London, Oct. l5.-No words can ex.
press too strongly the irritation Of the
British foreign Office over the latest de.
yelopments in the Chinese situation and
its hopelessness Of any settlement being
arrived at in the near future exceeds if
anything its irritation, the chief cause
of which, to quote an official, is the extra
ordinary and unreasonable publicity given
diplomatic communications even before
they are officially known to the other
powers.
America, according to the view taken
by the official, whose opinion may be pre-
sumed to be Lord Salisburys, is among
the offenders in this respect. "How,' con
tinued the informant of the Associated
Press, "can we be expected to arrive at
conclusions when the Chinese are given
the opportunity Of knowing every step
in the negotiations, which in themselves
are as intricate as the world has seen. The
advantage which this unprecedented pub,
licity has given the Chinese can not be
over-estimated

 8. That in June, 1896, the congress of the United States, at the request of the legislature of the territory, based upon a petition of representative citizens of Yavapai county, passed an act specifi- cally validating and putting beyond question, as it had the righ. 70 do, the validity of these obligations.
 g. That the facts concerning these much discussed bonds do not cores pond with the utterances of Mark Smith and the democrats who are aid ing him in his campaign. Do the peo- pie want facts, or malicious misrepre- sentations?

Mark Smith continues his policy of misrepresentation of Governor Murphy. He hasn't come within a mile of the truth concerning the Yavapai bonds since he kns been on the stump, and there is no indication that he intends to change his course. Mark will find that his policy of mendacity won't avail him anything. The people like fairness. A candidate who villifies an- other behind his back IS ncs fit to oc- cupy a seat in congress.

 1. That two district at torneys of Yavapai county at intervals under different conditions, officially de- clared tkat 'these bonds were valid obli gations of Yavapai county.
 2. That two boards of supervisors. at intervals of about three years each said by official resolution, that these obli- cations were valid, and recommended their funding to the loan commission of the territory.
 3. That Col. J. F. Wilson, when att torney general of the territory. unoffi- cially on at least three different occa- sions prior to 1897 said that the bonds were valid and that ultimately they would have to be paid.
 4. That Judge Wright, of Tucson, who defeated before the supreme court of the United States the Pinal county bonds, and Judge w. H. Barnes, who sought to maintain their validity in that case, one a republican. the ether d democrat, said with emphasis during the progress of that case that the Va vapai bonds unquestionably were valid obligations of Yavauai county.

What is happening to Bryan now is simply the inevitable. The people of
 the country have found
 THE out that he is precisely
 PEOPLE Ghe same man that he
 ARE was four years ago,
 "ON." and are going to defeat
 him for the same reas ons that led them to defeat him then. In justice to him it shoald be said that he has not tried to make it ap pear that there has been any change in his general character and political principles. Efforts of that kind hav5, been confined to ovcrzeaIous new re- crufts, noigaToly Schurz, Cochran, Shep- ard and Olney. These in their anxiety to justify themselves for supporting this year the man whom they de- nounced as the incarnation of national ruin four years ago, invented a re formed character and sought to clothe him in it. For a very brief period he submitted passively to their opera dtions. but he soon threw aside th2r preferred mantle in disgust and stood forth once more fin puris naturalibus" as the real and only Bryan.
 It is this revelation which Is account able for the steady and impressive drift of independent support to Mckinley which Is in progress now. The volume of this is so large it is impossible to keep a full record of 1t. It includes all the ablest of the gold democratic lead CTS in 1896, the entire reputable German press and all the genuinely independ- ent independents of the country. We say genuinely independent independ- ents to distinguish them from such professld independents as Carl Schurz who, In their furious devotion ;o one idea, have become the most intense unfair, and vituperative of partisans Every real independent and every sin cere Gold democrat has realized from the contemplation Of Bryan's speeches during the past few weeks that he has no other issue than the old one oi Bryani;m.

If the people of Phoenix are dissatis- fled with the census figures reported from Washington this morning they must remember that thousands of them went away last June, when the census was being taken, without leaving data for the enumerators. No wonder the returns are unsatisfactory. Phoenix has a much larger population than the census bureau shows, and it might be well for the city to arrange to have an other census taken now. in order thG', the oity may not suffer from the ridicu- lous showing made in June.

PHILADELPHIA's LOG CABIN.

The only log cabin in Philadelphia is to be torn down to make way for the widening of Mermaid lane. near Chestnut hill. The old cabin. which stands at the corner of Mermaid lane and Germantown avenue, has been in constant use as residence since 1t was erected by Christopher Yeakel in 1I43. It is a one-story structure. built entirely of hewn logs. and for many years has been one of the picturesque sights of upper Germantown. It is still called the Yeakel cottage, and ai- though more than a century and q half old, it has always preserved a cozy and hOmelike air. It is said to be the only survivor in this part of the coun- try of a style of dwelling that once prevailed almost universally outside the cities and towns.-Philadelphi Record.

