When General Henderson finished his survey of the several thousand upraised hand, he exclalrmd with a pleased smile: "That settles It. Charley Landis is elected." VIGOROUS TALK. On the subjects of imperialism, expansion and militarism. General Henderson spoke with vigor and eloquence as follows: "Four years ago Colonel Bryan had one Issue. In this campaign he has a triplet and has thrown his M-to-1 Infnnt of four years atro apparently into the lap of Tree Kilver Republicans to try and hold them to his sinking ship. "Behind his three-headed monster, the triplet, he seeks to recapture the sound money Democrats who left him and also .to conceal the infant of four years ago. Unless he was false to his heart's core, four years ago, the setting of his 16-to-1 Infant on the financial throne is his real purpose in this campaign. vNo talk about a Vramount Issue can obscure this purpose. It will deceive no one that the Kansas City convention puts the currency question at the tall end of the plat- . form which contains twelve distinct propositions, for this platform distinctly reaffirms and Indorses the national Democratic, platform of ISO, and also has this declaration. And as part of such system, demands the Immediate restoration of the tree and unlimited coinage of silver and fold at tho present legal ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or conent of any other nation.' This Is declarea for. Kvery element of the platform of liW Is reiterated by the Bryan platform cf this year. "In Colonel Bryan's speech at Milwaukee on Sept. 8 he emphatically states: 'The losItion of the Democratic party on the money question Is known. It has undergone no change. This utterance I think was forced from Mr. Bryan because charged with cowardice and deceit in the treatment of the money question and the devoting of his time and strength to the bogus 'paramount issue.' "But let us Iook at the 'paramount Issue' of the popullstl'j Democracy. The line of reasoning, I take it, is after this fashion: First, the Republicans want to make an Imperialistic government; second, to accomplish this they must expand and take new territory, and third. In order to do the second they must increase and keep a large standing army. IMPERIALISM. "What is Imperialism? Mr. Worcester defines it as 'imperial power or authority; lmperlality.' Imperlallty, he says. Is 'imperial power, authority or right; Imperialism.' Imperial he defines as 'relating to an emperor or an empire;' also 'pertaining to a monarch or to a monarchy; royal; regal;' also 'betokening royalty; marking eoverelgnty; also possessing supremacy; supreme.' "I challenge Colonel Bryan to state a sin- , gle fact In connection with the acquisition ' of territory under Republican rule to Indicate any of the purposes of imperialism as defined by Mr. Worcester. When the war with Spain was commenced, does Colonel Bryan contend that it was In the brain of the President, of any of his Cabinet or any member of Congress to take the Philippine islands at all, saying nothing of adding it as a part of the United States? Was Porto Rico thought of. or the Islo of Pines, or any part of the Ladrones? On the contrary, when we learned that Dewey had crippled Spain at the Philippines there wa.? a general reading up throughout the United States to know just where the Philippines were. Porto Rico we all knew something about. When any one asked mew here the Ladrones were I confessed that I was helpless. "The American people, having observed the atrocities in Cuba, had been for months aroused to a high pitch of excitement and disgust toward Spain and entertained the kindest and warmest sympathy for the suffering people of Cuba, and when the Maine was destroyed in Cuban ' waters the Niagara of indignation was irresistible In the Republic. We saw that the Spanish cruelties in Cuba were in keeping with the barbarities of the Spanish Inquisition. Americans in Cuba were arrested, imprisoned and killed. The American borders and commerce were disturbed and the blowing up of the Maine was an insult to our flag and a blow at every American. Then the Nation, with united voice, said Strike ! Was it to clothe the President with the robes of monarchy? If ever

war began, impelled by lofty and unselfish motives. It was tho war against Spain. In the declaration of war we said that 'the .United States hereby disclaims any dispo sition or intention to exercise sovereignty, Jurisdiction or control over said island, except for the pacification thereof, and tisserts its determination, when that Is accomplished, to leave the government and WEATHER EORECAST.

