you're market value has risen. TSu may
be said to have a fancy. speculative value,
owing to a temporary desiand. Other
wise, you are pretty commonplace lot of
plugs. But | want to go in and get the
Old Mans answer. l left him and the
Adjutant-General working over it. ltll
be sweetener, you bet.
Here is the scorching way that the
Old Man has laid it into him:
IF common sense had been part of the
course at West Point you might not have
stood so high. Your assumption is the
more extraordinary, for you assume not
only to know more about your own but
eyerybody's business than anybody else
does, an assumption which is not war
ranted by any achievement of yours since
you have been in this Department nor in
the long career you have had in the army.
Your generous estimate of your own abili-
ties has a very limited circulation, proba-
bly, not outside of your domestic circle. |
certainly have some rights as Commander
of this important post, and one of the
first is that of selecting the men with
whom | am to discharge the highly re-
sponsible duties imposed upon me. / have
made a very great concession in sending
away two well-disciplined regiments
which have been on duty here, and | am
clearly entitled to have them replaced by
men in whom 1 have confidence. 1 re-

his chances have greatly decreased OF
again carrying Colorado, Idaho, Kansas,
Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Utah,
Washington, and Wyoming. Here are 4
votes, the greater part of which he is like
ly to lose, and may lose all. Kansas and
Nebraska have apparently fully recovered
from their attack of Populism, and are
most likely to cast their votes for McKin-
ley and Roosevelt. The same is true of
the new States of the Northwest, except
where local issues have risen to compli-
cate the campaign. AT present writing
only Utah and Montana are held TO be
most likely to remain in the Bryan col
umn.
The next question is as to whether Mr..
Bryan can make any inroads upon the Nc
Kinley ranks of 1896. Early in the cam
paign the Bryan managers claimed with
confidence" Connecticut. New jersey, New
York, Maryland, West Virginia, Ken
lucky, Indiana, and Minnesota. They
seem to have given up New York. Con
necticut, New Jersey and West Virginia,
and be far less hopeful of Maryland thIn
they were ut the beginning of the month,
and in spite of the peculiar campaign car
ried on in Minnesota, they can hardly have
any real hopes of getting that State. In
Kentucky the Republicans are making a
gallant fight, and are sanguine of success,
in spite of the Infamous Goebel Law, but
the chances there undoubtedly favor Bry-
an. A complication of causes distu. bs tn.
situation in Indiana, but Mckinley viii
probably carry it.
Counting Idaho Indiana, and Montara a
as doubtful, giving Bryan Colorado, Ken
lucky, Maryland, Nevada and Utah. and
giving Mckinley Connect ut, Kansas, Ne
braska, South Dakota, Washington, and
Wyoming, the vote will stand
bryan ...-.. ......... lIO
Thus, Mckinley can lose AZ votes from
this estimate. and still be elected, while
Bryan will have to gain 6i votes to n
and it is difficult to see where he can get
them.

GEN. e. S. BRAGG, the gallant COM
mander of the old Iron Brigade. has come
out squarely against the dangerous here
sizes of Organism, and for Mckinley and
Roosevelt. Bragg was Democrat befo e
the war, and a Delegate to the famous
Democratic Convention at Charleston in
1860. He acted with the Republicans for
a few years after the war, but went over
to Greeley in 1872, and was elected TO
Congress four times by the Democrats.
Bryan's program of National dishonor is
too much for the veteran defender of the
Flag.

CHINA's preliminary offer seems to be
an earnest of good faith. She will be-
head Ying Men, President of the Censor
ate; Yang Vi, Assistant Grand Secretary,
and President of the Civil Board. and
Chao Shu Chiao, President of the Board
of Punishment; while three other Princes
of the realm will be sentenced to life i'm
prisonment, and Prince Tuan be banished
to a frontier military post. We would re-
gard it as pretty stiff lesson, to cut off
the heads of three Cabinet officers. i'm
prison three more for life, and Danish a
seventh to ALASKA, but they probably don
mind things like that as much as we do.

