The immense collection of fossil fish
rs acquired from Ohio fields by DR.. vii
liam Clark, of Berea, o.. has just been
purchased by the British museum. The
fhole collection weighed over three tons,
embracing many rare genera and spe-
cies that may never be duplicated, and
as a whole were the most complete set
of these interesting fossils in the world.
DIR. Clark, who has a worldwide repu-
tation as a geologist, has been develop
ing the Ohio fields since 1854, and al
ready has many new genera placed to
his credit.

him as n thing OF terror to frighten
the american people as so many cred
ulous children. Any democrat has
right to protest against this sense
less issue being thrust on a great his
toric party as paramount issue
merely because Mr.. Bryan, at the eX-
pense of the greatest and most glar-
ing personal Inconsistency, wishes it
done.
Can it be willfulness in Mr. Bryan
or is il due to defective reasoning in
him to ignore all evidence and reason
and contend that his country has un-
worthy purposes to make conquest OF
islands and vassals of their people?
In a nightmare of apprehension he
cries out: 81 am not willing that this
nation shall cast aside the omnipotent
weapon Of physical warfare!" The
wav to find out the truth as to
whether this country is seizing the
weapon of physical warfare in the
Philippines is to ascertain what wit
nesses who have investigated the
facts and know them say about it..
The most reliable witnesses are the
members of the Philippine commits
sion. That commission was composed
of democrats as well as republicans,
and some of its members were against
expansion. They were all men Of
high character, acting under oath
and on honor, and of this war they
said:
'Deplorable as war is, the one in
which we are now engaged was un-
avoidable by us. We were attacked
by a bold. adventurous and enthusi
astic army. No alternative was left
us except ignominious retreat
This statement is their verdict, and
goes into history as the truth, and

law is the duty of the American peo-
pie, regardless of party. Opposition
to it now means nothing less than dis
credit to American honor and encour-
agement of resistance to American
effort to restore order and establish
law in legally acquired American ter
ritory-territory acquired by treaty,
the ratification of which MIR. Bryan
went out of his way to advise.
For my part, / do not intend to
agree. in the face of all evidence to
the contrary, that the American peO-
pie, or even any respectable political
party in America, is capable of max
ing vassals and slaves of the Filipinos,
or that the American people or any
respectable political party in my coun-
try are aiders or abettOrS in any
scheme Of conquest. | am not apollo
gizing for the republican party. The
Philippine policy is not the policy of
the republican party alone; Mr.. Bryan
does that party entirely too much
honor in giving it so much credit.
Yet, on the strength of what has been
done. and well done, and on what is
about to be done, and ought to have
been done in the Philippines, Mr..
Bryan bases his speech of acceptance,
contending that the whole thing
means conquest, and that this coun-
try is bent on n deliberate scheme
tending inevitably toward imperial
| ism.
Mr.. Bryan ignores such men as Sem
ator Morgan, and pays so little re-
spect to the intelligent public as to
presume that they will join him in
an unceasing TRADE against eNpan-
| sion. and that he can denOminate as
| the paramount" question the effort
| of America to restore order in its le-
gally acquired possessions by sup
pressing the most groundless insur-
rection known to history. He says
the democratic platform authorizes

PIANOS PLAY PROSPERITY.
Chicago Manufacturers Give Evil
dence of the Good Times
Among Farmers.

Manufacturers of pianos in Chicago
are enjoying a great wave of prosper
ity. Every firm in the city complains
of its inability to keep up with daily
orders. for it is only when business is
tiourishing that people indulge in such
luXuries as pianos and organs. The
farmer has good crops, good prices. and
money to spare, and he is able to beau
tify his home. His demands upon the
city mean steady and profitable en-
ployment for all classes of WOrkmen.
This state of affairs has crowded the
makers of pianos with more orders
than they can fill in several months.
Here are snap shots taken by Wabash
avenue manufacturers:
p. S. Healy Uyon & Healy)-We are
face to face with a proposition of dis
posing of more instruments than we
can manufacture.
f. S. Conway (W W. Kimball com
pany)-There is an immediate market
for every piano which is made, and the
trade is increasing with a growing
per cent from year to year.

