From every part of the Union are
democrats leaving the Bryal standard
and enrolling themselves under the
standard of honest politics and patri-
otic national policy. These men cannot
support the Organic policies, because
such are distinctly hostile to the integ-
rity Of our government and because
they see further the high priest of dis
honest dollars, of traitorous sympathy
with rebellion. the head man trying to
stir mp class hatreds and preaching the
doctrine of disseEtion. These men We're
democrats but they look with disdain
upon the man and his followers who
would antagonize one part of the popn-
lation against the other.

The noblest sentiment in the human
heart, after love of God, is love Of couE
try, and that includes love of home. the
corner stone of its strength and safety.
The United States has never repudi-
ated national obligation either to its
creditors or to humanity 1t win not

a blow except for civilization and never
struck its colors
This republic rests not upon force, not
upon the strength of our armies or our
navies, but upon the masterful power of
the American people,
It is to me most gratifying to find the
people taking an interest in their gov
eminent, All power rests with them,

selected to execute their will, are but
their servants
The best sentiment, the hottest senti-

We are not there to establish an inn
perial government: but we are there to
establish government of liberty under
law, protection to life and property. and
to all who dwell there.
One thing that can be said Of this ma
ton. for which we should give all
thanksgiving and praise, is that it never
raised its arm against humanity, never
struck blow against liberty, never

wherewith to make good the sartorial de-
ficiencies Of painted and sculptured fig

The session has given us two notable
specimens of what may be called the reduc-
Ito ad absurdum argument. 1t was with no
friendly intent toward the bill compelling
shopkeepers to provide seats for their as
sistants that Mr. James Lowther gave no
tice that he would move that each seat
should have q cushion or stuffing not less
than three inches thick and be fitted with
rests. similarly upholstered, for the arms
More subtle was the method by which the
Earl of Kimberley cast ridicule upon those
who contended that in the cruelty of wild
animals in captivity bill there lurked dan
ger to various forms of sport. With per-
feet gravity he suggested that the bill
would probably put an end to fishing, with
a worm as bait. The peers looked their
surprise, and he therefore proceeded to
demonstrate the logical soundness Of his
proposition. ''This Is BILL" he in effect
said ito prevent cruelty to wild animals
in captivity; the schedule says the word
animal shall be held to include reptile:
worm may be held to be reptile: worm
impaled on hook must certainly Be held
to be in captivity. therefore the angler who
uses a live worm for would be guilty
Of cruelty to an animal in captivity.

And vet the picture is not somber in all its
colors There have been bright debates,
powerful speeches, attacks dauntiessly
made and skillfully and vigorously repelled.
Moreover, the session has given us many
witty sayings and more than the average
number OF oddities of phrase, which. when
the humor is unconscious, both houses so
gIeefully welcome. To Mr.. Flavin the COM
mons have been indebted for several de-
liRhtfully comical outbursts. He is man
of quick temper. but there Is aInlap1i1ty IN

with himself for being angry with those

Unveiled at Fort Wayne. Ind.-Bryal
Delivers Address.

Delivers Address.
A monunaent in memory Of Gen. H. w.
Lawton was unveiled at Fort Wayne, Ind,
yesterday. The ceremony occurred under
the auspices of the Union Veteran Legion,
and Col William Jennings Bryan was the
principal orator Of the occasion. His adj
dress was non-partisan. Addresses were
made by Major w. W. Barnett, who partic-
ipated in the Spanish war; by Mr. Henry F.
Scherer mayor Of the city. and by Gov.
Mount, the present state executive.
Major Barnett told how Gen. Lawton had
captured from the Filipinos the little brass
cannon which crowned the stone monument
In front Of the stand, and had decided that
II be presented to his home city. Major
Barnett eulogized Gen. Lawton in strong
terms saying that he was recognized as the
highest type Of American citizenship.
The Introductory portion OF Gov: Mount
address was also largely biographical and
eulogistic. The governor then took up In
directly the Philippine question. denouncing
Agunaldo. and showing tendency to con-
denim the insurgents and their sympa thizers.
At the conclusion Of the governors adj
dress, Mr.. Bryan was introduced. and said,
in part: , >. u.,.,. :. ..
a citizen of this republic, and / am here
to speak to you, not as candidate for
office, but as citizen.
Mr. BRYAN then referred to his own record
as a soldier and said that his military ser
vice. brief as 1t was, had been SUFFICIENT TO
make him realize something of the risk
that the soldier takes.
Mr.. Bryan then paid high tribute to the
character of the volunteer soldier He said
that there were victories of peace as well as
of war, and that he longed for 1.-The time
to come when no hostile arm will be raised
against fellow-man." In this connection
he quoted Lincoln's Harrisburg speech
while on his way to the Inauguration before
the beginning OF the civil war.
Mr. Bryan declared that there could be no
greater mistake than to assume that the
people Of any political party are unpatriotic,

