During the administration of Presi dent McKlnley great and important changes have taken place in tho gen era estimate put by the Orient upon the United States of America, says J, Sioit Fasseit, the distinguished New York Republican leader. Previous to 1896 there was prevalent only a vague notion of our wealth and jr power as a nation. It was general ly understood that we were great money makers, manufacturers and ' traders; that we had a small and In efficient army and a small and untried navy. Compared with the military and naval strength and display of European ' nations, and compare with the diplo matic equipment of thesi nations, the J United States suffered In the minds of moat Orientals, who an pi ifoundly Im pressible by the outward and t-'iowy 1 demonstrations of wealth and power and the disposition and ibillty to use! them. ) Since tin resurrection of Industrial activity, due to Republican policies under President McKlnl ly's admlnis- J. SLAT FA - : : . tratlon, and more emphatically since the demonstration of our vast military and naval resources In the Spanish and ' Philippine wars, a new and truer con-1 ception of our power and dignity as a I nation has taken deep root in the Ori-1 ental world, as Indeed It hai thrOHghr I cut all the world. New consideration has been extended to' o".:'- liplomalii'. consular uad military and naval rep resentatives abroad. Traveling Amer- leans have been treated with Increased respect. Greater Interest has been' manifested In American machinery and manufactures and wider fields have been opened for thr Investment of American capital and the operations of, Amerli an enterprise. IN THE ORIENT, it is understood that America has no sinister designs, politically ..r terri torially, upon the Oriental dates, bul that her Interests are all In th' line of universal peace and general order and security for the purposes of mu tual Intercourse and trade. The fchange fif attitude from tolerant Indifference t.i solicitous friendliness has already, 11, tly increased existing sources of 1 1 ind opened up many new ones. Tills change of front, which is so man-1 Ifest as to deeply Impress Americans v. 1 have long been In the cist, comes at 1 time when existing oonditlbnj at 1 are more happily fitted to en- j abl 11 to avail ourselves of It than for man: S' rs The return of prosperity 1 nt borne, due to nn hnmut monetary standnrd and a protective tariff, has' m&mtiaviftfl mnftttftiotitrAra I.I .

Aggressive American enterprise al- 1 ready has Its eager representatives in , every laud whose consts are washed by Oriental waters. Since 1 shS the ton-1 nagc capacity of steamships plying be tween Asiatic ports and America have been constantly overtaxed. The de mand for freight and passenger car riers hss continually outgrown the sup ply. Vessels are constantly leaving freight behind them because of lack of carrying capacity. The United States U constantly Increasing Its exports of wbeat. flour, cotton, oil. coal, machin ery and merchandise to the Orient. Americans are opening up mines, mills, railroads, electric plants and trading concerns In all the east. Under the fostering care of Republican policies we have been able not only to supply our own home markets but to invade Buccessfully the home of cheap labor, the Orient. War upon the sanctity of our courts, war upon the efficiency of our army and navy, war upon our protected In dustries, war upon capital and war upon an honest currency and an honest standard are Inevitably, anil by un avoidable consequence, wars upon the oxtenslon of our foreign trade and upon that good esteem which we now enjoy throughout the east and through out the world. The fact never should be lost sight of that, without indus trial prosperity at home, we can enjoy no commercial prosperity abroad: that the same policies which build up Amer ican enterprises In America establish American successes outside of America, attd our situation In the Orient must always depend upon our situation at home, and our situation nt home must depend upon those fostering princi ples of protection and integrity which have characterized the McKlnley administration. FUSION GETS A BLACK EYE. Insurgent; Are Now Assailing Former Speaker Walton. WILL NOT All) DEMOCRATS.

With but a few weeks remaining of the campaign the Hi publican party leaders are becoming more confident every hour of the poll ing of 1 large Hi publican vote in Penn sylvania, and the) have no doubt about the election of a large majority of the Republican candidates for the legisla ture Tie re are several congressional districts in whieh there are very bitter contests, but the party managers are quite hopeful if hi Idlng 'heir own. and possibly making some gains. Chairman Reeder, of the Republican state committee, is giving close atten tion to the congressional district lights, and says that he Is much encouraged by the activity shown by members of the Republican county commP'ccs and other lullu.atlal party workers. The dectlon of Republican candidates for congress and the legislature has been Imrerllb d by the fusion movements be 1 1 the ho-c died Republican insur gents and the Ouftey Democrats work ing in harmony for the defeat of Re publican nominees. QUFFEYITES CONFER There was a big gathering here last week of Democratic politicians, with Ouffey at their head, to further their campaign for the capture of a majority of the members of .he legislature and the election of members of congress. The Democrats are banking entirely upon the support they expect to re celve from the followers of David Mar tin and William Kllun and their asso ciates in tin fusion movement Ouffey wears a way hopeful smile, and he is telling his Democratic lieutenants what great things they may look for In the future by standing In with the Flinn Martin Insurgents. Ouffey expects to have a Democrat elected speaker of the house of representatives and to control the appointments of committees. He wilt, however, be greatly disappointed with the result WALTON A BTALWART. While Ouffey Is doing his best to !m presa Democrats Unit they are to be great gainers by the fusion tnovt ment, It Is manifest that neither Martin nor Flinn nor any of their Insurgent allies will bo abb to deliver the votes to carry through the fusion candidates for tho legislature. 