In view of his recent speech at Canton,
Secretary Root should get together
with Hanna and compare notes. for with
all soIemnity the spellbinding Cabinet
officer declared that most of the trusts
were coed trusts, and that they are de-
nounced merely because they underseIl
their competitors. Mr.. Roots childish
confidence in the gullibility of the people
is ludicrous. He ought to know that the
public knows that the organization of a
trust is the deathkne1I of competition.
The formation of a trust comprehends
the purchase of large competitors, or
their offensive and defensive alliance. fol-
lowed by driving out of business by any
method at hand those who will not yield
to the conspiracy.

sary to overcome them. OF the legitimate
vote there is nothing to fear; but the
Republican State machine Is SO thoroughly
organized, so lavfshly supplied with cor
ruption money. and so desperate and law
less, that it may be able to elude the
vigilance of the Democrats, whose com
mfttee is practically without funds to pay
the expenses of any very elaborate and
effective system of prevention and detec-
ton.

Buckeye State by a considerable plurality
On the authority of Mayor Jones of Toledo,
he will have seventy five per cent of that
gentleman's following. He probably may
have seyenty-f1ve or eighty per cent of the
German-American vote. The laboring
classes are almost solfdly with him, if
appearances go for anything. Altogether,
Mr.. Bryans Ohio friends believe that he
has more than an even chance of winning
in Mr.. McKinley's own Commonwealth.

Wherever he goes and lifts his voice for
the preservation Of the Republic from the
rapacity of monopoly and imperialism,
Mr. Bryan is welcomed by unprecedent-
ed multitudes. There is every reason to
believe that the silent voter is listen

and that it will not require the long
mental struggle INDUCED in by a Ger
tain New England college president to
effect a decision how to cast his ballot

History proves that few supreme ego
lists were ever swampsd with popularity.
There is something about the Il am Sir
Oracle, and when I ope my lips, let no
dog bark" individual that irritates the
average auditor almost beyond self-re-
straint. When candidate for office adds
to this an air of defiance and an intoleIant
impatience for the man who ventures to
hold opinions that do not coincide with
his. the temptation to make him a tar
get for decayed vegetables-like an in
competent Thespian, who maltreats
Shakespeare in a burlesque portrayal of
Hamlet--is almost Irresistible.
OF such character is the fre-eating
person who has been parading his self
esteem in the Empire State and branding
those who take the trouble to listen to
his harangue as rufians and hoboes If
the man who fought the battle CT San
Juan, while the American army stood and
looked on in wonder, cannot hold his
temper within the bounds of decency, it
is not his right to complain If his teeth
crashing Trades are answered by the
ammunition of the gutter. If he excites
the animosity of the crowds instead of
appealing to their reason, he must learn
TO dodge the egg and the brickbat.
True dignity and honest conviction will
ever receive the respectful attention of
an American audience, unless the Ameri-
can audience deteriorates far below what
1t is today. The people have a certain
amount of admiration for an earnest and
honest opponent who combats their ideas
with facts and logic: but they never did
and never will tolerate man who seeks
to browbeat them out of their opinions
and coerce them into surrendering their
suffreges by the liberal use of grimaces
and billingsgate.

Exemnt From Duty.


In the course of mass of fiippant re-
marks on Mr. Bryan's recent addresses in
the City of Churches, the Brooklyn Ea-
gle" proclaims:
The true things which he says present no facts
and suggest duties to Mr.. Bryan which Mr..
Mckinley is not taking into proper account and
upon which he is not bringing to bear appropriate
action, in the interest of the people"
With this glittering generality the
Eagle" dismisses the arguments of the
Democratic candidate, devoting itself
thereafter principally to personal COM
ment. While the Brooklyn newspaper
may be content to ignore the issues in
this nonchalant fashion, pleading that
they have been hitherto elaborated, the
people of the borough will doubtless con-
tinue to weigh them with care. Perhaps
the Eagle believes that Mir. Mckinley
did his plain duty in Porto Rico, and
that the fact that the islanders are ours
ing American Administration rule is pure
Iy the result of accidental conditions.
Perhaps the unenforced antitrust law,
! suggests no duty to the ambitious Chioan
further than a lukewarm and ambiguous
| paragraph inserted for purposes of decep-
! tion in the Republican platform. Perhaps
Mr.. Bryan's arguments against the IN
| American policy in the Philippines, where
ambition for liberty is being tnrottled in
| liberty's name, suggest no duty to Mr..
| Hanna's candidate.
Rather than indulge in shabby subter-
! fuges. the Eagle" might better para
| phrase Hanna's declaration and assert
| that there are no duties

An Interesting Rumor.

