TMBBM CRITICISM OF MMYAMI8M
William L. 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.
"May we Americans or our chil
dien never contemplate the sad,
humiliating sight of other and
foreign Bags floating over that land
abandoned by us through political
cowardice or iiiocj."

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. It would make
tbe Filipinos the arbiters of tbe
destiny of the United States. Tbe
Bryan proposition is preposterous
and beyond all reason.

good people distributed tens of

earn a living by working, as we
could not do that time, for there was
no work to be had. As for the

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.

he "supplied her with fresh eggs during
her ternporaiy absence," and allowed
her to procetd with her incubation busi
ness. 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

showed the little hen had defended her

fore, and had pecked it to death. Next
day she "came off" with eleven chick

Monday night six new speciallin
will be given, one of the most
entertaining being the Edison's moving

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

you can remain at home until nearly 8
