Three Issues In Politics.

Hon. William j. Bryan was In New
York City last week and is thus
quoted IN q newspaper interview:
There are three issues nov rom
inent In the campaign" said be.
They are the money question, trust
question and imperialism.
"There may be differences of opin-
ion as TO their relative Importance,
but tina position of the publican
party on any one Of them is sufficient
to drive out of it any man who be
lieves that the Government should be
administered in the interest of the
majority and not for the benefit of
the favored few"
"How do you propose to bring the
gold democrats back into the party"
was asked.
"Msny of them have already come
back" said Mr.. Bryan. "Some will
not return at all, aud it is useless to
ask them. Some will come back be-
cause they now believe In the Chica-
60 platform, and some will be attract
ed by new issues to support the entire
platform, though they may not agree
with every part of il"
"What distinction do you make be-
tween imperialism and expansion"
Expansion is a term that can De
applied only to an extension of the
limits of the Republic without any
change in its character. For exam
pie, the purchase of the Louisiana
territory increased the area of the
country and the country has been
settled and divided into States, the
citizens of which have equal rights
and privileges under the Government.
Webster defines an empire as nation
which embraces variety of races
and diversity of governments. The
idea now promulgated by the repub-
llcans is that the nation should reach
out and draw other nations under
the flag by force and then govern
them as subjects.
"My contention is that the repub-
lie can have no subjects, and that it
cannot afford to bring in those who
are not to share in full the destiny of
the American people.
each proposed annexation must
be settled on its own merits and we
must consider whether the people to
be annexed desire to come IN aud also
whether we want them to come in.
The Filipinos do not desire to come
inland l do not think that the ma
jority of the American people desire
to have them. Therefore | have
favored from the beginning aud still
favor an immediate announcement of
the nations purpose to give them in
dependence on the same terms as we
have promised to give it to the Gu
bans-that is, as soon as a stable
government has been established.
81 further believe that the nation
should give to the Filipino Govern
ment the same protection that has
been given to the republics of Cen
trial aud South America protec-
ito which would prevent molestation
from without. | do not mean pro-
tectorate, but rather the extension of
the Monroe doctrine"
When asked for his views upon the
Transvaal war Mr.. Bryan said.
81 believe our people sympathize
with the Beers, as they have always
sympathized with every people SINH
larry situated. A man who believes
in the doctrine of self government
must symbathize with those who are
fighting for it, rather than with q
monarchy that is trying to take il
away from them"

Represen tative Sidney P. Epes, of
the Fourth Virginia District, has
been chosen 10y the Virginia delega-
ton to represent the State on the
democratic congressional committee.
Thus position has been previously
held for several sessions by Congress-
man Jones, of the First district.
Col. John w. Richardson was last
week elected Register of the Land
Office at a salary of $1,000 a year,
being a reduction from $1,000 as
heretofore allowed. This ends the
big fight for the adjustment of the
Office and defeat of Mr.. Richardson.
Major Thomas A. Brander, past
grand commander of the Virginia
Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans
and who was known throughout the
South for his prominence in all Con-
federate reunions, died in Richmond
Sunday, aged 60 years.
The Colored Industrial School

Minister Cores, of Nicaragua, has
had sn interview with the chairman
of both the House and Senate CON-
mittees which have reported the bill
for the Nicarsgusn Canal, and has
pointed out to them that the bill, as
drawn, viii undoubtedly arouse an
opposition In Nicaragua which may
render its provisions imperative. Mr..
Cores wants the language modified.
For instance, the bills direct the
President to acquire" the territory
necessary, and to ''erect Notifications. +"
The constitutions of both Nicaragua
and Costa Rico absolutely forbid the
alienation of any of the national ter
ritory, while the proposition to fortify
without consideration for the feelings
of the two states, would naturally
cause trouble. Minister Corea sd-
vises that the words be changed to
authorize the President to "obtain
permission" to build the canal, and
to make no reference to Notifications
at present. These will be expected,
as a matter of course, but 1t is unnec-
essory to cram them down the throats
of the people there. In other words,
Mr.. Corea thinks that oil is a good
deal better than vinegar for catching
flies. If the bill is passed in its pres
ent shape, he has been instructed to
formally protest against it.

BROKEN BRlC-A-BRACS.

Mr.: Major. the famous cement man. of
| New York. explains some very interesting
facts abont Majors Cement.
The mu!titudes who use this standard ar
ticle know that it is many hundred per
cent, better than other cements for which
do not know why The simple reason is
that Mr.. Major uses the best materials
ever discovered and other manufacturers
do not use them, because they are too ex-
pensive and do not allow large profits. Mr..
Major tells us that one of the elements of
his cement costs - rs Il pound. and an
other costs % GS q gallon, while n large
share of the So-calleu dement's and liquid
glue upon the market are nothing more
than siXteen-cent cline. dissolved in water
or c,triC acid. ana i'll some cases, altered
slightly in color and OdOr by the addition
of cheap and Useless materials.
Majors cement retnlS at fifteen and
twenty-five cents bottle. and when a
dealer tries to sell II substitute you can de-
pend upon it that his only object is to make
larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much
as any dealer ought TO make on any cement.
And this is doubly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the bene.
fit of Mr. Majors advertising, which now
amounts to over 5000 II month, throughout
the country. Estub ished in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept

BARNARD HOUSE BURNED.

The house of Bert Cady in Bar
nard was destroyed by fire early
Wednesday morning. Scarcely any
thing was saved, the fire making q
clean sweep of the building and con-
tents.
Mr.. Cadv was awakened about :
o'clock by the cracking of flames
and going down stairs discovered
the blaze in an unfinished room.
He got a bucket of water and threw
it on the flames but on returning
with more water found the fire was
beyond his unaded efforts to stop it.
He then looked for the safety of
his wife and their several children
and there was little more than time
for them to escape in the clothes in
which they were hurriedly dressed.
One of the Young children was
tossed out of a window and in the
cold morning air they all suffered
not little.
The fire made quick work of the
house. which was Il new one fin
ished a sholt time ago. A cook
stove, a chair and a very few other
household goods were rescued from
the flames. Mr.. Cady's loss is about
81 900. There is said to have been
$500 insurance on the house.
The loss is 81 very severe one to
Mr.. Cady and his family, who are
now staying at Mr.. Eastman's. Fire
has done considerable damage in
Barnard in the past year and news
Of Mr.. Cadv's misfortune is learned
with much regret.
