Patterson displayed a Bryan ' picture. . ; A visit to Yale unlvertity was an entirely different affair from the visit of lS'M. There Is now at Yale a very large Bryan club and 150 of the stu dents followed Bryan back to New York city, where another ovation was iiw-n him that exceeded In numbers i-ti'l enthusiasm the one recorded in thiP column two weeks ago. Even tiurh papers as the New York Herald say that it surpassed anything of the kind that ever occurred on this conti nent There was another meeting In Madison Square and Bryan addressed immeni-e crowds at five other places durirje the evening. Although th re-p-jhlicaxis had expended immense sums In th-Ir parade which came off after Bryan's rir?t visit, it is agreed that this last f-ffort of the citizens of New vrrk to cxpe5 their confidence in tryan -.-.-d anything that ever be fore iK'currid :n that or any other city.

Ot f Monday Mr. Bryan made thirty specn-s. nreafcing nis own and all ather r-ct".-s. Mr. Roosevelt has also teen cam pa:j:iini' iu New York to try to stem tue if that rcr-nud t be fowing Bry snwtrd On Momlay while Bryan raade thiity speeches, R-'.jjvelt mad-? tbre- and all of his niectings were n.crf or less disorderly. At Elmlra there was a most disgraceful scene.. Itoosvc-lt and the men in his carriage wtre rtsttcn-eeged. Those, wbo had jn with him during his western tour faid that it was a much worse affair than occurred at Ylctor. Colo. Much of this disorder is Roosevelt's own fault. He hu ben in the habit of denounc irg hi; opponents as "hoodlunii," "hobos." "dishonest." "cowards" and "anarchist." A public speaker using si'ch epithets must expect disorder. The following is one of Mr. Roosevelt's anis'ver? to a a-an who asked a re pctful question: "You are a hobo. You are all wind, like the other Bryanites. Now go back to your fellow hoboes." Another man asked: "How about the canal thieves?" and Mr. Roose velt replied: "You are a windbag. You are all mouth. That's what you are. Now go back to your kennel. I gue.53 you've lfarned not to monkey with the buzi saw." All writers, ail men wbo have ex-prehM-d an opinion of the effect of Bry an's appearance in New York and Brooklyn seem lost for words to ex press their astonishment. One of them after declaring that Blaine's fol lowing in his most popular days wa a a beanstalk to a bay tree, describes the condition of the New York repub lican dailies as follows: "The Sun was darkened. The Press trembled, and the Post almost dropped dead.

They had - live ele phants and. stuffed elephants, donkeys and floats and everything that was thought would attract a crowd. The parade when formed was found to contain a little over half the number they .were able to march ,in : 1896. The banks, the board of trade and many of the big business" houses closed up, but it .was acknowledged by the re publicans themselves, that it came far short of, expectations. There were some very remarkable things in that parade things that were never seen in a, republican parade before. Many of the factories ordered tbelr men to march in the; parade. They marched, but they wore Bryan buttons. Hundreds of these were seen and counted by the lynx-eyed report ers. - One , vehicle drove Into the par ade carrying a- big Bryan picture and marched the whole .'route, through. Everywhere N It was greeted with storms of applause, by the spectators While the remainder of the parade marched by with scarcely a cheery, to greet them. . . At . night, there .was a. ral ly of Bryan men jo appeared on the streets without any organization. State street was packed -with them from building to building:,. street: and- pave ments, so that it was. impossible to move. : Scores of orators from stands alj along the whole way addressed the eager listeners. In enthusiasm and numbers this spontaneous uprising far exceeded the, long planned and costly republican parade. . The foreign news of the week has I also been intensely interesting. In i South Africa, the Boers have been car ! rying on the war with all the vigor of (Ui uiri uujfe. vjtu trial ucci uets gained several decided victories and killed and captured quite a number of the' English during the week. In one battle the English report that they got the best of it, killed several Boers and captured a gun. The "war is over" In South Africa just like it is in the Philippines. The London imperial volunteers re turned this week and all London went on a drunken debauch such as the world never saw before. Scores of people were killed and wounded a larger number in fact than the body of troops lost in the whole South Af rican campaign, whose return was be ing celebrated. The last drunken de bauch that London went into over." the celebration of the killing and captur ing of Transvaal: Christians, caused the world to look in horror, but this seems to have been ten times worse. No Mohammedan conqueror ever cele brated a victory over Christians with more debauchery or more lives than did Joe Chamberlain his victory oveir thV Christians of thf two- little r pablips. . . .' There' are no longer any regular press correspondents