On this subject he continued: The.'Filipinos-knew the Declaration of Independence before they knew there was a man in this; country bearing my name. Instead of me being the cause, it was a higher power than a Democratic candidate that placed it in their hearts the love of liberty. I - tell you it was Abraham Lincoln who said it was God himself that placed in every human heart the love of liberty, and the Repub lican - piarty. says that we are going to give the Filipinos a right to participate in their government. We give them the right! It is not a man-given thing; it is a God-given thing. God himself joined together in every human being love of liberty; and what God has joined together let not the Republican party tear asunder." - ' Mr. Bryan -will arrive in Chicago early tomorrow. Later in the day he will go to the convention of the Democratic clubs at Indianapolis. He made six speeches today, against fifteen yesterday. n , MORRIS PARK RACES stock exchange toilay.

Special. -Today's Wilkesboro Chronicle defies the Republican candidate for Congress in this district to bring suit against it for libeL for charges made last week re garding Blackburn's official acts while United States Commissioner in Ashe county. The editor of the Chronicle says: . ."We have mailed him a copy of -the paper, but E. Spencer has not yet pro ceeded. Odr authority is Hon. R. B. Glenn, district attorney at the time, with whom affidavits charging the offense were filed, and E. -Spencer resigned be fore Judge Dick to prevent being tne.l. Mr. Blackburn has our , permission -to proceed at his pleasure." An Incredible Rnraor They had enough to do at home','! some one interjected, to . which Mr. Bryan responded: les, they were busy making enough to pay the tax." Mr. Bryan said the time had. come to take official steps to preventlstealing. The same kind of striped clotfiGs should be put upon the big thieves as upon the little ones, and if this were done he be lieved the trusts and private monopolies would soon be destroyed. Defining the different kinds of trusts, Mr. Bryan said that investigation would develop that "a good trust was a trust which ' gives liberally to the Republican campaign fund, while a bad trust is stingy. Speaking of putting business men in office, he said that the most of those who made this plea wanted to exclude the most important business men. They did not want the producers of wealth, but the traders in the products of those who create wealth. "Mr. Hanna nas told us." he said, "that there are no trusts. He now says there is no such question as that of im perialism. That settles it. of course. Indeed, I am beginning to think there is no question except as to whether, the Republican ticket shall be elected." Mr. Bryan referred to the Republican plea that Jefferson had favored expan sion. That, Mr. Bryan said, was true: Jefferson had favored expansion, but not imperialism. The territory that he had acquired had been converted into ten -States and its people had become citi zens. He said: "The Republican party is not giving us loads to 1 build into States, it is giving us only : people :to subjugate. The Philippines' are more densely populated than the United States, and instead of offering us a place for surplus population the result is apt to be the bringing of Oriental la bor into competition with our own la bor." from the secrecy -"main tained as to its object that there would be siime. important developments. At its conclusion, however, Mr. Mitchell said that there had only been a discussion of the general situation and a compari son of notes. From all reports received it was shown that out of 142,000 mine workers in the anthracite district, there were only .",lUO men at work, and it was V. i ; ti n -fon.- rl i r these won Id I rrr-v: rf o a- i. . also join the strikers and every colliery here iu the sensational Canton story of f?ns celebrate the birthday of Alexander . i!.1 J 1 J I" I Tift m 1 1f on ithA ! iH -hj"v hnliDVO i hO I Virl In the entire anmracue nem wuuiu oe a .j t0 tui the ,president. !

Mr. Bryan said: "Republicans, show - me a document ever nenned bv - a modern Republican which will compare with the Declaration of Independence. Show me a speecn made by a Republican today that has the influence of the .Declaration -of In dependence. The Declaration of Inde pendence has been read all over the world.

Senator elect Dolliver of Iowa and Charles H. Dietrich, Republican candidate for gov ernor of Nebraska, joined the vice-presidential candidate,! and all three addressed a large crowd in the public square. Governor Roosevelt said in the course of his remarks: "I want td appeal to you on the ground of your material well-being to continue the conditions -under which we have achieved such prosperity during the past four years. I want no better campaign document .than' to, quote the prophecies of Mr. Bryan; four years ago and com nare them with how the events have come out since. .Four years ago you were told again and again tnat unless you had free silver everything would go wrong. Then go back a little further. Eiirht vears ago it was free trade and lower Drices for your products.

