| Mr. Bryan declares the farmers cannot be deceived by reports of ; prosperty. No, indeed; they’re up ■ against the real thing now, and i they know it when they see it. J The Hon. Grover Cleveland has not formally declared for the Philadelphia ticket, but he has advised a correspondent to .vote according to his ’‘conscience and informed patriotic sense.” And that amounts to the same thing. The Hon. Sixto Lopez, owing to the regulations governing treason, will not be able to come to this country and make speeches for the Kansas City ticket, but he is writing Bryan and Stevenson letters with all the vigor if not all the vituperation of an Altgeld or a Sulzer. The anti-imperialists of Jefferson's day were responsible for the attempt of Aaron Burr to establish an Empire in the Southwest He counted on the discontent of the people whom Jefferson governed Not a single nation disputes our possession of the Philippines. The only organized opposition to the consummation of, the Paris treaty comes from Aguinaldo and the Democratic party. And more than half of the Democratic opposition comes from partisan subserviency rather than conscientious convictions.

General Weaver, who has changed his own political garments so often that he don’t know where he is at, says McKinley is wearing Jeff Davis’over-coat. And Weaver and Bryan and all the whole Democratic crowd are trying to make it appear that Bryan is wearing Lincoln’s mantel. The men who voted for Lincoln in 1860 and 1864 or who would have voted for him in the latter year, had they not been enforcing republican government without the consent of the governed, down south, are the men who are the best qualified to judge which man now best represents Lincoln’s principles and Lincoln’s characte. They knew Lincoln and the principles be represented. It will be easy to find 200 men in Jasper county who voted for Lincoln and who intend t« vote for McKinley; but if there are 5 in in the whole county who voted :or Lincoln and now intend to vote ’or Bryan we do not know where they are, nor does anybody else seems to know.

The Colonel And The Farmer.

[From the New York Suu Colonel —My downtrodden friend, are you aware that the Empire is ruining you? Farmer —Well, Colonel, I told Maria I’d go to town and buy her a set of Empire furniture for the bedroom today, but I reckon ’twont quite ruin me. Colonel —But your liberty is in danger. Farmer —Not’s long as I behave myself, and I always calculate to do that. Colonel —But, my friend, the trusts, with the money trust at their head, are beggaring you. Farmer —Well, they’ll be a long time doing it. I’m in the money trust myself now. Colonel—But surely you are afraid of the ravages of the Octopus? Farmer —I don’t care a rap for no Octopus as long as the pesky grasshoppers keep out of the way. Colonel—But there’s the gageFarmer —Yep )>; lent money on one yesterday. Colonel —But surely you do not approve the retention of the Philippines. Farmer —Colonel, when I get hold of a good thing, I keep hold of it. When I get money enough to buy more land, I buy it. Colonel—But, my dear sir, would you put the man-made dollar above the God-made man? Farmer —No, But I’d put the man-made dollar in the man-made

bank. And I must get there before the bank shuts up. So you’ll have to excuse me, Colobel. Colonel—But, my misguided friend, think of the Farmer —How did you know that Bill Gibbings made one to my second daughter, Elizy Ann, last night? Yep, and I’ve got to go and price pianers and things this afternoon. Goodby. (Exit singing): “Oh, I like to see a five and I love to see a ten, So, ho, here we go for McKinley in again.”

Ruffianism Denounced.

Resolutions with the Right Ring. By Hissouri Republican. The McKinley and Rojsevelt Club, of LaPlata, Mo., has adopted the fo’lowing resolutions: “We, the Republicans of LaPlata, Mo., in meeting assembled, bitterly resent and uncompromisingly denounce the dastardly and anti-American treatment and the oersoual insult offered to our respected and honored leader, koi. Theodore Roosevelt, by a band of Bryanites at Victor. Colo , at a recent Republican meeting at that town. Resolved. That we congratulate Gov. Roosevelt on his escape and manly utterance in regard to that shameful affair, and bid him godspeed in his future travels, and express the hope to him that he may not again meet with another such a ruffianly gang of hoodlums, who have disgraced the' treasured reputation of the American people for fairness political opponents.”

GERMAN PRESS

It Is Greatly Displeased by Bryan's Silver Attitude. The leadins Democratic German paper of the country, the New York Staats Zeitung. opposed Mr. Bryan i»i 1896 on the currency question. At the beginning of the present campaign it supported him on the ground that imperialism was the paramount issue, but as he persists In forcing silver to the front, it withdraws its support. It says: , “A few weeks ago it looked as though a strong current toward Bryan had set in, but since then a visible turn the other way has come. The nearer election day approaches tne more intense becomes the feeling which led to the crushing defeat of th® Democratic candidate four years ago—the feeling, namely, of insecurity, of fear of serious business disturbances, and of lack of confidence in William J. Bryan’s character.” In another editorial the Staats Zeitung expresses regret that by reviving the silver question Mr. Bryan has shown that he does not possess “certain sterling traits of character and a solid element of conservatism so that one can look to his administration with confidence and, above all, with calm security.” The Indianapolis German Telegraph, always a supporter of Bryan, is also displeased with the letter of acceptance and says In an editorial on “Unparalleled Folly:” “Br. Bryan has committed the incredible folly of lending the Republicans a helping hand by bringing tho financial Issue, which already had been side-tracked, to the front again. Hun-, dreds of thousands of Democrats, who had forgiven the majority of the Kansas City convention for allowing them selves to be bulldosed Into voting for the adoption of a free silver plank, against their honest convictions, will not pardon this latest performance of Mr. Bryan. The lack of confidence and the apprehension which will now more strongly be awakened among conservative voters, will not be allayed till election day."

A Bryanite Flop.

"We declare iu favor of a strict adherence to the traditional policy of the Democratic party In the matter of territorial extension; that the speedy annexation of Hawaii, the Independence of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines and their acquisitions are favored, if in keeping with enduring peace with the powers of Europe.” This is not an extract from a Republican platform; not at all. It is part of the platform adopted by the Democrats at Mt. Clemens, Mich., in June, 1898. It contrasts strongly with what these same Democrats are now asked to support If they follow the vagaries of Mr. Bryan.

"Me and Lincoln."

Mr. Bryan’s letter of acceptance Is the most noteworthy document he has ever written. Nowhere from the opening line to the last letter In the clos'lng paragraph does he say “me and Lincoln.”

General Conditions Count.

The voice of sullen discontent is not tuned to the year 1900. Many things are not as we would have them, but general conditions were never more hopeful.
