whore Mr. McKinley -met General Otis
with thp utmost cordiality,, congratulating
him upon his apparent good health and
thanking him several times ftfr his signal
services to the country.
General Otls-tnade jio report to the Pres

rreslflx-nt invited General Otis Into his
office and. prewmted him to Senators Alli
son and CulVom and Justice Harlan, and
for over half an hour General Otis re
TOr"irtcd talWng over the situation in the
PJUHpplnejt. The President and, hb visit
or's were intensely Interested in what the
General had to say, and Ith his opinion
the -existing- situation In- thearrchlpel
'ngo. After General Otis left the White House
lie was naturally reticent concerning the
subject of Wis interview with the Presi
dent. But he did not hesitate to reiterate
nis statement, made repeatedly since land-
f San Frandsco. that the Filipino
rxobelllon, as an organization, is dead.
"When bis attention was called to the
T,r7 JudSe TafU- president of the

"The anriy." said he. "uill be needed as

territory than Spafn ever did."
General Otis ild" practically all the
headers of the Insurrection were either
4ead. captured or pacified. The recent
capture of PIo del Pilar, he thought, has
3ecn effected -with the consent of that
-General. So far as "Agulnalflo himself was
concerned. General Otis, was not inclined
to credit the report of hi death. In his
opinion. It mattered lirtlct however,
Whether Aguinaldo was dead or alive, as
his Influence had been completely de
stroyed. . "Aguinaldo." he sal3 "is probably in
hiding somewhere In the mountain of
Northern Luzon, but he carries little more
influence than anv other Individual at

Asked as to Whether. In the event of

durir the few days he has sat In the
Go'AJrnor-Geperal's chal?, has already
af rfponstrated that he believes In letting
tAe chiefs of bureaus do their share of
trork. He has handed over to the staff
officers of the department 'many matters
Which hae formerly been considered in
the Governor-General's office, giving them
discretion in the settlement of details and
only holding them responsible for results.
One of his first official acts was to placo
tho issuance of passes, such as permits
to go through the lines, or to be on the
streets of Manila after 10 o'clock. In the
hands of the Provost Marshal. During the
past 10 months General Otter aid, Lieut
enam Stanley, had sighed 45.000 of these
permits, and a large jiroportlon of the
applications had perbonally been consld
erM by General Otis.
Another order which met with general
approval was the appointment of Lleut-enant-Colonel
E. H. Crowder to be secre
tary to the Military Governor, with powers
5blch make the .office .one. of, Importance
fiecqnd only. to. that fit, the Governor in
civil affairs. . Among xho hraoches. of public
business which will come under Colonel
Crow dor's supervision nro the-Judiciary,
customs, revenue, postal and telegraph,
-treasury, auditors, municipal governments,
schools, public works, claims, prisons,
patents.
ColdheVOrowder was more closely as
sociated with General Otis in the civil
branch of the last administration than
any other officer, and General. Otis gave
great weight to his opinions. Before the
-organization of the- Supreme Court and the
ifijBtem of FlJIpmo Judiciary Colonel Crow
der was Judge-Advocate o the corps.
As a. Justice of the Supreme Court he
has done much to instil the spirit of the
American Judiciary Into that body, which
was not lacking In learning, but might
have failed In other important respects
but for such inspiration. At the same
time he has sen ed on the Board of Claims,
was a member of the committee which
devised the present system of municipal
covernments and helped to arrange the
recent re-vision of Spanish criminal pro
cedure. Major H. C. Hale, with three companies
of the Forty-fourth Infantry, has become
potentate of the Island of Bohol by peace
ful conquest. Bohol is a third as large as
the neighboring Island of Panay but had
no armed insurgents. It had, however, a
very completo and efficient little republic
of Its own, -which formed a part of tie
revolutionary government. m
When-the-troops landed -Aitthe princi
pal town, a body of local officials ap
peared and handed to their new ruler a
document which- was, .at first, supposed
to be an address of welcome. The paner
eel forth that the Senatq and Congress of
sonoi naa neJd a joint session, hearing
that the Americans were coming, that
the inhabitants could not offer allegiance
to the United States because that was
forbidden by "the Honorable Emlllo Ag
uinaldo, President of the Filipino Republic
and the lawful head of the state," that
Major Hale should first secure Agulnaldo's
permission, then the Boholenos would
agree to the occupation.
But, the address continued, the Islanders
were, unarmed, md Jn yinvf.Dt their poverty
resulting, from Injur blockade could not
be expected to attempt resistance. There
Yore the President and Congress of "the
Republic of "Bohol reiolved, flrst to avoid
anything which" might be' viewed as prov

