"If there Is any one who believes
the gold standard is a good thing,
or that it must be maintained, I
warn him not to cast his vote for
me, because I promise him it will
not be maintained In this country
longer than I am able to get rid of
it." William Jennings Bryan in a
Spcecii at Knoxville, Tenn., Deliv
er, ed Sept. 10, 1890.
Democratic Prodigal Sons.
Hi: COlTRSi: of such Demo
crats as David II. Hill, cx
Keeretary Olney, JJ. M.
Shepard, Rouike Cockran
and varlousntheis vho four years ago
openly or hooretly fought the candi
dacy of Mr. Hryan, but 'who this year
offer lump excuses for supporting It,
Is not illflleult to explain.
It Is tiuo that the Bryan of 1900 Is
Identically the same Hryan at whom
these men In 1SD3 alired broadsides
of attack; and that there Is not a
hentence in his platfo: m of that year
which Is not this year re-atllnned.
Hence. If he was dangerous then, he
? equally as dangetous now; and they
ttero cither mistaken In opposing him
then or they are Insincere In sup
porting him now. W will not Insult
their Intelligence! to ns-uino that they
arc Inlluenced by Hrjan's now hrare
crnHs of "Imperialism" and "militar
ism." These may frighten the weak
minded and timid but they lepiesent
no tenors for men of Mv. Olney'.s type.
They know better than to shy at such
jihontoitis.
The re.il explanation is simple. They
aie looking to future itsults. Brynn,
following his defeat In lS9t, developed
such pcu'onnl popularity among tho
Deinoeiatle niases that his opponents
within the party weie unable to pre
vent his lenomlnati'ii! They tried
their best to sldetinek lilm and failed.
Hut another defeat will end Hiyan as
n presidential candidate. However
piomlnunt he may remain as a public
speaker and ns a leader of the Popu
HRtlc tentlinvnt of the west and wo
do not mean to say that another de
feat will exMngtilsli lilm: far from It
it Is unteasonable to assume that af
ter two successive failures to land
the chief pibc In the political con
test he would demand or could secuie
u third chance, save possibly after
n long Interval of yeais. Democratic
ilofat In I iiio will mean a reorganiza
tion of Democratic Icadeishlp for 1001.

olnoy. Shepnid, Cochran and Hill so-j
thlv. Thev also see lh.it to piollt by
tho pinspectlvi' -juatlon they must
I "turn like pioillgals to the party fold.
Hill playid tho ptodif.il role to per
iectlon at Kanas Cl'y and had hard
work to prevent the convention from
gtxlng him the fatted calf befoie he
was toady for it. Olney, Shepard and
thft rest nr plnvln? It with greater
energy but le.s finesse. They aro
more clumpy than Hill. They don't
equal lilm In knowing how to shade
tholr parts.
The working out of this progiamnv
pecjessltates Hiyan's defeat. Hryan's
election would make Hryan paiamount
lor years and he would hat illy hug
to his bosom those ha knifed him In
'06, and whom he knows uie ready to
lcnlto hlin now. We think that Hryan
wijl bo defeated and thnt tho calcu
lations of the gold Democratic prodi
gals irv that respect ere well founded.
Hut no thanks for that defeat will be
owjngjto them. They are "laying a
pitiably, pait In cunent politics. It
do is them little credit.
An tdeal opening day enabled the
puhllo.Hchools to Kuma their activi
ties ysterduy under the most favor
able? auspices. It Is evident from the
numbers nnd enthusiasm of the pupils
ulroady enrolled that Pcranton is to
havu a vigorous campaign of educa
tion. In Kansas.
-TT-Hi: DEMOCRATS aro not
seriously claiming Kansas
JL this year. Four years ago
the people of that state
were solemnly and repeatedly assured
by the, Hryan spellbinders that the
election of McKlnley with Its Indorse
ment of the gold standing would spell
ruin to Kansas Interests. The facts
lmV not boine this prophecy out.
The value of live stock in Kansas
has Increased from $75,565,000 in 1S90
to $133,0".7,092 in 1&S9, while the value
of the farm products has risen from
$U3,20,022 to $119,749,037. Tho aggie
gate, value of the live stock and agri
cultural products In IS98 was $U9,
4b5,?22 and In 1S99 $302,801,129, an In.
cieaue of $112,958,207. When th stu
tlstlcal returns of 1D0 have been made,
Romotlme durlnjr th'o summer of 1001,
fully aa great n proportionate increase
will bo shown for this year also.