in the Phllip pines.r The press censorship has been so severe that they . found their occupa tion gone and have all left. The only news that --we' now get. is the official reports of the c6mmanding preneral. These reports have been of the most astonishing character during the week. We gather from them that there has been a general uprising among the Philippine people ail xver the islands. Several fierce battles have been fought. In one the Filipinos were victorious and our troops had to retreat. There has been " a long list of killed and wounded sent in and the war seems to be raging (notwithstanding that it was all over months ago) with more fury than ever. Thii following Is one of General Mac Arthur's reports. The rest are like unto it: ' Manila. Oct. 28. While scouting near Looc a detachment of the Twen tieth and Twenty-eighth regiments un der Captain Beigler were attacked by 400 insurgents armed with rifles under the command of a wbite man whose nationality is not known to the Am ericans. The insurgents for the most part were intrenched. After an heroic fight Captain Boigler drove off the enemy.' killing more than seventy-five. The fight lasted for over two hours. Captain Beigler and three privates were tslightly wounded and two of the Americans were killed. An engagement took place October 24 between detachments of the Third cavalry and the Thirty-third volunteer infantry, numbering sixty, and a' force of Insurgents, including riflemen and 1.000 boJomen. The fighting was des perate. Finally the Americans were compelled to retire to Narvican. Lieutenant George L. Febiger and four privates were killed, nine wound ed and four are missing. Twenty-nine horses are missing. A number . of team'sters' were 'captured by the Insur gents, but were subsequently released. The enemy's loss is estimated at 150. A civilian launch, towing a . barge loaded' with merchandise near Aryat was attacked by a force of 150 Insur gents under David Fagin. a deserter from the Twenty-fourth infantry. The American troops on hearing the firing turned . out in force before the boat could be looted and captured. Fagin, who holds the rank of gen eral among the insurgents, has sworn special enmity against his former com panions. Of the twenty men he .cap tured a month ago seven have re turned, otte was killed In a fight, his body being horribly-mutilated. Fagin send3 messages to his former com rades threatening them with violence if they become his prisoners. It was Fagin's men who; captured Lieutenant Frederick W. Alstaetter, who is. still a prisoner. . . . . . ... , , . t . . . General Hall's expedition, with a force of nearly 800 men, through the mountains to Bingangon, province of Infanta, in pursuit of the insurgent General Cailles. although ,it- discov ered no trace of the enemy encoun tered great hardships on the march. Twenty Chinese porters died and for iy men were sent into the hospital. Af ter stationing a .garrison of 250 men in Binangonan and visiting Polalillo island, off the coast of infanta pro vince. General Hale and the 'rest .of his forces . embarked there - on the transport Garronse. - Reports from General Young's dis trict ' show a daily; increase of in surgents there, owing to the fact that recruits ire. going .thither, rrom the towns. While a detail of the Thirty-third volunteer infantry was returning from Bangued on rafts It was fired upon by insurgents. Sergeant Berdstaller be ing killed and two privates wounded. The dry season has just begun and all those acquainted with the situation look for another campaign lasting to the end of the" dry season, which is about the first of April. During that time many hundred .more American boys "will be killed and wounded and die of disease. That the Filipinos will continue to fight and get up rebellions as long as their independence is de nied them, no one who has any knowl edge of their character will pretend to deny. They have been at it for the last hundred years, and they will not stop it just to oblige Mr., McKinley. Remember this: If McKinley is re elected, the "war will be over" in the Philippines for the next fifty years, just like it has been for the last two years. ; No one has the hardihood not even Otis to deny that there is "war over- there" now. " Affairs in China still continue in-a chaotic state. A sort of semblance of opening negotiations fhas been an nounced. It has been agreed by the powers to demand an indemnity of $IO,000,OQO.:v Li Hung Chang agrees that China is liable to pay an indem nity,;but..is very doubtful if an agree ment can be come to by the powers as to how j that indemnity, whatever it may jtje in the end, shall be collected. The present plan is to double the Chi nese tariffs and place the collection in the -hands of foreigners. If the Mc Kinley doctrine is true, that will make the foreigners, Instead of the Chinese pay the indemnity for "the foreigner pays the tax" , you know. . The best that can be made out. of the mass of stuff that has been printed is that there is a general uproar ajl over Chi na and the empire is almost without a government.

