A CHEAP POLITICAL TRICK.
Ex-Governor stone on the yoidnbIc
Contracts.

NEW YORK. Sept. 28.-Ex-G Governor
Stone. in charge of Democratic national
headquarters. gave out the following state
ment today:
Among other arts political which Re-
publican journals are now practicing on
the unsophisticated public is the publiea-
tion of contracts in which certain con-
tractors are said TO have inserted pro-
vision that the agreement is to be void
if Bryan is elected. or course every per-
son with an ounce of common sense knows
that this is only a political trick. 1t is a
cheap and scurvy trick withal. There is
evidently a despicable purpose on the part
of the Republican managers and their
abettors to reproduce the foolish fright
which they succeeded in producing to a
considerable extent among business men in
1896 1t was absurd then; il is doubIy so
now.
Look at the absurdity OF the following
case: Here is a New Haven carriage COM
pany which claims to have made contract
with responsible firm to furnish il with
a certain number of carriages at certain
price at stated periods up TO October. 1901.
In this contract 1t is said that the seller
insisted on inserting provision multiplying
the contract in the event of Bryan's cleo
tion. although sold at profitable and sat
isfactory price. Why?
Would the election of Mr. Bryan in
crease the cost Of producing the car
riages? In other words, would his cleo
tion Increase the cost of raw material OF
the wages of workmen? II so. would not
that be a good thing for the country? If.
on the other hand, Bryan's election would
decrease the cost of material and the
wages of workmen, that would increase
the profits of the carriage company on
the contract, and would be n good thing
for the company. In either such a bro
vision in the contract is indefensihle.
IF such a contract was ever made II
was to be published for political effect
II is one of the means resorted TO to ex-
cite and alarm the unthinking. This kind
OF thing is as contemplate as II is rem
rehensible.
''Mr Bryan Is a man of high character
integrity, and ability. Everybody be-
lieYes him to be man of high ideas. He
does not wish to harm the country. but to
serve 1t faithfully. One may not agree

with him in all things, but his honesty
OF purpose is beyond question. AT least
half the American people will support his
candidacy, among those being many of
the most eminent and conservative men
of the country, and if elected he would
be a conservative and broad-gauged Exec
utive. Whatever he might do would be
carefully and thoughtfully done. so as to
produce the greatest good and the least
harm The election of such a man to the
Presidency cannot presage disaster to the
substantial and Legitimate Interests OF the
country The panic-breeders should be
treated as public enemies. They repre-
sent the very worst element in the COM
mercial and industrial life of the nation"

THE GERMAN NOTE A FAILURE.

LONDON, Sept. 29.-The Daily News "
Berlin correspondent declares that there
is a feeling of pessimism there con-
cerning the sincerity of China's policy. 1t
is feared that the Chinese rulers are mere

The correspondent believes. however. that
the real danger lies in renewed and in
tensifed mutual d.strust among the pow
ers.
It becomes clearer that Count Won Bue-
lows note concerning the punishment Of
the anti-foreign ringleaders has been more
or less failure and the situation is some

note has not yet been received.

All that Remain Under Arms Are but
GuerilIas and Bandits and Only
Fraction of the Whole.

Rear Admiral Watson. late commander
of the American naval squadron In orr
entail waters, has returned to this coun-
fry. probably from his last cruise. He
thinks the time has come for him TO
sneak more as citizen than as naval
officer, and his opinion Of the conditions
in the Philippines is well worth reading.
He says:
II am looking forward to the result Of
the presidential contest with anxiety and
deep interest, for know what it means,
not only to the future Of our country as
a power among the nations OF the world,
but to hundreds Of thousands Of people
in the far-away Philippines, who wonder
if we are going to step aside and watch
their threats being cut by the Tagalog
tribes now in arms against us.
.srhe great majority Of the people OF
those islands look upon Aguinaldo and
his party as enemies. The cry only serves
| to give them the thought Of what will
| happen il American protection Of their
| homes and lives is withdrawn.
| Il would like to correct misconcep-
! ton That eAlSlS III Inc minus " SOAuS pSO-

men. are going to change their whole ma
| ture as soon as they get out Of sight o.

post has been established for any length

taken to heart the attitude Of our men
toward them. and have been swift t.

The Philippines have never been devel-
oped and not only can they produce any
thing and everything in abundance which
grows in the tropics. but they are known
to have deposits of coal, iron ore, copper,
gold, silver and other minerals.
The acquisition Of the islands is fact
accomplished. We have not to ask
whether we shall expand-we have only
to expand the possibilities Of the islands.
