THREE GREAT MEETINGS.

The friends of sound money and anti
Organism should have three immense
meetings the present week. Wednesday
evening Representative Littleield. of
Maine, who became a leader in the House
in one session. will speak in Tomlinson
Hall. In the Second Maine district he sue
ceeded Governor Dingley. who succeeded
Senator Frye. In the Maine campaign his
speeches were among the best and he is in
great demand
Thursday evening John p. Irish. of Cali
fornia, will speak in the English Opera
House, under the auspices of the Gold
Democrats. Mr.. Irish has spoken in In
dianapolis, so that the brilliant champion
of sound currency needs no introduction to
the people of this city.
Iowas new senator, Dolliver, a speaker
of rare ability and with countrywide rep
utation as a powerful debater, will speak
on Saturday night in Tomlinson Hall, I'M
der the auspices of the Commercial Trav-
elers' Republican Club. Few speakers are
in so great demand as is Senator Dolliver.
These three meetings should be made
great events in the campaign, because all
of the speakers are representative men,
who will most ably discuss the issues upon
their merits

The venerable General Franz Sigel has
written stirring letter to German-Amer-
leans. veterans and sons of veterans. urg-
ing them to vote for Mckinley and Roose-
welt. General Sigel supported Mr.. Cleve-
land in 1888 and 1892, but now he is aroused
to the evils of Organism. as the follow
ing extract from his letter shows:
The demand of the silverites tends to
a financial revolution, reputation and
ruin; that of the Populist extremists and
Anarchists to the subversion of social or
der. a war of masses against classes for
the possession of wealth. They strike
against the very foundation of the Ameri-
can Republic, denying the right of man to
enjoy the fruits of his labor and the acaui-
sition of wealth by his genius or talent,
by his industry and perseverance.
What do they care about the great sac
rifices OF the war for the restoration of
late conflict with Spain. provoked by that
Nation? Or about the great results gained
by the patriotism, the bravery and the
losses of our army and navy in the field?
of the pensions, on which the veterans
and their families or their widows and
orphans depend for the rest of their days
What do the Silverites. Populists and An
the arbiter in interstate troubles and liti-
cations. political and civil? What will
become OF the independence and impartial
ity of the court when its members will
be debased to mere servants of the major
ity of Congress, and tools of PARTISAN
ism and subservient President? Where.
then, is any guarantee against internal
strife. secession, war and disintegration?
Whether native born or adopted. Repub-
licans or Democrats. politically you are
nothing else but Americans. The Ameri-
can Republic is your country and that OF
your children and your childrens children.
Stand firm on the basis of the Constitution
the laws and institutions OF the land which
you defend. and will defend. and do not
submit TO the eccentric demands and agi-
tations of its open or secret enemies like
Carl Schurz and his misguided followers.

HASNA's coRRoBoRATroN OF BRYAN

The Bryan orators and organs seem to
have been made very happy by the declara-
ton of Senator Hanna that he does not be-
lieve there is trust in this country, mean
ing a monopoly. The statement has made
them very happy because other Republic
ans have used the word as applying 20 the
combination of number Of plants under
one head to carry on their business more
economically. Mr.. Bryan talks so much
that his friends can be pardoned for not
keeping the run of all that he has been
saying the past four years. Therefore,
they will be surprised to find in his speech
at the Chicago conference regarding trusts
the following sentence:
We have not had in this country yet a
taste of a complete trust, complete mo-
nopoly, and We cannot tell what will be
the results of complete monopoly by look
ing at the results which have followed
from an attempt to secure monopoly, be-
cause In the attempt to secure a monopoly
the monopoly has been lowering the prices
in order 10 rid itself OF competitors, but
when 1t has rid itself of competitors what
is going to De the result?
Mr.. Bryan garbles and distorts when he
quotes Abraham Lincoln, hut the forego-
ing. from Mr.. Bryan's speech of Sept. 1s
1899. is quoted in full. So. according to the
Matches One" we had mot a complete
trust, complete monopoly" year ago.
All that the monopoly makers had done
up to that date was to drive competitors
cut of the business by reducing prices. This
means that until the middle of September,
1899, a year ago, those conspiring to or
ganize trusts or monopolies. instead of rob-
bling the people by advancing prices, had
been putting money into their pockets by
cutting prices.
II the so-called trusts had been to the
advantage of the consumer up to a year
| ago, have any of them, since that time,

and, having a monopoly, put up prices +?
And now that the subject is under consid-
Grafton. will Mr.. Bryan his organs give
list of the combinations in manufactures
which have secured a monopoly and adj
vanced prices? The Democratic organs

