AS to the BeImont-croker Dinner.

Despite the treachery of Cleveland,
Belmont and Croker, Mr.. Bryan received
o,4oI ,o77 votes. This was 94o626 more
votes than Mr.. Cleveland received in 1922
Mr.. Bryan was indeed defeated by Mr..
Mckinley, but deducting his negro vote
fully one million strong. Mr.. Bryan would
have had plurality of about 400, 900 on
the popular vote. Deduct also the fraud
ulent vote of Mckinley, and the votes of
working men who were intimidated,
Bryan's popular majority would have been
a million and half votes, and his cleo
ton the most signal triumph in American
history. Mr. Bryan at any rate received
a majority of the white voters of the land,
and it is not for the boilers and traitors
who conspire with the Republicans to de.
feat them, to attempt now to dictate the
Democratic platform or candidate for

A Warning to Young rlen.

Under the new army organization law
the President has the appointment of IoI
second leutenants, and in less than two
weeks after the passage of the law 1000
applicants had been made for this sub
ordinate office. This tells story of the
boosted prosperity now rampant in the
monopoly papers more eloquently than
tongue or pen can portray. These appli-
cants are among the more intelligent
class of people, neither belonging to the
ranks of the rich or the poor, but partak
ing of both They possess all the adj
vantages Of the best citizenship and bus
mess qualifications. Then why are they
not employed in some business which in
sures such young men independence and
a comfortable future? That is the ques
ton of the hour and the most vital of all
questions to the young men and young
women just stepping OH the first rounds
of life's ladder. They behold nation of
trusts and monopoles with all the bus
mess, the wealth, developed and unde-
veloped, and every opportunity in their
possession. They can see no opportunity
for individual enterprise, only chance to
become mental to the trusts with many
of their class soliciting the same job from
these masters The army offers an oppor-
tunity to earn little money for two
years, new field, as it were, is suddenly
presented and Immediately 2o,ooo-a
whole army-rush and scramble for IoI
places, 200 scramble for every place to be
filled
This is a fearful commentary on the
policy which has been pursued by the
party which has had the shaping of the
destinies of this nation and its citizens for
thirty years, and it is time and past the
time, when that policy should be changed,
and the conditions appeal more strongly
to that class who fly to subaltern posi-
tion in the army to escape the menace of
abject poverty or servitude. This Incl
dent should cause young men to pause
and thoughtfully consider the serious life
problem they stand face to face with.

The Presidents Philippine Policy.

The United States Philippine
Commission on Monday issued a
proclamation containing 1900 words
to the inhabitants of the island.
The paper, which was prepared by
President Schurman, of the COM
mission, outlines the responsible
tiles of the United States in the
Philippines and states that the
object of the American government
is to elevate the Philippine people.
The hostilities now prevailing
are deplored and are attributed to
the Filipinos misunderstanding the
purpose of the United STAGES. The
commission asks the cooperation
of the people for the establishment
of a better understanding and in
vites attention to the following reg
ulative principles, by which the
United States may be guided:
L. American supremacy must be
enforced.
2. The most ample liberty pos
sible will be granted.
3. All civic rights are guar
anteed.
4. Honor forbids use of Philip
pines as a means of exploitation.
5. An effective civil service is
guaranteed.
6. An honest fiscal administra-
ton is promised.
7. All corruption will be eradi
Gated.
s. Public works of all kinds will
bepromOted.
9. Foreign trade and commerce
will be fostered.
10. Schools will be established.
IL. Reforms in all departments
of the government of the islands
are promised.
The proclamation is signed by
Jacob Gould Schurman, George
Dewey, Elwell S. Oils, Charles
DENLY and Dean G. Worcester.
These be fine promises, but their
weak point is the most of them are
not carried out at home.

capitalization foots up more than s., ooo,-

rowing money from the banks in order TO
be able to hold them, and the banks are
putting up their rates of interest. The
scarcity of money measured by the de
1nand, which these trust shares have Gre
ated could not fail to "check" prices,

Mr.. Wharton Barker who is the last
years nominee for the presidency i'll 1900
of the middle of-the-road" party is pur-
suing singular course to revive ''popu-
lism," by attempting TO defend the
Belmont-C Croker & Co. goldbug conspir-
ators and striking at Bryan. Mr.. Barker's
course is the best possible that could be
devised to utterly destroy the last vestige
of the peoples party. The election OF
Bryan on the Chicago platform would
advance the principles of the Peoples
party more than any other possible result.
Mr.. Bakers last years nomination by
a bakers dozen claiming to be middle
of-the-road" party, is of no more use than
last years birds nest for any practical
purpose, and is no excuse for his attempt
TO defend in his paper Belmont, Croker
& Co., as part of the Democratic party,
while striking at Bryan. That element
is not division of, but ar outlaw to the
Democratic party. Mr.. Barker has ap-
parently fallen into the error that to up
hold party name is far preferable to
promoting the party's principles.
The election of Bryan on platform
which embodies the most obtainable
principles of the Peoples party, is not
merely possible but in the highest degree
probable, while the election Of Mr..
Barker or any other "middle-of-the-road"
nominee, is fanciful as child's dream
of new treasure.

The American troops entered Malolos
on Friday of last week without opposition.
The breech clout 'army" of Agninaldo
had left in good time to escape being
shot. The Filipinos take to the jungle
and other than few rifle shots from the
bushes is about all the fighting they do.
But now their so called capital is taken,
the objective point of the campaign, there
seems to be no nearer an end to the Fill
ipino war than before. Everything has a
decidedly squally look for McKinley's
benevolent assimilation, and we fear it
will not be safe to trust him with another
Presidential term.

Our rlother, Sarah Brown.

Written for THE MIDLAND JOURNAL.
They bore thee from the shade, the hills,
Which thou hadst learn'd to love,
The mountain brook, the sparkling rilrs
Sweet wild flowers in the grove
They bore thee gently, gently on,
Nearing the spot of earth
Thy kind heart fondly dwelt upon
The home that gave thee birth.
Two dear old homes almost in sight
The grave yard lies between;
The forest trees of towering height,
The dome to worship in.
They bore thee gently to the place
Thou in early life once stood
With hand clasp'd in loves fond embrace,
So much by all approved.
The gaze was on a glad young face,
genial loving pair,
The hand-clasp OF that fond embrace
Promised life's journey fair.
Years pass'd with many joys to all,
The household grew in grace,
Then dear one borne on the pail
Left one more vacant place.
Borne to the spot where rests thee now
oh sacred resting place;
The spot where young loves plighted vow
Spoke joy on every face.
How changed the scene, each heart was gay
All heard the marriage vow;
Alas all hearts are sad today,
Viewing thy marble brow.
To know how much of life and love
Has pass'd from us away
Thy peaceful spirit far above
Rests in Eternal Day.
A life so beautiful on earth
Gave joy to every one;
Now thy pure soul. of heavenly birth,
Lives near thy Saviours throne.
We must not drop one briney tear,
We must not grieve for thee;
Thy loving kindness to us here
Lives in thy memory.
Oh sacred tie, thy memory
Divinely to us given
Beyond this veil, grant we may see
At last, thy face in heaven