COTTON is AGAIN king"
LEADS THE EXPORTS OF OUR PRO-
DUCTS.
Even Exceeds the Shipments of
Breadstufs and il Greater Than
Any Article of Manufacture.

Cotton is again king in the export rec
ord of the United States. Dollar wheat in
1898 brought the expectation of bread
stuffs far above that of cotton, but 10-cent
cotton in 1900 brings that agricultural pro-
duct again into first place In the record
of exports by single articles. The seven
months ending July. 1900 showed an ex-
portatton of cotton amounting to $142,576
O97, while of breadstuffs the total exporta-
ton during the same period was 1888 ,304,
500; that of provisions, $1O8, sos $50. and
that OF mineral oil, the next largest item,
$40, 49s, ISL. The general group "manufac-
lures is larger than that of cotton alone,
but no single item or even the group
''breadstuffs," which includes wheat, corn,
oats, barley, rye, &c, equals cotton during
the seven months ending with July, 1900.
Cotton expectations and movements are
measured usually by what is termed the
cotton year, which ends with the month
Of August. The treasury bureau of sta
tfstics has just received the record of
August expectations, and is thus able to
make up the figures for the cotton year"
and compare them with those of the pre-
ceding year. These reports, which are of
preliminary nature, include about 9S per
cent Of the total exports of cotton, and
the comparison of the present year is made
with the similar reports of preceding years
the relative showing for the various years
Is fair one
study of the expectation of cotton sup
piled by these figures shows that the ex-
ports of raw cotton during the cotton year
ending with August, 1900. are greater in
value than in any preceding cotton year
since 1892 and the average price per pound
greater than on any occasion since 1893,
except in the year 1896.
The average export price of cotton in
August, 1900. was 81 cents per pound as
against an average of SO cents during the
year 1899 and SIS cents in 1895, and is higher
than the average of any year since 1891.
The following table shows the quantity,
value and average price per pound of cot
ton exported during each cotton year.

Robertson was held to have committed a
bull when he declared that the extraVa-

ference of the attention Of parliament from
one subject to another often affords amuse-

even of solemnity had settled down upon

Fun With the Censor.
Mr.. Samuel Smith is very serious and
solemn. but by his speeches on what he re-
CARDS as the immortality Of modern plays
and the disgraceful condition of the Lon
don streets he was the cause of much
amusement. He is so sincere and earnest
In his desire for reform that Mr.. T. B.
Curran's question as to whether his Views
on the latter point were derived from per-
sonal experience was comtcal from Its very
audacity. Certainly his motion for strict
er supervision Of theatrical performances
led to one Of the brightest debates OF the
session. Mr.. T. p O'Connors description
of the sort of play which. If he could like
any play. Mr.. Smith would prefer to see
produced was admirable-"An Adelphi mel
odrama with a villain (Mr. Bowles suggest
ed a tory. not necessarily a tory. but a
baron, and perhaps a marquis with all the
vices of the aristocracy. and hero Of the
humber classes with all the virtues of the
humber classes. in which, of course there
was an Irishman with all the humor; by
which 1t was conclusively proved that vir-
tue. especially in the humber classes, was
always triumphant. and vice. especially in
the higher classes, was always visited with
just punishment"
Then came Mr.. Bowles. who, comforting
Mr.. Smith with the assurance that theat-
rical plays were intoierably dull, asked the
honorable gentleman where, IL he wished
to see play Of the passions, he could be
SO certain to find it as in the house OF
