JULY FOURTH.
The DAY Passed Quietly In Ardmore
with Little Doing.

WIFI LkLLAS OOAD%s
The grand and glorious Fourth.
the day of days on the American
calendar, was usbered in with a
slight shower at an early hour this
morning, while the banks of clouds
resting on the horizon and hang
ing low from the canopy of the
vaulted heavens gave propitious
aueuries of a day of gladness for
farmers and business men.
And such it has been. By 9
o'clock it was raining briskly and
for the first time in weeks streams
of water flowed down Main street
to the drain near the depot. Bus
mess men we're delighted and
stood about in groups discussing
the probable effect of the rain on
the grain and cotton crop.
This being a national holiday
all public buildings were closed.
The banks did not open. the post
office grudgingly opened for an
hour in the forenoon, while dis
trict court stood adjourned from
yesterdays session until 9 O'Clock
tomorrow. The lnarShal's Office
and the Jail alone were open fol
business.
Pursuant to an agreement signed
yesterday most of the business
houses closed at noon to allow the
business men and en- ployes to cele-
brate the nations birthday and
take mid week rest.
But there was nothing in Ard
more to interest the crowds and
those who could took advantage OF
the attractions in neighboring
towns and left on the early trains
Tor Gainesville and Oklahoma City
to spend the day amid scenes of
festivity and celebration.
While the day was extremely
quiet, the satisfaction felt over the
splendid rain made the day less
tiresome and monotonous than il
wonld otherwise have been.

Turn Table in Operation.

The new turn table which the Penn
sylvania railroad has had under pro-
cess of construction at their yards in
the East End during the past two
months, will be completed and fully
equipped for service by this evening.
The stone work was finished several
days ago and since that time the iron
and wood work has been constructed.
The completion of this turn table
will enable the Pennsylvania r. r. to
turn their own engines without hav-
ing recourse to the and dong all the
switching on Second and Front streets.
1t means that the amount of switching
and consequent annoyance caused by
the shifting of ten engines a day will
be eliminated This will certainly be
appreciated by pedestrians and driv-
ers who have been compelled to wait
heretofore until the switching and
turning of the engines were finished.

MORAL TREASON.
sRYAN's SPEECHES AGAINST RE-
TENTioN OF PHILIPPINES.

Plea Made That His Utterauc-s Are Not
v olatirg the Drn ,uioa "f Tr-ason
In The Copsiitution OF the United
States.
Mr.. Bryans speeches and declara-
tlons against the retention of the Phil
ippines are regularly circulated from
the headquarters OF the Filipino junta
at Hongkong His statement that. if
elected, he will Immediately convene
congress for the purpose OF contract
ing the national domain and giving up
the Philippines to Aguinaldo and his
Tagalos. is giving the fragnentary in
surreotion new lease of life.
Mr.. Bryan's words have the same
effect as though he should send a mes
sage to Agulnaldo something like the
following: Keep UP your insurrec-
tion little while longer. Keep on
killing our Lawtons. If am elected
president, your case is won"
1t is obvious to all Intelligent men
that Mr. Bryan's course takes him
perilously near the definition of trea-
son. as set down in the national con-
stitution: Treason against the United
States shall consist in levying war
against them. adherlne to their enc
mics, giving them aid and comfort.
Mr.. Bryan may not be levying war
against the United States, but he is
most certainly adhering to our enc
mics, giving the latter aid and com
fort and by this means aiding them
in levying war against us. 1t is an
odd thing to find newspapers like the
Washington Times, Democratic to the
core, ingenuously pleading that the
laws for the punishment of treason Id
not reach Mr. Bryan's case, that he is
not technically guilty of this great
crime, and that he could not be con-
victed and hanged on the charge.
1t is probable that this contention Is
true. 1t does not seem that technically
Mr.. Bryan is guilty. but morally he is.
From his grave the brave General
Lawton speaks. The American peo-
pie can not too often read and ponder
the words of this beloved commander,
written but few weeks before his
death, in letter to a friend in the
United States:
IF am shot dead by a Filipino bull
let, it might be as well come from
one Of my own men. because know
from observations confirmed by cap-
tured prisoners that the continuance
OF fighting is chiefly due to reports
sent out from America"

BRYAN'S FALSEHOOO.

