EDITOR IAL PARAGRAPHS.

When man asks you to vote for Bryan,
ask him if be wants the times changed.
Then you will see bis countenance change,
if his face is not made of brass.
Mr.. Bryan has denied that he has made
any selections of members of his Cabinet.
OF course he has no hopes Of election
and he is not making promises on that
line.
If President Mckinley decides to with
draw our soldiers from China, you may
look for severe criticisms from the Demo-
cratic press. So far they have found
nothing to complain of in the Presidents
treatment of the Chinese situation. He has
made no mistakes, so they will be forced
to conjure up something wrong.
What has become of "Coin" Harvey?
He was the most important man who hg'
ured in the campaign of 1896, Mr.. Bryan
not excepted. Harvey was the author OF
the gospel of free silverism as expounded
by the silver orators, and his Financial
School" was the text book Of the Bryan
ties. Again, we ask, what has become OF
"Coin" Harvey?
The BryanItes must be terribly fright.
ened out in Chicago, as they have gone to
violating the Sabbath. On last Sunday
the Democrats held two campaign meet
ings in Chicago, both meetings having
been we'll advertised. Political meetings
on Sunday are new feature in American
politics, and must be a peculiar outcome OF
Bryanism, Altgeldism and Anarchism.
The Richmond Times thinks man can
vote for Bryan and hope at the same time
he will not be elected, without subjecting
the voter to the charge Of being a political
and moral coward. The Times thinks that
a voter at the South can vote in manner
his Judgment and conscience do not die
tate, because of the negro, without being
moral and civic coward. The man who Is
afraid of the negro and votes because OF
that fear, is the greatest political coward
in the land.
In a speech at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, on the
4th inst, Mr.. Bryan, speaking of bis party,
said: "The party stands where 1t did in
1896 on the money question" Every.
body knows where and how 1t stood in
1896. 1t was then and is now for the free
coinage of silver and the destruction OF the
gold stand ard. Why then will men be
foolish enough to say or believe that the
money question is not an important issue
in this campaign?
Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease has declared
against Bryan and will speak in Kansas
and Nebraska for Mckinley. With all
her eccentricitles, Mrs. Lease Is q power
in those two States. Four years ago she
was for Bryan, and the Democrats Of the
country treated her with great respect,
though few years ago she bad been pelt-
ed with stale eggs by Southern Democrats.
It would not do for Mrs. Lease to come
South in this campaign. She might be
treated as she and General Weaver we're
a few years ago.

Manila, Sept. 24.-Senor Buenamino

regarding his peace proposals. Aguinaldo

An insurgent proclamation, signed last
month by Aguinaldo, directing that Amer

NEW FLEET FOR THE ORIENT.
Six Powerful War Vessels Are Ordered to
China.

Washington, September M.-The ex'
pected withdrawal Of General Chahee's
army from China is to be offset by power
f,l naval reinforcements for Admiral Re-
mey. Secretary Long on Saturday after
moon ordered the battleship Kentucky,
the cruisers Wilmington and Albany and
the gunboats Annapolis, Dorothea and
Yicksburg to prepare to sail for Manila at
the earliest possible moment.
Secretary Long said "In view OF the
possibility that later, when circumstances
so warrant, the land forces of the United
States in China will be materially reduced,
the naval forces in Asiatic waters will be
from time to time increased in reference to
American interests in China and also IN
the Philippines. l have, therefore, order
ed the additional vessels to reinforce Ad'
miral Remey."
II was determined at Saturdays cabinet
meeting to order more ships to the Asiatic
station. The purpose in doing SO was, in
the event of international trouble, to be
prepared to protect the treaty rights oil the
United States in China, and the lives ano
property of American citizens there. Sec
retarv Longs statement that in view o.
the possibility that when circumstance vii
iustify it, the American land forces II
China will be materially reduced is taker
to indicate that General Chaffee will soor
be ordered to quit China, leaving perhaps
legation guard in Pekin.
The Kentucky will proceed to the New
York navy yard and the Vicksburg tt

Manila. The Dorothea is at League Island
the Annapolis at Norfolk, the Albany
cruising in the Mediterranean and tn
Wilmington is in South American water

POWERS ARE BOUND.
Military Demonstrations Required and
Troops to Occupy Inland Towns
Boxer Movement Not

Berlin, September 24.-The Austrian
Ambassador here, Count Won Szogyeny
March, in an interview today with rep
resentative of the Associated Press, said;
"There is an erroneous opinion III the
press about Count Won Waldersee's mis-
sion. A number of important tasks await
him. Above all, he must force China to
submit to the allied powers peace condi'
tions. Moral suasion is entirely wasted on
the Government, which, far from being
humiliated hitherto, still INDUCES in the
hope of cheating the allies out of the fruits
of their victories by destroying the har'
mony among them. Won Walders0e must
arrange what military demonstrations are
required, what harbors and inland towns
must be occupied, which points require
expeditions, and which troops may retire
from Pekin. All the Powers are bound to
this programme by agreeing upon Won
Waldersee as commander -in-chief, but
each may reduce or increase its contingent
at will.

Bristol S Carnival.

