When the dispatches from Kansas City announced the ovation to Hill in the national convention and that Hill shook his head, Colonel Bryan said, “There was probably a fly on Mr. Hill's nose and his hands were engaged, so he had to shake it off.” His newspapers have been in a state of exaltation and exultation over the accession of Richard Olney and William L. Wilson. They were members of Mr. Cleveland” t Cabinet. They were Gold Demo- crats, They were believed to be influential with the Gold Democracy. Colonel Bryan's managers have ious to secure the alliance of the Gold To do this they have snubbed silver and st 2 that B 1 will fall down and worship the gold stan- dard and all its works, i atifying to th | Gold Democrats who desired to affiliate. They felt attered. Their importance was recognized and they came objects of attention as their wicked backsliding and went again It was working smoothly, and Chairman Jones, Secretary Walsh, Editor Abbott, Coin Harvey and Buck Heinrichsen were pleased to welcome the wan- dering sinners home. There immediately appeared to the Bryanistic mind’s eye a charming vista, hung on either side with electoral votes as thick as Chinese lanterns at the feast of the dragon. At the farther end were the bubbling fleshpots, full of burgoo, racks piled high with fodder and cribs bursting with corn for the fattening of the lean kine. Timbrel and psalter, banjo and bones, sweetened the air with the notes of victory, and at the hither end of the enchanted lane entered the head of the procession, every man untying his gabe zie to replace it with the raiment of into probation luxury which hung further on. From the farther end of this day dream conld be seen the rear guard of the conquered, scowling back at the conquerors, shivering in anticipation of the tude blasts that were combing the blear landscape over which the outs and the ousted must march to Salt River. Just as this ecstatic vision was at its ht, and Richard Olney was seen arching arm in 1 with Altgeld and William L. sson in finance from Calam- receivin he scene was staged in all its happi- cence, unfortunately Colonel Bryan He had an attack of satility took possession of him. ness was scized with the hee-haws. humor. His vast ve which urned, that lack of sense of the sober fitness hich made George II, when notified of the 1 of the King, his father, and his own accession, im “Dat is von tamm lie,” overcame Colonei Bryan. His day for humor arrived and his lighter vein must be indulged. He had curbed it sitrce that fine conception of a fly on Hill's ndse, but what is bred in the bone must come out in the flesh. Colonel Bryan cannot alw: He must have Vero indulge in ragtime while do tragedy. a chance at comedy, even if the republic is in danger. His opportunity came at a reception by the Nebraska Bryan Club of Chicago. It is made up of former Nebraskans, who were frightened away from that State by Bryan’s picture of calamity that fell- upon it like a pall. Mr. Martin V. Gannon, who has given ce a chance to hunt him and has wig-wagged and megaphoned it, unsuccessfully, in Iowa, Nebraska and lllinois, is president of the club. He introduced Colonel Bryan to the throng that hung upon his words. Then Colonel Bryan opened his mouth ani the store of pearls mixed in the proportion of one pearl to two personal pronouns, first person, singular number, poured forth, like ribbons from the jowls of a conjurer. He said: “Great changes are taking place. I am glad to meet here not only those who were with me in the early days, but I am glad to meet some who were against me in the early days. I find here persons who voted against me in 1806 and I am glad to meet them. I have a forgiving nature. I am perfectly willing to forgive all who voted against me in 1896, provided they bring forth works meet for repentance. I am glad to get back the Gold Democrats who wandered away. If I had known so many were coming I would | have made arrangements to have had manufactured a large number of candy fatted calves, to give to those returning as evidence that the prodigal is welcome at home.” There now is elevation of thought and re- finement of humor! Olney and Wilson might have had a candy calf, a sugary, succulent, sweet and sac- charine calf, to suck if they had only given notice afar that they.intended to arise and go tv the house of their father, Bryan. What a dignified welcome to the returning statesmen! What a high estimate of their How gratified they must be that they return not to a party, not to a com- pany of men agreed upon some great principle, but to “me,” Bryan. If this jocund state continue and this effervescent humor grow, it will be dangerous to trust Mr. Bryan in the White House. The picture of the father of his country in the great East room will laugh its false teeth out on the floor, and his stately spouse will de- range the “do” of her hair in cachinnation. When Mr. Bryan walks abroad Jackson, sitting his rearing horse in ramrod uprightness, will drop the reins to slap his verdigris thighs and haw-haw! While Lafayette, near by, will drop his well sustained grav- it¥ and with his bronze slats tickling will shout, “C'est a rsire.” For their reward Messrs. Olney and Wilson ;must take the satisfaction of being the cause of this irides- cent, opalescent, pungent, penetrating and irresistible sally. Let the resources of the confectioner be drawn upon at once to reduce it to sugar. The season of the fatted calf is on. Children cry for ’em, and no re- turned Gold Democrat should be forgotten. AMERICAN GENEROSITY, HATEVER be the faults of the American people, they have none of those defects which are made manifest by a lack of sympathy with | others in distress, or by niggardliness in responding | to any appeal for help. The appalling disaster that has befallen Texas has afforded an opportunity for displaying the magnificent liberality of our people in every part of the country, and in no single section has the opportunity been allowed to pass unheeded. A notable illustration of the large way in which the characteristic generosity of the American type of human nature works is to be found in the action taken by many of the great manufacturing or mer- cantile firms having extensive business relations with the merchants of Galveston. Recognizing that in the wreck of their homes and the ruin of their business hardly any considerable number of Galveston busi- ness men would be able to meet their obligations, the New York Commercial suggested a general extension of credit to all the firms of the stricken city. The sug- gestion was at once adopted, not in New York only, but in other