1t (the republican national ma
chine) is undertaking by every means
to disturb the business of the coun-
try, to undermine confidence and to
create state of public sentiment
which might, under certain condi-
tons, lead to panic. 1t is doing this
without sufficient cause, simply to
gain party advantage and without
regard to the consequences which may
follow. 1t is apparently endeavoring
to work up panic, to unsettle
finances and to promote feeling of
distrust which may prove disastrous.
This is the republican policy in 1900
a policy which involves a wicked dis
regard of the business interests of the
country--a narrow and selfish policy
which would withhold prosperity
from the nation unless the republican
party is retained in power.-Baltimore

Defeat Pre- dicted,

ton of Independence of the same name.
predicts that the republicans will be
Overwhelmingly defeated in the com
ing campaign. The campaign, he says,
will eclipse that of 1896, and gives
promise of new era in politics. He
says that the issue, as announced. and
expressed in Mr.. Bryan's speech of ac-
ceptance, has cleft the republican party
in twain. ''The Cotton Whigs,'" he
says, who condone slavery beneath
the American flag as their fathers con-
6oned the attempt to- extend slavery
into the free territories of the west,
may pull wires and manipulate men
without backbone, but they cannot

Treasured by Genuine Americans.

Such force is there in Bryan's argu-
ments against our conquering and en-
shaving of foreign races, and with such
impid clearness are they set forth,
that the best of the republicans abiI-
ity will straightway rush to challenge
them, will count itself lucky to be al
lowed to break even an impotent
lance against them. 1t is a speech
that will be an inspiration in the cam
paign-of comfort and assistance to
the democrats, of dread and discom
future to the republicans. 1t will be
whole armory in itself of the very
finest campaign material to the demo-
Gratis; the republicans will spend the
next three months in ceaseless. but
vain, attempts to rebut its reasoning
and to lessen its effect upon the ma
tional mind. 1t is a speech which the
genuine American, who is proud of his
republicanism, of his constitution. of
his traditions and of his declaration
OF independence. will read and will
treasure with pardonable pride; for
never did statesman of the United
States deliver himself of a speech

lofty plane and making IL an ORR

MUST MEET ON IMPERIALISM.
Able to Dodge the Para
mount Issue.

The oft-demonstrated ability of Will
liam Jennings Bryan was never more
effectively exercised than in the prep
aration. of the really great speech
which he delivered in formally accept
ing the nomination for president by
the democratic party. That speech is
in itself a lofty, serious and patriotic
discussion of the greatest issue that
has confronted the American people
since 1850. The man who made that
speech is developed Bryan. if not a
new Bryan, and his opponents will be
compelled to meet him and do battle
with him on different grounds than
those of 1896. On the currency ques-
ton he dwells not at all. except TO
say that man, the handiwork of God.
comes first; money. the handiwork of
man, is of inferior Importance" which
is the nearest he comes to a possible
hint at a subordination of the silver
issue. The opponents of Mr. Bryan
will be compelled, whether they like
it or not, to meet him on the issue of
Imperialism. He presents it in such
form and with such mastery force
that they cannot evade it if they
would. In his first utterance of the
campaign Mr.. Bryan gives assurance
that the contest is not to be one-sided
by any means, and that the supporters
of Mckinley viii have no reason to
possess overconfidence when the bat
tie opens. They are dealing this year
with Mr.. Bryan at his best-Utica OBJ

MIR. Bryan's speech appears of
appalling length, but no one who reads
beyond the opening paragraphs will
put it aside before he has reached the
end. 1t is an exceedingly able speech,
clear, coherent and logical, and as
earnest as eloquent. and all the more
forcible because it is confined closely
to one subject. which he takes as the
significant leading issue that typifies
all the general issues of the campaign.

DIR. LEYDs SAYS WAR WILL GO ON.
Diplomatic Agent Declares
Neither Side Will Yield Now.


Neither Side Will Yield Now.
A dispatch from Berlin yesterday says:
DR.. Leyds today made the following state
ment:
'I know nothing about the reported mis-
sions of either Mr.. Macrum or Mr.. Webster
Davis. Nor to the best of my knowledge,
is either the bearer of a message of peace.
There are no movements under way on our
part to induce President Mckinley to inter
vene between Great Britain and the Trans
wall As I do not at present have direct
communication with Pretoria 1 do not know
what Mr.. Montagu Whites mission is, ex-
cept to establish diplomatic relations with
the United States.
''All this talk about peace is sadly pre-
mature Great Britain surely will not sue
cumb now. Neither will we. While We are
talking here it may be that decisive bat
tie is being fought there, for l presume
Lord Roberts has withdrawn the troops
around Lady smith and is massing them for
a formidable coup"
DIR. Leyds repeated his former declaration
that the Beers, when concluding peace.
would want back part at least Of the ter
rtories which England stole from the
Boers.'' He rather expects also that a
harbor south of Mozambique will go to the
Transvaal For our legitimate extension
he added, I'VE need free access to the sea-
He asserted emphatfcally that one condi-
ton of peace would be the recognition Of
the absolute independence of the Trans
vaal.
Berlin is certainly very much excited
over DR.. Leyds. He is overwhelmed with
invitations. His apartments at the Palace
Hotel, where the TransvaSi flag is flying,
are besieged day and night by crowds, in
Guiding contractors and mining spectators
as well as fine ladies, gentlemen of the
court and army officers, who wish to con-
graduate him upon the Boer successes or
to Offer their services
An official agency has communicated the
following to the press: I'm spite of off,
cial statements that DR.. Leyds (the diplo-
matte representative of the TransvaaD is
here by official invitation, his visit is en-
tirely by his own initiative, and though he
has received ordinary courtesy, his pres
ence is entirely without political signifi-
cence"

Mr.. Albion K. Paris recently invited the
attention of the District Commissioners to
the dumping Of refuse on the south side
of Rock creek, almost directly opposite the
old Metropolitan Railway Company's build
ings. The dumps, stated Mr.. Paris, are
being made in such a way that at their
base large boulders and a quantity Of earth
are being deposited on the ice, almost as
far out as the middle of the stream. He
said he need not add that every particle
Of matter deposited in this practically
open sewer retards the already poor con-
tinuation of the stream on its course to the
river results with which, he ramarks, the
Commissioners are already familiar
The matter was referred to the street
cleaning department, which reported that
the dumping is done by private parties on
property owned by Mr.. Daniel Loughran.
The police department also Investigated the
complaint, reporting that the dumping is
being done at what will some time be 9th
street, and that the filling is SO close to the
bank that 1t will be impossible to dump
any more matter thereon without part of it
rolling into the creek. The police depart
ment ther efore suggested that fence be
placed there to prevent any further filing
at the point. which recommendation the
Commissioners have approved
