FAITH IN THE GERMANS.

This talk of the Germans deserving
the gold standard and supporting Bry-
an with his free silver heresies, simply
on account of the alleged imperialistic
policy OF the administration, is all
bosh. The German people stood like a
rock, they were veritable stone wall
four years ago, and they absolutely re-
fused to let anyone tamper with the
stability OF our system of government
by debasing our currency. The Ger
mans are free to criticise, which is
their right, but they are above all
things, patriotic; they are good BUSH
ness men, and as such they know full
well the disastrous results which
would follow Bryan's election, desp' tie
the statements emanating from Demo
cratic sources that Republican SEN
ate could defeat free silver by blocking
legislation OF such a character
The hue and cry raised about mill
tarism will fall fat long before the
campaign is well under way. When
comparisons are made between the
army of the United States and that of
other countries, and the percentage OF
the population involved is plainly cited
the claims of our Democratic brethren
will be nullified by force of their own
argument The president has said that
this country will never strike blow
for the acquisition Of territory, but will
defend the American citizen, and
his rights in any part OF the
world When the people discov,
er that fewer than / per cent of the
population of this nation is represent
ed in the army, the milltarism scare
will prove bugaboo and react against
the Democracy.

Ep1GRAMs OF COL. GRUBER.

Colonel ABE" Gruber was the prin-
cipal speaker at the noon meeting held
the other day in New York City under
the auspices of the Commercial Travel
ers' Mckinley and Roosevelt club.
These are some of the things Colonel
Gruber said: THE Republican party
has crucifled the silver heresy and put
upon labor a crown of employment and
good wages.
THE eccentric political economy OF
Bryan could thrive somewhat four
years ago, when times were really bad.
Since then experience has demon
strated the unwisdom and time has
covered it with mildew and death. A
sick man will try patent medicine
which healthy man would not look
at. =
We cannot place confidence in a po-
litical party which every four years has
new paramount issue, like the store
Keeper who has new bargains. The
Democratic party would give us a
cheap necktie in the hope OF making US
pay dear for suit of clothes
In 1892 the people went on poll
tlcal jamboree. In 1896 they took for
their nerves a Republican bromo-
seltzer. 1t cured them and they don't
intend to get drunk again.
1t is said that Bryan should get our
votes because he has the courage of his
convictions. If he still believes in 16
10 l he is mentally unfit to be Presi-
dent.
Mr.. Bryan does not believe in BIZ
metallism. He believes in depreci-
ated dollar. He would have six inches
make one foot, one and a half feet one
yard, and one pint equal quart"
when Mr.. Gruber mentioned Mr.
oroker half dozen voices cheered.
That's right" said the orator, "al-
ways put nice things on mans tomb
stone"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. rs 1T.

Imperialism may serve as a cam
palgn scarecrow, but before the harvest
or votes is garnered next November,
the people will recognize that 1t Is but
thing Of straw.
Imperialism presupposes an empire,
and the magnificent domain over
which our banner flies Is imperial In
us beauty, In its products and in its
extent Such wealth Of hill, noun
tain, plain and prairie, such an abund-
ance OF crystal lakes and such net
work Of commerce-bearing rivers were
never before bestowed upon any pao
pie. Every state is an empire; every
county is principally, for which, as
true Americans, we are proud, and for
which, as Christians, recognizing God
as the God of nations, we should be
deeply grateful
Imperialism, IL It means anything
the Democracy would have the peop'e
believe, implies an emperor, dynas y
throne, a crown and scepter. This
feature of Imperialism, by no stretch
of partisan Misrepresentation. can evee
be charged against our candidate for
the presidency He was the choice of
the people: he was honestly elected in
so loath to oppose the will of the peo-
Pile, as expressed by legislation enacted
by congress, that in the four years of
his administration he has vetoed but
four bills. He will serve his two terms
as many other good presidents, both
Democratic and Republican, have done
and will then give way to his success
sor, chosen as he was chosen. by the
free votes of a sovereign people
The partisan accusation of imperial.
ism, when translated into plain every
day English, in the light of the history
made during the brilliant adminlstra
ton of President Mckinley. is simply
this: The Republicans declare that /
is their policy not TO blindly abandon
the islands transferred from Spanish
to American sovereignty by the treat
of Paris. The Democracy, so far as i
has policy. would have the master
nation builder of the world abandon it
plain duty, furl our triumphant fig
and hunt an easy future rather than .
working future. Puerto Rico. recog
niEing the fact that she cannot stand
alone, does not wish to become an in
dependent power, and the only thin
possible is for the United States to
continue its sovereignty, which is Re
publican, or to invite Spain to re-snt r.
the western hemisphere and commenc"
anew her policy of misrule, Of robbery
and extortion from which we have de-
livered Cuba.
The same is as true of the Philip
pines as of Puerto Rico. Will the Dem
ocrats dare to fix date for the evac-
uation of either? They are under the
flag of the republic and there they will
remain.
The people will learn that imperial
ism, as employed by the Democrats
means that they would have the coun
try shirk its duty, turn It's back on
destiny, count all bloodshed as lost
furl the flag and withdraw its protec
ton from people who need it today
more than ever before in all their his
tory
The charge of imperialism, when
properly translated, means duty And
the party OF Lincoln. ofsIrant, of Har-
rison. and OF Mckinley, is willing to
lie charged with doing its duty no mat
ter how hard that duty may be.

