Bryan Mt Columbus Ohio.

w. ]. Bryan spoke In OhIo's capital
May /. Fully 10000 people were In the
building to hear him. He was firm ia
his statements and was positive that /,
would be unwise to make any depart
ure from the position of the party in
1896.
Scores OF Democrats who voted against
him In 1886 gathered about him after
the speaking and assured him that they
are for him 10 1900. His tour through
Michigan and Ohio has been 40 sue,
cessful that he Is assured OF reunited

The Beers have at no time had an
army OF more than 10000 men. and the
war has cost England an average Of
s3,625 for each OF those men. They
still have an army sufficiently large To

and occasionally capture detachment
I" his troops. Now, what will be the
cost to England per man Mt the end OF
the war with the end far, far down the
road OF time.

THE Ohio Republican platform which
may be taken rs an advance edition Of
the national platform, says this of trusts:
I'VE insist that injurious combinations
shall be forbidden and so-calIed trusts
shall be SO regulated from time TO time
and be so restricted as 10 guarantee i'm.
munity from hurtful monopoly and as.
sure fair treatment and protection to
all competing industries.n 1t being IN.
derstood that this plank was written by
the man who said: TRUSTS don't do
any harm, they ought to be left alone, /"
makes the whole thing read like the
bitterest irony.

THE case Of Senator Hoar Is precisely
similar to that OF President Mckinley.
He sets forth his belief In the highest
ideals Of statesmanship and patriotism.
He declares In behalf OF common de-
cency, justice and humanity and makes
q powerful appeal for political righteous
ness. He shows up the imperialistic
policy OF his party In all its hideousness
and denounces It. And then, having
no Grosyenor to speak for him, he
speaks for himself and declares that he
is ready to indorse the infamy which
he is arguing against by supporting the
Republican party. Atlanta Constitu-
tion.

Oae On Sheup.

A good story Is being told about SEN
ator Shoup of Idaho. When the gen.
eral land Office was being removed from
its old quarters in the interior depart
ment to the building formerly occupied
by the postoffice department, great
many laborers were employed tempo
rarily for the service. Senator Shoup,
who had some business before the land
Office, went first to the old building and
when he found IL had moved, went
across the street to the other one. The
first person he met was the man who
had been employing the laborers, and
as he started to go In the man stopped
him, saying: "We have got all the men
employed on this work that we want
now, old man. / am sorry, but can't
give you anything to do here now"
Senator Shoup, who knows how to take
a joke himself. smiled at the official and
said: "My term AS United States SEN
ator does not expire until the 4.h oil
next March, and during that time am
not looking for another job" 1t Is need.
less TO say that the official who had
made such mistake nearly fell in a
faint and is still kicking himself

WHEN trusts are to supply $50, 900, 900
campaign funds for the Republican

masses believe that plank in the plat
form for their destruction is anything
more than a paper platform. The con-
tribution Of $50 600, 900 will make many
Of its benefciaries believe that trusts
are the most benevolent institutions on
earth, and they will not be overly anx-
ious to kill the goose that lays such val
liable golden eggs.
