THE GOSPEL OF HATE.

Mr.. Bryan is so fond of making epigrams
that he cannot resist the temptation to make
them even at his own expense In closing his
short speech at Philadelphia yesterday he said:
1T is difficult for man living in the City Of
"BrotherIy Love to defend a policy Of brotherly
hate" The voting in Philadelphia ten days
hence is sure to prove that proposition by a
stupendous majority against Mr.. Bryan. Broth
erly hate is the policy which he is begging
his hearers TO adopt with more and more bitter
insistence as the shadows gather over his cam
paign. Goodwill and self-respect implying re-
spect for the rights of Others are not found in
the creed he breaches. He is desperately seek
ing to inculcate and diffuse the spirit of selfish
ness, jealousy and ignoble discomfort He
wants those TO whom he chiefly appeals to be-
lieve that they are wronged owe grudges and
need to make reprisals. He would send them
to the polls in a vindictive temper burning to
smite imaginary Oppressors. In order to engen-
der that mood he does not scrupIe to distort
any plain record of facts which is inconvenient
for his purpose, or to employ the still meaner
method of insinuation where the character Of
his audience warns him to be cautious.
Four years ago, as the election approached,
this gospel of hate seemed to become Mr.
Bryan's sole reliance. Earlier in the present
campaign there was some reason to think that
he had conceived a higher idea of the respon-
sibilities of his candidacy, and it is painful to
see him STOPPING under the pressure of adversely
to the same degraded and unavaiing policy as
a last resort. 1t may not be more immoral, but
It is less plausible now than 1t was then for the
conditions were perhaps never before so I'M
favorable TO the propagation of base passions.
Mr.. Bryans appeal is as futile it is offensive.

poRTO RICO, AND SOME STATES.


Mr.. Bryan is a fine master of one trick of
stagecraft. When any one asks him question
which it would not be polite for him to answer
frankly he lodges 1t by asking another question
in return or by advising the interlocutOr to
consider some other topic, both the latter being
as a rule quite irrelevant TO the original Ques-
ton. Just so does the sleight of hand per-
former divert attention from the crucial part or
his trick by means Of some entirely eXtraneous
display or incident elsewhere on the stage.
Sometimes, however, there is an apparent rele-
vancy between the question and Mr.. Bryans
reply, in which case analysis will show the
reply either to be disingenuous or TO react
against its maker.
Goaded into taking notice of the man
ner in which his friends and supporters have,
in his interest, disfranchsed a large share of
the people of North Carolina, Mr.. Bryan retorts
that the Mckinley Administration has disfran-
chised the people of Porto Rico to a still worse
degree. If the answer were correct it would
be inconclusive. But 1t is not correct in any
such sense rs Mr.. Bryan would have us sup
pose The law restricting the franchise in
Porto Rico is absolutely impartial 1t does not,
does the infamous law of North Carolina,
discriminate against men on account of race,
color or previous condition of servitude. More
over, it does not deprive so many of the fran
cnlSe as MI. Bryan would like to have us think.
1t is reported that the number of qualified
electors now registered in the island is nearly
one hundred thousand. The population of the
island is probably about nine hundred thousand.
The ratio of one voter to nine inhabitants is not
large But it is larger than, by the grace of
Mr.. Bryan's friends, it is in some of the States
upon which Mr.. Bryan depends for electoral
votes
Thus in the State Of Louisiana in 1896 only
about 100000 votes were cast in a population
of 100000, and in Georgia only 10000 in a
population of 100000. In these States the
ratio was about one to twelve In Mississippi
there were 10000 in a population Of 100000
and in South Carolina $4,000 in 100000 In
these States the ratio was one to eighteen-just
twice as bad as in Porto Rico. Does Mr.. Bryan
approve such a system? Or will he evade the
issue by asking his hearers what they think of
the canals of Mars?
There was once Democratic statesman, of
greater ability and greater real influence in his
party and in the Nation than Mr.. Bryan, who
lodged an embarrassing question by exhorting
the asker Of it to "go home and soak his head"
That eminent example is respectfully submitted
to Mr.. Bryan as an entertaining variant in
hastings manners for the closing days of the
campaign

PITHY SUGGESTION FROM MoREToN

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Mr. Douglas Story. the South African CORE
spondent Of THE Daily Mail" and very response
BILE journalist, has written The Mall that Mr..
Macrum and Mr.. Webster Davis. two officials in
the pay Of your Administration. have shamefully
sold themselves to KRUGER and for large sums.
The accusation. If untrue. is OF course hbellous
in the last degree. Mr.. Harmsworth, the propTle-
tor of The Daily MALL thinks he is. 1 am in q
position to state in possession of the evidence re-
quired to defend a libel action. But if Macrum and
Webster Davis were not corrupted they can OBJ
tain a fortune in damages from jury here.
VIII not those politicians who exploited Macrum
and his associate Davis during the summer insist
that these men clear themselves from this odous
charge in a court OF law? Yours faithfully,