control of the island to its people Does thit imack of Imperialism. Colonel Ilryan? POPULIST THEORIES. "I would like to know the theory of our Populistic friends as to war. It means strike whenever you can hit a destroying blow until the enemy surrenders. We struck In the Philippines where a Spanish fleet was located. We struck another fleet at Santiago near the shews of CuJa. The foldlers which we authorized the President to use struck at El Caney, at Santiago and at Manila, and Spain was at our feet. Who questions the propriety of any of these blows In order to carry out the purposes of our declaration of war? Was there any Imperialism In ii.7 Was there any thought of expansion In it? Was it for the purpose of building up a standing army in the United States? Answer 'yes.' and become the laughing stock of the Nation. "Now. however, we come to what seems to trouble Colonel Uryan. In tho closing up of this war the United States was left in possession by absolute, unquestioned title, a title recognized by all history and the laws of nations, of Guam, of Pprto Rico and of the Philippine islands. We took them in war, we took them by treaty and they are absolutely ours, Spain passing over to us a sovereis?nty which she had enjoyed for three hundred years, never disturbed but once and that only briefly by Great Pritaln. Gn the theory of my friend. Colonel Pryan, we should surrender the Philippines; it is lmncrialism and expansion to retain Guam: It is equally as horrible to keep Porto liico. If his criticism is just we ought to give back to Spain the two fleets destroyed at Manila and Santiago, and since the carelessness of our navy makes It Impossible to restore ,them in kind their equivalent in cash I doubt not would be suggested by Colonel Bryan, certainly so. if his line of reasoning is followed to ultimate conclusions. Since, then, none oi these islands were taken for the purpose of adding empire dr monarchical or supreme r'er, r of giving this country an imperialistic standing amoncr tho nations of the world, but are the legitimate, honest fruits of war, no Imperialism can be charged against this country or the Republican party. "For one member of Congress when I voted for the declaration of war and voted to carry it on, and for soldiers to fight,, the thought of adding power or territory to this government never entered my mind and I doubt if any member of either House of Congress can say otherwise than I say now. Kxpanslon never entered our minds. The possession of new lands or Islands never entered our minds. For one, these having come rightfully into our possession, I intend that this government shall hold them until It is for our interest and the interest of their Inhabitants to dispose of them. These being ours the man quibbles with truth. Insults truth, when he says that to have a sulllclent army to maintain our rights in these islands is militarism. No Republican wants to build up a great standing army in this country. I have always been against having one more soldier than was absolutely needed to properly maintain the rights and dignity of the Republic and I believe that my feelings rellect the overwhelming sentiment of the Republican party. Col. Bryan knows that it i3 not in the breast of any man in this Republic to oppress the Filipinos or the Porto Ricans. lie knows that it is the purpose of us all to so exercise our power and sovereignty as to benefit the people everywhere living under the flag of our country. THE FUTURE." "What we shall do in the future with our own people or with these new peoples I cannot say. Put we will do our best for both. We have millions in this country who are governed without their consent, who are denied representation in Congress. That this must be righted I believe. That it will be righted I am sure, but just how or when I cannot -so-. That we have been good to . Porto Rico and will do still better for them I know is true. That we will lift the Filipinos to a higher state of civilization I am absolutely certain. If I am asked, 'Will we ever grant the Philippine islands independence?" I answer, I do not know,' but this I know that when they are fit for it and desire it, and when it i3 for their interest and ours to give them independence, the American Republic will give it to them, but certainly not while in their present ignorant and semi-barbarous condition; certainly not while the authority of the United States is defied by a lot of bushwhackers, guerrillas and murderers; certainly not at the dictation of one of eighty tribes of people, that one tribe exercising as much cruelty on the citizens of that island as Spain ever treated them with. The future of any people under the flag pf liberty, the flag of our country, is a safe future, and we know that this Nation will do its duty in the present and in the. future. "Imperialism was never the motive for war and Is not now. Expansion never entered our brains nor does it now. Militarism is far from the Republican mind and from the American mind. These campaign tricks, this three-headed monster is but the screen behind which the politician fights for power. "I have not touched . upon the benefits that will come to us as a nation growing out of the war with Spain, but I believe that they will be many. A few moments spent Wi the company of the statistics of this Nation will show our rapid growth. We are becoming a selling nation, and I believe that the eight hundred millions of people In Asia and Oceanica offer the great market of the future to the United States. We are separated from the Orient by the boundless ocean, with no resting places for our ships bearing the burdens of commerce to the far East. The Republican policy gives us the Sandwich Islands, with sufficient harborage, 2,418 miles from the Golden Gate. From the Sandwich islands to Guam is 3.S12 miles, and in the last session of Congress we authorized the government to thoroughly fortify Guam and prepare it for safe harborage. From Guam to Manila is 1,734 miles. These are