Through an Lrror He Came to Attend Public Health Convention. Major Charles Richard, of the medical department of the United States army, arrived in the city yesterday evening and registered at the Denison. Major Richard 13 stationed at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., and came here to represent the government at the meeting of the American Public Health Association. Through an error Major Richard was ordered to report here on Oct. L On arrival he learned that the association docs not hold Its meeting here until Oct. 22. Major Richard during the war with Spain was In the . hospital service in the South. He did not get into the hostile country, and says he has no desire now to go to the Philippines. He has been in the army for more than twenty years, and in all his life has cast but one vote for a presidential candidate. His lirst and last vote was cast for Samuel J. Tilden before he went Into the army. Regular army men rarely ever get a chance to vote because they are scarcely ever at home. Major Richard says that had he been allowed to vote in he would have cast his ballot for McKinley. He makes the further assertion that the soldiers now in the United States service are loyal to the administration, and had they a chance to vote would probably show their loyalty by voting for the re-election of McKinley. Major Richard says he has never met a regular army man since Bryan has been running for President who expressed a desire to support the Nebraska candidate. Major Richard believes that every man who is to-day wearing a uniform in the United States army is with the administration in its effort to restore peace in the Philippine Islands. Major Richard will start back for Fort Leavenworth this morning, but will probably return here to attend the meeting of the American Public Health Association when it meets. FARMERS DOING WELL THEY HAVE SHARED L All GEL Y IX THE GENERAL PROSPERITY. Figures That Shovr W. J. Bryan Has Willfully 3IlatateC Facta aa to Agricultural Conditions. In his speech accepting the nomination by the Populists and Free Sllverltes at Topeka, Kan., Aug. 22, Y. J. Bryan said: "The prosperity argument which the Republicans bring forward will not deceive the farmer." Now let us see how the "prosperity argument" comes home to the farmer. If the crops Increase In value because the Republican party restored the protective tariff policy that started up the mills, reopened the factories and put millions of Idle men to work, thereby increasing the sale of the farmer's crops, then It has brought prosperity to the farmer, and no idle and false assertions to the contrary can obscure this great fact. Here are the figures for Indiana, the value of crops on Dec. 1 of each year being given: Crop. 1S33Corn t5.353.9T0 JCS.300.200 Oats 5,509,318 7.S89.287 Barley 3-5.503 68.985 Rye 220.103 223,024 Hay 15.353,371. 16,328,333 Potatoes 2,213.910' 3.532.13) Buckwheat 73,931 50.325 Total 543,766,106 C6,392,274 Increase In crops specified $17,626,163 Increase In farm animals 15.67S,060 Total SS3.204.22S The following figures are from the reports of the United States Department of Agriculture, division of statistics, and are official.

This total of 536.C2M97 shows the increased value of farm products in one year, lfcOO, over 1S06. How, then, can Mr. Bryan stand up and intimate to farmers that they have not received any share of prosperity? Add to the above figures the greater value procured by the farmers for their tobacco, troomcorn and other crops, atiu the year3 increase will reach fully a billion dollars. Farmers know that their condition to-day is better than when they were selling lOc corn and 12c oats during the last Democratic administration. sssBSBBBBaswsBssasBaBMBBaisMBMa9aBawaMBBsssBsi Death of Marietta Miller.

