HALF DEVIL AND HALF CHILD"
Post Intelligeneer.

Post Intelligencer,
No treatment Of the extrSordinar!
speeches OF Mr., Bryan can be so ade
Quate as to set his words before GU
people in cold type. They are their owl
best antidote II man should say tha
Seattle is built mile below sea level
and that the waters of the Pacific or,
about to break in and engulf It, argu
ment would be bootless Not less ex
travagant are the statements Of Mr.
Bryan. who seems to throw away an
other restraint OF reason and sanity
with every mile that he covers in his
Wild flight. At Spokane he said:
The war against Aguinaldo is one Of
subjugation, which will result in turn
ing American bayonets against Ameri'
can breasts in furtherance OF the i'm
perialistlc policy Of the national ad.
mlnistration.
This is mere sound and fury. Does
any sane hearer OF Mr.. Bryan believe II
any more than he would the rawlings Of
mailman? Does Mr.. Bryan believe
one word of 1t himself7
Throughout the world you win find
kings and aristoerats praying for the
success Of the republican party.
There is an echo OF the faubourg and
the sansculotte about this; and indeed
the rhetoric Of Mr.. Bryan would be
more appropriate for beer-hall social
ist meeting in some European capital
than for an assembly OF thinking
American freeman. 1t is he who has
caught the taint Of absolutism; OF
the recklessness, violence and appeal to
baseness that # engenders.
When the rich want the constitution
amended. they have only to secure .
decision Of the supreme court.
There speaks the gospel of the Chi
cago platform. What think the people
Of that shameless charge?
II YOU want a despotism under the
flag in the Orient, you can only expect
that the soldiers, sent across the Pa
cifie will return, and you people on the
Pacific coast will first feel their bay
onets.
/ have come all the way from my
Nebraska home to try to impress upon
the people Of Washington the dangers
of an imperialistic party. 1 warn you
that when you send soldiers across the
seas and accustom them to bloodshed,
they viii return in time, and turn their
guns against you in order to enforce
the doctrines Of an imperial govern
ment which are now advocated by the
republican party.
The work Of giving freedom, educa-
ton and complete local self-govern-
ment to the Philippines, to which we
are pledged and to which our bravest
and best are consecrated, is planting
a despotism." In the companion pic
ture Mr.. Bryan surpasses himself. The
image of the First Washington regi-
ment, for instance, bayoneting their
friends and families under orders from
Mr. Mckinley provoke not so much
or anger as inextingulsh-
able laughter. This fellow is only a
after all.
The policy Of the republican party is
as tyrannical, despotical and damnable

For Jury Commissioner.

w p HILE UNDER the forms
\N/ of law there is no COM
petition for the office of
jury commissioner, it is
proper to call attention, in connection
with the other names upon the pres
ent local Republican ticket, to the per-
sonal excellence of the Republican
nominee for this position, Mr.. Edward
E. Sturges.
Recent events, known to every citi-
zen of our county, and to many citi-
zens elsewhere, render it unnecessary
to speak in detail of Mr.. Sturges for
the reason that his work in public
affairs. is speaking very eloquently for
itself: but it is proper to call atten-
tion. to the fact. which was so mani
fest in the vote he received at the
recent primaries, that his sincerity
good faith, and honest motive are
recognized not only by those imme-
diately in sympathy with the agencies
of public improvement with which he
is identified, but also in equal degree
by many of the very men against
whom his activities have been di-
rected.
II is a fortunate circumstance for
every citizen of our county that the
opportunity has arisen for the plac-
ing of such a man in such q position
as jury commissioner. Ir this connec-
ton, we desire also to express what
we believe is the general qualification
at the fact that the opposing party
has also nominated a man Of the very
highest character TO be Mr.. Sturges'
associate in this Office. This circum-
stance demonstrates that when there
is a real sentiment we'll aroused among
the people for the bringing forward
for public office of the best material
among them. existing political organi-
cations are not slow to recognize it,
Thus reform becomes possible without
disruption of party ties.