Joseph Forth Dies Under Suspicious
Circumstances.

Cloquet, Mimi, Aug. 26.-Joseph For
tin was removed from an Eastern Min
nesota railway train in a crazed con-
dition. He was taken to the village
jail and medical attendance provided,
but it was of no avail as he died.
Forth was sent to Stony Brook by the
Western Employment Agency Of Min
neapolis to work for o. w. Erickson,
contractor on the new cutoff Of the
Great Northern line. There is a sus-
picion of foul play at Stony Brook, as
there is an alleged "blind pig there
which is reputed to have caused con-
siderable trouble. The remains are be-
Ing cared for pending the arrival OF
relatives, who have been notified. 1t
Is probable that an inquest will be held.

WHERE THE CHARGES COME

The Beacon Light, Populist paper
published at Yankton, makes the fol
lowing pointed remark regarding the
ropulist superintendent Of the Insane
Asylum at Yankton:

hoss beastly drunk the evening fol-
lowing the convention, il he had is

BRYANIsM A NERVOUS DISEASE.

Is Organism political faith, or is it
a disorder like nervous prostration, for
which time and a proper exercise OF
the will are the only certain cure? We
should like to believe that it Is the
former, because If 1t were political
faith it would involve sincerity of pur-
pose, decent regard for the facts of
history, lofty concern for the welfare
and honor of the country, and loyal
adherence to some principle of govern
ment concerning which sane men may
reasonably differ. Stripped of its
eccentricities, if it were truly matter
Of conviction with its followers, there
would still be something left in its es-
sential qualities concerning which
even its opponents would have to ad-
nit the value. There would be some
thing in its creed to save 1t from utter
and everlasting condemnation by the
earnest mind seeking honestly for
solution of existing political problems.
How does Organism stand such test
as this? Stripped of its vagaries, what
is the residuum that men of a normal
condition of mind can possibly claim
to represent any sterling principle,
which should become a potential fac
tor in the administration of the affairs
of the United States? 1t would require
a genius greater than that of Sherlock
Holmes to find it, The eye that could
detect the needle in the hay stack
would be powerless to ferret out III S
saving quality, and for the simple rea
son that it does not exist.-Harpers

BRYAN AND CICERO-AN OBJECT
LESSON,

To the Editor of the New York Sun:
Organism and the bane it imples-an
unsound monetary basis-had it's pro-
totpye in ancient Rome. 1t fou-is .ei
under the republic and its natural eff
feet is wildly set forth in dozen
clean-cut words by Tully in book III,
chapter 20 of the instructions to his son
Mark: "Jactabatur enim temporibus
Ills nummus sic, ut memo posset scire,
quid haberet" Cat that period the
value and rate of money had become so
inconstant that nobody could be GER
tain how much he was WORTH
Our informant goes on to say that by
common consent of the Tribunes and
the Praetors an edict was passed es-
tablishing a just ratio and appointing
a penalty for transgression.
We are left in conjecture as to the
adequacy of the edict to remedy the
evil with which the Roman govern
ment was obliged to cope because it
had permitted itself to become inocu-
lated with Organism.
AS to the case before our voters this
fall the old saw applies: AN ounce OF
prevention" etc.
Let those infatuated with the pet
scheme of their political Nebraska
Moses make pause and reflect that like
causes produce like results. In all ages
the world over. Let them desist from
further efforts to inflict on our coun-
try debased currency, Of which, IL es-
tablished, no man may foresee the dire
and far-reaching consequences.