MISSIONARIES IN CHINA

RIGHT TIIEIIE BASED VVOS SITE. RIORITY OF CHRISTIANITY. It In the Duty of Christiana to Carry Their Religion to All Benighted Teonlc Other Services Rev. R. H. Moore, pastor of Madisonavenue M. E. Church, preached to a large congregation last night on the subject, "Are Christian Missionaries Responsible for the Chinese Trouble?" He said in part: "The kingdom of Christ Is compared to a 'rock of offense and a stone of stumbling Not that Christianity is an irresistible force, pulverizing every obstacle in the way of Its progress, but it is necessary for the progress of individuals and of nations. Christianity la in China at the command of our Master, who commanded us to go into all the world and preach His gospel. "The object of missionary work is not conquest, but the good of the people to whom we are sent. We desire not the territory and the wealth of the heathen, but his soul. Our only excuse for being In China Is the fact that China needs the Christian religion. If Confucianism was superior to Christianity it would be the duty of China to confer the benefits of Confucianism upon America. If Confucianism and Christianity were equally good we could have no right to interfere with the affairs of China. But as Christianity is superior to Confucianism it is our duty to confer the benefits of Christianity upon the heathens. OPEN TO OBJECTION. "Perhaps the methods of some missionaries Is open to objection. Individual missionaries may have been unwise in opposing Chinese customs and thereby created hostility to the Christian faith. Politicians have taken advantage of the presence of the missionaries to make unjust demands upon China. The death of a missionary or the destruction of a Christian mission has been made a pretext for demanding territory or other concessions from the Chinese government, but this should be charged to the greed of nations rather than to the church of Christ. Such objections, however, are superficial and offer no reason why the church should not carry out the command of her Master to disciple ail nations. "The objections, to missionary work in China are based upon a misunderstanding of the true object of missionary work and of the causes which have led to the present trouble in China. The present trouble In China is not due to a general hostility on the part of the people of China to Christian enlightenment, but to the fact that the rulers of. China have a motive In keeping the people In Ignorance and darkness. The present government under the Empress dowager is unspeakably corrupt, and is tolerated only because of the ignorance of the people. The young Emf eror sought to Introduce many needed reforms, but was soon checked by the Empress and her associates. These corrupt officials know too well that the presence of Christian missionaries means enlightenment of the masses. The present Boxer uprising Is due not. to a general prejudice against missionaries, but to the instigationof the rulers who desire to keep the people In Ignorance In order to continue their corrupt methods. BOXER CRUSADE. "The Boxers' crusade is not anti-Christian, but anti-foreign. The Chinese do not object to a new religion per se. Already three foreign religions have been introduced and have exerted a large Influence over Confucianism, which is the one native religion of China. These religions arc Taoism, Buddhism and Mohammedanism. Christianity as a religion or as a philosophy Is regarded with unconcern as only one more superstition or cult. Christian effort in China is no innovation. Nestorian Christians from Persia entered China in the sixth century. Marco Polo found a Christian archbishop at Peking Modern Protestantin has been In China for nearly one hundred years. Thus we see that the present uprising must be attributed to some causes other than the introduction of Christianity. The true secret of the hostility of the Chinese is the aggressiveness of Christian teachers and the greed of Christian nations. As proof of this statement note the following language by Sir Edwin Arnold, who is perfectly familiar with the situation: I am by no means one of those who have been Inclined to lay any part of the blame for recent troubles In China upon the heads of missionaries. On the contrary, I admire and reverence those devoted men and women many of whom I know are Americans and I regard them as taking to China precisely the commodities of which she stands most in need a spiritual religion and a morality based on the fear of God and the love of man. "Shall we take out of China our churches, schools, hospitals and asylums, while we continue to send to China our opium, whisky and the dregs of our civilization? Let us cease unholy aggressiveness and unChristian traffic and let us renew our mis sionary efforts until China shall be numbered among the Christian nations of the earth." REV. II. C. MESERVE BACK. Flrat Servlcea After Recovering; from a Lone Illneav. The' congregation of Plymouth Church welcomed the return of the pastor. Rev. II. C. Meserve, yesterday, after his long illness of typhoid fever in Springfield, Mass. The service last night, which