OR A PARTNER
Millionaire Walsh Goes in
Business With Leopold.
BELGIAN HAS MONEY TO INVEST
He "Will Speculate 1b. Americas.
Mines and Stoolcs Money Scarce
in Sweden.
JTETW TCKRIC, Oct. 2t A dispatch te
the World from Paris says:
A business partnership has been entered
into between Thomas Walsh, the Colo
rado millionaire, and Leopold, Kins: of
Belgium. Walsh attracted the attention
of financiers, "who sought to interest him
in various business schemes, among oth
ers Charles Naegelmackers, the Belgian
president of the International Sleeplng
3ex Company, which controls the train
de luxe service throughout Europe.
Through outside speculations the com
pany had become somewhat embarrassed.
Three months ago Naegelmackers , ar
xanged for a meeting between King Leo
pold and the Colorado millionaire at Os
tend. Walsh was requested by King Xeo
pold and Naegelmackers for his decision
in the proposed business deal, but the
American millionaire exclaimed:
"Your company may pay, under the best
conditions, 3 or 4 per cent. I handle my
capital in such a way that It brings in
10, 12, or even 20 per cent. Let us talk
no more about your sleeping-cars."
King Leopold, who, since the marvelous
recuperation of the Congo Free State,
owns enormous private wealth and is a
keen money-maker, upon hearing Walsh
descant upon and explain the possibili
ties of the kind of operations that are
familiar to American millionaires,
-changed his tactics, inquiring where a
tKing who had some little available
money himself could get in the American
field. Walsh, fearful of the whims of
such a lofty partner, was singularly un
responsive, and at first did not answer
the query. King Leopold, however, who
had already made exhaustive inquiries
In the United States and had received the
most Irreproachable replies concerning:
iWalsh's uprightness and financial solid
ity, had become favorably impressed by
the brilliancy, boldness and prudence of
the Colorado millionaire. He over
whelmed Walsh with such attentions that
the latter finally realized the advantages
of such a partnership, which, in addition
to bringing him high social distinction,
"would also provide him with unlimited
capital for the execution of some of his
vast projects.
After a few weeks consideration,
Walsh finally yielded through the repre
sentations of Naegelmackers, and con
sented to become King Leopold's financial
adviser and partner. Several contracts
have been signed, each intrusting several
millions of dollars in Walsh's hands. It
is believed that the operations contem
plated will be confined mostly to mining,
with some Incidental stirring up of the
stock markets, in order to bring to terms
those powerful financiers who have been
opposing Walsh's speculative operations.
i addition week. ' 2t will close Sunday,
November U. One day wiir be devoted to
-the poor, with, free admission. That night
the exposition will be illuminated, as on
special nights. It is expected that 1,000,
000 visitors will be present that day. The
American exhibitors generally are op
posed to the prolongation, as they have
made contracts and every other arrange
ment to remove their exhibits on the day
originally set for closing, and many of
them have booked their passage home.
Von Bnlovr's Policy.
BERLIN. Oct 24. Count, von Bulow,
the new Imperial Chancellor, while pre
siding yesterday at the Ministry of State,
made a long- speech, in which he explained
his alms and emphasized the indispens
able necessity of a strong1 and united
government in order to carry the demo
cratic policy which the country demands
and requires.

