The Manner of Man He Is.

1t is not enough that a candidate for
president of the United States should
be able to utter the maximum number
Of words in the minimum number of
hours. A photograph could stand that
test. His words must mean something.
The statements Of fact which they on
vey must be unassailable. The thought
behind them must be clear and true.
The logic that links them together must
be sound. Mr.. Bryan is now address,
ing the people of this state on public
issues. Let us see how far certain ex-
p~ressions from his speeches since he
entered Washington win bear the light.
The Republican party has done nothing
since 1896.
passed the financial bill establishing the
gold standard. freed Cuba and con-
quered Spain. If we make no note of
minor achievements, how can a man
who processes to think honestly speak
these words?
The Republican party dare not measure
life by trade; they dare not measure a
quart of blood by the dollar.
Very true, and no Republican las
ever thought of doing it. This is the
cross of gold'' style of oratory, and
very poor stuff 1t is.
I am opposed to admitting 10000 600 Ma
lays to American citizenship.
So are Republicans. The only pro-
posal to admit them comes from the
Democrats who insist that the constI-
tuition extends over all new territory.
For that W. win not give up the Philip
pines is not a debatable issue but a
settled fact.
If congress had taken proper steps to-
ward the Philippine Islands, not a gun
would have been fired.
If Mr.. Bryan's idea of proper steps,
had prevailed the guns of A~guinaldo's
followers would today be busy with the
murder of all who resisted his dictator
ship.
Today we are drifting away from the
DtNididtioh VI independence 10 monarchy.
We dislike to use hard words, but
whoever uses the word monarchy In
connection with any possible future for
the United States must be a demagogue
OF hysterical.
Citations like these could be multi
piled indefinitely, but surely these are
enough. The American voter has no
appetite for such a meal. He responds
readily to the appeal to intellect, to
heart, to conscience. The most chart
table judgment must confess that Mr..
Bryan's speeches are mostly rant. Rant
of an order really superior to this could
not make him president when 1t had
the attraction of novelty and depression
had made men keener to resent than to
think. What can he expect of it today?
\ protocol has been signed extending
for six months the period allowed Span
ish residents in the Philippine islands to
elect whether they shall remain Span
ish subjects or adopt the nationality of
the territory in which they reside. Like
some other people, they cannot take de-
CiSiVp action until tho raipy uangon 10

THE CAT SPOKE FRENCH.
Nearly Pinned Away Until some One Knew
Ifs Language and spoke IL.

From the Philadelphia Press.
A French lady. well known in Philadel-
phia. tells a pathetic little incident which
occurred at a cat show recently held in
one OF our large shops.
Among all the proud. beautiful Angoras
that were being admired and petted by
the throng erowding the show was one
forlorn little cat sitting dejectedly in a
corner with It's head against the wall
II was the object OF much sympathy
and inquiry among the visitors, and the
lady learned that this cat had come from
France
wondering II this could be so, she
called to it in her native tongue In
stantly the little creature raised its head
and came eagerly forward. Then as the
lady continued 10 talk TO it in French the
cat began to purr, and walked up and
down. rubbing against the wires Of the
cage with the most evident delight.
The people who had witnessed the incl
dent gathered eagerly around. and, en-
barrassed by the publicity OF her posi-
ton. the lady reiterated until the crowd
should have dispersed.
Returning a few moment later, she
found her little protege once more in his
corner. as homesick and detected as be-
fore When she called him again. the cat
al once forgot his loneliness and ran for
ward to pUrr and be petted as before
Then the situation became known to
the bystanders. and several other people
with knowledge OF French began TO talk
to the little foreigner. When the lady
left he was still being we'll entertained.
and was perfectly happy, under the i'm
preston that he had been suddenly trans
ported across the ocean and was once
more at home in France.
Ii was the most amusing sight. and the
only thing that bothers the lady now is
whether. after all. French family bought
it: whether the lonely little thing is learn
ing English.

killing Soldiers.

From Golfers Weekly.
The fact that most of the artilley prac-
tice in the Transvaal war has appeared
so Ineffective on both sides need surprise
no one. 1t is a well-known fact that on
an average only one bullet out of 500 fired
in battle strikes home.
During the FrancO-German war the
German artillery fired $4,000 shots. and
the infantry 2000O,000. This terrible hail
Of shot and bullets. sufficient to extermin-
ate a nation, resulted in a loss of 45, 900
men to the French. Thus every French
man killed involved an expenditure of bull
lets sufficient to kill a regiment
OF the $4,000 600 bullets fired by the Rus
slams during the Crimean war; 1852. 900
failed to fulfill their errand of death, and
were, for practical purposes of destruc-
ton. wasted. The remaining $1,000 alone
which could have easily been fired by a
single regiment within the space of an
hour, found their billet. This means that
$40 bullets were fired before a single SOL
der of the allied troops was killed.
The British in the same war were more
fortunate in their aim. OF Is. 600 900 bull
lets fired. LOCO were fatal; one bullet out
of every 100 fired thus accounting for one
Russian.
The French soldiers fl is estimated, fir
ed 100000 bullets which resulted in the
death Of 1900 Russians, or at the rate of
one fatal bullet 10 every $50 fired.
This would make il appear that the
Frenchmen are better shots than Eng
liShmen, but, as d matter of fact. the
French total. of hits was brought up so
high only by one or TWO of the last actions
al close range.
