MR.. BRYAN's BLUNDER.

Tt appears from an interview with Mr..
Bryan in yesterdays papers that In Ne
braska he will make the Presidents policy
in the Philippines the issue during the next
two weeks, for the reason that he believes
the people are hostile thereto. 1t is not a
question whether or not the President is
right or wise in the course he is pursuing,
but whether a political issue can be made
out of 1t. 1t is of no consequence whether
the government would be disgraced and the
Nation Inundated by pursuing a different
policy. so long as there appears to be a
winning ISSUE in %denouncing the war. and
practically in opposing fighting the issue to
victory.
Looking only to party advantage, the
Journal is much gratifed to have Mr..
Bryan assume the position he has in re-
gard to the Philippines. He makes a mis-
take when, with a few others who made
mistakes about silver, he assumes that the
people of this country would get out of the
war and out of the Philippines as soon as
possible. The American people are not
fag-furlers. They are not in favor of re-
firing from territory secured by treaty. If
we do not hold the islands permanently UNI
der our sovereignty, as Admiral Dewey adj
vises, we are bound to establish a decent
government in the islands, and protect that
government. The feeling in favor of such
a lire of action is much wider than the Re-
publican party. How wide IT is in the East
YVES manifested by the unprecedented hon.

stands for the occupation Of the islands.
Already Mr.. Bryan and his fellow-dema-
gogues are calling the conflict in Luzon a
Republican war, or a Mckinley war. He
ought TO know that sort of talk will not af-
feet patriotic men. Between 1861 and 1865
the peace-at-any-price Democrats stigma
tized the war for the Union as ABE Lin
coins Abolition War;" but they did not de-
ceive patriotic people. A class Of Demo-
Gratis seem not to understand the patriotic
purpose of the American people. In 1868 the
McLeans and the Cincinnati Enquirer sup
ported Vallandigham for Governor under
the conviction that the loyal people were
weary of Abe Lincoln's War" They made
all they could of that issue in a very dreary
period of the war. yet when the votes of the
people Of Ohio were counted the anti-war
candidate was buried under a plurality of
over one hundred thousand. Have the Bry-
ans and the McLeans forgotten the lesson OF
1863. or is it impossible for them to compre-
bend that the American people. like those
Of Great Britain and Germany, are for ma.
tional honor before partisanship?
1t will be much better for Mr.. Bryan to
stick to his dead silver heresy in Nebraska,
since In that State the chances of defeat
will be less than if he forces an issue in
which he is the champion OF a policy which
would delight Aguinaldo.

FOR PARNELL MONUMENT.


NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The movement for
a monument to the late Charles Stewart
Parnell, in which Lord Mayor Talon. of
Dublin. and John E. Redmond. NJ. p, have
come from Ireland to interest Americans.
was given great impetus last night at a
largely attended meeting In the Academy of
Music. Almost every Irishman of local i'm
portance was present. including Richard
Croker and ex-Mayor Patrick Gleason, of
Long Island. The audience received the
names of the distinguished visitors by
standing up and cheering for some mo-
ments. As the cheering began TO subside
some one called out: "Hurrah for Dom
PAUL." The sentiment was a popular one,
and the Boer leaders name was cheered
again and again.

MRS. CRAVEN SCORES A POINT
Court Decides She May Try to Prove
She Is Senator Fairs Widow

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-Mrs. Nettie
R. Craven scored a slight victory to-day in
a branch of her litigation against the Fair
estate. Superior Judge Trout decided that
she is not in any way estopped from claim
ing heirship to the late Senator Fair, and
she may proceed with her action to estab-
lish, if she can, her right to a portion of
the estate as the dead mans widow. The
Fair heirs maintained that Mrs. Craven was
estopped from claiming heirship by the de-
cree of partial distribution granted by
or decided that the three children of Sem
ator Fair were the sole heirs. Mrs. Craven
demurred, Judge Trout sustaining her.
The hearing of Mrs. Craven's application
for a family allowance is set for Nov. 10.
AS all demurrers have been sustained and
issue has been Joined, there is nothing in
the way of the legal battle which will set
tie for once and for all the question of Mrs.
Craven's right to call herself Senator Fairs
widow.

CONFLICT OF TESTIMONY
Develops I'm Connection with q Con-

GENEVA, ILL.,, Oct. 23.-The confession OF
George Bullock, a convict in the Still
water (Minn.) prison, that he murdered two
policemen and Miss Julia Buckmire in &C.
neva fifteen years ago is met here with a
strange conflict of opinion. Most Of the
people think the author of the confession
might have committed all the crimes he is
willing to shoulder. W. A Howell, son-in-
law of Joseph b. Grant, one of the police
men Bullock claims to have murdered. says
he will take steps to have the states at
torney investigate the matter. with the in
tention of bringing the self-confesSed cul-
prit to justice. Hiram McChesney, who
was mayor at the time the murder took
place, says Bullock had nothing to do with
the murder, and Mrs. Frank Hunter, a sis
ter of Bullock, says her father had George
shut up in Jail when the crime was COM

The test of the voting machines in Roch-
ester, N. Y, was so satisfactory that an
other test will be made in Buffalo at the
election in November. The city has pur-
chased 10 machines, for which it paid $780,
OO. This seems a large amount, but it will
be saved in four years by the reduction of
election expenses. The cost Of an election
will be one-third less with the machines.
One saving Is in reducing the number Of
polling places nearly one third But the re-
duced cost is not the most important item.
The machine means absolute accuracy and
makes fraud impossible. while the result
of an election in a large city can be known
in an hour after the polls close. The Jour-
nal hopes that some arrangement may be
made by which voting machines can be
used In Indianapolis and other cities in
the State. The cost of an election is very
great in Indiana because of the cumbersome
machinery. If in any State the reduced cost
of elections by the use of machines will be
sufficient to pay for the apparatus in four
years 1t will be in Indiana.

Mr.. w. d. Howells. who is West on a

ago, and of course was interviewed. Among
other things his opinion was asked as to the
propriety of Superintendent Andrews's ac-
ton in forbidding the reading of Kipling's
"Racessional' in the schools on the ground
that it is too sectarian and violates the
liberal policy of the schools. Mr.. Howells
made this reply: The lines certainly rep

that there is no Christianity in our common
schools. 1t would be manifestly unfair to
the spirit in which the common schools of
this country were conceived and to the
Jews who attend the schools, to admit the

have been thinking? If there was ever a
poem which acknowledged the Almighty as
a power above all and AUST judge-the judge
of the nations-that poem is the Recessional.
1t is a Christian poem only in it's recogni-
ton of God, and does not Mr.. Howells al