LONIDON, Oct. 24. "Great uneasiness

GENERAL LIBBER'S REPORT
MONEY SCARCE IN SWEDEN.
A Commercial Crisis Is Threatened
People In Desperate Straits.
LONIDON, Oct 24. A dispatch to the
Taily Mail from Stockholm, Sweden,
says:
The extraordinary scarcity of money,
"Which has been growing more acute for
a month, is so seriously affecting' com
mercial circles as to threaten a crisis.
The halance of foreign trade continues
against Sweden, and the repeated con
traction of gold loans abroad fails to pal
liate the situation. Industries are dally
launched, but adequate capital is not
available, and the newspapers are filled
with appeals from families in desperate
straits for money. Rural people, attract
ed by the Industrial activity, are flock
ing to the towns, and, consequently, the
demand for houses is so great that rents
have advanced 20 to 30 per cent. The
civil servants have already been granted
20 per cent Increase in pay to meet the
hard times, and it is expected employers
generally will have to follow suit.
The Storthlnsr Opened.
CHRISTIANIA, Oct. 24. The Storthing
was opened today with the customary
speech by the Crown Prince Gostavus,
in "his character as Regent. The Crown
Prince's eldest son, Gustaf, took the oath
of fidelity to the constitution. In his
speech from the throne, he made the
usual reference to the friendly relations
existing with other powers, and briefly
touched upon the Chinese troubles.
ADVrCES FROM THE ORIENT.
Affairs on the Asiatic Coast Reported
by Victoria Steamer.
VICTORIA, B. C Oct. 24. The steamer
KInshlu Maru arrived this afternoon -with
advices from Chemulpo that Mr. Sands,
the American advisor to the Corean court,
and Messrs. Bostwick and Collbran have
induced a number of pro-American Min
isters to assist them in the advancement
of American interests. Conferences were
held with the Emperor regarding the bor
rowing of $5,000,000 from America on se
curity of the customs revenue, but there
was a hitch and the scheme seemed to be
not made a success.
The Pekin correspondent of the Kobe
Chronicle says the object of Japan in
keeping the Fifth Army Division in
China was because of the failure of Rus
sia to abide by the proposal to withdraw
from Pekin. He praises the stand taken
by the United States, saying no one can
accuse her of seeking self-glory or grain.
In taking the punishment of rebels into
their own bands, the powers destroy any
semblance of any authority remaining to
the Chinese Government, and even If the
Emperor is withdrawn from the Influence
of the Empress Dowager, he will fall easy
prey to stronger minds. The correspond
ent fears that the powers, viewing each
other with suspicion, will be unable to
agree on so difficult a matter.
Worlc for the Year In the Depart
ment of Judge Advocate-GeneraL
WASHINGTON, Oct 24. General L16
ber. Judge Advocate-General of the Army,
in his annual report to the Secretary of
War Bays there were 66S0 trials by gen
eral court-martial during the past fiscal
year, of which number 35 were commis
sioned officers (11 regulars and 24 volun
teers); 4 cadets, 6618 enlisted men (5424 reg
ulars and 1194 volunteers), and 23 civil
ians with the Army. Of the commisslonea
officers 26, and of the enlisted men 6020
were convicted. A total of 25S0 men were
sentenced to dishonorable discharge, of
whom 2270 were in the legular Army and
215 in the volunteers.
Death sentences were imposed by sen
tence of court-martial in six cases of en
listed men one for murder, four for rape
and one for striking a superior officer.
The death sentences were commuted by
the President to discharge, forfeiture of
all pay and allowances and imprisonment
at hard labor for 20 years in five cases
and for three years in one cas that of
striking a superior officer. The death sen
tence was imposed by sentence of a court
martial in one case of a civilian employe
for rape and other offenses, which sen
tence, however, was commuted to Impris
onment at hard labor for 20 years. In
addition to the above, 5S persons were
tried by military commissions during the
year, of which number 42 were convictad,
15 were acquitted and in one case the
sentence was disapproved. Death sen
tences were imposed by military com
missions in 18 cases of natives of the
Philippines eight for murder" and rob
bery, four for murder and one for being
a spy. The death sentence was disap
proved in one case, executed in five and
commuted to Imprisonment at hard la
bor for 20 years in five cases, for 15 years
in one case and for 10 in another.
The Judge- Advocate-General's Depart
ment Is now composed of eight officers, a
force, in the opinion of General Lleber,
entirely insufficient to meet existing re
quirements. General Llebef recommends
the passage of a bill drafted by him "to
prevent the failure of military Justlco,"
which was favorably reported to the
House of Representatives at the first ses
sion of the 56th. Congress, but failed of
enactment The 'first section of that bill
prescribes a penalty for" civilians who
refuse to appear as witnesses before a
general court-martial of the Army when
properly summoned. Another provision
Is that regimental and garrison court
martials and summary courts shall not
have power to try special cases of com
manding officers. '
Response of the United States Is Still

American Troops.
WASHINGTON,. Oct 24. In view of the.
widespread comment that the Anglo-German
alliance concerning China was open
to the possible construction of an Implied
or Indirect menace or threat against some
other power Interested in the Chinese
question, the attenton of Count de Quadt,
the German Charge d' Affaires, today was
called to this point Count de Quadt said
that ho was able to give a categorical and
very positive statement on the highest
authority, 'that the agreement Involved
no menace whatever to any power con
cerned in China. He said this applied to

NEW YORK, Oct. 24. wl A. H. Martin,
of the University of, Pekin; who fa at his
home here, said of tho China problem:
"The best remedy for the situation is
th'e re-establishment of the young Em
peror, who possesses liberal and progres
sive ideas. If he cannot be put- on the
throne, one of two things will follow:
Erther native princes will divide the
country, or foreign powers will cut It up

two."

