Extracts From W. J. Bryan's paper.

THE REPRESENTATIVES DUTY.
The action OF Hon. Seth W. Brown,
a republican member of congress from
Ohio, in introducing Philippine rrso-
luton antagonistic to the policy Of his
patty raises the question: What is
| the duty of representative?
II Mr.. Brown had been elected upon
a platform declaring In favor Of the
permanent retention of the Philippines
he could not have introduced the reso-
| luton that he did Ia resolution prom
ising independence to the Filipinos
when capable and stable free govern
ment is establishedD without repudiat-
ing the promises made to his consti.
tuents. A platform is worse than USE
less If it is not binding upon the con-
| science of the representative, for II 1t
| is not obeyed it deceives the voters.
So long as the people are the sover-
eigns and the representatives are the
servants chosen, not to think for them
but to act for them, platform pledge
should be sacredly observed. But Mr..
Brown was elected to congress In 1898
and was not reelected last year. At
the time Of his election the treaty with
Spain had not been made and his party
had not announced any policy ON ths
Philippine question. The introduction,
therefore, of a resolution in line with
the democratic position, but antagon-
istic to the position of the administra-
tion cannot be considered as betrayal
of the confidence of his constituents.
Mr.. Brown also warns his party
against any attempt to repudiate the
promise of independence made to Cuba.
Speaking of the resolutions adopted
by congress. he says:
The man who says we should have
'resorted to this double dealing in
April, 1898. now very logically and
very naturally goes a step further and
says. We ought to violate the pledge
We then made and take Cuba whether
she wants to come to us or not. What
more miserable, more inhuman, more
unpatriotic course could be advocated?
1t is the climax of greed. without one
spark of conscience. 1t is the acme OF
avarice, without single redeeming
feature. 1t is the doctrine of a free
booter Of the world. 1t is code of the
pirate of all the seas"
In administering this warning tho
representative from Ohio is also with
in his legal rights because his party
unanimously approved OF the pledge
made in April. 1898, and has never op-
emily repudiated the pledge. As late as
last summer the republican national
convention formally renewed tho
promise. 1t is encouraging to find q
republican member of congress far
sighted enough to see the dangers into
which the administration is hurrying
the country.

Hose AND 1owNE IN A NEW ROLE.

An Austin (Texas) paper is re-
sponsible for the following piece
of news:
The representatives of the oil
syndicates of which former Gov
ernor J.. S. Hogg and former
United States Senator Charles A.
Towne are at the head arrived
here today to oppose the measure
now before the Legislature which
provides for a tax of 2 per cent
on the gross receipts of the oil
producers of Texas. The Stand.
ard Oil Company has also sent a.
lobby here to defeat the bill.
The Chicago Record-H Herald
commenting upon>this item says:
Surely there must be some mis-
take here. It cannot be possible
that Hogg and Towne are fight
ing a proposition to tax corpora
tons. Let the Texas papers tell
us that Venus has snapped orbits
with Neptune, that the Rio
Grande has changed its course
and is now emptying into the Pa
cifc, or that tourists have ceased
trying to smuggle opals and drawn
work across the border from
Mexico and we may believe them.
But when they say that James S.
Hogg and Charles a. Towne are
opposed to having the people
share in the profits that come
from oil pumped out of the
ground they pass beyond the
scope of reason and rove at ram
dom in the illimitable stretches of
fancy.

Eighteen head of the Deep Creek Cat
tie Co. steers sold at $3.50 per cwt. on
Mondays Chicago market. The average
weight of the steers was 1888, making
gross price per steer 1882 and the net
price over $3.50. This is great price
for a four year old grass fed steer, and it
recalls to mind the sale of rangers made
by Geo. Harkins in 1899 at $40 per cwt.

1891, it is found that Jack Hanley sold a

4 NATION STRICKEN.

A NATION STRICKEN.
The message which flashed over
the wires from Buffalo last Friday
President Mckinley has been
shot"-caused intensest sorrow
throughout the country and even
in foreign lands. Bulletins from
the sick room have been eagerly
scanned and as the calm, patient
sufferer has passed one by one the
critical medical crisises and is
rapidly leaving behind all danger
points a Thank God" arises from
millions of lips.
In the face of the action of the
would-be.assassin, Czolgosz, the
nation stands appalled, and with
the grief for the president is in
dignation at the act and actor and
dismay and shame that such a
thing could occur in our great,
free prosperous and progressive
country.
President McKinley-as has
often been said-had not an
enemy, and it was true. Kindly
and charitable, patient and wise,
devoted to whatever was best for
the people at large. no wonder
his hold upon the nation is al
most marvellous! Even his poll
tical opponents respected and ad-
mired him, and in their associa-
ton there is none of that rancor
that exists in so many instances.
Only a year ago we were in the
midst of a heated presidential
campaign which resulted in signal
victory for Mr.. Mckinley and his
policy. Now, only a few months
after his second Inauguration all
sections and all parties seem to
have forgotten their differences
and all admit the wisdom Of
President Mckinley in dealing
with the great questions which it
was his to solve. He has united
North and South as no other ex.
ecutive has been able to do.
His address at Buffalo, just be-
fore he was laid low, upon the fu-
tu,re trade policy of the United
States was a mastery handling of
q great subject-the subject which
more than another will effect the
future prosperity of the country.
No president since the martyred
Lincoln has been SO much be-
loved as Mckinley, and no words
can be found scathing enough ia
express the feeling of the people
for the fend Czolgosz and all Of
his kind.
The president has had the best
Of medical care, as his rapid re.
covery shows, but a great factor
in bringing him back from the
shadow of death has been the
calm, self-composed helpful pres
ence of his wife. She has been al
invalid for years and it has beer
his tender loving care to shiele
and help her; now, though at tn.
time he was stricken down sh,
