siberian railroad. This was In the
height OF the panic Of 1893, but the
scheme was such big one that the
editors consented to its expense at
once, and in 1894 Carpenter left Van
couver for Japan. He travelled for
about year at this time in the above
countries inspecting the armies. the
gun works and getting material which
was of immense value to his papers
in the Chinese-Japanese war, which
broke out during his absence. While
in Japan he had an interview with
Count Ito, the premier and adviser
of the mikado. in which he predicted
that the war would take place.

Journey of year around and about

States, with the exception Of little
trip to Puerto Rico, which was made
during the past summer. ~
His present journey includes the
Philippine islands, japan, China,

are in the year 1900.
The letters will begin about the
first Sunday in February and will run
regularly every Sunday, unless the
correspondent should be held up by
the sayages Of the Philippines, for one
year. Outside of the news value of
the letters is their instructive and
educational value. Mr.. Carpenter
paints things so you can see them.
His letters of travel. In addition to
their vital interest. are wonderfully
instructive. His Geographical Read

both for himself and his children. can
afford to miss these letters.

In the meantime his income from
his writings had steadily risen. He
was doing some magazine work, writ
ing editorial page gossip for the New
York World. and his letters for the
American Press. when he decided to
throw up his engagements and make
trip around the world. In this trip
he was accompanied by his wife. He
left San Francisco for Japan, went
thence to China and the Chinese wall,
and then south to Siam, Burmah, In
dia, Egypt, Turkey and Europe. The
journey consumed over a year. and
during it Mr.. Carpenter wrote letters
to his combination of American news

Cosmopolitan Magazine. He had many
remarkable experiences, seeing the
sultan of Turkey, having an audience
with the king of Korea. long inter-

BRYAN WILL Be BRYAN.

When the political issues are all
boiled down to their ultimate essence
ut will be found that silverism will be
the main feature of the democratic
platform. 1t may be disguised but its
success will be as much of menace as
ever. Bryan will be Bryan, and thru
and thru he his committed to this issue.
In discussing this and other points the
keokuk Gate City presents facts that
are worth considering:
Mr.. Bryan has been asked to forecast
the substance of the democratic plat
form. His reply only confirms the con-
Nictions of those who have studied the
situation. While he does not make
reference to the silver issue. his asser-
tlqns tends to show that the issues set
forth will be as radical and populistic
as they We're four years ago.
He concludes that, as the majority
OF the state platforms have declared in
favor of the Chicago platform, that the
convention Will not depart Very far
from its main principles. The party
will also oppose imperialism" AS the
silver issue WAS the main one of the
Chicago screed. it seems that 1t will be
impossible to put it into the back
ground
After all. the Chicago platform with

smelling affair. Bryan will be Bryan,

II implies low state mentality, when
one admits that he thinks any nation

ratio at which the metals should be
coined regardless of the value, which
lis based upon the possible supply.
