stronger men around him. In other
words. Mr.. Bryan Will at least be cap
tain of his own ship. and Mr.. Mckin-
ley will not.
SecOnd.-Because Mr.. Bryan is the
only presidential candidate who has
explicitly based his canvass on the
ground that considerations OF principle
are above considerations of finance and
that. in other words, financial sys-
TENS can he altered with less danger
and less disturbance to the country
than the vital doctrines upon which
free government rests" Speech at
Topeka, Aug. 23)
Third.-Because he is the only one
who has expressly rcaffirmed, as in his
Topeka speech. the principles which
made Lincoln immortal. that TO apply
the doctrine of equal rights only To sd
perior classes or races is the van
guard Of returning Gespotism' and is
movement we must rcpulSe or it will
subjugate us
Fourth Because he has had the wis
dom to see that every presidential cam
paign must turn on some one leading
principle and that just now that vital
issue is to he found in imperialism. BY
Imperialism is meant the acquisition OF
territory with view t. making il sub
ject ana tributary and not with a view
10 making il 4 self governing ana com
pOnent part OF the American Union.
That such empire is now the rccocniZ-
ed aim Of the present administration is
at length officially recognized in the
recent circular of the United States
military government i'll the Philippines

school superintendent for aid and ad-
vice in the civilization of this new
part OF our empire.
Fifth.-Because he is the only one
who distinctly recognizes that the
practice Of such imperialism-of the
doctrine. in other words. that we have
a right TO plant our flag wherever we
please and that once planted it must
never be lowered or withdrawn-ap-
plies just as logically to Cuba or China
as 70 the Philippines and is as likely TO
be applied there and that this process
II unchecked can only end in vaster
armies. ever increasing pension lists,
higher and higher taxes. ending a last
in an oligarchy of rich men and in the
disappearance Of the republic of Jefer-
sor and lincoln Every vote for Mr..
Bryan IS vote TO avert this end.

Ply All old hunter and naturalist of To-
cal rcpute Al story has been told here
confirming as absolutely true and trust
worthy the published account. which
has had few believers until now, OF
how foxes rid themselves of fleas. The
fox, according to the book narrative.
simply backs slowly into 4 stream of
water with n portion of the pelt of 4
rabbit i'll his mouth after the fox has
made meal off the rabbit. The water
drives the ficas first up the foX's legs
and then toward his head and finally
out on the piece of rabbit fur. ana then
the fox drops the fur and his pests are
done for.
The local hunter and naturalist re-
ferrcd TO. strange to say. had never
heard or read this story when he told
of the actions of the fox which he OBJ
served in the waters Of the Patapsco
river. The little animal. he stated,
backed into the river slowly with so
much deliberation that he wondered
what it meant. 1t carried something
he did not know what-in its mouth
and dropped the something when out
in deep water. Then the fox hurried
away. The object left ficated near to
the observer, and hc hauled il ashore
with stick. Fleas literally swarmed
through the object. which was found to
be bit of raw rabbit fur. The OBJ
server had Il pulling mystery explain
ed TO him. He says his admiration for
the shrewdness Of the fox grows more
and more rs he grows older and learns
his ways.-BaItimore sun.

The prospects of Democratic success
grow brighter every day. The con-
science Of the country is aroused. The
Republican policy of sarcasm and eva
sion does not satisfy the voters The
facts as TO the conduct of this admins
tration cannot be concealed
Imperialism persists in being q live
issue in spite of Republican efforts to
put the silver scare to the front As
Bryan said, a question like imperial
ism that affects the very foundations
of government is much more important
than some possible financial legislation
which can be changed by any congress
If not satisfactory to the people.
Now the Republicans are trying tC
make the people believe that the cleo
tion OF Bryan viii Immediately disturb:
the financial system of the country
They neglect 10 mention the very obvi-
Gus fact that no matter If Bryan is
elected and with him q Democratic
house the present congress has still tie
short session In which to amend its
gold standard bin in any manner it
pleases.
They also neglect TO point out that
the senate cannot possibly get Demo
cratic majority until two years hence
aud not then unless the people prefer
It. Tie whole Republican course is
and is losing Mckinley
votes that he sorely needs.
