DELOS BURLINGAME. SUerville, Pa., Feb. 20, 1899. Mr. Bryan will goto the next National Democratic Convention as a delegate, but it is not believed that Mr. McKinley will follow his example. He does not have to as his nomination is assured. Perhaps the Anti-Kxpansionists can explain why, in the face of a largely increased demand for labor of all kinds, with advance of wages, there is still an unprecedented rush of volunteers for the army, in a service that is not specially attractive. It is becoming more and more evident every day that anti-expan sion is not popular outside of Bos ton and a few other places, and with divisions in the democratic ranks over this subject, Republi cans look with composure on the raising of this issue. The plau on foot to extend throughout the country the regis ter letter service to private resi dences by having the letter car riers attend to the work, will prove a boom to the public and add to the popularity of the postal ser vice. The advent of Ex-Speaker Reed into the business life of New York City, is looked forward to with much anticipation. Republicans refuse to believe that this great brainy man, a leader of men, has permanently retired from public life. He is sure to be heard from again in the future. The American manufacturers made their best record in the fiscal year just ended. For the second time in the history of our foreign commerce, the exports exceeded the imports of manufacturers. As the only other time occurred in the year 1898, the McKinley administration is a record-maker as well as a record-breaker. Mr. Root's characterization as "all nonsense" the rumor that Mr. McKinley and himself had disagreed on the subject of the policy to be pursued in the Philippines should set at rest the comment of yellow journals, which have already began their work on the new Secretary. The determination on the part of India to adopt the Gold Standard will deprive Mr. Bryan of one of his stock arguments, likewise and make clear to the Republican party its duty in this matter. A straightforward declaration in favor of the gold standard is ex pected from the next Congress. Our returning volunteers from the Philippines have had many handsome things said of them, but the words of the Japan Herald— "They have shown us that gentle men can be fighters, and have proven now that fighters can be gentlemen," on the occaion of the visit of the soldiers to Tokio on their way home, makes every American's breast swell with pride. President McKinley, when he was consulted by the representa tives of the citizens of the District of Columbia regarding the arrange ments for the reception to Admiral Dewey in Washington in October, emphatically said, "Gentlemen, burn plenty of red fire." As a re sult, there will be more led lights burning during the celebration than ever before in the hisiory of the Capital City. Bucklen'a Arnica Salve.

Pennsylvania Sound Money Demo crats Think that Will Settle Him. Philadelphia Inquirer. Former National Chairman Har rity's disavowal of the reports from Saratoga that he was a participant in the anti-Bryan conference was the subject of general comment among local Democrats yesterday. Following so closely after Crocker's complimentary allusions to Bryan upon his return from Europe, this Harrity declaration was regarded as significant. Bryanites generally were elated over the manifest drift towards the renomination of their old standard-bearer, and they were especially pleased with the Demo cratic organization in Pennsylvania by its declaration in the platform of the recent State convention, had gone on record early in favor of the Nebraska Colonel. The speech of Bryan indicating that he is will ing that the silver issue shall be subordinated to the "new issues'' was pointed to as evidence of his willingness to conciliate the sound money democrats, and that he hoped for a united party for the next national campaign. While the organization Demo crats were rejoicing over the pros pects of Bryan's renomination, the same degree of hilarity was not manifested by the sound-money members of their party. They do not trust Bryan on the financial question and do not propose to support him, no matter what side issues may be put to the front. Not a few sound money men be lieve that that the Democratic party is not in shape to make much of a showing in the coming national campaign. They believe that the disposition of the people will be to support the McKinley administra tion as long as the great questions of the war are still unsettled. It is quite natural that the sound money men should conclude that under existing circumstances there is little chance for the election of any Democratic candidate for President next year. GIVE HIM HOKE ROPE. "Then why not let Bryan have a renomination, and let him run himself to his political death," re marked a well known sound money Democrat who was visiting here from Pittsburg. "By jove," replied a friend, "I think you have struck the right idea. We cannot win with any Democrat next year. Let Bryan run and he will be licked so badly that we will be rid of Bryan and free silver for all time. The Dem ocratic party can get together in support of the old-time principles and be in a position to win in 1904." This conversation which took place in the lobby of the Hotel Walton, presents the Democratic national situation as viewed by the gold Democrats. The same thought is applicable to the State campaign. The sound money Democrats have no sym pathy with the present leadership of the part}' in Pennsylvania. Guffey was placed in control by the Bryanites upon the issue raised by the opponents of Harrity that he was not in accord with the party on the silver question. The recent Democratic State convention was controlled absolutely by the silver ites. They made the platform and put none but men in sympathy with them on the State ticket. WILL OPPOSE CREASY. The Sound Money Democrats do not propose that their support shall be given to a blatant Bryanite of the type of W. T. Creasy, the man whom the silver leaders forced upon the Democratic ticket for State Treasurer. Many of the Gold Democrats will vote for the Repub lican nominee if Lieutenant-Col onel Barnett, or a man of that character, shall be named for the office, as a rebuke to the party managers who persist in recogniz- William Jennings Bryan as their "Matchless Leader." A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Airs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D. "Was taken with a bad cold which settled on my lungs; cough set in and finally termin ated in Consumption.

