BRYAN FOR EXPANSION.
Again Defines His Position on
Territorial Extension.

Minneapolis MINI, Jan 11.-Last ev-
ening Mr.. Bryan, Mayor Gray, Cover
nor Lind and others addressed a large
crowd at the exposition building.
At the conclusion of the speeches a
banquet was held at the West hotel at
which between five and six hundred
were present. Mr.. Bryan and Charles
A .Towne were among the speakers.
In an interview Mr.. Bryan said:
Il am a firm believer in the enlarge
ment and extension of the limits of the
republic. I do not mean the extension
by the addition of contiguous territory,
nor to limit myself to that.
Whenever there is a people intelli-
gent enough to form a part of this re-
public, it is my belief that they should
be taken in.
Wherever there is a people who are
capable of having a voice and a repre-
sentation in this government there the
limits of the republic may be extended.
The Filipinos are not such people.
The Democratic party has ever favored
the extension of the limits of this re-
public, but it has never advocated the
acquisition of subject territory, to be
held under colonial government

THEIR LAST LOOK.
Forty Thousand People Gaze on
the Remains of DR.. McGlynn.

New York Jan. 1.-THE funeral to-
day of the Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn
in st. Stephens church of which he was
formerly the pastor, was the occasion
of a manifestation of popular affection
such as has rarely been witnessed. The
coffin containing the remains of the be-
loved priest was deposited at the altar
rail of the church and from $50 a. m,
until the doors We're closed at 1890 p.
m, 10000 persons, it is estimated, looked
upon the face of the dead For four
hours a compact stream CT humanity
poured into the church. They moved in
pairs up the middle aisle to the foot of
the coffin. There they parted one per-
son always going to the right the other
to the left, and then after gazing upon
the face that had been loved by so
many thousands, they passed out of
the church.
Many remained in the church and
the pews were crowded with more than
$500 persons, long before the doors were
closed. At that time there were many
on the street who had not been able to
gain admission.
The obsequies began at $50 with a
solemn chant for the dead, conducted
by Rev Thomas F. Mclaughlin and
Rev. Thomas O'ConnoI of St. Stephens.

get together on some sort of a reason
able basis with fairness to all parties
concerned, then there will be an amic-
able settlement. Not as a political ques-
tion will it be settled, but as a great
economic question which interests you
and interests me. When the farmers of
Kansas take up this question in this
way, every political party will be in
favor of it. When the sentiment is
crystallized and a settlement sought on
a reasonable business basis you will
accomplish it.
THE Kansas farmer is piling up
wealth. He enlists with God Who fur
nishes sunshine and rain and brings or
der out of chaos. You of all men ought
to have the benefit of your industry
You will have it too, if you apply the
same business sense in farming that
you apply in other business
IF you make the subject of freight
rates a. political question have as
much faith in one party as the other.
But, if you go at it in a business way,
the agricultural classes will right this
great wrong fairly to everybody. Do
these things and you will, as the great
est factors in the development of the
state. put Kansas on the road
which leads to the very stars.
From the professions of all political
parties-One as much as the Other-we
are led to believe the farmer is the only
pebble on the beach.
THE farmer, however, is the most
important factor in our affairs. In times
of war the farm furnishes the best SOL
diers; in times of peace the best of
citizens The farmer is not dependant
upon unions or any other organization,
but works as an Individual. The farmer
is the only producer. Labor cuts trees,
makes boards, and from the boards
tables, but creates nothing. The farm
er casts his fortunes with the elements
the rain, the sunshine, the dew, and be-
comes a creator.
The Kansas farmer has made, by
this years crops, the state more and
better talked about than ever before.
The farmer of today combines labor
and brains-inte1ligen in these
days of competition the farmer. must
put into his business the same elements
that are a necessity in the banking
business.
''The assessed valuation of the Kan
sas farmer-the farm-is S162, 900 900.
That's your capital. The personal prop
erty is assessed at $57, 900, 900. That's
largely yours.

HIDE and SEEK.
Game Being Played by Opposing
Political Factions
On the Philippine Question in
the U. s. Senate.