WHAT REPUBLICANS DID laatitutad wr, Tha Kng-lish Financial System, ItobbetftbVVitata f Editor TndependeBtf?'tThe election is close at"hand and since the reform forces have started in dlscuscing arid debating he political'5 Issues now be fore the "country, thS people's cause j gaining 'ground and there seems " to be quite a, 'stampede tdwards Mr. Bry an and Poynter. You cannot draw a Hanna republican into a debate with a four-ox v team. "Why? Because he has no case and because he got some , experience in '06. The only exception this year is the debate between Messrs. Rose water and Hitchcock at Omaha, Lincoln and Fremont. While Mr. Rose water, is one of the shrewdest and best posted. politicians. and one of the ablest debaters in this country, he got so badly knocked out at Lincoln on the 18th inst. by his opponent, Mr. Hitchcock, that it made him tremble all over and he could hardly stand on his feet. Why are these men always knocked out whenever they do ac cept a challenge? Because they al ways defend the tyrant's cause against the people with whom they do busi ness. Tyrants' cause it must beMf ! threats, intimidation, insults ignor ance, ballot box stuffing, voting R. R. i gangs in two or three different states, bribing judges and clerks of election, j R. R. bosses filling out ballots for the ! employes, distributing of free passes and mile books, buying every ignorant and doubtful voter, buying the influ ence of. every saloonkeeper in the land who can be bought, hiring every politician that for a consideration is ever ready to sell his neighbor, coun try, principle and all, and having on its side the influence of every R. R. corporation, national banfeer. tnist, king, emperor and millions of money, and with all these means the Hanna party is trying, to win. The exception clause on the green back, -the national bank act, the public credit strengthening act. refunding act, demonetization of silver, gold stand ard,: and, the recent currency law, are all, excepting one, the laws enacted by the republicans, and their Lombard Wall street allies since Lincoln was assassinated to draw this ration into a gigantic. debt which the nation nev er could pay, and on that perpetual debt lar the foundation for the na tional r banks and give - them money free of charge to bank with and the full control over the currency of the country' and charge the producing classes interest twice on every- dollar they Use. Over thirty years the Am erican people have been paying off.the national debt and have paid billions In interest and principal and the debt is now larger than ever. As the nation has been paying off the debt, England with her Wall street allies has been enlarging. the dollar. There is your good sound currency. We contracted with the bondholder at 16 to 1, while he long ago repudiated that and tries to make it about 96 to 1. That is the way little England and Its American allies became the owners of our lands, breweries, mines, street cars and ev erything of importance, and that is the way ; the United States became plastered over with, mortgages and bonds. That is the way Lord Scully got control of our soil and the Ameri can farmers became tenants, and the workmen slaves, who no more own their cottages. That is the way In connection with out tariff laws, the trusta got control of every article of commerce. ; By force of arms England could new er subdue us. but by going Into part nership with her Wall street allies and legislating forces, she fully conquered us Cnd accomplished what her whole great navy and millions of armed men could never have accomplished. Lord Chatham once said: "Show me the laws of the country and I will tell you of the prosperity of the peo ple." - England completed and forced upon us her imperial financial system and now she is. using our president as a jumping-jack. and goes into alliance with him to get him to complete that imperialism by creating great armies and conquering and annexing distant colonies, ruling them by force, submit ting to slavery, polygamy an4 all kinds of harems disregarding the constitu tion, and assisting England to shape her policy in the far east, and prevent our old allies. Russia and France, from jumping on her back while she is doing it and while she is subduing tha African republics. r That is Hanna republicanism and enough to make Lincoln and Washington turn in their graves. In our state affairs the republicans were no better. -Dorgan, Stout, Mosher; Moore. Bartley and their" colleagues at the head of all state offices and. in stitutions are yet fresh in our minds. Every state office and state institu tion has been looted. Building mater ial and labor, at the different state in stitutions was charged. to the state. a number of times its actual price. School lands were parcelled out to re publican politicians and for years