If william j. Bryan can be induced
to come to Scarboro Democratic town
for " ont of the last IS years), he is to
be fed on regular farm dinner-pork
and beans and baked Indian pudding,
with side dish of Scarboro clans, and
perhaps drink of 'stonewall' cider at
the end. But perhaps even thissappetiz-
ing fare will not draw Col. Bryan when
he learns that the exception in Soarboro' 4
Democratic record was in 1896. when
that town gave William MCKINLEY 1872
votes and William j. Bryan 1877 votes.

The Philippine insurgents practiced the

golleys and then fed northward to Cal

tie country is said to be very difficult
to traverse Astounding in swamps and
jungles. With each new retreat the diff
Guilty of following the insurgents increases,
not only on account of the less accessible
character of the country, but because we
are farther away from our base from
which supplies must be brought up. II
we march on Calumpit the insurgents
will undoubtedly resort again tosthe same
old tactics of making slight resistance
and then retreating farther north. 1t
looks as If It were practically impossible
to catch them unless as IS suggested,

Booker L. Washington has reached the
white people of the south as no other ne
gro has ever done. He is making them
friendly to negro education, and he is DO
lag 1t by applying common sense argu-
ments. lit will pay the white people OF
the south" he SAID at birmingham,
Ala, Thursday night, ''if for no other
reason than to increase their own mate
rial wealth, to take the deepest interest in
the nexyo's education. We hear pro-
louged moan going up from all portions
Sf the south because of four and live cent
cotton. The explanation OF this low
price cotton, think, ali will agree, is to
be found largely in oyerproduction. IS
not the explanation TO be found IN the
fact that the black man produces the
larger proportion of the cottonf AS
rule the black man is ignorant and
knows not how to produce anything else
except cotton. Is 1t not true that in all
the history of tho world an ignorant farm
ing class produces but single cropY Is
il not true that you can only have IA diver
sifed crop where you have an intelligent
farming olass?' The early schools for
tue negro were established Oh the lines OF
many educational institutions which are
maintained in the North-to produce pro-
fsssiopal men. Black men with CLASH
col educations aroused ridicule and an
tagonism in the South. Mr.. Washington
is educating the negro industrially; in
creasing his capacity to supply his own
wants and at the same time increasing
his wants. Thus he is making of him a
higher priced laborer This raises the
standard of negro labor, and at the same
time relieves the white man of the COM
petition of degraded labor. 1t is a long
road to the betterment of race in this
way; but it is the only road. The Anglo
Saxon had to tread it, and no short cut
can be found for the black men.

The Chicago municipal campaign is this
hottest one that city has seen in
many years. The regular Democratic
candidate is the present Mayor Carter
Harrison and the regular Republican Is
Zina Il. Carter. Then there is John +.
AltgeId who is running as an independ
ent Democrat. The principal issue seems
to lie the city's policy toward the sur
face railroads. IL was largely
through Harrison's efforts and influence
thas the surface roads failed to get al
extern sion of their franchise for 50 years.
and this fact is being made a prominent
feature in his campaign. Altgeld Is In
the flgnt simply to help defeat harrison
whom he charges with being in alliance
with Croker and the Goldbugs to throw
down Bryan. Garter is not likely to hold
the whole Republican vote. because many
Republicans are anxious to express their
condemnation of the conduct OF Yerkes
ana the surface railroad companies and
believe they can do 1t better by voting toI
Harrison than for Carter. Harrison
most bitter newspaper opponent is the
Inter Ocean which is controlled by MI
Yerkes, tie railroad magnate, and Its at
taoks upon him are of most malignant
kind. 1t accuses him of catering to the
criminal elements and through the police
force of Matchmaking all the keepers OF
lives and brothels to contribute to his
am paign fund. Altgeld's hold ON
The silver element of the Democracy which
S pretty strong in the city makes the re-
Iult very doubtful. With the full Repub-
lean vote Carter could be elected, but
