ADOLPH
PRAISE o BRYAN.
The Democratic Leader Is No Gutter
and Remains True to His
Political Faith.

The New York Sun, in a generous
moment, pays the following tribute
to William j. Bryan:
"The Bryan of 1900 stands before
the people as a man with the holiness
of honest convictions. The sincerity
and courage of such an attitude are
admirable, however ~deplorable the
convictions may be. He is not a quit
ter. The American people hate a quit
ter; we have had the testimony Of
Hon. Samuel Fessenden that the AL
mighty hates a gutter, too.
mfr. Bryan has resisted to the pres
ent time all the efforts OIL the time
servers to make him an accomplice in
the suppression of the main issue
which pore him upward to the COM
manding position he occupies in his
party's councils. He is using his I'M
equaled power to hold the democracy
to it's declared creed, n~otwithstand-
ing the temptations of supposed expe-
diency.
1T is a somewhat curious circum-
stance that Mr.. Bryan should prove
u De HluTe IOr rec silver
than Mr.. Cleveland was for tariff re-
form.
"Indeed, Bryan is showing in 1900
that he really possesses the moral
stamina and u~nyielding adherence to
principle which the mugwumps of ten
or a dozen years ago thought they had
discovered and chiefly admired in
their idealized prophet.
I'm the Ease of Nj. Bryan the part
of honesty is likewise the part of po-
litical wisdom. He has been urged
to ALLEVIATE several millions of voters
for the sake of pleasing a few hun.
dreds of Thousands"

Treatment of the Beers.
The Boer ENJOYS now in Washington
are giving emphasis to the pro-British
attitude of the administration and the
pro-Boer sentiment of the people.
They are a fine sturdy trio of Drawn
and intellect. Vessels, one of the three,
is a farmer and ranchman, who, ac-
cording to old residents of Washing
ton, looks, acts and talks like Abraham
Lincoln. At the enormous Grand
opera house meeting on the night of
the Goth, he made a short, simple, pa
thetic speech, not over ten minutes in
length, which fairly took his audience
off their feet. There were other able
and notable speakers, among them
Congressman William Sulzer, Congress-
man John j. Lentz, Congressman
Champ Clark, Senator Wellington, SEN
ator Mason and Bourke Cochran. Not
a single administration senator, con-
gresham or sympathizer could be in
duced to speak in behalf of the Beers,
although wide and urgent invitations
were sent to them all, from the presi-
dent down, with every assurance that
the meeting would be n~on-partisan in
its character, as it was in fact. Not a
word was said in hostility to the adj
ministration. But it was noticeable
that the most prolonged and vigorous
applause of the evening was given
when Senator Wellington declared the
Filipinos were entitled to their indie
pendence as much as were the Beers.
The audience demonstrated their SYM
pathies for the Beers by contributing
IN a few minutes about 5000 to the
Boer Red Cross fund. This was in ad-
oition to several thousand dollars
which had already been raised here on
the announcement of the coming of the
Boer ENJOYS.

Mark Hanna, according to the New
York Herald, says that four years ago
we were practically a hermit nation,
isolated from all world forces that
promote industry, trade and COM
merce. The statement is absurd. We
invite Mr.. Hanna to the contemplation
of the reports of our trade. He
adds that our manufacturing capabil-
tiles and facilities were beyond our
own needs. That is what the trusts
think. Competition forces prices
down, so they combine, close up sew
eral factories, choke down production,
and then, in the scarcity thus pro-
duced and made possible in part by
the tariff that protects them from
world competition, raise the prices.
Mr.. Hanna adds that the home de-
mand was enormous, but that manu-
facture for home demand does not
add to general wealth. Is it so? Then
it seems to us the Hon. Mark has
let a very large cat out of the
bag. With our high protective tariff
we hand over our home markets
to our home manufacturers. The
market thus at their mercy is sim
ply plucked by them. 1t adds to their
special wealth, witness Carnegie and
Prick, with their yearly millions OF
profits. But their enrichment, ac.
cording to Mr.. Hanna, is at the ex.
pense of the rest of the country.-In.