was the first night meeting in many weeks, was very brief but interesting In character. Special music was furnished In the form of a solo, Hodge's "This Dream of Life," rendered by Mr. Morris Meek. The other numbers were sung by choir and congregation. The pastor announced that his address was without a text, but that its subject was "The Science and Art of Religion." He said that this topic was suggested by the physician who attended hlra in his recent illness. Doctor and patient held frequent conversations during the long period of convalescence, and in one of these talks the doctor told of a remark once made to him by an older physician: "Remember that there is an art as well as a science in medicine." Mr. Meserve declared that this is Just as true In regard to religion, and he defined the science of religion as being knowledge of God and of his will, and the art as being a personal carrying of that will or purpose into effect in one's daily life. The minister made an eloquent plea for more personal charitable work. He said In part: "Science may bo expressed by institutlonallsm, art by individualism. Science says, 'Put your money in the hands of the institution, put your time Into the hands of the institution, put your talents Into he hands of the institution, and through the Institution touch those who may be in need, and you can do much by co-operation and you can keep j our hands clean and you can go with those with whom you are accustomed to associate, and you need not deny yourself anything.' Science is institutionalise! ; art Is individualism. You cannot give without touching him who receives. You cannot pour out your life without feeling that it is pouring into some other life. You cannot give up something without feeling that your giving up has been for the benefit of somebody else. Jesus sent no man to take Hla place, but Jesus went to do the work His Father had given Him to do, and I think that you and I in our lives need more of the artistic spirit that subtle something which we are not always able to define, but which lies back of every true life and every true work. We need to touch our charities ourselves rather than touch them through an institution. We need to do God's work with a kindly word ourselves rather than pass It on to somebody else who will in turn pass It on to another until it reaches Its destination. We do need to give our sympathy ourselves at tlrst hand, by the flash of the eye. by the smile from the face, by the kindly word, by the real pouring out of the spirit of brotherliness toward the one that is in need. "No man can, however, be artistic truly who is not first In some sense scientific. No man can step out into the world to do an artistic work for God who does not have a reason for the fatlh that is in him. No

man can go out among men and touch men as men ought to be touched unless he has first come in contact with God and knows what God wants him to do. Man wants to know God, man wants to pour out his life in the presence of God, and when he has become God-filled, instead of self-filled, he is dominated by an artistic spirit, if you please, that sends him forth into the world to spend his life in behalf of others. "It Is after all not science versus religion; It is science and religion: and the man who is the truest scientist is by the same sign the truest man of God if he follows science in its proper course. There is no warfare between science and religion, for science leads man Into a deeper religious spirit and fills him with a truer spirit if he listens to the voice that is within him. It is lest you be satisfied that because you belong to a church or are interested In a church or because you are connected with some philanthropic enterprise, that I speak this word which will lead you to touch the artistic side of religion that is, the personal side and realize the fact that each one of you is called to some definite work." a SUNDAY-SCHOOL RALLY.

Governor Mount Made an Addreaa at Hall-Place 31. E. Church. Sunday-school rally day was observed at Hall-place M. E. Church yesterday morning. A fitting programme was carried out Instead of the regular Sunday-school lesson, the feature of which was an address by Governor Mount. The church was prettily decorated with potted plants and cut flowers, large clusters of green relieved by a plentiful sprinkling of bright colored petals being profusely distributed over the chapel. The attendance was unusually large, parents being especially In evidence. Governor Mount's address was received with much appreciation, his genial smile and his known love for children contributing to the effect of his speech. Governor Mount opened his address by expressing his fondness for children and the pleasure it gave him to speak to such an audience. He said: "Our eyes cannot behold on this side of heaven a more Inspiring scene, one that possesses such inspiring qualities, as this audience of children, of boys and girls, preparing themselves for a more thorough understanding and enjoyment of nature and God's laws." Governor Mount then Epoke at length about the influence of the Bible over