The Bryan Democratic League hoisted a white
flag on the fagpole of the Metropolitan Hotel yes
terday' and on the flag printed the name Of
the organization in great black letters "A large
suite OF rooms the second floor had been fitted
up with tables, chairs and other necessary flIrn-
ture for campaign headquarters, while several at
taches of the place busy hanging up such
extra decorations as lace curtains and looking
glasses.
Charles Campbell. chairman Of the league, was
found of the desks by a Tribune reporter,
and when he was asked what he thought of the in
terview with Mr.. Shepard in The Tribune yester-
day. in which Mr.. Shepard admitted that he had
told the league that national politics had no part in
the present campaign Mr.. Campbell said:
That simply shows what this Shepard is.
He is traitor to the Democratic party. We are
going TO fight him tooth and nail. We have got
seven eight cart tail speakers out against him.
and we intend that the people down on the East
Side shall know what kind of man he is.
Are you going 10 support Mr.. Low" was asked.
NO, not" the immediate answer.
We are not going TO support the head Of either

a long time from the front steps of the club

Justice Jerome Mr. Keller said: Il have known

Mr. Jerome took a notion that he would like to

perhaps could not speak 10 the Democrats present
with the same zeal and unrestrained enthusiasm
he had been accustomed to in addressing the
''unterrified Democracy of that section in former
years because OF the presence of representatives
OF the newspapers. Continuing. he said: 1T is
the principles OF the Democratic party that are
at stake in this campaign Tom Plate said some
years ago that you could not eliminate politics
from an election in small town. Calling thing

mind, kind of Barmecide feast which,
one would think, would be somewhat un-
satisfactory in its nature.
A most commendable spirit OF friendly
comradeship exists among the members
of the genealogical community. and it not
infrequently happens that two or more
Of them find. as one of the results of their
voluminous researches, that they are re-
motely related to one another by ties Of
consanguinity which il would unnerve a
strong man to attempt to fathom. To lis
ten to several of the estimable lady mem
bers of the club engaged in aaEenealogical
discussion is to realize the extent to
which human patience and volubllity can
go when uctuated and inspired by 4 truly
useful and ennobling object.
1t is to be remarked that that old-e stab-
lished bore. William the Conqueror, who
has. in the past been burdened with an
immense load OF responsibility, is now
coming to be regarded as far too modern
TO be counted as a respectable root for an
ambitious family tree. The ancient Saxon
kings are looked upon as mediocre stock.
and medieval Germany is furnishing a vast
deal OF very fair material the extreme
complexity and uncertainty OF which rem
ders it especially valuable to the genealo-
gist.
The tendency or the modern pedigree
hunter, however (whose main popularity
lies In the fact that the more he advances
the further back he goes) is. by carrying
the Middle Ages by storm. as it were, to
advance into ancient. Egypt. Greece. Rome,
and Palestine. He first tries, perhaps,
what ne can do with the Pharaohs. and
generally succeeds in subduing a number
of those mOnarchs and annexing them to
his family tree. In fact. from present in
dications, II is hard TO perceive what can
resist the onward or rather backward
march of his genius. Not content with
conquering the ConqCeror himself, and
degrading him from his high estate in
ancestral annals he has gone on in his
ruthless and triumphant course, swelling
his captive train with none less than kings
and emperors. princes and princesses, war
riors and statesmen till the spectator
stands appalled, at this wonderful exposi-
ton OF his power and might Nor are
these Herculean labors confined TO SIN

as might at first be supposed. II is the
triumph of the cult more than that OF he

1t was an outrage to accept any longer the
restrictions which the faifeau had SO long
placed on Sunday
Despite their courage In declaring their
opinions on this important matter there
was not chief in Tutuila who dared yio-
late single one Of the Sunday obser-
vances. So they decided to appeal to he
Governor. In what form to ask remedial
action from the Governor a recent in
stance had taught them. An early ordi-
nance of the new Government one really
based on temporary conditions of the
state of war, had been but a short time
before repealed and proclamation of that
action duly made. accordingly the chiefs
assembled in Pago-Pago invited Governor
Tilley to debate with them on matter
of great Importance. There were the
usual concomitants OF such Samoan meet
ings, the wearisome round of kava drink
ing, OF dancing girls, of baked pig and
other food. and of hours of complimentary
speeches. Last OF all, when they did get
down to business. the chiefs described to
the Governor the offensive customs and
besought him to repeal the fourth COM
mandment, and they would be happy for
evermore.
1t is not known whether the power of a
naval officer in command of collier like
the Aborend and colonial dependency
extends as far as this nor is it at all
clear that the action could be accom-
plished if submitted in regular form to
the Secretary of the Navy At all events
Commander Tilley had given no answer
when last heard from.

Possibly no other naval man ever had
to take action upon so radical measure
as that which has been proposed to Com
mander Tilley by the newest Americans
of all. the Samoan people of Tutuila.
After much debate the native population
have asked Commander Tilley, who Is
their governor. to repeal the fourth com
mandment. They do not want TO keep
the Sabbath holy.
American Samoans. those OF Tutuila and
Mania. have lost no time in relinquishing
thei- former monarchical ideas, and be-

the real thing in the way of fellow-citi-

There is 20 better job in Samoa than to

considers himself special officer of the

they be published No other offence. in
his opinion, can be half so heinous as

and Massachusetts Bay settlements of the
Puritans. Fine. hard labor and depriya-
ton of church privileges await the often

church, who sings on that day other than
hymns, who tells stories except those in
the Bible.
Now when the Americans OF Tutuila
found that their first plunge into re-
publican form of government freed them
from the necessity OF sending their most
treasured possessions to King in distant
Apia they began to see Il sir way to an
other nibble at the excellent cake OF indie
pendence, and the Sunday observance was
the next rallying point for patriots. me
news was carried from village to village
and was secretly discussed in every viii

native pastors the idea met with ready
acceptance all over Tutuila. and the
