ROOT TO MAKE A STATEMENT.

The President doesn't like 90 be criti-
cised. He has been greatly worried by
the statements which have been appearing
in the public prints TO the effect that he
authorized Gen. Bates to negotiate a
treaty with the Sultan of the Sulus in
which polygamy and slavery are recog-
nized. 1t was not his purpose TO make
public the text of the treaty until the
document was sent to Congress, but it
seems he could not stand the criticism
which has been hurled at him by the anti
imperialists in the Republican party.
In one of the administration papers it is
denied that either slavery or polygamy is
authorized by the treaty. Just what the
treaty does contain in respect to these two
things is as yet an administration secret.
but It seems that Secretary of War Root
has been authorized TO make synopsis
of it for the newspapers.
1t is said by some of the administra-
tons friends who pretend to know what
is in the treaty, that there is provision
providing for the amelioration of the con-
dition of the slaves in Sulu and for their
eventual freedom. II is doubtful, how
ever, If there is any such provision, for
the reason that the Sultan would hardly
have consented to give up either his slaves
or his numerous wives then or at any flu
ture time, and il is a question if Gen
Bates took up the question with him at
all, his chief desire being to prevent him
at that time from joining the Aguinaldo
instruction, and not to bring about re-
forms.
The time to deal with the Sultan of
Sum will be when the Philippines are
pacihed. The administration that Is IN
power when that is accomplished, whether
Democratic or Republican will inform the
Sultan of Sulu as to the reforms that must
be made in the country under his jurisdic-
ton. But the fact that the time has not
yet come for changing the customs and
practices of the Sulus to make them con-
form to our own would not excuse the
President for recognizing institutions re-
pugnant to our constitution. Therefore
if he has done what some of the news
papers have charged him with doing, in
negotiating the treaty with the Sultan Of
sulu, he will have a pretty hard road to
travel when he begins his campaign for
a second term

And the Juryman Was Right.

A funny story is related of a jurymau
who outwitted a judge, and that without
telling an untruth, says London Tit-Bits.
He came breathlessly into the court:
oh my Lord. if you can excuse me pray
do ! don't know which villa die first-my
wife or my daughter"
Dear me. that's sad" said the innocent
judge. Certainly; you are excused"
The next day the juryman was met by
a friend, who, in symIa lhetic voice, asked
"How's your wife,"
she's all right, thank YOU
"And your daughter?'
she's all right. too. Why do you ask?"
"Why. yesterday you said that you did
not know which would die FIRST
Nor do l. That is "a problem that time
alone can solve"

Brrnn,s Campaign Methods.

A writer in the New York World gives
the following about how William j. Bry-
an makes a campaign speech:
Mr.. Bryan never smiles when in action.
He smiles and laughs heartily off the
stage, but he is most serious before an
audience. He has not many gestures. His
most emphatic gesture Is the elevation of
both arms above his head. then bringing
them down violently when his point is
made.
HE has a trick of leaning his left hand
or elbow on a table, bending over toward
the audience and talking in a confidential
tone, emphasizing his words by thrusting
his right arm out in a horizontal line,
then waving it from right to left and
finally bringing it down suddenly to his
side. He stands erect when he does not
lean on the table legs well apart. and
never walks on the platform He seldom
moves more than two feet from the po-
sition he originally takes
There is not a harsh note in his voice
He has learned to conserve it, and there
is no waste of vocal strength. 1t is meas
ured out to meet the size of the crowd
His sentences are short, aggressive and
expressive.
His English is good and his choice of
words excellent He shaves every day,
weighs 1856 pounds, and despite his life In
the open air his complexion is white and
delicate. Mr.. Bryan does not take strong
drink, eats sparingly, neither smokes nor
chews, and in five minutes after entering
Pullman berth he is sleeping like an in
FAINT.
"He carries dress suit but seldom
wears it. His temper is angelic. he never
srumbles. Always ready to shake hands
and meet all persons, he will cheerfully
retire at 10 p. M, get up at a. m. eaten
a train, stop in a depot at a junction for
an hour, take another train at 4 a. m.
arrive where he is to speak at a. m, go
TO bed and arise smiling at a. m. This
is almost an every-night occurrence.
