Talk of an extra session of congress
has abated. News from the Orient is
still discouraging, yet there is moth
ing that now suggests change of the
policy this government has been persu-
ing. The president in the middle of a
campaign will avoid an extra session
If there is any possible way of doing So
If the United States is to act in China
commensurate with the Importance Of
the situation it will take more money
and more men. The president has
authority, as far as money is concern
ed, and there are men in the Philip
pines. The Philippine war being 'over,"
it certainly suggests that $4,000 soldiers
are not needed there.

THAT LAST APPEAL.

The last word from the Americans in
Picking was an appeal, heartrending in
intensity. for aid. The friends at home
were asked to stir UP the government
to do something to put down the in
surrection. In this appeal Is the ac-
companying charge that the govern
ment Of the United States had been
direlect in its protection to its subjects.
Had the ministers and missionaries
appealed to the government first? Had
they found that the government, with
its accustomed waiting policy, had paid
no attention to the appeal and then
resorted to the appeal to the people to
give the government an expression of
public opinion to spur it to action?
There are indications that such is the
fact. Americans want the thing done
right IL it is going to be done at all
and hope that an adequate force will
be sent to accomplish what the admin
istration has set out to do, IL 1t has set
out to do anything. While the govern
ment is culpable for allowing the coun-
try to get into a position that it has
to take part in every little European
squabble and while deploring that fact,
yet whether we are right or wrong We
do not like to get licked by lot Of
tails. If this country wasn't so
closely allied to England, whom the
Chinese hate with most cordial
hatred, there would have been no mas
sacre of Americans, much as the
Celestials despise the missionaries and
foreigners generally. America could
have stood aloof and simply asked pro-
lection for her subjects and 1t would
have been given, for this isn't ex-
were, with a few boats and a few men,
menacing China but without force
enough to capture a single squadron.
Murder and massacre followed and
there was no adequate protection at
hand. 1t is even said that American
soldiers had to be rescued by Russians
because their guns were not as good as
those of the wearers Of the queue. This
state of things is not putting the
American people in very good humor
over the Chinese question and they will
begin to ask questions very shortly II
isn't done.

THE REAL KEYNOTE.

Some keynotes We're promised from
some were disseminated for consump-
ton throughout the United States ex-
cept Porto Rico. There was a great
palaver about duty but destiny was a
little absent, owing to the fact that
there is a disposition to go slow on
the destiny till it is discovered where
it is going to light. There was
something about prosperity at home
and prestige abroad" which will be one
Of the catch phrases of the campaign
and the presidents utterance on i'm
perialism was supposed to be a collar
plexus blow but it fails utterly in the
light of the fact that the Filipinos have
simply changed masters, one set Of i'm
perialists being kicked out to let an
other set in. So the keynotes are not
particularly potent so far as the presi-
dents speech Is concerned.
But nobody else had sounded key
note and Hanna noticed 1t and sound
ed one himself. There were cries for a
speech from the kingmaker but he de-
INJURED, saying: 1.-THE place for the
subject is at the footstool." In that
little sentence is the sum and sub
stance Of the Republican position. 1t
is the position Of all imperialists AMI
lovers Of monarchial government. The
desire Is to set up king that all others
may be subjects and Mr.. Hanna plainly
told the fellows who were not kings
where their place was. "The place for
the subject" said Hanna, "is at the
footstool-" 1t was the real keynote of
the day--the paramount truth of the
occasion. 1t was notice to every man.
woman and child under the flag Of the
United States that they no longer had
sovereign rights. 1t was notice that
their boast that this is the freest coun-
try in the world would soon be shown to
be without premise. 1t was a warning
to all the people Of the country what
fmay be expected when the imperialists
get In for q erotindupg in. the second
term. The people are no longer thi
sovereigns. Their place is at the foot
stool of greatness. The only sovereig:
in this country is the imperialist W.
are to have the kind Of freedom the
FiIipinos have, the benevolent assimila
tioh kind that is shot out Of gun. W.
are to be given the sort of government
the Porto Ricans have-taxation with
out representation. We are to be fret
as the Cubans are-free to pay the ia,
and watch the senatorial bribery ex
perts loot the treasury and the tricks
ter grow fat from the public Golfers
4aAu we are to be called upon to do is L
look aloft and pay up.
The keynote has been sounded.
"The place for the subject u at tn
footstool."

MIR. BRYAN NOT A TRIMMER.

Expediency is not the keynote OF
William ]. Bryan's campaign. He is not
the sort to blow hot or cold, as the oc-
casion seems to demand. Believing he
is right, he is man enough to stand for
that right. Speaking few days since
he said:
II am not anxious enough for the
nomination to purchase it by sacri-
ficing what 1 believe to be right. II
my principles are so unpopular as gold
Democrats think, why not nominate q
gold Democrat? ~
when you look into the matter, you
will find that my strength Qf l have
any Is not personal, but Is due to the
principles 1 advocate. The only part
that is personal is the belief among
our people that I am honest and will
fulfill every pledge 1 make. If give
them any reason to doubt my willing
ness to go down to defeat rather than
abandon my convictions they would
turn against me In moment.
But they shall have no reason to
lose faith.
II do not care to hold office unless
1t enables me to do something to aid
these people in their fight against
wealth, and to make peace with the
money trust would render all efforts
useless"
An exchange comments as follows:
1t is because Mr.. Bryan adhered to
the determination thus expressed that
16 to l is in the Kansas City platform.
The delegates knew that he would not
accept upon a declaration Of principles
in which the coinage question was
evaded, repudiated, compromised or
straddled, and as they were unprepared
and unwilling to nominate another can
didate they formulated and adopted
a money plank to suit him. Because
he insisted upon redeclaration of the
ratio, Mr.. Bryan is represented as a
czar. 1t is libelous to so describe him.
1t was his right to define the conditions
on which he would consent to become
the party candidate, and it was the
right of the party, II it did not like the
conditions, to name another man.
There was no compulsion. The conven-
ton was perfectly free to choose, and
because any other course would have
been impolitic and fatal 1t chose 16 to
1. The body was at liberty to compro-
mise the honor of the party, but against
his consent 1t had no right to compro-
mise the honor Of Mr.. Bryan. 1t wisely
conserved the party honor and thus
made 1t feasible for Mr.. Bryan to be-
come the candidate.