Davis and Holland Whitaker. were continued today, until February. Washington, Oct. 3. Comptroller Tracewell, of the Treasury Department, has just issued an important opinion ,on the character of the United States courts in Porto ' Rico. He holds incidentally, that the Constitution of the United States did not extend to Porto through the operation of the treaty with Spain, and he declares that . the United States have become the owners of the island, although neither the island nor. the peo ple, by the act of cession, became an integral part of the United States. The decision relates directly to the courts of the United States in Porto Rico. In his opinion Mr. Traceweii says in part: ine insular government for Porto Rico has made up a budget purporting to provide funds for all the necessary operating expenses oi the United States District Court for Porto Rico. Tho insular authorities are also of the opin ion that the act of Congress temporarily to provide revenues and a civil govern ment for Porto Rico imposes upon such government the duty of providing sup port for the operating expenses of said court, and carries with -it the corres ponding right to require its officers to , report to and account for all their re ceipts and expenditures to such island -government. - "The determination of the questions ' involved requires the consideration of the status of the District Court of Porto Rico. Is it a -local court of Porto Rico, , or a United States court located in Porto Rico?' ' ' "Porto Rico was acquired as the re-, suit of the settlement of our late war with the kingdom of Spain and it -was , acquired by thet United States bjr virtue of the provisions of the treaty of peace between this government and the king dom of Spain: ! It is quite evident from-,' a reading of the entire treaty that there was no intent on the part of the treaty making powers to. extend by that iu trum'ent either the Constitution . of - the United States , or its statute laws, over , this ceded territory'.. "It (the treaty) became the supreme -law of such acquired territory. With the . conclusion of the treaty Congress had authority to enact for the rovernf ment-of this acquired territory ail such laws ,as it deemed suitable and neces sary to the capacities and wants of its people. The United States, by the act ofv cession, became the owner of the is land, but such island nor its people did not by: the mere act of -cession become an integral pait of the United States. "The act providing for a civil govern- ' ment for- Porto Rico extends the statute , laws of the - United States "not locally inapplicable,:) except as in the act other wise provided, over the "island of Port , Rico. The statute laws of the United T States relative to the district courts of the United States are not, so far as I am advised, inapplicable to a United States Court in Porto Rico, unless . made inapplicable by said Porto Rican cLCl A '" : The . act establishes 'this court as a part of , the Federal syfetem of district courts, and would-seem to make it ap propriate, indeed, necessary to refer to the general laws of the United States ' governing such courts and their officers, in. order to ascertain the rules and limi tations of their procedure. The act in question differentiates this court from other United States district courts, either in the States or Territories in jthat the'salaries of United States officers. In cluding that of deputy marshals, shall be paid out of the Porto Rican treas ury: also that the expenses of. all these officers, whatever they ma mean, shall also be paid out of the Porto- Rican ; ' treasury. " - ' . - ". 'The question left f or.-determination, s is, are the ordinary operating expenses of this court ineludedia the expenses of the officers' of judge, marshal or clerk, or their assistants or deputies? The r judge is one of the officers of this court; . as likewise are the clerk and marshals; and the law provides that' the expenses of their offices shall be borne by the treasury of Porto lUco. The court itself is not an office. It is not the judge, the clerk, or the marshal. It is the aggre gate of alb these officers and their help and assistants. It is an organized body composed of all those offices and their officers "T c ' ' ' ' ' "It is 'reasonable certain that under the terms of the Porto Rican act but one class of deputy United States mar shals is provided ;to be appointed by this court, namely, a cla,ss of deputies to be paid a salary, out of the treasury of Porto Rico. a , ., " . , . "I" am of the5 opinion and decide that all operating expenses of this court t- tn a :finfs. costs and fees charged -, and collected by the marshal should b r.o! intiv tho treasurr of the Unite l , States; that the marshal should report to the accounting officers of. the United States as required by law, and account to the accounting oeers ot tne uoueu SratPa fnr all his receipts and expendi tures relative to-the operating expense '.. f this court; that tne aepury marsjiaia fc.n aid their compensation from the treasury of Porto Rico,1 and that the nortmimt nf Justice is -reunired - to f nrnish Marshal Wilson with all neces sary blanks for his office.