THE POLITICAL STATUS OF THE
EILIPINOS

Among the novel and somewhat puzzling
questions that have grown out of our &C
QUESTION of the Philippine islands is that as
to the status of the people and their rela-
ton to the United States government. Mr..
Bryan has utilized the situation, no doubt
to the confusion of some persons minds.
by asking repeatedly, "Are they citizens or
subjects?'' implying that if not full-fedged
citizens. invested with civil rights, the
right of voting. etc. they must be subjects,
and thence drawing an argument in favor
OF Imperialism, since, i'm a republic, there
can be no subjects. correct understand
ing of the principles of international law
applying TO the case and the use of little
common sense will show that the question
is not an abstruse difficult one. In the
first place, 1t must be remembered that as
we acquired the islands by treaty from
Spain we acquired all of her rights of SOW
ereignty well as territorial rights, her
right TO govern the inhabitants as well as
her right to hold the islands themselves
Spain might have insisted on some qualifi-
cation of this position If she had chosen to
do so. Most modern treaties i'm which one
government cedes territory to another con-
tain a provision enabling the inhabitants
of the coded territory 10 preserve their
original allegiance IL they so desire upon
complying with certain specified conditions
but in the absence of treaty provisions on
the subject the allegiance of the people
changes with the cession of territory. The
Supreme Court of the United States has
gone so far as to say in the case of the
United States VS.. De RepentIgny. 5 Wal
lace, 200:
A rule of public law is that the con-
queror who has obtained permanent pos
session of the enemys country has the
right 10 forbid the departure of its new
subjects citizens from il and to exercise
sovereign authority over them.
The same rule would. of course. apply to
territory obtained by treaty and cession.
The treaty of Frankfort. in 1871 which
closed the Franco russian war and gave
Alsace and Lorraine TO Germany. required
such inhabitants OF the coded territory as
wished TO retain their French allegiance
to emigrate within a limited period. Other
modern treaties have contained similar pro-
visions Our treaty with Spain contains a
provision that native Spaniards residing in
the Philippines may continue TO do so and
preserve their allegiance to Spain by max
| ing before a court OF record. within a
year from the date of the exchange of
notifications OF this treaty declaration of
| their decision 10 preserve such allegiance;
| in default OF which declaration they shall
be held TO have renowned ii and TO have
adopted the nationality of the territory in
which they reside" That relates only 10

From India to the Planet Mars.

Persons who are interested in the occult
and in psychical research will find some
thing to engage their attention I'm this
book. which a subtitle designates as "a
study in a case of somnambulism." The
author is Prof. TIL. Flournoy, of the Uni
versity of Geneva, Switzerland. and for
more than five years he and other scientists
conducted a careful investigation of GER
tain strange phenomena manifested by Miss
Helene Smith, spirit medium of Geneva,
though not professional and never receiv-
ing any compensation for her services. Her
character and standing are strongly
vouched for. The phenomena which are
minutely related in this volume are such
as pertain to the clairvoyant or trance
state. and are of an extraordinary char
acter. In her frances the medium lives
the existence of an Indian princess. an in
ha5itant of the planet Mars, and as Marie
Antoinette. Her experiences. sensations
and revelations in these various phases of
existence are reported in detail by Profess
sor Flournoy. whose learning enables him
to discuss critically the accuracy of the
mediums linguistic and astronomical ex-
periences while in the trance state. He
announces his own conclusions with perfect

The aims. objects and methods of the
Russian Nihiists furnish the basis of the
plot of this story The story itself is SO
vivid and lifelike that it might easily be
considered a history of political intrigue
in Russia, disguised a novel. The hero
is young Englishman, an architect who
is employed by Russian nobleman to
superintend some important alterations In
the noblemans castle. Later on the En-
Car is taken advantage of by the Mill
lists for the furtherance of their plans. The
nobleman has a beautiful daughter. the
heroine of the story, who becomes the CEN
tons of the Nihiists and the mingling of
political intrigue and love furnish materials
for complicated plot, and the interest
of the story is maintained TO the end. The
story is laid in the present day. and its
stirring events have an up-to-date flavor.

picture of life in Siberia from the popular
conception. though perhaps there are two
sides. Although the story is in sense a
