Bryan's Keen Wit.
(JOurnal of Agricultural

The following incidents occurred
during Mr.. Bryan's tour Of Nebraska,
and are good examples OF his keen
wit, quick repartee and scatching in
vective:
Near the close of his speech at
Falls City, a Republican in the
audience arose and denied that Presi-
dent Mckinley desires to retain the
Philippines, whereupon. without
moments hesitation or the least show
of embarrassment, Mr.. Bryan quoted
this sentence from one of McKinley's
speeches:
II cannot permit myself to doubt
that these islands will be retained
under the benign sovereignty OF the
United States"
The Republican next declared that
most of the Filipinos were in revolt
against Aguinaldo.
"Are you not flattering Aguinaldo
too much" asked Mr.. Bryan, ..when
you assert that with handful OF men
he cannot only subjugate his own
race, but hold in check and frus-
trate great American army?"
(Cheers.)
A third time the man broke in to
declare that the trade of the Philip
pines is valuable. Bryan rose to his
full height and his eyes flashed fire
as he thundered:
II dare you to measure the lives
of American boys and the heartaches
of American mothers by the paltry
dollars and cents of commerce; l
dare you do it!''
And the crowd went into q veri-
table paroxysm Of applause. Then
the man declared that Providence
was leading the United States to the
Philippine Islands. He had not long
to await his answer.
"Ah, my friend" came the reply,
Il never yet cornered an imperialist
who did not finally lay the blame on
the Almighty" daughter and
cheers.)
III you, my friend, were half as
anxious to be on the Lords side as
you are to bring Jehovah down from
Heaven to bolster up the Republican
party, you wouldn't be here advocat-
ing an abandonment OF the Declara-
ton of Independence. You are not
preaching the Gospel Of the Prince Of
Peace. You're preaching the in
fernal gospel Of conquest and murder
and death"
The orators last words were
drowned in q tempest of cheers. The
imperialist disappeared. And SO
will the doctrine Of Imperialism when
measured by the enlightened intelli-
gence OF American citizenship.

THE RACE QUESTION.
No Better in The North Than In the
South.
(kaleigll Post. J

(halelSn fOSt.
That the Northern press and peo-
pie are beginning to realize the
gravity OF the great problem the
Southern people have had to con-
tend with, without sympathy, is evil
denced by the following from the
New York Eveming Post. We have
not been accustomed. to have the case
stated so truthfully, however, and
this from our New York contem-
porary becomes the more significant.
And not the least significance to be
attached to this expression is the sug-
not alone involved in this great prob
lem, and that other States must pre-
pare to meet it along with the South.
The Post has copied number of arti-
cles from Northern papers showing
the change that is going on through
out that section on this question,
none have met the issue more point
edly, or Justly than the following:
1.-The race problem, or Southern
question as it is oftener called, is
presented to US again in Prof Booker
Washington's annual report Of the
Tuskegee Institute, which, has ust
come to hand. Before examining 1t
we are moved to ask why this should
be called the Southern question.
The social status Of the negro is not
better in the North than it is in the
South. The negro has no better op-
portunity to earn his living here
than there. He is not better liked
here than than there. Probably a
negro postmaster would not be shot
here if there were one, but if the con-
ditions in the North were the same
as in the South, we should not like to
give bonds for the safety of negro
office-holders any more than for the
safety of negro coal-miners in illinois.
In short, the difference between the
two sections which justities us in
calling the race problem the Southern
question is physical, not moral.
There are more negroes in the South
than in the North. The two races
are brought into closer contact with
each other there than here, and as
time goes on and population in
creases, we apprehend crowding and
friction with consequences more dis
astrous than those which attend the
growth Of homogeneous race.
Whether we call it the Southern
question or the race problem, we OF
the North cannot escape our share OF
the consequences; 1t is the United
States problem, and it is large
enough to engage all Of our spare
time and all of our spare money"

part of the treaty nor 4 condition of

time there were few outsiders in the
Transvaal and there was no reason to

England, therefore, was not con-

ger and his people did intend to do as
he had said is shown by the fact that
for years after the treaty was signed
the naturalization laws OF the Trans
vaal were far more liberal than those
of the United States; but when in

district "was followed''-to use the

must see, that if they admitted these
British goldseekers to the franchise
they would soon be outnumbered and

We don't believe in monopolies and
the Transvaal has been most unwise
in establishing them. But suppose
the State of South Carolina were to
create monopoly in dredges-the
dredges used for marine phosphate
would that warrant the
British government in intervening in
our affairs on the ground that this
monopoly bore hard upon its subjects
engaged in phosphate mining? Mr..
Chamberlain contentious as to the
dynamite monopoly in the Transvaal
constitute an analogous case.
Barring the dynamite and certain
other monopolies, and high tariff
which we ourselves endure without
gold miners to pay the duties-the
Uitlander miners were not heavily
taxed. They paid to the Transvaal
government only % per cent. of the
product Of their mines, while Canada
makes our citizens pay 10 per cent.
OF the product of the Klondike mines.
BY the way, if Fair Play" is right,
why shouldn't Americans who have
opened and control most of the Daw-
son City mines be admitted to the
franchise because of their numerical
superiority and the investments they
represent? And then why shouldn't
they organize a provincial govern
ment and annex the Klondike country
to the United States9 To be really
fair we must apply this touchstone:
