YELLOW VERBOSITY.
The yellow j .utr.nls must bo fond
of tbe exubeicntly verbose style of
rbetoric. rather than plain every day
United Stales, if we are to judge
from the saffron-hued gush of an ass
who calls himself Langdon Smith
and reports Bryan's late reception by
the Tammany hosts to the San
Francisco Examiner. "As of old,"
says this moon-struck donkey, "all
Antioch gathered to gaze upon tbe
home-coming of Cambyses, so an
other modern conqueror, coming
without chariot or irrperial pomp,
without leashed slaves or glittering
retinue, was met by the myriads of
the faith and borne through a living
sea of citizens, which roared in w ild
surges about bis carriage wheels. It
was like nothing so much as the
rising of a vast flood. It swept tbe
crowd up along the walls of build
ings, mounted the pillars and cov
ered the entablatures and relieves of
the bouses with black drifts of
humanity. Here wa3 a distilled and
concentrated symbolism of protest
against oppression. It represented
toe wrongs or a country, uere was
democracy and its priesthood; here
was labor and its sponsor. And in
the voice of liryan as clear and
strong as wines from the vines of
Sorek there was the crash of the
falling of old walls; a protest nay, a
prayer to a people brass-collared
and yoked against their will. It was
a banquet of reason, seasoned with
philosophy and cooked without im
perial butter. And to the great
army of his fellows to the well-to-do
rneu wno listened gravely to bis
talk; to those grown gaunt and
hardened by privation; to tbe men
of the furnace and forge, the pick
and shovel Dryan spoke as one
whose soul is in a tension of fierce
resolve."
And why shouldn't Bryan have
spoken "as one whose soul is in a
tension of Gerce resolve?" He had
twelvo dollars' worth of Tammany
grub in bis belly (exclusive of wines)
and the evident mistake of this flam
boyant writer is that be didn't locate
the tension in some other part of
Bryan's anatomy.
HISTORY EEFEATS ITSELF.
History repeats itself. The in
stincts that governed tbe copperheads
of tbe civil war period still govern
their politicil successors. Tbe fol
lowing resolutions adopted at a
democratic meeting held in New
Yoik September 1, 1864, with slight
changes and tbe name of McKicley
substituted for that of Lincolu would
pass as an extract from cue of IWyan's
speeches:
DEMOCRAT
WHO FLOPPED
Why Congressman Sibley Flopped la
the Lii;ht of Duty and Concsience,
in ibe loiercsi of the Broadest
Hnraanitv and for the Sake of the
Greatest Number Abandons Bryan
ism and Supports McKink-v.
lion. Joseph C. S;b'ev was elected as
democrat to the 56;h congress from the
27th Pennsylvania diet) ict. He is now a
candidate from the same district as a re
publican. Ia a speech delivered to bis
constituents a short time ago at Bradford
he gives the reasons whL-n prompted
him to denounce Bryanisru and nil its
works. Ho said in part :
You charge me with changed opinions,
This Is true. Each day of life differs from
"Resolved, That the adminietra-1 aay l,ay preceding. The man who stands
tion of Abraham Lincoln, by its
imbecility in the conduct of the war
and its ruinous financial policy Las
forfeited the confiderce and respect
of the loyal 6tates. It has usurped
power not granted by the constitu
tion, has endeavored to render the
executive, aided by the military,
superior to the legislative and ju
dicial branches of the government;
it has assumed to destroy life and
confiscate property by unconstitu
tional proclamations; it has caused
the arrest and impeachment of per
sons without warrant or duo process
of law; it has violated the right of
ssyluru by surrendering to a despotic
power persons entitled to protection
under the law of nations, and by its
general conduct of public affairs and
its notorious extravagance and cor
ruption in'every department of the
government has created an enormous
debt, impairing the credit of tbe
nation and seriously diminishing the
resources and happiness of everv
citizen."
I ettll or barks back to the dead past w iH
be left in the rear.
HERE'S A FUSSY Till SO.
"There is no one more desirous
than myself to see tbis great city
morally pure. Tbe young men and
women should be particularly pro
tected from trie snares set for them,
and I have always done everything
in my power for their moral interest
and welfare." Kit-hard Croker.
Isn't that about the funniest thing
that ever camo down the political
pike? nsks the Philadelphia Inquirer-
There Is not a gambling hell or an
immoral den in all of New York that
is not under the protection today of
Kit-hard Croker through Tammany
Hall, and there is not one of them
that is not forced to contribute to
the fund raised to aid the campaign
of William J. Brynn
Tammany inteuds to dominate the
Ute, and Intends to do it through
immorality.
Croker nnd purity ! What kind of
a dense joke is this tin lion?
