"If theie Is any one who believes
the gold standard is a good thing,
or that it must he 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
Speech at Knoxville, Tenn., Dellv
eied Sept. 16, 1800.
The flaine Election.
R
ESULTS OP the September
election held In Maine are
gratifying In tho extreme a.s
a forerunner of the wave of
victory that will sweep over the coun
try In November In vindication of the
policy of an administration that has
been confronted by varied and vexa
tious questions, unequalled since the
close of the war of tho Rebellion. Not
withstanding the Democrats may per
haps llnd crumbs of comfort over the
fact that there Is a slight Republican
loss as compared with the enormous
pluralities of 1S9G, the Republicans are
asslrtd by a substantial showing that
the party can depend upon a majority
almost equal to the unprecedented
llKures of 1S3G, In Fpite of the
ilespeiate efforts that have been put
forth to bring disgusted Democrats
back Into the fold In hopes that the
Maine results may have Influence upon
the Presidential election.
Ten years ago a Republican majority
nt the September election In Mulne of
12,000 or 14,000 was considered good.
When It went up to 1S.000 It was look
ed upon aB highly encouraging. It nev
er i cached 20.000 until 1894 when V.i
hard times and the souphoup tariff of
drover Cleveland were doing their
work and making Democrats ashamed
to vote their party ticket. In that year
and In 1S9G the Republican plurality
went up to phenomenal figures. But
In 189S the plurality fell olT again. The
following table gives the vote of Sep
tember In the ten past elections:

The average of all these pluralities
Is about 20,000. No Republican expect
ed tho pluralities of four and six
years ago. when the Democrats de
serted tjjplr ticket and some Gold
Democrats voted tho Republican ticket.
It has been conceded that a Republi
can plurality of 20.000 would show that
the Republican part Is stionger In
New England than In any presidential
election year previous to 1896. A plu
rality of 2.",000 would have been re
. garded as phenomenal. The hand&omo
balance o over 32,000 on the Repub
lican side of the sheet places the elec
tion of McKlnley and Roosevelt be
yond a doubt.
The hot weather appears to havo
had no visible effect In reducing prac
tical enthusiasm In Luzerne. The
Deniociats at Wllkes-Rarro yesterday
succeeilcd In "getting together" so ef
fectually t.hut It was necessaty for
the police to pull them apart.
Tho Texas Disaster.
NOT S
astc
ycai
OT SINCE the appalling dls-
ter at Johnctown eleven
4
t-eara arro, when 2,112 llos
. . . weijj sncriucea and over
;if,009,000 wotth of property de
sU'pyed,' ban the country been
vliJteH ' with a catastrophe up
prflachlng that which has overwhelmed
a large portion of tho Texas coast and
wpoueht havoc many miles Inland. It
Is 'ahnost Imposslblo to comprehend the
fury of tho tropical tempest which
forced the waters of the Gulf of Mexl
coyiver tho city of Galveston, crushed
frame buildings like egg thells, ond
sent large ships miles from the shore
and left them high and dry when the
Md receded. It Is probabla that many
days will, elapse before the loss of Ufj
has bedtfbornputed, but even If current
reportS'are much exaggerated tho hur
ricane will provo probably tho most
disastrous to Itfo that ever visited the
United States, and the damage to
property In the wide teriltory through
which tho storm passed will be enor
mous. The city of Galveston was a!
moSt destroyed, tho damage to rail
loads, Shipping, warehouses, grain ele
vators, dwellings, hospitals, churches
and property of every description Is so
great as probably to cripple Galveston
for years, while many other towns suf
ered severely. Crops aro wiped out
over a largo extbnl of territory and tho
blow that has fallen upon that section
of the country Is a grievous one. Tropl-
cal storms of like Intensity ond tie
structlvohcss are by no means uncom
mon, but their destructlvencss Is usual
ly confined to tropical regions. The
storm last year which devastated Porto
Rico wns a typical West Indian hurri
cane, resulting In great loss of life, and
such visitations In South China, tho
Philippines, tho West Indies and other
tropical lands, accompanied with the
los of thousands of lives, are reported
frequently; but If a storm of equal
severity ever before reached the United
States, it struck at a point sparsely
Inhabited. In the present Instance It
came at tho most vulnerable point on
tho coast. Galveston 13 situated on a
largo low Island running northeasterly
along the coast.
In 1872 a very fierce storm, resulting
In tho destruction of six city blocks,
visited Galveston, but Saturday's hur
ricane wos so destructive that It may
result In practically wiping tho city
from tho map. The railroads and
steamship companies since 1890 have
constructed terminals,'' docks, ware
houses, trestle bridges, sidings and
tracks costing millions of dollars, and
Galveston has reached the position of
the fifth port of the country for tho
foreign export trade. Now that the
danger of the city's position has been
demonstrated, tho railroads inuy not
rebuild nt thut point, and then the
city will sink to a small town.
