THE PITH OF POLITICS. (By ARTHUR J. PILLSBURY.) It is a proverb that politics makes strange bedfellows and it ought to be a proverb that politics makes bedfellows strange and puts them into strange situations. Of all the strange poses that the exigencies of office hunting have compelled the new Democracy to assume nothing has ever excelled that of the present pose of Mr. Bryan's party as the party of great moral ideas. It reminds me that "When the devil was sick the devil a saint would be, but when the devil got well—that was different." The burden of the Bryanistic press is heavy with holy horror of the wickedness of the Republican party and its managers and the novice in politics would be excusable for gathering from the platform which Mr. Bryan imposed upon the Kansas City convention that a heavy majority of the delegates had lately been kneeling at the seat of mercy and were under conviction for sin. As a cold matter of history however the antecedents of the amalgamated organization are not in keeping with present protestations and the unctuous morality of the new Democracy is that of the recent convert and the American people will be wise if they insist upon a long probation prior to the extension of the right hand of fellowship. The Bryan press is melodious in denunciation of the administration at Washington for attempting temporarily to govern certain undeveloped peoples, incapable of self-government, without their formal consent, but when it comes to disfranchising, in the interests of white supremacy, as many native citizens of our own country as there are men of mature age in the Island of Luzon these same papers are strangely quiecent. What is sauce for the goose does not seem to be sauce for that gander. And yet our colored fellow citizens of North Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi speak our language, are familiar with our laws, believe in the wisdom and excellence of our American institutions and are heartily and bravely loyal to our flag and country. That flag has not been over kind in protecting them, but they love it and thousands of them are ready and willing to fight for it and to die for it. The conscience of the nation will have little objection to the adoption in any state of this union of suffrage laws that impose an educational qualification so that the qualification apply to men of all colors and conditions, but a law which specifically excuses from the operation of a wholesome electoral regulation the illiterate and incapacious whites because their fathers or grandfathers enjoyed the right of suffrage prior to 1867, for no other purpose than to discriminate party of great moral ideas a single material bond of union except cheap money and the national and individual repudiation for which cheap money stands. And this is the standard of morals of this party of great moral ideas! THE AMENDED BANKING LAW The new currency law enacted by a Republican congress and signed by a Republican president and put into operation in March of this year makes some important modifications of the national banking law as it was. Among these changes are the following: Banks may now issue their notes as currency to the face value of the bonds deposited as security for such currency instead of to only 90 per cent of the par value as heretofore provided that the market value of such bonds does not fall below the face value. In other words the government now accepts its own bonds as good security to the full, face value of the bonds unless they fall below par, which is highly improbable. And why should it not? Can there be any question as to the value of the security, and it is only for the purpose of securing the notes that the bonds are deposited with the government. In case the new 2 per cent bonds are deposited as security for the notes the tax on circulation is reduced from one per cent per annum to one-half of one per cent per annum. This was done to facilitate the refunding feature of the law and which has already saved the government eight millions of dollars. To give needed banking facilities to the smaller towns of the country national banks having only $25,000 in capital may be established in towns having not more than 3000 population, and in towns having more than 3000 people and less than 6000, banks having a capitalization of $50,000 may be established. To show the answering need for this provision it may be stated that more than 60 per cent of the new banks formed since the passage of this measure have been capitalized at $50,000 or less and are in places having a population of 6000 or under. Banks may now surrender a part or all of their note circulation at any time and take it out again at any time instead of waiting six months between surrender and reissue as under the old law. This is to enable them to withdraw their currency when not needed and take it out again when needed as in the event of a financial stringency. The national bank notes are not a legal tender and no one has to accept them unless he wishes to, but as they SOMETHING ABOUT THE WAR And while the American people, sustained by Republican legislation, have been achieving splendid triumphs in their business and commerce, they have conducted and in victory concluded war for liberty and human rights. No thought of national aggrandizement trained the high purpose with which American standards were unfurled. Was a war unsought and patiently resisted, but when it came the American government was ready. Its fleets were cleared for action, its armies were in the field, and the quick and signal tumph of its forces on land and sea bodies equal tribute to the courage of America can soldiers and sailors, and to the skis and foresight of Republic statesman ship. To ten millions of the human race there was given "a new birth" freedom" and to the American people a new noble responsibility. The foregoing is a thrilling but perfectly truthful declaration from the Republican national platform adopted Philadelphia and yet it falls short of full significance of events. What better refutation of the false charge of imperialistic tendencies President McKinley and his administration can be country want than cool, determined resistance of the administration to being plunged into war with Spain by a warlike popular claim until such time as the wrong headed brutality and duplicity of Spain made war inevitable and unavoidable. And how unlike an imperialistic conqueror were the words of our greatest hearted president when he spoke in test of war and with emotion of test "home-coming" of the soldiers, of the thinned ranks, the crippled bodies, the broken constitutions and the bereaved households. Never did any government go to war more reluctantly than ours, but never was war more bravely waged or citizen converted into soldiers more quickly. The thoughtless assumed that the president had only to say: "Let there be an army," and there would be one equipment and provisioned, but thoughtful people knew that an effective army was not created and equipped in a day; so quickly was the work done that an army was ready to strike when it was needed to strike and the blow was home. It was not needful to strike another. and excellence of our American institutions and are heartily and bravely loyal to our flag and country. That flag has not been over kind in protecting them, but they love it and thousands of them are ready and willing to fight for it and to die for it. The conscience of the nation will have little objection to the adoption in any state of this union of suffrage laws that impose an educational qualification so that the qualification apply to men of all colors and conditions, but a law which specifically excuses from the operation of a wholesome electoral regulation the illiterate and incapacious whites because their fathers or grandfathers enjoyed the right of suffrage prior to 1867, for no other purpose than to discriminate against the black vote—such a provision as has been adopted into the organic law of North Carolina and other southern states is an outrage upon the national conscience. Only one more step remains, that of closing the schools of these states to colored pupils, and the negro population of the south will be reduced to a peonage as hopeless as slavery. And yet neither this new party of great moral pretensions nor its leader has had one word of protest to utter against this most flagrant usurpation of power, through intimidation, by a self constituted aristocracy. It is a boundless assurance and not a regard for consistency that gives the new Democracy leave to speak of taxation without representation in Porto Rico and the Philippines. And there are the American missionaries in China! What is the attitude of the Bryan press toward them? Why, the mouthpieces of this new party of great moral ideas give expression to a reluctant willingness to have American soldiers rescue American diplomatic representatives from the clutches of the fanatical and bloody Boxers, provided it can be done without too much difficulty and cost, but as for the missionaires—they are set down as busy bodies regarding the fate of whom it is not worth while to make a scene. The verdict is that these fearless and self-sacrificing forerunners of a world religion ought to have remained at home, that if the Chinese had wanted to be converted to Christianity they would have asked for the privilege and that our missionaries had no natural right to penetrate to remote regions and there over persuade sinners to repentance. If they ventured upon so hazardous an undertaking it must be at their own risk. Any effort to enforce upon China, with the power of the army and navy of the United States, the treaty stipulations that such people are not to be, "Harrassed on account of their faith and shall in no case be interfered with or prosecuted," will be greeted with trantic declaration that the same is only another manifestation of a heinous world conquering imperialism. Another incongruous element in this newly fledged party of great moral ideas is Boss Croker with his Tammany hall backing. Mr. Bryan, the highly moral Mr. Bryan, the Mr. Bryan of great moral ideas, has been caught openly consorting with that harlot. Boss Croker is at the head of the New York city push. That is his stock in trade and he has openly testified that he is in politics for what he can make out of politics. He has engaged to throw the state of New York into the Bryan column in the forthcoming election. What is the consideration which this new party of great moral ideas, this party of lofty ideals and unexamined virtue, is to bestow on Boss Croker in exchange for his immoral influence in this campaign? One who scrutinizes the Bryanistic platform in search of some expression in favor of a reformed civil service and has found more than 60 per cent of the new banks formed since the passage of this measure have been capitalized at $50,000 or less and are in places having a population of 6000 or under. Banks may now surrender a part or all of their note circulation at any time and take it out again at any time instead of waiting six months between surrender and reissue as under the old law. This is to enable them to withdraw their currency when not needed and take it out again when needed as in the event of a financial stringency. The national bank notes are not a legal tender and no one has to accept them unless he wishes to, but as they are secured abundantly the people are given a safe currency and a more flexible currency than the government could otherwise supply. In