A BRIGHT Of ITO
with Such q Leader as Bryan, Dem-
ocratic Victory Il Almost
# ~ Assured.

Mr.. Bryan's speech Of acceptance at
indianapolis is without doubt the po-
ntical event of paramount Importance
in the present campaign. Mr.. Bryan
received at the hands of the democratic
party the nomination for the presi-
dency. A partisan utterance upon this
occasion would have been pardoned-
nay, more, was even expected by the
country at large. Tradition and prece-
dent exist to justify q candidate in such
q course. He of fCanton-Mark Hanna's
man-who was recently notified of a
nomination, took occasion to plead for
the principles of a party and in the
cause of an administration. In multi
farious terms he told what "we" had
done, and fairly reveled in the deeds of
"us." The republican party was de-
fended-even apologized for. And Will
liam Mckinley accepted at the hands
of those who bore the stamp of the re-
publican party the nomina ton for the
presidency of the United States. Mr..
McKinley's speech of acceptance will
go down in history as the statement of
a party chief to his party followers.
But how different is the tone and tenor
of Mr.. Bryan's indianapolis address.
Mckinley spoke to a party-Bryan to
a nation; Mckinley plead the cause of
an Observation-Disclosures the cause of
a people. Mckinley defended the prin-
ciples of a party; Bryan spoke in de-
fense of the principles that are at the
foundation of free government; McKin-
ley spoke as candidate, but Mr.. Bryan
spoke as an American citizen.
In the face of existing circumstances
!; is fact of peculiar significance that
Mr.. Bryan could reply to the notitica-
tion committee in speech bearing as
little trace of partisan politics as the
constitution of the United States or the
declaration of independence. This does
not indicate that Mr.. Bryan is not a

ABOUT BELGIAN HARES.
Breeding Of This Animal a. an In dua.
try Began, 1t II Now Claimed, -
Ten Years Ago.

In answer to number Of inquiries
In regard to the Belgian hare, we
find, upon investigation, that the
breeding of this animal in this coun-
try as an industry began about ten
years ago. The breeders are natural
~ enthusiastic and possibly are too
optimistic in their view of the future
OF this constantly charging business.
It IN claimed by them that no other
line OF breeding offers anything like
the profits that the breeding of tho
Belgian hare does. Both the meat
and the hide are valuable. The cost
OF producing the meat, it is claimed.
is not over five cents pound at the
most, and we have been informed by
breeders in the vicinity of Denver,
COL, that the meat in that market
sells from Is to % cents pound.
The meat of a young Belgian hare is
highly extolled by those who are ac-
quainted with its quality, and all such
unite in saying that as toothsome
article of diet it cannot be excelled
by any meat that comes to our tables.
The hare is exceedingly prolific, the
doe sometimes producing IS to 50
young hares in the course of the
year, and does begin to breed at the
age of six months.
The food is that which is common
ly eaten by sheep, and should be a
variety which can readily be provid-
ed from oats, clover, roots, bread and
milk, etc. All the shelter that is
needed 1s an open shed that will
always be dry and must be clean.
Cleanliness in the hutch must be
maintained. Three by four or five
feet is large enough for hutch. The
nesting box, which must be provided
for each breeding doe, should be three
feet long and two feet in width and
height. A portion of the cage should
be covered with wire netting. Cover
the bottom with fine straw. A litter
is from six to dozen. When about
two months old the young are weaned
and the sexes separated. The weight
of Belgian, if pure bred, at ma
turity is from eight to ten pounds

outlook for the democratic party at
the present time is hopeful would be
putting it mildly. Mr.. Bryan's speech
seems to have put a new aspect upon
the campaign. kilograms Of congratu-

Gratis have been literally pouring in up

the democracy.
The dissolution Of the gold democ-
racy at a regular meeting, and the
quick assimilation of all it's influen-
tial members by the regular party
marked the end of the truancy of
1896. When the Ohio Bar association
met in yearly convention a few weeks
later and the president, Judge A. P.
Laubie, lifelong republican, de-
nounced McKinley's policy of imperial
ism, he found no dissenters, though
fully half the members were repub-
licans. ~

PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS.

Democracy course grows steadi-
ly stronger with the people.-Albany
Argus. -
Republican efforts to befog the
issues and deceive the voters have
failed. They must face the verdict on
McKinley's record.-A1bany Argus.
The administrations papers have
ceased to harp upon. the fact that Col.
William Jennings Bryan remained in
Florida during the war in Cuba until
driven to resign in disgust. They have
no doubt received q warning from the
administrative power that kept him
there for political reasons. - Denver
Post. %As5s~ 5@*} .'-
The great argument the demo-
Gratis have to withstand in this cam
paign is the hard cash argument-the
money contributed by the trusts as the
price of republican protection and the
levies on offieeholders. Even the whisky
and beer venders in far-away Manila
are expected to contribute to Hanna's
campaign chest.-Pittsburgh Post.
The rise in the prices of trust
articles is long way out Of proportion
to the rise in the prices of the, farmers
products. This is what enables the
trusts to contribute SO iberally to the
administration campaign fund. The
thoughtful agriculturists will be able
to. see that they are the men who'are
making Mr.. Hanna so recklessly af-
fluentin polit Cincinnati Enquirer.
Chairman Hanna has gone to
Boston to scare the New England bene-
fciaries Of the protective tariff into
giving up aspercentage Of their plun-

