cause of law and good government, but
it assuredly is not proper to call our
contemporaries attention to the fact
that it is preaching a very dangerous

that If the Virginia legislature should
retaliate by enacting a one-cent rate

heavy bond every official in the state,
such a course would be legal and a re-

something about the relations existing
between the United States and Japan,
and the matter is become a subject of
international c0nfab in both hemis-
pheres. Mr.. William Jennings Bryan,
by thousands and thousands Of men
of the entire world, has considered
the thing and disposed of it in per-
emptory speech, OF which the following
is the conclusion:
when l say Japan does not want
war, | do so advisedly, for when I
vas in Japan | talked with the leading
men OF all Walks of life, and found only
expressions of friendship for u coun-
try"
Suppose Japan did want war at the
very moment her elders were having
pacific speech with Mr.. Bryan, does
Mr.. Bryan or anybody else suppose
that he protestations would have been
any less voluminOus and her tone any
less pacific? Art in health my broth
er."
Of all the men in the world, Mr..
Bryan has most personal interest. in
preserving peace and friendly under
standing between the United States and
Japan. If the two should go to war
it will be, the presence of the American
flag in the Philippine archipelago. Our
flag is there because Mr.. Bryan left his
job ~a-coloneling," as Judge Jere Black
called it, fastened to the United States
senate and practiced state-craft to
the discontinue and overthrow of the
democrats who sided with Senator Cor
man and the republicans who sided
with Senator Hoar.
The excuse Mr.. Bryan offers for his
course in the Philippines for American
colonies is that he supposed the "Ba-
con amendment" would prevail. AL
ready the Philippines hav cost our peo-
pie hundreds of Millions, and if wal
with Japan should follow that ,cost
would be swelled many fold.