Return of Volunteers.
WASHINGTON. Oct 24. It is said at
the War Department that no plans have
yet been made for bringing home the
volunteer troops in the Philippines pre
paratory to their dlBoharge June 30 next,
in accordance with the law, but it Is
probable the homeward movement will
begin November 15 and be continued until
the volunteers have been landed in the
United States. There are nearly 33,500 ot
these troops, and their transportation
across the Pacifio will be an immense
undertaking.
additional features to the agreement be
yond those transmitted to the various
governments and made public. He said
that the document covered the entire
transaction.
The resDonse of the United States to
the British-German agreement, as com
municated by County de Quadt, is still
held in abeyance. It is understood that
with tho third article, namely that con
cerning the compact between Great Brit
ain ard Germany to take' suitable meas
ures in their" own interests in the con
tingency that other powers seize terri
tory in China, our Government will not
concern itself at this stage. It Is not ex
pected that our adherence to the arrange
ment would be required to take the form
of a formal signature or acceptance. So
it is probable that the answer to be made
by the State Department will not be an
unqualified acceptance of the whole com
pact, but only will treat of those por
tions of the agreement with which we
are directly concerned at present'
Based on General Chaffee's advice, the
War Department officials are convinced
that all the officers and troops included in
the order of evacuation have not only
left Pekin, but are now at Tien Tsln, or
near by. The Quartermaster's Depart
ment has made all arrangements for tak
ing them aboard ship, so there Is no
longer much danger of the troops being
prevented by Ice from leaving North
China. It is now said that In all prob
ability General James H. Wilson, the sec
ond in command in China, will soon bo de
tached, and will not remain In Pekin, ac
cording to the original programme.
Instead of having' the negotiations for
a final settlement conducted through a
fully organized commission In behalf of
the United States Government, as at first
proposed, It begins to appear that they
will be conducted, if there are to be any
formal negotiations, through the simple
mechanism-of the American Legation at
Pekin, proper credentials for the purpose
being dispatched to" Minister Conger.

Officials of the United Mlneworkem
Begin n. Conference in
Hazlcton.
HAZLETON, Pa., .Oct. . 24. President
Mitchell tonight announced that he would
tomorrow, probably late in the afternoon
or evening, issue a statement defining the
position of the United Mineworkers in the
present strike. He also said that his state
ment would, in all likelihood, Indicate
whether the strike would be Immediately
declared off or be continued. This an
nouncement was made as a result of to
day's conference between the National
and district officers of the United Mine
workers. The Impression around head
quarters tonight Is that the statement
will contain practically a declaration that
the contest is ended.
Coal companies controlling about 75 per
cent, of the anthracite coal product have
posted notices, but President Mitchell will
not say that all of them comply with the
terms of the Scranton convention. Tho
big companies In this district that have
not posted the notices are the Lehigh
Coal & Navigation Company, G. B. Markle.
& Co. and Coxe Bros. Co. The Markles
have granted no increase In wages of any
kind.
Today's conference was In session three
hours, and was adjourned until tomorrow
morning. President Mitchell, at its con
clusion, announced that the situation
was partly canvassed and that the review
would be completed tomorrow. The con
ference discussed plans as to what should
be done In the event of one or more 6f
the coal companies declining to grant the
demand of the miners, as set forth In the
resolution adopted at the Scranton con
vention. No definite conclusion was ar
rived at. Mr. Mitchell declined to say
whether the statement of tho United
Mineworkers that no man will be per
mitted to retur'n to work unless they all
go in together, still holds good. The
notices posted by several of the larger
companies In the Lackawanna and Wyo
ming regions today, announcing that the
mineworkers will be given Vfc cents on
every car or ton in order to make up tho
10 per cent increase, came In for much
consideration at the conference. When
the conference adjourned this evening this
matter was still under discussion.

