The plan of settlement of the Chi
nese situation agreed upon by the
Powers virtually makes the distract
ed kingdom a ward of the other ma
tions. This joint protectorate can
lead to nothing but trouble for the
future if the measures proposed are
carried out, which appearsto be ex-
ceedipgly doubtful. In it ell the Dow
sger Empress, Prince Tuan and the
Tsung Ii Yamen are to be deposed,
banished or ignored, all which looks
very we'll on paper. "It's catching
before hanging" or at takes two
to make 8 bargain" seem particu'
larry applicable in the case. Taken
altogether, the situation begins to
resume a place of interest to the
reading public, and this interest
promises to be given material to feed
upon indefinitely.

Porto Rico and the Philippines are
also without representation. They
have representation in their local
government, and are assured of a
continually increasing share in the
duties, privileges and responsibilities
of government, if the Republican
policy is permitted to go forward
without interruption. Instruction
lists like Aguinaldo and his followers
pay no taxes and have no representa-
iton. They are governed without
their consent so far as they are
governed at all. The same has been
true of law breakers and rebels in all
tunes. President Mckinley IS instruc-

At the conclusion of his address, the
Chairman introduced Gen. Charles
P. Mattox, of Maine, veteran of the
Civil and Spanish wars. Gen. Mattox
is clear, convincing speaker, and
had his audience with him from the
start. He said, by way of introduce
tion, that it gave him pleasure to adj
dress an audience which did not be-
lieve in lowering the American flag.
He had fought with that valorous
Jerseyman, Phil Kearney, man who
would not permit the hauling down
of the nations standard Speaking
of the issues of the present campaign,
the speaker reviewed the unsuccessful
history of the Democracy for forty
years, telling of it's tinkering with
the tariff and of the frequent disas-
ters brought upon the American people
by its mistaken policies. The issue
is mere business proposition. Do
you care to put party in power that
has never given a successful admins
tration? He said that now Bryan was
the party, not the Democracy. 1t
was case of Jonah swallowing the
whale. He has created trust, and,
much against the will of thousands of
Democrats, he has made them swallow
the silver pill. He dwelt on the de-
plorable business conditions under the
last Cleveland administration. Speak
ing of the Spanish war, he told how
it was approved of by Democrats who
condemned Mr.. Mckinley for his con-
servatism and apparent slowness in
beginning hostilities; and now, after
he had conducted the war to a success
full termination, they condemned him
for assuming responsibilities brought
upon us by that war.
Edmund Wilson, of Red Bank, fol-
lowed with a remarkably eloquent
speech. He spoke ON the Philippine
question at length, taking up the
Democratic slogan of consent of the
governed. - He asked if Mexico had
ceeded territory with consent of the
if all other territory we
had acquired was with this consent.

In an interview with Thomas Hoag-
land, the Democratic Freebooter from
Rockaway, on Wednesday, he said ;
Business is good but prices are not
quite as high as formerly. AS to
money there is but one kind, and l
am a sound money man. If Bryan is
elected nothing more will be heard of
the silver question. 1t will be
buried. "
On the other hand, William J. Bryan
said on Sept. 16, 1896:
