WHAT MRS. LEASE SAYS.

Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease, who has
probably given the Republican party
as many hard blows as any Popullst In
the country, is now devoting her at
tention to the Bryanites. Speaking re
Gently OF the Kansas City convention,
she said:
1T was a spectacular, hollow, noisy.
deceptive farce, begun or the annlver-
sary OF the nations freedom, and Il
can scarcely be credited by those re-
moved from It. A carefully planned
program Of Juggling with patriotic
symbols and patriotic aphorisms for
the purpose OF hoodwinking the public
was the program for the first day.
Promises Of reform coming from such
representatives are like sounding
brass and tinkling cymbals.'
THE Infamous Goebel election Law
Of Kentucky, to the enactment and en-
forcement Of which Mr.. Bryan dedi-
Gated his borrowed oratory; the bull
pen horrors among the men OF Idaho,
under the control OF n Bryan Demo
cratic governor; the street railway
strike In st. Louis, that has kept the
city in q state of war for three months
and resulted in the slaughter Of in
nocent men, women and children; the
~unspeakable and continued system Of
plumber perpetrated by Democrats in
the great city Of New York, and the
representation in this convention OF
the most higb-handed municipal rob-
bers and corrupt and thieving politi-
clans, indicate accurately the quantity
and quality of reform which the peo-
pie may expect from this sort OF De-
mocracy.
Their whole record and the every
act and detail Of that record are black
with wrong, reeking with dishonesty
and CARRIED in treason.
THE cheap bust OF bryan sent up to
the platform and unveiled and turned
to the four po&1tn oil the compass was
the most l%aughable exposition Of the
Bryan vanity since William Jennings,
Jr., was sent out to the world holding
a young fowl. That prolonged ovation
given to David Bennett Hill was a
serpent in the Bryan paradise of De.
mocracy."

GHOSTS" AND DEAD ISSUES"

The Manufacturers Record OF Bali
more, the great trade paper Of the
south and the chief exponent of the in.
dustrial development OF that section,
sends out on a postal card what II
suggests as "a Platform for the Pro-
gressive South" MS follows:
Whereas, In the course Of American
politics the south has reached tho
point where foolhardiness will mean
loss and decay, while common s.nss
will meal prosperity and progress;
therefore, be 1t.
Resolved, That the progressive south
Is opposed to dead issues; that II Is
not afraid of ghosts, and that 1t is not
looking backward.
Resolved. That the south Is oppose l
to men and measures appealing to ig-
%norance, passion and prejudice, that
tend TO array class against class. and
that a present no more practical Tea-
son for their support than the desire
and purpose Of individuals to retain or
gain public Office.
Resolved, That the south favors the
politics that will encourage and pro-
tect investments within It's borders,
will raise more chimneystacks OF m lis
and furnaces, will strengthen and ex-
tend railway systems, will open more
mines, will widen the markets for agrl-
cultural and manufactured products
and will increase the means and oppor-
tunities for placing those products in
the markets.

EXPECTED A BATTLE.

Shanghai Looked for an Engage
mcnt Sunday.
London, Aug. A news agency
dispatch from Shanghai today says:
"A battle is expected Sunday be-.
tween the allies and General Mas TO-.
600 Chinese Mt Yung Tsun. The Rus.
sian and French contingents are
guarding the communications of the
Americans, British and japanese, who
form the advancing column"
The dispatch says a message from
Peking on the 21st was received, du-
plicating in part one sent by a diff.
ferent route, but adding military in
formation. The British, American,
Russian and German legations had
provisions barely sufficient for four
teer. days, and their ammunition is
short. The ministers have again re-
iected the proposal of the Chinese
government that they leave Peking
under escort of Chinese troops.
A courier from the japanese lega-
ton brings a dispatch dated the 23d,
saying that but five days provisions
were left and but twenty-five rounds
Of ammunition for each man.
British Consul Frazier and the for
eign community are leaving Chung
King. in consequence of an official
warning from Shanghai. There is 10
trouble in Chung King now, or in any
part of the province, but disturbances
are expected when the allies reach
Picking.

Am nENTANaLrNa ALLIANcE."