The increase In bunk deposits Is
equally slgnlllcant. These In 180G
were $30,13S.r23 runt by the last bank
statement of this year 53.478,1G11 an
IncrooBO of $23,000,000 in four yeatfl.
In ten of the most important counties
of the state the total of the number
of mortgages rccoidod was $2,000,003
less than the total of the number re
leased. The amount released was 16,
000.000. In three years the bonded In
debtedness of the state has been re
duced from $20,000,000 to $21,000,000.
Kan ins hns raised this year nearly
100,000,000 bushels of wheat, which, nt
any reasonable price, will bring $60,
000.000 Into the pockets of the farmers.
This Is not liryan's year In Kansas.
It will be observed by his letter ol
acceptance that President McKlnley
has not been f lightened Into dodging
the Isstio by the hue and cry raised In
certain iiuaiteis against expansion. In
fact Mr. McKlnley seems to rather 10
Jolco In being an expansionist.
An Immediate Issue.

N ALIi THRDG platforms

list and Silver Republicans who
have each nominated Hryan),
announce that their efforts shall be un
ceasing until the gold act shall bo
blotted from the statute books and tho
free and unlimited coinage of sliver at
1C to 1 shall take Its place.
The relative Impoitanco of the Issues
I do not stop to discuss. All of them
are Importan'. Whichever party Is
successful will be bound In conscience
to cany Into administration and legis
lation Its seveial declarations and doc
trines. One declaration will be ns ob
ligatory as nnother, but nil aro not Im
mediate. It Is not possible that these
parties would treat tho doctilne of 10
to 1, the Immediate icallzatlon of which
Is demanded by their several platfoims,
as void and Inoperative In the event
that they should he clothed with pow
er. Otherwise tholr profession of faith
is Inslnceic. It Is therefore tho Im
perative business of those opposed tn
this financial heicsy to prevent tho
triumph of tho parties whoso union Is
only assured by ndheience to the silver
Issue. "Will the American people,
through Indifference or fancied secur
ity, hazard the overthrow of tho wIfo
financial legislation of the past year
and ievle the danger of the silver

evils of shattered confidence n'nd gen

aroused them In 1SDG?
The Chicago platform of 1S00 Is re
alllrmed In Its entirety by tho Kansas
City convention. Nothing has been
omitted or recalled; so that all tho
perils then thtentened are presented
anew with the added force of a delib
erate reaffirmation. Four years ago the
people refused to place the seal o'
their npptov.il upon these d.ingeious
and revolutionary policies and this
year they will not fall to record uain
their earnest dissent.

PEDRO PATERNO'S
PEACE FESTIVAL
DETAILS OF THE MUCH-DISCUSSED
FIASCO AT MANILA.
Amusing Efforts of the Tricky Tagal
to Entrnp tho American Commis
sion and Mllltnry Authorities Into
Recognition of tho Agulnaldo Re
public Tho Peace Celebration a
Dismal Failure Paterno Dis
trusted by Americans and Filipinos
Alike.
(Cotrepondenee of the A-mclited Pren I
Manila, July SO. To a. iccent arrival,
not intimately acquainted with the
military history of the last two years,
Manila polltlcj seem a prolonged ser-
les of farces and fiascos. Any ono
Any
who know-H tho Inside workings of Lu-
zon politics Is aware of much deceit,
double-dealing nnd misrepresentation.
We have Just come thtough a cele
bration oiganlzed by Pedro Paterno
to commcmointe tho decree of am
nesty of June 21. We are now aware
of tho following facts: That the am
nesty amounts, so far, to nothing;
that tho celebration was premature,
abortive and unpopular with tho peo
ple; that Pedro Pateino organized It
for political motives of personal ad
vancement, nnd that Judge Taft, by
his foresight and prompt action, pre
vented the American o'flclal represen
tatives from being placed In a false
position. The whole affair was unfor
tunate In Its Inception, in its develop
ments nnd In Its results.
