WHAT HE COULD DO.
A Republican Question Answered in
a Way That Permits OF No
Argument.

what could Bryan do to end the
Philippine insurrection more than Nc
Kinley is doing?" is frequently asked
and the addition follows close: The
United States has got the Philippines
and has got to keep them. We can't
let GO"
In his speech of acceptance Bryan
answered this question in a way that
makes argument on the other side i'm
possible. There is no hesitation, no
doubt, no equivocation in that answer.
Il will call an extra session of con-
gress to declare the policy of the
United States to give the Filipinos
first, a stable form of government;
second, independence and third, pro-
lection from interference by any 9TH
er nation"
This is the policy outlined in the
democratic platform. The object of
the Philippine Instruction, the only
object, is to gain independence for the
Filipinos. The promise of independ-
ence will end the instruction at once
by removing its cause There will be
no flag furling." no surrender of
American principles" no "base yield
ing" in such a course, as those heated
with their taste of empire are wont
to declare. Such a course will be a
return to the American principle of
freedom and liberty for all men, from
which no departure should ever have
been made. 1t will not be flag furl-
ing" The American flag will wave
more proudly than it waves for none
but freemen. There will be no con-
fession of weakness. The nation
which in a few months brought a
first-class power to suppliant knees
can lose no prestige nor admit defeat
by giving a weaker n .tion its rights.
Such a policy will not only show
the nations of the earth the stuff Of
which Americans are made. but it
will give an example which Will do
more for the preservation of the peace
of the earth than Hague peace confer
ences and ironclad treatics.-St. Louis

Predicts Defeat.

Robert Treat Paine, of Boston, lineal
descendant of the signer of the Declara-
ton of Independence of the same name,
predicts that the republicans will be
overwhelmingly defeated in the COM
ing campaign. The campaign, he says.
will eclipse that of 1896, and gives
promise of a new era in politics. He
says that the issue, as announced. and
expressed in Mr.. Bryan's speech of ac-
ceptance, has cleft the republican party
in twain. The Cotton Whigs.'" he
says. who condone slavery beneath
the American flag as their fathers con-
doned the attempt to- extend slavery
into the free territories of the west,
may pull wires and manipulate men
without backbone, but they cannot
control men like ex-President Harrison,
ex-senator Henderson. of Missouri, ex-
Speaker Thomas B.. Reed, ex-Secre-
tary Carl Schurz, and ex-Gov. Bout
well. The republican party, which be-
gan its career in the defense of liberty,
prostituted to the service OF money as
against the rights of men, and New
England will not be silent"

A DREAM BESIDE THE SEA.

One night beside the sea I fell asleep an.
dreamed a dream;
Alone afioat within a boat, while brisk
winds blew abeam,
l saw the white-capDed surges dance he
meath the silver moon,
with winds, clear waves, the silvered sky
and my own soul in tune;
And drifting so and rocking slow there
clearly came to me,
With meanings new and stories true. the
voices OF the sea-
In its grand chorus came the drowning
sailors last sad wall,
anon the CHEEKY shouts Of those who
friends in passing hail;
the music of a maiden's tones who with
her lover sailed,
The voice of one who sought the Pole
tenaciously and failed;
And there were sObs of wives bereaved, of
sailors orphans sad,
Or happy pIeasure-seeking crowds, and
youthful lovers glad.
Vikings known of old,
The sturdy hail of Spanish braves who
searched the west for gold,
The battle shouts of Nelson's men at red
Trafalgar heard,
The bold d~eiances which rose when other
strifeS dreaded cry,
The Buccaneers rough rasping yell, the
Pirates dreaded cry,
Inc SnrlekS and means OF battling braves
who for their country die.
The sweet TIE Deum which arose when
bold III led
His ~navigators through new worlds with
strong and conquering tread,
The hymns which fishers wives send out to
guide their husbands home,
The shrieks for help from shipwrecked
throngs that pierced heavens arching
dome.
The sigh of scented breezss drawn through
tropicsf1ower and palms,
The murmurs of the coral caves in peaceful
ewes and Gains.
All these and more so long in one grand
thunderous sound concealed
Came then distinct and clear to me in that
bright night revealed;
And then I knew the mighty deep in shout,
and Sob, and laugh,
Was but a million memories voiced, a
mighty photograph.
Twas then my soul and senses knew what
plainly came to me,
Revealed in whispers soft as silk, in an
thems full and free,
That all these garnered sounds made up
the music of the sea.

