Freed from her colonial depend,

at a low rate of interest, a 5000.
100000 loan, it was largely over
subscribed by the people of Spain.
This could not have been accom-.

were dragging her down, hanging

1.-The republican policy means
that we shall have form of re-
public here and a practice of des-
potism in the orient. The repub-
licans said IN 1896 that we could
not have double standard of
money; now they have double
standard of government. They
said in 1895 we advocated a 5O-cent
dollar, yet they have an IS per
cent citizen in Porto Rico. and we
don't know what per cent of citi-
zenship the PHILIPPINE is to be. In
1896 the republicans said that
every dollar must be as good as
every other dollar, and we saw
that every citizen shall be as good
as any other citizen, and that the

them all. w. J. Bryan.

Is quite certain that under such con-

without any prompting by the World:
He would naturally take up the case or
the ice trust as a fragrant example OF
monopolistit evils. And having de-
molished this particular combination,
he would tain his heaviest gun on the
Republican convention. He would
characterize the choice OF the dele
gate-at-large, after all that had hap
pened as an almost wanton insult to
the people Of New York. He would
declare 1t to be an affront to the intel
ligence of the state. He would also
stigmatize IL as an outrage upon the
rank and file OF the party. In short,
Bryan would be at his best In dealing
with such audacity, impudence, ef-

JOSEPH KUBLER, PUBLISHER

One New York millionaire, VINO
earned his fortune by his own efforts
under rather disadvantageous circum-
stances, conducts mis- business in a
way that Is highly original in many
particulars. One of the most striking
of these is his method of dealing with
his employees. They are paid every
night, and at the close of every BUSH
ness day all the expenses of running
the business have been met and the
manager knows just how his affairs
stand, as far as that feature OF his
business Is concerned. But that is
not his object in paying salaries every
day, instead of following the usual
custom ana waiting until the end of
the week or month. He employs many
men who have lost former situations
through intemperance, although they
were all men of ability in their field.
If they severed their connection prac-
tically with the establishment at the
close of every business day it made no
difference to the employer what hap
pened to the man after he left his es-
adjustment. BY this means the mill
ionaire is able TO get the services of
good rnen at a small salary, and have
no responsibility as 20 their conduct
after they received heir pay for one
days work.

BRYAN A FALSE PROPHET.


Extract from q speech in Congress on
June s by Representative Fowler,
At New Haven, Conn. he Organ II
1896 said:
No party ever declared In its plat
form that 1t was ifffavor OF hard times
and yet the party that declares for q
gold standard In substance declares for
a continuation OF hard times.
The very hour that the result OF the
election was known, times began TO
grow better. :
At Minneapolis, Mimi, he said:
The gold standard means dearer
money; dearer money means cheaper
property: cheaper property means
harder times: harder times means
more people out Of work; more people
out OF work means more people desti-
tute; more people destitute means more
people desperate; more people cesfer-
ate means crime.
E:ery month since the national eiec-
ton money has been growing ca ilr,
lover, and cheaper: property OF every
description has been gradually but con-
stautly rising; fewer and fewer people
are out Of work; fewer people are des-
titute and crime has constantly de-
creased These statements, with the
various changes rung on them, consti-
tute all that Mr.. Bryan said In those
unnumbered speeches in 1895, and
there is hardly a shred of Tact or truth
left in any n OF them.

Yokohama, June Is, via Victoria, IL.
c., June 29.-The great fleet OF for
eign warships recently at anchor here
has vanished, speeding to the new
seat of war, whittier all eyes in the
east are now turned. 1t has become
evident not only that the Chinese gov
eminent is powerless to preserve or
der, but also that the main cause of it's
powerlessness is it's sympathy with
the a~nti-foreign %prejudices of n in
surgents, and therefore there is moth
ing left for the powers except to take
and keep the supreme control.
OF the details of the events which
have led to this nov manifest result,
it is impossible to give any connected
account. Telegraphic communication
with Picking has been cut off since
June 10.
The harbor at Taku is full Of the
foreign fleets, their number constant
ly increasing. At last accounts there
were thirteen Russian, five British,
two French, three German, four Jap
anese and two Italians. The prepon-
derance of Russia i'll the fray is eX-
citing marked comment. She is
showing what an immense advantage
Port Arthur is to her, and at the same
time is revealing the military re-
sources which for years she has been
quietly bringing to the east. Her pre-
ponderance in military strength will,
| however, soon be surpassed by Japan
should there be a final breakup of
| China or it's control by the powers be
assumed. Japan has an army OF 5Oo,-
| 900 soldiers practically upon the spot.
AS it would be well nigh impossible
for any European power or any COM
bination of European powers to trans
port to the scene an army equal to
hers, 1t is plain to see that her wishes
| will be eagerly deferred to during
the negotiations as to the final dis
: position of the great empire.