Pedro Patetno was at one time pres
ident of tho Filipino congress. He
came to Mnjilla from the insurgent
lines about four months ago and was
placed in Jail. He was later temporar
ily released by General MacArthur to
aid Don Felipe Huoncamlno in the lat
ter's efforts to bring peace to these
Islands on the basis of the absolute
recognition of American sovereignty
by the Filipino people. Paterno's po
litical longing was for independence
under American protection and he
soon diverged from Huencamlno's more
conservative measures by the publi
cation of a document advocating Phil
ippine Independence. For this breach
Paterno was returned to Jail and only
released after swearing the proscribed
oath of allegiance to the United States.
His next move was the announcement
of a two-days' flasta as a token of
Filipino appreciation of the decree of
amnesty. Ills programme Included
horse races and regattas, parades by
day and night, dancing, Illuminations
and llioworks, and a banquet attended
by prominent Filipinos, General Mac
Arthur, the American civil commission
and the foreign consuls of Manila. At
the banquet there were to be speeches
by Filipinos only, and Paterno stipu
lated that every speech must first be
submitted to himself and receive his
approval. These plans were submitted
to Genernl MacArthur nnd to General
Hell, piovost-marshal of Manila, and,
receiving the written approval and en
dorsement of these gentlemen, Pater
no w ent ahead with his prepr "atlons.
During these preparations there oc
curred seveial incidents of Interest.
Paterno caused to be erected on Ma
nila's main street ten triumphal
arches. These were to be adorned with
portraits nnd patriotic phrases. The
authoiltles discovered that portraits
of Agulnaldo were given prominent
places on some of tho arches, that in
ono instance pictures of President Mc
Klnley and Agulnaldo were placed
side by side under the same big
wreath, and that the inscribed sen
tences declared for Filipino Inde
pendence. The posters were censored
nnd edited to conform to the theory
of American sovereignty and the plc
tuies of Agulnaldo and President JIc
Klnley were lemoved. At this time
there were freely circulated through
out the city hand-bills signed with the
name of Agulnaldo and other promi
nent rebels in the field, warning all
Filipinos to desist from any partici
pation In the amnesty celebrations, and
threatening those who did so with tho
vengeance of tho riliplno revolu
tionists. These hand-bills were pal
pable fakes, printed in Manila pur
posely to alarm the people. The rumor
of an outbicnk in Manila wns spread
nnd many men actually declined in
vitations to the banquet because of
their fears that explosive bombs
would be thrown among the guests.
Disquieting rumors of this kind were
persistently floated by those Filipinos
opposed to tho celebration.
Preparations for Trouble.
Saturday, the first day of the peace
festival, saw the American guards In
Manila doubled, their cartridge belts
filled with Krag cartridges, and the
provost marshal had Issued orders that
for three days all American troops In
the city, excepting guards nnd pn
tiols, should temaln In barracks and
teady to answer a call to arms.
The celebration was to begin Satur
day afternoon, but the people of the
city took no Interest In the affair;
they were Impassive und without en
thusiasm. When questioned, the most
intelligent snid that as they could see
no result of the amnesty, they saw no
reason to celebrate its promulgation,
The less Intelligent disclaimed nny
Isnowledgo of the fiesta or its purposes.
So the horso and bicycle races and
other street games nnnounced for Sat
urday did not come off, and, with a
feeling of interest as to what might
happen, tho Invited guests repaired to
the Zorllla theater, at half-past seven
to attend the banquet. Here a large
crowd waited for two hours, their
signs of impatience and unrest being
dulv Increased by the circulation ot
tumors that Pedro Paterno had been
summoned before General MacArthur
and that the banquet had been sus
pended by military order. At 9.30,
Judge Taft and General Wilght, Colo
nel Wilder, representing General Mac
Arthur, and Lieutenant Menoher, rep
lesentlng General Hell, and Pedro Pa
terno entered the theater, and the
meal began. It was a meal and noth
ing morn. The guests were silent, only
commenting on tho music and floral
decorations on the tables, the for
eign consuls had long since gone home
and the many Filipinos nnd Ameri
cans who looked on from the boxes
and galleries wondered what the
troublo might be. There were no
speeches and no toasts. Before the
meal was actually over, tho signal to
rise was given and heartily accepted
by everyone, nnd tho company dls
peised as quickly as possible. The
theater was not cleared, however, be
fore twenty American soldiers en
tered the building, and this made the
lagging Filipinos scurry away quicker
than ever. Outside the rain came
down In tropical torrents, but tho
night was not one whit more dismal
than had been the banquet.