most valuable commercial stepping stones to the Orient. While Guam and Manila were never thought of when the war with Spain began, they are going to be of Incalculable benefit to this Nation as our growing commerce demands harborage in the Pacific. From Manila to Hong-Kong is 723 miles 8,717 in all now blessed with safe ports for repairing, coaling and resting our ships. MUTUAL BLESSINGS. "Were I to scan the future for these several groups of islands I telleve that mutual blessings are In store for their inhabitants and for us, and he who would hastily, thoughtlessly, recklessly part with any of them is unwise counsel for the American people. "I suppose that I will be criticised in Populistic quarters for daring even to thus refer to the 'dollar' side of the situation. Four years ago Colonel Bryan thought of nothing but tho dollar. Now he says the Republican party 'puts the dollar iefcre the man.' In the sense that he uses it, this is false. The liberating of men, the building of homes, the education of the country, all have been the Inspirations for Republican (rrowth and action. Hut I v. ill tell Colonel Bryan what the Republican party does put before the man. It puts work before him. it puts an honest dollar into his hands and its puts food before the man and before his family, while Colonel Bryan's policies have in the past, and would now, deprive the man of all these blessings. "In conclusion on this subject, let mc say that imperialism is abhorrent to the Republican mind. We are not afraid of expansion when it comes by natural growth, incident to the relations of this government to the rest of the world. As for militarism and the wasting of the taxes of the people in sustaining great armies not actually needed, it is absolutely against the traditions of the Republican party and against their purposes. The Republican party believes in the Imperialism of the untrammeled mind and the unfettered hand, whether to work or to vote. It believes in the expansion of American commerce, the expansion of thought, of action, of intelligence and moral growth. It believes In that militarism which will draw the sword only when needed in the defense of human rights." THE MONEY QUESTION. The speaker devoted some time to the discussion of the mor.cy-questIon, showing how the attitude of Mr. Bryan had destroyed confldnce and tended to throw out of employment three millions of workmen. . He seized the opportunity to pay tributes of admiration and respect to two distinguished Citizen of IndIanapoIIi?rsaying: "This Congress has taken action and fixed the gold standard for the country, and no one State deserves more credit for the great work done to accomplish this result than the State or Indiana, and were I to single out one citizen of the United States who deserves most grateful recognition for his services in the great conflict for sound money I wouM name the Hon. Hugh H. Hanna, of Indianapolis. Oreat applause. Iii leadership wm o unselfish.

untiring, patriotic and wise that the Found Money Democrats all over tho country cooperated most cordially and earnestly with him, and to this patriotic element of the people I desire to render acknowledgment and pay my tribute. But, while on this subject, let me not forget one of the wisest and most untiring workers in the causo of sound money. I refer to the Hon. Jesse Overstreet tremendous enthusiasm, also of Indianapolis, in the Republican caucus which assembled near the close of the last Congress, a committee of eleven Republicans who had been re-elected to this, the fifty-sixth Congress, was chosen and Instructed to formulate legislation during the recess, to be presmted to the present Congress. I had the honor to be chairman of that committee. I mention this fact modestly, in order to show you that 1 ought perhaps to be qualified to Judge of the merits of those working in that great field. Mr. Overstreet was made secretary of the committee. The important details of the work fell to him and after that committee had spent week3 in earnest work and unanimously prepared and recommended legislation, I named Mr. Overstreet to make up the report of the. committee, which he did. It necessitated great and careful work and every Republican member of this Congress will testify that the result gae evidence not only of untiring zeal, tut of the largest knowledge of monetary affairs and of great ability in presenting honestly and simply the features of the bill agreed upon and the reasons in favor of the proposed legislation. Mr. Overstreet introduced the bill at the opening of this Congress and it was made house bill No. 1. With his calm, dear mind he presented tho merits of the bill to the Republican caucus, which m'et at the commencement of the present Congress. He answered every question with such ability, clearness and that manly gentleness for which he is noted, that when he was through with the discussion thfc Republican caucus unanimously agreed to the bill recommended by the committee of evelen. Mr. Overstreet had charge of the measure during the debate in the House, and it passed thrcjugh that body without dissent. I most largely attribute the success of the bill in the House to the splendid generalship of Jesse Overstreet. He was the ranking1 conferee on the part of the House and conducted that most delicate of all work the conference between the House and the Senate. The result of his work is now known to the country and is felt in every city and in every home In the United States. I would be unfaithful to my sense of duty were I to address citizens of Indiana so near to his home and fail to give this expression of my appreciation of his great service and this testimonial to his high character and splendid abilities, based on my personal knowledge of the man. Kindly remember what I am now about to say: If you ever need first-class senatorial timber ip Indiana you will find that timber in Jesse Overstreet, and there is not a crooked streak or a knothole in his entire makeup." BOND CASE DECISION.

