of the very few Ihlugs snld by Mr.

It Is proverbially true that a man is
known by the company he keeps.
Applying Ihls lo Mr. Hryan , what sort
of position does K place him In ? What
Is the character of llie men who domi
nated the convention that nominated
him and who arc now most zealous lu
his support ? Is there any one of them
\vhoin \ the sober Judgment of the Ameri
can people would select for any public
station of great responsibility ? There
was no one In the Ohleago convention
who exerted greater iniluoneo than Gov
ernor Altgehl and probably next to him
was Senator Tlllman. These men have
attained some political prominence In
their respective states , but they are
generally regarded , and very properly
so , as dangerous demagogues , who tire
ready to Incite the people lo revolu
tion In order lo carry out their political
doctrines. There are worthy citizens ,
ntniuestlonably , who were among the
majority In the Chicago convention , but
the leaders there are men whom the
American people would not elevate to
any high position lu the government.
Yet ( huso are iho right-hand supporters
of Mr. Hryan nnd would have his ear

Is in their company now and would be

from public life. As the New York

cratic lenders who 'rallied around'
Mr. Jtrynn were Sheehan , the Buffalo
defaulter. Mr. Sulzer , the former Tam
many speaker -of the assembly , nnd
Hey Purroy and Jimmy Oliver of Tam
many Hall. " Although Mr. Hryan was
In New York Oily for several days he
did not have the company of any of the
distinguished democrat of that , city or
:
state. They kept aloof and only the
'
small politicians of more or less unsavory -
savory records called upon the popo-
era tic candidate. It Is true that Senator
Hill recognized Mr. Hryan in n social
way when he was at Albany , but he
declined to allilhitc with him publicly. .
Whitney , Hewitt , Tail-child , Itissell and
the other democratic leaders In the '
ICmpIre state did not. so much as honor
the Chicago nominee with a perfunctory

There has been no occasion for any- II
ody nt any headquarters to Instruct IIo
I'he Bee as to what It shall print or
n :
oppress concerning Bryan's oxpedl- k
lon Into "the enemy's country. " As kft
member of the Associated press , The Ir
See was the first to remonstrate against
he perversion of the service In the in- T.
crest of Bryan or any other candidate
d !
or olllce. The function of the ASKO-
luted press is to transmit the news , not aiC
C (
D circulate campaign literature and per-
tl
ontil imffs.
AVhen the Associated press appointed 01m
Ir. Bryan's private secretary as Its m
tv
gent to travel with Bryan and report

uiH lo have been expected that every-
lilng sent out about the pnpocratlc can- then

pn

irge grains of salt. For example , th
iryan's reception at Lincoln , which thm ;
as attended by no more than r > , ( UK ) Hi
eople , was heralded forth by the ilc
ryan Associated press agency as a en
rush of "iO.OOO people. Hryun's recep- I '
oii in Omaha , which his personal organ
this city credited with an exagger-
led nttenduiico of Ifi.lHX ) , was given
the Associated press as a sponta- bli
i'ons demonstration of UOK ( ) ( > people. CO
s n matterof _ fact , according to the ra

ed S,0M ( ) . It
Bryan's passage through Omaha on rli'
s way to ' 'tlui enemy's country" drew a
it more than twenty people to the wlwl
atlon , but the special correspondent wl
the Associated press made Bryan Tli
take hands with a whole army of ad- tin
Irers congregated to bid him good- tin'J
re. All the way across Iowa the lin- 'J
Inatlvo prim to secretary peopled Wl
cry station with thousands and every ilk
ater tank and railroad crossing with tw

uberant enthusiasm. Such reports wli
uro doubtless highly gratifying to the
Ivor organs west of the Hoekle.s , but sen
ey wcro an Imposition upon Asso- slo
elated press members ns well ns upon
the public.
It Is f-ir this reason that Tlio Bee Is
exercising Its privilege to keep Its re
ports of Brynn's wnndcrliigs nml vapor-
lugs within reasonable limit. As pre
viously stated , the bulk of the Bryan
speeches nro mere repetitions of the
same old song. Whenever Bryan gives
oxnsslon ] to anything original or newer
or meets witli any Incident that is of
moment or has any bearing upon the
campaign , the renders of The Bee will
have all the particulars.

