has the best end OF the joust with WAN
dering Willie," but the overwhelming
majority of the Democracy OF the nation
hold Mr.. Bryan in higher esteem, il
possible, than before the controversy.
1t can be safely assumed that the gold
Democrats of New York, led by such
men as Perry Belmont and Dick Croker,
will leave no stone unturned to defeat
any candidate for the presidency who
believes as Mr.. Bryan does on the money
question. 1t was therefore eminently
proper for Colonel Bryan to refuse any
courtesy from them on such an occasion.
The silver Democrats OF New York
were also to have $I-feast on Jeffer-
sons anniversary, and as Bryan could
not attend it owing to his presence in
Milwaukee on the same date, the dinner
will be postponed to such a day as will
be pleasing to him. Eugene V. Brew
ster, chairman Of the chief committee
for the dollar banquet, commends Mr..
Bryan for the manly and determined
stand he has taken. In an interview he
says: 'The correspondence between
these two men clears the atmosphere for
1000. 1t brings to crisis the contro-
versy which has divided the the true
Democrats and the plutocrats of the
party, and makes it imperative that the
plutocrats shall get out of the party with
all speed. Those Democrats who line
up behind the platform of the Chicago
convention are real Democrats, and Mr..
Bryan is their ideal. In OUR banquet
none but the true Democrats will par
-ticipate. 1t will be the real Jefferson
gathering"
The Democrats OF Minnesota ad-
mire the attitude OF Mr.. Bryan in this
episode and think the cause of bimetal-
lism in the East will gain strength by
ignoring the silk-stockinged Democrats
OF the Belmont variety.

John D. Archbold, director of the
Standard Oil company, has nothing but
the supremest contempt for the attorney
general OF Ohio and his assistants. On
the witness stand he characterized them
as ours, wlelps and liars" before the
master commissioner OF the Ohio SUI
preme court, who made but a faint eff
fort to restrain him. One Flagg, how
ever had sufficient pluck to talk back
to the Standard Oil magnate and called
him a lowlived dog, though he is worth
ten millions. If any other man had
acted like Archbold he would have been
punished by heavy fine or imprison-
ment. The Standard Oil company con-
trolls the courts of justice and can do as
it pleases.

The news from Manila, as furnished
by the Associated Press, after being sub
jected to censorship, is absolutely UNI
worthy OF credence. Although the Fill
pinos have invariably been defeated and
driven back by our troops with great
loss OF life, it is strange that the author
ity OF the United States does not extend
beyond the range OF Dewey's ships. 1t
is supposed in Washington that our
troops are hors de combat during the
hot weather and are incapable of doing
much damage to the warlike natives.
The reports are evidently made to or
der.

Speaker Reeds private secretary,
Amos L. Allen, says in an interview:
AS to the present war in the Philippines,
Mr.. Reed is simply Disguised with it.
The talk of the Philippines as market
for American manufactures is all bosh.
Every dollars worth of trade that we
could ever hope to get from those ISL
ands will cost us ten. 1t is bad mess,
and the sooner we get it off Our hands
the better. If American troops are
obliged to remain there through the
rainy season they will die by thousands
from disease and heat.

The Chicago Times-TIerald, McKin-

trusts of the Windy City from all blame
in selling spoiled meats to the army,

Eagan, the late commissary. If Eagan
is guilty of culpable incapacity, why did
Mckinley retire him on a salary of
$500 year? A queer way of inAicting
a penalty for dereliction of duty!
