wheat, -four, cotton. oil. coal. machih-
cry and merchandise to the Orient.
Americans are opening up mines, mills,
railroads, electric plants and trading
concerns In all the east. Under the
fostering care Of Republican policies
we have been able not only to supply
our own home markets but to invade
successfully the home OF cheap labor,
the Orient.
War upon the sanctity Of our courts,
war upon the efficiency of our army
and navy. war upon our protected in
dustries. war upon capital and war
upon an honest currency and an honest
standard are inevitably, and by un-
avoidable consequence, wars upon the
extension Of our foreign trade and
upon that good esteem which we now
enjoy throughout the east and through
out the world. The fact never should
be lost sight OF that, without indus
trial prosperity at home. we can enjoy
no commercial prosperity abroad; that
the same policies which build up Amer
lean enterprises in America establish
American successes outside Of America,
and our situation in the Orient must
always depend upon our situation at
home, and our situation at home must
depend upon those fostering princi-
pies OF protection and integrity which
have characterized the Mckinley ad-
ministration.

Our Position as a World Power

During the administration OF Presi-
dent Mckinley great and important
changes have taken place in the gen.
eral estimate put by the Orient upon
the United States Of America, says J.
Sioat Fassett, the distinguished New
York Republican leader.
Previous to 1896 there was prevalent
only vague notion of our wealth and
our power as a nation. 1t was general
ly understood that we were great
money makers, manufacturers and
traders; that we had small and in
efficient army and small and untried
navy. Compared with the military and
naval strength and display of European
nations, and compare. with the diplo-
matte equipment Of these nations, the
United States suffered in the minds of
most Orientals, who are profoundly i'm
pressible by the outward and snowy
demonstrations of wealth and power
and the disposition and ability to use
them.

activity. due to Republican policies

IN THE ORIENT.
1t is understood that America has
no sinister designs, politically or terri
torially. upon the Oriental states, but
that her interests are all in the line
Of universal peace and general order
and seCurity for the purposes OF NIL
tual intercourse and trade. The change
OF attitude from tolerant indifference
TO solicitous friendliness has already
greatly increased existing sources OF
trade and opened up many new ones.
This change of front, which Is so man
ifest as to deeply impress Americans
who have long been in the east. comes
at time when existing conditions at
home nre more happily fitted to en-
able us 70 avail ourselves of 1t than for

BRYAN AT HIS WORST.
Wild Talk of the rresid g ntinl Cam
dIdate On the Financial Issue.

II is not pleasant to find candidate
for president Of the United States talk
ing as foolishly or dishonesty as Mr..
Bryan talked at Monet, Mo:
The Republicans are now boasting
that we have reached point where
we can loan money to people,in in other
countries. want to ask you whether
you regard that as an evidence Of pros
perity. Why would any man send his
money to Europe for investment IL he
could find a place in this country to
invest It? Money sent abroad for in
yestmcnt must be sent for one Of two
reasons, either because the man who
sends the money over there thinks
more Of the people over there thap he
does Of the people here, and does it for
love and devotion, or because 1t is a
matter Of business, that is, because he
can invest it to better advantage in a
European country than he can in this
country"
"Mr. Bryan either knows or does not
know" says the New York Sun, that
the country has accumulated so much
money under that financial system
which he is trying to break down that
1t has money to lend at low rate OF
Interest 20 the rest Of the world. He
either knows or does not know that
4 low rate of inerest is good for the
country in general, especially for that
debtor class" for which he shows so
much concern. He either knows or
does not know that country which is
able to lend must be prosperous. He
either knows or does not know that the
big slice of the German loan taken by
a life insurance company represents in
large measure the savings OF many
men in moderate circumstances.
III he does not know these things.
he is too big a fool to be president. II
ne does, and yet talks as he talked at
Monet, he Is too dishonest to be presi-
! dent"

They told of his ability as an orator.
his services as speaker of the house
Of Representatives, his experience as
lawyer and a lawmaker, and of his
popularity in the community.
Since Mr.. Walton has refused to fol-
low the Wanamalier Martin-Flinn out
fit into the Democratic party, or to op-
pose the nominees of the Republican
party for the Legislature, he ceases to
be the idol of the insurgent editorial
writer's and is attacked as a weakling.
a man without force and as unworthy
of consideration. Mr.. Walton's friends
smile as they point out the inconsist-
ency of the men who, when they cannot
rule the Republican organization, make
deals with Democrats TO defeat the Will
of the majority at Republican prima-
ries and conventions.
Mr.. Walton's friends are turning In
for the full Republican ticket and
there is no doubt about the election
OF MIR. Berkelbach to the senate and
the success Of every Republican can
didate tor the house Of representatives
in this senatorial district.
Mr.. Walton action has me, the ap-
proyal of Republicans throughout the
state. 1t unquestionably has had con-
siderable influence upon Republicans
who have been unsuccessful in pri-
mary election contests, but who be-
come stronger Republicans by standing
by the successful caudilates.
Iu..C Las layG considerable activity
among local Republican leaders with
in the last few days, which indicates
that the Martin influence in the or
gan'2.'igL lyge Will shortly be OBJ
litera,gI entirely. Martin seems to
realize this.
They tell story of n meeting be-
tween Martin ana Finn just after the
defeat of Walton for state senator and
the turning down of the other insur-
gent candidates for the legislature at
the recent primaries.

