opportunities for observation are I'M

to note that one of these in writing
for a Berlin newspaper, says of the
Chinese that they "learn the ordinary
drill as quickly as Europeans. Their
shooting is good and not only with
the rifle. Thus man who afterward
was made an officer through me, was
told to fire at floating target with the
24-centimeter Krupp gun. After the
first four shots, every shot hit at a
distance of seven thousand metres.

war only small portion of the troops

There was much jealousy among the
viceroys, and the troops hardly trust

The Republicans are thoroughly
committed to the shipping bill now
pending in Congress. Commanding
the party's support, it is the only
measure that could be put through
Congress. Without proposing any
remedy for the lack of an American
merchant marine, the Democrats con-
tent themselves with merely opposing
the pending shipping bill.

The Democratic candidate for the
Presidency has persuaded the Popu-
lists, Democrats and Silver Repub-

short, he has formed political trust
for the express purpose of destroying
competition, yet stands on platform

are destructive to personal liberty
and dangerous to national life.

nunciamento to those opposed to
Organism and calling upon them to
vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt as
the surest way to put an end to the
Populist- Democratic theories whose
success would threaten the general
welfare of the people. General Palmer
is nothing if not consistent and in
this late expression of his opinion only
voices the convictions OF four years
ago. There are thousands of Demo-
Gratis of the Generals opinion who
will vote for Mckinley to put an end
to Organism.

The civil service reform plank and
the income tax plank and the calamity
plank and the anti-Supreme Court
plank were all omitted from the Kan
sas City platform. This makes the
structure so full of holes that some
vigorous patching must be done at
once or the candidates who try to
stand upon it will find themselves
falling through, much to the detri-
ment of both their shins and dignity.

1t will be remembered that Senator
Tillman, he of the pitchtork, helped
to write the Kansas City platform
which expresses such tender regard
for the rights, liberties and indepen-
dence of the brown man. But ON
the floor of the senate of the United
States this same Senator, while
speaking of the black man said with
pride:
''We stuffed ballot boxes, we shot
them; we are not shaamed of it. -
The Senator must be an expert on
the relation existing between the
shades of color and the degree of liber-
ty that the Democracy should portion
out to each.

decided, at meeting in Newark, on
Saturday, to leave to Chairman Gour-
ley the choice of an Advisory Com
mittee and permanent headquarters
for the campaign. The South Jersey
members expressed preference for
Jersey City as easier of access than
Newark. Twenty-Five of the twenty
five members of the committee were
at the meeting. 1t was decided to
urge all counties in the State to adopt
either the system of organization in
vogue in Essex county or that in Hud-

these systems are the most thorough
and complete for getting out the full
vote.

What is Mr.. Bryan's plan for the
disposition of the Philippines? The
only inference from his speeches is
that he would let loose fair promises
and honeyed words and on the
strength of these withdraw the Amer

What would prevent after withdrawal
of the American troops, the same hor-
rors in Manila that have visited
Pekin? What would become of tn,

Bryan would give absolute indepen-

course means that the flag shall be
furled and the army recalled. Will he
explain how this can be done? Is
there constitutional provision for
alternating American territory? Is
there constitutional argument against
acquiring territory; there are a dozen
against abandoning territory. The
Rebellion settled that question once
for all. AS we'll talk about abandon
ing Texas, Alaska, Kentucky or Ohio.
Methods of administration are legiti-
mate questions or party differences,

betray objectionable ignorance of the