the rest of the things down." said he,
getting to his feet and making ready
for bed. Just you start out the first
thing after breakfast tomorrow morn
ing and get everything you want, and
if you ever hear another word out of
me about extravaganza, then I'll be
talking it in my sleep, that's ALL"
Mr.. Jobson got up OOH after dawn on
the following morning I touch the
button for a pitcher of ice water, and
Mrs. Jobson woke up at the same time.
In walking around the room, with one
hand to his head, Mr.. Jobson caught
sight of the list he had made out on
his return from his initial Mamie Tay-
lor sitting lying face up on the bu-
reau. He picked it up and looked al it
as if it were an Egyptian papyrus.
Whats all this? 90 he asked Mrs. Job
son.
why" said Mrs. Jobson, that's the
list of things you made out for me to
buy in Philadelphia to-day-don't you
remember?"
Mr.. Jobson looked over the list care
fully, turned it upside down and studied
it from hat point of view, held it out
at arms length to see how it appeared
at a distance and then regarded Mrs.
Jobson sternly.
Madam" said he. in a deep, sepul-
chral tone, Tn not a man to complain
over ~trifies, and no manu stand more
at the hands of a wife than l will. But
when you do such an unscrupulous
thing as to put some kind of a sense-de-
stroying drug into the glass of ice wa
ter that I take before going to bed, as
you must have done last night, then I
rebel, Mrs. Jobson, and I rebel hard!"

Labor Prior to CapitaI.

Labor is prior to and independent OF
capital. Capital is only the fruit of Ia
Dor and could not have existed If labor
had not first existed. Labor is the SUI
perior of capital and deserves much the
higher consideration. Capital has its
rights, which are as worthy of protec-
ton as any other rights. Nor is it de-
MED that there is, and probably will Ill
ways be, a relation between labor and
capital, producing mutual benefits.
The error is in assuming that the whole
labor of community exists within that
neutrality-suspicious. Lincoln.

1t (the republican national ma.
chine) is undertaking by every means
to disturb the business of the coun-
try. to undermine confidence and to
create a state of public sentiment
which might, under certain condi-
tions, lead to panic. 1t is doing this
without sufficient cause, simply to
gain a party advantage and without
regard to the consequences which may
follow. 1t is apparently ~endeavoring
to work up a panic, to unsettle
finances and to promote a feeling of
distrust which may prove disastrous.
This is the republican policy in 1900
a policy which involves a wicked dis
regard of the business interests of the
country-a narrow and selfish policy
which would withhold prosperity
from the nation unless the republican
party is retained in power.-Baltimore

George Z. Townley, for thirty-five years
q member of the firm of Fred p. Rush &

denly yesterday at his home at 1903 Broad

Yesterday morning Mr.. Townley COM
planned of not feeling well and informed
his son of his ~indisposition. which was
thought to be only a slight illness and
would soon pass off. His son left the
house and a short time a~fterward the col
ored servant noticed sounds Of unusually
heavy breathing coming from Mr.. Town
ley's room. She tried the door and found
ir locked. Very soon the heavy breathing
ceased and the woman looked over
the transom. Not long after this Morris
Townley arrived at the house and upon
hearing the report of the servant broke
open the door. Mr.. Townley was lying
on the bed, and the body showed evidences
of death nearly an hour before. DIR. p. III.
Jameson was called and he pronounced
apoplexy as the cause.
Mr.. Fred Il. Rush stated last night that
the partnership which had existed with
Mr.. Townley was practically ended yester-
day morning, but that no written agree
ment had been made. The papers were
awaiting Mr.. Townley's signature when
his death was announced.
Mr.. Townley was fifty-nine years of age.
He came TO this city when quite young
and has since made this his residence.
He was twice married, his second wife
and two children surviving him. Mrs.

ments have not yet been completed.