DID THE VALET CONFESS?
Put on the Rack by the Assistant Dis
trict Attorney.
NEW YORK, Oct 24.-Charles P. Jones,
who was Millionaire Rice's valet, late
this afternoon was taken from his cell in
the Tombs to the private office of District
Attorney Gardiner. Jones was closeted
for more than a half hour with Assistant
District Attorney Mclntyre and Captain
McCluskey. It was rumored that he made"
a confession, but at the conclusion of the
interview Mr. Mclntyre said that the in
terview had nothing to do with a con
fession, but was in reference to another
matter on which he had at this time
nothing to say. At the end of the in
terview Jones was taken back to the
Tombs.
In the examination today the defense
made a formal motion to dismiss, con
tending there has been no evidence in
troduced to show that the signature of
the ?25,O0O check had been forged; that
there was no competent evidence that
it -was not the signature of Mr. Rice;
that assuming it to be a forgery, there
was no evidence that either Patrick or
Jones forged it; and that the presenta
tion of the check for a certification at
the bank did not constitute an attempt to
utter the check within the meaning of the
law, and that there was no evidence of
an Intent to defraud.
CHINA'S TERMS.
Proposal
hy Prince China: and XI
Hung: Changr.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24. A dispatch to the
Herald from Pekin, says:
A preliminary convention between China
and the combined powers has been pro
posed by Prince Chlng and Ll Hung
Chang. It Is as follows:
"Article I. Laying siege to the legations
of foreign Ministers is a high offense
against one of the important principles of
international law. No country can possi
bly tolerate such a thing. China acknowl
edges her great fault In, this respect and
promises that it will never occur again,.
"Article II. i China admits her liability
to pay an indemnity for the various losses
sustained on this occasion, and the powers I he knows nothing of affairs on tho islands
Conditions Bettered .Since This Na
tion Occupied Islands.
WASHINGTON, Oct 20. Less than a
month ago Jose Abreu, a lawyer of Ma
nila, and of one of the most Influential
families of the Philippine Islands, believ
ing that the United States will always re
tain the islands, came.-to Washington to
study law, and has entered one of the lo
cal colleges which affords an unsurpass
able course In American law. Mr. Abreu
is one of the many Filipinos who believe
that the. retention of the islands by the
United States is the best thing that could
happen for the people and the country.
Ho Intends to study American Institutions
and laws, and equip himself to live In
Manila as a full-fledged American citizen.
Mr, Abreu called on the President soon
after his arrival In Washington, and
talked with him for some time about con
ditions in the Philippines. Later, in. speak
ing to a group of newspaper men, he said
that the renewed fighting by the insur
gents was about the last stand of Agul
naldo and his officers, and was planned to
influence the comin'g election. "They
hope," said he, "that by making a few
attacks here and there, the American peo
ple will believe the lnsurreotion still ex
ists, and will continue. It Is all In the
hope that Mr. Bryan will be elected. '
"If President McKinley is re-elected the
rebellion will cease in a very short time
and peace will again be restored. The
better element among the Filipinos are
perfectly satisfied with the course this
Government has pursued since Its occupa
tion of the islands, and it is only among
a few that dissatisfaction Is felt" In
speaking about the visit of Sixto Lopez to
this country, Mr. Abreu says that he has
never been regarded very highly In the
estimation, of the better class of Filipino
citizens. Abreu scoffs at the idea of Lo
pez coming to this country for the pur
pose of acquainting this Government with
the conditions as they exist on the Islands
and of the needs of the Filipinos. He
says that Lopez has not been near the
Philippines for over three years, and that

"Article m. As to future trade and gen
eral International relations, each power
should designate how these matters are
to be dealt with, whether the old treaties
should continue or new conventions should
be made, slightly adding to the old trea
ties or canceling the old treaties and ne

may bo adopted and when China has ap
proved them, further special regulations

Ministers, and no other purpose, so when
the negotiations begin for treaties of
peace each power should first declare an
armistice."

Trade With Guatemala.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24. The recent
successful negotiations for the completion
of the Northern Railway of Guatemala
have had a stimulating effect on the peo
ple of that republic, according to a report
from Consul-General McNally to the
.State Department. The completion of the
railway, he says, will effect direct com
munication between the Atlantic and Pa
cific, and will no doubt attract shippers
in the direction of New Orleans and the
Gulf. Heretofore, while there has been
considerable Import trade on the Pacific
side, that on the Atlantic side has suf
fered, transportation being an Impossi
bility owing to the lack of railroad facili
ties from El Rancho to the City of Guate
mala, a distance of 60 miles.

