who
wishes to work and to live decent life at
Oxford can do both without finding public
opinion against him, or lacking opportuni-
ties, II he be n man OF character, OF mould
ing that opinion himself.

THE BRITISH ARMY,
An English Opinion That 1t Is Practically
Inexhaustible.


To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN - Sir: Your
remark that II would be difficult to resnf force
the British army in India prompts me to
ask for space to describe that army as find il
on somewhat hurried examination. Tho
regular army In England and the colonies at
the beginning OF the year was composed Of
17l.394 men. The great bulk OF this force was
in the British Isles One army corps is in course
OF despatch to South Africa and the reserves of
that corps alone have been called out. namely.
$4,000 men out OF a total of 30 900, forming tho
First Class Army Reserves.
Very recently the Commander in Chief. Lord
Wolaeley. in a public speech stated that two
army corys could be despatched to any part OF
the world as quickly as transportation could be
provided. and another corps shortly nfterwarh.
/ think. therefore. you will admit that ono
army corps at least can be promptly sent to
India. NAV add that il every regular soldier
in Great Britain and Ireland Ia shipped away
for foreign service the Rarrisons are at once
renamed by the militia, composed OF 132. 4o3
men, and the yeomanry cavalry OF .Sol men.
In the event OF the militia and yeomanry
being sent abroad to reinforce the regular
army, then the Government will call out the
magnificent volunteer army of 263.D63 men.
Needless to tell any military man that In
physique. workmanship. spirit and inteli-
Rence. the volunteers are the grandest force
England has ever possessed.
Finally. conservative military estimates place
the number Of men in private life who have
services as above one million. The above fact.
prove that the mill tary resources OF England
are practically inexhaustible.

While perhaps some OF the provisions In Judge
CoI's code OF equal rights for men" cannot
be sustained. they are certainly no more II
not less unreasonable than the demands oi
the advocates Of equal rights" for women.
One extreme beRets another ever since the
"woman's rights" question became generally
known. I have believed that such a movement
as Alice Stone Blackwell denominates equal
rights for men" must spring up sooner or
later. to combat It. II Is not with this phase If
the question, however that wish to deal II
is only Of this declaration OF Mrs. Blackwell
that would speak. 1T Is not sasy to see how
equal rights can be given to men without being
given also to women. since things equal to the
same thing are equal to each other"
Now, this Is the very ground on which the
most rejecting and conservative OF the oppo.
nents OF ''woman's rights" have always based
their opposition IL the advocates OF EQUAL
rights" for women believe in the above postu.
late. It follows by logical sequence that they
must believe that. In case OF illegitlmate issue.
the father and mother are equally bound to
support such issue; that in marriage the hus.
band should have the same rights In his wIte's
property during life or at death Az the wife
has in the husbands property: that both are
equally bound to support the children TO sup
port Themselves or each other: that In case OF
suit for divorce or separation. the wife 10
bound to support herself and pay her counsel
fees equally as the husband Is bound to sup-
port himself and nay his counsel fees, and no
on. The laws at present do not put man and
woman on an equality" In these respects.
and the variance IL all In favor OF the woman.
There are many other inequalities OF q SINH
lar kind. but the above will suffice. II tho
rights OF man and woman were made equal,
