White Pass and Yukon railroad.
Mr.. Morehouse had nothing to saw on
the matter and local officials had heard
nothing of it. 1t is known. however,
that Mr.. Morehouse has been working to
such an end for some time and several par
ties, intimate friends, state that he was
successful and that he returned to Seattle

New YORK for Bryan.

New York State swept into line
with the Democracy OF the nation
under the leadership Of MIR. Bryan,
and former Governor Hill regained
control OF the party machinery in
the Democratic State Convention
last Tuesday.
The one supreme note Of that
scene was loyalty to the great
leader OF the Democracy,
Without dissent ng voice the
Convention instructed its delegates
at large-David B. Hill, Edward
Murphy, Richard Croker and
Augustus Van Wyck-to vote in
the Kansas City Convention for
Mr.. Bryan.
There was no hesitation, no
sense OF pre- 5sure, no trickery in
this unanimous Endorsement.
Many of the men who voted last
Tuesday for obstruction" were
bitter opponents oil Mr. Bryan four
years ago.
The Chicago platform was not
indorsed, but the convention
pledged the support OF the party
in New York for any platform
adopted by the National Conven-
ton,

Mr.. BYnum Rejected.

The nomination OF w. d.
BYnum, Of Indiana, to be a general
appraiser failed OF confirmation
last Tuesday. There was only
briei discussion Of the nomination
IN the executive session. Mr..
Bynum's name stood at the head
of the list OF nominations. and Mr..
Fairbanks said that rather than
cause other nominations to be un-
acted upon before final adjourn
ment he would consent to a ballot
being taken. The vote was 35 to
50.
Mr.. Bynum is a Gold Democrat
who supported Mr.. Mckinley in
1896 and who was given the ap-
praisership as a reward for his
services. He vas opposed in the
Senate because he was nominated
as a Democrat, the FIVE appraiser
ships assigned to Republicans
under the law being alraady filed,
and it was claimed that he ought
lot to be charged to the Demo
crati: party. Many leading Repub-
licans took the same view and
joined the Democrats in opposi-
tion.

bankruptcies and consolidation oil
breweries have become daily oc-
eurreuces, and the number Of
newly formed brewing companies
in the hands oil receivers and OF
companies who are unable to pay
interest upon their liabilities are
increasing at an astounding rate.
And all these deplorable condi-
tons prevail at time OF general
prosperity in all other lines oi bus

The convention adopted reso-
lutions to make compulsory can

and also in favor Of joining the
Pure Food Congress in its efforts
to create Federal legislation to
control the ingredients that enter
into the manufacture OF brewings

alone; it is a patriotic Administration,
and will do the proper thing at the right
time Now here was a complete
reversal of the view imposed on those
who had got up the meeting.
After the meeting, Mr., Davis d.sap
peared with the mobility OF a Boer
commando. None OF those to " hom he
was so accessible before the meeting,
could locate him. Occasionally a nom
committal letter reach, d some inquirer.
Later Mr.. Davis loomed up at New
York meeting, And here again was the
convenient qaestion, and here again
came Mr.. Davis with the pat reply
mckinley is all right" He IS further
reported as having said that there were
those close to Mr.. Mckinley who were
responsible tor his failure, and who
should be ''got rid Of" This he denies.
Now "where is Mr.. Davis al?" What
game is he playing? His resignation
was, in itself, a protest against the action,
or non-action, if you please, of the
Administration. But he says Mr.. Nc
KIuley is "al right. If he stood by his
reported assertion that there we're others
who were all wrong, we might under.
stand how there was to be an Alger-Iike
sacrifice OF John Hav. But that surmise
has been disposed Of by his denial. AS
a factor IN the Boer cause, Mr.. DAVIS
etaced himself. But I confess he is to
me an interesting psychological study.

