The fifth volume in the library edition of
appearing from the press of Little Brown & Co.
OF Boston, contains Philip Nolan's Friends:
A Story of the Change OF Western Empire" In
a new preface the author has some interesting
things to say The with Spain has
PEELED us. he remarks. to look back on our early
history, TO ask why the people in the Southwest,
at least, distrust Spain LAS believe" he adds,
dence is in the history which follows in the
readers hands In the year 1901 Philip Nolan.
a citizen of Kentucky. had organized a company
of nearly twenty Southwestern to go into
Texas commission from the Spanish Gov
ernor Of Orleans. On March 30, 1901, this same
Philip Nolan killed by the Spanish Gov
ernOr of Texas, who knew that he had a pass
of the Spanish Governor of Orleans. His
rades were taken prisoners, and languished in
New-Mexico for the next ten years. In 1907
they were made to throw dice for their lives
and Ephraim Blackburn who threw the lowest
cast, was taken out and shot. This done
to men who were in Texas on their legitimate
business, with the authority of the King of
Spain" The recital Of these and other familiar
facts certainly lends added verisimilitude to the
story that follows Nevertheless, If this new
edition of Phillip Noans Friends Is welcome,
II is chiefly because the book exhibits DR.. Hales
narrative powers at their best, because 1t is
good story well told. This edition of his col
lected works is good In form.

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
TWO SPEECHES BY w. JENNINGS
BRYAN.
tBy Telegraph to -Proto

(By Telegraph to VirginianP ilot0
Columbus. Ohio Sept. 1.-THE Ohio
Democrats opened their campaign here
day with a meeting in the after
noon at C;oodale Park and in the even
ing at the Goodale Auditorium. Will
liam Jennings Bryan made speeches at
both meetings, and there was large
attendance OF Democratic leaders from
all parts of the state.
MIR. Bryan spoke for an hour and a
quarter in the afternoon, and he APP
peared in good condition despite his
loss of sleep last night. His audience
numbered many thousand persons. and
they gave close attention as We'll as
frequent cheers. The speech WAS n
general review of the political situa-
ton, anu il was evidently intended to
set the pace for the campaign in Ohio.
Mr.. Bryan said:
Measured by the principles for
which the party stands, there is every
reason why the people of this State
should support our ticket and if any
feel like being restrained by a mat
ter of State pride you should rcmem-
Der that you have had Presidents
enough for this State to satisfy rcas-
enable pride, and then one term is
long enough If man does what he
ought TO, and If he does not. it is too
long.
eff the laboring man wants arbitra-
ton as q means of settling differences
between labor and capital, he is told
by the Republican party that as long
as he has n full meal he does not need
anything else. If the laboring man
protests against government by in
junction. the only answer he gets is
full diner pail
My friends. If the Republican party
wants to make its full dinner pail ar
gument let il go into the anthracite
coal regiori;. where the operatives get
less than $3.50 a year. This mornings
paper contains the statement that the
wages paid TO miners will in some in
stances average less than $3.50 a year.
Why, my friends. that will not give
the laboring man one fun dinner pail
81 day. and he ought to have three.
(Applause) I am afraid that when
the Republican party was not looking
the lid of that dinner pail flew off ana
some coal got into the bucket. ana
understand 1t is coal that weighs
nearly twice as much per ton as The
law requires, and the Republican
party. when II goes TO blow it out, will
have to do IL with powder that is sold
10 the miners at s2.75 q kcs. when it
is only worth $l.50.