In one of Bryan's acceptance
speeches. he stated that leach month
OF 1900 shows larger total of failures
than the corresponding month of
lS99,' but the trade journals have it
that the business failures for the six
months of 1900 have been the fewest
reported for any similar period for
Is years. The August report shows the
smallest number of failures of any
month for IL months past, with the
smallest liabilities.

UNCLE SAM WILL SET PACE

For the Nations of Europe In the Set

PendiDe--The United States to the
Front, AS Is Proper and Right at Anv
Tune
If there be any hdebound Demo-
crats who have been following the
lead ofthe yellow journals of Democ-
racy up to this time; and still believe
in a secret alliance" between the
United States and Great Britain, they
will now be disabused of that idea
The diplomatic situation with regard
to China puts quietus on that ridic-
ulous Democratic lie.
Russia's proposition for the evacu
alton of Peking, her disavowal of any
territorial designs upon China, met
with hearty response from the Unit
ed States, while it spread dismay in
European capitals. Russia is the one
country whose ultimate designs are
viewed with most suspicion by other
European powers. st. Petersburg di-
plomacy is always inscrutable, and
often unexpected. This latest move
has evidently taken the chancellories
by surprise. The prompt adhesion
given it by the United States proves
that the government at Washington
is acting with an eye solely to the
best interests of China, and the pres
ervation of our rights there. Were
there any secret understanding or ALI
ance OF interest with Great Britain,
Russia proposition would have been
declined.
The English press does not like Rus
sia's move nor its support by the
United States. The weight of London
opinion is that Japan will follow the
lead of the United States and that
France will be reluctantly compelled
to side with Russia to preserve her
alliance with that nation. Austria
Hungary and Italy must side with
Germany, thus preserving the drei-
bund. Great Britain hence fiabters
herself that while she is, like the
other nations, opposed to the Russian
proposition, the situation is such as
to throw the balance of diplomatic
power into the hands of Lord Sails
bury and that compromise will re-
suit, which will be supported by Eng
land, Germany, Austrla-H Hungary and
Italy.
1t is proftless, however, to specu-
late upon the probable tergiversations
of European diplomacy in this matter.
One fact stands out reasonably clear
that the temporary military alliance
of the powers is at an end. This
means that active hostilities are over
and that future proceedings will be
carried on through diplomatic chan
nels rather than by force of arms
That is, unless some nation deter
mines to make a territorial grab, in
which case no one can give forecast
worth reading. For the United States
our proposed course is announced
We do not desire the partition Of
China and our troops will be kept
there as measure of precaution, tc
guard our own interests, while a set
tlement is reached

ARE AMERICANS TRUSTWORTHY

Can not the American people trust
themselves to do right with the Phil
ippines? With congress rests the re.
sponsibllty for the final. definite de-.
cision, and the people elect the con-
gress. The Republicans trust fully in
the power and purpose of the people
IN this regard, and that "the great
majority OF the country desire with
the utmost earnestness that the essen
tial rights of the islanders shall be
observed and protected" Every "anti.
lmperialist' doubts and distrusts the
people in this respect. Bryan's In
dianapolis speech is one long denial
that the people can be trusted. Why,
then, should the people trust him?

DUTY OF CONGRESS.

Congress alone can control the final
disposition of the Philippines, and its
right and duty in that respect have
been studiousiy recognized by Presi-
dent Mckinley from first to last. He
has performed only his bounden duty
in the interval to protect the property
OF the United States in the islands and
to restore peace and order and obedi-
ence, with the army voted for that
purpose by both senate and house
Democrats and Populists. as well as
Republicans. What else could he do
and do his duty?

troops in the capture of Manila. 1t is
astonishing that any one could sup

fact is that the Filipinos followed our
troops into the city, in the expectation
of looting it, and they were held back
at the point of American bayonets
from entering the walled city and the
business section.

One solitary complaint has come to
hand that Mckinley times are not
prosperous. 1t proceeds from Dead
wood, South Dakota. where gold MIN

than it was four years ago. while coal,
coke. iron, copper, have doubled in
value.
