Bry- anin the Commoner to-day discusses President Roosevelt's message. He opens by saying it contains much that is commendable and then at- tacks the administration’s utterances on most of the important points. He says the president is mistaken when he assumes there is general ac- quiescence in our present tariff ar- rangements, continuing: “None can read the reciprocity passage without|being convinced that the reciprocity idea will be entirely subordinanted to the demands ofthe beneficiaries of the high tariff. In fact he says as much when he declares ‘reciprocity ),must be treated as the handmaiden of protection,’ and there- fore, like{the handmaiden, is subject to discharge on short notice. The Commoner then calls attention to the absence of mention of the Boer war and holds that the financial question is too important to be dis- missed in 800 words as it is in the message. On the trust passage, Bryan says: , “Perusal of these utterances will convince the unprejudiced observer that the} president has heard from the trust}magnates since he madehis Minneapolis speech, He admits the consolidation of capital now going on but thinks mueh of the antago- nism to it is without warrant. He borrows the phraseology of the trust defenders when he says the average man Was never so prosperous as now. The inference is natural—that the trust_evil is not really serious. It is doubtful whether anyone as badly ‘Friday is sweeter candies than ever before. our lucky day. Come in next Friday and see what they have got.

Y., Dec. 12.—Walter M. | Brummer, the 16-year-old son of battalion chief Michael Brummer, of the Buffalo firedepartment, who was kidnaped on Monday by five tramps was found at Batavia by his father. 3rummer is a studentin a mechan- ical institute. On Monday he took | ‘i an electric car ride to Lancaster to ee examine machinery being installed f there. : When he got off the car near De- eae pew he was approached by a man ‘ about 40 years old, who offered to show him the way to the shop. Brummer soon found himself the prisoner of five tramps, who searched ; him and took everything of value he ‘ had. They would send the boy to the front door of a house to ask for money, and while he engaged the at- tention of the inmates they would go in the back door and rob the house. He escaped from them at Alden, but they caught him again and took him toAlexander. Before going into Bavaria the robber band separated to avoid attention. Brummer was placed in charge of one tramp, who took him to W. D. Smith’s hard- ware store in Batavia. While the tramp was trying to steal some- thing Brummer dashed out the back door and found his,way to the police station, where he told his story and word was sent to his father, who went after him. Brummer had walked so far that his shoes were torn off and his feet badly swollen. “Go 'Way Back and Sit Down.” Kew York San.

Hegives the benefit of doubt to the corpora- tions and nowhere expresses as much solicitude for the masses as for the great combinations of capital. “The Commoner thinks thesugges- tion of regulation through publicity would result in a long legal fight which would tide the party over an- other presidential election. Moreover, it says, the president fails to recognize that any private monopoly is always a menace to the public and essentially and eternally wrong. As to imperialism, the Com- moner says: “The president seems to regard a government based on force as the best for certain classes.

From the beginning The Republic has refused to pay one penny, has refused to retract one word, or to qualify one expression, it had published. Mr. Cardwell knows that he has had no conference with any representative of The Re- public. He knows that he bas not received one dollar of The Republie’s money and from The Republic not a whisper of apology. It is reported that he admits hav- ing received money. If this be true, we challenge him to state who paid him the money and how much he was paid. In the letter of which Mr. Cardwell complained and for the publication of which he sued The Republic, there was no reflection upon his reputa- tion and no impeachment of his character comparable with that con- tained in the telegram at the head of this article, if it be genuene. It was The Republic he had charg- ed with libeling him, and, if his charge was true, frem The Republic his reparation was due. To take money from another source, and for such money to dismiss the case, and leave The Republic unrepentant an defying, is to engage in a barter too infamous for apt characterization in decent speech, ‘The man who does such a thing puts his honor upon the auction block and hucksters it in places and at prices to suit whomsoever is. wil- ling to buy. * The suit has been dismissed, but it has not been settled, and will not be. The Republic stands upon its defense. It dares Mr. Cardwell to the issue now, as it has from the be- ginning. It leaves to Mr. Cardwell whatever he has gotten, if anything, as clear gain, with his original stock impaired. AMERICA’S WORK IN CHINA. Commissioner Rockhill’s Report Sent to Congress. Washington, Dec. 12.—The long expected report of special commis- sioner Rockhill to the secretary of state onthe result of his workin connection with the Chinese negetia- tions in Pekin has been submitted to congress, Mr. Rockhill tells of visits he made to the viceroys of Shanghai and Wuchang, which he said did nota little toward furthering the interests of peace. Mr. Rockhill says he fully concurred in all the measures that Minister Conger had been and was advocating. Regarding the final negotiations of the powers with—China,; Mr. Roek- hill says: — Though it-became—necessary,atter protracted discussion in the confer- ence, to accept the proposition of the other powers to demand of China the sum total of their losses and dis- bursements, reaching the enormous sum of $333,000,000, our insistence the weight of the arguments adduc- ed in favor of such a policy, resulted in closing the indemnities at the abeve lump sum, when they bid fair to go on swelling indefinitely. This and the acceptance of your sugges- tion that the indemnities be paid in. bonds issued at par and bearing a low rate of interest (4 per cent was finally agreed upon) and running for forty years, resulted insaving @ vast sum to China, hastened the evacua- tion of the country by the expedi- tionary forces and the restoration of order and of normal relations with the Chinese government.” Will Hang December 20.
