particularly active ana buoyant at the
highest price ever attained by it, The
best price OF the day and the closing in
this stock was &c Is. The buying was
said to be for pools largely but it is
known that there is much good invest
ment buying in it as we'll. The Atchison
statement for February is nearly due,
and il is said that IL will be equal to any
that has gone before. Rock Island was

A Bryanite from luzon.

The noisy little band Of Boston
neutrality-suspicious. has always eN-
hibited an abnormal capacity for blum
dering but by general agreement their
Of Sexto Lopez to aid the Bryan cam
paign. This Filipino shows by coming
here that he does not believe his own
extravagant statements about the
tyranny" Of President Mckinley, I'M
less, indeed, he wants to get into
trouble that he may pose as a martyr.
He says he wants to explain the Fill
pino side, but he fails to show his
credentials. There have been no re-
ports Of mass meetings of the people Of
the Philippines TO send a delegate here.
There seems to be every reason 70 be
lieve that Senior Lopez represents only
the fugitive Agunaldo who, in turn.
has not shown himself to represent
anybody outside the one tribe Of
Tagals.
But he will be listened to, for the
American people are tolerant and
patient, and as long as he does not
abuse the American flag and the
American soldier any worse than do
the other Bryanites on the stump his
presence will be endured. Some Of the
Tagal sympathizers in Boston object
to Lopez's presence as inexpedient and
damaging; others urge that he join
Carl Schurz, Richard Olney. ex-Gov-
ernor Altgeld. and Burke Cochran in q
grand tour of the country. He would
probably travel with Bryan We're it not
that that orator insists on being the
whole thing in his show. Those who
enjoy speeches by American Tagals
will be doubly glad to listen to their
doctrine from the lips of Aguinaldo's
bosom friend and former secretary
A sonnet of welcome by Garrison is in
order, but has not yet been issued. Had
it been possible, the Boston Tagal
junta would like to have imported as
their representative hero the man who
shot General Lawton but Lopez makes
good substitute. for he stands for the
same principles. With such a man on
the stump and at the head Of the liter
airy bureau. the Bryan Aguinaldo cam
paign should receive a great impetus.

Dimly Eow the Junc-light gluws.
on her bosom's snow are cleaning
Blood-red petals Of the rose.
And her ripping golden tresscs
That flashed back the light OF day,
on which love pressed fond CaresseS.
Now are thickly strewn with gray;
Long she fingers by the bowers
With a farewell In her eyes,