civilization, saying no government or nation ever attained a high degree of civilization, in science or In art, without the Influence of the Bible being the prime stay and support of the race. In regard to the humanity of this Influence, he said it was the love Christ taught that prompted John Howard to Inaugurate a reform In prison rule and Florence Nightingale to minister to the suffering In the Crimean war and is the inspiration guiding Clara Barton in her philanthropical work among the soldiers of the recent and present war. In conclusion. Governor Mount said his personal observance of criminals in the penitentiary had taught him much regarding the necessity of early training In the Sunday-school, and without exception, when mothers came to him to plead for their sons, investigation showed there had been neglect in this essential preparation and a course In Sunday-school. He said it is a fact that the majority of the population of prisons and reformatories never had any religious training in youth, and attributed the deeds that brought disgrace to their families and ruin to themselves to the oversight of parents In not sending their children to Sunday-school. He said rarely a prisoner is found who has been surrounded with Bible Influences when he was young. CITY NEWS NOTES. The reception to Rev. Dr. Lasby, postponed from last Friday night will be held this evening. Dr. M. Small and Harry A. Grabhorn, of this city, have written a patriotic hymn called "Wave the Flag of Glory." Inspections of September. During the month of September Inspectors of the Board of Trade Inspected 150,750 bushels of wheat, against 69,000 bushels in September, lS99:- cornr 670,750 bushels, against 569.S00 bushels In September, 1899: oats. 163.750 bushels, against 128,000 bushels in September, 1S99, or 855,250 bushels of the' three cereals, against 766.800 bushels September, last year. Attacked by Gang of Boys. John Kendall, living at the Hamilton House, on West Market street, was set upon by a gang of boys last night on West Washington street and severely beaten. He escaped and went to the office of EIsenbels5 & Kar sehn er, where several gashes in his head were sewed up. He claimed not to know why he was attacked. The boys escaped from the police. The Presldent'a Course la Right. Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.) While there has been a general expression on the part of Democratic as well as Republican papers in approbation of the administration purpose to withdraw as cuickly as practicable from the Chinese entanglement, a Republican Jingo or two show dissatisfaction because it Is feared the "backing out" will be turned to the disadvantage of the party in the campaign, t.nd about the same number of Democratic papers justify the fear by Intimating political cowardice as the cause of the administration's course. It is to be regretted that any paper professing to apeak for the Democracy should take this ground, but it Is satisfactory to Vnow that such cases are the rare exceptions to the general tone of the Democratic press. Even if such were not the case the judgment of the Plain Dealer would not be affected. Political prejudice and campaign exigencies should have no weight in this matter. The only question to be considered is whether the course taken by the administration is for the best interests of the country, and If It Is, the fact that It may possibly help towards the re-election of the President ought not to deter an independent paper from commending it. Whether political considerations have had anything to do with influencing the President's courso In seeking the shortest way out of tho Chinese entanglement is not to the point. The course itself is right, and the President is entitled to full credit for it, regardless of Its effect on the political campaign. Politics and Strikes. Galveston News (Dem.) Admitting that the miners have grievances which should be corrected, admitting, for that matter, that all their assertions are true, still, considering the record, the present state of the political campaign and other conditions and evidences, one gathers that the movement to bring about a strike at this time is largely a movement of politicians who seek benefits for themselves at whatever cost to others, and who are regularly engaged in this method of creating trouble for campaign purposes. There certainly seems to be no room to doubt that recent labor troubles in both St. Louis and Chicago have been encouraged by certain of these desparate self-seekers in efforts to secure political advantages. Under all the circumstances it is at least in order to warn members of trades unions against demagogues who stand eager to misuse thern and then leave them adrift and grievously discredited before the world. It la quite as much In order to warn party leaders that they risk the condemnation and defeat of their ticket every time they resort to this low method of promoting discord, distress and insurrection among workingmen or other citizens. It is a low and base business which every respectable voter should stand ready to condemn at the poll. The Great Unknown.