received from the TillplniT Republic, and
to do ever-ythVpg necessaryln the Interests
of iawand prderj -pence 'and harmony.
Major Hale 'could do nothingness than
to meet so conciliatory a spirit half way.
He installed the insurgent officials as
servants of the United States with all
their paraphernalia of office, but to their

Apolonario Mablnl, the Premier of Ag
ulnaldo's Cabinet, who is not only the most
able among the leaders of the lnsurrrec
tion. but almost the only one whose hon
esty has never been questioned, has prob
ably finished his career. His friends be
lieve that he is dying. Mablnl remains in'
an American prison in Manila because
he has no where else to go. Before the
revolution he was a. wealthy man, as
riches are rated in the Philippines, but
all his money was invested in the cause
of "lndependencla." Recently, General
Otis offered to release him from the prison
in tho walled city where he has been
housed comfortably since his arrival in
Manila on condition that he would not
take advantage of hja liberty to incite
trouble.
"But X have not changed my convic
tions," said MablnL
The General explained that was not re
quired. Then Mablnl slid that he was en
tirely destitute and preferred to remain
in prison. Afterward, when his health was
plainly falling, General Otis offered him
a carriage for a dally drive. Mablnl re
fused It, replying that "I cannot accept
favors from the Americans."
Mablnl isa paralytic, although a young
man Thestfaln; ff his flight -with Aguin
aldo rf r-pnr Tariac was a severe one- and
now he cannot even rise from his chair
without help. Those who know him pre
dict that he will last but a few months.
He remains extremely loyal to his dreams
of an independent republic for the Fili
pinos, but more practical men like Buen
camlno scoff at him as an idealist vho
cannot accept conditions. .
The Manila newspapers are printing
much about the troubles incident to build
ing the great government Ice plant and
cold storage warehouse which has been
under jsray seVeral months, without re
markable progress. The architect of the
buildihg. Edward Barrath, of Chicago,
and Prank L. Strong, formerly an
engineer of the navy, were sent to Ma
nila by the Quartermaster General to act
as supervising architect and consulting
engineer.
General OUs detailed Major Roudlez of
the army to have charge of the work.
There was constant friction between the
Major and the1-civilian engineers. Finally.
Mr. .Barrath tendered his resignation. Maj
or Roudlez returned It with the statement
that the resignation was not accepted,
but that Mr. Barrath was discharged by
him. He also discharged Mr. Strong.
These gentlemen appealed to General Otis,
who declined j0 consider the question.
They have .returned to the United States
to. lay tho matter before the War Depart
'menC clofmlng that the Manila authori
ties, especially , Major Roudlez. had no
authority to discharge them.
The American, workmen employed on the
.buldlng jxre protesting because they are
compelled to work 10 hours a day in a
xroplcai country- The local papers are
protesting because the cost of the build
ing, half a million. Is charged to the. rev
enues of the. Islands. They argue that it
should be paid for by the United States
because it is to he used solely for the
storage of army supplies.
FILIPINO FINANCES.
Statement of the Rebel Government
Found.
MANILA, May 15. (Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) The Filipinos are
addicted to the preservation of their rec
ords, no matter how unimportant. Down
in A.lhayr province, out troops recently
pund;the yearly financial statement of the
rebel government. While It is thought
its figures are untrue, it is Interesting
.qsan, example qf how the rebels o busl
ness 'and -maintain -their prestige among
their people. In the balance sheet for
1S99-1900, the Insurgent Minster of Finance
states that during the year ISSS-1S97 the
expenses -of the Spanish Government in
-ndmlnstering-affairs 'amounted to $17,474,-
020, Mexican, but thanks to the capacity
of the revolutionary leaders, the total ex
penditures of the Insurgent government
for last year only amounted to $6,342,407.
"VA11 this economy was effected while the
Manila Custom-House, a most lucrative
source of Income, -was in he hands of the
Americans. It was promised that as soon
as the rebels gained possession of Man
ila, which would be in a few weeks, they
could manifestly reduce the rate of tax
ation. In the meantime, money was need
ed, and if was Incumbent on all good pa
triots to pay all tbe tax collectors asked
of them. With a few words describing
Agulnaldo's glory and Invulnerability and
the good time coming to everybody when
tho American? are finally driven from the
Islands, the Minister of Finance accounts
for his income as follows:
Income (all In Mexican currency)
Ordinary indirect taxes 432,050
Ordinary direct taxes 1.016.757
Special taxe S43.C00
Extraordinary contributions 4,060.000
, Toml $5,342,407
The item of "extraordinary contribu
tions" probably covers tho multitude of
forced payments not Included In the other
sources of Income.
The expenditures are accounted for as
follows:
.General obligations...., $ 2S1.5S3 00
Foreign obligations S9.0W 03
Department of the Interior 203.550 00
War and Navy 4,997.654 3S
Law and order 354.350 00
Public instruction 35.46S 03
Public vrorks 361.366 00
Agriculture, industry and com
merce 21.6CS 00
Total $5,344,729 33
The statement shows a deficit of some
$2000. The Insurgent government undoubt
edly handled considerable money last year,
but whether they collected $0,000,000 (Mexi
can) Is "not known to outsiders. Their ex
penses have been especially heavy m the
matter of arms. Filibusters and others
"have made them pay exorbitant prices for
everything.
Two of their Generals, Pana and Lut
banare. are said to have largo accounts
in the Hong Kong banks. According to
this annual report, the yearly pay of a
Lieutenant-General Is $720: a General com.
mandlng a division gets $600; a Brigadier
General gets $540: a Colonel, S4S0; a Lieutenant-Colon
el,$420; a Major Is allotted
.$360: a Captain draws $300; a First Lieu
tenant $240. and a Second Lieutenant's
stipend is J1S0. The wages of a Sergeant
are $72 a year, a Corporal gets $60 and
the man with the sun Is allowed $42 for 12
months pervJce to his country. This bal
ance sheet further makes provision for
22,000 soldiers, 8XW of whom are Sergeants
and 1800 Corporals, and the cost of keep
ing them in provisions for one year is
put down at $514,900 Mexican currency.