Secretary Root is giving the coun try a striking exhibition of what can be accomplished by hustling, even in the month of August, which has got to be so generally recognized in official circles as va cation time. He has caused every thing connected with the sending of the volunteers to the Philippines to be advanced considerably from the first estimates, and it is now practically certain that the last of the first ten regiments will be land ed at Manila no later than (Octo ber, and arrangements have already been made by which the other ten regiments, the order for the enlist ing of which was only issued sev eral days ago. will reach Manila within a week, before or after, of December 1. No troops ever took the field anywhere better equipped than these men will be or letter provided in every respect for cam paigning in the tropics. They will all be armed with the Krag-Jor gensen rifle, of which the War Department now has a full supply, and amply supplied with smoke less ammunition. When all the troops get over, there will be more than 60,000 men in the Philippines. It is not believed that so many men will be needed to do the fight ing, but Secretary Root intends to have them there so that every town taken from the Philippinos can be held, instead of abandoned, as in the last campaign. If there is as much hustling at the other end as there has been in Washington, the campaign will be short and decisive. Secretary Willson, who has just returned from a western trip all the way to the Pacific coast, upon which he went to study agricult ural conditions so as to make the work of the Agricultural Depart ment as helpful to farmers in that section as possible, says the talk about a sentiment in the west against the Philippine policy of President McKinley is all manu factured in the east, and that he did not meet a single "anti" west of Chicago, although he met hun dreds of men, in all stations of life. He found farmers prosperous all through the west, and especially so in the corn belt. He says the wheat crop of that section will be a little short, but that the crop of corn and oats and other farm pro ducts are enormous. Speaking of the annexation sentiment in the west, Secretary Wilson said: "The people of the west understand this I question better than do those of the east. They know that Dewey was sent to the Philippines to pro tect our large and growing trade in the Orient. We have labored to build up a trade with China and Japan, and when the war began Spain had a fleet in Oriental waters ready to attack and destroy our commerce. She also was ready to encourage privateering, and Dewey went to Hong Kong to be ready to protect our shipping. He destroy ed the Spanish fleet as a safe way to prevent it from preying upon American merchant ships. Had the battle resulted in a victory for Spain rather than for Dewey, the Spanish fleet would have cross ed the Pacific to attact our western ports. The people out west realize this, and they also realize that Dewey's victory and the subse quent events which transferred the Philippines to the U. S., have given an extraordinary impetus to the commerce of this country with the Orient. At all the Pacific ports the docks are piled up with goods awaiting shipment to the Orient, and we have not ships enough to carry them. The peo ple of the west regard the Pacific as an American lake, which should be covered with ships carrying the American flag, ami I don't know but what they are about right. Why, I rvcui on oue big ship, load ing at Tacoma, and I found in the cargo lumber, wheat and flour from the state of AVashington; butter and eggs from lowa and Michigan fruit from California and Oregan; steel from Alabama; cotton goods from the Carolinas; bicycles from Chicago; notions from New Eng land and something from more than half the states in the Uniou. This cargo was bound for China and Japan, and it represented every section and nearly every branch of industry in the U. S. It showed me more clearly than I had ever seen before the general inter est we all have in this Oriental trade.'' The Washington committee that is collecting money for the relief of the Porto Rico hurricane suffers has received checks for $250 each from President McKinley, Vice President Hobart, and Secretary Root. The latter has appointed a National Committee, to take charge of the distribution of con tributions, to which all local com mittees will report. Ex-Secretary Bliss is chairman of this committee.