TO COMBAT BRYANISM

CHICAGO BUSINESS MEN AND MANUFACTURERS ARE ORGANIZING. Dankcra Taking; No Risk and Shortening Sail Vntll After the Election Democratic Treacher Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CHICAGO, Sept. .-Manufacturers and the general run of business men have been given warning that It is time for them to wake up and take a lively interest In the presidential campaign. The warning comes from a source which commands their attention and which insures action. It comes from the banks and is In the shape of Information that prudence requires the collection of outstanding loans and the upbuilding of reserves to provide against election emergencies. The customer on going to his bank to make arrangements for renewals of loans or enlarged accommodations is told that the situation Is sufficiently full of uncertainties to compel caution and that the policy of the bank forces a curtailment instead of an extension of credit. "We don't know what use we may have for our money after election," says the banker. "If Bryan should be elected we must be prepared to meet any demand that may be made upon us. It la morally certain that a grat many people will be frightened and withdraw part or all of their funds from the banks, hasten to get rid of undesirable securities and prepare themselves for a storm. We cannot, as prudent men. Ignore this possibility and will have to decline accommodations at this time; not only this, but we will have to ask you to reduce the amount of your loan. We will be sorry If this inconveniences you. but we have our own safety and the safety of our depositors to think of and are forced to take the position we have. Were we unmindful of the danger attendant upon a change In governmental policy at this stage, we would be criminally Incompetent. . We would suggest that you put your own affairs in shape to withstand a period of hard knocks and when you have carefully considered the situation you will recognize that In cautioning you we are doing you a favor instead of subjecting you to unnecessary trouble and Inconvenience." The first steps towards an organized business men's movement were taken at a meeting two or three days ago, at which ex-Controller Eckels sounded the keynote. The significance of that meeting is as yet only dimly realized by the Bryan managers. They look upon It as a mere formal affair, got up chiefly to furisli Mr. Eckels an excuse for making a series of campaign speeches, which he has had In contemplation for some time. Nothing could be further from the mark. The local purpose of the meeting was to organize the business men and to plan for a grand industrial demonstration as near like the recordbeater of 18S6, as It is possible to attain. The demonstration may be made a week or ten days before the election. In 1896 over 100,000 men marched In the procession which was nine hours in motion. The design is to have a display this year which will be equally impressive as a campaign climax and which will convince wavering voters that popular centiment is for a continuation of existing conditions and against speculative departures from ascertained safe lines. The movement by bankers, manufacturers and business men, though at present local, will coon extend to other cities. These forces have already begun organizing to sweep back the flood of Bryanism and there Is no reason to believe they will be less earnest or less powerful now than they were In 1S96. Chicago, being the greatest Industrial center west of the Alleghenies, feels the lmpulso of this movement first. The developments of the movement here will, therefore, be watched by the country at large with curiosity and Interest as peculiarly significant and reflective of the situation at large. Locally Bryan la at a disadvantage In Chicago. The Intrigues of local politicians are working to his palpable Injury. The Chicago Democracy is making quite as much as the usual noise, but behind it all there 1 a lack of sincerity and earnestness. The machinery Is in control of Mayor Harrison and a great majority of the local leaders are in a combination to .defeat him when he comes up for re-elec tion next spring. They are, therefore, covertly plotting to throw the odium of a defeat this fall upon him. The inside tip lias passed along among the knowing ones in the Democratic camp to scale down their contributions and above all things to make no bets on the local ticket. A leader of the anti-Harnson wing of the Democratic party who was asked to-day for letting advice by a friend and buslnesä associate, said: "Keep your money in your pocket and then you will have more to buy coal and sealskin sacques. We are making big talk but it isn't on the level. They've got us skinned to a finish." Party treachery in the Democratic camp in Chicago will, of course, militate against the Bryan national ticket and will contribute in no small degree to minimizing the efforts of the national committee to make