WASHINGTON, June 1L The following
undated dlsiatch has been received at tbe
Navy Department:
"Secretray of the Navy:. Forces landed
by the different nations are opening com
munications to Pekln. Americans joined.
"KEMPFF."
Admiral Kempff also reported the arrival
of the Monccacy at Taku.
The Navy Department later received the
following cablegram from Admiral
Kempff:
"Tong Ku. June 1L Secretary of tbe
Navy: In case all communications with
Pckln are cut, I am not able to go it alone.
If other nations go I will join to relieve
Americans, pending instructions. The sit
uation is serious. A battalion of marines
from Manila has been urgently requested.
Answer. KEMPFF."
Upon receipt of the above, Secretary
Long sent t)ie collowlng cablegram to Ad
miral Remey, at Manlm:
"Navy Department. Remey, Manila:
Stnd by Solace Immediately with all dis
patch to Kempff, 100 marines, arranging ll
practicable, that afterlandlng the "Solace,
shall continue the homeward voyage, as
previously ordered. LONG."
Minister Conger was heard irom again
today. His telegram was to the effect
that at Pao Ting Fu the foreign -missionaries
are safe up to the present, and the
Chinese Government has sent troops there
and promises ample protection to the mis
sions, though it is not thought that this
protection will Insure safety.
According to Minister Conger. It is im
possible at this moment to send any for
eign forces from Pekln to Pao Ting Fu.
Mr. Conger's doubt as to the permanence
of the Chinese ability to protect the mis
sions is in line with his previous expres
sions of opinion, indicating a belief in his
mind that a few Chinese Generals, who
are disposed to protect foreigners, are to
be overcome by the element at the Chinese
Court which is favorable to the Boxers.
Mr. Conger asked for .further Instruc
tions, and was directed to proceed with
energy In the protection pf American in
terests, and more especially with the pro
tection of the American Legation and the
lives of American citizens in China. He
was warned, however, not to be a party
to any alliance, combination or group of
powers. He was to act Independently
whenever this was practicable, although
he was not forbidden to take concurrent
action with other diplomatic representa
tives. If sudden necessity should arise for
It. He was to do nothing to commit the
United States to further action. Tho tra
ditional policy of the United States In
this respect was to be strictly observed.
The Naval officials say that the Nash
ville can scarcely reach Taku before Fri
day or Saturday next. Then the run up
the shallow and rapid Pel Ho River to
Tien Tsln will consume another day. The
Yorktown and Castlne, at Shanghai, are
rapidly being pat Into shape for sea. They
were undergoing repairs, but this work
doubtless will be hastened, so that If the
conditions become more grave at Tien
Tsin, one or both ships can reach there
from Shanghai even before the Nashville
arrives.
"WILL ACT INDEPENDENTLY.
America Has Gone as Far as Neces-
ary.
NEW YORK, June 1L A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The intervention -of-the United States In
tho Chln"ese crisis. Involving the represon
tlons already made by Minister CongeV
together with the action taken by Ad
miral Kempff, both under the discretion
allowed them by the President's instruc
tions, are declared officially to exhaust
this Government's resources, so far as they
can be applied at the present time.
Without a distinct change in National
policy, which Is regarded as most remote,
and except under gravely complicated In
ternational conditions affecting not only
the stability of the Chinese Empire, but
the equilibrium of Europe, the officers of
American agencies at Pekln and Tien Tsln,
as well as in future centers of disturbances,
will be limited to such efforts for the pro
tection of American interests as the parti,
cipatlon by Minister Conger in the in
sistent demands made by all the foreign
representatives upon the Tsung 11 Yamun
and the Dowager Empress for affording
security to the life and property of aliens,
and as the landing of armed forces and the
dispatch of gunboats to furnish the neces
sary protection In case of China's -failure
to comply.
Beyond this, it Is now clearly understood
In Washington, other nations propose to
go, perhaps at once, but the United States,
while entering the concert up to that
point, will act independently. It at all, in
proceedings which will probably lead to a
change of dynasty and perhaps a revolu
tion throughout the empire. It is prob
able, howeer, that -"whatever occurs, the
commercial interests of this country, upon
the baEis established In the written "open
door" compact, will not be modified, even
in case of the occupation by other powers
of all the remaining coast line and the ex
tension of spheres of influence beyond their
present exceedingly elastic limits.
The contingency of permanent territorial
encroachment is regarded as too distant
Just now to call for more specific expres
sion by the United States than has already
been given, for it Is believed the extensive
military operations by the foreign forces
around Pekln and Tien Tsln may involve
only a brief campaign, resulting in such
a salutary lesson to the unprogresslvc ele
ment of China a8 to permit prompt with
drawal after order Is restored. These op
erations, upon rather a large scale, it is
feared, cannot be avoided, but It Is unlike
ly that tho United States will contribute
ashore more, than 300 marines and sailors
to the combined forces. This number is
regarded as a fair proportion for the Unit
ed States to supply, considering the rela
tive number and valuo of the Americans
and property requiring protection.
If, as now apprehended, the anti-foreign
rioting is to extend beyond the small dis
trict of its present violence, and the wide
spread American missionary interests up
the Yangtse aro endangered, it Js more
than likely that Admiral Kempff will have
to spare much of bis available force in that
dlrectldn. v
The" battle-ship Oregon will be continued
in commission with barely one-third of her
regular complement, under the system
which worked so well In the last week
with the Indiana and the Massachusetts,
and only skeleton crews will be main
tained on the Monterey and Monadnock to
keep those vessels ready for an emergency
if the far East should require armored
ships.

