Bryan Thinks Filipinos Are
Worth More Than $3.50
a Piece.

Springfield, I'LL, Jan. 5.-Wm. Jennings
Bryan arrived in Springfield at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. He will leave for
Jacksonville, ILL.,. today and go to Gin
cinnati on Friday. At o'clock he ad-
dressed an immense audience in Central
Music hall, being introduced by Con-
gressman-e elect Benjamin F. Caldwell
of this district.
Touching the question OF annexation
Mr.. Bryan said:
The party that was willing to oppose
the gold standard because it was NROng
ought to be great enough to Oppose an
English colonial system, because it is
wrong. 1t is astonishing that any man
living in this age of the world, living
in the United States should uphold the
doctrines 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 States sent a message to
congress and in that message he said:
" L speak not of fOrcible annexation,
because that is not to be thought of;
under our code of morality that would
be criminal aggression. My friends there
is great moral question involved de-
clared so by your president; a code of
morality is in question, and according
to that code, forcibIe 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 for it
and have a right to it whether we
promised it or not. Why cannot we apply
the same principal to the Philippines?
Why should we purchase a title to the
Philippines from Sapin? We declared
that Spain did not have any title to
Cuba. When I buy the Filipinos I
want to deal directly with them, and
want to pay more than $3.50 piece for
them

IMPA1ED OR BOILED IN o1Lp
What Should Be Done With the Fun
ny Things, the Political Janitors.

The state house janitors during the
past few days have been occasionally
compelled to forego their prolonged
maps during the forenoon and after
noon for the purpose of keeping the
large doors at the principal entrances
to the building closed. The passing of
many people left the doors open during
a considerable part of the time and
thereby placed additional responsible
tiles upon the already worthless jani-
tors. They soon were afflicted with a
relapse into that chronic tired feeling
and at once sought some means to
avoid watching the doors. They locked
all the doors possible and then nailed
upon those at the main entrance a mon
strosity in the shape Of sign inscribed:
Shut the Door"
The sign is alleged to have been made
by a man who was capable of using a
shading pen successfully. but this pro-
duct of his labor is a disgrace to the
state of Kansas. The signs should be
torn down. Then, had the janitors ordi-
nary sense, they would apply oil to the
spring hinges, stop the awful squeak
ing, and then the doors would close
themselves.

to again score the Populist party in ref

scoring was on the broken pledges basis.
Cassin demanded a roll call on the mo-

very doubtful if the bill would, pass on
