ing at war with the kingdom of Spain,
has entire sympathy and most friendly
sentiments for the native people of the
Philippine islands. For these reasons
l desire TO have the most amicable re-
iations with YOU and to have you and
your people cooperate With us in mill
tary operations against the Spanish
forces"
If arming men and employing them
under their own leaders against "a
common enemy" is not recognizing
them us allies. the usages of war and
the English language are without
meaning. If, however. these utter
ances of Dewey and Anderson are
deemed inconclusive there remains the
fact that 1,SO0 Spanish prisoners were
turned over to the Filipino forces. SO
far as actual hostilities are concerned.
the fact has not hitherto been disputed
that the American outposts fired first,
killink a Filipino, and that afterwards,
when Aguinaldo asked for an armistice,
he was informed that hostilities. hav-
ing been begun. they would have to go
on to the bitter end.
After this statement of alleged facts
the President proceeds to argument in
justification of his course. With the
facts SO far awry it is not surprising
that the argument is crooked. We be-
lieve that the most eXtravagant adj
mirer of Mr.. Mckinley will not con-
tend that his letter of acceptance VIII
have so profound or far-reaching effect
AZ Mr.. Bryan's speech at indianapolis.
1t adds nothing new TO the discussion,
and. While 1t is adroit. it certainly falls
short of what should have been OK
pected of n dialectician of Mr.. McI<in
ley's ability and with his unlimited
sources of information.
1t is diffuse. aggressive and replete
in places with ill-tempered innuondo.
We should class it as decidedly less
effective than his speech of accept
ance.

WATCHING THE STRAWS.

To begin with, all fair-minded people
will congratulate Mr.. En- Secretary OIL
ney, probably the ablest man of Mr.
Clevelands Cabinet. They are pleased
to see Mr.. Olney fair-mindcd but more
delighted at his bravery in having the
courage of his convictions.
It can't be denied that many fairly
well-meaning people in Mr.. Olney's
set have very much Knocked at Mr.
Bryan's "heresies." That this ridiculc
was adopted by smart, designing peo-
pie as a campaign effort is too self-cv-
ident to admit of argument That it
has had its effect in detcrring many
weak minded and irresolute Gold Dem
ocrats in coming back to their old al
legiance is the best evidence of the use
heretofore made of it by the Rcpub
Leans.
Thousands of Democrats have been
waiting just this signal from some re-
sponsible leader. and they will follow;
and in coming bring the powerful
honest, conservative Eastern influence

SECRETARY GAGE BRAYED ONCE
TOO OFTEN.

What an awful throw down" IL was
that Carl Schurz gave Secretary Lyman
Gage. he of the Custom House deal"
fame! Secretary Gage. valiant lover
of the public veal and defender of the
Treasury, friend of the people and
ready to die in their interest rushed
frantcaly from the obscure shades OF
that National City Bank Custom
House matter-waved energetically the
red flag of danger, and called upon the
great American people to protect them
selves. He had covered his we'll bat
tered head with n bran new halo of
glory. and stood like General E.agan,
defying General Miles, risking all. Old
Carl Schurz, with movement as hard
to parry as his name is to pronounce,
gave Mr.. Gage n solar pleXus" blow
that left that gentleman wondering
where the lightning came from, as he
handed back the fragments of that
halo" to Mr.. Mckinley and retired be
hind Mark Hanna, awaiting his next
mission.
And here is how it all happened: Mr..
Hanna had Mr. Gage, Secretary of the
Treasury, to announce to q confiding
public that If Mr.. Bryan was elected
he could pay government obligations
in silver. In other words, the money
question was not settled for at least
six or eight years. Hanna remembered
what snap he had four years ago
crying "Silver;" and so Mr.. Gage took
n prominent position, threw back his
ears and prayed. What a sound 1t wasi
1t walked up the slumbcring stocks and
bonds. deep down in the caverns of the
Vaults and Trust Companies. and made
the Standard Oil people and the other
Trusts turn over in their peaceful and
gorged sleep. and it reached the ears
of one Carl Schurz, who smiled smile
of sweet reproof. He just reached up
and attended to Mr.. Gage.
And this is what he said: "If the
currency law is not what it should be,
and to the satisfaction of the Republi-
cans. then they are to blame for doing
such a faulty job. And more. it Is pro-
bable that the Republicans did it pur-
posely, in order to use the same old cry
in this campaign. But, admitting that
the law is faulty. a Republican Con
gress and a Republican President Will
be in power in Washington next win
ter for many months before Mr.. Bryan
is inaugurated on the 4th of March,
1901. How easy it would be for the Re
publicans to cure that defect before Mr..
Bryan got I'M"
And this is the way to do it: Simply
insert in the law the words: THE
Secretary of the Treasury shall pay all
claims in either gold or silver at the
option OF the creditor"
And this is what ought to happen:
Mr.. Gage should be exhibited through
out the country as living example of
what an ass n man can make of HIM
self. Attention should also be directed
to what fools the Republicans think the
people are

GALVESTON'S DISASTER.

