l have been taught the best way to
awaken the interest of the afflicted
is to lay before them from time to
time the freely offered testimonials
of those whom have cured. The
interest once aroused, it becomes
easier to inspire confidence.
Those who are not personally ac-
quainted with us might hesitate to
believe our statements as to the
ability to cure, but can hardly re-
fuse to believe the unsolicited tes-
mony of those who have been re-
stored to health.
We do not care to talk about our
self, but we only wish to have you
understand that what we say is re-
liable, and if you come here for
treatment we will do as we'll by you
as we have done by others if your
case is durable.

tice and stable conditions as ours.
Neither congress nor the executive can
establish a stable government in these
islands under our right or sovereignty,
our authority, and our flag. And this
we are doing.
1--WE could not do it as a protector
ate power so completely or so success
fully as we are doing it now. AS the
sovereign power we can initiate action
and shape means to ends, and guide
the Filipinos to self-development and
Self-government. AS protectorate
power we could not initiate action, but
would be compelled to follow and up
hold a people with no capacity yet to
go alone. In the one case we can
protect both ourselves and the Fill
pinos from being involved in danger
Gus complications; in the other we
could not protect even the FilipinoS
until after their trouble had come. Be
sides, if we cannot establish any gov
eminent of our own without the con-
sent of the governed, as our opponents
contend, then we could not establish
q stable government for them or
make ours a protectOrate without the
like consent, and neither the majority
of the people nor a minority OF the
people have invited us to assume 1t.
We could not maintain a protectorate
even with the consent of the governed
without giving prOvocation for con-
t1icts and possibly costly wars. Our
rights in the Philippines are now free
from outside interference and will con-
tinue so in our present relation. They
would not be thus free in any other
relation We will not give up our own
to guarantee another sovereignty.
"Our title is good. Our peace COM
missioners believe they were receiv-
ing a good title when they concluded
the treaty. The executive believed it
was a good title when he submitted
it to the senate of the United States
for it's ratification. The senate be-
lieved it was a good title when they
gave it their constitutional assent, ana
the congress seems not to have
doubted its completeness when they
appropriated $2O,OO0,000 provided by
the treaty. If any who favored its
ratification believed it gave US a bad
title, they were not sincere. Our title
is practically identical with that I'M
der which we hold our territory &C
uuired since the beginning of the gov
eminent, and under which we have
exercised full sovereignty and estab-
lished government for the inhabitants.

PROPOSITION OF THE DEMOCRATS
Argument to Show That 1t Would Not
Work Wei in PRACTICE.

''In short, the proposition of those
opposed to us is to continue all the
obligations in the Philippines which
now rests upon the government, only
changing the relation from principal,
which now exists, to that of surety.
Our responsibility is to remain, but
our power is to be diminished Our
obligation is to be no less, but our
title is to be surrendered to another
power, which is without experience
or training, or the ability to maintain
a stable government at home and alb
solutely helpless to perform its inter
national obligations with the rest of
the world. To this we are opposed. We
should not yield our title while our
obligations last In the language of
our platform, Our authority should
not be less than our responsibility
and our present responsibility is to
establish our authority in every part
Of the island. No government can

NO SUCH ISSUE AS IMPERIALISM
So the Republican Standard Bearer
Dec!ares-His Position on Trusts
Remarks on Protection,
Reciprocity and Labor.

Washington, Sept. 10.-William Nc
Kinley's letter Of acceptance of the Re
publican nomination for president of
the United States was given to the
public today. 1t is addressed to Hon.
Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman Motif
cation COMMITTEE and is in its material
substance as follows:
''The nomination of the Republican
national convention of June 10, 1900,
for the office of the president of the
United States, which as the official rep
resentative Of the convention you have
conveyed to me, is accepted. l have
carefully examined the platform adopt
ed and give to it my hearty approval.
Upon the great issue Of the last ma
tional election it is clear. 1t uphOldS
the gold standard and indOrseS the leg
islatiOn Of the present congress by
which that standard has been effect
lively strengthened. The stability of
our national currency is therefore Sc
cure so long as those who adhere to
this platform are kept in control of the
government. In the first battle, that
of 1896, the friends of the gold stand
ard and of sound currency were tri-
umphant, and the country is enjoying
the fruits CT that victory. Our antag-
Onists, however are not satisfied. They
compel US to a second battle upon the
same lines on which the first was
fought and won. While regretting the
re-Opening of this question, which can
only disturb the present satisfactory
financial condition of the government
and visit uncertainty upon our great
business enterprises, we accept the is
sue and again invite the sound money
forces to JOIN in winning another and
we hope a permanent triumph for an
honest financial system, which will
continue inviolable the public faith. AS
in 1896 the three silver parties are
united, under tie same leader who i'm
mediately after the election of that
year, in an address to the bimetallists,
said:
THE friends CT bimetallism have
not been vanquished; they have simply
been overcome. They believe that the
god standard is a conspiracy of the
mOney-changers against the welfare of
the human race, and they will CON
tinue the warfare against it.

would have been no fighting in the
Philippines if congress had declared
it's purpose to give independence to
the Tagal insurgents. The insurgents
did not wait for the action Of congress.
They assumed the offensive; they OPP

assert our responsibility for the be-
ginning Of the conflict have forgotten
that before the treaty was ratified In
the senate and while it was being
debated in that body, and while the
Bacon resolution was under discus

attacked the American army, after
being previously advised that the
American forces were under orders

be its commander, but thsre are rea-
sons for believing that Admiral
Remey counts upon having strong
detachment of Americans in the col

be other American commands now en-

counted upon to be there to take
command in person.
The Fourteenth infantry, under
Col. Dagget, about 1000 men; the
Sixth cavalry, also containing 1000
men, and 500 marines now in the
vicinity of Taku viii bring the total
American strength up to 3,700. This,

In Washington that such an order viii

can be completed.
Gen. Macarthur has been informed
that he must be prepared to assume
the responsibility which, he says, win

body of his troops; that an emergency

which can possibly occur in the Phil

THEY OPENED THE ROAD.
Governor Gear Caused the Milwaukee
Folks 20 Act.

The Cedar Rapids Republican says:
During the winter of 1879, while
Governor Gear was serving his state,
terrific blizzard visited northern
Iowa. Many of the railroads werS
snowbound, the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul beingin particularly bad
shape. The country through which
it passed was new and thinly settled
and the officials concluded it would
be cheaper to wait for the spring
breezes to remove the snow than to
hire men to do it. The line was
abandoned for miles. The settlers
supply of fuel ran short and food,
aside from the products of the coun-
try, became scarce. Finally dele
CATION was sent to Des Moines to see
what could be done. The delegation
appeared before Governor Gear and
told their story. He listened atten-
lively, became convinced OF the seq
iousness of the situation, and then
wrote the following telegram:
$40 the Officers of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul: If you don't
open up the road to Emmetsburg l
will. (Signed) John H. Gear, Gov
ernor of Iowa"
1t is hardly necessary to add that
the governor didn't do it, either"

A Fatal Fight.

Knoxville, Tenn, July 21.-In fight
between railroad negroes and deputy
sheriffs near Hartman Friday two ne
groes were killed outright, Deputy
Sheriff Pemberton was shot, perhaps
fatally, through the head, and Deputy
Read was shot through the shoulder.
The deputy sheriffs were attempting
to arrest VIII Walker, a negro, for
selling whisky, The railroad negroes
came to his assistance and the fight
ensued. Much excitement prevails,
and reports are that mountaineers are
gathering and threatening to drive out
the negroes.

folk are involved in this and in the fail
ure of the fishery, the most disastrous
results are likely to ensue.