We have been forced to open new fac
tory at st. Charles, ILL.,. so that we
might come somewhere near supplying
the demand. Our business at the pres
ent time is unprecedented
John Church (John Church com
pany)-We are further back in our or
ders than we have been ever before, and
can account for it only through the fact
that people seem to have more money
than usual.

which has been steadily increasing

A severe wind and hailstorm struck
Tunnelton, Md, a few nights ago just
after Charles Cozad and his family
had gone to bed. The storm lifted
the whole house except the lower
floor from its foundation and carried
the walls and roof up into the air,
depositing the house right side up
and complete, except for the floor
nearly 100 yards away. The family
nwoke to find themselves sleeping in
the open air, the house having been
literally blown over their heads. Not
one of them was injured.

THE GREAT SHAM ISSUE.
Truth by Georgian About the nry-
ante Bogey of Impe-
riaIism.

Since Mr.. Bryan has been telling
people everywhere that our country
paid 81 so "a head for Filipinos ! have
not expected much in the shape of Il
solid or candid argument from him.
Only few days since, in his own
town of Lincoln he made in speech
a statement which he had made be-
fore, and which he had had time to
repent of, as follows:
The republican party, which was
not willing that a black man should
be sold for $1,000, now claims that a
Filipino can be bought for $3.50. The
principle is exactly the same"
That statement of Mr.. Bryan's was
based on the payment of $50 100000 to
Spain for the Philippine islands by
the treaty of Paris. He further said:
This nation had no more right, as a
nation, to claim ownership of S,OO0,-
600 Filipinos than one man has right
to claim ownership of another man"
This argument of his means that SOW
ereignty, or the right to maintain
law and order, carries with it owner
ship of the persons for whom laws
are made and enforced. Hence ii fol-
lows. all people subject to government
are slaves Mr.. Bryan knows that the
treaty of Paris was not "A party meas
ure, for it was favored by two-thirds
of the senate. and he admits he ad-
vised its ratification. The policy of
this government in dealing with its

same months of 1899, $4S527S in the

Bryan's Discredited Prophecy.

In his speech at Ortonville, among
other things Gov. Roosevelt said:
Mr.. Bryan prophesied again and
again at Minneapolis, at New York,
where he addressed that noble band
of reformers, Tammany Hal; and at
indianapolis, again, again, and again,
he said: IF you vote the republican
ticket times will be harder and
harder
Again, If you vote for the gold
standard you vote for four years of
hard times
"And again: IF you vote for the
gold standard the farmer will find
that the prices of his products Will
grow steadily lover.
Again: If you vote for the gold
standard the wage-worker will find
that he stands idle more and more
again: If you vote the republican
ticket th~ business men will find
that the number of failures will in
crease and the amount of bank de-
posts will decrease
"Now. | ask you not to take my
word for it, but to think of your
own experience, and compare how
things actually were; how the con-
ditions were in your own state and
in YOUR own towns, with what Mr..
BRYAN propnesied.

JULIA MoRRIsoN's TRIAL.
Sensational Evidence Given by The Dsfen-

Sensational Evidence Given by The Dsfen-
Chattanooga, Tenn. The case Of Ju-
lia Morrison, the actress charged with
the murder Of Frank Leydan on the
opera house stage in this city Septem-
Der %. 1899, was resumed Friday
morning. Several witnesses gave dam
aging evidence against Miss Morrison
after whicn the state rested Its case for
the present.
At the afternoon session Of the court
the defense began the examination Of
witnesses and MISS Morrison, the pris-
oner, was the first introduced. Miss
Morrison's testimony was exceedingly
sensational, and she frequently request
ed the court to permit her to put some
of Leyden's language addressed to her
in writing rather than REUTER- the
words. She said Leydon insulted her
frequently. On cross examination she
stated that she had borne Leyden's in
suits until she had learned that she was
to be supplantad IN Atlanta by another
woman and that then she had become
desperate.
At this point the judge adjourned
the court until Saturday, when Miss
Morrison will be subjected to rigid
cross examination.
