as his opportunity and fairly Numbered
that II we had race troubles now IL was
good reason why we should not go across
the sea after new ones. Then he added
with an air of apparent self-satisfaction: :
Il am not only in favor OF giving the
negroes in South Carolina every right to
which they are entitled under the law, but
| am also in favor of giving the negroes
OF Omaha every right to which they are
entitled under the law. which they don't
get under the present police administra-
tion by any means
Mr.. Hitchcock contended that the Philip
pines have never been annexed and de-
clared the people have a right to say
whether or not they shall be annexed.

Mr. Rosewater challenged him to cite AM

submitted to a vote Of the people or any
BODY else except the senate He declared
that President Mckinley is the same kind
OF despot in the Philippines that Jeffer
son was in Louisiana, Jackson in Florida,
Polk in California and New Mexico ana
Abraham Lincoln when he put down the
rebellion.
There was but once when a hiss was
heard in the audience. 1t was in the dis
cussion Of the Sulu treaty, when Mr..
Hitchcock declared that this treaty had
never been ratified by the senate, be.
cause 1t was not a. treaty, but simply an
agreement between President Mckinley and
the sultan OF Sulu, two despotic poten-
tatos,' some Kisses followed the express
sion. Mr.. Hitchcock referred to the prose-
cution Of the war in the Philippines as a
crime which the people will repudiate at
the ballot box.
The best evidence that this govern

responded Mr. Rosewater, "is that man

OF American citizens and talk sedtion and
treason without being called to account"

Mr. Rosewater let no question OF Mr..
Hitchcock go without an answer and de-
voted fair share Of his discussion to the

tarism, but 1t was in vain that Mr. Rose
water sought to get an expression out Of
his adversary on the silver question even
after Mr.. Rosewater quoted some editorials
from the World Herald, wherein It had
favored coinage of silver in dollars that
would contain 100 cents worth of silver

TALLY as heretofore, by showing that all
steps taken against trusts had been by
republicans and that the administration
could have done nothing 10 the case OF the
Beers without arousing international ami

peace. Mr.. Rosewater did not neglect to
close with reference to the money ques-

glory Of the flag.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-One Of the largest
grain houses in the trade reports that it's
business has been seriously upset by the
unexpected advance in the rates. Heavy
grain acceptances yesterday, 1t was stated,
had to be Cancelled because on applying
for rates none could be made for October
shipments. In justification of this refusal
to accpet further consignments at Buffalo
during the remainder Of the month rail-
road men claim the railroads between here

that additional grain business could not be
handled.
1t is thought that the railroads desire

proposed to keep ~. He wanted no al
liances which could to any extent make
him dependent upon interests other than
those for which he himself stood. The
death OF Mr.. Huntington, however brought
about a complete change in the situation.

his associates. including James ]. Hill and

Duty TO Loyal Citizens.
In reference to editorials from The Bee
Of 1898 quoted by Mr.. Hitchcock, Mr. Rose
water said that when the government an
nexed the Philippine islands 1t became the
duty Of every loyal citizen to respect the
treaty, which Is higher than the constitu-
tion. The democrats, including the World
Herald, favored ratification of the treaty,
but are now crawfshing.
Mr.. Rosewater declared that the doctrine
OF the consent of the governed, now so
much harped upon, was not thought of by
Jefferson, when for three years ne WAS alb
solute monarch of the Louisiana purchase.
Under the instructions of President Nc
kinley to the Philippine commission, the
Ftlipinos enjoy as much rights as the in
habitants of any Of the territories have en-
joyed. II Bryan is sincere in his oppos-
tion to the annexation, he should have op-
posed the treaty instead OF helping to make
1t. In his control OF the Filipinos, the
president in pursuing the same course that
has always been pursued in the government
OF dependent territory and he would be sub
ject to impeachment for neglect of duty
were he to fail to endeavor to maintain
order and put down insurrecton. He re-
| ferred to the fact that the people of the
District OF Columbia are governed without
| their consent and cannot elect O consta ble
and yet Bryan never raised any fuss about

former sympathetic eloquence the cause OF

given the same assurance as the Cubans
there would never have been war, and
that the war would cease were such as

[From London Tit- Bits

An officer named Vinton was cele-
brated in his garrison for winning every
bet None of his comrades could boast
of ever having been successful and at

day Vintcn was transferred to another
regiment, but the fame of his peculiar
luck had already spread before him. At

comrades on the evening of his arrival.
and when the champagne made it's ap-

Topeka High School Team Wins
Football Victory Score 80 to 0.
The Lawrence high school football
team was shut out in a closely contested
game OF football at the Washburn ball
park Saturday.
The boys from the ATHENS of Kansas"
have a good team only for the fact that
the men are rather light. But the To-
peka team is still better They played
circles all around the Lawrence team.
The pigskin was in the possession of the
Topeka team nearly all the time and the
game was a series OF runs around the
end for from three to thirty yard gains
The interference of the Lawrence team
was poor although they would at times
get together and block an attempt to
make gain by center rush.
Lawrence, when in possession of the
ball, would invariably lose it again in
a few moments because she failed to
make the required gains
1t was a. pretty sight to see the Law
renee boys hurl themselves against the
Topeka team, but they could not bulge
the line. Topeka stood like a stone wall
Topeka made the first touchdown in