The Kansas City platform Is en-
phatic In it's opposition to what it calls
"militarism." II says that "militar-
ism" will Impose upon our ~peace-lov-
ing people a large standing army, an
unnecessary burden Of taxation, and
a constant menace to their liberties. :"
These sentiments are concurred In fully
by Mr.. Bryan, who undoubtedly will
have much to say about this subject
during the campaign.
But should Mr.. Bryan, IL elected, put
In operation that Filipino policy which
is set forth In the platform of his party
ADD which he indorses unreservedly, he
will have to resort soone OF later to
that ~"militarism" which the Kansas
City platform calls 1.-The strong arm
which has ever been fatal to free In
stitutioDs." He will have to abandon
one OF the essential features of his
Philippine policy or ask for a larger
standing army than this ~administra-
ton has asked for, and impose on the
people for military purposes Il heavier
burden OF taxation than they are bear
Ing now.
That policy is the establishment of
a stable form of government for the
Fflipinos-really OF two or more gov
ernments, for the Moros in the Sulu
Islands would have to be given a gov
eminent Of their own-then the gift
OF independence to the Filipino gov
eminent or governments; and, finally,
protection from outside interference.
Inasmuch as not even the most adj
vanced Filipinos are able to maintain
a stable government, 1t would be but
a short time before European govern
ments were complaining, often with
good cause, of wrongs inflicted on their
subjects. They would demand redress
and would proceed to exact II. Then 1t
would be necessary for the United
States, acting as protector of the Fill
pinos, either to intervene In their af-
fairs, remodel their stable govern
ment," ana force them to behave them
selves. which would need an army, or
to take up the cudgels for them and
fight In their behalf against whatever
powers are making wal on them. Then
1t would, indeed, be necessary to raise
large armies and send out great fleets.

after the disappearance of the jewel
Mr.. Wood sent a bcdstead to n second
hand store to be sold. A farmer named
Merriam, living several miles from
Madison, was the purchaser. The bed
stead was taken to his home and
placed in position for use.
The other day a brilliant object IN
a crack of the panel of the bcdstead
attracted the attention of Mrs. Mer-
riam. and, plucking it out, it proved
TO be a diamond ring. The Mcrriams,

BRYAN's CABINET ADVISERS.

Senator Lodge asks a pertinent ques-
ton when he asks where Bryan, IL
elected, will get q cabinet. Mr.. Bryan
is bigger than his party. He will not,
II elected, be controlled by the advice
OF the men who have been the leaders
Of the Democratic party In picking out
his Constitutional advisers" Mr..
Cleveland was as unwilling to take ad.
vice as Mr.. Bryan would be, IL presl-
dent. But Mr.. Cleveland called into
his cabinet such men as Gresham,
Olney, and Carlisle. Mr.. Bryan would
not select men OF equal ability and
character. Senator Lodge says: Look
over the roll OF the Kansas City con-
vention and point out to me a secre-
tary OF state whom you would be will
ing to intrust with the settlement OF
these Chinese questions. Run your
eye over the list again and tell ne
where, among the Altgelds and the
Suffers, you will find a secretary OF tbs
treasury. Look at the Sioux Falls col
lection and tell me whether o want
Pettigrew in the navy department and
Allen at the head of the war depart
ment. They have all got to be recog-
nlZed. 1hese are practical questions.
These are, indeed, the men whom Mr..
Bryan would choose to aid him In adj
mlnistering the affairs Of the nation.
In the Altgelds and the Aliens he would
would recognize kindred spirits. There
is no form of political or economic
lunacy with which he is afflicted with
which they are not afflicted also. The
government, II intrusted to men OF this
stamp, would be carried on in a fash
ion indicating that the people of the
United States id not have decent re-
spect to the opinions of mankind" It's
foreign policy would be shifty and
cowardly. It's domestic policy would
be turbulent and destructive. II GER
tainly would not dream OF suppressing
anarchy in China, for it would be busy
encouraging anarchy at home.

POINTS FOR LITTLE AMERICANS.