NATIONAL SUFFRAGE BAZAAR
To be Held at Madison Square
Garden In New York, Next

The National American Woman
| Suffrage association Is making exten-
sive preparations for a national bazaar
/ to be held at Madison Square garden
New York, the first week of next De-
cember. All the states will be repre-
| sented by booths, space for a num-
ber having already been secured

ornamental articles will be gladly re-
ceived.
The Brooklyn, Mass, club will con-
tribute cash instead of articles and are
| planning to raise $500 for the fair. This
club has a membership of 177.
The Wheeling, w. Va, club expects ia
contribute some fine specimens Of glass
and china ware, one Of the specialties
| Of Wheeling manufacture.
Miss Helen Morris Lewis, of North
Carolina, has offered to contribute a
number Of her original negro character
dolls, which are said to be extremely
amusing.
Mrs. r. C. Talbot Perkins, president
Of Bedford Political Equality league,
N. Y, has been to Canada and has
maple sugar from some of her relatives
thC ihdpiC ou6dl ic6lohs
Miss Jane Campbell president of the

tion, the largest local suffrage organi-
| cation in the country, has asked each
member to contribute a handkerchief.
If all respond to the request Pennsyl-
vania's booth will have about forty
dozen handkerchiefs to dispose Of.

the bazaar and have appointed as their
bazaar committee, Mrs. Harriet Taylor
Upton, Warren; Mrs. Sarah c. Shrader,
Cincnnati; Mrs. Lucie C. Harmon, To-

EsrABLIsa a A FIRE LINE.

One of the noticeable things in con-
nection with the fire on the public
square Sunday night was the absence
of an established fire line. There was
an immense crowd on the street,
several thousand people having been
attracted by the alarm. They crowded
up to the burning building, got in the
way of the firemen and stood danger
ously near the doorway from which
smoke was issuing in volumes. There
were some policemen present and they
assisted in such manner as Is usual,
but no provision had been made for
the establishing of a fire line and they
did not act in concert, so what they
did availed nothing to keep the crowd
back. 1t was a well known fact that
explosive matter was in the building.
1t also became apparent that some
small explosions were occurring on the
inside of the building. When a large
and disastrous one was to occur was
not within the power Of man to tell.
But the crowd kept right up in front
of the building and crowded about the
doorways. An explosion Of any violence
could not have failed to work serious
bodily harm, and in the panic which
would surely have ensued, many
persons would have been killed or in
jured. A great need Of the police de-
partment is organization for effective
work at fires. 1t is true that Canton
does not have many serious confag-
rations but that does not prove that
there will be none in future. Canton
has an exceptionally strong fire depart
ment and 1t should not be hampered by
the crowds who attend the fires. Some
day this interference will be disastrous
to the city. Let the organization Of
police for duty at fires be established
now, and when 1t Is needed 1t will be
on hand. In lieu of special fire police
a general order to officers as to what
they shall do in such cases would be an
improvement.

10 TO 40 CENT DOLLARS.

An agent of The Wooster Republican
on Monday was taking silver dollars at
their face value in payment of sub
scriptions. They are the same sort OF
dollars that Mr.. Bryan calls the pres
ent legal ratio of 16 to 1" dollars, and of
which he wants the people to have
more, but which Roosevelt, the Repub-
lican candidate for vice-president, calls
40 cent dollars" What Is the matter
with the Republican that 1t allows Its
agents to receive dollars of this sort al
their face value, instead of at the Roos-
evelt appraisement of 40 cents?

The reassuring dispatch from Pekins
that the ministers are safe will be
good news to this government and will
relieve President Mckinley Of the
necessity Of special session of con-
gress 1t is known that this special
session will not be held If it Is possible
to avoid it. Congress is a dangerous
element to have on hand in the middle
of campaign. Too many things are
likely to happen and the effect on tht
election could not be avoided. The
administration would1lose ground ovei
a special session, for It has everything
to conceal, while the Democrats have
the merit Of the argument. A special
session of congress is what is par.
ticularly not wanted Just now. ~

The story that the imperial Chinese
forces have evaded Russia changes the
Oriental situation very materially. 1t
places Russia at once in the foreground,
accentuates her interests there and
will be very potent when it comes to
the matter of partition. And If China
has declared war against Russia what
business will any other power have
in assisting the Gear? and will
Russia be in duty bound being o
belligerent, to divide any of the spoils
of the victory that time will insure
If, as reported, a declaration Of war
has been made or an invasion of terri