cities, and from the reports that come to us it appears that ample time will be given for Gal- veston to get upon her feet and resume business be- oon as they abandoned | fore there will be any call upon her for payment of .WWW"W money due. In all this splendid showing it is gratifying that San Francisco stands among the foremost cities and Cali- fornia among the most generous States in responding to the call for help. Our people recognize that their abundant prosperity should render them helpful to all who are in distress, and accordingly the contributions thus far made compare well with those of any other community in the United States. There is one feature of the calamity that must not be overlooked. The early reports from the disaster, instead of being exaggerations, are now known to have fallen far short of the full extent of the loss. Not Galveston only but all the Texan coast has suf- fered. The latest estimate gives the total number of deaths at about 12,000, and the value of property de- stroyed is calculated to exceed $20000000. It is clearly no time to let up in the relief work. Mak: your contributions liberally and promptly. Californ has not yet done all in this dread emergency she should do. /\/\ in denunciation of the Government if he were disfranchised by law is seemingly willing to disfranchise himself through mere indifference to the value of that privilege for which he would be willing to fight if he were denied it. The day for the closing of registration is near at hand, and still a considerable percentage of those who are legally entitled to vote have neglected to place their names upon the roll of voters. It has been suggested that many citizens are un- aware of the fact that all voters must be registered this year, that prior registration counts for nothing 1f such be the case it*will be worth while to repeat again what all should bear in mind, that all registra- tions prior to January 1, 1900, have been canceled. The law requires every citizen to register if he desire to vote at the coming election. There is no exception to the rule.. If you have not registered since January 1 you must do so before September 26 or forfeit your right to vote. It is difficult to understand why any one should be indifferent to the issues of the State and of the nation that are involved in this contest. Upon the one side is a party upholding the existing order of prosperit and upon the other is a powerful coalition of the B UNREGISTERED C]?IZENS. ANY a man who would be loud and vehement | crats, combined to assail the foundations upon which that prosperity rests. The fiscal system of protection, which sustains our industries, and the financial sys- tem, which gives stability to our currency, are alike | subject to attack. How can any intelligent man b2 indifferent to such issues? 3 There are many thousands of voters yet to be reg- istered, and but a few days remain in which registra- tion can be effected. There is sure to be a great rush on the closing days, and some who wait for the last day. may not be able to register at all. » The thing is up to you. Have you registered? If you have not you would better make good use of to-day. FEg AS HCORNELOWER SEES ESPITE the efforts of the Kansas City conven- | D tion and Mr. Bryan to make the fantastic concept of “imperialism” the paramount issue of the campaign, the sound common sense of ths | people is not to be deceived. Even among the stal- wart Democrats who leit their party in 1806 because of the Chicago platiorm, and who would be glad of an opportunity to return to it, there are many who refuse to be deluded by the new issue. Among these men is William B. Hornblower, whom Cleve- land once nominated for the Supreme Court of the United States, and who is one of the most eminent Democrats of New York. He has heard all that can be said about imperialism, has read all that Schurz and Cockran have to say of the “deadness” of free coinage, but he remains convinced that Bryanism is | as menacing to the country to-day as it was four years ago. In a letter just made public he announces a deter- mination to vote for McKinley and Roosevelt, and says: “The same reasons which corhpelled me to op- pose Bryan in 1806 compel me to oppose him in the present campaign. All heresies, financial and Popu- listic, which were embodied in the un-Democratic platform of 1896 are readopted, without an attempt at modification, by the Kansas City platform. The 16 to 1 plank is expressly reaffirmed and redeclared, and this at the instance of Bryan himself. I cannot sup- port a candidate who still adheres to a proposition which, to my mind, is a monstrosity, and which, if carried into effect, would, in my judgment, produce untold disaster to all classes of the community and bring dishonor and humiliation to the nation.” The view taken by Mr. Hornblower is that of a majority of the intelligent people of the United States. The discontented elements of the country support Bryan to-day solely because they are convinced he represents all that the Chicago platform declared. He has himself given them every reason for such a conviction. He has accepted the nomination of the and pledged himself to their platforms. He has bee: as vehement in denouncing the courts and govern- ment by injunction as ever he was. His denunciation of imperialism is mixed with repeated indorsements of all the worse features of the campaign of 1806. He is, in fact, as dangerous now as ever, and his election would, as Mr. Hornblower says, "bring dishonor and humiliation to the nation.” Roosevelt is rapidly running himself into a position where he may need discipline. He is unwilling to believe that Bryan was correctly reported because his speech reads like arrant nonsense. Ir was gener- ally believed that Roosevelt knew Bryan. % Managers of the national Democracy feel aggrieved that men of money in the party are not coming for- ward with the cash. The mourners should remember that Bryanites do not believe in raising the wind that way. Their leader still has his lungs. It is safe to say that in at least one household of San Francisco Cupid will hereafter be barred from the kitchen. As an agent for ptomaine poisoning the little fellow appears to have been something more than could have been desired. : Residents of Novato appear to be in need of a guardian. They refuse to bring Chinese malefactors to trial because they won’t believe a Chinese under oath. We are to have another disgraceful exhibition of what practical politics should not be. The Demo- crats will hold another primary “election” on Friday. shnrkéy, it is said, threatens to open a ‘saloon and retire.