a killing In this city as they had hoped to do. W. G. NICHOLAS. NAVAL ESTIMATES. Secretary Lonsr Preparing nia Report for Consideration by Congress. WASHINGTON. Sept. SO. In anticipation of the assembling of Congress two months hence Oct. 1 has been set as the time for receiving the annual reports of naval bureau chiefs, outlining the work to be done during the coming year. Most of the estimates are completed ahd In the hands of Secretary Long and more detailed reports will go In within a few days. Until they have been gone over by the sectetary no authentic details are available. In the main, however, they are understood to involve little In the way of extensive or new projects and to cover only the usual requisites of the service year. The chief item as usual is that for the Increase of the navy, covering both construction and engineering work on- ships already authorized. This will be in the neighborhood of $20,000,000. In the branch of yards and docks it is understood the total will be not far from $13,000.000 and will not involve any additional drydocks or expensive changes in our naval stations. In addition to the foregoing item for the Increase of the navy there is the usual sum for re pair of vessels already In service, which is a considerable item, amounting to approximately $7,000.000. In the branch of steam engineering the estimates do not go beyond the requirements for carrying forward the regular service. The item of armor and armament is of special interest In view of the controversy on the cost of armor, but the future course regarding mis proDaDiy. win aepena considerably on the result of the present efforts to get armor within the rate fixed by the last Congress. A Year's Naval Developments. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3).-The naval annual, just published by the office of naval Intelligence, contains, among other Interesting articles, one by Lieutenant W. L. Howard, summarizing compactly the in crease of naval strength effected during the past year by the great maritime powers. A topical article of value is contributed bV Lieutenant L. R. De Steiger, on the subject of wireless telegraphy. This recites Just what each of the naval powers has done toward the utilization of Marconi's discovery, and embodies a thorough review of the state of the art of long distance wire transmission by a competent German authority. In general. It appears that the experiments have resulted satisfactorily, and the British army in South Africa, by the use of kltea for the vertical wires, have managed to transmit messages a distance of elghty-flve miles, or more than ten miles further than the distance which eeparates Tien-Tfln from Peking, which still proves to be impracticable for ordinary telegraph methods.

Serious Conflict Between the Police and Populace at Lima. LIMA, Peru, Sept. CO. Owing to a lack of prudence on the part of the police authorities of Lima a serious conflict took place this afternoon In the principal square of the city between the populace and a force of mounted police. So great was the excitement that the cathedral bell rang an alarm. Some of the leading journals of Lima urge President Romana to follow the example of MM. Casimlr-rcrier and Grevy, former presidents of France, and resign. Former Minister Belaundo Is a prisoner in Fort Santa Catalina. According to a dispatch to the Associated Press from Lima, dated Sept. 29, there was much excitement there over the fact that advices received at the Peruvian capital showed that one of the Paris houses on which former Minister of Finance Belaundo had drawn for about 500,000 francs to be used in part payment for arms purchased in Belgium had failed to meet the first bill due and could not meet the others maturing Saturday. The dispatch said also that the ministers of finance and war had resigned their portfolios, and that the Cabinet was still incomplete. AFTER AMERICAN MONEY ARRIVAL OF COL. LYNCH, WHO FOUGHT WITH THE BOERS. Commander of n nrlgaUe Wnnti Fnnds, and Will Stay Until the Election, Denouncing England. NEW YORK. Sept. 30. The steamship L'Aquitalne arrived at her dock to-day, bringing 1.675 passengers, 704 of whom were in the cabin. The vessel experienced rough weather and much fog. Col. Arthur Lynch, formerly in command of the Second Irish Brigade In the Boer army, was a passenger. Colonel Lynch resided In Paris and he returned there after the Irish Brigade In the Transvaal was disbanded. He said: "I have come here in behalf of the Wolf Tone and Committee of 1S9S Memorial Association to collect funds for tho Wolf Tone monument. I will also while here write for the Revue de Paris and will lecture to set the Boers right before the people of this country. I will stay until after the election. "I hope and expect that President Kruger will come to this country and that he will make a great impression on the American people, and that they will see that the grand old leader of South Africa, so