OF the two issues with which, In the last
election, the perplexed BRYAN sought to
"oyerehadow" the Chicago plank for free
silver, the first, anti-expHnsion, Is unlver-
sally acknowledged to have been swallowed
UP In expansion victory. The second issue,
antitrust, received less attention generally
in the campaign. but il left about as deep as
the other In the ditch OF failure.
The trust issue happened to be promi-
nent In two States. Each had trust plank
moro or less fashionable by the earlier
standards, but their Interpretation on the
stump was OF the modern school.
In Ohio the Hon. MARCUS ALoNzo HANNA.
whose bodily figure has come to be the
sign OF the Trust when Organism seeks
to illustrate that institution, talked trust
yolubly and continually, and was scored by
the opposition as the trusts arch friend.
Yet Ohio chose the candidate Of the Hanna
party by bullying majority OF more than
10000 over that incorporating enemy
Of capital. the Hon. JONI II. MCLEAN.
Iowa also Is q striking case " the same
sentiment. There the Hon. LESLIE NJ.
SHAW, the Governor and Republican candi-
date for Governor, an eXpansonist without
reserve and sound money man unalloycd,
had acquired for himself peculiar promi-
nence In the debate over trusts. Last Sep
TENDER Governor SHAW appeared In the
antitrust conference Of State Execu-
tlves which met in st. Louis at the
call OF the Governor of Texas. We
won't reprint his speech, but it was an
address so contemptuous OF the assembly
and so curt in the manner OF the speakers
withdrawal from 1t and departure for his
home. that the mighty monster hunters in
an uproar Of Indignation, angrily laid upon
the table the sarcastic resolution from which
Governor SHAw's remarks had been de-
veloped. Yet Governor SHAW was reelected
in Iowa by majority Of over 5000.
We imagine that there are mighty few
States which on this question would dis
agree with Ohio and Iowa.

the contest against petty Boer population
In South Africa doubt that Germany, Rus
sia and France, powers that would have
carried in their train Spain. Italy end Aus
tria, could, had they seized the present
occasion, have brought the British Empire
to the verge Of ruin.
From the moment that our State Depart
ment flung the military and naval power OF
the United States into the 6, a'e, 1t became
evident that the Continental powers could
no. work havoc with Englands interests In
the Fur East, because American support was
not only important OF itself, but certain TO
carry with it the cooper alton OF Japan. No
we'll Uniformed person will dispute that
Japan England and the United States COM
binrd would DO more than match, both on
land and sea, for any coalition that could
b. arrayed against them on the Asiatio
shores Of The Pacific. The truth was no
more dis inctly recognized at Berlin than
at ST. Petersburg ami Paris, but the
German Emperor took time by the
forelock, and secured q substantial equiv
alent for his refusal to countenance any
anti british alliance. Having won over
Germany, the British Foreign ONCE seems
to think that 1t has no longer any need Of
American good will, and. accordingly, the
divulgation Of the Anglo-Gcrman agreement
about Samoa Is quickly followed by re-
newal OF the demand for the cession OF an
Alaskan seaport to Canada.
One trifiing circumstance seems to have
been overlooked by the British Foreign
Office. The agreement by which Great
Britain has conveyed her rights in Samoa 10
not worth the paper on which 1t is written,
unless the treaty embodying the arrange
mcnt Is confirmed by two-thirds OF the
members o. our Federal Senate. II our
Senate refuses to confirm the treaty, what
are England and Germany going to do
about it? No doubt England and Germany
might attempt to carry out their private
agreement without regard to our treaty
rights. But that would be casus belli
and, although We might deem It, for the
moment, injudcious to accept the provoca-
ton, 1t would free us, at all events, from any
sense Of Indebtedness to Great Britain.

ence peculiar to the city, namely, Speed

The trotting horses shown this yenr
ought to put into the shade all preceding
exhibits Of their class. for the reason that
the Speedway has revived the use OF hem,

The Parker House In Boston has seen
many queer sight, but perhaps none more
essentially odd and facetious than dinner
party given there last Saturday afternoon.
In Boston dinner begins before breakfast
is finished in New York. or this little din
ner the Hon. GEORGE FRED WILLIAMS, the
great Democratic vote-ecaler. was the
glory. There he sat, covered with bushes
and laurels. and the Democratic State Com
mittee sat around him. There, too, was
the Hon. A. W. THOMAS, undoubting
THOMAS OF Chicago and the National Demo
cratic Committee. the trend OF his re-
marks being anti-imperlalistic." Mr..
THOMAS assured Mr.. WILLIAMS that Mr..
WILLIAMS was loved and honored
throughout the country" and that great
causes deserve great leaders" We hope
that the Hon. JOSIAH QUINCY and all other
persons who don't love and honor Mr.. Will
LIAMs will read Mr. THoMAs's remarks and
turn from the error OF their ways.
The Hon. NJ. n. CUNSIFF said that :" II the
Democrats had had proper campaign fund,
Mr. PAINE would probably have carried the
State" Must the Money Power be used to
beat the Money Power? Cannot the immor-
tai principles OF the immortal WILLIAMS
triumph without the disgracing aid OF saint
seducing gold?
But this Is a depression. The momentous
moment Of the dinner came when the Hon.
CHRISTOPHER 7. CALLAHAN, one OF Mr..
WILLIAMS premature delegates to the
National Democratic Convention OF 1900,
introduced the Hon. WILLIAM 8. MCNARY,
another OF Mr.. WILLIAMs's prematurities.
On behalf Of Col. DRINKwATER. solid Dem
ocrat with Dry name. Mr.. McNARY gave
Mr.. WILLIAMS an autograph copy OF the

was Just the kind OF thing Mr.. WILLIAMS
would like"
Col. DRINKwATER meant we'll, but Mr.
