Switches His Issue.
Bryan and Bry anlsm Punctured at an
Enthusiastic Meeting Held at the
Commercial Mckinley Club
Ia Chicago.
Three thousand people tried to crowd
into the quarters of the Mckinley Com
mercial Club in Chicago. Sept. Is, to see
and hear Senator Hanna. On that occa-
sion Senator Hanna made the following
speech:
l take for my text Mr.. Bryan's views
on the minor issues Of the campaign as
set forth In his letter OF acceptance pub
lished to-day. Just before the Democrat
hc convention at Kansas City many pill
.Erimages were made to Lincoln, Neb., by
Democratic missionaries at the urgent
call OF Mr.. Bryan. This was for the pur-
pose Of putting Bryan's pet scheme of
Tree silver In the platform.
But IL you remember correctly, that is
sue was only placed in the platform by a
majority Of one vote of the committee.
Nov Bryan has relegated the silver issue
10 the rear, and brings out Imperialism as
the chief issue. Bryan gained this issue
when the treaty was made with Spain in
which the Philippine Islands were pur-
chased. He went to Washington and by
his own influence forced certain Demo-
cratic Senators to adopt the treaty, in
erder that the Democratic party might

The Monroe doctrine is founded purely
and simply on the determination on the
part of the government of the United
States that no foreign country should in
terfere in the western hemisphere. Mr..
Bryan would do what? Spread il all over
the world and we would stand behind and
defend it. What do you call that if it
isn't Imperialism? As result OF that
procedure we would find ourselves in
volved in all kinds of foreign wars. "a

Bryan Switches Issues.
But Mr.. Bryan has already been driven
from his position on Imperialism. He

beginning-that 1t was only one rooster
that he was going TO put In the pit, and
he Would fight it as long as he could

the laboring people of this country against

GENEROUS ESQUIMAUX.
All the Game Captured by a Hunter
Ii Equally Divided Among His
Neighbors.

Lieut.. Peary tells very interesting
story about a little band of Esquimaux
who live on the west coast of Greenland
between Melville bay and Kane basin.
These are the most notherly human be-
ings on the face of the globe, and in
many ways they live almost like ami
mails. Their only property is clothing,
weapons for the chase and food, which
consists entirely of meat, blubber and
blood
They have no vegetation of any kind,
and not even pinch of salt Lieut..
Peary has this to say about these queer
little people: rs il to be wondered
at that under these circumstances
man offered me his dogs and sIeds and
all his furs for piece of board as long
as himself; that another offered me
his wife and two children for a shining
knife, and that a woman offered me all
her possessions, which she had collect
ed for years, for neeoHe?"
These people are very generous. and
all the game captured By a hunter
is equally divided among all his neigh
bors. They have their own kind of ath-
letic entertainment, too, which includes
wrestling, boxing and tests of strength