opposition to this measure it is claimed by Mr. Bryan and his personal property party that this feature of the currency is a "step forward in the Republican policy which aims to discredit the sovereign right of the national government to issue all money whether coin or paper." And this claim is made with bravado in face of the fact that the new currency law gives to the greenbacks a permanent place in our monetary system, with redemption and reissue, and that it also provides for the issue of nearly 600 millions in silver to be kept at a parity with gold by force of a sovereign legal tender provision and receipt for public dues. The utter falsity of the charge is proven by the measure itself. The charge is also made that the purpose of the Republican party is to "bestow upon national banks the power to issue and control the volume of paper money for their own benefit." The falsity of this charge will be evident upon reflecting that congress has surrendered none of its prerogatives to the national banks, but may alter or amend this law at any session, limiting the volume of national bank circulation or otherwise abridging in any way the currency privileges accorded the banks. Another charge equally false is that a permanent national bank currency must have a permanent bonded debt of the nation to secure it. As the bonded debt of the nation amounts to $1,023,478,860, there is no immediate likelihood of its being wiped out, but when the proper time comes it will be entirely practicable to substitute state or municipal or railroad bonds for government bonds to be deposited as security for bank circulation. It is believed by financiers that it will be possible for banks, in good times and with a good demand for money, to make a profit of one per cent per annum on their note circulation, whereas heretofore their profit has not exceeded three-fourths of one per cent. This is not regarded as an excessive reimbursement for furnishing the people with an addition to other forms of currency which will be safe, flexible and distributed where it is most needed to meet the requirements of an expanding trade. The California Consolidated Petroleum company has behind it some of the strongest men financially, in California. They are determined to make their oil company the most successful on the coast, and they have the brains and capital to attain this result. They are cautious and conservative, but never did so many great elsewhere as those effected by Hood's household. Never did any government go to war more reluctantly than ours, but never was war more bravely waged or citizen converted into soldiers more quicken. The thoughtless assumed that the president had only to say: "Let there be army," and there would be one equipment and provisioned, but thoughtful people knew that an effective army was not created and equipped in a day; so quickly was the work done that an army was ready to strike when it needed to strike and blow home. It was not needful to strangle another. Nothing, too, could be more absolutely true than the declaration that a country went to war without touching liberty and human rights. It was confer liberty that the Republican organization came into being and same spirit has animated the party from its birth to its mature manhood and will animate it while it lives. That liberty for which the Republic party stands is liberty regulated by law not license, and for this sole reason firm hand of government has resumed upon Cuba and the Philippines used the supremacy of law can be established, and public order and civil rights secured to people of all classes. We opponents of the government pose speech of imperialism and of the administration "enslaving" any people their fears have taken counsel of their partisanship and not of their judgment. The accessions of territory which have come as a result of this war were not avoided: Porto Rico was taken Spain might have nothing left on American continent to make another embroglio possible. The Philippines were taken because they could not left themselves with national dignity and honor. This "new and noble responsibility placed upon American people neither be shirked nor shifted and 'ten millions of the human race taken under the protecting care of America will enter into their 'new birth freedom'" as soon as they are equipped... Mr. Bryan, the highly moral Mr. Bryan, the Mr. Bryan of great moral ideas, has been caught openly consorting with that harlot. Boss Croker is at the head of the New York city push. That is his stock in trade and he has openly testified that he is in politics for what he can make out of politics. He has engaged to throw the state of New York into the Bryun column in the forthcoming election. What is the consideration which this new party of great moral ideas, this party of lofty ideals and unexamined virtue, is to bestow on Boss Croker in exchange for his immoral influence in this campaign? One who scrutinizes the Bryanistic platform in search of some expression in favor of a reformed civil service and has found nothing—not a line or syllable, may well be excused if he concludes that the consideration was New York appointments without civil service strings tied to them. What a luscious peach that will be for Tammany and its boss! With what an aroma will that peach be attended fresh from the fair hand of this vestal virgin of end-of-the-century politics, the new Democracy with great moral ideas! A hankering after repudiation is another besetting sin of this new fangled party of great moral ideas. Four years ago the purpose was thinly disguised by sophistical argumentation to the effect that free coinage of silver would not result in a depreciated currency, but the real bait held out to those who were then in debt was the ability