There EoT. Mr. Bryan, you have gone
and done it You have scared President
Mckinley out Of his wits Your outcry
against imperialism has. caused him 10
smash up the concert of Powers in Chinese
affairs. Mr.. Mckinley has got plenty Of
sense 10 know that nothing could have
been more foolish than for him 10 take
the United States out of the concert
of powers. but he could not stand the
racket Remaining amongst kings ana
crnrerors and holono,5bing every day with
their ambassadors and other representa-
tiyes gave sorae color to your clamor
about imperialism, and made Mckinley
think that ne might lose some votes, and
so the interests of the United States in
China were left to scufile for themselves
so that Mckinley could say, You see i
am no mperialist.'' The Presidents course
is simply scaadalous. In the concert OF
Powers we we're dominant and controlling.
All the world knew that our position was
an ,lnselfsh one: ali the world knew we
had great interests to protect and all the
world knew we had the men, the money
and tfle ships to protect those interests
with, ana that our men were fighting men
sure enough. 50 that we would have i'm
posed our XIII upon the other Powers, and
each in turn would have been only too
glad 10 be known as he first that Cell
into line under orr lead. China, too, knew
that VIC had no designs upon her and she
would have taken what we presented 10
ner without a moments hesitation. All
this great position of dignity and power
is now thrown away and in the settle
ment of Chinese affairs We viii count for
absolutely nothing.
Suppose the other Powers remain IN con-
cert and divide China up as there now
seems great probability Of being the case.
What will you do about it, Mr.. Mckinley?
VIII You tamely submit and see us and
our trade booted ont OF China, or viii you
wage wEr upon the united world 10
maintain our rights? That may very we'll
be the alternative that will be offered you,
and when it is. What viii You do about it?
Although Mr.. Mckinley was born with
out backbone he seems TO have some
he can make look like q backbone at
times II is q case of now You see it and
now you don't. He has plainly heard from
lie American people in regard to his
wre,ched regeneration, and The latest dis
PATCHES indicate some show of his doubling
on his track. Hasten, Ar. President, TO
do this. Never mind talk of inconsist-
Grey and imperialism Keep your eye
fixed upon American interests in China
and nerve your heart TO save them at all
hazard. Telegraph Lord Salisbury that
You court united action in this matter
with Great Britain. and you viii get an
answer as quickly as it can be flashed
here that Great Britain reciprocatcs your
sentiments. and then this Government and
England together can dictate what saiaii

SOCIAL EQUALITY.

The Macon Telegraph thinks that the
New York Sun makes a point Wtlen il
crfticises The Richmond Times for saying
that the Southern people are rightly deter
mined to let everything perish before they
will submit to having the social equality
OF negroes forced upon them. The Tele-
graph insists that social equality, being
q matter OF individual choice. is some
thing which no laws can regulate.
we employed this term as tie sunlum
nahum Of negro rule. OF course we do
not fear social equality per Sc But
everybody knows that when the negro
party is in power in any section OF the
South, the negro becomes intolerahlv in
soicnt. and everybody knows also that if
the negro party should become dominant
in the South and backed up by a Republi-
can administration, the Southern people
would be compelled to open their hotels,
their places of amusement, their public
schools, and all quasi public places to both
races without distinction. In short, such
a party would do everything in its power