VT IS NOT PROBABLE that the
deliberations Of any body of
a men called together in this
part of the state have been
watched with greater interest than
that which has been excited by the
convention of miners to be held in
Scranton today. Although the anthra-
cite coal strike is 10 certain extent
in the stage of infancy and has thus
far been attende y with unusually mild
weather which has had tendency to
restrict the demand for fuel, yet it
has progressed sufficiently for all in
this vicinity to realize what a pro-
longed suspension of mining opera
tions would mean to this valley and
the surrounding country. The dele
gates to the meeting today, whether
under instructions or acting of their
own free will, have grave respon-
.sibi.ity resting upon them in decld-
ing whether the offer of the opera
tors shall be accepted or rejected. The
proceedings thus far have been con-
Quoted apparently with a cautious de-
liberation that would indicate a desire
on part of the leaders to consider
all phases of the important question
before them A continuation of the
policy today it is believed will do
much to simplify the situation and
open the way to resumption of the
great industry of Northeastern Penn
sylvania with accompanying results to
the betterment of the mine worker.

Roosevelt on the colored Soldier.

a N ARTICLE in Scribner's
~ Magazine Of April last has
been introduced in the pres
ent campaign as ref'ec-
ton upon the bravery Of the colored
soldier. TO a reporter for the Chicago
News the other day the governor not
only denied that any such reflection
was intended but he also incidentally
paid an enthusiastic and just tribute
to the coored soldier as "a first class
fighting man" Said the governor:
II would be the last man In the
world to say anything against the coll
ored soldier, because I know OF his
bravery and his character. He saved
my life at Santiago, and I have had
occasion to say so in many articles
and speeches. The Rough Riders were
in bad position when the Ninth and
Tenth cavalry came rushing up the
hill carrying everything before them
THE colored soldier has the faculty
of coming to the front when he is
needed most. In the civil war he
came 100000 strong, and I believe he
saved the Union. He has done excel
lent work in all of the Indian cam
paigns and while / was in the west
had number of opportunities Of
witnessing his wonderful work. He
saved a massacre of the Seventh in
1890
"At San Juan hill the colored SOL
diers rendered an object lesson to all
Of the soldiers assembled there. They
sung and fought and pushed the lag
gard troopers up the hill and the
great victory at that point was theirs
as much as, if not more than, any of
the soldiers there"
No one acquainted with Colonel
Roosevelt has a doubt of his bravery
or questions his qualities as fighter.
The true hero is ever ready to recog-
nize the worth of others, and 1t is
evident from the above that he fully
appreciates the services of the colored
troops who assisted so materially in
winning the victory at San Juan hill.
Simple justice, both to Colonel Roose-
welt and the men who helped to win the
hottest battle of the Spanish war; re-
quires this refutation of an unjust at
tack and Of the unfair methods Of
campaigning that prompted it.

Another Food Swindle.

OVERS OF canned salmon
who of late may have noticed
a difference in the flavor of
the cheaper brands, will no
doubt be Interested in one Of the re-
cent explanations as to the cause of
the change in the quality that has for
years been the delight of epicureans.
A development in a New Orleans court
the other day will to a certain extent
solve the mystery as to the causes
that have had the effect of making
canned salmon unpopular among gas
Economical connoisseurs. A petition
was presented for seining privileges
in the bayous of Concordia parish. and
in the course of the argument it was
developed that the catching of cat.
fish, their chemical treatment, cam
ming and shipping to the eastern
markets as salmon, has been car
ried on for years and has become a
fine business. The application before
the court was for privilege incident
to an enlargement of the petitioners
catfish salmon business. The catfish,
chemically treated and canned, IS
said to be so perfect counterfeit Of
salmon meat that only through the
carelessness of packers can detection
be made The careful packer let's no
piece of the catfish's skin get into
the cans. The skin is blue and with
people up" in fish lore piece of it
in can of salmon is sure to rouse
suspicion. 1t is said this Louisiana
catfsh-salmon industry has pros
pered for years in quiet way"
though once the governments atten-
ton was called to it.
1t would seem as though the pure
food laws should have been applied
to the business ere this. While the
product of the Louisiana swamps may
not be even in chemically treated
state injurious, it is no more to be
compared with the flnny beauty
hatched in the Rocky Mountain
streams than are the cheapest sam
pies of hog fat and tallow butter to
be compared to pure dairy product,
Canned catfish should by all means
have a proper label.