to discharge their obligations in cheaper dollars than were lawful money when the debts were contracted. That was the very soul of the cheap money movement of the concluding decade of the century and without that promise held out to a people whose want of business conservation had brought them into debt the Populist party would never have come into being and the new Democracy would never have risen to humiliate and bring into disrepute the party that was founded by Thomas Jefferson and which, in 1872, declared "That the public credit must be sacredly maintained and we denounce repudiation in every form and guise." Let it be remembered by the reader that this multum in parvo organization, masquerading as a party of great moral ideas, is still held together by this one and only common bond fo union, cheap money, and that it stands pledged to inflict upon the country a flood of depreciated currency and with that currency to repudiatingly discharge boned obligations for which the faith and credit of the government are plighted. For sake of a merited emphasis the proposition is again repeated: There is not between the cohorts of the new Democracy, Populism and free silver Republican greenbackism parading under the Bryan banner as a The California Consolidated Petroleum company has behind it some of the strongest men, financially, in California. They are determined to make their oil company the most successful on the coast, and they have the brains and capital to attain this result. They are cautious and conservative, but withal aggressive, and their policy is to absorb the weak and become the masters of the field, and beyond any reasonable question, the California Consolidated Petroleum company will earn for its stockholders dividends that will send the stock many times above par, and make many investors comfortable for life, if not rich.

Major John B. Jeffrey, who has been with us again this week establishing three routes for rural mail delivery, was among the first American officers to land at Iloilo. He was in charge of the mobilization of troops, and to his efforts, more than to any other one thing probably, is due the fact that the city of Iloilo was saved from destruction by fire and from looting by the mobs which took possession of the city for a time after the evacuation by the Spanish. The American, published at Manila, contains the following thrilling account of the saving of property, including the water works, from destruction by incendiary fire, by this gallant officer. For gallant service at this point Captain Jeffrey was brevetted a major: The wisdom of the selection of a man of affairs for the business end of the military forces has been fully demonstrated since the landing of the American soldiers in Iloilo on the 11th day of February, 1899, under the command of Brigadier-General M. P. Miller. When the expedition arrived in the harbor of Iloilo last December, there came ashore a tall, well proportioned, well preserved man, wearing a full beard, sprinkled with "silver threads among the gold." His manly bearing and courteous demeanor towards the citizens and soldiers at once attracted the attention of every one to him, and, as he passed along from one place of business to another, many expressions of admiration were heard, such as "May grande!" and "May bueno!" There were those who saluted him, mistaking him for the famous General Rios, and the report soon got about that the Spanish general had returned with the Americans. It will be remembered that General Rios, with his staff, occupied the Casa de la Rama, situated at Calle Progreso, No. 20, and from this place surrendered. When the United States troops landed in force in Iloilo, on the memorable 11th day of February, this same officer came ashore in a little native boat paddled by four natives. He sat in the bow of the boat and held in his arms something which seemed very precious to him. The big guns from the United States volunteers we have, and it foots up into the millions of dollars. Our readers will be able to identify the officer referred to; so that we refrain from saying more than that Major John B. Jeffrey "es un buen hombre."

THE IMPULSE TO ASSASSINATE The world has again been shocked by the assassination of a public official of rectitude, a man who, though a king, was liberal in his views and patriotic in having rendered honorable service to his country. What was the compelling impulse that nerved the hand of the bloody fanatic to murder King Humbert of Italy? It was hate, hate born of envy, envoy of inequality of condition and sourished upon the frothy mouthings of political demagogy. Not every extremist stops to consider the possible results of his ill-tempered and untempered utterances. The tenagogue seeks to inflame passion, to plant the seed of bitterness and envy in the breasts of his hearers that he may thrive upon their fruits. It is not probable that the men who drew the platform upon which the Bryan party bases its contest for supremacy realized the results which might possibly follow the intemperate language employed in the concluding paragraph of that document, but those concluding sentences are freighted to the gunwales with the impulse to assassinate. Review them and think of them. Here they are: "We believe that our most cherished institutions are in great peril." "We believe that the very existence of our constitutional republic is at stake." "We believe that the decision now to be rendered will determine whether or not our children are to enjoy those blessing privileges of free government." A Minister's Mistake. A city minister was recently hired a notice to be read from his paper bearing upon the matter. The clergyman started to read the tract and found that it began: "Kemp's Balsam," the best cough药.