dated Sunday, saying the American mission-house

of Pekln, has be.en burned by natives.
The dispatch further says the Interna

serious views taken of the situation, and

NEW YORK'S CENSUS.
Little Difficulty Experienced la the
Foreign Quarter.
NEW YORK, JUne 1L But five more
days remain for the taking of the cenouh
In this city. According to law the task
must be completed next Friday night,
when tho work of tabulating- tho return
'will begin. Supervisor Charles -S. Wil
bur, who has charge of the work In the
boroughs of Manhattan and Bronx, is
confident that his fdrce will finish its la
bors 1n good time, and in a manner which
will meet with approval. One-tenth of
tho districts in this county are complete,
and tho returns have been forwarded to
the Census Bureau in Washington.
Contrary to expectations there has been
but little difficulty experienced In getting
at facts from residente of the foreign
quarters district In the city. While mem
bers of the various foreign colonies were
at first .somewhat reticent, they became
only too willing to answer questions when
tho matter was fully explained to them by
the interpreters who are attached to Mr.
Wilbur's staff. There has been little or
no trouble in Chlna'town. The residents of
that section have readily given to the enu
merators the information -wanted. In Mr.
Wilbur's opinion this has chiefly heen due
to the Consular prpclamatlon which was
Issued by the Chinese Consuls-General In
Sari Francisco or.f this city In obedience
to tho commands of tho Chlneee Minister.
It Is believed that tho surprise of the
census, so far as New York Is concerned,
will be the great number of Italians re
siding in this city who do hot understand
tho English language. There has "been
a largo increase In the local Italian pop
ulation since the census was taken 10
years ago. There are three Italian settle
ments now in this country the old Italian
quarter in Mulberry Bend, one in East
Harlem, and one in tho Borough of Bronx,
situated In the neighborhood of Morris
avenue and One Hundred and Forty-ninth
street. From unofficial eources It Is learned
that there Is a larger percentage of Ital
ians who do not understand English than
any other class of Immigrants who have
located here.
Congressman Boutclle's Condition.
NEW YORK, June 11. A special to tho
Times from Washington says:
In making their calculations on carrying
the House of RepresentatUcs next Fall,
most of the Republican arithmeticians con
cede the probable loss of Boutelle's district
In maine. Boutellc has been renominated,
and will doubtless be re-elected, but his
condition is such as to make it very im
probable that he will be able to attend the
first session of the 57th Congress.
One of tho most slgniflcane indications
of tho general belief that Boutelle will be
unable to resume his duties for a long
time to come is the announcement Just