Washington, Jan. 11-An unusual
amount of routine business, including
the presentation of petitions and intro
duction of bills, was transacted by the
senate today. Among the bills intro
duced was one by Spooner CWis-) pro-
viding in brief that when the insurrec-
ton in the Philippines shall have been
suppressed, the government of the ISL
ands shall be vested in such person, or
persons as the president may direct un-
til congress shall direct how the islands
shall be governed
The resolution of Senator Pettigrew
regarding attempts to open negotiations
with the FilipinOS was taken up. Sena-
tor HOar had offered a similar reSolu-
ton of broader scope.
Mr. Lodge offered a, further amend
ment to include any information coming
to the war department of plans of peo-
pie of the Philippines in arms against
uprising in the city Of NJ nila for the
destruction of foreign property and
massacre of residents; also regarding
treatment of prisoners by insurgents.
Mr.. Lodge referred to the published re-
ports of the plan to throw dynamite
bombs during the funeral of Gen Law
ton to create diversion during which an
uprising was to occur. His amendment
also covered information regarding the
anti-imperialistic utterances which
were being disseminated among the in
surgents and alleged documents circu-
lated among United States soldiers
serving in the Philippines last summer
urging them not to re-enlist Informa-
ton regarding all these facts Mr. Lodge
said should be known.
Mr.. Rawlins suggested that if the

Thank were offered for bountiful har-
vests The bishop said:
"Our sowings have been our prayers;
the bountiful harvests Thy answers"
In the address of welcome on behalf
of the city of Topeka, City attorney w.
A. S. Bird provoked applause by say
ing:
This the most important branch of
business in our state, should be better
represented and I hope the exposition
which you propose will be a winner. "
Mr.. Bird talked about the women of
the Kansas farms being able to make
bread, butter, hats, play the piano, and
a lot of other useful things; said the
farmer boy of today knows more than
the average business man, and drew
this moral:
Don't discourage the boys and girls
with the farm. The future of this coun-
try is not with the politicians, the doc
tors, lawyers, bankers. or professional
man, but it is with the farmer. Take
out the farmer and what have you left.
Nothing"
Mr.. Bird advocated the idea of an
appropriation of $4,000 to hold an ex-
position at some point in the state.
Have thousands instead of hundreds,
present; have renowned lecturers, show
your horses, hogs, cattle and gain new
IDEAS and otherwise develop the busi-
ness in which you are engaged"
T. A Hubbard of Rome, Sumner coun-
ty president of the board, responded to
the addresses of welcome. Mr.. Hub
bard is one of the best natured men in
Kansas. He is more than six feet high,
and every move he makes indicates
Kindness and good nature. He is a
talker too, and last night amused his
hearers greatly. He started in by say
ing:
"If I had the eloquence of Ingersoll;
the polish Of our own ingalls, or the wit
of Chauncey NJ. Depew I might be able
to express myself concerning Topeka. -
Mr. Hubbard then called attention to
the governors remarks, "demolishing
the railroads also to the decision of
Judge Hook, demolishing the railroad
court. At this everybody laughed, only
to be convulsed again when Mr.. Hub
bard said:
LAS the distinguished Judge Lit Crum
says: We are strictly in the swim -

visiting Topeka for q years. During
all of this time. he said. I have never
seen drunken man or heard a quarrel
in the city" He then referred to the
kindness of the governor to the Twen-
tieth Kansas and said: I'VE shall new
er forget these things and we all hope
that his remaining four years as gov
ernor will be bright and that at the
close he win hear: Well done thou good
and faithful servant. come up little
higher
In nominating Stanley for the senate
Mr.. Hubbard provoked hearty applause
from his auditors.
Referring to Mr.. Birds address Mr..
Hubbard said: I'VE hope the malt or
dinancese will be enforced during our
stay here, but in the event any of our
members get caught, hope they will be
sent home with a c. 0. D. tag on them.
My visits to Topeka are the brightest
spots in my memories of Kansas. The
broad streets are eXcelled only by the
broad minds of the citizens who are ex-
celled only by the beautiful women
THE FARMER BOY.
William Allaman of Wallace county,
short grass farmer in earnest told
of the early struggles in that part of
the state; of the sod house. of the crop
failures; grasshoppers and other pesti-
lences, but showed how in later years
the irrigation systems, pumps and wind
mills, cattle and business sense have
combined to make the country prosper
GUS and the people happy.
The programme closed by an eloquent
lecture, THE Farmer Boy the Prince
of the Twentieth Century, delivered by
DR.. Carl Swensson, president of Bethany
college at Lindsborg. He compared
the march of civilization to a great
procession headed by the chariot of
progress in which the Kansas farmer
boy appeared as the central and most
important figure. He talked of the
Kansas hen, the COW, streets and their
sisters, hogs, horses and all other pro-
duction of Kansas. He said of the
hog:
THE hog in retrospection seems to
say; We four-legged hogs don't get in
to the newspapers as often as the two
legged ones but we bring money which
gets into the bank" OF the horse he
said: They talk of electricity and
compressed air but the horse has the
consolation of knowing that he shall
continue to be the silent, trusted wit
ness of the first awkward kiss given by
the farmer boy to his sweetheart as she
opposes but willingly receives it while
the sweet, sweet story of his love is
told to her" DR.. Swensson also said:
There are on earth some crack
Drained and idiotic fools who look with
arrogance upon the farmer boy. May
God have mercy upon their poor souls