For P. A. Derge, druggist. never read of so many great cures as those effected by Hood's Sar the report soon got about that the Spanish general had returned with the Americans. It will be remembered that General Rios, with his staff, occupied the Casa de la Rama, situated at Calle Progreso, No. 20, and from this place surrendered. When the United States troops landed in force in Hoilo, on the memorable 11th day of February, this same officer came ashore in a little native boat paddled by four natives. He sat in the bow of the boat and held in his arms something which seemed very precious to him. The big guns from the United States ships Boston and Petrel were tearing up everything about for miles around. When the officer in the native boat was landed near the fort he unfurled partially a large American flag and started for the fort on a dead run; but the "boys in blue" had run up the Stars and Stripes on the fort, so he hurried on past the fort, reaching Progreso street, where all the wealth of Hoilo is situated. He delayed a moment to talk with the commanding officer of the First Tennessee infantry, then passed over to the Spanish bank, followed by about twenty soldiers. A few moments thereafter the large American flag which he carried was seen floating in the breeze over the bank building. Half an hour later the flag of the Red Cross was run underneath the American flag, and the hospital corps took immediate possession of the building which this gallant officer had protected from the raging fires and the army of Chinese and other looters. Down Progreso street, followed now by soldiers and all manner of persons, including natives bearing little white flags, went this officer, revolver in hand and a belt around his waist filled with cartridges. A halt was made in front of the Luchsinger residence, where assistance was rendered and bulbs and carts were borrowed and placed in charge of a soldier whom the officer ordered to report to an artillery officer at the fort. Leaving soldiers to guard the property he passed on to the Hongkong bank, where another halt was made and another guard left, and on he went, headed for the castle of de la Rama. This was the former residence of General Rios, and it was in this castle, as before remarked, that he tugged over the city of Hoilo to the insurgents. It is the finest establishment in Hoilo, and is surrounded by lumber yards, machine shops, "godowns," and above everything, water tanks filled with thousands of gallons of fresh rain water. The work of the insurgent soldiers was here apparent. On the north side of de la Rama castle a building was in flames, but the de la Rama mansion had to be robbed before setting it on fire. They had just started the burning of the palatial residence when the officer arrived. All the people who had been following suddenly turned and fled, shouting to the officer that the house was full of insurgent soldiers who would open fire from the windows. The brave officer looked back and shouted: "Come on, my Tennessee boys; surround this place and don't shoot unless you have to." The officer boldly entered with two soldiers, one of whom he left at the foot of the stairs while he rushed up into the burning castle. At his approach the insurgents led out the back way and might possibly follow the intemperate language employed in the concluding paragraph of that document, but those concluding sentences are freighted to the gunwales with the impulse to assassinate. Review them and think of them. Here they are: "We believe that our most cherished institutions are in great peril." "We believe that the very existence of our constitutional republic is at stake." "We believe that the decision now to be rendered will determine whether or not our children are to enjoy those blessed privileges of free government which have made the United States great, prosperous and honored." Of course the men who drafted that platform, as well as the men who voted for its adoption, know perfectly well that the election of William McKinley will not imperil our most cherished institutions; that the existence of our constitutional republic is not in the smallest danger and they know that the decision in November, whichever way it goes, can not jeopardize in the smallest degree the enjoyment on the part of our children of the blessed privileges of free government. But those men can not know that their false and intemperate utterances may not fire the brain of some fanatic who has been made by these convention ravings to believe that free institutions are really in imminent danger and cause him to strike down the president of the United States. Fanaticism has cost the life of two American presidents and those are not guiltless whose intemperate utterances are liable to provoke taking of the life of a third president. The life of Marcus A. Hanna is likewise put in peril by the maliciously false characterizations which have made of an honorable and high minded gentleman a gorged monster fattening off the daily toil of helpless innocents. It is to the credit of the Republican party that a monopoly of the throwing of firebrands and of indulgence in intemperate ravings is left to Mr. Bryan and his partisans, but it is far from being credible to them that they so readily avail themselves of that monopoly. The worst that Republican writers and orators predict in the highly improbable event of the election of Mr. Bryan is that it will produce another financial panic, that the experiments he will inaugurate will prove disastrous failures; that the foreign policy he will adopt will make our nation contemptible in the sight of the world; that the giving up of our recently acquired insular possessions would be a cowardly shirking of a lofty moral obligation and the foregoing of a very substantial material opportunity; that business would be very bad for four years and the suffering of the poor intense until a penitent country had a second time turned to the Republican party to set the house in order and establish conditions under which people can do business and pursue happiness.