London, JAM LA dispatch from
Lorenzo Marquee, dated December %,
says curious story is current, emanat-
ing from Boer sources that Matt. steyn,
brother OF the president Of the Orange
Free State, and 800 Free staters have
definitely refused to continue the war.
Matt. Steyn, acting as spokesman of
the party, Is reported to have told the
president that he was only authorized
to intevene in the interest OF peace,
and that the burghers did not feel that
they were bound by his 'unwarrantable
conduct especially as they ran the
risk Of confscation of their property,
and they simply desried to be permitted

diately return to their farms.

A DOUBLE TREATY.
Portuguese South Africa Is to Re ID
vided up.

rortukuese oOuth AFRICA Is TO Ire Dl-
vided up.
New York. Jan. Ia dispatch to
the Herald from Berlin says
The Lokal Anzieger publishes the
contents of the German English Portu-
guese secret treaty. This double treaty
will have executive force as soon as the
Swiss jurists, Messrs. Blaesi-Hensley
and Goldau, have given decision in
the Delagoa bay arbitration.
The decision, it is expected, will be
given in January or February and will
probably be in favor OF England, in
which case Portugal must pay to Eng
land and America an indemnity of e1,
100000. England obtained in 1891
from Portugal the right of pre-emption
in Delagoa bay, and the cession of Del
agoa bay to England may therefore be
expected in March next.
1t is possible that President Kruger
may now declare war ON Portugal and
attack Delagoa at once.
In order to prevent any interference
by France or Russia, Enlgand con-
cluded secret treaty with Germany
regarding the complete partition of the
Portuguese colonial possessions. Ger
many is to receive all the Portuguese
possessions in Asia, with 10000 square
miles of territory and 100000 inhab-
itants. Germany further receives in
Africa all Portuguese territory north of
Mozambique, except a strip of land
three miles wide, for Mr.. Cecil Rhodes
trans-African railway. For this the
German government will pay Portugal
100000 marks.

CON7RABAND OF WAR
Rosebery Wants the Govern.
ment's Position Defined.
POSSIBLE CHANGE OF POLICY
Sir Charles Dixie Warns Against &
Hasty Overturning of
Precedents.

London, Jan. Lord Rose berry
writes as follows this morning to the
Times:
There are disquieting intimations
which appear to point to our govern
ment having treated foodstuffs as con-
traband of war. AS this is matter of
supreme Importance, | venture to adj
dress this line to you in the hope that
it may elicit an authoritative statement
ON the subject"
The Times, commenting editorially
upon Lord Roseberry's letter, says:
'Too little is known of the seizures
for any valid inference safely to be
drawn. An emergency might arise
when certain foodstuffs would be re-
garded as contraband while others
would not, especially if the latter were
intended for concombatants. There
might, for instance, be reasonable
grounds for treating canned goods as
contraband and -four as legitimate.
After admitting that it would be
unadvisable to create precedent which
might some day be invoked against
us, the article concludes as follows:
while we fully share the view that
no serious change of policy should oc-
cur without cogent reasons and ample
consideration, we cannot but ask our
selves whether, in the event of Great
Britain being engaged in a war, the
action, either of the enemy or even Of
neutral powers, in matter upon
which such great divergence of opinion
still exists is likely to be governed by
any precedent we or any one else may
have set in the past, rather than by the
immediate interests of the moment"

Acetxlene Gas Ex ploaIon.

stromsberg, Neb.. Jan. 8.--Eden
Baptist church, which was dedicated
only year ago, was totally destroyed
by fire this morning, and two people
were seriously injured. The fire was
caused by an explosion Of acetylene
gas, with which the church was
lighted. The gas generator and the
furnace were both located in the base
ment, and it is supposed escaping gas
was ignited by the furnace. A large
number of people we're in the church
just previous to the explosion. The
building was badly wrecked, and what
was not destroyed by the explosion was
consumed by FIRE.

