BouteIle and Blaine.

They used to tell a good story about
Boutelle in connection with the cam
paign of 1884. He idolized Blaine, and
for years there was bad blood between
him and Reed, because Reed acted as
though he thought himself as great as,
or greater than, the plumed knight.
The story is that Boutelle accompa-
MED Blaine on his western tour in
1884. When the special pulled out Of
New York, Boutelle rushed over to
Blaine's seat, his face white with IN
ger and his voice vibrant with passion
Holding in his trembling hands a copy
of the New York Tribune, he pointed
to an article and exclaimed, WA
there ever such fatuous laundering as
that?"
For half an hour he commented on
the article to the half score persons
who had gathered round. The Tribune
was Blaine's chief organ, as every n
knew, but the fiery Yankee of French
extraction continued to pour hot shot
into it. Finally Blaine said, Charley.
do you know who wrote that end pro-
cured its insertion in The Tribune?"
"No," was the answer, 'but l take it
that it was Whitelaw Reid Or some
other Internal fool"
"You are wrong, Charley" replied
Blaine. 81 wrote it and had The Trib-
une print it."-Washington Cor. Louis

Concise and Explicit.

Many stories, mostly fabrications,
have been told about long, diffuse tele-
graphic messages sent by women. as-if
the feminine mind were incapable of
expressing itself concjsely.
How false and slanderous such an
impression is is well shown by an in
cident reported by a contemporary. A
gentleman went to Paris on business.
AS he went away he said something to
his wife about buying her a new dress.
just before starting homeward he tele-
graphed to his wife, (which shall i.

THE HYPOCRITE.
How the Republican Administration til
Has CELEBRATED" the FilipinOs
and Others.

In his speech of acceptance of the re-
publican nomination for president Mr..
Mckinley spoke eloquently of the re-
cent achievement of his administration
in the Philippines, resulting in the lib
Grafton of 10, 100000 of the human fam
lily from the yoke of Imperialism
This would be a noble thought for
liberty-loving Americans, were it
based on fact. 1t was for just such an
achievement that 10000 of these lib
erty-loving Americans sprang to arms
in 1898 in response to the PRESIDENT S
call for volunteers for the war with
Spain. That war was declared for the
express purpose of freeing Cubans.
1t made an irresistible appeal to all
true Americans. 1t promised to pre-
sent to the world the grand spectacle
of mighty republic rushing to the res
cue of little people oppressed by tyr
amy, and, having freed them, straight
way lifting them to national inde-
pendence of their own.
Two years have passed since this
humanitarian war for service in which
these 100000 hberty-loving Americans
were so proud to volunteer, was fought
and won. In these two years Mr.. Nc
Kinley's administration has found time
and opportunity to do many things,
but it has found no time to free Cuba.
1t has, instead, established a carpet
bag government in Cuba which has de-
voted it's efforts to the looting of that
already sorely afflicted island. 1t has
used, and is still using, all its influence
to bring about the annexation of Cuba
to the United States. 1t declared in
1898 that the Cuban people were then,
and of right should be, free and in
dependent people. 1t says now that
they are not fit for freedom.
In Porto Rico there is an even more
shameful score charged up against Mr..
Mckinley and his imperial administra-

WHAT MR.. BRYAN SAYS.
A Point in the Democratic Platform
That Should Be Carefully
Considered.

"The Kansas City PLATFORM says
Mr.. Bryan, to the Nebraska democrat
ic convention, declared one issue to
be paramount. I want you to go home
and present this truth, that when a
government once abandons the doc
trine that it exists only by consent Of
the governed it can continue to live
only by brute force"
Every true friend and supporter of
the democratic candidate will do as
Mr.. Bryan wishes in the matter. No
body but the republicans, assistant re-
publicans, or those who for some rea-
son desire to divide and defeat the dem
ocratic party, will take the emphasis
from the paramount issue, to place it
on q secondary issue of little real
consequence or vitality in the present
campaign.
The place for every true and loyal
democrat at this crisis is to stand on
the democratic platform; accepting
as paramount the issue made para
mount by the march of events, and ac-
cepted as such Ly the democratic plat
form and the democratic candidates;
and declining to &c diverted or am
bushed by republican hushwhackers
anxious to prevent an attack on the
real weakness of the Mckinley citadel.

Fat Will Fry just the Same

1t will be just as we'll to receive with
caution statements emanating from
republican headquarters to the effect
that Mr.. Hanna is having difficulty in
operating his celebrated skillet this
year. No Cne doubts that the trust
benefciarias and protectees are thor
oughly swinish-that they are in
capable of gratitude to Mr.. Hanna
and Mr.. 1Ianna's man. They wouldn't
give up a cent from considerations of
gratitude. But they will disgorge for
their own protection. Democratic VIC
tory means trouble for the trusts and
woe for the tariff barons. 1t means
that the leeches who have fattened
upon the life blood of American in
dustry will be choked off. The leeches
know it. Mr. Hanna, therefore, will
conduct his fat-frying in the usual
fashion. He mcy have more difficulty
this year than in 1896, but he will in
the end extract the needed fat from
the adirosc tissue of the barons. The
'slush fund will attain its usual pro-
portions not because of the gratitude,
but because ii the fears, of the men
who have profited by McKinleyism.-

The small dealer who was driven out
of business by the gobbling trusts, or
who is so squeezed by the rapacious
monstrosities that he makes but a
scanty living will tell you that he is
going to vote against Mckinley.
Ask any of the men who have been
thrown out of employment by the
trusts whom they are going to vote for.
Ask any of the men who are aware
that they are being bled by the trusts
whom they are going to vote for
They are going to vote for Bryan.
They will tell you that they are very
sorry that they voted for Mckinley
four years ago.
The extraordinary growth and bold
ness of the trusts during the past four
years ago will make those injured and
affected vote for relief. These gigantic
combinations have gulped up the small
dealer; thrown vast numbers of peo-
pie out of employment, and the ma
jority of them are bleeding the people.

ton. The Porto Ricans welcomed with
open arms our army of invasion un-
der Gen. Miles. They accepted with
implicit ard pathetic faith that Off
GERS solemn pledge that they should
enjoy all the blessings of American
citizenship. They went around the
| streets of their towns of Ponce, of
Guayama, of Arroyo, of Santa Ysabel,
with pride almost childli- 9 in its in
genuousness, calling themselves
"Americanos." They celebrated in
their churches and cathedrals the
signing of the peace protocol of
August 12, 1898, which placed them
under the sovereignty of the Ameri-
can flag. And in return we have de-
MED to them their constitutional
rights as American citizens and have
levied infamous tribute upon them for
the further enrichment of our syndi-

When the people OF the Philippines
were fighting against the tyranny of
Spain we hailed their every victory
over the Spanish arms as victory OF
patriots enlisted in holy war for
freedom We treated them as allies
in our operations against Manila, and
we profted by their military coopera-
tion with our forces at that time. But
tie moment the full temptation Of
fered by the opportunity for the loot
ing of their country was realized by
us the Filipino soldiers ceased to be
patriots and became bandits, savage
Malays, cannibal head-hunters. Later,
when the recognized fact of our de-
termination to trick them out of the
freedom they had won from Spain be-
came apparent to them and forced
them to turn on us, we classed them
under the general name Of rebels 1t
was as rebels that we began killing
them, and it is as rebels that we are
