RIDDLES THE H~YPoCRrTEs.
Weakness Of Republican Cause ZEE.
posed by Bryan i'm His Ac-
ceptance speech.

The magnificent appeal for the per-
~petuaIion OF the tIme-nonored prin-
ciples of the republic with which Mr..
Bryan acknowledges the cfse-ai noti-
fcation OF his nomination is now be-
fore the American people. 1t possesses
the ring of a second declaration of in
dependence. There is no sophisticated
play on words, no beating around the
bush. no cowardly attempt to escape
the issue which most vitality affects
the governmental structure. The Ian
guage is simple, straightforward and
strong, absolutely void of equivoca-
ton. It is the creation of a states
man who has a policy to propose of
which he feels absolutely sure. There
is no timidity-no shrinking.
No surer proof of the weakness Of
the republican cause can be adduced
than the refusal of republican lead
ers to discuss imperialism in detail.
Instead, their mere eampaigners re-
sort to ridicule and meaningless har-
angue concerning honor and glory,
while those pretending to statesman
ship have to vague, oracular
assertions hat leave their exact posi-
tions in doubt. The men hOsen to
make and execute our laws are merely
public servants. The people, then,
have a right to know exactly what
they propose 70 do, and when and how
they propose to do it. We have no
prophets whose word is law. In strik-
ing contrast to the republican plan
Mr.. Bryan meets every point in a man
~ n and discusses it with thor
oughness. Thereisno wild declaration,
nothing dangerously radical. nothing
bitter or purely partisan. His discus
sion throughout is calm, temperate
and patriotic.
The most bigoted party antagonist
cannot place his finger upon a senti-
ment that is not distinctly American,
A high moral sentiment pervades the
whole. Liberty is the keynote.
Commencing expansion he attacks
Imperialism. demanding that the con-
stitution accompany the flag into every
territory under American dominion;
disPuting the appalling assertion that
men with souls may be purchased

possessions" he riddles the ~hypocrit-
zeal plea of duty. holding our supreme
duty to be the discharge OF moral obi

ords destroyed, 10Y could they con

George Flint telegraphed at once to
Tolliver Enraughty, of Enraughty &
Carter, esquires, of Richmond. who soon
appeared in the city with a parcel
the two packages containing the
hands over which SO many thousand
bets had been made. Solemnly, as IL
at the reading of a Will, the packages
we're opened. Each was marked on
the outer covering with the name of
its holder.
This was my grandfather's," said
Oxheart, with a culver in his voice.
My grandfather held this" said
Flint, softly, caressingly.
The lawyer went on with his work
in silence. II was almost like unroll-
ing a mumm to take off one by one
the many envelopes in which these
hands were wrapped At last Mr.. En-
naughty stopped and read from the
envelope unopened in his hand:
Il do not know which of these
hands belonged to which of those
fools. so L have marked this one for
Flint. and the other for Oxheart. Dor

date. that of the second meeting Of
the original players. The two grand
sons looked at each other silently,
then they both said: Go on"
In the other package Mr.. Enraughty
found a similar note.
Gentlemen" he said, shall I open
the last e~nvelopes?
Mo- said both Flint III. and Ok
heart III. together. The lawyer held
the two envelopes in the fire until
they were destroyed

our Annual Water SUNNY

The average annual total OF water
which falls as rain or snow in the
United States is 1,407 cubic miles. This
amount OF rain would more than twice
fill Lake Ontario. To raise this water
to the clouds from which 1t fell would
require the work of 500, 900 eco horses

Mr.. Bryan made clear the distinc-
ton between Imperialism and expan-
sion, between forcible annexation and
the acquisition of territory to be di-
vided into states. He showed by the
experience of colonizing nations of
Europe hat tropical colonies were
not suitable for the habitation of the
white race. The status of the Filipino
under the republican policy was next
discussed. Was he to be a citizen or
a subject? Clearly not a citizen. "A
subject is possible only in government
resting upon force" A republic, de-
irving its powers from the consent of
the governed. can have no subjects.
The evasive and insincere promise of
the republican platform to the Fill
pinos of "the largest measure of self
government consistent with their well
fare and our duties" was exposed.
Sixteen months had elapsed after the
treaty was ratified. but instead of any
seIf-government the presidents will
was the only law. Mr.. Bryan was
forcible in his demonstration of the
abstract right of people to govern
themselves, and of the injustice of a
stronger nation depriving the weaker
of a natural right. Jefferson and
Franklin were quoted to the effect
that a plundering nation making an
unjust war is as much a robber as the
individual Observation-Disclosures
Times.