They had just started the burning of the palatial residence when the officer arrived. All the people who had been following suddenly turned and fled, shouting to the officer that the house was full of insurgent soldiers who would open fire from the windows. The brave officer looked back and shouted: "Come on, my Tennessee boys; surround this place and don't shoot unless you have to." The officer boldly entered with two soldiers, one of whom he left at the foot of the stairs while he rushed up into the burning castle. At his approach the insurgents fled out the back way and escaped to the river. Some of them no doubt were shot, as when they were escaping to the river firing was heard, and the Tennessee soldiers, it is said, are dead sure shots. Two faithful servants came running to the officer, like children asking his protection, with little white flags in their hands and water to put out the fire that was creeping up the ceiling and walls, which had been covered with kerosene. When the place was saved two soldiers were left to guard the water. Then the work of establishing a depot for quartermaster and commissary stores began, and before morning arrangements had been completed. But again a greater calamity than fire confronted the soldiers. A water famine was imminent, and the same officer was charged with the task of solving the problem. He immediately secured control of the only reservoir in Hoilo, holding some 800 tons of water. Iron tanks were provided, and gutter and service pipes placed on the large "godowns," the Tennessee barracks and the government buildings, which had been saved from fire, so as to catch every drop of rain water. A spring on the island of Guimaras was leased, and a pumping station established with large iron tanks. A large lighter was secured and water tanks placed thereon, pumps, boilers and engines were soon in readiness, so that in the brief space of one month all danger of a water famine in Hoilo had been passed. The streets were cleaned of the fallen corrugated iron roofs with which they were completely blocked, and bull carts, water carts and horses and carriages were enabled to carry quartermaster and commissary supplies to the soldiers. Under the magnificent management of this officer steam launches, cascoes and lighters were leased, and without delay the army supplies were safely handed, and the soldiers were not left without food and water. A detailed list of private properties saved by this officer and a handful of the Tennessee adopt will make our nation contemptible in the sight of the world, that the giving up of our recently acquired insular possessions would be a cowardly shirking of a lofty moral obligation and the foregoing of a very substantial material opportunity; that business would be very bad for four years and the suffering of the poor intense until a penitent country had a second time turned to the Republican party to set the house in order and establish conditions under which people can do business and pursue happiness. This indictment of Bryanism will doubtless prove sufficient for every need, and yet is not inconsistent with according to Mr. Bryan the highest personal character and the most patriotic intentions. His judgment, his knowledge, his policy, his intemperance of utterance and his mistaken zeal for a financial falacy are at fault but these do not imply destruction of liberty or a reign of anarchy. It will prove sufficient to the voter that they do imply commercial chaos, hard times and a great national humiliation. Mr. Bryan, with entire earnestness, declares that he would extend Monroe doctrine to Asia and shelter the Philippines under its wing? There is imperialism for you! We would have to lick half the earth to do that and lick often. All Asia is to be open to all the world and there will never be Monroe doctrine on that hemisphere. Some Populist papers are manifesting a certain degree of restiveness on account of a feeling that because the renegade Republican their party nominated for vice president was pushed off the ticket their party is not being properly recognized by the Bryan agregation. The fact that they secured the nomination of a Populist for the head of the ticket ought to satisfy them, but Democrat—well, it is a pretty hard dose for him and a dose that many of them will not take.
