BRYAN Arms His Friends With Logic
to Discomfort His Foes.


LApoRTE, IND, Sept. 1.-Two thou
sand people assembled at the Lake Shore
Depot this afternoon to give enthusiastic
greeting to William Jennings Bryan. The
cheering was long continued, cannon boom
ed and bands played. Mr.. Bryan spoke
as follows
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen
have about FIVE minutes to strengthen
the faith of those who are with US,
and to convert any who may be against
US, and it is a very short time in which to
enter upon the discussion of any question.
Instead of attempting to elaborate any
question am going to suggest few ques-
tons for you to ask of those who are against
us, for about the greatest service that
speaker can render to an audience Is to give
weapons to those who are on his side to use
in the hand to hand conflict, for CONVEX
sions are made when citizens talk to each
other as citizens.
AMMUNITION TO sLAY REPUBLICANS.
If Republican tells you that the gold
standard is good, you ask him why his
President sent commission to Europe since
the last election to get rid of gold standard.
If any Republican tells you that the
greenback is bad and ought to be retired,
you ask him why his party did not dare to
say so in the last campaign.
If man tells you that permanent debt
is GOOD thing. YOU tell him that in all
the campaigns of the past the Republican
party has been Dragging about how 1t paid
off the national debt; and yet today the
Republican party stands for currency sys-
TEN that can only be permanent on the
theory that the national debt shall be per-
manent, for you can have bank notes, Sc
cured ty Government bonds. unless there
are Government bonds to secure them.
FATAL TO FRIENDS or TRUSTS.
If any Republican tells you that the
trust is a good thing, ask him why the
Republican platform denounces the trusts,
If the Republican says that the trust / a
bad thing, you ask him why Republican
Administration allowed more trusts 10 be
organized than we're ever organized IN all
the previous history of the country
If any Republican attempts to justify
the Porto Rican policy You tell that Re
publican that when We found the people Of
Porto Rico they had representation in the
Spanish legislature, and that now We refuse
to give them any representation in our leg
islature. Tell Republicans that when We
found the Porto Ricans they had free trade
with their mother country, and now We
DENY them free trade with the United
States, although they must swear allegiance
10 our Government.
CHEEREp To THE ECHO As HE SPOKE.
Mr.. Bryan ringing declaration against
imperialism was roundly cheered He said
that to seize the Philippine islands aud GOV
eru them without their consent, aud tax
them without representation. will allow u
10 seize anybody else that Is not stronger
than We are. aud We will never have a
smaller army than we have nov If We have
imperialism.
The immense concourse Of people cheered
Justify when, in concluding. he exclaimed
that he did not want the Filipino for CHI
zen or subject. but would give him indie
pendence and permit him 10 work out hls
own destiny

A False Prophet

From the Philadelphia LedEss Republican
II Is impossible 10 refrain from admiriu-,
or wondering at, the harlihood uf General
f. 5 Otis in continuing to speak. a. one
having authority, on the subject uf peace
in the Philippines. 10 whatever Geld Of
human knowledge or speculation General
Otis opinion may be entitled to respect
and confidence on the Philippine question
his opinions have no value ca that sub
ject he has an established reputation a 1.
worthless judge and false prophet When
be was in command at Manila be assured
the country at frequent intervals that wlth
so, 900 troops he would paeify the Islands
in few weeks Later on he vas positive
the war was over, and with painful iteration
he asserted that only handful II robbers
and nondescripts we're left ia the rceessc, q
remote regions In the meantime matters
in the Philippines were going from bad e.
worse, aud finally the optimistic 0tts who
had failed to pacify the enemy and refused
10 recognize officially his existanoe va, n
called, aud a great army was sent to Manila
TO do the difficult work which OTIS NJ
teFly failed to do. General OTIS, uu-
abashed by the conclusive evidences far
nished BY the presence Of 90. 600 Amer
can soldiers in the Philippines, where they
have all they can do to keep the enemy IN
check. has continued since his return To
this country to cry that there Is peace
when the news dispatches aud the policy
Of the War Department in maintaining a
large army in the islands show that there
is constant and severe fighting.
He now says that there are only about
$50 insurgents left, who are hiding in the
mountains awaiting the election news.
These followers Of Aguinaldo viii give up
the fight, says the General if Bryan should
be roundly defeated The other day our
troops are reported TO have killed $50 ma
tive in combat, and, therefore, only about
100 remain. If the number is really so
small as General Otis says, why should
anybody care whether they surrender or
not, and why Is our army Of over GO 600
men kept afeld? At the very time when
General Otis was talking on peace the
Associated Press correspondence from the
Philippines, dated Manila, September ,,
informs the country that it would be unwise
to withdraw any of the United States
troops, conditions are unsatisfactory
and that rarely a day passes without an
encounter between United States troops
and the insurgents. There are 5000
soldiers in the district under General Bates,
and the activity of the enemy increased
last month
General Otis, peace talks are an enigma

Wash Your Hands.

1t has recently been claimed that cases
of infection that could be accounted for in
no other way have been explained by the
fingers as a vehicle. In handling money,
especially of paper, door knobs, banisters,
car straps, and hundred, hundred things
that everyone must frequently touch, there
are chances innumerable of picking up
germs of typhoid, scarlatina, diphtheria,
small pox, ct cetera. Yet some persons
actually put such things in their mouths,
if not too large Before eating, or touch
ing that which is eaten, the hands
should be Immediately and serupulously
washed. We hear much about general
cleanliness as next to godliness. Il
may be added that here in particular 1t 4
also ahead of health and safety. The jew:
made no mistake in that except they
washed they eat not 1t is a sanitary or
dinanee as well as an ordinance of decency
