forget that truism , the experience of a lov
ing daughter of Iowa brings It to the fore
Her soldier lover was In Ihe Philippine
army. At least she claimed him as her
lover , and poured out her soul In frequent
letters to her soldier boy. But the soldier
boy was not stirred by the sweet muslo
of the girl he left behind him and failed
to answer She wanted to know what be
came of him and clamored at the post-
office department and -war department for
information. Finally the congressman , de
siring peace , -went to the war department
and , at the rate of ? 3 a word , sought Information
mation regarding the young man concerning
whom the young woman was eo anxious.
He was found with his regiment , in good
health. He confessed the reception of
tnlrty odd letters , which came to him in
packages , but he had not acknowledged
their receipt because the weather was so
hot , and further excused himself on the
ground that he had told the young woman
before leaving that he was no hand at writIng -
Ing letters.
Rev. Peter McQueen writes In Leslie's
Weekly "I saw Lawton wade the N'or-
zagary river where other men were swept
away by the current. At this point ho had
been two days without food He had a wet
sandwich In his pocket and sat down on
the bank of the river to eat his humble
fare That night I sent him down a chicken
which I had picked up in my foraging tour ,
and the British consul , who was with him ,
told me that he paid the natives full price
for It. This shows that Lawton was \ery
careful in his dealings with the natives.
Major Edwards , the adjutant , called us re
porters up one day and asked us If we had
receipts for all the chlckena which we had.
There was a twinkle In hl eye as we told
him that the owners ot the chickens had
gone away before we were able to get a
leceipt But all these incidents show how
htrlct General Lawton was In his endeavors
to have the natives treated kindly. He had
great hopes for the Filipinos The last time
I saw him he eald to mo 'I have met men
nnd women among the Filipinos who would
grace society In any country In the -world.
I predict that when peace comes nnd the
liberal government which the Americans
will give these people they will be one of
the most peaceful , prosperous , thrifty races
on the globe ' "

Recentl ) a grand conventicle WIP be i
In N'ebratka , In which Colonel Bryan a >

llRht upon the ratio , whether 1 $ dec

the populist national convention will * <

It will doubtless nominate Colonel Jlrya
i for president It U believed that isuch a
, tlou will placate the popullut vote , a large
I section of which in 1SS5 objected to taking
him pccond-hand after he had been notn.
, nated at Chlcaso U is expected that the
democratic taste has become so vitiate 1
that It will take any dote that Colon * '
Bryan will choose to admlnlMer
It will be seen that this plan for fusion
Is familiar II was followed In California
In 1S9S Judge Magulrc was nominate ]
for governor by the populists first signed
their platform , partook of their communion
found a family strawberry mark
on Ihem , and then hw was taken
second-hand by the democrats. and
thcu he was beautifully beaten bv
the people. Only a politician who be
lleves ho Is n man of dc tlny , born with a
caul , and having a horoscope that nothing
can knock out , would follow the example
of such a plan that had such a result
The Incidents of the Nebraska conventi
cle were characteristic of the spirit Bryan
has put Into a politics that affects his In
terests. H is the spirit of Intense intel
erance. His organization docs not permit
the discussion of plans or policies. It
adopts them , and then excludes all who wish
discussion. In the call for the Bryan pop
ulist meeting at Lincoln , Issued by the Ne
braska member of the populist national
committee , he Bald. "Those supporting
Barker and Donnelly should not be permit
ted to take part in the meetings of our
committee or in the convention. "
Barker and Donnelly are opposed lo the
committee concluding the action of Iho con
vention in advance of Its meeting. They
dcelre the gathering of a free convention to
discuss the policy of fusion and of Colonel
Brya.n's nomination , upon which th com
mittee has already decided Therefore be
cause they wish the convention to be a de
liberative body , to discuss principles and
policy and decide after examination , rather
than merely record a decision already
reached by the committee , they are calmly
ruled out by Colonel Bryan's dictation , and
only those who favor bis nomination and
the fusion will be admitted.
It le doubtful If bosslsm ever went to
greater extremes In American politics. The
populist national convention will meet. All
opposition will bo excluded. Colonel Bryan
will be nominated and the country will bo
called to admire the unanimity of ascrip
tion to bis great talents and popularity. And
ho sits down with the populist committee
and deliberately plans bis pun nomination
and Indorsement and excludes from the
counsels and conventions of Ihe party all
who oppose him !
It is strange that any man of sufficient
sense to find his own mouth with his food
should expect to fool the country by such
artifices. It Is perfectly well known that
California , New Jersey , New York and
Maryland would send to the democratic na
tional convention , under the regular call ,
solid gold delegations , opposed to the popu
list fusion and opposed to Bryan's nomina
tion. But it Is equally well known that If
this were done that convention would give
such delegations a dose of the same medi
cine Colonel Brjan has prescribed for ob
jecting populists. Thej would be excluded
from the convention. Just ns the Dakota ,
Nebraska and Michigan delegations were In
1S9C , and their scale would be filled. If neces
sary , by men who were not candidates In
the state conventions. So It is recognized
as useless to try for a hearing , even. In the
democratic convention. Colonel Brjan will
bo nominated by the fusion , and eelf-re
spectlng democrats and populists will see to
it that his kind of bosRbm Is killed RO
dead that It will never have an imitator.