To attempt this sort of thing were to

from the principles Of the other as true
We say, therefore. that citizen OF the
United States who has cultivated princl-s
pies naturally affiliates with this party
or that according as he believes. II he
believes in nationalism, in a strong cen
tralized Government, in class legislation,
The naturally affiliates with the Repuoh-
can party. II he believes in States rights
individual liberty and government OF the
people by the people. for the people; II
he believes in as little as possible of gov
ernmsrtal interference with private at
fairs; II he believes in equal rights to all
and special privileges to none, he naturally
affiliates with the Democratic party.
Generally speaking, we believe that
man should act and vote with the party
to which he belongs, even though some
taste, and even though the nominee be
not altogether to his liking. In short, we
believe in honest partisanry. We love to
see man have settled convictions and
we love to see him enthusiastically sup
port the party to which he belongs. we
love 10 see man as loyal to his party as
he is to his church organization. But
when the party 10 which he belongs de-
parts from its time lonored principles
and asks him to put party regularity ahead
of conscience and conviction, then is the
time for him to bolt. No true Baptist, Tor
example, who believes that immersion IS
the only Scrptulal mode Of baptism would
be expected to remain loyal to his church,
if his church should repudiate immersion.
Our protest is against the party yoke
We do not like any sort of bondage, and
We are as much opposed to party slavery
as to any other variety OF seIVitude
Loyalty to party is to be commended, but
it does not imply sacrifice of principle
We put Independent manhood first. That
is letters nan Democracy, of which SO
much has been said, and If any man
doubt, let him read Mr.. jefferson on
that subject.

Bryan, is seeking to enforce statute
of Nebraska. The law5is a good law and
ought to be enforced, and the people of

We agree with Mr. Bryan. Whether or

discretion in such matters. 1t is the duty
Of the executive officer to execute the laws

were prevented BY popular clamor from
doing his duty in this case. 1t is maxim
that the best way to get rid OF a bad law

Touched with the pain of passing things
The heart of Hertha beats more SLOW
The sunflowers tempt no more the oees'
The scarlet hosts of m2p!e-trees-
The torches OF the year--burn low,
And beauty grows too deadly TAR
For man to bear,
Because she is at point to go.
The maple clothes herself in flame
When first she hears SepteInber's name
4 wonderful and wistful word
Sung by some wise last-summer pird.
The bees are busy in the phloX.
Their thrift from hearts OF hoilyhocks
No honey wrings:
No nightingale at twilight sings.
The swifts bethink them of their wings.
And all the shining afternoon
The air is full of butterflies
Live flowers that storm the needless skies.
That fain would quench the hunters moon,
And set the worlds clock back to June
But all in vain
Moths so; mists come; and frosts remain.

For the year ending August 81. 1853. the
North shows an increase in .;a2linss" Of
only 4993S bales over 1850. In the same
period the South shows an Increase IN
cotton Consumption of S]2,45l bales. In
1865 the North took 21.795 bales less than
in 1888. In 1850 the South consumed l9'r'ls
bales more than in 1889
How about the prices for the raw cot
ton? In 1861 the average commercial
value of the crop was $3.50 per bale; IN
1878 il was S2S.G2; in 1S&S-99 it was $25-'S;
and in 1SSo-1s0O the vaIue IS $3.50. In IS9S-

bales, and in 1S&9-l900 it was 9,455,il6 bales.
Fer {, crop OF 1.$3S.424 bales less than last
year. therefore, the South received $SI.9l1, 353
mere.
with such figures as these comment IS
unnecessary The South IS not only in
the field OF cotton manufactures TO stay.
but there is every Indication Of increased
prosperity for both the cotton producer and

AFTERMATH

A daughter has been born to Mrs. Gae-
tano .Bresci, wife of the assassin of King
Humbert. The child was born on satur-
day night at West Hcroken, in wlich
place Bresci had installed his wife before
leaving for Italy on his fatal mission. The
infant IS said to be healthy and the mother
is doing well.
The State Department In Washington
has received a communication from Con-
sui McCook, at Dawson City, in which
he says that the past summer in the gold
regions was unusually rainy. He adds:
More claims have been worked this
summer than in any previous season. On
account of the extra rainfall there was
sufficient water for sluicIng. TIE amount
of gold sent out to date this season. as
per5 consular invoices, is Sl250o,000; it Is
possible that about S2E0o0o has gone out
without any record.
...rhe Tanana mining district still oc-
cupies the attention of prospectors. There
is a large area win more streams than
in any other mining district so far dis
covered in Alaska. All bear gold. Which
will give work later on to an army OF
