THIS YEARS ISSUES.
Republicans Are Fixing Up the
Whole Programme for the
Democrats.

There is something amusing about
the energy which republican leaoers
display in making the democratic plat
form for 1900.
Senator Aldrich, in his opening
speech on the gold bill, took great
pains to tell his hearers just what the
democratic issues were to be and exact
~ what the republicans were going TO
do about it.
This is harmless sort of diversion
for the republicans, and if they enjoy
it it is quite as well that they should
keep up the farce indefinitely.
One thing is certain, however, and
that is the republicans cannot make is
sues and force the democrats to assume
responsibility for them.
In the first place the democrats are
quite able to choose their own ground,
and in the second place it is too early
yet to set squadrons in the field for
a battle which will not open before
June or July next.
OF course the republicans would like
to choose issues. They would be
pleased to put trusts, Imperialism and
administration blunders of all kinds in
the background and get up contest
over questions suggested by themselves
and on which they think they could win
the fight.
There will be many issues before the
people in the campaign of 1900. The
democrats will not look to the opposi-
ton for selection of those issues, and
" Senator Aldrich has wasted his breath
in attempting to tell in advance what
the democratic party is going to do.
Let the able republican senator pos
sess his soul in patience. In good time
he will know what issues will be taken
up by the democrats and he can be as.
sured that they will be of character
to interest the people and to make it
lively for the Chicago
Democrat.

Bull Whipped by a Sow

A rather unusual battle occurred on
the farm of James A. Bill, at Lyme, on
Saturday last. A winning Devon
bull owned by Mr.. Bill had been out
to pasture for some time, and in his
solitude had come to look upon himself
as monarch of all he surveyed. On Sat
urday last Mr.. Bill turned into the
same lot q sow that has also won
prizes for beauty at many of the fairs
held in the state. No one had hitherto
suspected her possessing fighting quail
tiles, and it was not until brought to
test that she developed her most re-
markable traits.
The big Devon bull resented the ap-
proach of the sow, and almost at once
proceeded to attack her. The SOW at
first was inclined to run, but as there
was no place to escape, she turned
about and faced her assailant. When
the bull made a charge Kansas Bill
and one of the farm hands who saw
the combat expected to see the SOW
swept into the next field. When almost
upon her the SOW shuffled quickly to
one side and planted her teeth in the
jaws Of the bull, who shook her off
and made a second attack almost i'm
mediately. Again did the SOW pursue
the same tactics and succeeded in get
ting even better hold. When the bull
finally shook her off there was blood
on his neck and jaws and he was en-
ragged to the point of madness. The
| bull continued the attack, but could moi
manage to gore the S ow, which
fought much as bulldog would, de.
| pending chiefly on her teeth to do dam
age. The combat lasted for fully ten
minutes. when the bull, covered with
blood, ran to the furthest corner of the
field and remained there for the res,
of the day. 1t was with difficulty that
he was driven home that night. The
SOW was not much injured in the fight

The recent exposure OF steals by the
printer and binder, demonstrated by
prices paid by the state board of con-
troll as compared with prices demand
ed for the same work by the state
chosen printer and binder, had the
effect to defeat the election of the
men slated for these offices. On a
small job for the board of control, let
to the lowest bidder, the state saved
Sl37, and for the stitching and bind
ing over 5000. The State REGISTER
which in the past had it's arms in the
public treasury to its shoulders, now
has the frankness to say, ''that those
who have knowledge of printing and
binding know that the state can save
one half or more Of the present cost,
and at the same time have the work
as promptly and we'll performed as if
it was under the charge of state
printer and binder" The demonstra-
tion of these facts to the legis-
lature put the entire democratic rep
resentation in both branches of the
legislature in opposition to the cleo
tion of these officers, and to letting
this class of work to the lowest re-
sponsible bidder, and there were en-
ough republicans joined them to pre-
vent the election of state printer,
and state binder OF course our
senator Lyons was with opponents of
job for some partizan favorite who
had fought, bled and died" for the
party, and all credit is due to the re-
publican legislators who united with
him and with the other democrats in
defeating this scheme to plumber the
public to pay for partizan service.

Bryan on The pbi,,nn,ne..

Il have for one year been discussing
imperialism, and have tried to dis
tinguish between such an extension
of the nations limits as would not
change the character of the govern
ment and an expansion which converts
q homogeneous republic into hetero-
geneous empire. When the annexation
of any given territory is under con-
sideration the question is whether the
people want to come in, and, second,
whether the people are capable of shar-
this nation. / believe that all people
are capable of governing themselves,
and that the Filipinos should be al
lowed to govern themselves, but
don't think that they are sufficiently
advanced to share with us the gov
eminent of the nation. If the Philip
pine islands are annexed the people
there must either become citizens or
subjects. am not willing to admit
them as citizens, and do not believe
that a republic can have subjects;
therefore I want this nation to give
them independence and then protect
them from outside interference. Each
proposed annexation must be consid-
cred on its own merits. but in consider
ing these merits the condition of the
people should have more weight than
geographical position or commercial
adyantage."-W j. Bryan.
