All the essential difference between Mr..
Bryan's programme in relation to the
Philippines and Mr.. McKinleyis consists
in the fact that the latter proposes to re-
tain them as American islands for the
present at least while the former proposes
to place them under an American pro-
tectorate Both propose first of all to
establish stable government. How
long that VIII take nobody knows. It
may be done in four years, it may
not be done In twenty. But after 1t Is
done Mr.. Bryan proposes that the United
States shall stand guard over them. That
certainly Is not giving them independ-
ence. 1t is a form OF control by the
United States different in appearance
from Mr.. MoKinley's, but in substance
very similar. In both cases the United
States are practically to dominate the
islands. The American people viii never
think OF making Mr.. Bryan President
on any suoh paramount issue as that.

A great deal of credit is due to the
Hon. George M. Seiders, the member of
the State Committee from this county,
for the judicious management that has
characterized the campaign in this vicin-
ity. The meetings were exceptionally
well arranged, and there were no bitches
or disappointments in any OF them. The
work OF the campaign was carefully sys-
tematized and carried ia a triumphant
conclusion. Nobody unless he has had ex-
perience knows Of the many perplexing
questions which have to be met ana de-
cided in campaign OF this magnitude.
The opportunities for mistakes are many,
but it is only the truth to say that If Mr..
Soldiers made any errors they have not
been apparent

generally recognized that Coler is the

a plurality for Hill Of from $4,000 to
30, 600. No comfort can be got out OF
that for Bryanites. There is an increase
Of the Democratic vote, but that means
simply that some of the Democrats who
sulked in 1896 have got over sulking.
There were as many Democrats in the
State in 1895 as there are now. The only
difference is that more Of them have
voted this year. 80, 600 Republican plur-
ality is far above the Republican average.
In years when the Democrats have elect
ed a President the plurality in this State
has always been at least 10, 900 below this
figure. In 1884, for instance, 1t was
10 615, and in 1897, 10, 5O3 Never has a

The best t,pitaph.

Some one wrote to the editor OF the
Pall-Mall Gazette, asking what was the
best eptaph written within the last
century. The reply was that the best
epitaph was one which its author. the
Primate Of Ireland, sometime Bishop
of Derry. had inscribed on the wall OF
Derry cathedral in cOmmemoration or
a young curate. 1t is as follows
Down through our crowded walks and
closer air,
n friend. how beautiful thy footsteps
were!
When through the fever's heat at last
they trod,
A form was with them like the Son OF
God
Twas but one step for those victorious
feet
From their days path unto the golden
street:
And we who watched their walk. 50
bright. so BRIEF.
Have marked this marble with our hope
and grief.

The great increase this season III the
price of ice makes it prohibitory for the