Havana March 12.-The special com
mlttee appointed yesterday to wait upon
Mgr. Sbarretti and to present to him the
protest against his appointment as bishop
of Havana, made it's visit to-day. The
protest which they submitted set forth
that a majority of the Catholics in the

bishop. 1t is also asserted that those who
thought otherwise were enemies of Gu

Mgr. Sbarretti informed the committee
in reply that he could not abandon the
position as he had been sent there by the
Pope. Later in the day the bishop said:

MIR. WI HAS AMERICAN WAYS.
Chinese Minister Speaks English
Better Than Any Other Chinaman.

From the New York World
Washington, Feb. 2S-Probably the most
unique figure in Washington official and
social life is Mr.. WI Ting Fang. the Chin
I csc minister to the United States. The
popularity of Mr. Wus nature does NOT
lie in the fact that he is characteristic
cally Chinese, but, on the contrary that
he is almost a thorough going American
in his manners and customs
Mr.. WI speaks the English language
as fluently, volubly and correctly as any
American college graduate. The most re-
markable feature of his wonderful knowl-
edge of the intricate tongue is the fact
that he learned to speak 1t without any
tuition.
Before coming to America said Mr..
Wa, 81 determined to learn the American
language. / have made II point in life
that whenever l attempt to do anything
l shall persist and persevere until | have
mastered the situation. 1t has been said
that no other Chinaman on the globe
speaks the English language as well as
l do. But what ] know of 1t has been
learned by me without any school in
struction. l have simply picked 1t up by
self-application and by observation in
American society"
1t Is not only in this respect that the
minister is American In his customs and
manners, bud he has likewise absorbed
all of it's notable habits and idioms of
American society His entertainments
given to Washington society at his hand
some residence at Eighteenth and @
streets are Enthusiastically American.
There is nothing Oriental about his re-
ceptions and dances, and, unlike the so
cial functions given at the other far East
ern embassies, everything is thoroughly
American.
my experience in American society has
been very pleasant" said Mr.. WI to-day.
II like the American people, not only for
their gentleness of nature and breeding,
but because they are open-hearted, thor
oughy frank and sensible. / consider the
American women equal in every respect
to those of China. / think they are all
very beautiful Some of them may not
be beautiful physically. but In character
they stand pre-eminent among the women
of the world"

PoIygamy in TERRA del Fueso.
From the Century Magazine.

Women generally have very little TO say
about marriage In TERRA del Fuego. For
ages the strongest bucks have been accus-
toned to steal women from neighboring
tribes and from neighboring clans of their
own tribe. The Onas, being by far the
most powerful Indians, have thus been
able to capture and retain liberal supply
of wives.
The relation to one another of the wo-
men who possess but one husband in COM
mon IN the family wigwam is OF novel In
terest. As a rule they are no more jeal-
Gus than are the children in a civilized
home circle The principal reason for this
is that the several wives are often sisters
A young man takes by force by mutual
agreement or by barter, the oldest daugh-
ter of q family II he proves himself n

In the hut each wife has her own as
signed position, always resting in exactly
the same spot with all Of her belongings
about her. The wealth OF the household
is not common to all the occupants. Each
woman has her own basket Of meat frag-
ments or shellish, her own bag with inn
PIGMENTS needles, sinews and bits of fur

remarkable woman shots in all Hoosier-
dom, IL not in the country. The new shoot
err is Miss Sonia Wright of this city,
and John T.. Long, the marksman, claims
the honor of having discovered her.
1t was only a short time ago that Miss
Wright called on Mr. Long at the La
favette water works in company with sew
eral other women. The subject of marks
manship came up for discussion. Miss
Wright said she had never handled a
rifle. and wanted 10 learn how to shoot
Mr.. Long got a rife, initiated her into its
use. and put up a white card with black
center some yards away. The first shot
was a bull s-eye. 1t was regarded as ac-
cidehtal. Four more shots were fired and
only two landed outside the black center
That was the beginning. She kept her
praatice up with vigor Mr. Long decided
10 try her at trick shooting. AT her two
hundredth shot she clipped a card in two
which was held edgewise at the distance
of eight yards. Then came a series OF
other tricks shots which were revelations
Recently Miss Wright gave an exhibit

she did with the rife was to knock the
