Mitchell, the mtp pub lisher of Chicago, in a letter telling of his position in this campaign, signs himself "A democrat who has voted for nine presidential democratic candidates, but who can not vote for Bryanism, Altgeldism, anarchism, socialism, populism, the free riot doctrine and the rotten 16 to 1 plank of the present so-called democracy. 1 shall vote for McKinley." It is upon the Philippine policy that Mr. Mitchell hnds a puramounti issue for himself in this campaign. 'The United States," he writes, "holds the Philippines by conquest and by purchase. The title is not questioned by any other nation. What shall we do with them? A fatal moment colDrs a whole life. A blunder as to the Philippines could never be remedied. Mr. Bryan ad mits they are ours, and that we should hold them until a stable gov ernment is formed. He advised democrats to vote for the treaty of Paris. If they are not legally ours we have no right to bold them a moment for any reason or purpose. 'Then comes the question : What shall we do with them? We have held New Mexico and Arizona Dfty years as territories; no representation in the federal government. So, too, the District of Columbia has no rep resentation. Let us hold the Philip pines. The United Mates has never been asked to, nor has it established a protectorate over the South Ameri can republics, as Mr. Bryan and others have slated. A protectorate has in it a hundred wars with foreign powers for the United States, cnused by blunders, crimes and treachery of the natives. Better one war at a time, even with the Philippines, than endless wars with the whole woild. To abandon them would be a crime to tbe people ot those islands and to civilization.

All that is necessary is to subsli tute McKinley's name for Lincoln's, and Bryan's most pitiful appeal to save the country from imperialism at the hands of McKinley is equaled by this effort of the Indianapolis Sentinel more than a whole genera lion ago to save it from the same dread peril at the hands of Lincoln, that great and good man whose greatness and goodness Bryan is now striving to absorb into his own to curb the foolishness of the natives and yet commit the United States to fight their quarrels.

As for the campaign issue, expansion or free silver, I prefer expansion, since through building up those countries we have acquired a job may come to our hand once in a while.

Thla Hen Han a liecord. The Bryanilc combination is much more populistic and anarchistic than it is democratic. In fact, it is not democratic at all. The platform of the Bryanites, dictated by Bryan himself, is as un democratic and un American as it could possibly be made. It has nothing in it, what ever, in accord with the democratic ideas, principles, or policy of Jeffer son, or Jackson, or even with the later democratic administrations of Polk and Pierce. Bui it is thorough ly and recklessly populistic and anarchistic. It attacks not only individual and corporate rights and interests, but the basis of all property rights, and proposes even to remove and destroy tbe safe-guards which tbe laws and tbe courts of tbe country norf provide. It boldly proposes to substitute for the rule of law and tbe decisions of the courts under tbe law, tbe ignorant, fickle and uncertain will of a Bryanite mob, if that mob can be made a popular majority in the presidential election. The whole Bryanite move ment is an attempt to array one class of citizens of the country against individual enterprise and thrift and national prosperity, it is not es sentially different in spirit, and no better in its purpose, than the French communistic outbreak which fol- The grief of all Bryanites over the oppression of Porto Rico must be doubled when they learn that the Porto Ricans are no longer free to die of smallpox, says the Inter Ocean. That malady killed 522 of them the year before the Americans came, and eighteen months ago 3,000 cases were known to exist. Then tbe McKinley carpet-baggers resolved to vaccinate the entire population. Out of some 'J00,000 persons, 790,000 are recorded as successfully vaccuuted. No death from smallpox has occurred in the last eight months. The privi lege of having tbe disease has been taken away from tbe islanders "with out the consent of the governed," Senator James K. Jones, the demo cratic national chairman and director In the round cotton bale trust, said in a speech at Little Rock in dis cussing the gold standard: "Hun dreds of thousands of ignorant foreigners, who were here taking the bread out of the mouths of honest labor, voted at the last election at the dictation of McKinley's support ers. These foreigners comprised fully one-half of the number of votes received by McKinley." Chairman Jones uses different language when be expatiates on the fancied con version of the Germans to the 45c dollar. The suit against Hon. H. W. Cor bett, brought in tbe name of E. E. Peterson, has collapsed. The Orc gonian says: "There is every evi dence that the suit was brought through collusion between the nom inal plaintiff, the woman, and the attorney. It never had the semblance of good faith. It never was intended I that it should be tried, lhe motive from the first was not doubtful." And yet in spite of all this, common rumor will insist that Brother Corbett is the gayest kind of an old troubadour. Twenty-two of the largest laundry oncerns in Chicago have formed a trust witha a capitalization of $2, 000,000, ami, as a result, the price for washing dirty shirts has been advanced several cents all along the line. The Bryanites will not fail to note that this embargo on soiled linen is another proof of the ruinous effect of the Dingley tariff.

The day her chickens were due, Mrs. Bailey visited the nest to see if she was all right and discovered a polecat iying flat beside it with its head appar ently under her, and the hen paying no attention to it. She was alarmed for tbe safety of the unhatched chickens, and also the hen, and as there was no dog and no man around she ran to her house for a re volver, snd came back to biddie's assistance with the shooting iron and a long pole. She was afraid to shoot at the polecat while it waB so close to the hen, for fear of killing her, and she did not care to take hold of or kick an animal having the unsavory leputation of the rolecat. Hence the long pole was provided, Mrs. Bailey cocked the revolver, placed the pole under the polecat, and. closing her eyes, threw the animal into the air and discharged the revolver, She is a good shot with a revolver, es pecially when she has her eyes shut, but she was just a little surprised when she opened her eyes to find that the polecat was etoDe dead. Examination showed the little hen had defended her nest against the intruder the night be fore, and had pecked it to death. Next day she "came off" with eleven chick ens, which are all alive aud doing well, In view of the unparalled courage dis played by both tho lien and his wife, Mr. Bailey is truly proud of them both, and is of the opinion that when the title of "grittiest hen" or "grittiest woman" is bestowed, that honor should come to Brownsyille.

All vaudeville acts are presented bjtween acts, making one long continuous play. Monday night six new speciallin will be given, one of the most entertaining being the Edison's moving picture machine, reproducing a number of the late war scenes. Monday one lady and gentleman or two ladies will be admitted on one paid 50-cent reserved seat ticket. Standing room only is tbe sign nightly displayed whenever ladies' night is given. The best way to do is to secure your, seats in advance, which can be done without extra charge. By this method you avoid the inevitable crowd at the doors nt night, but instead you can remain at home until nearly 8 o'clock, then go the theater and be sure of a good seat and enjiy an entertain ment of the highest order of excellence.