Federal Court Rule Against the Cincinnati Ilefandlnsr Contract. CINCINNATI, Oct. 27. In 1SSS the Sinking Fund Trustees of Cincinnati contracted with Roberts & Co., of New York, to purchase all the city's outstanding-bonds at market value and surrender them to the trustees, who would Issue new Z per cent, bonds and exchange them with Roberts .& Co. at par for the amount paid in purchasing Outstanding bonds. The total amount involved was $13,600,000. A local banker enjoined the execution of the contract. He was sustained by the Common Pleas, the Circuit and., State Supreme Court. Meantime Roberts & Co. sued In the United States Court to enforce the terms of their contract. Judge Thompson, of the United States Court, 'to-day decided that as the bonds under the contract were refunding bonds they must be, under statutes of Ohio, sold to the highest bidder. He therefore decided that the contract with Roberts & Co. was void, as the bonds were not regularly advertised. NOT OFFERED TO HIM. Cleveland Has "Sot Been Aftked to Accent College Presidency. NEW YORK, Oct. 27. The Evening Post prints, to-day, the following special from Norfolk, Va.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland, when Interviewed to-night in regard to his having been offered the presidency of Washington and Lee University, said: "I never heard of it, thought of it or dreamed of It, and I don't believe anybody else ever did either." The Root of Evil in Japan. Archer B. Hulbert, in Gunton's Magazine. There is in the Japanese people great promise. They are brave, ingenuous, skillful. Their art is unsurpassed of Its kind and of great beautj'. The root of evil in Japanese civilization is in the growing incompatibility of the upper - and lower classes; the powers actually becoming dominated by Christian principle but at the same time holding out to their fellow-countrymen the heathenish moral code of their ancestors and not giving them a light which they themselves possess'. This is not honest. A civilization cannot be built on the sands any; more than can a house. To insure Japanese civilization the upper class must open their eyes to the real cause of their marvelous awakening. They must feallze that, had It not been for Christianity, contact with the west would have raised Japan to her present positon no sooner than contact with China. They must realize the true foundation of a real civilization. "Other foundation can no man lay than is laid." History in every age has proven the words. Movement of Steamers. NEW YORK, Oct. 27.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGANSPORT, Ind., Oct. 27. The body of Charles Bennett, a well-known blacksmith of Winamac, was found last evening lying in a room at his home in that place. His neck was broken and the body had evidently lain where it was found for seme days, as decomposition had set in. The last seen of Bennett was on Monday last, and owing to the fact that his wife has been visiting friends in Tipton, he keeping bachelor's hall meantime, his absence about town was not noted, his friends thinking he had gone to Join his wife.

There were no evidences of a struggle or any indication as to how the man met his death or how his neck could have been broken. While there is some talk of fcul play there Is no evidence to bear out such a theory and the coroner believes he had got up in the night, and stumbled and fell in such a way as to break his neck.

New York Evening Sun. This Is not intended for those who have come near to drowning or who have had the privilege of rescuing any one from that rather tragic predicament. If you have ever dragged a drowning man ashore by the hair, or by the foot, or by having him place his hand on your shoulder, you are bound to think that your way Is the only real way, because it happened to succeed, and if you have ever thrown your hands upward In an awful 'clutching for support and had them close on nothing but air you won't care to read about anything of the sort at all. This merely tells how a man looks when ho drowns and how one man , was rescued. This man didn't drown. But he went through all the motions. It was at one of the beaches on one of this summer's Sundays. The water was deliclously warm, and the sky that arched above it was deliclously cool, and the hundreds who either set baking in the sand or tumbled like porpoises in the breakers felt that complete happiness which comes from partaking of nature's society without the restraints of clothes or conventionalities. To make things simpler we shall say that you were one of them. You had meandered slowly across the sand, toying with your sensations by not plunging in at once, Just as a child makes a piece of candy last by eating it in nibbles. You waded in Just far enough for the fling of the surf to creep caressingly about your ankles, and then you stood there watching those in front of you and the long backs of the rollers following each other to the shore, and far out beyond that the indigo streak at the skyline. The two tiny slanting dots that were the funnels of a liner showed out in Vhat indigo streak as you watched it. And thinking of the huge leviathan which lay beneath those two dots, and which at that moment was heaving out to open sea, you forgot about what was going on about you except when the recession of an unusually large breaker began to undermine the sand from beneath your feet. All at once something snapped " the charm. It was not a shriek. In these affairs that cornea later. But a quick, cold-thrilling sense that something wa3 wrong came shivering through you. At the same instant the kaleidoscopeic figures that were before you stopped short in their movements