EPWORTH LEAGUE OUTING.
An Afternoon and Evening Enjoyed

For the purpose of getting Epworth
League members to take more interest in
league affairs and work more enthusiastic
cally an outing and union service was ar
ranged by the central committee. Yes
terday several hundred members took we'll
filled lunch baskets and went to Broad Rip
pie, where the afternoon was spent in Wis
iting and eating the good things which had
been provided by the women
At 7 o'clock last night services in the
park tabernacle. opened with a song service
which was attended by about 300 Epworth
Leaguers. The song service was followed
by an address by the Rev. Charles w. Tins
ley, of Fletcher-place NJ. f. Church, who
urged more common sense work and less of
the technical among members of the league.
His address was followed by a temperance
recitation by Miss Reese. Edward Clark,
vice president of the Indianapolis Christian
Temperance Union, talked for a short time
on the work which should be done by the
league, and the meeting closed with an
other song service.
The place of meeting, IL the matter of ex-
ample is worth anything, was well chosen,
for on one side of the tabernacle, a short
distance away, men and women were anus
ing themselves by drinking beer and liquors
at a beer garden, while on the other side
young people in large numbers were dane
ing in a public dance hall, both of which
practices are condemned by the league.

HAVANA, Aug. 22.-All the persons ac-
cused Of completely in the Havana customs
house frauds were acquitted to-day. The
president Of the court. consisting Of three
judges. has inserted in the decision a clause
to the effect that he thinks four OF the
accused are guilty, and these may be taken
before the Supreme Court. The decision
holds with regard to inaccurate appraise-
ments that IL is impossible TO prove that
goods have been wrongly appraised where
the goods cannot be brought into court.
II also asserts that there is no evidence
that the accused intended to defraud.
Senior Enrique varona. secretary of edit
cation. was recently asked by the Repub-
lican party in Puerto Principe to be a cam
didate during the forthcoming elections OF
delegates to the constitutional convention.
In his reply, published to-day, he says:
Intervention came because IL had TO come
sooner or later. Cuba would nave been
desolated by the Cubans and Spaniards IL it
had not been for the Americans, who, by
their Intervention, nave earned the eternal
gratitude OF the Cubans and the right 10 be
considered in determining the foreign rela-
lions OF Cuba. II is useless for Cubans to
refuse to admit this. Washington will rave
a voice in the foreign relations OF Cuba.
Those who say otherwise are prisoners OF
Cuban conscience
There are many who think as i do in this
matter. but who do not have the courage OF
their opinion. but, even IL the Republican
party accepted my views. IL could do MOTH
ing I'm an assembly consisting Of persons
resolved to see facts through the prism OF
passion and their OWL desires
For these reasons Senior Varona declines
to go 10 the convention.

BRYAN AND THE TREATY.

|. The out and out Anti-imperialists. as
represented by the Anti-imperialist League,
cannot be taken into consideration when
the important phases OF the policy in re-
gard to the Philippines are considered. They
fought the treaty with Spain during the
months 1t was pending. In the Senate those
hostile to the treaty. like Senator Daniel.
declared that with the ratification of the
treaty the entire policy of the country was
changed; that We acquired sovereignty
over the islands. which went to the very
root of the matter, and that all that fol-
lowed was clerical.
Mr.. Bryan, 1t should be emphasized, is
not of this class. He was as eagerly In
favor of ratification of the treaty as any
Republican in the Senate. He wrote letters
TO Democratic senator's. and he offended
some senators because he went TO Wash
ington to urge his friends in the Senate TO
vote for 1t. He could have defeated 1t,
since the change of the vote of Senator
Allen would have brought about that result.
For this reason. in all discussion of the
Philippine question Mr.. Bryan must share
the responsibility of occupation with the
President.
When the treaty was ratified, a war with
Aguinaldo was in progress. begun by him.
and a plot was discovered to massacre all
the Europeans in Manila, Outside of the
Anti-imperialist organization there was not
at that time any protest against suppress
sion of the Instruction of Aguinaldo. The
last Congress. the Senate of which was
not Republican, and the Democrats in the
House voted for it, provided the Presi-
dent be authorized to maintain the regular
army at a strength of not more than 65,-
600 enlisted men, and to raise a force OF
not more than $1,000 volunteers" with the
condition that the increase of the regular
during the necessity therefor. and not later
than July l, 1901"
There can be but one Interpretation of
this action Of Congress March 2, 1899. and
that is that with practical unanimity Demo-
Gratis, as well as Republicans, voted an in
crease of the army to suppress the insur-
rection of Aguinaldo. Indeed, the general
sentiment of the country was that the
government must suppress the insurrection
and compel a recognition of the sovereignty
OF the United States. So general and deep
was this sentiment that two or three regi-
ments could easily have been raised in this
State to go to the Philippines to uphold the
flag so long as it should be opposed. The
change of sentiment on the part OF many
Democrats respecting the war came when
1t was regarded as good politics" to take
the side of Aguinaldo. TIL point to be
kept in view is that Mr.. Bryan is as much
responsible as any other man for the rati-
fcation of the treaty which gave the United
States the sovereignty of the Philippines.
Neither did he oppose the raising of an
army to suppress the Aguinaldo insurrec-

LANGUAGE.

