treaty took effect. When they come to
life, as they must. we shall find that
they were changed after the negotia-
lions began. / do the president the JUS
tice to believe he did not at first in
tend to step in the shoes of the king of
Spain, but only meant to pull or buy
him off the backs of the Filipinos This
was a plain duty He did not then
mean to buy him out and continue the
same business at the old stand, but the
president is better at seeing his plain
duty than at doing it. He takes the
wrong kind of people into his confidence,
and puts himself under their control.
They turned him about face. We can
guess who they were, because they did
the same thing with him later about
Porto Rico, and as he had committed
himself to his duty in a message to
congress. they had to turn him in the
open. It was well enough to make Spain
reIinuuish to US all her claims to the
Philippines which were largely pre-
tended.
s.AIl we had to do was to declare. then
or later that we took and held them in
trust for the people thereof who, by our
request had fought side by side with us
to overthrow Spain. What should we
have thought if the French during our
revolution had bought out England s
pretensions and then turned their arms
to subdue us2 We had no formal treaty
with the Filipinos as the French mad
with US, but honest people do not raise
technicalitieS about the obligations or
honor and fair dealing. Many thought
and he whom I am soon to introduce
was one of them, that it would be best
to end the war and get rid of Spain by
ratifying the treaty, since 1t was made,
and then declare and carry out this
trust I believe they were right, but
they were deceived as to the real inten-
lions Of the president and by the reso-
luton the senate adopted, carefully
worded, so as to appear a promise and
prove an evasion. So we went from one
honOra Bile war to one of conquest against
those who helped because they
thought, and we made them think, we
were helping them. We have shed more
blood and spent more money in this war
than in the war with Spain and still our
boys are sent to disease and still the tax
gather calls for more
Judge Harmon introduced Mr.. Bryan
as the next president of the United
States. There was a great f1utter OF
handkerchief and a general shout, but
Mr.. Bryan did not have great difficulty
in securing comparative quiet after he
began.
The speech was largely a repetition CT
former arguments.
In his speech at Wauseon, Mr.. Bryan
again charged the Republican party
with making specious appeals to differ
ent classes of people and in support Of
his assertion produced circulars ad-
dressed to both the Catholic church and
the A. P. A. Referring to these circulars
he said:
Il have received today two circulars,
one being sent out to members of the A.

Republican ticket as a protest against
Catholics and the other asking Catholics
to vote the Republican ticket as a pro-

CROWD BROKE in.
Wouldn't Wait For Doors to
Open in Cincinnati.
Col. Bryan Greeted by Large
and Enthusiastic Audience.

Cincinnati, o., Nov. 1.-william J.
Bryan made the first speech here last
night that he has made in this city dur
ing the present campaign. He arrived
on a special train at 8 o'clock
The day was spent entirely in this
state and the itinerary covered the
country between this city and Toledo
Beginning with an hours speech at To-
ledo at 10 o'clock in the morning Mr..
Bryan spoke in succession at Wauseons
Napoleon, Ottawa, Lima, Wapokoneta,
Sidney, Piqua, Troy, Dayton, Hamilton
and College Corners
With the exception of the Toledo
speech none of the others of the day ex-
ceeded twenty-five minutes in length
and six of them were of only five min
utes' duration each. A majority of the
places where stops were made were
small towns and as a rule the crowds
fine audiences at Toledo, Wauseon,
Piqua, Dayton and College Corners.
Mr. Bryan received a very cordial re-
ception in Cincinnati. He was met at
the station by an immense crowd, and
being driven to Music hall under the
escort of the DuckWOrth club, he was
there welcomed by thousands on the
outside of the building and by as many
people on the inside Of the great build
ing as could be packed into it The
crowd on the interior had been awaiting
Mr.. Bryan for three hours, and on ac-
count of the heat and the packed cOndi-
ton of the hall there was great i'm
patience until he entered the hall 1t
had not been intended that the crowd
should be admitted until z o'clock but
they broke the doors down an hour
earlier and helped themselves as to all
the available space
Mr. Bryan made his first speech of the
evening to the crowd on the outside Of
Music hall. He talked for only a few
minutes, and his address was in the
most general terms, but it was received
with loud applause.
1t took fifteen minutes to get the in
terror audience quiet after Mr.. Bryan
made his appearance at 8 o'clock. The
applause was general and prolonged but
it afterward degenerated into wild de-
mands for Bryan which did not cease
while Judge Harmon and Mayor Jones
spoke. They preceded Mr.. Bryan, but
they spoke with but little comfort on
account of the clamor.

mon said:

General Freight Agent Goodwin, of
the Gulf. Colorado & Santa F'e says of
the business of Texas roads: The bus

" from the storm has gotten back to
the point where il is fully as good as
last years business. But the lines which
were not touched by the storm are doing
more business than they did at this time
last year The crops in North Texas
and Central Texas are splendid and the
prosperous condition Of those sections is
something wonderful to observe The
people not only have made good crops,
but they have been wise and sold their
cotton as fast as they could get it TO
market at the top notch price Cotton
is still bringing a handsome price. and
the farmers are selling it just as fast
as they can get it out The people have
money to burn, and they seem happy
and contented. The effect of this pros
porous condition upon the people is re-
hected in the absence Of kicks concern

WHAT CAUSES DEAFNESS
The Principal Cause Is Durable but
Generally Overlooked.

Many things may cause deafness. and
very often it is difficult to trace a cause
Some people inherit deafness. Acute di-
seases like scarlet fever sometimes cause
deafness But BY far the most common
cause of loss Of hearing is catarrh Of the
head and throat
A prominent specialist on ear troubles
gives as his opinion that nine out Of ten
cases OF deafness is traced to throat
trouble; this is probably overstate7 b,,t
It IS certainly true that more than half
or AL cases OF poor hearing were caused
by catarrh-
The catarrhal secretion In the nose
and throat finds its way into the F,usta-
chan tube and by clogging 1t I'D verv
soon affects the hearing and the harden
ing Of the secretion makes the loss of
hearing permanent, unless the catarrh
y hieh caused the trouble is cured.
Those who are hard of hearing NAV
think this little far-fetched, but any
one at all Observant must have noticed
how hard cold in the head will affect
the hearing and that catarrh if long
neglected viii certainly impair the sense

from DEAFNESS and catarTh can satisfy
themselves on this point by using a 50

Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a whole

and they cure catarTh and catarrhai

Famous Exposition Design Being
Distributed by Railroads.

When the general passenger agents
We're in Buffalo they were entertained
with a cafe chantant'' by the Ellicott
club one evening. For their guests
amusement the famous Beck design Of
the official emblem of the Pan-American
exposition was shown as a living pic
ture. It was a striking picture.
This design shows two lovely maidens
the one blonde, typifying North Amer
lea, and the other a brunette, symbolic
ing South America. The blonde from
the upper part of the visible surface of
an ocean blue globe leans down extend
ing a kindly hand to clasp that of her
southern sister The skirts Of both
young ladies are SO arranged as to re-
senble the outlines of the continents,
and the whole expressing the bond of
continental sisterhOod which should ex-
ist between the countries of the west
ern hemisphere. North America wears
a red liberty cap that contrasts wildly
with her blonde beauty and pale yellow
draperies while a golden star scintillateS
from the raven-tresSed brow of Miss
Soath America as she peers over the
folds of her garments, which are that de-
lightful red tint Of the autumn leaf.

Big Profits Made by Roads Having
