act of having received an epistle
calling his attention to the fact
that a certain bank was possessed
Of directors who had very liberal

campaign fund in 1896, and that
the bank would prefer not to be
forgotten in the distribution Of
any favors that the government
had to bestow in the way of select.
ing dspositories for government

of the transaction is in the signifi-

When VIM. J.sBryan passed through
Kansas City he was asked about his
Minneapolis interview, in which he
was reported % expressing views favor
able to CERTAIN forms of expansion. Mr..
Bryan said:
IL have for one year been discussing
imperialism, and have tried to dis
ttuguiSh between such an extension of
the nattOu's limits as would not change
the character of the government. and
an expansion which converts q hOma.
genious republic into heterogeneous
empire. When the annexation of any
given territory Is under consideration,
the question is whether the people
want to come in, and second, whether
the people are capable of sharing in
the government and destiny Of this ma
ton.
II believe that all people are caps.
BILE of governing themselves, and that
the Filipinos should be allowed to gov.
ern themselves, but | don't think chat
they are sufficiently advanced to share

Each proposed annexation must be

vantage"

Gallant Struggle of the Boer.

The spectacle Of these brave
men striking hard for their homes
and for their rights was a fine one
in the beginning. Il has grown in
fineness and pathos with every
weeks experience. It has appeal.
cd more strongly to civilized ma.
tions, and particularly to the
United States, with every rein
forcement that has been sent to
the British army. There never was
in oil the worlds histosy q finer
spectacle than this army, drawn
from . population Of 10000,
successfully resisting q powerful
enemy. No other people than
those bred to republican ideas
could make such defence. Among
all the nations 1t is only republics
that make such heroic struggles
for freedom. Whatever the out.
come of the present campaign,
the people Of the great American
union. will continue to give the
two republics Of South Africa full
measure of appreciation and
sympathy.