as though frozen. The voices ceased. And then a wave of sound and motion, beginning at those farthest out, swept quickly in to shore. Just aa a breeze sweeps over hilltops. There were shouts and beckoning of arms. And following them, with that stupid slowness with which one's wits move when he is called upon immediately to shift his point of view, you saw, some distance beyond the life-lines, a frightened woman waving an arm. Quickly you observed the awkwardness of her efforts to swim, and to shake that arm above the water, the splashing, and the fact that something was not right with her. And then, quite at once, with a sudden grasp on you that made you gasp, came the understanding of it all. Beside the woman was a man's head, sunk so low that only his e showed above the water beneath a dripping mop of hair. HOW THE CROWD BEHAVED. The crowd stood like spectators at a play. They beckoned and cried excitedly to the llfesaver, who sat half asleep on his white catamaran; then they turned and gazed with parted lips at the two struggling persons la the water. They did not seem to feel that the thing belonged to them. That Is, most of them did not. A thin, old man, with gray whiskers, who made a most curious spectacle in a bathing suit; a quiet, stocky young fellow in a sleeveless Jersey, and two other persons seemed to feel differently. One of them, of course, was the life-saver, who had been at last awakened. Without realizing fully that the man whose head had Just settled beneani the waters was really fighting with death, you ran out through the shallows, leaped the Crst breaker, and then dived over on your right side and headed out. As your left hand ploughed the water in tho overhand si ke, you could see out of the corner of your eye that two other arms were doing the same thing a little ahead of you. and you felt somehow that the man was really safe. This s-eemt-d so obviou3 as vou heaved through the water, glorifying in your strcngh. that you feit almost mystified .when you threw your head up again and saw the two ngures sill struggling there. The man's head was clear out now, his mouth was gaping and set in terror and he beat the water with his hand as though they were Kails. This was Just for an instant, however, for again he slowly sank with his staring eyes Just showing and then he slipped under and asrain th. Titcloed over h!s hair. This seemed at the time a most foolish, not to say droll, performance. Here he was in thJs delicious.

You felt vtry much like shouting to him: "Here, my dear sir! Of course, we know you are drowning, but Just lie tin re on the top of the water calmly were -om!ng directly." HOW THE MAX LOOKED. But this time the man did not even corr. üp. Only his arms came up, about half way to his elbows, and there they were thrust out of the water clutching, clutching, clutching, like thote of a man sunk over his head in quicksand. This did not look at all nice, and 'you threw your head down into the water and swept more fiercely with your overhand left. In a moment you were all on the spot, the graybeard, the stocky young fellow, the tanned life-saver, and yourself. And then the man's head came up again this time with eyes fixed, teeth clamped tight, a face like bluish wax. The woman gave one long shrill, quavering scream. Without a word the stocky your.g fellow grabbed tho man by the shoulders, then threw his arms around him, so that they gripped the man about the chest. Just as he might have done had the nun been sitting on his lap, threw himself on hN tack, and, swimming with his legs, started for shore. The gray-beard hooked his arm around one of the drowning man's armpits, the live-saver and you took one of his legs. Thus the four of you hustled him ashore, while the woman splashed alongside, screaming with that long quivering feminine "O-o-o-e," more shivery than any articulate words, that could ne framed into a cry. The weight of the man's body was something out of all reason. With all of you supporting him, his head yet could not be kept above the surface, and every now and then It lunged blindly up out of the water In a manner most unpleasant to behold. The eyes were stretched wide open, staring and expressionless, the blue lips drawn back froir the locked teeth, and as the face cam, above the surface foamy water gurgled out of the corners of the mouth. Finally your feet touched, and hurriedly splashing and pushing, you shoved the Inert body upon the dry sand. The man w.t quite gone now. Then all the men Joined hands and mado a great circle, pushing back the crowd, outside of which, quite forgotten, the woman lay moaning on th? sand. Someone who knew came, Jut us someone always docs come, and lie took the limp body up as though it were a sa-k of meal, with his hands pressed belw the chest. A lot of water came out of the man's mouth. Then, after working In tni way, they pulled out his tongue and heM him up by the heels, while those who had done nothing at all tried to crowd clos? and slap the blue cramped-up feet. All at once the man groaned. Then he gasped. The woman pushed her way through the ring and throwing herself on the sand be.side him, begin hysterically to laugh and cry and wildly to slap hH hands And then they lifted him up on their shoulder and carried him off to the bathhouse, with the woman trudging through the san 1 beside them. "He'll be all right in a mlr.ute." said the man, who lifted him like a sack. It suddenly occurred to you that thia poor fellow had come pretty close to death. You became newly aware that the swash of the breakers was a chilling sound an J that the sea breeze had a most unpleasant smell. Serves Him Bight. Washington Post.