Senator Teller, Of Colorado, declared
on Monday that he would not support
the Republican party in the coming
campaign. He made his declaration in
the course OF a speech upon the Philip
pine policy of the Administration, which
he opposes.
Mr.. Teller criticised the speeches on
the same subject delivered bv Senators
Beverldge, Lodge and Spooner, saying
they declared a strong political bias and
an evident desire to advance the policy
Of the Administration rather than to
arrive at just and righteous solution
OF the profile n presented, He declare d
that the speeches Of the Senators he had
referred TO each had contained eulogistic
references to the President OF the United
= tates, references which, he said, were
sycophantic in character. Some oft
speeches Of the Republicans had been
marred, in his opinion, by attacks upon
the late Democratic candidate for the
PresidencY-Mr Bryan. Il would be
his effort not to make a political speech,
although, he added "my remarks NAV
be tinged with my opposition to The
Republican party"
Mr.. Teller said that he saw no way to
The surrender Of the Philippines. IL
believe" he added, that a republic
may have and may hold colonlec, but
those colonies must be founded on a
participation in the government. BY the
people OF the colonies"
AS to the question relating to the
Philippines, as it will be presented in
the approaching Campaign, Mr. Teller
said:
II don't know whether 'imoerialism'
is to be an issue Of the coming campaign
or not. Ii will not be unless the Repub-
lican party shall make it an issue" He
referred to the speech Of Mr.. Hoar. Of
Massachusetts,, as showing infinitely
more concern as to the fate OF the
Republican party at the elections OF
next November than that Justice and
right should be meled out to the Fill
pinos. So it was, be declared with
Republicans everywhere. Il was the
most striking part OF the Senator's
speech, he said, that he should have
presented so strong an appeal to his
party not to face defeat in the campaign
by refusing to change ITS policy.
In the course OF a sharp and extended
criticism of the Government provide d
by Congress for the people Of Porto
Rico, Mr.. Teller said it was part OF the
imperialistic policy of the Republican
party.

which he can justly be proud.
He was the first man to introduce a
resolution for the poor Beers. No
opportunity ever presented itself to say
a word in behalf OF these brave and
gallant people struggling for liberty,
that he let pass without taking advan
tage OF in their behalf. Mr.. tt'sspeech
at the Boer mass meeting in Baltimore
made him many friends among the
Germans in Maryland. His speech at
the monster mass meeting for tire same
cause at Washington was also well
received. No man has fought the new
imperialistr policy introduced by this

exorbltant war taxes and against the

tariff were able and convincing,

ing majority, because he deserves l.,

The Ad.Inurn ment.

Congress has adjourned. The
Congressional abdication has been
complete. Congress has done only
that which the Executive de-
manded should be done, and has
lett in the future those things on
which the Administration did not
desire action.
Our soldiers in the Philippines
are lett there to sicken and die in
hard climate at the worst season
OF the year, with no prospect OF an
end to the war, and with not even
the hope that anything more will
be done OF a substantial character
till after the Presidential campaign
IS over, and the Commandcr-in
Chief and his subserVient Legisla-
tive Department feel free to send
more troops.
Port, Rico is left in a condition
of vassalage, though it is now in
the undispu'ed possession Of the
United States. A tariff law has
been made for it unlike the tariff
laws that apply to any other State
or territory oil the Union. and the
Constitution has been wrenched
to make this state OF affairs possi-
BILE. The trusts and tariff barons
have dictated the Porto Rican tar
if law. Not only has no step been
taken to deliver Cuba over to the
Cubans, under the solemn pledge
made in the declaration of war
against Spain, but the scheme OF
military administration appears u
be broadening instead OF being
contracted, and such subordinate
civil administration as we have
had there has turned out to be
utterly scandalous.
There has not been a word OF
sympathy with the men who
have been fighting for liberty in
the South African Republics, and
Congress complacently disappears
at the moment when Lord Sails
bury is boasting that the last ves-
tige OF independence must be
stamped out in the country in
which the Beers have Justly earned
ownership. They hurry over to
the denomination of Mckinley,
Immediately tol blowing the an
nouncement that a British COM
mander has eliminated the word
Free" from the country hereto
fore known as the Orange Free
State. They depart when ore Of
the most accomplished British dip
lomats is lingering about our State
Department, so as to see to it that
only British interests shall prevail
in our international management.
