Bourke Cochran In Chicago.

On Saturday night BOurke Cochran,
of New York, addressed an audience
of $1,000 people at Chicago. In his
speech be rldiculed the various argu-
ments of the Republican orators upon
the Philippine question, and said that
if it we're profitable to take the Philip
pines it would be equally profitable to
annex China.
1t was nearly midnight when Mr.
Cochran concluded. After reviewing
the efforts of the Boer eavoys to OBJ
tain recognition at the hands of the
government, he said, referring to the
relations of this administration with
the English Government: "There wai
not an alliance. That would not bt
the proper way to describe it. It wal
a surrender of this government to the
control of the British Foreign Office. ,
He maintained that il the gold stand
ard is not secure now, it can never be
made secure by the election of Repub
licans, in conclusion, Mr.. Cochran said
II have no doubt how this campaign
will end. see on every side the proof
that justice will triumph, as it has al.
ways triumphed in this country
cannot believe the republic Is in dan.
ger, that is built upon all the virtue
which humanity has developed, and
which is in itself the supreme outcome
of Christian civilization. That all
men are equal before the law is the ma
tural fruit of Christianity. 1t will re.
main while Christian civilization en-.
lightens the world, and stimulates the
heart of man. AS long as man is de
stined to Justice, to progress-as long
as eye Is fixed upon the eternal truths
OF Heaven, the flag of this country
typifying justice, and the Constitu
ton, which secures it. lnseparable, in
destructible, and invincible, shall re-
main linked together. forever and for
ever" prolonged Applause.)

The Mckinley administration has
coined and put in circulation since the
4th of March, 1897. $53 600, 900 OF silver
dollars at the ratio of 10 to /. The
Democrats knew they had to do it to
keep the country alive. They make
no complaint Of this, they wish it had
been five hundred and thirty millions
instead, but they do complain Of the
hypocracy which shouts for gold
standard, and yet sustains the life of
the country by using what those hypo-
critics term fifty-cen dollars.

Travelling Men Oppose Trusts.

NEW ORLEANS, La, May 22.-The business
convention of the National Travellers Pro-
tectve Association opened at the Athenaum
to-day. Delegates were present from twenty
four states. Illinois, Louisiana, Nebraska,
Tennessee and Virginia asked for additional
delegates owing to increased membership.
The report of the executive committee was
devoted largely to trusts and their evil effects
upon trade. Concerning trusts the report, which
was unanimously adopted, says in part:
"The dark clouds of nonopolies and trusts
still hover over u.s. and since our last conven-
ton, many commercial travellers have lost their
positions, and to use the language of an author
lied agent of trusts, who has boosted in New
York paper that $4,000 commercial travellers
have been thrown out of employment by the
concentration of mercantile and commercial
industries in the trust; that So ooo, 900 daily is
thus saved to the trusts by the consequent
Withholding of advertising patronage from
country newspapers-in other words, the trusts
in these two items alone save to themselves
$4,000, 900 daily, all of which is withdrawn
direct from the people"

In letter to Geo. D. Rathbun, of Ottawa,
Governor St. John says: eve have probably
outlived the day when the office seeks the man,
and the fact that l cannot consistently seek the
office [of congressman renders my nomination
improbable. We have hard fight before us,
and it is going to require united effort &c wn
All personalities must be dropped, and we
should enter the canvass shoulder to shoulder,
heart to heart, and never cease to work until
we have won a great victory and driven from
power the present administration, which has
done more for the trusts and imperialism than
all the administrations which have preceded it.
l want the coming congressional convention TO
be perfectly free from political wire-pulling, to
the end that the best man for the position may
be selected. When the work of the convention
is over, we should lay aside all prejudice, and,
remembering the sacredness and Importance of
the principles involved, all pull together, and

When he said you'd gone and left him like