DONNELLY ACCEPTS IT
RELATION OF PEOPLE'S PARTY,
TO THE DEMOCRACY.
Money Questioa. From a Popallst
Standpoint Trusts and 'Hott He
fVoald Deal With, Them.
.HASTINGS. Minn.. June 1L Ignatius
Donnelly's letter o acceptance of the
nomination of the Vice-Presidency fol
lows: "Hon: M. W. Howard. J. M. Mallett
and W. S. Morgan, Committee, People's
Party Gentlemen: I have received your
valued letter of the 15th ult., formally no
tifying me of my nomination on the 10th
ult, as candidate of tho People's party
for the office -of Vice-President of the
United States. I acknowledge the great
honor done me In that nomination, and,
if elected, Bhall strive to discharge the
duties of- the position- to the satisfaction
of the whole country. I indorse every
word -of the platform adopted by the con
vention. Anxious to be brie, they did
not perhaps cover every question upon
which they were agreed.--
"Money is a necessity of civilization.
Without it the productions of the ' peo
ple cannot be exchanged. Wlthout-lt all
trade and commerce must end. If it is
furnished in insufficient quantities, .its
purchasing power increases, and the
prices of labor, and all commodities pro,
duced by labor, correspondingly falL The
rich therefore become richer and the poor
poorer. To supply the peopJe with money
is the supreme, function of government;
for the only end of government a ihe
prosperity and happiness of the governed.
Hence the Constitution declares that Con
gress shall 'coin money and regulate the
value thereof. And in the same section
it provides that Congress shall 'declare
War, rdlse and support armies,' and 'pro
vide and maintain a navy.' Congress has
no more, right to authorize private bank
ing corporations to coin money and Issue
It to the citizens, than It woufd have to
authorize similar private corporations to
declare war. raise and support armies
and provide and, maintain a navy.
"And when the Issue of the money of
tho Nation la left in the hands of private
corporations, whose interest It Is to make
it scarce, and. therefore dear, not a dollar
of it can come- to the people- across their
counters until some one borrows It and
pays, interest on It, The country -is then
in a: horrible" condition. It is as if we
were charged for the air we breathe. It
Is as if our army, controlled by private
corporations, refused to resist the In-vaders
of -our country until every citizen came
forward and paid them a private bonus
for defending his home.
"Originally all business was barter; and
gold and silver, valuable because the pa
gan priesthood adorned therewith the tem
ptes of the sun- and moon, became stand
ard commodities; and being compact and
portable, were finally used in making ex
changes, and called 'money'; and so de
scended to our own times. Lately, how
ever, a criminal conspiracy was organ
ized among the capitalists of the Old and
New Worlds to deny the moon's metal,
silver, access to the mints. They have
thu3 reduced tho metallic-barter basis of
all , business over all the earth one-half.
Political necessity has forced them, in
this country, to Issue paper banknotes to
supply this silver vacuum; but these are
only to reach the people by being bor
rowed and paid for, with more interest
and more eventual bankruptcy. And so
they have set the pyramid of currency
upon its apex the gold supply of the
world a cube about 27 feet square, which
all nations are struggling to secure; and
pow tho Inverted pyramid is tottering to
its fall, andi the bankers will ncarcely be
able to prop- It up until after tho next,
electloik. And when4t falls, mankind will
be overwhelmed with calamities, for which
history affords no parallel, While we re
gard the redemption of the money of our
country In gold and sliver as a relic of
barbarism and a survival of pagan super
stition, nevertheless, we demand that If
either metal Is so used, both shall be .so
used. If there Is to be a metallic basis
for our currency, it must be as broad as
possible.
"There Is no more reason for making
our money of metals than there I3 for
engraving our National bonds on plates
of gold, or printing our postage stamps
on tags of silver. When silver was de
monetized, it fell one-half In value; gold
