Devoted Considerable Attention TO I'm.
periaIiSm
REFERRED TO THE PORTO RICO QUESTION.
He said the Administration had put Tsri,i
on Porto Rico Articles al 1he Dictate
of the Sugar Trust.

Over 300 voters heard Mr. Bohmrich
speak at Turner hall last Saturday. The
auditorium was tastefully decorated for
the occasion. That the gubernatorial
candidate was appreciated was evident
by the hearty applause Taking up the
Philippine question he argued at great
length to show that the war with Agui-
naldos soldiers was the result of fight
between rowdies of the two armies, that
Aguinaldo wanted to stop hostilities
but Gen. Otis said no, and the war be
gan and was being prosecuted to satisfy
the greed of the money power He de
clared that trade would follow the flag
in its homeward journey, while the fac
tory would follow the flag on the out
ward journey to get close to the raw
material and to take advantage of the
cheap labor in the Philippine islands
sending the manufactured article to this
county to beat the American working
men.
Abraham Lincoln stood for the Dem
ocracy of jefferson" exclaimed Mr.
Bohmrich, and William Jennings Bry-
an stands for the Repubicanism of
Abraham Lincoln"
Taking up the subject of militarism he
said there was no rich farmers in Ger
many except the large land owners. Ev-
cry farmer carried n soldier on his back
He declared that the large standing ar
my in Germany originated the same as
it was now proposed to originate it in
this country, You must take the Fill
pinos either as subjects or as cijlAans,
exclaimed Mr.. Bohmrich. You do not
want them as citizens when you are not
willing to take the negro citizen into
your families.
Taking up the Porto Rican question
ha declared that the president had vio-
lated the code of morality he himself
had laid down and extracts from The
Milwaukee Sentinel and Chicago Times
Herald while the Porto Rican Tariff bill
was pending in congress and criticising
that measure. He quoted from Con-
gtessman Littlefeld Feb. %, 1900, in
which he declared the Porto Rican bill
Republican and unconstitutional.
Speaking of the subject of trusts he de-
clared that the Republican admiuistra-
iion had gone out Of its pathway in the
Porto Rican question mt the demands of
the Sugar rust. Taking up state issues
he spoke of the Tax commission and de
clared, if elected governor, he would
find way go equalize taxes.

In one of the audiences which he

OF ice cold milk and then went out to
the garden. This is quaint with box
wood hedges which are reputed to have
been set out more than century and a
half ago. Beyond this is the old well

1T was very refreshing. In the coach
house is Washington's carriage. In

river is summer house, and it is q
charming little place. At ten minutes
of one the bell rung for the boat. An
other was to leave at I've, but as 1 had
seen all there was to see and knew there
would be an awful crowd for the later
steamer, returned home on that one,
thoroughly satisfied with Mt. Vernon
and the way in which I had spent La.
Dor Day. went alone for Miss Dun
ming and her uncle and I failed to make
connections. They went later on the
street car and returned on the boat at
five o'clock. 1t would have been much
pleasanter to have had company, but 1
got along nicely and as l went with the
crowd saw everything.
Mt. Vernon is certainly lovely place
and SO historically interesting, yet do
not think SO much of it as l do of Ar.
lington. Your sincere friend,
Edith Durham.

a Letter from Washington, D. o.

Washington, d. O., June q, 1900.
That more than a month has passed
since left Manchester I can scarcely
realize except when think of the time
l last saw all the home friends, then 1t
seems months instead of q month.
suppose that the days go by fast be-
cause 1 am busy the greater part of the
day and am having such an enjoyable
time. Neither can realize fully that
am 30 far from home and although
Washington is much like my magma
ton pictured 1t from descriptions yet it
sometimes seems not true that I am
really in the capital of the greatest ma
ton in the world,
But am here for at least six months
and feel very fortunate that 1 am se-
cure in my position, as at least fifty per
cent. Of those who take the examination
fail and many who pass, do not go to
work because they have not the back
ing necessary.
When I see all the beautiful and In
teresting sights, how 1 wish all my
friends might see them too. If the
Sunshine Club will plan to come while
l am here, l shall be delighted to show
them the city. 1t will take at least two
good weeks and then fear they will go
awayfeeling that they have not seen all.
l find this to be place that one can not
take in at glance.
What is most interesting to me, and
most people say the same, is the grand
old capitol. l don't wonder the Amer
ican people are proud of it as we'll OF
this whole city. The most beautiful
building of course more modern than
the Capitol is the Congressional Library.
A description of it, especially one of
mine, wouldn't give you the faintest
idea of 1t. l was told before seeing the
interior that when l entered l would
think was in heaven. hope heaven
will be somewhat different but certainly
its beauty is something wonderful.
Lam beginning to learn the ms an
outs of Washington, but the streets and
avenues 1t seems to me run in all direc
tions. Of course this is not true. The
streets run east, and west, north AMI
south and the avenues diagonally. BUTT
isquite confusing to strangers. There is
SO much bicycle riding here, for the
streets and avenues are broad and we'll
paved and shaded with the most besuti-
full trees.
The street car rides one can take are
simply delightful. And BY transferring
