NO UNCERTAIN SOUND.-That noble old Roman, Adlai E. Stevenson remarks in accepting the POpulist nom- ination for the vice-presidency on the ticket with Bryan that upon the inn portant question of finance the platform of the peoples party gives no uncertain sound" You are right, Adlai. it does. It denounces the gold standard act ''as the continuation of a long series of conspiracies to deprive the people of their constitutional rights over the money of the nation" and demands the "reopening of the hints of the United States to the free and unlimited coin age of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, the immediate in- crease in the volume of silver coins and certificates thus created to be Substi- tuted dollar for dollar for the bank notes issued by private corporations under special privilege granted by the law of March IA. 1900, etc" That is not an uncertain, but a very certain popu- list whoop for a free and unlimited coinage of irredeemable money.-New York Commercial.

WHERE GENERAL OTIS STANDS. T do not know the intention of our au- thorities, nor do I know anything about politics, but I am a good Filipino, and it seems to me that these so-called im- perialists and anti-imperialists are very similar, if not strictly alike, for all alike demand that we give the Filipinos the same identical thing. Could the plotting insurgents and their dupes be made 70 understand once for all that their crim- inal efforts are in vain, and that the sooner they unite with their better fel- low Countrymen in honest labor to ame- liorate the condition of their people the better it will be for their individual in terests, believe that peace and the be- ginning of great prosperity would soon be realized :n the islands.
 Withdraw the United States troops at once and give the islands independence? That remedy is now known to be too preposteroUs for sensible men to enter tain. A withdrawal would be followed by anarchy, a carnival of blood, the destruction of property, and the ulti- mate appropriation of the islands by other nations. Enter into a truce, ap- point commission to establish self- government In the Philippines, and then withdraw the troops? Make a truce with whom? The chief represen- tative insurgent is a fugitive from jus tice. All of his cabinet and chief off cers have deserted him. and nearly all have declared for United States super vision and subscribed the oath Of a l. legiance to the United States. Appoint commission to establish self-govern- ment? Nobody but incompetent insur- gents or crafty or designing men look ing to individual interests would sit on it.-General E. s. Otis at the Lafay- cite Post dinner New York.