Some time ago the city Of Bristol, Tenn
essee and Virginia, made arrangements to
hold Carnival or Street Fair. 1t will be
remembered that the affair was called OF
by the outbreak of small pox in that city.
Bristol has again decided to have a
Great Carnival, and for several weeks has
been busily engaged in making prepara'
tions for the affair. 1t will be held on the
4th, 5th and 9th of October.
From all accounts it will be a splendid
show; and the many persons in Southwest
Virginia who have never been able to at
tend such exhibitions should avail them
selves of this opportunity. Bristol will
throw its doors wide open, aud strangers
will receive cordial welcome.

PLENTY OF AMMUNITION.

II is noteworthy, too, that the most
complete arrangements have been ordered
for the maintenance Of the men, while
care has been taken that there shall not
he a shortage of ammunition as there was
in the British legation during the siege.
II is estin ated that about week will be
required to bring the $500 soldiers away
from Pekin, but as the start cannot be
made Immediately, it will be at least about
the end of the first week in October before
the movement can be completed
II is stated at the quartermaster's de-
nartment that there are enough trans
ports available to bring off the foicf
which will come out of China. Three OF
four vessels will be at Taku by the time
the troops are ready to move. Besides
the transports for the men, number o
animal ships will take away the horse
and mules which will not be needed IL

stores as will be necessary to last hil

JOINT ACTION.

Regarding the statement that Won
Waldersee will act as chief diplomatic rep
resentative for the Powers, that, If 1t ever
was intended, has been abandoned. 1t is
possible the Powers may jointly appoint
one plenipotentiary for the settlement OF
their Joint demands, viz; The safeguard
ing of the foreign colonies and missions, to
enable foreign merchants to safely resume
business everywhere in China, and also to
re.arrange the status of the diplomatic
corps. Possibly the Chinese Government
hereafter will be located more inland. Then
the foreign diplomats will either be located
at treaty port, perhaps Tien Tsin, or else
they will use large military protection
GAN of this Won Waldersee must enforce
and also Germany's own special demands.
How these demands will be regulated and
enforced is different matter All the
Powers mean to adhere to the motto NO
further territorial acquisition, but it Will
probably become necessary for each power
to occupy some province or important
point of which the taxes Will be retained
until each is reimbursed for its war outlay.

"With all that we must not forget that
the Boxer movement is not yet dead"
The Lokal Anzeiger prints a special dis
patch from Shanghai saying Count Wal
dersee. after lis arrival at Pekin, will oc-
cupy the Imperial Palace, remove the
dragon flag and hoist his own flag, there
by proving to the Chinese who now re-
gard the allied troops as merely tolerated,
that the allied forces are really masters. "
The inspired Post prints an article which
says:
"The possibility is here considered that
China will refuse Germany's demand to
give up the main culprits. Then torceIul
methods must be employed, above all the
occupation of number of the most I'M
portant points in the country"
The Foreign Office informs the Asso'
ciated Press that France, Austria, and
Italy have agreed to the German note
while Great Britain and Japan Lave moi
vet formally accepted Germany's PROPOSE
ton. The Associate hess learns from
reliable source that there is little doub
but that they will accept.
The Foreign Office this afternoon re
ceived the United States answer.

 The demand for spot cotton is reported very slack and while market is un- changed in price several of the ports show practical declines with small sales. In the face of such conditions the market hRs ex- hibited unusual and we may say unlocked for strength. The indisposition to make shart sales especially in New York with such a scant supply of spot cotton may be reekoned as a factor tending to hold the market so strongly. II docks as though till after the holidays a period of dullness is quite probable and a disposition to even np trades will be quite in order. Reports from many sections tell of rapid marketing of the crop and much discredit is still thrown on the government estimate. The advocates of the large crop theory are in a decided mi nority and hence the crop movement in January will be watched with unusual in- terest As the evidences shall accumulate after New Year to confirm either large or short crop estimates in like ratio We be- lieve the influence will be potent to effect sharp decline or advance, whichever way the movement points, At the moment sell CTS are scarce and with past experience show great timidity on every period of strengths Purchases on all weak periods so far have given profitable results and 1t looks thought this was the correct policy to adhere to.

IRREGULARITY IN
 THE STOCK MARKET There Was Still Evidence of lTr-
 portant Buying VARIOUS CAUSES ARE GIVEN Was Generally Attributed to Opera tions By Large Banking Interests Looking to the Consolidation
 and Control of Railroads.
VARIOUS CAUSES ARE GIVEN

New York December 1S.-The irregularity and unsettled condition of the stock mar ket were due to various conflicting causes. There was still some evidence of the im- portant buying which has been in evidence for many days, and which is now com monly attributed to operations by large banking interests looking to the consoli- datiun of control of many competing and connecting railroad systems. The buying of this kind was, however, distinctly less than for somtime past. Efforts were made by professional operators to give an ap- pearance of continuance of this kind of transaction. The manipulative character of many movements designed to give this impression, because of rather obvious and begot some feeling of doubt and distrust.
 The crop of rumors gathering additional plans for such consolidation still to be put in effect showed some vagueness and were hot free from intrinsic evidences of proba- biltty. In spite of the credulous mood which has recently prevailed in Wall street regarding anything that pointed to con- solidaton, the influence of these moYe- ments and stories therefore lost some of their force. And the consideration was that the option had become well settled in 4 in loans in last Saturdays bany statement was due primarily to the movement to the depesit account.
 The heavy selling to take profits con tinued side by side with extraordinary ad- Napces in special stocks. Of the day special movements, by far the most impressive, was the sustained advance in the stocks, the common rising to 24A, the first prefer red to 579s and the second preferred to 89h