Thousands have been made home
less by the frightful disaster and
thousands more have had their means
of livelihood snatched fiom them in a
twinkling. The suffering is seveie and
will doubtless continue for some time
unless calls for help meet with gener
ous response from the moid fortunate
everywhere.
The hopeful nppeaiance of the strike
situation at present Is a source of
gratification to all. From almost eveiy
direction in the valley conservative
reports Indicate that the crisis has
passed, and that there Is almost uni
versal satisfaction among miners as
well as operators that wiser counsels
have pievalled, and that a threatened
calamity certain to be far-reaching
in lesults has been averted. To the
well-meaning men who have labored
unceasingly to bring about an hon
orable and amicable adjustmrnt of
the differences between employer and
employe, due credit should bo extend
ed. It is to be hoped that settlement
will be speedily made and that peace
and prosperity may continue where
the menacing clouds of dlsoider have
of late caused unrest.
The Basis of American Rule in the
Philippines.
(From President McKinlcj's Letter ci Ami-
nnco.)
u:
NTIL CONGRESS shall take
action I directed that upon
everv division and branch
of the government of tho
Philippines must be Imposed these In
violable rules:
Tli.it in, pcr-on tliall lc ilcprhcil ot life, hlierty
or property without due process of law; tint pri
at property shall not he taken for public mo
without just compensation, that in all criminal
prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the rlcht
to a speedy and public trial, to be informed of
tho nature and c.uise of the accusation, to be
confronted nltli the witnesses acaliKt him, to
hare compulwry process for obtaining witnesses
In lil-f favor, and to Ime the nsiitance of counsel
for his defense; that excess-lie bait shall not bt
required, nor extcssiie fines imposed, nor cruel
and unmual punishment Inmcted; that no person
shall be twice put in Jeopardy for the same of
fense, or be compelled in any criminal cae to
Ire a witness against himself, that the right to be
secure against unreasonable searches and lelures
shall not be iolated; that neither slavery nor in
loluntary servitude shall exist except as a pun
ishment of crime; that no bill of attainder, or
ex post facto law shall be passed; that no law
shall be pissed abrldtfin? the freedom of speecn
or of the press, or of the riuhts of the people to
peaceably assemble and petition the government
for redress of grievances; that no law shall be
made respecting the establishment of religion,
or piohtbiting the fiee exercise thereof, and that
the frco exercise and enjojment uf lellglous pio
fession and worship without discrimination or
pieferenee shall forever be allowed.
It will be the duty of the commission to pro
mote and extend, and, as they find occasion to
Improve, the svstcm ot education already lnaug.
urated by the military authorities. In doing this
they should regard as of first importance the
extension of a system of prlmaiy education which
shall be free to all, and which Fh.ii: tend to at
the people for the duties of ritlrenship, and for
the ordinary avocations ot a civilized communl
tj. Upecial attention should he at onco
given to afTordinir full opportunity to all the
people of the Islands to acquire the use of the
English langinge
Upon all officers and cmploves of the United
States, both rlvil und military, should be lin
piessed fl sense ol the duty to observe not inciely
the material but the personal and social lUlits
of the people of the islands, and to treat them
with the same courtesy and respect for their per
sonal dignity which the people of the United
States are accustomed to require from each other.
The articles of capitulation of the
city ot Manila on the 13th of August,
1S9S, concluded with these wotds:
"This city. Its inhabitants, Its church
es nnd religious worship, Its education
al establishments and Its pilvate prop
erty of all descriptions are placed un
der the bpeclul safeguard of the faith
and honor of the American army," I
believe tlvt this pledge has been
faithfully kept. As high and sacred an
obligation tests upon the government
of the United States to give protec
tion for property and life, civil and
rellgfbu freedom, and wise, firm and
unselfish guidance In the paths of
peace and prosperity, to nil the people
of the Philippine Islands. I chat go
this commission to labor for the full
performance of this obligation, which
concerns tho honor and conscience of
their country, in the firm hope that
through their labors all tho Inhab
itants of the Philippine Islands may
come to look back with gratitude to
the day when God gave victory to the
American arms at Manila and set their
land under the sovereignty nnd the
protection (t the people of the United
States.
Tho Jacklcs who arrived In New
Yotlt dlicct fiom Mnnlla on the Hai
ti more the other day, wero doubtless
surprised that no one gteeted them In
view of the welcome that was accord
ed their comrades who rctumed with
Admiral Dewey. The hero of the pres
ent age, however, will probably be
niude to realize that the recognition
of his deeds of valor usually depends,
more upon the conditions of the public
on his appearance than upon anything
that may have been accomplished In
battle. The failure to give welcome
to the sailors who returned on the
Baltimore wns an overnight, but even
that was not so bnd ns the treatment
of tho brav.o men of Santiago who havo
been deprived of honots Justly earnnd
through tho obstlnney of certain con
gressmen woiklnsr in the Interest of
favorites.
