With due respect TO Mr.. Hanna that was

Schurz Il not, and the attitude Of both men

that this republic was headed for smash,

Why the Market Was Weak.

From Henry Gews' Circular. September %.
Somewhat contrary to the expectations of
many the market has displayed more or
less weakness. and the large operators show
no disposition at the moment to lend their
support to a bull movement. The sound
conditions of general trade, industry and
finance are freely admitted; but for the time
being the many favorable conditions which
undoubtedly exist are overshadowed by the
approach of the elections and purely specu-
lative influences. While very few judges
of public opinion doubt that the silver
forces will meet with another and final
rout still there is much likelihood that the
election will develop some unpleasant sur
prises Now that the element of fear Is less
pronounced than four years ago. 1t Is prob
able that many who voted for sound money
in 1896 will return to their accustomed party
and thus apparently lessen the sound money
vote. While this would not indicate any
national change of sentiment in regard to
that particular question: believe the cause
Of sound money today has more adherents
than ever-still such results would be ac-
cepted unfayorably In many quarters, and
especially abroad. where faith in our ma
tional integrity is apt to be judged more by
our actions than by our intentions, no mat
ter how honest. the latter may be. More
over, the market would not take kindly to
losses on the sound money side, ssuch as
may happen in several states; and In case
the next Congress should have an increased
number of '16 to 1" members. as is not i'm
possible, that would be still further cause
for dissatisfaction among certain holders
of stocks.

MIR. Wellington in Michigan

Senator Wellington spoke for an hour

declared that President Mckinley had SOL

ence after stable government had been es-
tablished. and that he could not support a

Aguinaldo's Latest.

Aguinaldo declines all overtures for peace
And. OF course. in Mr.. Bryan's interests.
He probably feels that were he to come into
camp now he would injure Mr.. Bryan $
prospects for the presidency. as well as his
own to be the dictator of the Philippine
archipelago He understands that the
Bryanite campaign is in large part based
upon the proposition that the Tagalogs
now in the bush will never submit to Amer
iCan authority He must support that-at
least until after November. So that. while
The campaign lamp holds out to burn, the
West Tagalog will neer return. Later,
he'll see about it. If Mr.. Bryan is elected,
AguiualdG will submit terms of his own.
II the administrat ton is indorsed, he will
probably smooth his rufTled front, and hold
one hand behind him. with the palm opened
suggestively. But, just now, all is for
Bryan.
The most interesting feature of this latest
announcement is the price which Aguinaldo
puts upon Mr.. Bryan's countrymen in arms
in the Philippines Thinking to seduce them
from their allegiance 10 their country. whose
uniform they are wearing and whose
ders they are obeying he offers forty dol
lars a head for all who will surrender to
his forces. Is Mr. Bryan proud of that
proposition? 1t grows out of his champion
ship of the Tagal chiefs in fact authorized
by it. The Bryanite contention is that the
United States il criminal aggressor in
the Philippines; and it's soldiers therefore
are but the tools of tyranny. Aguinaldo
has accepted this view, and thinks money
offer ought TO thin the ranks of such base
Instruments
1t is but fair to point out that the figure
may seem high to Aguinaldo, and be in
tended by him compliment. Having
read Mr.. Bryans derisive reference to the
purchase of. the Filipinos by the United
States at two dollars head. he may have
considered that a valuation of Americans
at forty dollars a head was most liberal.
But how will Ii strike the citizens of this
country? How will they relish the reflec-
ton that such offer has come from
adventurer in arms against the country,
and indirectly the result of the teach
ingS of a man who if elected President will
be commander-in-chief of the army and
navy of the United States2 When before
was such valuation put upon the Ameri-
can soldier? The fact that Aguinaldo HIM

not soften the offense, for he is the man to
whom Mr.. Bryan would be willing to turn

Martinez CamnOa.

The death Of Martinez Campos- renoves
an interesting and in some respects an ad-
mirable figure from the Spanish political
arena. Campos might have attained to
even greater eminence than he achieved
had he not served a government which
could not see its own best interests clearly
Under progressive government he might
readily have made permanent peace in
Cuba He ended the ten-years' war by con-
cilating the insurgents. He offered them
an enlarged political liberty. He promised
the institution of real reforms. When he
left for Cuba after the surrender OF the
rebels he carried with him to Spain the
germ of a spirit of fidelity to the mother
country which under proper nurture might
easily have developed into a dominant, un-
dying sentiment But he could not carry
out his promises He was repudiated by
his government and the reforms that he
had outlined as the basis of the peace were
never instituted. The result was the revolt
of 1895, the Intervention of the United
States. the destruction Of Spain's colonial
system and her reduction to a third or
fourth rate power. 1t was but natural that
Campos should have failed to suppress the
last revolt. He had lost the confidence of
the people as a eonciliator and he lacked
the cruelty of character which enabled
Weyler to make some headway against
the insurgents. So he struggled un-
successfully for a time against heavy
odds. His equipment was poor, his enemy
was strong and determined. Having once
failed a reformer he could not again
essay that role and he returned to Spain.
Had Spain's policies been dominated more
fully by Campos and men Of his kind far
different situation would exist today in
various quarters of the globe.