Presidents foresight has made it possible
for us to secure an even chance for that
great commerce. Our skill and ability will
do the rest.
The Open Door.
But an open door in China means an
open door in the Philippines, o: mean
and niggardly refusal to grant what we
have so gloriously secured; and an open
door in the Philippines means that the
ships md merchandise of other countries
shall enter the ports of those islands
upon the same terms that our own ships
and merchandise enter them.
If the Philippines are part of the
United States merely because the flag flies
there, and if. therefore. we cannot levy
tariff on our merchandise going into the
Philippines, then of necessity it must go
in free of duty and if we enter free of
duty every other nation sharing with us
in the open door policy will also OF right
enter free OF duty: and if when in the
Philippines they are already within the
United States. on the theory that they are
part of the United States instead of a
mere possession, then indeed, are we un-
done, for in such case it must follow
that no tariff duties could be levied on
articles coming from there here, even for
the purpose Of revenue. And thus an open
door in the Philippines would prove an
open door for the whole world to the
United States.
AS soon as the insurrectiOn has been
suppressed and civil government has been
established We must pass upon the ques-
tion. Spain, under the terms of the treaty
already has an open door with us to the
Philippines and if We cannot levy duties
on our goods entering the Philippines
neither can we levy duties on the goods
of Spain. Therefore Spain can ship into
the Philippines and then into the United
States without restriction OF any kind save
only such as we have power to impose on
what comes from the Philippines here on
our own commerce with the islands. That
would mean free entry into the United
States not only for Spain but for all other
countries who might make of Spain and
the Philippines an open door.
'All this might be elaborated. but | have
said enough to indicate the Considerations
that controlled the legislation for Porto
Rico. The Porto Ricans have been ia
vored with the most liberr' provisions
ever made for anybody by our Government,
while at the same time our own interests
have been protected against all possible
contingencies"
In conclusion Senator Foraker com
mended the Civil Government bill Of the
island and declared that the inevitable
results OF the legislation which has been
enacted Will constitute a complete redemp-
tion OF all promises and a triumphant vim
dication Of the Republican party for that
constructive craftsmanship so essential to
the safe guidance of the Republic in its
onward course of expansion and power

Enthusiastic Meetings Addressed by
FLYNN and MuSeIIer

Tonkawa, O. T., Oct. 24-Monday was
a great Republican day in Towanka.
Dennis Flynn had been billed to speak
here at 2 o'clock and long before that
hour long lines of teams could be seen
filing down the roads to the city. At 2
o'clock at least 1900 people were as
sembled around the speakers stand. Mr.
Flynn arrived at the appointed time,
overland, forty miles from Pond Creek,
though he was far from well and had
telegraphed a. r. Musseller of Perry to
go to Towanka and fill his appointment
there and at Nardin. Mr.. Flynns in
domitable will and his pride in never
missing an appointment, are all that
brought him to the melting Mr. Flynn's
address of an hour was a splendid presen-
tation Of the issues of the campaign. He
was followed by Judge Musseller who dis
cussed imperialim and Mr.. FIynn's record
FOR an hour. 1t wasa great meeting in
every respect. In the evening they both
spoke at Nardin in the opera house,
which was filed to suffocation
Newkirk, Oct. 24-Yesterday was a gala

Flynn was feeling better than for sew
eral days previous and made a great
speech. He was followed by Judge A.
R. Musseller of Perry, who showed con-
clusively by the record that Dennis Flynn
had been the true friend of the settler,

Guthrie, o. T., Oct 24.-Some of the re-
suits Of the first geological survey of Ok
lahoma can be seen IN the rooms of DR..
A. II. Van Vleet. the acting territorial
geologist. The work of unpacking the
material collected has just begun. but
that which is arranged and classified is
interesting to the observer. Not all of the
geological exhibit is representative Of
Oklahoma; some of Il is the result of ex-
changes but the Oklahoma fossils are Of
sufficient interest TO indicate the work
that may be done in the future. In one
case is a fine collection Of fossil leaves
from the Dakota sandstone of Kansas
and Nebraska In another are fossil
ferns and leaves from the coal meausres.
One division is given to collection Of
marine shells from an ancient sea beach
in Western Oklahoma. These shells are
so numerous there that one Of the, col
lectors was able TO pick up a peck OF
them in five minutes by the watch. Near
these shells are some amorites from
Texas, These giant snail shells meas
ure from eight inches TO a foot IN dia-
meter. In corner is a giant corkscrew
arrangement, Daemanelix Oevil's cork
screw from the Rad Sands" which is
now puzzling scientists These are fine
specimens Of fossil wood. a collection Of
fossil bones with which Prof Hawarth OF
Kansas University Is working for iden-
tifcation, and collections of minerals,

man in town could be found who would

The Democrats and Populists here in