One of the most Impressive Illustra
tions of the evils of Bryonlsm Is Riven
by tho official census returns which
show that the population of Lincoln,
Neb., the home of Mr. Bryan, has de
creased to tho extent of 27 per cent,
slnco tho census of 1890. In spite of
the excuses offered to account for the
falling off In population the trouble
Is unquestionably duo to the ascen
dancy of Popullstlc Ideas In Nebraska
for some years past. Mr. Bryan and
his friends have controlled Its govern
ment and they have repelled new capi
tal from Investment In tho state, and
caused the withdrawal of capital al
ready Invested. From tho experience
of Nebraska under Bryanlte rule, It
can be Judged what would happen to
the nation were Mr. Bryan to be In
stalled at the White House.
Withdrawing From Ptkln.
TH13 WITHDRAWAL of
American troops from China
at an early date will prob
ably be regarded with satis
faction by all, save perhapa those who
wish to make capital In denouncing
a policy that might be recorded un
der tho head of Imperialism. As the
Washington Post tersely remarks In
reviewing the situation:
"There Is no reason why tho United
States should become Involved In or be
nffected by the European politics of
the Chinese situation. And It Is be
coming qulto clear, thanks to tho
good sense of the administration, that
we nre not to be. Our Invading army
having accomplished Its purpose, the
next safe and logical step Is to with
draw from Pckln. If Americans are
not now secure at the Chinese capi
tal, protection can cosily be guaran
teed them at one of the seaports. We
have ships of war available for that
purpose. Or Americans may well bo
withdrawn from Chinese- soil alto
gether rather than risk tho dangers of
complications with European powprs.
President McKlnley and his advisers
have had the best Interests of this
country at heart and In mind In deal
ing with this question and In adhering
to the wise policy so carefully mapped
out when Pekln was relieved. We
want no foreign entanglements In the
solution of problems In the Orient. We
wnnt no at my under Waldersee. We
will have no hand In any so-called
holy war, no part In any schemo of
spoliation or partition.
"Ametlcan life and property will be
protected without European assistance.
Let there be no fear as to that. And
In duo time, In the ordinary course of
events, Indemnity will be collecteo
from China covering all that we have
expended, all that American citizens
have suffered, by reason of the fanat
ical uprising.
"Every step we havo taken In the
tragic and unhappy affair has been
prompted by high motives. Our duty
to relievo and rescue the besieged
Americans at Pekln was met promptly
and bravely. American diplomacy has
been used to good ends throughout.
The record Is a bright one in Interna
tional history, and, fortunately for us
as a nation, It Is not to be marred by
mistakes In closing the chapter.
"Nellie Bly," the celebrated news
paper woman, has recently visited
Blnghamton, and according to the local
ptess Nellie thinks the Parlor City
more attractive than anything wit
nessed during her famous globe trot
several years ago at the beginning of
the era of freak Journalism In New
York, It Is plainly evident that the
energetic globe trotter possesses dip
lomatic ns well as literary ability
calculated to make her a welcome
guest In almost any ambitious Inland
city.
Doubtful Empire State Democrats
aro suspicious that there may be
something concealed between the lines
In Hon. David Hill's reconciliation tnlk.
The man with propensities ot the
sportsman will do well to consult the
state game laws at this season before
venturing Into the brush.
With twelve presidential tickets In
the field there Is no excuse for any
voter to stay away from the poll1! this
fall.
In spite of all predictions Hon. Web.
Davis does not seem to be creating
much of a stir as an oratorical cyclone.
No -one will care to encouiage fur
ther expansion of the West Indian
weather.
Mr. Bryan will observe that the hur
ricane belt Is located In Maine at pres

TILE SAME OLD CROAKER.
From the New Vork Sun.
In IS'XI Ml. llrjan howled from a thousand
stumps that the gold standard would ruin the
country. And tho country Is richer, more
prosperous, more confident than ever tutors.
Now Mr. Urvaii is beginning to howl from a
thouisnd stumps that imperialism will ruin 'he
country.
It is fair to luumo that his later prophecies
art north Just as much as his earlier ones and
that expansion will be the source of new- pros
perity and roer. Such It has been to tho ln.

RESALF
I very well remember the evening I arrived at Madison.
My ccusin Bertha was to meet me there, coming up from Mil
waukee. She was not used to traveling and had, when she
arrived, what she called a sick headache. I induced her to
swallow a RIPANS TABULE and in half an hour she was
well enough to join me at supper at the hotel, I heard no more
of the headache, but next day Bertha bought somi RIPANS
TABULES for herself and I know that she has not had one
of those attacks for nearly a year now.