TRUE AS IN 1896.
f
Dangers of Bryanism in White House
and Congress.
New York Journal of Commerce.
If Mr. Bryan is elected we have no
doubt that Congress will be controlled by
the sllverites. No one seriously doubts
that the party that elects the President
will elect the House of Representatives.
We have shown that nine of the sound
money majority In the Senate go out of
office next March, and are either bl
metallsts, or are from states that lean
to silver, and If sllverlsm carries the
country they will have to be sllverites, or
they will be succeeded by men who are
Replacing these nine men with sllverites
In two cases It has been done already
would give the sllverites a majority In
the Senate. -
Mr. Bryan's election will be a notifica
tion to the Nation and to the world that
the country has reconsidered its decision
in favor of sound money made four
years ago, and is either In favor- of free
silver coinage or is quite Indifferent
This is an announcement that the dol
lar of Its present value the gold dollar
will not continue to be tho sole standard
of value; the change may not be made
immediately, but if the country elects Mr.
Bryan President every one at home and
abroad will understand at once that the
single gold standard Is not to be main
tained, that no one knows what a dollar
will mean next year, or five years hence,
that the value of every piece of prop
erty and the obligation of every contract
and the real value of every savings bank
or other 'account, and every life In
surance policy Is brought Into question.
All the things that were said of the
danger of Mr. Bryan's election four years
ago were true then and are true now.
Gentlemen who denounced sllverlsm four
years ago and are supporting It now may
reconcile their conduct if they can; we
find it Impossible to understand how the
election of Mr. Bryan would have been
ruinous in 1S96 and may bo a matter of
comparative lndlfferenco In 19C0.
Mr. Bryan has promised to call a
special session of Congress for next
Spring in the event of his election to do
what It pleases he avoids saying what he
shall advise In regard to the Philippines.
If that Congress shall be sllverlte, as we
doubt not It will be If Mr. Bryan carries
the elecetlon, It will repeal the law of
March 14 and will open tho mints for the
free coinage of slver.
If that Congress shall be opposed to him
It would still be within the power of
Mr. Bryan to 'carry out the promise he
has made to pay the public creditor In
Bllver. The Government owns 16,000 000
silver dollars with which a good begin
ning could be made, and as fnst as
paid out it would return to be paid cut
again. The moment his policy was dis
closedindeed, the moment his election
was made known the payment of gold
to the treasury would cease. Silver dol
lars and certificates would become the
chief currency. Gold would be with
drawn and begin to seek recuperation
from the work ithas long done In a trip
to Europe. The law would command Mr.
Bryan to maintain the redemption of
legal tender notes In gold, but no ore
familiar with legal Ingenuity In the
presence of an obnoxious statute could
have, much confidence In the law of
last March holding out against Mr.
Bryan and his Cabinet. The payment of
expenses and interest in silver dollars by

Third and Washington streets, with little
delay and no particular difficulty, and at
an assessment of but $5 monthly which
all patients are. expected to pay the re
medial Inhalations and medicines being
all Included in that nominal fee-rate.
This may seem surprising. Doctors have
been complaining for a thousand years
that they couldn't cure bronchitis, but
this has been because they didn't know
how, or hadn't meanB for applying cura
tives locally. Bronchitis is a local malady,
directly accessible to curative Inhalations,
and the only effective treatment Is by an
in-breathlng of vaporized remedies ot
transcendent healing virtue till the sore
and Inflamed bronchial tubes are moist
ened by It, or soaked In It, or effectually
impregnated with it, for the period neces
sary to permanently allay its inflamma
tions and to permanently abate its pains.
The usual method is not to send heat
ing vapors down the windpipe to the
burning bronchia but to send arsenic and
opium solutions, etc., down the breadplpe
Into the stomach, thence to be carried up
and down the whole live body and b
diffused throughout the whole wide sys
temthe bronchial tubes receiving lnca
dentally only some faint. Infinitesimal pro
portion of the "medicine." Dr. Copeland
maintains that this opiating the entire
body to reach a cough and soothe a
sore spot In the chest this scattering ar
senic all through tho system to mend an
alrplpe and ease the breathing Is llko
giving pills to a cow .and drinking the
milk for colic. It Is like emptying ship
loads of drugs Into the Willamette till
all the hydrants of Portland run nothing
but tinctures and syrups, not so much ta
cure those who are sick as to sicken those
who are well.
This singular zigzag doctoring isn't tne
right way to treat bronchitis, which is
too firm- and formidable and stronglj
rooted a malady to be loosened or shakes
by any such foolishness, jt must be gox
at locally. Immersed in oily vapors and
cured somewhat as a boil or pimple is
cured by a covering of ham rat. It we eat
ra pork till the remedial grease oozes
through all the 750,000 pores of the body,
some of the hog-medlclne will, of course.
Incidentally reach and grease the sore.
This would be sacrificing the useful hu
man stomach and befouling gallons ot
pur and precious blood to cure a plm
pre; but the Idea ,1s the same as that ot
eating drugs to reach bronchitis.
There can be no adequate and effectual
medication of diseased bronchial tubes,
excepting by the method practiced by Dr.
Copeland and Montgomery. The healing
vapors which they administer by lnhaln
tlon are as balm and ointment poured
from a cup directly upon the fevered bron
chia. Their strong remedial virtues ar
not wasted and lost by being uselessly
diffused throughout the entire anatomy,
but reach the place of disease In their,
abundance and entirety In their full cu
rative potency like a benignant salve
upon an ugly wound. Drs. Copeland ana
Motgomery's easy and complete mastery
of bronchial catarrh la exciting National
interest and drawing great numbers of
sufferers dally to the Copeland Medlcai
In-nitute. It Is simply because the metn
ods employed are the only methods by
which the disease can be directly medi
cated with the freedom, fullness, potency
and abundance requisite to its radical and
permanent mastery.
These People Speak From Personal Experience
Mr. H. It. Long:, proprietor of the
American Laundry, residing at 2S0 East
Sixth street North, Portland: The Cope
land physicians understand their business.
Their treatment Is scientific, and the re
sult they obtained In my case Is both sur
prising and gratifying. If they accom
plish for all their patients what they ac
complished for me, It is no wonder that
their offices are always crowded.

