Democrats Not Eyasive.

In his speech made Oct before the
Commercial Travellers League in Chi
cago Senator Hanna took occasion to
throw boquets at the Republican party
and himself incidentally as to the man
ner in which he thought every issue
brought out by the Democratic party
has been thrashed out" This is the
most fatuuous statement that has fall
en- from the lips of Mr.. Hanna since
he took the stump for the purpose of
trying to lift the Republican party out
of the slough of despond into which
the reckless administration of McKin-
ley has plunged it.
Senator Hanna went on to declare
that he was anxious to see what the
Democrats would bring up next. The
Democratic party has nothing to bring
up next" The questions which that
party has been insiting upon as the
leading issues of the present campaign
have nothing Of the haphazard about
them. They were all duly set forth in
the Kansas City platform and have
been reiterated time and again on the
stump and in the letters which Mr..
Richard Olney, Mr.. Carl Schurz and
other untrammelled minds have seen
fit to write. The Republican party
cannot point to any avoidance Of the
true issues Of this campaign. Even the
money question, which properly speak
ing is not this fall an issue of first i'm
portance, has been kept plainly before
the people by Mr.. Bryan and other
speakers. There has been no attempt
to hide 1t.
This course presents a striking con-
trast to the conduct of the Republican
speakers who have appeared on the
hustings this fall. Mr.. Hanna himself
| tried to dispose of the trust issue by
his own simple unsupported assurance
| that there are no trusts. He thought
to kill this important question with one
breath Of wind from his reservoir OF
oratory, and of course, with over three
hundred organized trusts, robbing the
people all over the country, and their
robbery felt by every one, he utterly
failed and became the laughing stock
OF sensible people. He and his col
leagues on the stump have studiously
avoided the question of imperialism
whenever they have been able to do so.
and have failed most ignominously
when compelled to attempt to answer
| the charges on this head.

An Incident of Politics.

The interchange of communications
between Canton, o., where Mr.. McKin-
ley has temporary residence just now,
and the Carnegie company and the
navy department. which has in it's
hands the allotment of $4,000 900 ar
NOR plate contracts, Mark Hanna OF
course assisting in pulling the wires,
is one of the incidents of everyday pol
itics, and is not miles removed from
Mr.. Carnegie's North American" arti-
Gle supporting Mckinley while vouch-
ing for Bryan as setting forth the
truest Americanism. 1t is announced
the contracts may not be awarded until
after the November election. Very
likely. Mark Hanna must first be sat
isfied as to the nature and extent of the
political contributions. The advanced
price OF armor plate, which Secretary
Long is considering, amounts to five or
six millions on the great contracts to
be awarded. A million Of that for the
uses of Mark Hanna would be a small
contribution, and nobody would feel
IT but the taxpayers of the United
States out of whose pockets it would
come.-Pittsburg Post

BRYAN IN MARYLAND.
Enthusiastic Crowds Greet Demo-
cratic Candidate In Spite of Rain.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 24.-Hon. William
]. Bryan, the Democratic presidential
candidate, devoted the entire day to
speechmaking in Maryland, speaking in
succession at Rockville, Frederick,
Bruccvile, Union Bridge New Windsor,
Westminster, Glyndon and in this city
last evening.
The Rockville meeting was the only
one of the day that was not marred by
rain. On account of the downpour most
of the meetings were cut short, but the
crowds in each case remained until Mr..
Bryan had concluded his remarks.
The greeting extended to Mr.. Bryan
on his arrival here last evening and dur
ing the meetings held inside and outside
of Music hall was limited in numbers on
ly by the capacity of the places in which
the meetings were held and in cnthu-
siasm only by the ability of the immense
crowds to give expression TO it. 1t was
raining gently, but steadily, when the
special train bearing the Democratic
presidential candidate pulled into the
Union station an hour late. but this did
not prevent the assembling of a crowd
of fully 10000 people about the depot.
A parade was formed. and Mr.. Bryan
drove ut its head to the Hotel Rennert,
where he dincd with several Democratic
leaders. including former United States

AN Unnttractive Fact.

Judge Este, OF the United States court,
recently rendered a decision that must
be of great interest to the people of the
United States, and especially so with
respect to the laboring element OF our
citizenship. II is to the effect that
since the annexation of the Philippines
and the Hawaiian Islands native OF
the Island of Guam does not need to
be naturalized to become a citizen or
Hawaii, for the reason that the islands
are under the same jurisdiction. On
the same theory he would be Obliged
to rule that a native of either of the
islands may become a citizen of Penn
sylvania without taking out naturaliz-
alton papers.
If that be true, and IT is supported by
reason, the thousands of Asiatics who
are born in the Philippine Islands and
Hawaii have the right not only to
land at any port of entry in the United
States. but to claim citizenship, with
all the rights and privileges which
that relation entails, in any part of the
territory of the United States. More

Hawaii are Chinese, either imported
or born of parents imported, and every
such person would have the same right
TO come to Pennsylvania as would n
citizen. native or naturalized, of New
York, New Jersey or any other state in
the American Union.
This is a lovely feast to offer to the
workingmen of this country. The
Chinese exclusion act is abrogated, and
the millions of Filipinos, no more intel
ligent and quite as unfit for American
citizenship can force themselves, under
the imperial policy of the Mckinley
administration, into competition in the
labor market of every industrial center
in the land. How do the iron workers,
the coal miners and the other laborers
of Pennsylvania like such a prospect?
1t is certainly not attractive, but it is
what is before them. according to the
decision of Federal Judge Este. The
remedy is to vote against the re-elec-
tion of Mckinley.

SWISS NATIONAL INSURANCE
Report Giving Some Interesting Facts
About Proposed Law That
Was Recently Defeated.

In a report to the state department
Consul General Dubois, at st. Gall,
gives some interesting facts about the
proposed Swiss accident and military
insurance law, says the Washington
Post. This law, which was recently
defeated by a two-thirds vote, pre-
scribes obligatory insurance in cases
of sickness and accident. The govern
ments share of the expense of the
entire premium of the insurance was
to be 20 per cent, the labor 20 per
cent, while the employers of labor
were to bear 60 per cent. The text
OF the proposed law contained 400 ar
ticles, among which was the military
insurance clause, which met consider
able opposition by the military class
es' The project was defeated this
time by $4,000 votes. Glarus was the
only province out of the 22 cantons
which gave majority in favor of the
proposition, There are various causes
which helped to defeat this measure.
In agricultural districts it was con-
sidered to be of advantage to the in
dustrial centers. Great dissatisfac-
tion was shown by the people engaged
in house industries, because the law
was made compulsory for some and
optional for others. Strong opposi-
ton was met with among the large
manufacturers, especially those of the
silk industry, because they were con-
vinced that the law would tax them
heavier than they were being taxed
under the compulsory system which
is at present in existence.