1 Insuigi got a verj hard blow Alien Dairy F. Wal loi . v . id by David Martin 1 at for state senator in the Fifth district, publicly announced that he wonld not partici pate tn thr fusion deal with the Dem ocrats ami mat be proposed to support the full H ublican ticket This was a surprise 1 1 Martin and Flinn, who ex pect ii Walton to take the stump for the fusion candidates in this district. Walton was beaten by a majority of 8,000 votes for tin- R publlcun nomi nation for senal 1 by WlUlam EL Ber kelbach, who ran as the candidate of 1 In, stalwart element Herkelbneh was pledged to go into the Republican caucus for the t'nited States senator ship and abide, by the action of the ma jority. Walton vas very much disappointed when he failed to get the nomination, as he was led to believe that Martin, with all the cash ut his command, could not be beaten at the primaries. "I am a Republican," said Mr. Wal ton, however, when asked what be proposed to do in the coming contest. "I WlltfuAort the full Republican ticket, and 1 believe every Republlcau should do so, no matter what may have been his preferences before the conventions wore held." Mr. Walton, slnoc he has come out for the election of his successful op ponent, Mr. Berkelbach, has become the target for all the Insurgent news papers of this city which carry the Wanamaker advertisements. As if penned by one-man, editorials have ap peared in all these papers savagely at tacking Mr. Walton. A few days be fore they were telling of the many ad mirable nallt!e or this gentlemnfi. Tb y told cf bis aic as an orator, his set vices spent - of the house of representative"! his experience as a lawyer and a lav. ' taker, and of his popularity in the community. Since Mr. Walton has refused to fol low the Wanamaki r-Martln-FUaa out fit into the Democratic party, or to op pose the nominees of the Republican party for the le lalatuti . be ceases to be the Idol of the Insurgent editorial writers and is attacked as a weakling, a man without for and a unworthy of cousidt . .11 ion. Mr. Walton's friends smile as they point out the inconsist ency of the men w ho, when they cannot rule the Republican organization, make deals with Democrats to defeat the will of the majority at Republican prima ries and convert OUS Mr. Walton's friends are turning In for the full Republican ticket and there is no di ubt about the election of Mr. Berkelbach to the s- rate and the success of i vory Republican can did, ite lor tin bou ; ripri'.MUtallvca in this lenatorlal district Mr, Walton ni J' r. has met the ap proval of Republicans throughout the state, it unquestionably has had con siderable Influence upon Republicans who have been unsuccessful In pri mary election contests, but who be eome stronger Ri publicans by standing by tic successful candl lates. There hi 1 en considerable activity ani u.g local Republican leaders wlth ir the last few days, which Indicates tL..t the Martin influence in the organ'- ' :. here! will shortly be ob-llt-. . ; entirely, Malrtin seems to realize this. I They tell a story of a meeting bc tw .ii Martin and i liun ju.it alter thu defeat ol Walton lor state senator and the turning lown of the other Insur gent candidates for the legislature at the recent primal . FLINN AND MARTIN. "Why. Dan .' eald Flinn, "you do not seem to have hi en much of a fac tor at the primal ics. They knocked yon clear over the ropes." "Well," n plied David, probably you could not have done any better your self. You do not km i. what I had to run up against. Yon know that in my other fights 1 have always bad the Republican organisation at my back, and then dm In; tie- Warwick admin istration nil tiv police and Bremen were with rre and ! could havo then turn in any war 1 wanted. Things are different n '' hen, besides, the other side had lots of money." "Well." ..fo-'"'. FHnn Quickly, "yon had all the money y 1 could use, and if you wanl A 1 re you knew you could get It." "That is not It." said Martin. "Wo had money noui b, 1 it If the same or ganization was put up against you In Pittsburg you would not have done any better. All I have to Lay Is that you had better prepare yourself, for I be lieve that whe.iTTiey get through with me, they will send some of their bright young men out to Allegheny county and show you what it Is to fight. I tell yon It Is no easy matter running an insurgent campaign when the stal wart Republicanism of a district Is ap pealed to." Flinn did not bo) ranch In reply to this, but Martin evidently gave him Something to think about. It Is said that there will be a stiff fight put up against the continuance of Flinn at tho bead of Hie Republican organization In Pittsburg and that he will shortly be made to fight to retain control unless he discontinues his alliances with the Ouffey Democrats. Reports from Chester, Montgomery and other near by counties Indicate that the fusion movement Is golnir to pieces and that the regular Republican candidates will bo elected by large majorities. BRYAN AT JS WORST. Willi Talk of tin- Presidential Can didate u ttit Plaanelal lesae. It is nut pleasant tn find a candidate for president of the United States talk Inn us foolishly or dishonestly as Mr. liryau talked at Monett, Mo.: "The Republicans are now boasting thnt we havo reached a point where we can loan money to people In other countries I want t ask you whether you inward that ah an evidence of pros perity. Why would any man SLnd his money to Burope toi Investment if he could llnd a place in tins country to Invest Itt Monoy sent abroad for In vestment must be sent for one of two reasons, cither because the man who sends the money over there thinks more of the people over there thap he does of the people here and does it for love and devotion, or because It is u matter of business, that is, because he can invest It to butter advantagl In a European country than he can in this country." "Mr. Bryan either knows or does not know," says the New York Sun, that the country has accumulated no much money under that financial system which he is trying to break down that it has money to lend at n low rate of Interest o the reFt of tho world. He either knows or does uot know that S low rate of inerest is good for the Country iu general, especially for that "debtor class" for -huh he shows so much concern. He either knows or does not know that a country which is able to lend musi be prosperous. He either knows or does not know that the big slice of tho German loan taken by a life Insurance company represent tn large measure the savings of many men In moderate circumstances. "If he does not know these things, he la too big a fool to be president. It he does, and yet talks as he talked at Monett, he is too dishonest to be president."