scoffed at and maligned by the English press, is not only one of the grandest figures of our time, but is also one of the most advanced. I believe Kruger has the qualities that will appeal to the people of this country, for he has a simplicity of manner, a strength of mind combined with an inflexible purpose. I will not compare Kruger with Rhodes and will not deny that Rhodes is a great man, of capability and power, who has conceived a great purpose and carried it to fruition. It says much for the ability of Kruger that standing at the head of such a small people he has made a fight so long against Rhodes, backed by all the power of England, stooping to every act of injustice, treachery and lalsificatlon. "I want to shatter the lies of the English press and I think that I shall be successful here, for the American people, with their great regard for Justice and liberality, which has made this Nation the example for all others, will not submit to see a young republic blotted out." Speaking as to hia experience in the South African war Colonel Lynch ?aid that his most thrilling experience was at Elandslaagte after Buller had relieved Ladysmlth and had come up towards Dundee. "I was under Gen. Louis Botha and went down to attack the Kncllsh ald he. "There were about fifty of my brigade all told and we were sent forward to occupy the most advanced kopje, where- we were under the English fire. Not only that, but they were supported by three cannons. We replied with Mausers and drove them off, but could not dislodge the guns. Seeing this I ordered the men to move to another part of the field, and to make this possible we had to pass over a nek of which the English had the exact distance. We were in full view of the English gunners but 3U0 yards away. So great wts our danger that I ordered the men across singly. Two horses were killed, and as I was crossing over a shrapnel burst over my head. It was a terrible experience. The air was filled with missiles and I thought for a moment the end of the world was here. However, I escaped without injury." Canadlana Sail for Home. CAPE TOWN, Sept. SO. The Canadian contingent, under Colonel Pelletier, sailed to-day on board the transport Idaho. The people of Cape Town accorded them a rplendld impromptu reception, the mayor voicing the thanks of the city for their brilliant services in the field. IX I1RYAVS OWN" COIN. Debalam a N'ntnrnl Outcome of II -ynntsm. Kansas City Journal. The Democratic national committee has made an unpleasant discovery. It is that Eugene V. Debs, candidate for President on the Socialist ticket, will be a considerable factor in the State of Indiana, pollling perhaps as many as 10,000 votes, it is also conceded that Debs's support will be drawn mainly from those who, but for his candidacy, would vote for Bryan. As Indiana is regarded as a doubtful State which, under certain circumstances, might decide the presidency, the Debs movement has become a matter of grave concern to the Bryan leaders. Upon making this discovery, the Democratic national committee at once resolved to ask Debs to withdraw in Bryan's favor. Failing to persuade, a part of the great slush fund raised by Croker, Senator Clark and other philanthropists of like character was offered to the candidate of the Socialist party. It is said that refusal was made in such terms that there is no possibility of a renewal of the offer. Should Bryan lose Indiana solely through the support that has been diverted to Debs, it would be virtually paying him back in his own coin. Dcbslsm, as a considerable political factor, would have been impossible but for Bryanism. Socialism is, of course, the older ism of the two. but the attachment of Bryanism to one of the great parties of the country has spread and popularized a radical sentiment uion which the still more radical conceptions have fed and flourished. It is inevitable that some of the radicals should prefer more extreme doctrines and distinctively independent organisation; hence the rise of Debsism. His Paper Wan to Illame. Chicago Post.

It may not occur to the casual reader that the responsibility lies, not on the reporter, but on his superiors who gave him his instructions. The chances are that the poor fellow merely followed general orders to report everything from a blatant partisan standpoint, to turn everything to the disadvantage of the opiKjsition; and to send "hot campaign stuff" if he wished to retain his idace on the paper. It is customary to make the reporter or correspondent the scapegoat in such cases, although nine times out of ten he is a good deal more ashamed of his paper and his mj!ojTH than he is afraid for himself. The "cimpaign reporter" deserves not only our prayers, but our sympathy and consideration. Think of this, all you who stay quietly at home, free from temptation and the strenuous reportorlal life, and privileged to say what you think and tneak what you knov aXCLH SAM AS A LAND OlVMIIt.