From Sulphur Springs , Ark. , come : )
the latest high sounding manifesto over
the signature of General Master Work
man Sovereign. This Kulstaft of the
dlsorganl/-d knighls manes a stirring
appeal to the fiOO.OOO men In buckram ,
whose sovereign he Imagines himself to
be , to rally around the silver-crested
standard of the popoerats. This grand
high muck-a-muek was a ranting green-
backer back in the seventies , and
predicted dire ruin to all wage-workers
If 1'nele Sam should attempt to redeem
his promises by resuming specie pay
ments. In 1S7I ) Uncle Sam did resume
nnd the country was never more pros
perous than during the ten years fol
lowing resumption. Worklngmen had
no dilllctilty In finding employment at
good wages , and every dollar they
earned was worth 100 cents all the
world over.
But the almighty Sovereign refused to
be consoled or reconciled to prosperous
conditions. He kept on howling about
the money power when the money
pow.'r was pouring streams of gold into
the hip of labor and millions upon mil
lions were being expended In building
railroads , In public Improvements , and
In the erection and operation of mills
and factories. In those days the
ICuights of Labor were n power In the
laud and they would have been so to
day had they had level-headed , broadminded -
minded leadership that would Inspire
confidence and respect. But when such
rattle-brained wind-bags sis Sovereign
fulminate edicts and manifestoes that
have for Ihelr sole object the promotion
of their own political ambition through
the conversion of labor organizations
Into political clubs , Intelligent working
men will naturally decline to permit
themselves to be used as catspuws to
pull anyone's political chestnuts out of
the lire.

The nomination of General Bueknei1
if Kentucky for vice president by the
national democratic parly will be re
garded by the country as another evi-
lence of the subsidence of sectional
reeling bMwccn the north and south
ind as such will be welcomed by all pa-
.riotic citizens. In his letter of accept- ,
nice Major McKiuley said : "The connL
ry Is to be congratulated upon the nl-
nest total obliteration of the sectional-
sin which for many years marked the
Itvlsion < if the United States into slave
ind free territory and finally threatened
ts partition into two separate govern-
nents by the dread ordeal of 'civil war.
I'he era of reconciliation , so long and
arnestly desired by General Grant and
nany other great leaders , north and
onth , has happily come and the feeling c
f distrust and hostility between the ' '
eetions Is everywhere vanishing , let u. "
lope never lo return. Nothing Is better
alculated to give strength to the nation
t home , increase our power and iullu-
nee abroad and add to the permanency
nd security of our free institutions
linn the restoration of cordial relations
list ween the people of all sections and
arts of our beloved country. " This is
lie language of patriotism.
15ut while the republican and the 1111-
lonnl democratic parties are thus man-
'e-sting their desire to banish forever
, 'hatever remains of the old spirit of
L'ctioiialism , the political element rep-
I'seiiteil by Mr. Hrynn is seeking to
rente sectional antagonism. Watson ,
lie populist candidate for vice pros-
lent , has frankly declared that the
until and west are engaged in a contest
gainst the north and east and Mr.
iryiin himself has throughout his pub-
c career contributed as much as any
Iher man In the country to the pro-
lotion of this sectional feeling. He has
ist no opportunity to inllame popular
ellng in tlie west against the east and
i an Insidious way ho is doing this
ill. The contrast belwen Iho rcpuh-
i-an candidate nml the popoerutlc can-
Idate in this respect is most , marked

iidlanapolU Nqws : It U curious how
qucni Mr. Bryan can ba without saying
rllilng but words , words , words. He
tfr or very rarely condescends to the
gar practice ot giving facts or statistic ! )
figures except figures of rhetoric. II
eches are rather the pronouncements of
irophet. They aru not addressed to the I
reason , but to the passion and prejudices of
men. He comes before the public as thu
champion of a Cause with a big c ; ho Is
the leader of a crusade , whoso mission Is not
to persuade , but to arouse ; he Is a. knight
errant pricking forth to rescue from dire
ovll the beautiful virgin silver whom wicked
men have taken and despltcfully treated.
Of course , that temper of mind is not con
ducive to calm argument or sweet reason
ableness. The man raised up to fulfill u
mission announces , ho does not argue ; his
hearers are to accept what ho says because
ho says 11. Ho docs not attempt to prove
or glvo sound reasons for thinking that free
coinage will raise the price of silver to $1.29
an ounce. He simply says : "We believe"
that It will. And they that bo for Bryan
thereupon raise a great shout.

