MR.. BRYAN IN CINCINNATI

Hou. William ]. Bryan Was tae
principal speaker at a banquet led
last night by the Duckworih Club, Of
Cincinnati, in honor OF Jackson Dsy,
the anniversary Of the battle OF NV
Orleans. Democratic leaders from all
over the State held conferences With
Mr. Bryan during the day, joiuiog 10 a
large reception given 10 him az tie
Chamber OF Commerce al noon.
After discussing the Chicago platt0rm
in his speech and emphasizing tie 1910
plank, Mr.. Bryan took up some Lew
questions that have grown OUT OF tee
war, and insisted that the nation a.
not yet decided what to Go with he

opinion from him until he mas hsd

When men are excited they tals about
what they can do; when they are calm,
they talk about what they ough, 20 do.
If the President rightly interpreted he
feelings of the people when they were
intoxicated by military triumph, We
snail appeal from Philip drunk 10

OF the Philippine Islands would violate
principle OF American public law so
deeply Embedded in the American
mind that until yesr ago no pu6ic
man would have suggested charge.
Il is difficult TO overestimate :he itill-
ence which such a change il cur ug-
tonal policy would produce on ile
character OF our people. Annexation
cannot be defended upon the ground
that we shall find pecuuiary prof. n

CHARTER REPEALED The Newport

repealed the franchises Of the Newport
News and Old Point Railway and Elec-

out the old electric railroad to Old
Point from Newport News. Common
wealth's Attorney Newton arraigned
the road severely, and appealed to the
Council TO repeal the franchises, but
refused TO give his reasons. Such im-
plicit faith did the body have in the at.
torney that the ordinance was passed
without dissenting vote. This was
a great surprise to the community, and
the company will carry it into the
courts. President Payne, OF the cleo

Ell SIS follows II wish to con-
graduate you on your prompt action in
maintaining the discipline OF your in

some members OF the board of visitors
to get to Lynchburg on the 12.h, the
date OF the meeting has been changed
TO the 18th of January. The cadets
who We're expelled will at that time
make application individually for rein
statement. 1t is stated that an appli
cation received from them as a class
would be turned down, as that is one
of the points to be made, TO break up
the cabal of e class. The genera
opinion is that the board OF visitors will
be lenient and view the matter as
schoolboy escapade.
Some of the cadets who were dismiss
ed from the institute called on Gov.
Tyler in Richmond yesterday, and
pleaded with him to use his influence
to have them reinstated. The young
men are peniteut, and the governor
said that, while he sympatbized with
them, he could do nothing. The ca
