AFRAID OF THE JAPS.

Whitney, ex-postmaster general 'of
tho Hawaiian islands, who has just
arrived from Honolulu, reports a
ttrong revival of the annexation feel
ing on the islands and says that it is
greatly intensified through the belief
that should Hawaii be annexed to tha
United States tho threatened
Japanese trouble would be entirely
wiped out by tho abrogation of
all existing treaties. By what is
known as the Gibson treaty, entered
into with Japan about thirteen years
ago, tho Japane may pour into tho
islands in unlimited numbors. They
now number 25,000 and are coming at
the alarming rate of 3,000 a year. Ha
thinks it is only a question of a few
years when tho Japanese will out
number tho nntlres and naturalized
population, and in that caso would
cause serious trouble. They aro
already demanding the right of fran
chise, which, by treaty, is conferred
upon them as soon as they can read
and write the Enellsh language.

MAKES BRIEF SPEECHES.
Bears Cheers for Me Kittle? Again. De
nounce tha Anarchlit Charge Tho
People Asked to Study the
Issnes and Cast Their Ilallots
Intelligently and for
Their Best Interests.
OnioAao, Sopt ?. Mr. Bryan loft at
6:46 o'clock this morning for Mllwau
keo, where ho was to mako two
speeches to-day. With him wero E.
a Wall, F. W. Von Cothausen, Julius
Sohuendel and P. J. Somcrs.
At Waukegan, whoro about 700 peo
ple demanded a speech from Mr. Bry
an, he was introduced by Mr. Wall as
tho next President of tho United
States and said: "Ladles and Gontle
men, I haven't time to mako a speech,
but I am very glad to see you, whether
you are drawn horo by what opposing
papers call ldlo curiosity or by inter
est in tho caueo being, presented in
this campaign. I am inclined to bo
lievo there is a great deal of interest
among tho pooplo on both sides of this
question. Somo believe the success of
the freo silver causo would bo detri
mental to tho country. They say they
aro earnestly opposed to us. Others
believe that thero can be no
general return of prosperity to
tho people of tho United States
until we stop tho appreciation of
money by giving tho" people mora
standard monoy. It is natural to bo
Hove that these peoplo feel interested.
It is not for ono man to say how an
other shall think, or act or vote, but
I believe wo have tho right to urge
upon you the importance of studying
tho question for ourselves nnd not
allowing anybody to think for you.
I do not bolievo there is any class of
people who can Bafoly bo intrusted to
tho right to think and act for another
class. Tho ballot is.glvon to tho clt
lzon in order that each citizen may
make his vote represent not what
somebody olso may think, but what
ho wants himself. I simply ask you,
during tho days which intorveno be
tween now and election day, to study
tho issues presented in this campaign,
and when you havo made up your
minds, havo tho courage to voto as
you please, nnd no one can question
vour right to do It I tnanlc you."
CHKBIIS AND COUNTKB CHEERS.
There was a loud cheer when Mr.
Bryan hud finished. Then somo ono
proposed "Threo cheers for McKin
ley," nnd about half tho crowd gnvo
them with a will. These woro fol
lowed by return cheeiing for tho
Democratic nomlnoc, which continued
until tho train pulled out
At Kenosha a thousand peoplo were
waiting. To them Mr. Bryan spoko
as follows: "Ladles and gentlemen:
It is natural in a country liko this,
where all tho power emanates from
the peoplo and whoro otllcers aro
chosen by the people, they should feel
an interest in public affairs and cam
paigns through which they pass.
When tho time comes when the great
question forces itself to tho front tho
interest is deepened, and wo havo
reached such a time. Often It is a mat
tor of comparatively little import
ance whether an issue before the peo
ple is settled this year or next, or a
few years in the future; but thero aro
times when great results depend on a
campaign, and we have reached such
a time. The money question has been
forced upon tho attention of the peo
plo by those who are not satis-
uled with tho gradual appre
ciation of the dollar, but have sought
to hasten its rUe. It certainly has
been too rapid for the welfare of
the people, but those who were tho
beneficiaries of the appreciation of tho
dollar were not satisfied and attempt
ed to hasten its rise by action still
more hostile to the white metal, They
have not been content to let tho peo-
Slo have an increased value of money,
ut have secured the repeal of the
Sherman law and put nothing in its
place and then begun to issue bonds
because hard times had mado it 'm
posslblo to invest money in enter
prises. Property has fallen and when
property Is falling people do not want
to invest In property. They want to
invest In money and then when money
was idle and they could not find profit
able investments in enterprises somo
wanted to draw a pood interest on
Buch investments. In my judgment
those who want a safe investment
and wanted government bonds issued
were to a larjro extent responsible for
the result. In our platform we have
declared against the issue of bonds in
times of peace. When you come to
consider theso questions, the Interests
of the people who must pay taxes
which pay tho bonds should be con
sidered rather than the people who
desire to profit by taxation wrung
from a people already overburdened.
Ve knew when we put the clausn In
our platform against the issue of
bonds wd would lose tho bondholders,
but we want the people who pay the
taxes."
THE AKATICIIIST CIIAI10E.
A conservative estimate of the
crowd at Racine to meet Mr. Bryan
would be 1,800 peoplo and it seemed
if each one was trying to outdo all
others in cheering. Captain W. B.
Vance of Racine introduced Mr.
Bryan, who said: Ladies and Gentle
men: When I see a large number of
people like this who seem to be inter
ested in the success of the campaign
upon which we have started, I some
times wonder whether it is possible
that you people are deserving of the
names that are applied to you. If am
an Anarchist, then all who want me
elected must -be Anarchists also. When
I look Into your faces I wonder
whether you are all enemies of the
government or enemies of those who
want to use the government as a pri
vate snnp. There is a great difference
between being against the trove rn
ment and against those who misuse
the government Andrew Jaokson said
thero wero no necessary evils in gov
ernment; that its evils grew out of
its abuse. Somo people do not
draw any lines between government
and tho abuse of government, and
whenever peoplo speak out ngalnsi
an abuso of government those who
are making money out of tha abuse
generally find fault with the peopU
who complain and try to put thorn ID,
the attitude of opponents of govern
ment. 1 want to assure you tho most
loyal supporters of government are)
not found in groat trusts whioh think
they aro greater than tho government
and control it They aro found among
tho masses who want to secure love
for the government by overy citizen
by making it so good it will deserve
their love. Remembor you cannot
reform ovil by talking, you havo got
to reform it by voting. People may
complain as much as they like
about a bad law, but tho way
to get rid of it is to repeal it and tha
way to repoal it is to voto for thoso
who believe In ropcallng tho laws that
are bad and not those who want to
make more bad laws and keep all tho
bad laws already in existence. If tho
people of this country would all rec
ognize the power of the ballot and
use that power as they should, thero
would be less complaint against injus
tice. If our laws are bad, remembor
the people who pormlt tho laws to re
main bad aro to blame. If our laws
aro to be good, those who want them ,
good nave got to mako them good. I
thank you.''
