DEFENSE OF MIR. GAGE.
What Was Wrong Under Democrat
lie Administration Does Not Seem
to BE Wrong Now.

That may be very fine defense of
the practice of depositing many mill
lions of public money in banks which
Mr.. Gage has sent TO congress in re-
Spouse to certain resolutions of in
quiry. But the question remains
whether Mr.. Gage has completely re-
futed a certain speech made by Will
liam Mckinley on a certain occasion.
That speech was made when Cleve-
land was president the first time, and
that was some years ago. But princi-
pies do not change with the times,
though some people change their
principles with the times. At that
time Mr.. Mckinley declared that it was
all wrong to deposit over $4,000, GOO
of the public money in national banks.
And he grew red in the face with right
eous Indignation as he thought of the
odious favoritism to pet banks which
such a disposition of the public money
implied.
If it was wrong then to deposit some
SCI .O00,o 900 of the public money in banks
it is certainly wrong now to do the
same thing with over $1,000, GOO of the
public money. Mr.. Mckinley was then
very impressive in his declaration that
II there was any more money IN the
public treasury than was required to
meet current expenditures it should
not be handed over to banks to be
loaned for their private profit, but
should be applied to the purchase or re
demption of United States bonds in
order to save interest to the dear peo-
pie.
Well, Mr.. Gage tells us there is a
surplus now, and we all know that
there are bonds of the United States
that can be bought in the market. Then
| why does not Mr.. Mckinley order Mr..
Gage to go into the market and buy
them and save interest to the dear peo-
pie instead of turning over Ss7,0OO,OOO
of money to pet banks for them to
lend out for their own private profit?
Was Mr.. Mckinley a demagogue 10
years ago or is he wickedly coddling
| some pet banks now? Let us hear
Chicago Chronicle.

Bryan on the Philippines.

ST have for one year been discussing
imperialism, and I have tried to dis
tinguish between such an extension
of the nations limits as would not
change the character of the govern
ment and an expansion which converts
a homogeneous republic into hetero-
geneous empire. When the annexation
of any given territory is under con-
sideration the question is whether the
people, want to come in, and, second,
whether the people are capable of shar-
ing in the government and destiny OF
this nation. I believe that all people
are capable Of governing themselves,
and that the Filipinos should be al
lowed to govern themselves, but ]
don't think that they are sufficiently
advanced to share with US the gov
eminent of the nation. If the Philip
pine islands are annexed the people
there must either become citizens OF
subjects. 1 am not willing to admit
them as citizens, and do not believe
that a republic can have subjects;
therefore / want this nation to give
them independence and then protect
them from outside interference. Each
proposed annexation must be consid.
cred on its own merits, but in consider
ing these merits the condition Of the
people should have more weight than
geographical position or commercial
advantage."@W. J. Bryan.

HAZARD Is FOR ROGERS,

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
OLYMPIA, May 2-George Hazard

terview in this city that is puzzling the
state officials considerably. Some OF the

Mayor Fawcett of Tacoma, is a Candi-
date Fawcett don't stand any more show
of defeating Rogers for the nomination
than Dewey does OF defeating Bryan at
Kansas city, or Farmer Todd OF defeat
ing Thurston Daniels for the nomination
for lieutenant governor. I have known
Fawcett for eighteen years. He Is an hon
orable man, but the Demot racy OF Tacoma
for the past four years has been on the
defensive on account of his domestic af-
fairs. 1t is absurd, and as Frank p, Blair
said IL Is unconstitutional revolutionary
and void. The fusion forces made the
present administration and It will be In
dorsed In the next consolidated conven-
ton of fusion forces. Therefore after we
have Endorsed Rogers governor Bridg-
es land commissioner. Cheetham az au-
ditor, Browne as superintendent and Jen-
kns as secretary of state can we with
consistency set them aside? Not for a

did not tell the men who came with me

Berry's contest was to be voted on 1
heard II discussed that he was to retain
his seat even If voted out. heard moth
ing said about plan to kill anybody"
Culton said w. r. Johnson wanted his
(Cultons) pistol.
Henry Youtsey told me that Goebel
would be killed. / told him that IL must
not be done. I told Gov. Bradley what
Youtsey said, and Bradley said: MY
God, this must not be done Youtsey
afterward said there was nothing in it."
Witness said that on the day after the
assassination he was with Jim Howard

Henry Youtsey. after the assassina-
ton. asked the witness where he was on
the day of the murder.
II told him that / was up in the lobby
of the house. Youtsey asked me how It
would do for him to say that ne was
there with me. I told Youtsey that I
was afraid he was going to get into trou-
BILE. Also that Grant Roberts wanted to
see him. Roberts had missed his rifle
and told me he believed Youtsey had It
I told him he had better see Roberts
The witness told of another convcrsa-
ton with Youtsey. who came with Bur-
ton, of Breckinridge county
"Youtsey said he had the greatest
scheme yet; that Goebel could be shot
from the secretary of states office and
nobody would ever know who did It,

sided and the question OF providing

was discussed. p. p. Barton pulled out
a handful of cartridges and said: "A few
