McKinlev's wave of prosperity bas struck the New England cotton wills, and as a result they are working on what the Franklin Times terms rag time. The Republicans will find it an up-hill job trying to convince hungry men that their stomachs are full. If any Republican tells you that the Trust is a good thing, ask him why the Republican platform denounces the Trusts. If the Republican ays that the Trust Is a bad thing, ask him why a Republican administration allowed more Trusts to be organized than were ever organised in all the previous history of tie country.-William Jennings Bryan, in a speech at Laporte, Ind., Sept. 1. In the course of an address in Chicago Monday .Mr. Bryan commented upon the administration'ecoursein the Philippines ., which permits one class to rule another, whereupon one of his auditors, Inter rupting him, usked: "How about the situation in North Carolina?" Mr. Bryan instantly replied: "Let the race question which has brought us so much trouble be a warning to you not to bring another race question into this country; and we do not have to go to North Carolina either, for we have had it right here in Illinois and in Ohio." John Sherman, former secretary of state in President McKinley's cabinet, in a recent interview said: "The wealth we ara taking out of our own country now to fling after those Philippine islands is fabulous. We have taken away the miners and agriculturists to subdue the Filipino natives. Depend upon it, the Other nations do not- envy us, but think us foolish. "I see not the sliirhtest sense in our long excursion to the Philippine islands, 12,000 miles away. There we have no acquaintances or affinities, or anything which gives promise of a happy solution of a most foolish undertaking, The na tives show that they do not want us by the courage with which they fight us, fear that perseverance in this imperial policy will ruin the Republican party." - . The world power which the imperialist invites us to become would be a power based on conquest and violence, a survi val of barbarism, a world power consis tent with the darkness and ignorance ol the tenth century, ine voria power ; which we are is a light of civilisation and progress, gilding with splendor the dawn of the twentieth century. What patriot would prefer for his country an eminence of force, of violence, or barbarism, to an ominence of peace, of progress and of civilization. : . .. .. .. . This novel, un-American policy of ini perialism should be opposed, because the grounds on which its advocates support it are puerile, inconsistent and dishonest; because it involves the existence of a standing army to menace liberty and to oppress labor by diminishing wages; be cause it is cowardly to invade the rights - of the weak while respecting those of the strong; because it would divorce the American flag and the American consti tution by sending the one where the other cannot go; because it is a policy of . inconceivable tolly from a material point of view, and a policy of unspeakable infamy from a moral point of view.

For ly J. E. Hood, drufirt. i-ranclsco. Giving a few quiet directions and ei termg a cab, sue was whirled away from the bustling throng and driren to a hotel. Later the register contained an unassuming ".Miss Waller, Chica go." iter room was No. ll. Calling a private messenger, she dMpatehed a message to a firm of lawyers, and that evening, promptly at 8 o'clock, a pros perous looking, well dressed gentleman entered the hotel, glanced at the regis ter, and, Ignoring the clerk's question. "Do you want anything?" passed by the waiting elevator and walked un the stairs. That was Tuesday erenlng. On Wednesday morning Miss Waller might hare been seen boarding a Market street car bound for the ferry, where she purchased a train ticket and cross ed to the mole. She returned late on Friday erenlng, and Saturday morning the same messenger took a sealed let ter to the same lawyers, but this time there was no erenlng caller. Saturday erenlng she left town again for a few days, and these trips were continued until one day last week, when, by the merest chance, the object of her re peated outings was dlscorered. On this occasion she was the possessor of a ticket to a city near the Missouri river, and she smilingly confessed that she was bidding goodby. to San Francisco for some time to come. As an illustration of the care which she must exercise in order to enhance her value to the big railway corpora tions in this country It is only neces sary to state that In the ten years which she has devoted to the business of spotter, or, as she would probably prefer to have It called, private de tective, she has doubtless made fewer friends than any one else in the coun try. And while she. will not allow any one to get thoroughly acquainted with her, she does not make enemies. That would be ruinous. It is an unwritten law of the rail roads that every employee is open to suspicion until ,he has been proved guilty, and the people who take upon themselves the task of separating the two classes those who are found gull ty and those who arc as yet merely un fler suspicion arc objects of the great- est contempt with the army of tollers who seek a living on the trains. To offset this unpopularity, however, they have the inducement of large flnancia returns. There is no ironbound rule governing the amount of money which they receive, but the more proficient of the class probably make from $2,500 to $3,000 a year. At times a railroad will have an Im portant case on Its hand, and the serv Ices of a first class spotter will be In valuable to the company, and on such occasions, If successful, the financial returns Increase wonderfully, There Is a much greater demand for this class of detectives in the east than there is here, and several reasons are given for this condition of affairs. In the first place, traffic being heavier, there are more trains run there, and more men are employed oy the com panies. Besides, that section is more thickly populated, and way trains are in many instances run hourly. If not oftener, but probably the truest cause for - the Increased dishonesty among railway conductors in the east is the low rate of salary which they receive. There Is a well defined belief among eastern men who trarel extcnslrely that any man who has reached that de gree of prosperity where he can afford to wear creased trousers Is hopelessly extravagant if he pay more than one- third fare after crossing the Mississip pi river. I once heard a popular actor giving his reasons for this assertion la resort on the Atlantic coast, and. after enlightening his audience with a dissertation on the almost otter worth- essness of money In the west, so far as railroad traveling was concerned, he continued: . Take any train on any road west cf Kansas City, St Louis, Chicago or St. Paul, and the rest Is easy. Assume an air of Indifference and smoke a cigar. If your conductor be seedy looking, haTe a beard, an old uniform with threadbare elbows and a hopeless ex pression on his face, pay yor fare, lie is an benrst man.
