BRG ANS BALTIMORE TALK
Discusses Taxes, Currency, Trusts
and the Philippines and the
Fall o. the Republic.

Baltimore, Jan 22.-W j Bry-
an, delivered an address here to-
night upon the political questions
OF the day to an audience which
hIIed the Music Hail, the biggest
auditorium in the city, and which
greeted him and the remark. with
greatest enthusiasm. The meet ,
Ing was held under the auspices
or the Maryland Democratic as
soclatl0n, one of the free silver
wings of the democratic party Of
the State, and was not encouraped
In any manner by the IeguIar or
ganlzatiOn. In fact, the latter
held strictly aIoof from any par
tlclpation in the affair. They
made no effort to discourage it in
any manner, but not one of the
democratic leaders appeared on
the platform, and an offer of
stage tickets was politely declined
ihy the principal members or the
democratic State central commits
tees.
With the party who came from
Washington with Mr. Bryan were
Senator Tillman, of South Caro-
lima; Congr essmen SuIzer, of New
York; Richardson, Of Tel nessee !:
Jones, of Virginia, and OAR
mOnd, of Missouri. 1t was nearly
5 O'Clock when the party reached
the Music hall, when the crowd
greeted him uproariously.
Mr. Bryan said IN part:

beginning that my happiness does
not depend upon any honor which
the people of this nation can con
fer; neither do | believe that this

Is but an atom compared with

"In 1896 the voters proved
that they could control the policy
of the party, and during the last
three years they have proven that
they could hold what they gained
in 1896, in spite of newspapers;
in spite OF railroads; in spite of
banks, and in spite of every in
fuence supposed to obtain; the
plain people of the democratic
party have stood and now stand

hal advocated such a measure in
1896, he declared, Mr. Mckinley
would never have been president.
After fully discussing the cur.
rency question, Mr. Bryan took
up the trusts, which he discussed
at great length, insisting that the
republican party had no intention
whatever of interfering with s ch
corporations under any circum-
stances. From the trusts he pass
cd to a discussion OF the standing
army, and he declared that the
presence of 100, 900 soldiers in
this country and the Philippines
was but a step toward mihtarism.
He discussed the problem of
the Philippines from the point of
commerce, civilization and re-
ligion, and cited the results OF
English government in India to
show that none of these would be
accomplished in the Philippines.

: IN THE HOTEL OFFICE.
ASingular Story Of q Man Who Met
One Who Had Known Him
. Years Before.

't'.t~t''s~t''t~t''t''t'tt-t''t'
1t was a hotel clerk who told me this.
If you make friends with hotel clerk,
you will generally find him ready to
tell you stories, and sometimes the sto-
ries are good.
The hotel is a New York one and not
one of those particularly gilded, plate
glassed and velvety piles where every
thing seems to be for splendor and
nothing for comfort. One great at
traction about the house Is its wide,
roomy hall, which is always warm in
winter and always cool in summer.
You will find, sitting and sprawlng
about the long, broad lounges and the
big chairs, dozens Of men who are not
registered at the hotel, nor ever have
been, nor have.even invested in small
glass of beer ut the bar Of the adjoin-
ing cafe.
One day in particular, in the month
of February. was great harvest time
for that hotel hall. Every seat was &C.
cupied, and the clerk shrewdly guessed
that the fine, driving snow that had
been filling up all the chinks of the
window frames had much to do with
the size Of the gathering about the
heaters. Presently Il man in some
what wornout Overcoat entered and be-
gan kicking snow from his feet and
showering it from every part of his
person.
The clerk. who had nothing else in
particular TO do just at that moment,
saw that the large number Of idlers
who crowded the benches rather dis
concerted him. In fact, the clerk no
ticed that the last conner was looking
decidedly annoyed and guessed that
his annoyance proceeded from the evil
dent fact that there was no seat for
him. He would have to loaf standing or
else go into the cafe and let waiter
come and ask him what he would take,
which would be announcement in the
absence of the wherewithal to pay.
The newcomer looked at him and
seemed to take n sudden resolution, as
IL he had made up his mind that that
clerk ought to be satisfied of his having
some particular business in there.
Having got his hat and his discolored
overcoat finally clear Of snow, he walk
ed up to the desk boldly and asked, us
Mr.. Farquharson stopping here"
(Which Mr.. FarquharsOn, sir? What
is his name?"
"Er-um-er-Ronald-Ronald Farqu-
larson"
"Where does he register from?" the
clerk asked, solemnly looking at the
register.
"FrOm-er-
"Ronald Farquharson, Ottawa, Can
ada" the clerk repeated, keeping his
finger ON one spot on the page of the
register. do you wish to see Mr.. Far
quharson? l don't know whether he's
In. Yes; his key Is here. Will you
send up your card, sir?"
The clerk had some little difficulty in
keeping his face straight while he
made these routine inquiries Of the Wis
itor, for the visitors eyes seemed about
to pop out of his head. He opened his
mouth once or twice before speaking.
"Well-er-yes-that-is"-
"Tingv' the bell sounded, and por-
ter came forward to take the visitors

man who had come through the snow
storm to see Mr.. Ronald Farquharson
of Ottawa. Canada.
A blank card was produced, and the
visitor. with some evident hesitation.
wrote on it "John Henry Robinson"
The bellboy took the card away on n
silver waiter. and John Henry walked
up and down, seeming. as the clerk
thought. rather nervous.
Presently fOrid young man in
brown tweeds came from the passage
on one side of the clerks desk. The
young man was carrying card in his
hand and seemed puzzled.
"Where is this person" he said.
showing the card to the clerk.
"Mr. Robinson. sir? There he Is,
walking toward the door now. His
back is turned"
"Did he say he knew me?"
"He asked for Mr.. Ronald Farquhar-
son, Ottawa. Canada"
"Got my whole name all rightT'
"Yes; he had ii rs pat as you have
it"
THAT'S funny" said Mr.. Ronald Far
quharson. Il have known good many
Robinsons in my time. but | never
knew that any Of them lived in New
York; beg your pardon. sir" he add
ed, turning to the visitor, who was
now near the desk. II think this is
your card You have the advantage OF
me-"
"Oh, yes" said the man in the frayed
overcoat, laughing rather forced
laugh. You're Mr.. Ronald Farquhar-
son-er-of Ottawa Ottawa, Canada.

know"

That's right. Going to make long

perhaps you'll give me some idea as to
what your business may be with me-
"My business? Oh, yes. Well, you
see, we Americans are always anxious
to learn the views of prominent Cana

"Oh, about about annexation, you
know"
81 see. Well, why don't you 90 and
ask Mr.. James Scott Mulrhead or some

That's it. | haven't had much expert

laughed. Then. looking his visitor
straight in the face, he said, What

more and more nervous. while the Ca
madam seemed to be more and more
thOughtfully Interested in the inter
view.
On hearing that his visitor represent

HELP THE ORPHANS.

The state and all its people are

the three-fold gospel of training