similarly treated would shrink In the
same way. There is little intrinsic useful
ness in either. Civilization could endure
without both of them; It could scarcely
live w'lthout Iron or copper. In our Civil
War. Government paper money, without
bankers, saved-the Nation; and Its life
can be maintained, in" time of peace, by
the greenbacks.
"It Js a crime to compel SO.CCO.OOO of free
people to depend for the first essential
of human society upon a few thousand
bankers, who make the people pay heavi
ly for doing for them what the people
are abundnntly able to do for themselves.
The banker's note Is redeemable In green
backs. Why not then destroy the bank
notes and Tssue the superior paper the
greenbacks? The world is today trying
to solve the problem, Shall wealth or
manhood rule humanity?
"A great republic, based on the theory
of 'equal rights to all and special privi
leges to none,' and which, by Its Consti
tution, prohibits monarchy and aristoc
racy, needs a political party that is de
voted to liberty and nothing else.
Of what avail
Is flag or sail.
Or land or life.
If freedom fail?
"Can we reach the ends we have In
view through the Democratic party? Sup
pose that the old Whig party. Instead of
decently dying in 1S55, when it had out
lived Its function, had lingered superflu
ous on the stage, and the people of tho
United States had tried to use it as an In
strumentality to destroy slavery, could
they possibly have succeeded? No; they
would have found one-half of Its mem
bership favorable to slavery and one
half opposed to It; and Instead of reform,
we should have had continuous Interne
cine warfare.
"Slavery was destroyed by a party,
every member of which was opposed to
slavery. Plutocracy will never be over
thrown by the Democratic party, with its
head In Wall street and Its tail In tho
Mississippi Valley. We must have a party
dreadfully In earnest and in which there
is not a single plutocrat. If 10 horses are
hitched to the front of a cart, and 10
horses, equally strong, are fastened to
the tall end, will not the cart stand still?
Regret It as we may. plutocracy Is a3
much of a sectional question today as
slavery was In 1S56. It Is the battle of
the, money-lending region against the
money-iorrowlng region; the section
where the dollar Is bigger than the man
against the hsectlon where the man Is In
finitely bigger than the dollar. It Is
Threadneedle street against the spirit of
1776. Its roots reach down to the Issue of
monarchy versus republic; nay, they go
even deeper. It is the iorwara move
ment of God for the ble3slng of his chil
dren, against tho troglodyte In his cav
ern, cracking the leg-bories of his vic
tim, to extract the marrow for his can
nibalistic feast.
"The famines, the suffering, the strikes,
'the poverty, the wretchedness, the sui
cides of the multitudes, are all cannibal
istic; but the banqueters are better
dressed, than their predecessors of tbe
.caverns. They do not beat their victims'
"brains, out with, clubs they crush them
with laws and combinations, or petrify
them with false statements and false ar-
guments.
"This is a new country, based on a new
idea the sovereignty of the common peo
ple. Europe furnished us with our set
tlers, and now it is overwhelming us with
Its ideas. Aristocracy today rules the
I greater part of Europe and America, Our
Government Is a republic, and yet our
rulers have stood'silently by while a mon
archy has trampled the life out of two
of our fellow republics. In South Africa.
Give the People's party power, and we
will put a stop to this state of things.
War Is evil, but National degradation 13
a greater evil. "Better the eagle on the
mountain top "night famished in "the fel
lowship of storms," than the beastly rep
tile in the swamp, bloated with filth and
sleeping away Its wretched existence.
Abraham Lincoln spoke of 'keeping the
Jewel of liberty In the family of freedom';
btrt we have no 'family of freedom.
Everywhere the tendency is toward des
potism. "If this Nation Is to live, as a free re
public. It needs the People's party, with
its heroic breed of statesmen; who. aim at
eomethine higher than a squabble for
petty offices.'
'Tls not in mortals to command success;
But we'll do more we'll deserve It