Ernst Honnlnghoveii. Treas.
The refusal of the writer of this
slanderous circular to niako any cor-
ectlon or retraction compels mo to
irand as malicious and false every
eference therein made to myself or
The Ueo. lu repelling these baseless
charges it also becomes my disagreeable
luty to expose the disreputable meth
ods by which public sympathy lias
) een invoked and contributions have
jce.il solicited through deception and
lownright imposture.
The Inference sought to be conveyed
by the lying appeal for help is
that George ' ! ' . T/.schuck. ng secretary
of The Hoe 1'iiblishlng ; company , com
pelled the lienniiighovons to give a chat
tel mortgage as security for a debt
owing to The Itee Publishing company.
The truth is that The P eo Publishing
company has never done any printing
for the Nebraska Vorwaerls and bus
never hail any claim against the Uen-
iiiiighovcns. It is absolutely mil rue
that 1 have personally or through any
one else sought lo influence George 15.
TzsohucU lo foreclose the mortgage or
to drive the concern lo the wall , as is
alleged by Krnst Hennlnghovon.
The truth is that George It. Txsebuck
some five years ago became Interested
in the Kestnor Printing company , and
to my regret as well as to his own loss
has been involuntarily brought into
business relations with the Ifonnlng-
hovens , who owed the Kostner company
several hundred dollars for work per
formed and materials furnished. This
debt was , however , only a part of the
$100 ( ! for which the mortgage was i
given. The greater part of that sum
represents notes ( indorsed by George 11 ,
Txsehuek and his father , General Kruno
Timeline ] ; . These notes were not paid (
by their makers when due and Messrs.
T/schuek had to make them good with
the bunk in which I hey hud been dis
counted by the Iteiiningliovens.
All these facts were unknown to me
until this week , when I made Inquiry
of George 15. Tzschuck as to the
transaction about wlileh tliu Ien- !
nlnghoveiis have sought to besmirch
me. It was also unknown to me until ;
the last two days that the Impostors
who are pretending to In ; horrilled and
distressed over the possibility of the.
capture of the Vonvoorls by McKlnley
and Wall street gamblers had sought to
negotiate a sale of the paper to the republican - S ;
publican state central committee and
made an offer to let'the country go to t
ruin If they were paid ijiil.oiK" ) for all
their Interest In the Vonvuerts. Includ
ing those iinpurchusahlo convictions.
This offer was made by Krnst Ilennlng-
hoveii lo ll. 15. Schneider , treasurer of
the republican slate committee , who
positively declined to buy the paper.
How much the men who issued this \
slanderous appeal have reallxed from
credulous patrons I have no means of
knowing. Iful I do know that by their
false representations they have roped In .
OIK ! man to sign flielr notes for .f.'DO

Despite the unfavorable llmtnclal condition
of the empire , the government has decided I
to spend many millions of dollars In addi

Japanese matters , expresses nl.irm at the Im
mense outlay proposed. The army Is to b (
raised from six to thirteen full divisions ,
mnro thnn doubling Its strength and possi
bilities. Hut tlic additions to the navy are
even more significant. Contracts have been
made for the completion by 1U02 of flfty-
four mou-of-wnr of various classes , with a
combined tounago of 4 [ > .SiO. ! mid by 1903 ot
sixty-three additional vessels , whoso total

When the day comes for the enfranchise f
mont of a subjected race , the sultan bows
to the Inevitable as nonchalantly as ho
commands the decimation of a people whoso
revolt may have been premature , and , there
fore , abortive. The logic of his action In
the rase of Crete , for Instance. Is very sim
ple. Doubtless the curtailment of the dominions - ,
minions under his direct rule la ns dlstaHto-V
ful to him as It would bo to any other sov- |
erelgn , but what is ho to do ? To carry on )
war troops are required , and to maintain ]
armies In the Held costs money. Where Isi
the money to come from ? While war laata
no taxes can bo collected , and a war In ,
Crete might last u long time. A noncontributing
tributing province Is useless to the sultan ,
since , without revenue , and In the depleted
condition of his treasury , ho cannot hold his
own oven In those parts of his empire which./ /
still remain nominally faithful. From at't
autonomous dependency , however , some trlh-lM
lite ciin be secured. Accordingly , he acceptslj
kismet , and takes the tribute. It might boB
supposed that with the pacification of the ]
Cretans the crisis In the eastern question ) !
has again been postponed for an Indefinite ,
number of years , and such was probably )
the expectation of the Intervening powers./ /