H. Devlin Gives His Reasons in a Statement to The Call. DITOR San Francisco Call: 1 be- lieve that a nation which is succees- ful In war should compel the one which Is defeated to bear the ex- pense Incurred in the warfare and the detriment suffered to property inter- ¢, and that, therefore, both as a mat- ter of precedent and as inherent right, our Government was justified by treaty witk Spain in acquiring the Philippines, anG further that the fact that some of the native tribes in some of the islands in rebellion against Spanish author- y 6t the time, even assuming that ihe Government of Spain had been oppres- sive, did not give to them the right to continue the warfare or wage new war- fare against the United States, as the latter had never been guilty of oppression toward them. The Philippines are now In rebellion againsy the authority of the United States, and, for my part, I belleve that this rebellion should be crushed, and that, until the authority of our Govern- ment is recognized, no negotiations to- ward peace should be had. By acquiring the Philippines we have undertaken new responsibilities and are liable to the gov- ernments of the world for the proper preservation of property rights and main- tenance of good government. In my judg- ment, this can be brought about at the present time only by the authority of our Government being recognized and re- spected, Whether or not it was the wisest thing from a business standpoint to pay the Spanish Government $20,000,000 bonus for the transfer of the Philippines is no con- cern of the present. The question now is: Shall we put down a rebellion against our authority rightfully acquired and recog- nized by all the world, or play the cow- ard, send our troops home, leave the property interests of our citizens and those of foreigners which we are obli- gated to protect by virtue of assuming sovereignty, to be looted and destroyed by a rebellious force, the leaders of which, instead of being inspired in the cause of liberty against tyranny and oppression, are inflamed and crazed with a lust for power and dominion? 1 favor the continvance of the war until W the authority of the United States Is rec- | ognized from one end of the Philippine Islands to the other, until every rebel has laid down his arms and until the islands are thus completely pacified, no negotia- tions of any kind should be had with the Filipinos and no promises held out to them. The ery of imperiaiism does not influence me in the least. It is used to prejudice the unthinking voter and blind the judgment of those good but mis- guided citizens who fail to observe the disiinction between the acquisition of ter- ritory as the result of war and the estab- lishment of colonies as a matter of foreign policy. The American people will never favor imperialism as rightfully under- stocd, but at the same time they will never consent to the abandonment of ter- | ritory rignhttully acquired by treaty regu- lation with the sovereign owner.- No Government can be rightfully accused of imperialism in putting downm rebellion or insurrection in territory rightfully ac- NEY WHO LEFT THE BRY- ANITE RANKS. * quired from the sovereign owner as one of the fruits of war. In my humble judgment, Presidential elections come too often, as we no sooner establish a policy which brings or main- tains prosperity, than those out of office seek to overthrow it and oftentimes seize upon false issues and employ insincere argument for the purpose of prejudicing the voter. Our duty is to our country first and to our party second. No change in the policy of the Government should be made unless it is apparent that some | abuse is to be corrected or som_ material advantage to be gained. It is the duty of every American citizen, whether he be a Republican or a Democrat, to sustain the President whenever he is enforcing our rights given by a treaty solemnly ratified by our Senate. 'The President in his administration should noteattempt to feel the popular pulse or cater to the whims and caprices of theoretical states- | men, but administer governmental affairs from a standpoint of constitutional right, preserving property interests and dis- charging our obligations to other govern- ments as imposed upon-us by the law of nations when we assumed the sovereignty over the Philippine Islands. I cannot see how the election of Mr. Bryan to the Presidency wiil bring any more prosperity to this nation, and, as his election would be a repudiation of Mc- Kinley's Philippine policy, which I favor, and of the treaty with Spain, the ratifica- tion of which Mr. Bryan favored, I there- fore must withdraw my adherence to the | Democratic party and cast my allegiance, for the present campalgn at least, with the Republican.

BRYAN’S DESIGNS ON THE SUPREME COURT it Attention has been called to the possi- bility that it may fall to the lot of the | next President to effect a complete reor- ganization of the Supreme Court of the United States during the four years be- ginning March 4, 1901. The statement has also been made that seven of the nine Judges now constituting the court may, ! if they choose, leave the Bench within the next four years. The following table effectively disposes of the latter assump- tion, unless it is made on the unnkery supposition that Justices Brewer, Brown and White may resign before they are entitled to retire on full pay: COMPOSITION OF THE COURT.