after another that his new supporters told him would be useful, ana has thrown them all aside, as worthless, returning with buoyant enthusiasm 10 the one issue that is close t0 his heart, class hatred. His recent speeches are full of this, and it is not surprising that they are alarming the whole country. Why should so intelligent a journal as the Chicago Record have to await the advent Of these soeeckos before dis covering that his character is UT changed? Was not the insstence upcn the reaffirmation of the old sixteen to one platform proof enough? How any body could have doubted that we have never been able to understand, but many pretended to do so. Most ot them have had their doubts removed now, and the result is a steady increase in the drift toward Mckinley which makes his election more certain with every days advance.
 While Arizonians are debarred from part in the contest, the principles in-' volved concern them deeply. The cleo tion of Mark Smith would show Arizona Ito be in sympathy with the principles which in the states are bound to be showed under on election day. 'Ari- zona. which needs money and popula- tion, cannot afford to take such step. It is of vital importance that the re- publican candidate for delegate. N. O. Murphy, who stands for the principles represented by William Mckinley, be elected. We are confident that the people of this territory will place Ari- zona in the republican column next month.

CHANGES IN THE SOUTH SEAS.

If the young man can escape the al lurements of idleness, he can find in Tahiti and her hundred sister islands the foundation for a stupendous for tune. The soil of all the islands is of the most productive quality, and is es- pecially adapted to the cultivation of coffee and vanilla, neither of which has been grown to its fullest extent in this group. The peculiar soil gives the coffee a flavor unknown in Amer ica, and I venture to say that the enterprising American who takes Ia hiti coffee to a foreign market will reap bOunteOus reward. There is a coffee bean of inferior quality that grows wild, and the listless native would rather use the poor wild berry than work to cultivate d superior kind. Or give him a cheap American bean already roasted, and he is infinitely more happy. Anything that saves the native Tahitian labor, that will ha bless. Vanilla flOurishes in the South Sea island soil and climate, and spi, S would thrive if properly cultivated. Here. also, grows the cocoanut, for for which a hundred uses have been Commissioners.

WHY PA IS ON THE FENCE.
Big crops,
 Few Pops.

The pictures of the candidates are hangin' everywhere; They're gettin up processions and there's music in the air; The banners stretch across the street most every block or so; The papers they are tellin how the 'lection's sure to go; Some of them say McKinley's vote is bound to be immense. Some say that Bryans got it sure-but pa he's on the fence. f They're holdin' meetin's in the halls and everywhere around, And men are focking there in droves and gettin' held spellbound; They talk about free silver and the dangers it would bring, The orators jump up and down and jaw like anything. The folks are mad and shakin'fists: ma says the strains intense, For lection ain't so far away-but pa he's on the fence. The Joneses they're republicans; the Smiths are democrats: They used to run together. now they fight like dogs and cats: They talk about prosperity and what expansion means: They scold aboIi, the army and about the Philippines: But pa he runs a grocery and he says there ain't no sense In gettin one side mad at you-so he keeps on the fence.

bOuThe COcRranI knOWlnSly or course. uses the old fallacy that the Fil-
 ipinos are a nation.
 COCK That is his false pre-
 RAINS mise. The Filipinos are
 BAD not a nation, but a
 LOGIC. group of dissimilar and
 discordant tribes speak ing different languages, having no un- ity of sympathy or political relations, foreigners to each other and in some cases enemies to each other.
 Such group of tribes is not a nation. They do not resemble Cuba, or Poland, or Greece, or Hungary, or Italy, or Switzerland, CT any of the South or Central American republics. They re- semble in a political sense the tribes of the Indians when the white man came to this country. The Indians were not a nation, and the Filipinos for the same reason are not a nation; and because they are not a nation, they can never govern themselves under one self made and independent government that will be a government of liberty and progress. One tribe may form an olig- archy and govern by oppression and cruelty, but it is doubtful if the Taga- logs, for instance, could ever rule in peace. The other tribes would be in constant rebellion. The Tagalog tribe has any way no right to rule the other tribes, being only a minor fraction of the entire population.
 If it Is despotism for us to establish a civil government there, then we have never been anything else but despots. Then our forefathers who came over in the Mayfower were despots and their sons were despots after thempin sub- jugatlng the Indians and taking their land. Then this nation has been a des- pot ever since in governing the Indians and dwelling on their lands. Then Washington was despot in extending our borders westward and northwest ward. Then Jefferson was a despot for paying s150OO,OOO for Louisiana and governing it without the consent of the governed. Then Jackson was a despot who paid s5OO0,OOO for Florida. Then Polk was a despot who bought New Mexico and California for $1S,000, 900. Then President Pierce was a despot who bought the Gadsden territory for S1O,0OOOOO. Then Johnson was a des- pot who paid s7 100000 for Alaska The people of all these land were aliens and none of them were consulted or their consent asked, when the United States government annexed them.

WILL NOT ADVERTISE.

The Yale authorities will not proceed against the whisky establishment that is making an unwarranted and unwar- rantable use of the Yale seal, lest their efforts may serve to advertise the whis- ky. The Yale attitude on this subject is, as the Boston Herald suggests, like that of the man who said he didn't ob- ject to being cowhided on the street by an actress, but that he did object to being used as an advertising medium for her show.