Battle with Robbers.

held up a Ballard street-car at Ii
o'clock tonight. There were eight
passengers aboard, and regular fusil-
lade of shots was fired. One of the
passengers inside the car, q. e. Plimp-
ton, opened fire on the hghwayman en-
tering from the rear, and three shots
were returned. One broke Plimptons g
arm and the other entered his breast.
Shortly after midnight the police
found near the scene OF the Ballard
street-car hold-up the body of one of

SOUTH OF MANILA.
Opening OF the Campaign in Southern
Provinces.

Manila, Jan. 3.-The first movement
Of the general southern advance oc-
Cured this morning, when two battal-
ions OF the Fourth infantry landed and
occupied Cabuyao, on the south side
of Laguna de Bay, Two Americans
we're killed and two wounded. Twen-
ty-four OF the enemy were found dead
in one house. One hundred and fifty
prisoners and four six-pounder rapid
fire guns were captured.
The gunboat Laguna de Bay bonn
barded the town before the disembark-
alton of the troops from the cascoes,
which was made under the enemy's
shrapnel fire. The enemy evacuated
the place before the charging Ameri-
cans, retreating to Santa Rosa, to
which town they were pursued.
Heavy fighting occurred along the
road to Santa Rosa, which was Cccu-
pied by che insurgents, retreating south
toward Silan. The Americans burned
the country around Cabuyao.
The gunboat returned to Calamba,
for reinforcements. and thence came
to Manila to get ammunition. She
recently captured two Of the enemy's
steam launches, one under the fire OF
artillery, at Calamba, and also four
cascoes loaded with rice. Other regi-
ments are mobilizing tonight at San
Pedro Macati and Pasig, preparatory to
continuing the southern advance.
Yesterdays capture of bombs in
volved the seizure of documents incul-
pating / 200 Ffiipinos who intended to
rise against the Americans. Papers
were also found showing u distribution
Of the city into districts, and careful
assignment Of leaders and followers.
The precautions taken by the Ameri-
cans Saturday, it is now evident, alone
prevented an uprising.
The provost marshal has requested
that two more regiments be detained
for the protection Of Manila. Three
thousand troops are now actually in
the city.

March's battalion of the Third infantry

Philippine Hemp Trade.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Assistant Sec.
retray Of War Meiklejohn, in letter
to Representative Long, OF Kansas, re.
garding the opening Of the hemp ports
in the Philippine islands, says:
"The estimated exports of hemp
from the Philippine islands for one
year of American occupation will ap-
proximate 100000 tons, of which
amount $4,000 tons should be credited
to the United States. This places the
estimated exports to the United States
for the year of American occupation
at about 1000 tons less than the ex-
ports of 1907. This is accounted for
by the fact that there have been opened
for shipment only three ports OF the
Philippine islands.
EVERY effort has been made by the
war department. in the past and will be
made in the future to comply with re-
quests to open all the so-called hemp
ports of the islands"

New York, Jan. 1.-The two seven
story buildings at 425 to 435 East
Twenty fourth street, occupied princi

liam Campbell & Co., were destroyed
by fire tonight. The loss is fully
$500,000. The plant of the New York
Hygienic Ice Company, which occu'

pany, on the first and second floors o1
the same building, were totally de-
stroyed. A large portion of the east

and was, on account of the fire, cast
into complete darkness. The Campbell
company employed 400 hands, who
will be thrown out of work by the fire.
The properties of all three firms are de-
stroyed beyond the hope of saving a
dollars worth. The losses are partly
covered by insurance.

floor O. the building, and escaped with
great difficulty. All were severely
burned. shaughnessy and Bessinger
were sent to Bellevue hospital. The
other hook-and- ladder men were caught
on one of the high window ledges, with
the flames roaring all around them and
the dense smoke making them almost
imperceptible from the street. Exten-
sion ladders were run and fremen
brought them down in an almost un-
conscious condition. One of the men,
