There has been some criticism of Nc
Kinley's letter of acceptance because
1t was long. But as the President had
to give an account of his stewardship
since he is up for second term, the
obligation on him TO make clean
breast of 1t was strong and he has done
so many big things that 1t was impos-
sible to put 1t in a nutshell.
Mr.. Bryan has been holding back his
letter until after the appearance of the
Presidents, because he wanted to "re-
ply" But it will be very hard to an
swer McKinley's modest narrative of
the great things accomplished by this
government since he has been its
president.
Mr.. Bryan never having done any
thing but talk during or before the
four years last past, cannot reSer to
Lis record of deeds, but will have to
confine himself in describing the
great things he has said. And perhaps
it will take him longer even to tell
that than it did Mckinley to give
synopsis of his doings.--Nebraska State
Journal.

Senator Telier's Slander of Governor

Senator Teller certainly went bayond
the bounds of decency and brought dis
credit upon the state of Colorado, of
which he has been an honored and hon
orable representative in the Senate of
the United States for n quarter of n
century, when. in his speech to the
Teller Silver Republicans State Con-
vention on Monday, he described Gov
ernor Roosevelt, the Republican nomi-
nee for vice president, as

Juan hill, the man who has taken the
credit for what the negro regiment

record as soldier because his bravery

needlessly malign the military record

example in going to the front at the
call of his country, and risking his life
at the head of his regiment in the hot

true Americans prouder of their citi-
zenship and more certain of the future
as Theodore Roosevelt and his valiant
companions in arms, the gallant Rough
Riders.
Senator Teller has right, If he feels
so inclined. to oppose the election of
Governor Roosevelt to the office of vice
president, but he has no right to i'm

achievements of the hero of San Juan,

that he will deplore the blunder, to call
1t by no harsher name, which he COM

A Deadly Parallel.

In the first Democratic anti-imperialist
campaign, back in the Civil War:

mo more infamous slander could be

was an imperialist. Every word and

charge with falsehood. He would have

THAT "PRAyER CHAIN"

It Is Onicially DIsapproved by National W.

The unseemly 'chain of prayer"
scheme has been officially disapproved
by the officers of the National Wom-
has also been repudiated by local and
state organizations. The originators
of the plan to have the temperance
women of the several states pray for
the defeat of President Mckinley have
been rebuked, and the attempt to
make the w. C. T. U. an annex of the
Bryan political machine has utterly
failed.
This was inevitable. The appeal to
pray for the defeat of Mckinley was
and patriotic impulse as well as to
those who are simply hysterical fanat-
les. Women whose husbands, fathers,
or brothers are earnest Republicans
were asked to pray for the defeat of
the Republican party. They We're ask
ed not to pray in secret, but to make
public record of their irreverence. They
were not only to pray as individuals,
but as an organization, and to do their
utmost to make this new scheme of
electioneering successful.
The sheer effrontery of the PROPOSE
ton certainly put the w. @. T. U. in
bad light. Women who have con-
demned the electioneering methods of
the unscrupulous ward politician were
made to appear as indorsers of an
electioneering scheme which for irrev-
erence and impertinence has never been
equaled in Panel-House politics. had
the movement been encouraged by the
national officers of the w. G. t. U. the
usefulness of the organization would
have been at an end. But, happily for
the organization and for the good
sense of American women, the hyster-
ical scheme has been disapproved. 1t
has probably done some injury as the
case stands, not to the Republican
party, but to the w. C. T. U.

population given by the census of 1900
as 3,437 POP. The old city, now com
prised in the boroughs of Manhattan

while Brooklyn, with the two minor
boroughs of Richmond and Queens,
have 1,3S5,603 more. London must
