Mr. Bryan's solution of the Philippine problem is a protectorate by the United States over a government set up and ad ministered by the natives, e promises in case he is elected president that his first act would be to call congress to gether to take the necessary steps lead ing up to the establishment of such a prot te Where 18 the : States to exercise tectorate the other country? Mr. Bryan professes to be particularly appreliensive that the constitution of the United 8 to be over thrown, He sets himself up as the great protector and defender of the constitu tion against its subversion or violation. His principal chavge against the admin- istration of President McKiuley is that the president has been exercising au- thority not conferred upon him by the constitution. But what clause in the constitution will empower a president to establish a protectorute the Philippines? Where is there anything in that instrn ment that would authorize the president and congress acting together to set up such a protectorate? The word “protectorate” does net oc cur in the constitution of the United States. Search from the beginning to the end of that document and not reference to a protectorate can be dis- covered. Not only this, but in all the history of the republic, from its birth down to the present time, not a single precedent can be found where the United States has embarked in the pro tectorate bLusiness. This government has acquired new territory in a variety of ways—by purchase, by treaty, by an nexation and even Ly conquest, but it has never undertaken to vouch for the obligations of another country by means of a protectorate over it. If there is no provision for a protec- torate to be found in the constitution, where would Mr. Bryan get his author ity to carry out his Philippine program?

The negro has nothing that we want that was not taken from us by force and [ him He has land, no no heritage- nothing but a right to Lelp govern which was given wrongfully to him. When take the ballot from him we leave him in a far better condi tion than he found himself when e came among us result of Yankee thrift and speculation.” In short, the Bryanite democrats of the south will unqualiiedly condemn it and we conti dently expect to see it denounced from that section in vigorous language, The strange thing is that men who could adopt such a declaration as that above could at the same time anuounce their intention to support the candidate of a party which Las deprived colored American citi of their constitu tional rights and proposes to go on doing The southern democrats are de termined to ellminate the negro from politics, although in order to do so they must violute the Declaration of Inde. pendence and nullify the constitution They Intended to deprive him of any voice in government and to tax bLim without representation. They have begun carrying out this purpose by Aisfranchising the illiterate negroes and if successful in this they will go farther. There is the authority of a leading southern paper that they hope fer suc cess through changes in the supreme court of the United States which will render that tribunal more favorable to such disfranchising legislation as that of Leuisiana and North Carolina. In other words, the southern democrats are counting upon the election of Bryan in the expectation that the supreme court will be made subservient to their desires. How is it possible for any one who holds that the Filipinos have in glven we | alienable rights which the governwent | ot the United States is in equity bouud to respect to aid in the election of a presidential candidate who is depended upon to indorse and perpetuate an in- justice to colored American citizens that involves a nullification of the federal constitution? The new chancellor of the State uni versity, Prof. E. Benjamin Andrews, is likely to get himself into trouble at the very start. He has been talking to an | assembly of Nebraska teachers and tell- ing them that the cause of the war in China rests with Russia, This is in di rect conflict with the assertion of the Omaha Bryanite organ that the party for the war in China is President MeKinley. It is plain that Chancellor Andrews has not yet read the learned disquisition printed in that sheet but a few days ago in which it proved to its own satisfaction that were it not for McKinley's Philippine policy there would have been no Boxer upris- ing in China and no necessity for the rescue of the legationers.

New Zea land is one of the so-called ““free colonies, nossessing representative {nstitutions and ted with Great Britaln by the slen of restrictive ties. “The re 1s that the legislation must meet approval of a representative of her ma the queen that no law made in Zealand may traverse the foreign pol of the empir encroach upon the rights of any under the flag.”” The queen’s representative is a governor, who exercises the same functions in the colony which the ign in England The constitution 1s modelled throughout after the Euglish cabinet system. There Is & two-chambered as: composed of legislative council of forty-five mem- bers and a house of representatives of sev enty-four members. The members of the former are appointed for seven years nom inally by the governor, but really the min Istry in power. This upper house is sup posed to represent the landed and capital istic classes, but it never blocked pro- gressive legislation for any length of time, because it is amenable to the threat of flooding the upper house,” which has % potent also in England. The nembers of the lower house are elected for three years by universal manhood and womanhood suffrage. The only qualifica ton for voting i residence of three months in the district. The cabinet, which is composed of members, 18 consti- tuted in the same manner as is its English prototype. It is strictly responsible to the which is thus the real govern ing power in the colony According to the estimates of the Brit ish government, the total cost of the South African war will be $30 This sum Includes over $13,500,000 for bringing 13 000 English troops away and sending Cana dian, Australian wud Indian contingents home. About 45,000 men are to be left in South Africa, of which number 15,000 will be armed colonists, Lord Roberts thinks 30,000 will suffice for a permanent garrison In all, Cape Colony and Natal have sup- plied about 23,000 troops to the British army and 10,000 to the Boer army The contingents of volunteers from Aus tralia, Canada, India and Malta aggregate about 15,000, Altogether, had some 235,000 men under his command— the largest army England has ever had en- gaged dn A war. About 150,000 volunteers will shortly assemble in England, at a cost of $2500,000, for fourteen days' drill, this being a larger number than was expected For the operations in China $15,000,000 bave been provided.