no rentals were paid Some tracts were secured for-a. small fraction-of the. actual value. School monies were not invested, according to law. for the ben efit of -the school children.. Other state funds were not used to .pay off state warrants and to stop paying in terest, but were used in speculation "and then' Bartley stole the v whole thing,, over half a million dollars; at one lick. All our state institutions un der reform management are run econ omically. At good deal less cost the inmates are better clothed and fed. Some of -our state offices that under republican rule, besides the fees of the office' required few thousands of dol lars to keep them running are now self-supporting, and besides; turn few thousands of dollars into the state treasury every year. Such is the fact with the secretary of state and state oil inspector. Our present governor is "a gentleman of clean reputation and ability, who has made an excellent governor, such as the common people and the conservative business class longed for the last twenty-five years, and although greatly misrepresented by a few disgruntled politicians and the opposition, he and the whole ticket Is going to be elected by quite a hand some majority, in spite of the fact that Mr. Dietrich is the choice of the B. & M. corporation, but whom. his own home, town, the city, of Hastings, has repudiated, as not a fit man for gov ernor." VINC J. STEDRY. Major-John 'H.. Parker, 39th infan try, U, S.v volunteers, who is now at ,Tanau.aj) prpvipce, Luion, l.n. an 'ar ticle in the" September Revie of He views 'a"mongr other things pays: - Tn other- words the intention of the Unit ed States with reference to the future government of the islands should be clearly and decisively- expressed by the supreme law making power." "The Fili pinos would then" either in joyful an ticipation or in quiet resignation to the inevitable, settle down to adjust them selves to new conditions." From this we" see that the present administration is alone responsible for the trouble and blood shed in those. isl ands. If President McKinley told those people that they would be treat ed the same as the Cubans the trou ble would all have been averted. But of coxirse that would have deprived the Dorringtons, Mapes, Wilsons, Culver, Mulford and other men wbo were un able to make an honest living at home, men who would not pay their honest bills at home, from drawing big sal aries, in those islands. For what pur pose. . To civilize and Christianize. God pity the poor Filipinos if all the appointments to the if lands are like the majority of those from Nebraska. THE COURSE OF EMPIRE Patriots at WaVhlnsrton Who Hava Watch. d, Give al.ast Warning to Tha American People. To American Voters Irrespective of Past Party Affiliation: , In the opinion of the anti-imperialist league of Washington, D. C, the most momentous political event of Ameri can history is at hand. The sixth of .November next will mark the perpet uation. of a republic in-its glorious ca reer, or the abrogation of the Declara tion of Independence, of the constitu tion and of the proclamation abolish ing slaver j'. Whoever votes for Mc Kinley and Roosevelt no matter what may be his intention, will as a matter of fact register his opinion that gov ernments do not derive their just pow ers from the consent of the governed; that-peonies may be ruled without a constitution and that slavery may ex ist under the jurisdiction of the Unit ed States. Are there many Americans prepared to abandon the glorious tra ditions of the republic for the debauch ing and degrading tenets of imperial ism? Are the descendants especially of the men of '76-'S3 and the descend ants and survivors of the men of '61 '65 so disposed? We think not. . . Located in. the national capital,-we have had unusual facilities for observ ing the course of empire pursued by the present administration, under the blandishments of European solicita tion and the pressure of domestic dic tation, and we warn our countrymen that the most dangerous combination possible to elect to thti two highest offi ces In the gift of the people have been selected. . William McKinley, a man of medio cre ability whose everr act has been marked by self-seeking regardless of principles, and Theodore Roosevelt, whose "strenuous" aggressiveness would be a constant menace. We ask our fellow r countrymen to pause be fore committing the destinies of our beloved country to such a combina tion; Mr. McKinley has transformed a war for liberation into a war "of sub jugation. Cuba Is under military rule, Porto Rico under a medieval satrapy, the Philippines ground by the iron heel of despotism, and an American army of occupation in China. These several acts have cost the United States a billion of dollars, many prec ious lives and worse than all. the loss of our national ideals.