The Sacramento Bee is one of the ablest
and most positive supporters of Bryan on
the Pacific coast. 1t was before Mr..
Bryan's notification speech. in which he
ignored silver, that the Bee vigorously con-
demned the scheme of Eastern papers to
ignore silver and make anti-imperialism
the issue, as the following extract shows:
1t is usually not good politics for one
newspaper championing a cause to publicly
combat the dictum of another battling to
the same end. But when a journal at

is, after all, the best weapon and the most
potent argument. Free silver Is an issue
in this campaign. 1t was made so in the
strongest language in every convention
which nominated William j. Bryan. The
man from Nebraska would never have ac-
cepted the nomination at Kansas City had

quentiy so averred most emphat-
ically in private conversation. The very
hub of the Bryan political wheel fashioned
at Chicago in 1896 was free silver. Not
a delegate in the committee on resolutions
in Kansas City in 1900 was opposed 10
recommending that wheel again for cam
paign use. Some argued that the indorsing
plank was sufficient; others, that a stall
wart reimbursement of free silver should
be added as a separate plank. The latter
policy carried the day in the committee
on resolutions. The report was submitted
to the convention as a whole, and not one
voice was raised in protest against the
free silver plank. Free silver was made
an issue of this campaign by the unani-
nous vote of that national gathering.
II free silver were not an issue, William
Jennings Bryan would not be a candidate.
II is an axiom that who is false in one
Will be false in all. IL Bryan had been
treacherous on the silver question, who
could have trusted him in anything else?
And the battle against the trusts, coupled
with a quasi-indorsement of the gold ring
the most iniquitous and infamous OF
them all-would be about as sensible as TO
denounce Benedict Arnold in one breath
and give the kiss of peace 10 Judas Iscariot
in another.

FIRE RUNS.


A gasoline explosion in the home of
Charles Mueller, at 2l09 South East street,
at 2 d. m. yesterday caused a run for the
fire department, a property loss of IS and
slight burns to Mrs. Mueller. The fire was
put out before the arrival of the depart
ment.
At $50 p. m. two alarms were turned in
from box No. 50 for a fire in the Sherman
House, opposite the Union Station. The fire
started in the pantry n was thought TO
have caught from the range. The flames
shot upward through the elevate shaft and
filled the house with smoke. A hole was
burned through the second floor over the
pantry. but there was little further dam
age. The greater loss was from smoke
and water, the damage being estimated at
500. II was thought for a few moments the
fire was going TO spread and lines were
taken up into the Fahnley & McCrea mill
merry house., but were not needed.

Wisconsin Populists, in convention at
Madison, in their platform commend the
national Democratic convention for its in
dorsement of William J.. Bryan" This
amply supports the Republican contention
that Bryan is a Populist. and not a Demo-

cup must make the draught OF exceeding
bitterness to the heretofore drinkers of

If Indiana Republicans will wake up and
go to work as they did four years ago, a
Republican victory is assured. Four years
ago. an election in Indiana anytime before
Sept 1 would have shown a Bryan ma

won the fight. The Republican outlook to-
day in Indiana Is very much better thar 1t
was this time in the campaign four years
ago. All depends upon faithful. effective
work from this time on.

ROBERT HARDING APPOINTED.

Harding was the former assistant superin-

was appointed 10 the assistant superin-
tendency and Mrs. Ruth a. Campbell. the
assistant matron. was appointed matron.
This advancement along the line is pro-
motion for efficient service rather than APP
pointment through favoritism. The real
appointment now left open is for a man
who is willing TO begin at the bottom and
climb UP. The terms of the new officers
will expire Jan. 1. in order that the new
member OF the board will have a voice in
the appointments for next year.

Louis Globe-Democrat, w. B. s., declares
with positiveness that Mr.. Bryan's closest
confidants assert that. should he be elected
President Ex-Governor Altgeld will be
nominated to the first vacancy on the Su-
preme Bench. There are thousands of
men who may now be in some doubt as to
whom they shall support for President who
would at once decide to vote for Mr.. Nc
Kinley should they seriously suspect that
Altgeld might be appointed to the Supreme
Bench. He stands before the country as
the champion of Anarchists. some of whom
he pardoned. For years he denounced Presi-
dent Cleveland because he sent troops to
Chicago in July, 1894, to protect United
States property and prevent interference
with the running of mail trains during the
Debs strike. Perhaps Mr.. Bryan will deny
that he has any such intention, and say,
offhand. that he will not appoint such a
man TO such a position.

The legislative ticket nominated yester-
day by the Republican convention is made
up of men who stand well in the COM
munity n who can be relied on to rep
resent the interests of Marion county in the
General Assembly. The platform demands
that the Republican reforms of the last
Legislature shall be supplemented by a
primary election law. The address OF
Chairman Bookwalter deals clearly with
issues of practical "~paramountcy'' In an
able and vigorous manner.
