i WILLIAM J. BRYAN’S VIEW. He Writes an Article Against ‘‘Gunpowder Gospel.'' New York, Aug. 2—William J. Bryan discusses the Philippine ques- tion in this week’s Independent. He} says: “The Philippine question is important because fundamental prin- ciples are involved in its discussion. There are two sources of govern- ment, force and consent. Monarchies are founded upen ferce, republics upon consent. The Declaration of Independence asserts that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and this is the doc- trine to which we have adhered fer more than a century. If the doctrine set forth in the Declaration of Independence is sound, how can we rightfully acquire sovereignty over the Filipinos by a war of eonquest? If the doctrine set forth in the Deelaratien of Inde- pendenee is sound, how can we rightfully purehass sovereignty from a Spanish sovereign whose title we disputed in Cuba and whose re- bellious subjects we armed in the Philippines. In the beginning of the Spanish war, congress denied that our nation had any thought ef extending its territory by war. If we then had no thought of securing by conquest new territery in the western hemis- phere, why should we now think of securing in the eastern hemisphere new races for such subjugation? It is surprising that any believer in self-goverament should favor forcible annexation, but still more surprising that any one whe believes in the Christian religion should favor the substitution of foree for reason in the extension ef our nation’s influence. If we adopt the gunpowder gospel in the Philippines, how long will 1t be before that principle would be transplanted in American soil? So long as our arguments are addressed te reason and the heart, eur progress is sure, but cam we without danger to Christianity resort to the ancient plan ef injecting re- ligion into the bedy through bullet- holes? The question is frequently asked, what can we do? Nearly two months elapsed between the signing of the treaty and the beginning of hostili- ties in the Philippiaes. During that time the President and congress might have given to the Filipinos the same assurance of independence that was given to the Cubans. Such assurance would have prevented bloodshed. If the president is not willing to take the responsibility of enforcing the doctrine set forth in the Decla- ration of Independence he can eall congress together and let it take the responsibility. A special session would be less expensive than the war, not to speak of the principles involved. Our nation is protecting the Re publies of Seuth America from out- ward interference while they work out their destiny. We can extend the same doctrine to the Philippines and, having rescued the inhabitants from a fereigm yoke, we car guard them from molestation while they develop a republic in the Orient.” Judge Surprised. Dallas, Tex., Aug. 2.—After hav ing been out scarcely more than half an hour, the juryin the ease of Leonard Parsons, the young white maa tried on the charge of criminal- ly assaulting Ordelia Sheppard, a 12 year-old black girl, returned a verdict of “not guilty.” After recovering from his surprise Judge Olin addressed the jury as follows: “You are men of integrity and of intelligence, but, like all etter men, youare liable te make mistakes. That is what you have done in this ease. You have aequitted this de- fendant and, in doing so, you have set at liberty one who is guilty.” He then told Parsons to go. Parsons was a member of a Penn- sylvania regiment of volunteers, and | drifted to Texas after being muster- ed out at the end of the Spanish war.

C., Aug. 3.—Sen- jator Jones of Arkansas wished to |return home from Europe as early \as September 10, but his physician |laid upon him the injunction not to |leave there before October 1. The |Senator writes to a friend in tbis leity that he feels as well as at an | time in twenty years and has no | attack of the heart disease from | which he suffered. | Itis learned from a friend of the | Senator that he is not ambitious to |hold the ehairmanship of the execu- ae committee of his party, but that it was not deemed wise to resign at this time and invite a scramble for the place. Hence, without quoting Senator Jones himself, he says that the Sen- ator will resign the leadership of the democratic committee by the time of the national convention so as to give an opportunity for the choice of another man. | Herbine is well adapted to the eure of fevers of all kinds, because it thoroughly cleanses the stomach and bowels of all bilious humors, and expels all impure secretions of the body.

Alderman Michael Brick, democrat, forcibly opposed the measure. He said, in explaining his position. “Ido not think that we sheuld throw ourselves inte a state of adu lation of a here because he has won a battle. It hardly strikes me that the admiral is to be put in the same category with Grant, Sherman and other great military herees, I de not however, wish te discredit him in the least, but I de protest against making hima second Boulanger in America.” F Lawton to the Fore, Washington, Aug. 3.—Major Gen. Lawton is to have command of all the eavalry troops in the Philippines when the active campaign opens in the fall. The plan of campaign de- cided upon by Major General Otis contemplates a larger use of cavalry than in the last campaign. He already has in the Philippines the entire Fourth Cavalry. He has been authorized to organ- ize one of the provisional regiments in the Philippines as cavalry, and eight companies of the 3rd Cavalry are under orders for Manila. It is probable that other regiments will be sent out, so as to give General Lawton a strong cavalry force. Democrats Select Ticket, Baltimore, Md, Aug. 2.—The democratic state convention which was held at Ford’s Opera house in this city to-day resulted in the nom- ination of the following ticket: For Geyernor, John Walter Smith of Worcester county. For Attorney General, Rayner of Baltimore. For Comptroller, Joshua W. Her- ing of Oarroll county. The convention was unusually harmonious, and all the nominations were made by acclamation, Edwin Warfield, Mr. Smith’s principal op. ponent, withcrawing at the last moment and placing the successful candidate in nomination. Suicide With Dynamite. Cumberland, Wis, Aug. 3.— Christwold, s farmer near Perkin Lake, this county, committed sui. side to day by deliberately blowing off his head with dynamite. He placed a quantity of dynamite ina hole in the ground, laid his head over it and touched eff the fuse, ex- elaiming:> “Here I ge, and the Lord go with me.” His head and one arm were com pletely tern away. Christwold was 30 years old and leaves a wife and family, who are unable te assign any | cause fer the deed.

Miss Barten says that there are now in Cuba 50,000 destitute orphan children of reconcentrades, who have in the last few years died of starva- tion and want. These children are scattered througheut nearly every city and town of sufficient size and insportance to receive the driven out country peeple. They are not ehil- dren of low or doubtful origin; many are of the best Cuban families. The reconcentrados were largely tke county people of property, farmers and small planters Miss Barton says: “The Cubans are not respensible | P* for the destitution of these children. | When the starving recencentrados were driven into the towns the resi- dents divided food and clothing with them, and then divided again and again, but there was a point at which they had to stop giving. Only for the Cuban rations dis- tributed by our army it would bea serry lookout for these helpless lit- tle ones. They range in number from 30 to 75 and even 100 in the various towns, utterly homeless, and no one has the least personal inter- est in them or responsibility for them. The townspeople still do what they can, but their main de- pendenee is begging frem the pas- sengers of every passing train.

On the other hand, fewer officers died from disease proportionately than privates. Out of the 23 officers were drowned and five died of dis- ease, as follows: | gitis, 2: rheumatism of the heart, 1; alysis, 1 wounds received in action, nine were killed uccidentally, 23 were drowned and seven committed suicide. One hundred and six died of typhoid fever, 89 of small-pox, 47 of dysen tery, 28 of pneumonia, 19 of malarial fever and 14 meningitis. The re- maining seventeen died from various diseases. Of the fourteen deaths among civilians, seven were from smallpox and three from gunshot wounds received in action. CAUGHT BY THE DRAG ROPE, Boy Carried Up by a Balloon Returns in Sifety.
