DENVER LETTER FUSIONISTS'
YELLOW DOG TICKET

In this there is something for the ex-
pansionists of Colorado to think about
He cast himself loose from the people
of this state who followed him in 1896
and has planted himself directly across
the path which they desire to pursue
in regard to the celations which the
United States shall bear to the remain
der OF the world. He has distinctly
made anti-expansion which he miscalls
''anti-imperialism," the issue upon
which the battle for the presidency
shall be fought.
On this issue the people of Colorado
are not with him. They believe in the
policy which the administration has
adopted, and they will never consent
that it shall be abandoned at the COM
mand of malcontents at home or enc
mics abroad. By the aid of soldiers
who went out from Colorado the Am
erlcan flag was planted in the Philip
pines, and there, as far as the infiu-
ence of Colorado can go, 1t will remain
until the purpose of the government in
that quarter of the world shall have
been fully accomplished.
The people of this state indorse what
Senator Teller said in the address de-
livered by him before the Silver Re
publican state convention at Colorado
Springs on September s, 1S9s. when, in
speaking of the Philippine islands, he
declared:
These islands are in the line of the
great commerce of the world. They
are worth millions to us, and we can
hold them without any disadvantage
| to us. We can hold them so they will
be a glory TO us, and n glory to the
people over whom we extend our flag
and our republican institutions. / am
one of those who believe that n re
| public is better than n monarchy. ]
believe the voice of 100. 100000 of men
| is better than the voice of one, and l
have faith in the American people, in
| their intelligence, in their integrity, in
| their ability, and l am willing to trust
| these great problems to them, and /
say we shall make no mistake If we
say to them: I'VE have put our flag
here, we have buried our dead, and by
the eternal the flag shall stay while
the Union lives"
This is not Mr.. Bryan's doctrine. but
it is the one which a great majority
of the people of Colorado and other
parts of the Far West indorse. 1t will
not be repudlated by them, however
much Senator Teller may endeavor to
explain away his words in an effort
to seem consistent in the support of
Mr.. Bryan now. There is nothing in
the attitude of Mr.. Bryan or any of
his followers to attract to his standard
the people of a state who have never
yet been unfaithful 10 the flag Of the

OF the many invisible and sympa-

cret correspondents perhaps the best
known are those composed mainly Of

revealed in lines Of pale green. The
phenomenon was transient and entire

LAwToN AND BRYAN.
Wa. Law,on'. Death a victory for Bryan,

Was Lawton's Death Victory for Bryans
The people at Ft. Wayne dedicated a
monument to General Henry W. Law
ton last week, and gave his name to
the chief park OF their city. By some
strange forgetfulness on the part of
somebody who should have known bet
ter, Mr.. Bryan was the orator of the
day. He spoke Of his own record as
soldier, distributed some platitudes
of praise to the volunteers, uttered
the musty old talk about the "victo-
ries of peace" and yearned "the time
to come when no hostile arm will be
raised against fellow man."
But what he said was no matter. OF
all men he was the last one who should
haye been allowed TO speak at the de-
dication of I-awton's monument, save
in the way of confession and self-hu-
initiation. Lawton might have been
alive to-day If the anti-imperialist
gang has not eggcd on their dear
friends, the Tagalog George Washing
tons, to the slaughter Of Americans in

Mr.. Bryan Is Mr.. Lawton himself:

Philippine situation could be known by
every one in America as l know 1t.
If the real history. inspiration and con-
ditions of this insurrection, and the in
fuences, local and external, that now
encourage the enemy, as well as the
actual possibilities of these islands and
peoples and their relations to this
great East could be understood at
home, we would hear no more talk of
unjust shooting of government into
the Filipinos, or of hauling down our
flag in the Philippines. If the So
called anti-imperialists would honestly
ascertain the truth on the ground, and
not in distant America, they, whom
believe to be honest men misinformed
would be convinced of the error of
their statements and conclusions and
of the unfortunate effects of their pub
licatlons here. II am shot by Fill

either knows that 1t is a difficult in

from taking up the playing OF what is
one of the sweetest instruments, but
with the keyboard attachment recent
ly patented by ]. G. st. John OF Boston,
Mass. 1t should be an easy task to pick
up the playing OF the instrument. Ev-
cry key Is mounted on q rod, which
passes through the bridges and into
the sounding board beneath. being pro-
vided with springs to maintain them
at their highest point. To the rod is
attached a short horizontal pin, which
normally rests against the under side
Of the key. and the rod also supports

When the key is depressed the pick
slips across the string and as the pin
is depressed at the same time the
string starts to vibrate. the tone being
maintained until the vibrations cease
or the key is allowed to rise, the pin
stopping the sound In the latter case.
The short spring directly above the
block serves to throw the key upward

AS Senator Billy Mason suggests
there are strikes md strikes. There
are the strikes we used to hear about
under the Cleveland administration,
inaugurnted because employers were
demanding that the employees should
submit to a reduction Of wages and
the strikes that are now from time to
time started to make the employers
pay bigger wages. There is quite