The havoc wrought by the storm and
ton is the most appalling since the
flood at Johnstown, in which $500 lives
were lost. While the first reports OF
such disasters usually exaggerate the
loss of life, ii the destruction of prop
erty and the fury of the wind
and waves were as great as
represented the first estimates as
to loss of life appear conservative
enough. i is perhaps not too much to
say that the disaster is the worst that
has ever overtaken an American city
of Galveston's Importance. The city
was rapidly developing into the most
important port of the Southwest, and
apart from the actual destruction of
life and property, horrible enough in
itself. and the chances that, as has so
often happened before, an epidemic of
disease may follow the destruction of
the city's sanitary system and from the
decaying wrcclSage, the shock to the
confidence of the business world in the
safety of property on the island where
the city stands will arrest it's develop
ment for years to come. The property
destroyed was doubtless measurably
covered by insurance, but it will take
years to restore the broken spirit of
the unfortunate city In the meantime
the care of those who have survived
the storm is n most serious problem.

that has marked Mr.. Cleveland's
strength. Mr.. Olney's movement really
portends more harm to the Republic
can cause than any recent event.
But MIR. Bryan should be congratu-
lated as we'll as those Democrats who
believed him to be the logical candi-
date. The only argument against his
nomination was that he could not
command the support of the Gold
Democrats and the Eastern contingent
of the party. 1t is evident that any
impression created by Mr.. Hill is wiped
away at u glance of by the overriding
influence of MIR. Olney.
The fact that the ticket commands
Mr.. Olney's support without Gold
Democrat on it. and In the face of Mr..
Hilrs attempted rebuff. brings out with
great force the paramount issue Of the
campaign. Imperialism with it's i'm
pending dangers and complications. at
home and abroad, is squarely before
the people. 1t is whether the "Consti-
tuition follows the flag; and "What
is the flag doing away from home,
estray from. and contrary to, the Con-
stitution?"
Anent the endorsement of Mr.. OIL
ney, 1t should not be overlooked that
Hon. VIM. L. Wilson has been lectur-
ing against Imperialism and the dis
astrous policy of the Republicans. His
recent letters, and particularly his
communications to Mr.. Bryan in West
Virginia. should be a source of graft
tication to those Democrats who have
always stood out firm for Democracy,
as well as good examples to Gold
Democrats to return to the party.

Try give up the past and make the white

also a graduate Of the Medical Depart

timore today, there are not less than
10000 Independent coIOred voters that
will not be driven by any party lash.
II must be remembered that the Negro
will never be respected in politics
so long as he sticks TO one party. Let
the Negro be manly and stand up for
what is right. II q few dollars is to sac
rifice the colOred mans vote, what
under the Heavens will be the future
Of our race?
We are citizens under the law and
the Constitution Of the United States,
and there can be no laws legally
passed that will abridge the rights of
the people or any class of them. Why
should we fear, since good men conduct
the affaiIs of our government? Let US
take white men as We find them, dem
ocrats or republicans, aud if they are
friendly to US, let US be friendly to
shem. Ii 1t is 30 our advantage TO be
independent in politics, let Us have
sense enough TO see it. The day OF
slavery is over, and the young colored
man Will not be Influenced by what
occurred thirty years ago.
.I,would advise every Negro voter In
the South that when IL comes to state,
Eunicipal or comfy affairs, he should
vote for the best man without regard
to politics. L cannot see any reason
why all colored men should belong to
any one party any more than all white
men should belong TO any one party.
Les the Negro find out his best friend,
who gives him his bread and butter,
and vote with him 10 the best interest
of all concerned, and the white man
will see that il Is to his interest to
treat him ss q citizen and protect him
in his rights. The politicians have
taken advantage of the Ignorance of
the Negro, and have endeavored TO
prevent him from seeking the conf.
dence Of his white friends without re-
gard so party.
1t is very nearly agreed by every
true leader OF the Negro race ehat the
time has come when the Negro should
divide his vote between the two great
political parties, especially so on sll To-
cal questions, thereby showing that O
few dollars cannot buy his vote; neither
can he be turned aside by few papers
which are existing on the money they
receive from politicians. II politicians
would keep their money in their pock.

Woman's Case in Equity.
Continued from First Page.) }

"A 8 a nation we prOfessed long ago
to have abandoned the principle that
might makes right. Before the world
we pose today as a government whose
citizens have the right to liberty, life,
and the pursuit of happiness and yet,
iu spite of these lofty professions and
noble sentiments, the present policy OF
this government is to hold one'half OF
its citizens in legal subsection to the
other, without being able to assign
good and sufficient reasons for such a
fragrant violation of the very princi'
pie upon 1t was founded.
The founders of this republic called
heaven and earth TO witness that it
should be q government Of the people,
for the people. and by the people; and
yet the elective franchise is withheld
from one half of the citizens, many Of
whom are intelligent, cultured and
vlrtuous, while it is unstintingly be-
slowed upon the other, some Of whom
are illiterate, debauched, and vicious,
because the word people, by an un
paralleled exhibition of photographers
acrobats, has been turned and twisted
TO mean all who were shrewd and wise
teiligence to desire it.
The argument that it is unnatural for
women TO vote Is as old as the rock
ribbed and ancient hills. Whatever is
unusual Is called unnatural the worlo
over. When the world takes q step for
ward in progress some Cd custom falls
dead st our feet. Nothing could be more

prince OF entertainers, where they re-
ceIved some valuable assistance along

There will be q deleg alton of thirty