gOOd democrat, Dut raCner tnaC the
democratic party is contending not so
much for certain theories of admins
tration in free government as for free
government, itself. Hence it is that,
fighting for the very existence of the
republics, the position of the patriotic
citizen who stands for free government
and the position of the democratic par
ty becomes IDENTICAL Mr. Bryan was
great enough to recognize this. Mr..
Bryan 8 speech was remarkable on ac-
count of the things he said. Mr.. Nc
Kinley's Canton speech was chiefly re-
markable on account of the things he
did not say. The Canton speech abounds
in vague intimations andpromises. It
does not hold out to the: Filipinos the
faintest hope either of independence on
the one hand or of the freedom and
rights of American citizenship on the
other.
The voter has only to read so much
of Mr.. McKinley's speech as relates to
this subject in order to find this state
ment to be correct. He will some
thing about giving to the Filipinos as
much self-government as they are fit
for-as though the right of people 1O,-
900 miles away to self-government was
not God-given right, but right to be
granted by some authority in Wash
ington. But he win find not the faint
est whisper Of such a thing as inde-
pendence for people over whom we
have no authority except such as Spain
somehow is: supposed to have had a
right to give us.
In Mr.. Bryan's speech, however, the
voter may find a pledge that if he is
elected he will convene congress at the
earliest moment to declare the nations
purpose: :Slj3 - + 1g4ajIt ~
First. To establish stable form of
government in the Philippine islands,
just as we are now esta bishing stable
form of governmentin in Cuba.
III Second. To give independence to the
Filipinos, just as we have promised to
give independence to the Cubans. 80
Third. To protect the Filipinos from
outside interference while they work
out their own destiny, just as we have
protected the republics Of: Central and
South America and are by the Monroe
doctrine pledged to protect Cuba"
This is sufficiently clear and sue
,cinct statement of the democratic po-
sition. OF its correctness, of course,
there can be no doubt. ....:=.$S n.
This, with what Mckinley says, and
with what5he significantly omits to say,
sufficiently defines the issue as. to the
Philippines. ssssss
4 The broader issue Of Imperialism,
which includes that.of the Philippines,
may be. stated thus: d
Mr.. Bryan stands upon the doctrine
of the dec1ara tion Of ndepende dence, that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent ofsthel governed.
Mr.. Mckinley stands Tfor, the utter
srepudia diation of that doctrine and for
the doctrine Of the thrones, that man

Virginia Council, Junior Order United
American Mechanics, which includes
143 subordinate councils, with a mem.
bership Of 5000, has been suspended
by the national council of the order
The official notice was received last
night by State Councillor Floyd A.
Hudgins, of Newport News, who is in
Richmond urging the granting by the
legislature of q charter which will give
the State council an independent ex-
istence.
The order of suspension alleges in
subordinstion, which consists mainly
in the refusal of the State council, de-
cided upon at it's last meeting, to pay
the per capita tax of Is cents for the
support of the national council. The
Virginia branch claims to have other
grievances, including the alleged ex.
travsgance OF the national council and
unfair distribution of representation in
the national body.
The charter, in which State officers

Senate without delay. Many OF the To-
cal councils own property or have
money which they expect to be able to
prevent from reverting to the nat'Onal
council in the event OF 6nsl expulsion.
The final result OF the contest be-
tween the national and State councils
cannot be foretold. And, because Of
this, the members of the order are
somewhat apprehensive, The order
holds assets in the State amounting to
tens OF thousands of dollars. Many of
the subordinate councils have money 10
bank, some own their halls, others own
real estate. The laws Of the order
would forfeit all the assets of the State
council to the national council should
expulsion follow the order of suspen.
sion. The State council, through its
executive committee, Is fighting now
for q means of protection.

According to reports from Boer sources
the advanced position of the British at

Describing the fighting st the British
centre, it Is said that on Tuesday after
noon the Beers took the front British
trenches north of Poteieter's, but were
driven out again by Ly.tleton's brigade
at the point Of the bayonet. This ac-
ton Is believed here TO be the British

THURSDAY EVENING, FEB. g, 1900

No RIGHT thinking Southern man
denies, or has any reason to do so. that
there are honest, true, brave and reliable
republicans in the North; but the
trouble is, that few of them become
prominent in politics. An exception to
the ruls is Mr.. Mccall of Boston. As
a member of the House elections COM
mittee, he has previously voted, as an
intelligent and unprejudiced juror, In
favor of Southern democratic contestees,
and now he Is fair minded enough to
saw that Porto Rico having become a
mart and parcel of the United States,
must. under the Constitution, be en-
titled to all the privileges and immuni-
ties of any other part OF the country,
apd that consequently there can be no
tariff on lite imports from, or its exports
to. this country. To saying this, ne an
tsgonizes his whole party and the Pres
ident; but he has honest convictions
and bravery and independence enough
TO express them.