Tho reason for the utter failure of
tho banquet is this; Paterno had as-
sured General MncArlhur that tho
speeches there to bo delivered would
bo within the bounds of propriety
under the circumstances, and with this
assurance the military authorities, rep
resented by Colonel Wilder and Lieu
tenant Mencher, let Pnterno proceed.
They did not read over the speeches
beforehand. Under his direction nnd
with his approval the dozen speeches,
Including his own, prepared for deliv
ery at this banquet, nil dwelt on Fili
pino Independence under American
protection. They practically reiterated
tho programme for tho promulgation
of which Tatcino was put In Jail a
month ago. It was his Intention to
bring tho American military author
ities arid the civil commission to tho
banquet and then make speeches In
Spanish for Filipino Independence. Tho
control of the banquet, the festivities
nnd everything pertaining thereto were
In the hands of tho military author
ities; the commission had nothing to
do with the matter, tney were invited
guests and nothing more.
Up to the Inst moment the military
authorities were Ignorant of tho coup
conternpiate(j bv iaterno. On the nf-
tarnoon of the dny of the banquet the
commission received, from excellent
nuthorlty, true Information as to the
nature of tho speeches to be given that
evening. Judge Taft then wrote to
Pedro Paterno, saying, in substance,
that In view of the nature of the pro
posed political utterances, the commis
sion regretted they could not attend
the banquet.
The fact that the nature of Paterno's
speeches had been learned by the com
mission came to General MaoArthur's
ears, and as soon as Paterno received
Judge Taft's letter of regrets he re
paired to tho American general's resi
dence at Malacanan, arriving there
about 7.30. Here ho was told the ban
quet could not go on unless Judge
Taft would attend. Paterno Immedi
ately hurried to Judge Taft's house, In
Malate. promised Judge Taft thRt no
speeches would be made whatever at
the dinner nnd Implored the Judge to
reconsider his determination nnd at
tend; that If he would not do so, the
banquet would have to "be suspended.
Upon these representations Judge Taft
agreed to fo, and arrived at the the
atre at 9.30 p. m. The result of the
banquet has already been given.
Paterno Deceived Everybody.
This unfortunate occurrence, which,
It Is claimed, could have been pre
vented If the military authorities had
not trusted Paterno, but had them
selves ascertained the true inwardness
of his actions, has created an unfavor
able, though probably not a lasting,
Impression. It Is plain that Paterno
deceived tho authorities as to his true
Intentions with regard to tho celebra
tion; that he deceived his own peoplo
Into a belief that his fiesta was In com
memoration of Filipino Independence,
and that, had the American ofllcers
and commissioners gone on blindly, he
would have uttered arguments to
which they could not passively listen.
They could have stopped tho banquet
by force. If need bo, or they could
have retired; In either case Paterno
would have been provided with a
weapon ngalnst them. Paterno is to
day saying the banquet was n failure,
because of the Americans' discourtesy,
but does not go very far, because It
may be decided that In the deception
he attempted, nnd, In a measure, did
practice, ho has violated his oath of
allegiance to the United States, In
which case his punishment could be
severe. He Is now distrusted by both
the American civil and military author
ities, and he has been made to appear
somewhat ridiculous to his own people.
Tho local Spanish press announces his
approaching departure for Paris.
The processions announced for Sun
day, the second day of the fiesta, were
failures and everybody, both Ameri
cans and Filipinos, were glad when
this fiasco of a fiesta was over.
LAWTON'S LAST LETTEK.
"I would to God that the truth of
this whole Philippine situation could
be known to every one in America
as I know It. If the real history,
inspiration and conditions of this in
surrection, and the Influences, local
and external, that now encourage the
enemy, as well as the actual possi
bilities of these islands and peoples
and their relations to this great
East, could be understood at home,
we would hear no more talk of un
just 'shooting of government' into
the Filipinos, or of hauling down
our flag In the Philippines. If the
so-called antl-imperiallsts would
honestly ascertain the truth on the
ground and not in distant America,
they, whom I believe to be honest
men and misinformed, would be con
vinced of the error of their state
ments and conclusions and of the
unfortunate effect of their publica
tions here. If I am shot by a Fili
pino bullet, it might as well come
from one of my own men, because I
know from observations confirmed
by captured prisoners that the con
tinuance of fighting is chiefly due to
reports that are sent out from
America."