The Dry unite press that has heaped
such abuse on Muik llnnnn as seldom
falis to ihe lot of any human being,
'f half they Rl,ut his tyranny
towards his employes is true, have a
splendid oppoilunity of proving
their case and compelling Mr. Han
na to resign froin the United States
tnate. When at Madison, S. D.,
Thursday, Senator Hanna. threw out
challenge to bis traducers that, it
is perfectly safe to say, they will
"ever attempt to take tip. Manly
"en would, or step lying, but liars
are never manly. "If it can be
liowii," sal I tbe senator, "that in a
S'ngle instance I have denied a hear-
"K to ono of my C000 employes, or
''c "fused to consider any griev-
. At Arkansas City, Kan., last Tues
day, Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith answered Mr. Bryan's
well-known querv about past haul
ing down of the nag thus: "Mr,
Bryan's query about the past hauling
down of the Aug is a fair question,
and deserves a fair answer. I will
try to give it. The flag was carried
to Mexico by tbo law of war. It
was carried out by the law of peace,
for the terms of settlement provided
for the cession of California and sur
rounding territory, but not of Mex
ico. Tbe flag wect up in California
and has never come down from
there. It was curried to Cuba to
free humanity by tbo law of war;
and it will be taken from there under
the pledge of the law of congress.
It was carried to China to rescue our
ministers and missionaries, and it
will be taken from there, since that
is accomplished, nnd because we are
not an imperialistic nation. It was
carried to the Philippines by the law
of war, and will remain there by the
law of peace."
Senator Ilunna has teen cartooned
without mercy and maligned and
abused as if be were a public enemy.
Mr Bryan has been the chief offend
er. In every socecb, in any part of
the country, bo has held Senator
Hanna up to scorn and ridicule.
He did this in bis Salem speech in
the June campaign. Every true
American will concede Mr. Ilanna's
right to defend himself, iu ull fair
ness. He icsted under tbe calumnies
for four J ears and more, without
asserting this tight. But now that
he has undertaken the task be Is
doin the job very completely. He
shows himself fully equal the task.
Salem Statesman.
We call attention to the speech of
Congressman J. C. Sibley, of Penn
sylvania, which appears in another
column, in which that ijentlcuian
gives bis constituents boiiic of the
reasons that prompted him to "flo;"
from Bryanism to republicanism. It
is rare indeed to Cr.d so much solid
meat compressed Into so small a
space. It will amply repay reading.
There arc plenty of good, substan
tin!, oM-line democrats who could
not vote their sentiments if they
would, simply because there is no
longer a democratic party iu exist
ence In tbis country, says the Eugene
Register,
"New oeoaslous mate new duties;
Tiiu, mak8 ancient 2ood uncouth.
They must onward still and upward
Who would keep abreast of truth."
Yon charge me with being a flopper.
Yes, I guess that is so. If a flopper may
properly he defined as one who did not
know it all yesterday, Is wiser today and
aims for proves s tomorrow, then I am a
flopper.
If a flopper is one who finds a position
or yesterday untenable today, aim posi
tively wrong tomorrow, who seeks to
leave tbe nntenable position llio occupa
tion of which would stultify his intelli
gence, dwarf his conscience and work an
Injury to his fellows, then you may de
fine me as a flopper.
If looking at the present and trusting
for a grander future, rather than facing
backward to fan the smoldering embers
of tbe past, constitutes one a flopper,
please enumerate me as such.
Whenever-I see men who have been
working for one dollar a day, able to
earn two dollars; when the man who
earned two dollars can have the oppor
tunity to earn three, I will flop as often
as it may be necessary to help that con
dition for that man to continue.
When from 1893 to 1896 47 per cent of
the wage earners of this country were
unemployed or working on short hours,
aud today only three-eighths of one per
cent of tbe wage earners are nnem ployed,
I will flop to help keep these men em
ployed whenever and wherever it is
demanded.
When under Free-Trade Tariff bill we
saw our nation largely importing Its
manufactured necessities, and when
under this administration, we are manu
facturing not only for ourselves, but are
supplying the other nations of the world
with tbe products fabricated by Ameri
can hands in American workshops, you
can make a fair guess that I will flop to
help that cause along.
Last year wo sent from our American
workshops to foreign nations $339,000,-
000 worth of manufactured products;
this year 1432,000,000, and with the as
sured certainty that with the present
policy maintained these exports will
within six years reach wore than $1,000,
000,000 annually, thereby requiring
dpuble the workshops of the present and
affording double the'present opportunity
for honest labor and honest capital to
meet with substantial recompense, I will
flop, and flop until I can be right Bide
up in line with that policy.
When pound of wool brings the
farmer from 12 to 15 np to 50 cents to
day, and when his sheep, that were only
salable at a dollar per head in 1896, are
worth today three to four dollars per
head, I will flop whenever it is requ!red
for me to do so to help maintain that
condition for the wool grower.
When I find that in 1806 we imported
230,000,000 pounds of foreign wool; in
1897, 351,000,000 pounds of wool ; while
in the year 1899 we imported bnt6,000,
000 pounds of wool, to give the best
market of the world to the American
producer rather than the foreign producer
of wool, males it easy for me to flop for
the benefit of that wool-grower.
When cotton, that sold for 4 cents p?r
pound under the hist administration,
brings from 9 to 10 cents per pound
under the McKiuloy administration, I
will flop to help the cotton grower.
