BENNINGTON BACK
Original Middle of the Road
POpuIist Returns.
Ex-State Chairman Will Sup
port Bryan and Breidenthal.
ONLY LIGHT AHEAD
Bryan and Mckinley Are Both
Pledged.
One For Trusts and the Other
Against Them.
ONLY LIGHT AHEAD

W. II. Bennington, chairman of the
1ffdd1e-of -the-road Populists Of Kansas
in the campaign two years ago, has is
sued a letter in which he comes out
strong for Bryan and Bretdenthal. He
has forsaxen the Midd1e-o -the-road
nominees and lifts up his voice to say:
Il believe there never was a time in
which the voters past political afiilia-
lions should have so little to do with the
marking of his ballot as in the present
campaign. I expect to step into the
booth on November next as an indie
pendent American citizen. on whom the
ties of no political party bind, in even
the slightest degree. and without po-
litieal consideration Of any kind, vote
for Bryan and Breidenthal. I feel just
lied in taking this course as an original
real Populist- We are without a party
and we could not support a better So
cialist than Breidentha1.
Bryan is pledged in opposition to the
menactng agencies Of Trusts and I'M
perialism and, if elected president, we
have the right TO expect, as we have
the promise, that the war in the Philip
pines shah cease and the Filipinos be
given their liberty and Independence,
and with it will go the excuse for a
larger standing army.
while the Boer war is not directly an
issue in this campaign it is nevertheless
a serious question with US, and II all
other considerations made it my duty
to vote the Republican ticket this fall,
the inhuman, unpatriotic, tyvo-faced at
tit1dS of McKinley's administration to-
ward the two infant Republics in South
Africa would force me, as I think it
should impel every ture American, to
vote against the Mckinley dynasty.
while the pledges Of Bryan are clear
cut and well defined, he has no advant-
ages in this respect over Mckinley; as
certainly as Bryan is opposed to Trusts
and Imperialism, Mckinley is for them,
and in my opinion, the solution CT the
trust question is pregnant WI more
trouble for Bryan than the Wa way
out of the trust question is onward,
not backward. 1t is settled that we
cannot legislate them out of existence,
we must, therefore. legislate them into
existence; that is, we should take them
must make all the people stockholders
in them, instead Of the Rockefellers,
Carnegies and a few Others"
He closed his letter by accusing the
Republican party with "plundering the
people for the benefit Of the trusts and
nonopolies: for giving special privi-
leges, subsidies and grants to capital,
lions to labor; of Offering liberty and
independence to the islands of the sea
with the cunning hand OF deceit, while
it is taking their liberties with the right
hand of treachery, murder and the raw
ages of war; of turning its back upon
the sacred principles Of liberty and free
dom upon which 1t was founded and
espousing the cause Of monarchy, mon
opoly, militarism, greed and cupidity.
He appeals to all Middle-Of- the-road
Populists to rally to the support of
Bryan and Breidentha1.

Report Will Not Be Made For Year
or Two

New York, Oct. Final tests were
made at Sandy Hook, N J., to prove the
relative merits of rapid fire guns
mounted respectively on the old fash
toned coast defense armament and the
disappearing carriages. These tests were
witnessed by the board, comprising Gen.
Miles, Gen. Burlington. the chief of ord
nance officer; Gen Rogers, colonel of
the Fifth artillery; Gen Wilson, chief
engineer. and Mr.. Henderson, the civil
ian officers of the board.
The tests were the outcome of a dis

this carriage cannot fire with sufficient
rapidity.

NEEDS MORE MONEY.
Galveston Still Requires Assistance
From Outside.


Galveston, Tex Oct. 2.-John Sealy,
chairman Of the finance committee,
subcommittee Of Galveston central re-
lief committee and custodian of the
Galveston relief fund, has given the fol-
lowing to the Associated Press:
"Au subscriptions that have been
turned over to me up to and including
October 1, 1900, from all sources, amount
to $751;, 043.63 This amount includes all

ditiOnaI funds as he may receive. We
are now arranging in proper shape q full

amounts expended, which will be duly
Apropos Of Mr.. seaIy's report the
News says editorially:
1.-The pressing need Of Galveston is
money with which to shelter more than
5000 persons now homeless and to make
habitable the homes OF many oehers
Some correspondents have sent out
statements to the effect that millions OF
dollars have been contributed for the
relief of GalvestOn-one published state
ment fixed the amount at $4,000, 600
These statements have led the public
astray and have had q tendency to
check the impulse to give, because 1t
seemed that the requirements had been
met. But the real truth is that Calves
ton has not up to date been able to bury
the dead, remove the debris, accomplish
the work of sanitation and to pay the
expenses for food and clothing which the
relief committee had to buy before sup
plies Of food and clothing began to ar
rive from the outside world And in
this connection, with q property loss of
$40, 900 600 Galveston is called upon to
face a problem of rehabilitation and to
provide for the housing of more than
than 5000 persons, now homeless.
Mature has been kind since the storm;
there has been norainfall of consequence;
the weather has been pleasant and the
winds have been tempered. But these
conditions can not last and much greater
suffering than has been endured up to
this time must inevitably ensue if pro-
visions are not made and made quickly,