WORST FEARED IN WASHINGTON
Increased apprehension ms TO Fate
of Foreign Ministers.

Washington, June 30.-Yesterday
the officials here felt sure the minis
tiers to China were safe with admiral
Seymour's column. This morning
confidence was shaken. The only Of
fetal dispatch received over night
from Admiral Kempff was so barren
of the information so earnestly de-
manded here as TO cause severe criti-
cism at the admirals expense. His dis
patch makes no mention Of the min
isters' welfare nor Seymour's column.
Taken in connection with the omin-
Gus press dispatch from Chefoo rela-
tive to Seymour's column returning
to Tien Tsin the officials feel they
have good ground for renewed appre-
hension as to the fate of the foreign
ministers.
The conclusion drawn by naval Of
ficials from Kempff's dispatch is that
he is not in communication with Tien
Tsin. Notwithstanding the cable com
pany's notice yesterday, there is still
no news route open to that city save
by runners, who must pass through a
country beset by Boxers to reach Che
foo.
An explanation was had at the state
department today of the report from
Shanghai that the consuls there are
negotiating with the Chinese vice
roys respecting the protection of the
city. Because they are cut off from
communication with Minister Conger,
from whom they should receive in
structions, the American consuls i'll
China have been embarrassed in deal
ing with the local Chinese authorities
by reason of the necessity Of securing
instructions from Washington. at
every point. Therefore Secretary Hay
yesterday sent general instructions to
all American consuls in China who
could be reached authorizing them to
deal directly with the Chinese vice.
rows in framing measures for the pro-
lection of American lives and prop
erty. Shanghai has heretofore been
made a neutral port during times OF
war by such agreements between for
eign consuls there and Chinese Of
ficials, and il is probable that q sim
liar arrangement will be made now.
The only condition is that before,
withdrawing their naval forces from
treaty ports the foreign consuls must
feel assured that the Chinese officials
are not only willing but perfectly able
to ensure safety to foreigners in the
towns.
The Ninth infantry, which was re-
ported cleared yesterday from Manila,
should reach Taku Wednesday next.

EXPANSION is THE CHIEF ISSUE.

EXPANSION is THE CHIEF ISSUE.
The London Times, as wsll as other
foreign papers, British, German or
French, occasionally say something
sensible about American politics. The
Times says that the Boer question
will not figure In the canvass OF 1900
in this country. "The real issue, IL
declares, rs expansion, and the forth
coming election will decide whether
the country Is to remain within con-
tincntal limits or to see transmarine
expansion" The South African war,
as II views the situation In the United
States, Is not going TO be discussed
with any prominence in the campaign.
There Is sense in this forecast. The
United States has so many Issues oil
its own that IL is not compelled 10 go
abroad to get questions 10 discuss. All
that will be left or the South African
question by the time the election In
this country occurs in November Will
be the purely political aspect, and
that is a matter which will have to be
dealt with by the British voters. IL
viii be a matter of E~ngland's Internal
interests, ard the United States Will
have neither the right no the dispo-
s,tlon to interfere In 1t In the slight
est degree.
II will be well for the individuals
who are trying TO put the Beers In
American politics 10 understand that
the United States has passed beyond
the period wheu It's elections turned on
European concerns. Since the end Of
the war OF 1875 the United States
has cut loose from all e~ntangling alli-
ances with Old World prejudices or in
terests. The war OF 1776 gave Ameri-
ca political independence. That OF
1912 gave ii social independence. This
is a nation OF Is, 900, 900 OF people. II
has many concerns OF its own, which
IL asserts the right TO deal with in
It's own time and In its own way. Eng
land, Germany, Russia, France ana
the other great countries also have is-
sues of their own, with which neither
the United States nor any other
try has any right to interfere. There
Is much sympathy for the Beers In the
United States, and there is a hope that
they will eventually gain a fair share
of independence in their new aflilia-
tlons, but neither the South African
nor any other strictly Old World con-
Germ Is going 10 be made an Issue 10

will talk about the Philippines, Cuba
