Mr. Brvan Has Grown.

Every day it becomes more evident
that Mr.. Bryan has grown with the last
four years.
The Pittsburg Post declares that he
has not lost his hold upon the people.
In the four years since the struggle
OF 1896 he has traversed the country
from end to end. addressing thousands
upon thousands of listeners OF every
shade of political belief and the result
is an overwhelming confidence in his
downright and upright sincerity OF
purpose. And his many frank utter
ances as appearing In print have only
tended to strengthen that confidence.
Honesty and sincerity, then, are gener-
ally recognized as making up a large
part of Mr.. Bryan's character.
All of which is true. 1t was COM
planned during the democratic nation
al convention that there was but one
voice-that of Bryan. The complaint
might have gone further and included
all conventions. There was not one
held in which Bryan's personality was
not felt.
Bryan is the great American of to-
day.

Figuring on the Cost,

The Boston Post. too, Is figuring on
the cost of our experiment in the colo
NAL line In the retention of the Phil
ippines. Here are its conclusions:
Careful figuring shows that the Philip
pine islands up to date have cost the peo-
Pile of the United States in money just
about $lS6. .67S. .00) This Is not the final
cost, for the account is still running at
the rate of about $4,000 a day. The
ar.ount thus figured includes the S20.0c0.-
00e paid Splin for the ficuon of ''sov-
erc.gnty," the cost of the reveral COM
missions, and of administration In Manila
as well as of the actual lighting.
The Post seems to think that. entire
ly regardless of the valuable lives that
have been sacrificed. the price In
money is rather high for job lot of
Asiatic islands which we would not
have taken as a gift before the war
with Spain.

A Republican View.

The following from The Globe-Dem-
ocrat shows the trend of modern re-
publican thought on very important
matter:
General Gomez wants nobody except
revolutionists to he elected to the forth
coming constitutional convention. lie
would shut out all Spaniards. This Is
wrong course to take. The SpanlardS on
the whole represent a solid element or the
population of Cuba. 1t would be mis-
take to exclude them from representation
In the convention. All ingredients oil the
population of the island should be repre-
sented. The laws which Will be made Dy
the new government, when II comes VIII
be laws for the whole island. and all the
people of the island should be allowed a
hand In the framing of the government
which will make the laws. The CuDans
will be making a bad beginning II they
antagonze the Spanish element of tho
people Of the island
Then what an extremely bad begin
ming the people of the United States
made when they began to organize
their government. They shut out the
tories and British sympathizers and in
some instances confiscated their prop
erty. In those days it was as much as
torys life was worth to show his
head and display his colors.
And yet the tories represented "a
solid element" in the colonies. They
were people of influence and wealth;
they were merchants and business
men; and they were opposed to inde-
pendence, not only because they were
loyal to the crown, but because opposi-
ton to Great Britain would disturb
our business interests"
There is no more reason for the Gu
bans to permit Spanish loyalists to
participate in the formation of their
government than there was for the
patriots to invite their enemies to join
them. Such a course In the colonies
would have been disastrous to Ameri-
can liberty.

lieve were the Inspiration of all the great
policies of their party. Much as we may
regret the decision Mr.. Boutwell, has
reached, much as we may disagree with
the reasoning which led to 1t, he Is entf-
tied to credit for sincerity and to the
respect which belongs to an honorable
opponent.
Republicans organs ought to realize
that nothing is to be gained by the de-
nunciation Of those who disagree with
them. In the very nature Of things
there are bound to be differences upon
political questions, and every man
who does not look at things as Sena-
tor Hanna does is not necessarily a
wicked man or a bad citizen.

HOW Teddy Was Called Down.

1t was during the heat of the war
between the United States and Spain
that Former Secretary of War Alger
performed one service to his country
for which he should be remembered.
The occasion was the receipt of this
epistle:
Santiago. July %. lS9S-Dear Mr. Secrc-
tary. / am writing with the knowledge
and approval of General Wheeler. We
earnestly hope that you will send US
most of The regulars. and at airy rate
Riders. who are AS GOOD AS ANY
REGULARS. and THREE TIMES AS
GOOD AS ANY STATE TRCOPS-to
Porto Rico. There are / 500 effective men
in this division; If hose who We're left
behind were joined to them. We could land
at Porto Rico In this cavalry division
TIoNAL. GUARDS. armed with black
powder. Springfield OF other archaic
weapons. Very reSpectfully.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
To this insolent insult to the brave
young men in the field. Secretary Al
ger sent the following reply:
Your letter of the 23d is received The
regular army. the volunteer army ard
the Rough Riders have done well. but l
suggest that unless you want to spoil the
effect ana glory of your victory. you make
no lnNldlOuS COMPARISONS. II iNC0hl l

advantage In their arms. for which they
ought to be very grateful.

Secretary of War.
This correspondence shows up Colo
mel Roosevelt In the light of an arrant
swaggerer. devoid OF all soldierly in
stincts. and carried away with his own
conceit
The Atlanta constitution., 1900-09-03

republicans have a race to deal with
entirely different from the whites OF
che south; in the third place, the re-
publican programme has no political
animus behind tit is carried out de-
liberately and in cold blood.
That programme Is to give the Gu
banssjust as little independence as pos
sible. and to turn the resources OF the
island over to the syndicates which are
putting up funds for the republican
campaign fund The carpet-bagger
is in Cuba to stay for a considerable
spell, and his friend the scalawag Will
be found arm-in-arm with him. Wnat
a pity it is that the political rehabili-
tation of Cuba should have fallen to
the lot of party which has fully COM
mitted itself to a policy OF Imperial
robbery and extortion!
We are not criticising General WOOD.
We have a sincere belief that. II left
to his own devices, he would conduct
the Cubans to an independence at once
genuine and lasting; but in this bus
mess General Wood is not his own
master. He Is not as free as he was
at Santiago. His responsibilities have
a political aspect; he must obey orders.
Corbin may have been soldier at
one period of his career, but
today he is politician engaged In
carrying out the orders of politicians
who, in turn, receive their orders from
those who represent the trusts ana
syndicates.
General Wood is a man of fine IDEAS
and impulses, but he must execute
without comment the orders that go TO
him. Hence he is in nowise respon-
sible for the miserable tugglery that
will end In embittering the Cubans by
making mockery of independence.

NEGROES TO SUE THE CITY
Damages Asked by Blacks Injured in
New York Riot

New York, August &--Seven claims for
damages against the city have been fiIad
with Comptroller Coler by colored r,e,,
who assert they were dubbed without
cause by the police in the recent race
riots.
Six claims are for $4,000 each and the
seventh for $4,000. The filing of them
is the preliminary step to bringing action
against the city in the supreme court.