There is no doubt that Imperialism
is the one overshadowing issue. 1t is
the first time the people of this coun-
try have had such an issue before them.
At no other time have the people been
called upon to decide whether the I'M
deriving principles of the republic
shall be adhered to by its government.
Being a new issue and involving the life
principle of our most cherished insti-
tutions, it is my belief that many voters
will rise above party lines and vote on
that issue alone. I am confident that
the democratic party viii get most of
those votes. and feel well satisfied with
the outlook for success in November"

Bryan's speech acceptir

Mr.. Bryan's speech accepting
the nomination of the Kansas City
convention will doubtless be a bitter
disappointment to the republican
managers. It is undoubtedly the
most sober, thoughtful utteranee he
has ever made. It is entirely devoid
of hyperbole or specious pleading.
But aside from its merits as an intel
lectual effort the point most potent
is the fact that he has devoted it
wholly to what the more thoughtful
democrats tried to make the one is
sue. Imperialism, and spoken in clear
and unmistakabIe terms. Whether
the republicans choose or not, they
must meet this question. They can
no longer say he stands on a negative
platform. He announces just what he
as a remedy for the ills he
complains OF. He produces an affirma-
tive policy as against sheirs.-Milwau-

Doodle Legislature.

The Baltimore World charged the leg
islature which came to an end last Tues
day morning with being one of the most
corrupt that ever met in Annapolis.
The following paragraph from Tuesdays
World will serve as sample of what it
has repeated every day
Bribery and corruption among the
members have prevailed to an extent
almost unheard of even at Annapolis in
the old days of the Rasin machine.
Under that regime few of the members
were bribed by money, and the boss was
generally able to force his men into line
without any other consideration except
the promise of political power in the
future. The session just closed witnessed
very little of the above style of corrup-
ton, for as soon as the members realized
that they were being sold out by the
bosses they demanded a share of the
Doodle, and refused to go further until
they were promised what they asked"

The Empire.

Porto Rico, which had almost no
grievance against Spain, we have wrested
from that country and she is starving.
Hawaii desired to come under our pro-
lection, and we have taken her but to
treat her with an indifference that is
disgraceful.
To the Philippines we have gone first
with assurances of independence. then
with talk of benevolent assimilation, I"
and now with blunt demands of blind
surrender, which we are wholly unable
to compel. People may well wonder, if
this is the beginning of the empire what
the end of it will be This, however,
will hardly admit of question. The
Mckinley empire will end iu the election

Special Instructions for Treating Trees
Infested With San Jose Scale.

Special instructions for Treating Trees
Infested With San Jose Scale.
/. The Maryland Agricultural Col
lege issues the following circular
by State Entomologist Willis G.
johnson:
/. If the tree is badly infested,
and too far gone to save by a sys-
tenn of treatment, grub it up by the
roots, trim and pile wood and brush
where it stood, do not burn wood
brush, at least until after mid
summer. Nature has some natural
enemies at work upon the scale and
these little friends must not be
burned. If brush is piled, the
scales ALL die in a few days, the
little friends escape and concentrate
their attacks upon other trees
where the scale exists, and where
it has been overlooked. Scale can.
not possibly live upon a twig or
piece Of wood cut before May. Is.
1t spreads only when the young
appear, which is between June 10
and the late fall. i have seen
young crawling ON trees, during
open warm weather as late as Dec.
10; but such late individuals could
not possibly survive the winter, as
it would be practically impossible
for them to cover themselves with
the scale-like covering.
2. If the tree is only moderately
infested prnne it as much as pos
sihle, saving every branch and
twig, piling them in some place in
or near the orchard.
3. Then spray peach and plum
with a 20 per cent mixture of kero-
sene and water and pear and apple
with % per cent mixture. Spray
thoroughly using combination
kerosene and water sprayer if
possible.
4. If You have an ordinary
sprayer you can use whale oil soap
in water at the rate of 2 pounds to
a gallon, before the buds open.
Use good grade of caustic potash
whale oil soap, and apply when
warm.
5. Crude petroleum can be used
also, and should be applied before
the buds open.
At all times keep close watch
on your orchard and if a tree looks
suspicious send me a twig by mail
without delay.