on a salary. It costs but $3 a month, and
as this Includes all medicines, there Is no
other Item of expense. Thl3 reasonable
I charge makes the treatment a boon to
all wage-earners.
Rev. T. R. A. Scllwood, a -well-known
rector of the Episcopal church, re
siding at Mllwaukle: From my own In
dividual experience I regard the system
of treatment practiced by the Copeland
specialists in chronic maladies as the
very best. Their reasonable rates place
their services within the reach of all;
they are certainly public benefactors.
Captain Abe Tlchenor, 607 Everett

could riot breathe through her nose, one
was continually bothered with colds, and
a gagging and rattling In her throat The
Copeland physicians cured her. I cannot
too highly recommend their methods or
treating children.
Hon. J. C, Lawrence, Garfield,
Wash. : I have been familiarly acquainted
with the Copeland physicians and their
methods of caring for the sick for four
or five years. I am thoroughly convinced:
that their wonderful practice, which
stands without parallel in the Northwest,
Is Justly merited. It Is founded on sci
ence, economy and honesty, and must con
tinue to grow as the people become bet

Mr. A. A. Seagraves, proprietor of
the Occidental Hotel, Seattle, Wash.:
The Copeland physicians cured me. 1
cannot speak too highly of their methoas
and skill. Just think of It I A whole

Mr. J. A. HngheTi of the Huffhey
Shingle Company, Whatcom, Wash.: My
physician advised me to go to the Cope
land specialists, and they cured me. Their
total charge, Including all medicines, was
only $5 per month.

lungs left to llvo a good while yet if I would take
plenty of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, and take it
regularly. By this time I waa wi'lmg to do any

la not a whiskey doctor, ordered me to begin at
once with two tablespoonfnls aa a dose evrrr tno
hoars, day and night. I did so, and immediately
began to improve, and now, six weeks from that

The Conservative Tendency.
Boston Herald, Ind.
The trend of the conservative voters
of the country, which we noted last
week 'as setting strongly toward tho sup
port of McKinley, has been slnco that
time steadily on tho Increase until It Is
now taking on something llko the pro
portions of a tidal wave. If It were a
part of the policy of Mr. Hanna to have
It appear and gain In volume just at
this time as It has. the campaign could
nat have been better managed. The gold
democrats who were going back to Bryan
went In a body months ago, and their
tale has become an old story. As election
day approaches, the others are declaring
themselves, and theTe Is nothing left to
affect the weight and the Importance of
their numbers. But the cause of this, we
think, lies deeper than any political man
agement. It is the spontaneous outcome
of reasoning and reflection. Some of us
reached this position much earlier, but It
was .sure to come to the rest before elec
tion day. It Is coming now with a rush.
