BITTER personalities should be
avoided in the Senatorial contest.
No matter which side we are on we
should do nothing to besmirch the
character of any good man who per-
chance may be elected 10 that exalted
position. In 4 contest between DEM
ocrat> and gentlemen we should not
allow our zeal for our individual
tavorite to cause us to lose sight of
the fact that they are such.

BRYAN is wonderful man. He is
the greatest campaigner this country
ever saw. His versatility is illimit-
able. and his shifting OF the para
mount issue from one thing to another,
to suit his crowd, is one of the strong
est evidences of his genius. In re-
partee he is unexcelled. Interrupted
by question, he never fails to run
the questioner to cover. He may not
come within ten miles Of answering
the question. but his rejoinder is so
quick and smart that it passes for an
answer. and he comes off victor in
every case. His home is on the hust-
ings. and say or think what one will

special art. WEIGH is that of stirring

KRUGER PREFERS GERMAN RULE
TO i.HGLISII.-A special TO the New
Gur% Herald from Wnshiugto ton SAWS:
repurt is current in diplomatic
circles in this city that Dr.. Leyds had
Tor his sole purpose in going to Ger
many the establishment Of &C erm.n
protectoratc over the Bocr republic.
The German emperor, it is believed.
has been approact cd and asked to take
charge OF the Boer republic. The
BOcrs. IL is said, seem to realize that
their defeat at the hands OF England
Will be the ultimate result OF the pres
ent war.
Rather than submi. to subjection by
the British they will voluntarily come
under the sovereignty Of the German
empire, under certain stipulations,
which Will guarantee their local self.
government. 1t is stated here that
President Kruger, realizing that the
llberti les OF mis- people are in Gangcr
ana that the continuance OF the repub-
llc Is threatened, prefers q German EN-.
keror rather than an English queen.
The overture tn the German emperor
was made in the first place, it is re.
ported, with view to creating u run
ture between England and Germany.
This was avoided, and it is understood
that Emperor William declined to con
slider the proposal at least for the
present.
According to the report DR.. Leyds,
before leaving Berlin prepared Sc.
cret treaty with Germany in which that
country was guaranteed certain rights
Although the text OF the treaty is not
known, 1t is said to give the German
emperor the greatest possible privi.
legcs, amounting to almost ownership