Lanessan, the French minister of | marine, has published through his bureau @ brochure containing notes on China which it 1s expected will be carefully studied by the French officers destined for the district between Tien Tsin und Pekin According to M. Lanessan’s publication the seasons there are well defined, raine commencing in June and ending in October. This is the period of southerly winds and high temperatures. In Novem- ber, December and January it is very cold and the winds are northerly, with storms of snow or frozen dust. Floods occur in the rainy season. Thick dust lies along the ground in the winter. Potable water is rare. The natives drink tea as a rule French marines out there drink distilled water, and as the columns for Pekin can- not be supplied with it, they are to drink tea and use pocket filters on the march The Lapeyreve filter, with permanganate of potash, which destroys microbes, is sup- plied to the troops. Wells are to be disin- fected with permanganate of potash, five to ten grammes per liter of water. It s used with carbon and fine sand as a flter. Soldlers are warned to avoid Chinese alco- hol, especially that which s worse the darker it is, and also agaiust pork and river fish. The diseases o guard against in the hot months are sunstroke, congestion of the liver, inter- mittent fever and diarrhoea or cholera, and in the cold months discases of the chest or throat and rheumatism. The men should be revaccinated for smallpox. 1t is confidently expected in London mili tary circles that Lord Kitchener of Kha toum will shortly be released from act- ing as chief of staff to Lord Roberts and be appointed commander-in-chief in India According to the prevalling custom the post s given alternately to an Indian and A British officer. The late commander-in- chief, Sir William Lockbart, was an In- dian officer, and therefore the coveted command now naturally falls to a British ofticer FFor the last six months Sir Arthur Power Palmer has been acting commander-in chief, and the Calcutta and Bombay press are loud in thelr petitions that he should have the appointment, but he is an Indian officer, and the authorities in Downing street are said to be averse to altering the rule of appointment It Is believed that any ill-feeling that may exist will be overcome by the ap pointment of Sir Arthur to an important command in China. It is believed that the appointment of Lord Kitchener India would be very popular there, as they have great admiration for the hero of Omdur- man. He is also said to enjoy, not only the confidence of Lord Curzon, the viceroy of India, but also his intimate friendship. As reported in a cable dispatch from Pretoria, the Boers of General Prinsloo’s who recently surrendered, will to join General Cronje at St will be dispatched at once to A tew weeks ago Sir West Ridg governor of recelved a dispatch from Lord Roberts, saying that it was very unlikely that he would send any Boer prisoners at all to Ceylon. Al- though this was taken to mean that the commander-in-chief of the Britlsh forces in South Africa deemed that the war would soon be at an end, the preparations for the prisoners already ordered by the War office For over threc month accommodation of over their guard in the Dirjatalana valley been in preparation.

In the sense that he spent [ 1ittle of it. that is true. But to some men |the joy of acquiring is far greater than the pleasure of dispensing. Mr. Huntington | found his satisfuction in getting money, | 1ot in spending it | Chicago Post It is told of him that he once actually upbraided a certain other| millionaire for his public-spirtedness and ' generosity. He held that it was foolish to glve so freely. “Well, Collis,” was the reply, “you may leave more money when you die, but I will have the larger funeral, and there is a good deal of homely phi losophy in that remark. New York World: Mr. Huntington was) the most truly fmperial lobbyist ever known at Washington, and some of his letters to his agents, directing thelr opera- tions, displayed a knowledge of human pature and a cynical estimate of the politi clan’s character that help to explain his success in promoting and defeating legls ation to serve his interests.

For men who sought and won riches, but were some- thing besides money spinners, he had a tolerant contempt. They seemed weaklings to him. He planned and worked at his trade as if he were to live rorever in this world. There are few hearts made sore by his taking off | New York Tribune: Mr. Huntington did | not escape the easy and graceless censure to which those who are instrumental in providing thousands of their fellow-men with employment and the means of hap- piness are commonly subjected. But he was fortunately constituted, and malice had little power to diminish his enjoyment of the strenuous life which has ended so suddenly, while shere still seemed to cars of health and activity before him. Baltimore American: The work he did was done so well that it will last forever. To have started in life a poor boy; to have added whole states to the domain of the nation: to have builded thousands of miles of railroad, erected great shipyards founded cities, provided employment for half a century to thousands of his fellow- men, and to have made himself out of nothing into one of the world's moving factors, are achievements reached by few men In the world's history. Chicago Tribune: He has been with being unscrupulous in his dealings. It {s certain that he was hard and un- yielding and that he often pushed one of his,enterprises to success at the cost of utterly crushing out of existence less powerful competitors.