From a speech In Tama, Iowa, by
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson en-
July "a. He spoke at considerable
length, largely on expansion. He rN-
viewed the Spanish wal and the events
Immediately succeeding It. He said
Dewey was driven out of Hongkong at
the outbreak of the war. and compell-
ed to take Manila because "the United
States did not own a hitching post In
the China seas to which to moo a yes
sell" He held that the instruction In
the Philippines had been practically
put down.
Those events" he continued, have
added a Dew issue this fall-the ques-
ton Of expansion. Little Americans
will get frightened at the growth of
the nation and make opposition. Pol
~iticlans In desperation for an issue will
call ~expansicp imperialism. An i'm
perialist Is a ruler who Is not restrain
ed by any division Of authority or
written constitution China Is ruled
that way. Countries that have indie
pendent lawmakers and Independent
courts like ours have nothing to fear
from Imperialism.

gents proposed imperialism to begin
with. The dirk OF the assassin is
chief executor In such a government,
and Aguinaldo set IL at work.
1T is a very high privilege to be I'M
der the American flag on any terms,
and we will oon hear from other ISL
ands that are contiguous, but not uo-
der our dag. Cuba, independent, will
not have the privileges that Puerto Ri
co has.
THE United States has become one
Of the great world powers and cannot
indulge in uuderhand diplomacy. We
are making a reputation in the line of
straightforward dealing with other ma
lions.
I'VE have distressing conditions in
China. Our legations are In danger
beyond help. Our missionaries and
merchants have been massacred and
to what extent outrages have been per-
petrated Is not known. We seek moth

peoples must learn that the United
States will protect its citizens In all
lands In the future, and whoever in
lures any OF them or their property
will be held to a strict reckoning"

DIR EN-

Charlie Towne, too, has begun to
talk through his hat. In a speech at
Lincoln, Neb., the other day, he said:
THE republic is in danger. Already
we are In the very shadow of empire"
We are, indeed. The empire Is all
around US, overhead, underfoot; ii
stretches from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc; 1t embraces forty-five states and
several territories. Old Rome at the
pinnacle OF his power was a baby by
comparison. We are going On from
conquest to conquest. Last year we
took from the outside world more clear
money in trade than had been taken
during the first 10 years Of the repub-
lie. We are not only an empire, but
our people are all sovereigns, every
last one OF them. Mr.. Bryan demon
strated this when he dictated a plat
form to his party and said: You ac-
cept that nov or | will break up the
game" Our country has about half
the railroad trackage OF the world. Ii
has only a few men short OF a million
that work and handle those railroads
1t has 5000, 900 farms, every one of
which is possessed by a sovereign. The
same sovereign power mas stretched
free schools from Maine to California,
and the songs Of children every day
are imperial in their melody. The
mines are giving up a thousand mil
lions OF dollars q year. The world de-
ponds upon the southern states for
textiles, upon the northern and west
ern states for food. The shadow OF
empire is upon us sure enough. But il
Mr.. Towne thinks that because OF all
that this republic is In danger, or that
there Is anyone in the republic who
would like to change the majestic pro-
gram, then he is talking through his
hat, and he must every night do pen
for making such a precious ass of
himself by day.

MALICE OR

Hon. James Hamilton Lewis, late
vice presidential candidate and author
lied representative OF the Bryanites In
the Puget sound region, is the first to
break loose from the tentative policy
OF the Democratic leaders and openly
attempt to manufacture political capt.
tai out OF the present lamentable state
Of affairs In China. Mr.. Lewis says:
II charge the Chinese outrages upoa
Americans directly upon the head of
the Republican administration. 1t IS
the direct result OF the announcement
made by this government, through It's
different spokesman, that the United
States Intended to enter into the d.
vision Of China, participating in its
distribution, and maintain spheres Of
influence"
1t will be observed that In order to
make his point the Washington politi-
clan has had to indulge In what would
seem to be nothing less than deliberate
misrepresentation.
AS to the administration itself. we
have had numerous direct ~disayowals
Of any intent to take part In or encour
age the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of China. Es-
pecial pains have been taken to give
all foreign nations interested in China
to understand that all the moral force
of the United States would be thrown
against any such movement. For a d.
rect representation to this effect we
have only to refer to the formal note
addressed to the powers by Secretary
Hay less than a fortnight ago, plainly
setting forth the attitude to be assum-
cd by this country In regard to the flu
ture OF China. The most significant
paragraph in this communication was
follows:
"The policy OF the government Is to
seek a solution which may bring about
permanent safety and peace to China
and preserve Chinese territorial AMI
entity, protect all
guaranteed friendly powers by
and international law, the safe
guard for the world principle of equal
and impartial trade with all parts OF
the Chinese empire"