When I see an advance in the price of
all farm products ranging from 25 to 125
per cent, and my flopping from my at
titude to another will help that farmer,
I will try to lie the first man to flop.
When I sco furnaces blazinar, forges
cloning, looms weaving, when I hear
shuttles Clicking and spindles humming,
when brawn and brain each find fair re
compense whether in factory or In field,
I will, as a man who aims to be loyal to
his fellows, his country and his Creator,
try my level best to maintain . that con
dition, call me what you will.
When wages have" Increased from 10 to
100 per cent In nearly all industries;
when in 1809 we paid 709,000,000 more
of dollars to wags earners of this land
than we did in 1890, with the assured
certainty that they will still further In
crease, If we will only let our partisan
ship shrivel and our patriotism expand ;
are you justified in doubling If my at
titudo of yesterday hinders that increase,
I will flop until my position of today
shall be on that higher ground standing
a Kin which, humanity, from Ihe heights 1
t I li A A. ldi-l V ,.,Ai,n(.!r.. . d n I
wa in. w .IVI-.UIV Illi'UIII-lli. Ll CI , n II V.
visions of a more glorious future?
When I see the miners of the Hocking
Valley, ho received but forty cents
ton f jr digging coat, now receiving eighty
cents per ton fur the same work, and
with a proportionate advance in all the
bituminous coil fields, with steady work
for all, it is ta easy matter fir me to
a .
nop.
When I see the glass blowers receiving
from 20 to 30 per cent advance in their
scale of wages, ith steady employment,
for a continuation ofsich happiness for
them it will not be difficult for mi to
flip.
When I see the flig fired upon; when
I see the brave boys in blue, your
brothers, your sous and your sweet
hearts, shot down by men in ambush,
my sympathies go out to yon and to
them rather than to a Tagal savage, and
I have got to flop. And as I love my
country, my fellow men and my God, no
man will flop ahead of me.
When we see each mouth a surplus in
our national buget instead of a deficit:
when we see, instead of borrowing mouey
of England, as we did under the 'ast ad
ministration, we have loaned within the
last two years to Sweden, Kusaia, Ger
many and England more than $-00,000,-000;
when we see our exports doubling
and our imports dividing; when we tee
happy faces of a well fed and a well clad
citizenship, and contrast it with the
days of the Coxoy army of ttie un
employed; when the pinched faces of
hungry men and women and little child
ren, clad in tatters, in the biting blast of
the winter's stcrm, sought for cold
charity and cold soup in the soup houses,
let us pray that God In Ilia grace grant
that you and I shall never witness those
scenes again, but if we do, my earnest
prayer Is that lie may so guide us all in
His infinite love and wisdom that no
vote or act of ours, whether in public or
private life, shall he responsible for the
return of such conditions.

DEMOCRATS ARE
AGAINST BRYAN
McKialey for Best Interests of Couii'
try Leader on Subject.
Goldkxdale, Wash., Oct. 20. Demo
crats here and all over Klickitat county
are forsaking Bryan and his many isms
and are lending assistance to the re
publican campaign. One of the most re
cent and notable democrats to renounce
bis party's leades is E. O. Whitbeck.
Since his residence in Washington, Mr,
Whitbeck has been one of the pillars of
the democratic party. Well educated,
and thoroughly in touch with the issues
of the times, he was looked up to as a
wise counselor, and such he proved to be.
But he finds that his duty as a loyal
American citiziii is to leave his old
political associations and come out for
the best interests of the country, which
he Is of the opinion will be subserved by
Mr. McKinley's election. Asked as to
his reasons for change of.political faith,
Mr. Whitbeck said:
"I am an expansionist. As to the
Philippines, our whole policy turns upon
the answers to two questions :
"Shall we shirk the responsibilities
brought by the Spanish-American treaty ?
"Are the Filipinos qualified for self
government? "To both I answer, No. If correct, our
duty is plain. The insurrection must be
quelled ; order established, and the future
cf the islands consigned to tbe care of
congress. It is useless to theories or
picture Ideal conditions. 'An emergency,
not a theory, confronts us' ; and we mutt
rise to meet it. If there are no preced
ents, make them. If a colonial govern
ment is necessary, establish it. If the
constitution does not provide a suitable
means cf govtrun.ent, amend it. 'New
occasions teacti new uutiee, and if we
are to rite to the full measure of greatness,
ve must accept whatever mav come.
The future is uncertain, difficulties will
he encountered, and mistakes will be
made; b.it theee are no reasons why we
should shirk the responsibilities thr.t
come with progress. The Filipinos
should ntd will ho given all the liberty
comiett-nt wilh their civilization. The
laws of any country are In very close
touch with the public sentiment of that
conntry, nnd I cannot believe that the
American people will ever be guilty of
an oppression.
"Theee in brief are my views upon J
w hat are considered the vital issues of
the present campaign, and as they are
essentially republican I cast my lot with
that party and will support the republic
an cause until such time as my views
are more in accord with those of some
other party."