Notes of the Campaign

mittees are simply announcing now a situation which The Tribune discover ed and announced as far back as Sep tember 23, when it editorially declared that Bryan's sudden change of front from imperialism and expansion to the trusts issue was solely due to the fact that the west was solidly against him In that article we said:
 Before the campaign closes Colonel Bryan will recognize that on no issue was the party in power less vulnerable than the one he chose to exploit as paramount" in his Indiana polls speech. Less interested observers all ready recognize that on that issue he has lost the middle west the Rocky mountain west and the Pacific coast. It is already clear that many of the states which went for him on the silver issues four years ago are going against him now because he opposes the tradi- tional policy of his party and the ire sistible instinct of the American people on the question of expansion. It is not even clear that on that very issue he can carry his own state of Nebraska. It is absolutely certain that he has not the ghost of chance for election un- less on other issues and sham pretenses he can contriVe to carry some middle or eastern states which he lost in 1896 On his chosen battlefield and with his chosen war cry he is defeated already New York Tribune.

Ii seems to be settled now that Me Kinley will be reelected and that his
 reelection will be
 "SORDID victory for "sordid com
 COMMER- ms rcialism." One is to ClALISM.' infer from this that for
 the first time in our his tory we are to have an election decided by the commercial interests of the country. Hitherto, we are to under stand. material considerations have played only a minor and quite unim- portant part in our elections. Now for the first time. chiefly because Of the consolida tion of all the great finan- cial. industrial and business interests of the country upon one side of the contest, "sordid cummercialism" will win the day, much to the discredit of the spiritual side of our nature as people. and. in all probability, with serious consequences to our national character and future career.
 It is all wrong To suppose that pros perity is a good thing for a nation This error. which dat5s back to the dawn of civilization, has just been dis covered. mainly through the needless conduct of the Mckinley administra- ton in overriding the business of giv- ing the country prosperity. The ad- minlstratlon proceeded on the now ex- plOded theory that .he greater the general prosperity of a nation the greater the individual happiness and comfort of it's people. Acting on this theory, 1t secured stable monetary system, and by fostering laws enor- mously developed industry, trade and commerce. Large fortunes were accu- mulated. great combinat tions of money were formed for the purpose of extend ing business enterprises and giving more employment. Tine laboring classes had more steady employment, and at higher wages than -ver before They saved money not merely by hundreds and thousands. but by millions and even billions. They were s1 intoxicate with their happiness and comfort that

Mir. Meiklejohn, assistant secretary of war. continues his instructive corre-
 spondence with Bryan.
 MORE Two or three lines in his
 BRYAN last letter make entirely
 HUMBUG. clear that the Kansas
 City platform. recog- nizes the principle that the constitu- tion and laws are not in force in new territory till extended over it by con- gress. MT. Meiklejohn writes:
 Tn view of your present contention might I beg to request an explanation of the concluding words of the Chicago platform of 1896 on admission of ter ritories which reads: We recommend that the territory of Alaska be granted delegate in congress and that the general land and timber laws of the United States be eXte nded to said ter ritOry."
 The Kansas City platform reaffirms the whole Chicago platform, including this clause. But if democrats believed in the ex proprio vigore theory they would declare that the constitution is already in force in Alaska; that it re- quires uniform legislation for public lands In all parts of tha United States, and would dvnounce the government for keeping settlers out of Alaska un- lawfully. The democratic contention that '-the constitution follows the flag" Is a bit of ephemerar campaign hum bug. Lawyers of the party do not be- lieve it. and responsible administrators would not act on it now any more than Jefferson acted on it in Louisiana Monroe and Jackson in Florida or Polk in California and New Mexico.

The record is available and yet Messrs. Herndon and Wilson failed to refer to it. All they said about trust. was the mrrAst claptrap. It is sig nificant, perhaps unfortunate, that

We are face to face with defeat" declared John C. Herndon last night in q burst of candor that provoked lib- eral applause. Then he begged his au- dience to pray with him for demo- cratic success. All of which attssts to Mr. Herndon's knowledge of the situ- ation in this territory.
Arizona republican., 1900-10-19

Wilson and Smith know that the Pima bonds have not been funded, and quired to fund them if they were finally declared to be legal, and yet they unblushingly assert that Gov dled ito the territory. Such mendacity was never before heard of on the stump.
