They Supported Lincoln Once as They
Support Mckinley Now.
Mr.. Bryan has opened a Pandora
box in quoting SO profuseIy from Lin
coin. Not only was Lincoln arraigned
by the Democrats in 1854 as acting
the part of an emperor and sitting en-
throned in the White House," but her

mined movement in 1854 to turn the
German Republicans against Lincoln.
Lincoln, of course, could only expect
the denunciation of the copperheads
who thought the consent of the gov

of the rebellion. The unkindest cut of
all was that Republicans should 60 off

were Boutwells in that day. Tney

of being carried off on tangent had
coolly and calmly reviewed the situa-
ton. They saw the folly and fraud in
the cry of imperialism against Lincoln
and the preposteIous dogmas about the

state of New York and read what the
New York World, q leading Demo-

From the annual report on the saw

415.370 new depositors took out hooks
last year. The total deposits were in
creased by SIS, s53, 0O4 over the total
of the previous year.
The savings hanks of New York re-
port 2,036,017 depositors. They are
creditors of the banks for money on de-

huge sum of $3.50, 44S,277.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot reach the

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-

Tyso Plsiklpplne Policy 70 Fully
and Su00lnofly Stated.
A. Against Bryan's General Idea Of .
stable Government, the Repub-
licans Place Their Pro-
gramme in Full.

Certain Democratic and emi-Demo-
cratic papers are much troubled by an
alleged lack of an affirmative Republic
can policy in the Philippines. 1t is true
that the Republican party now ooccu'
pies pretty much the position Lincoln
held at the time of his death in re.
spect to reconstruction, namely: that
it is not absolutely and irretrievaply
committed to any policy. 1t is to
considerable extent feeling its way.
and the policy in the Philippines will
be not to deal with some events and
problems until they arise. At the
same time the administration has an
nounced and declared general policy
of clear and comprehensive character.
The Philippine commission in its
proclamation to the people of the ISL
ands gave clear and comprehensive
outline of the general policies of the
administration. They were in sub.
stance as follows:
ID The supremacy of the United
States to be recognized throughout
the islands.
a. The fullest self.government to
be granted which is compatible with
a just, stable, effective and economical
administration and with the sovereign
authority of the United States.
(3.) The civil and religious rights
of the Filipinos to be assured with the
equal standing of all before the law.
a. An honest civil service with
the natives preferred. No exploitation
of the people.
(5.) Honest collection and disburse-
ment of taxes. Local funds not to be
used for other than local purposes.
co. A pure, speedy and effective
administration of justice in the courts
with protection for the rights of all.
e. The promotion of railroads and
other means of communication and
transportation.
49, Domestic and foreign trade
and commerce and the promotion of
native industry to be the constant pur-
pose of the United States.
co. Ample provisions for free schools
in which the children of the people
will be educated. Appropriate facili-
ties also for higher education.
Q0.) Reforms in all departments of
government, all branches of the public
service and in all corporations closely
touching the common life of the people,
to be undertaken speedily and executed
conformably with right and justice.
Pledged to these purposes the Unit.
ed States warned the rebellious Fill.

less than five per cent of the popula-
ton, that they could accomplish moth

own ruin
