A DOLLAR APIECE.
AEr. Bryan Talks of the Cost of Standing
Army OF 1OO,OOO-RepubIIcan Prom
Isa to the Filipino.

Auburn, n. Y, Oct. zO.-Mr. Bryan's
first stop Friday was made at Solvay,
a suburb of Syracuse, where he spoke
briefly to several hundred people con-
gregated at the railroad station. He
again referred to the increase in the
size of the standing army, and said
that upon the present basis of 1OO, 900
soldiers, the expense to the country
would be not less than $75, O00,OoO a
year for the military establishment
or an average of 81 for each individ-
ual or S. for each family. Taking up
the Philippine question, Mr.. Bryan
said that the republican party was
promising ito be good to the Fill
pino.' THAT" he said, sis what every
king promises to his subjects
At Ithaca, Mr.. Bryan was given a
hearty greeting when he appeared on
the speakers stand. He was met by
a solid mass of Cornell university
students, who greeted him with the
college yell. The speaking took place
in front of the high school building.
From one of the windows directly
over the stand some girls lowered a
picture of President Mckinley. This
action caused mixed howl among the
students, some of them approving
and others condemning. After the
picture hung out for perhaps five min
utes the young women were prevailed
upon to remove it.

Some time afterward Japan sent word
that the three ports mentioned were agreed

Whereupon the French officials collapsed.

THE PRESIDENT THANKED.
the Emperor of ChIna-UncIe Sam
Holding Money.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Minister WI
called upon the president Wednesday
and conveyed a message from the en-
peror of China, thanking President
Mckinley for the consideration shown
by the United States during the Chi
nese trouble. The minister also
brought dispatches from Shanghai
from the southern viceroys, stating
that the imperial party had reached
Tung Kuan, only a few miles from
Sinan Flu, the new capital. Referring
to the report from Pekin that the
edict for the punishment of certain
officials had been forged, Minister WI
said such a story was preposterous and
should receive no credence whatever.
The advices received by Minister WI
gave no Indication of a purpose on the
part of the royal family to return to
Pelkin, although there is reason to be-
lieve that efforts continue to be made
to induce the emperor to return to
the capital.

HANNAIsM ONCE MORE APPARENT.

HANNAISM ONCE MORE APPARENT.
After all the loud threats of Hon. w.
H. Eustis and his friends, the Republican
state central committee has decided to
condone the crime of 1895 and not reduce
the representation of those counties that
gave Mr.. Eustis less than the vote he
expected by adopting that vote as the
basis of representation, to the next state
convention. The basis will not be the
basting of Mr. Eustis, but the vote for
Mckinley in 1896
Thus has the Republican state commit
tee turned a GOLD shoulder to the Blaine
of Minnesota, and 1.-THE great revenge
has gone glimmering. He will not be al
lowed to get even with any one before
election day, when he will enjoy the in
alienable right of voting just as it pleases
him
The result of this contention is not I'm
expected. The influence Of Senator Mar
Gus A Hanna in Minnesota politics was
paramount in 1896, and 1t will be the rul-
ing influence this year Of grace, l9Oo. Inc
wishes or desires of Mr.. Eustis and his
friends are a very small factor when COM
pared with the vast preponderance OF the
director of the great national Republican
machine The Republicans Of Minnesota
are but cog in his big wheel, and their
personal likes and dislikes cut no figure
at all-except at the polls, where, thanks
to the constitution, the people will have
their say.
The disregard of precedent by the Re
publican state committee is in effect
severe reproof to Mr.. Eustis and the peo-
pie who forced his nomination upon the
party in 1898 He was heralded as the
only clean, intellectual gentleman in the
Republican party, and throughout the
campaign the whole talk was of his per-
sonal and political purity and high stand
ing And now the state committee de-
cides that the Republican votes cast for
that candidate under such conditions shall
not be the basis upon which the next state
convention shall be constituted, but that
the basis shall be that fixed by Mark
Hanna.
1t is not for Democrats to point out
the mistakes of the Republican party for
the purpose of having them corrected.
That would be stretching magnanimity
too far; but 1t may be safely said that in
thus adopting the Hanna basis for It's
state convention the Republican state
committee has inaugurated another cam
paign of blunders which will cost the par
ty something more than the governorship
next November. The people will not be
buncoed as they were in 1896 by counter
felt political Issues, and no hurrah and
flat-car oratory will persuade the voters
to vote straight ticket at the dictate Of
any boss next November.

WHO Is PLATTs

Gov. Roosevelt has declined to be
candidate for his party's nomination for
the office of vice president of the United
States. Having stated what he is pleased
to call his reasons for the decision, he
adds complacently: "And I am happy
to say that Senator Plat acquiesces in
my view of this NATTER And why
Senator Platt's acquiescence? And why
should Senator Platt's acquiescence, any
more than that Of any other citizen Of
the state, or, to put 1t more strongly, any
other important politician or number Of
politicians of the state, produce feel
ing of happiness In the governors stren>
uous nature?
Why? Well, Gov. Roosevelt cannot, IL
is fair to be assumed, think himself at
liberty to say why. But any ordinarily
careful observer of the progress of events
in the political life of New York will not
find the true answer to the inquiry at all
difficult
Who is Senator Plat? What relation
nominations of his party? What rela-
ton does he bear to the public life of
the state of which Mr.. Roosevelt Is the
governor?
There have been many events of a pub
lie nature during the past year or so,
which furnish the answers to these lat.
ter questions Mr.. Plat is the owner
and holder, for instance, of the state leg
islature What that body will do, and
what it will not, in given contingency,
or in connection with a given measure
of legislation, Mr.. Platt is In the habit
of stating with great freedom. For<in>
stance, he has told the world that the
state constabulary bill, which was de.
cided upon as measure through which
Tammany would be dished in it's control
of the police force of the big city, would
not become a law And it didn't. But
he intended it should. Circumstances.
however, led him to believe, for pruden>
tial reasons, that it should not. And so
he decreed that it should not, as he had
previously decreed that it should; and
his latter decree went, as his former ono
would have had he thought proper to adj
here to 1t.
1t was this same gentleman who has
recently made the strenuous Roosevelt
happy that controlled the hidden springs
of the Ramapo robbery Of $50, 600, 600. and
who rendered abortive the work of the
Mazet committee when the counsel Of
that committee INDUCED himself In the
pleasing belief that he would be per-
mitted to subpoena him. 1t Ia he who
Is accepted by the people of his state
and, indeed, by all well-informed students
of American contemporary politics, as the

whom this same governor has been run

fasting and dining with him, whenever
any measure in which he or his friends
were interested was about to be SUBJ