OHIO DEMOCRATS.
State Convention Will 3Ieet at Co
lumbus Today.
COLUMBUS, 6;. June 1L The Demo
cratic State Convention will be -held here
tomorrow. It was at one time proposed
to hold the convention last week, while
Admiral Dewey was hers, but some of the
subscribers to the Dewey contribution
fund objected, and the plan was aban
doned. The Dewey decorations, exterior
and interior, however, still remain all
over the city. The hotels have large por
traits of Dewey displayed, and none of
the Democratic heroes except Bryan.
There is- much talk about Bryan and
Dewey being nominated at Kansas City.
John R. McLean has announced that he
must sail for Europe with his family next
Saturday, and that he cannot attend the
convention In Columbus this week. Mr.
McLean does not expect to return in
time to attend the Kansas City conven
tion. He would be placed at the head of
the Ohio delegation to Kansas City If he
would give his consent, but he declines.
absolutely.
Those who propose the combination of
Bryan and Dewey believe there Is no
doubt about the Admiral accepting. There
Js some diversity of opinion as to wheth
er this convention should take the Initial
step In indorsing Dewey a3 well as Bryan
for the National ticket.
The officers to be nominated in tomor
row's convention are Secretary of State,
Dairy and Food Commissioner, member
of the Board of Public Works and Jus
tice of the State Supreme CoUrt. For
each of these nominations there are sev
eral candidates. Four delegates-at-large
to Kansas City will also be selected. In
this connection, the names most frequent
ly .mentioned are those of ex-Congressman
Tom. L. Johnson. James Kilbourne,
Congressman John J. Lentz. Judge A. W.
Patrick. Frank M. Marriott, Herman
Groesbeck, William S. Thomas and Judge
E. J. Blandln. The hottest contest for
delegate-at-large Is between Congressman
Lentz and Colonel James Kilbourne, both
of whom reside in Columbus.
CLARK-DALY FEUD.
Sllverbow, Mont., Democrats Hold
Rlvnl Conventions.
BUTTE, Mont., June 1L The old Demo
cratic feud resulted today In a split be
tween the Daly and Clark people, and
two county conventions, each of which
will send delegations to the state conven
tion. The Daly people bad the party or
ganization and a majority of the regularly
returned delegates. The Clark people con
tested In a number of the precincts. The
Daly people contested but one precinct.
In this the Clark delegation was seated.
Upon the announcement of the result, tha
Clark delegates and the contestants left
the convention hall and organized a sep
arate convention. The Daly people con
tinued in session, elected delegates, and
In their platform condemned the methods
alleged to have been pursued by the Clark
people. , The Clark convention made a
temporary orgariizatldn and adjdurned un
