VOL. IX. No.1CHICAGO, ILL., OCTOBER 11, 1900:jfootball.Day after tomorrow Chicago will try to set­tie any championship asperations possessed bythe University of Minnesota at NorthropField, and a pretty contest is sure to be the result. The Gophers have been under the in­struction of Dr. H. L. Williams, a former Yale'athlete and a successful football coach, ever'since the beginning of the summer, and al- ', though said to be rather lacking in veteranmaterial, are bound to make a good showing.One thing that will perhaps militate againstthem, though, is the fact that Dr. Williams, be­ing a new coach this year, has had to do lotsof experimenting in order to become acquaint­ed with the capabilities of his men. The con­seq uence of this is shown in the report that.not o ne of the old men on the team is nowplaying in his accustomed position, a conditionof things which may mean a strong or weakaggregation for us to overcome, accordingly asthe men have or have not become used to theirnew duties. But be that as it may, a heavy,well-trained eleven will be put in' the fieldagainst us, and it will play on its homegrounds. Minnesota has not been so well tried.out by hard practice games yet, as has theMaroon team, and this lack of seasoning shouldhelp our chances considerably. Thus hergames with Carleton and Ames, the only col­lege opponents she has encountered, did notcompare, so far as a real test of ability goes,with our own struggle against Purdue. Carle­Ion lost by a score of 44 to 0; and Ames, amore formidable antagonist, was beaten by 27points. The Chicago-Minnesota score lastyear was 29 to 0, and the strong defensivework of the Northern men was a great featureof their play.In the game with Purdue last Saturday ourmen, were able to rush the, ball' a total of 335y""ards to our opponents 257. The longest series of gains Chicago made while havingcontinuous possession of the ball, was 78 yds.;Purd ue carried the ball 51 yds. before scoringby a placekick from the twenty-five yardline. During the game Chicago punted tentimes for' a total of 373 yards, and Purduepunted fourteen times for a gain of 316 yds.Football games the past week have been amatter of increasing interest. In the first placePrinceton began its season, by beating StevensInstitute by the round score of 40 to 0; andfollowed <it up a few days later by making 12to 5 against the Lehigh eleven. Thus Prince­ton has shared with Pennsylvania and Chicagothe misfortune of having been scored againstby a weak team in an early practice game.Both eastern instances, however, seem to havebeen nothing more, than "flunks," while thetwo scores against the Maroon so far were, wemust admit, fairly earned.Other eastern 'games which are interesting,for the sake of comparison, if nothing more,were those played by Yale and Columbia. Yalehad more trouble with Tufts than the score of30 to 0 would seem to' indicate, for it was notuntil the last few minute'S of play, when theMassachusetts men were thoroughly exhaust­ed, that the score' began to assume such un­balanced proportions. As an indication of thestrength of the West Point Cadets,who barelyovercame Tufts a week previously, this gameis perhaps significant. The other game, thatbetween Columbia and Wesleyan, attractsone's attention because of the fact that San­ford's men' could only make one-half as many'as Harvard forced from the same opponentsone week earlier in the season. EvidentlyColumbia should not be a. :really .dang erous"quantity when she and Harvard meet day aftertomorrow.Contests by the principal middle westernteams were productive of no startling results.Wisconsin found, the strong P. and S. team avery difficult proposition, while Michigan hadits hands full in duplicating last year's scoreagainst I Kalamazoo College. Northwesternand lllinois did very well, but whether or notIowa had a game and how it resulted we donotnow know.The coming week in football will decidemany things we are now puzzling over, andwill give us a line on the work of possiblechampions. In the first place Illinois willhave met the heavy Physicians and Surgeonsteam before this number of the WEEKLY hasappeared, and will have.'succeeded or failed inbettering the scores .. of Wisconsin and North­western against it. Then Harvard and Colum­bia, and Pennsylvania and Brown will have.very interesting trials. of strength. In truththe battle of, the giants is not far off when suchhard preparatory games are being contested inEast and West·The news that plucky "Joe" Hunter ofNorthwestern is back in the game once morewill be hailed with satisfaction by Chicagomen. Hunter has been the bright star of theMethodist team for several years past, and hiswork in the game' on Marshall Field lastautumn gained him hosts of admirers. N orth­western has- had her full share of hard luck re­cently, and we hope the tide has now turned.How Stephanotis Won His Bride.'BY THE ,D-CH-SS.The little, pretty, soft, disheveled curls,brown as hazel nuts, are lying on' a foreheadwhite as Parian marble. The delicately round­ed cheeks are flushed with the fond heat ofsleep about to be. Long dark lashes on themgive the impression of coal on a field of blood.Her mouth, red as ripe tomatoes, half open,discloses a row of pretty teeth, snowy as newsweetca"rn. And yet, as Acanthus Blossom,reclining in the picturesque hammock, gazesover the limitless expanse of the duck pond,one would not call her beautiful. .Stephanotis, debonair and lithe in his wellfitting flannels and fresh from London tri­umphs, -happens to listlessly stroll past thehammock with-its sweet burden. His thoughts 562 •are far away, though 'his body is there. He isthinking about the new plan to be producednext month,' in which he is to have the leadingpart. All the company has been engaged andthe work has been progressing well, when theleading lady had been obliged to leave onaccount of the illness of the sister-in-law of hercousin thrice removed. She was to plan thepart of a charming, laughing dairy-maid, whoturns out to be the heiress of Gle ncoirny Hall.Where could such another be found!Suddenly his feet are checked by .a pace.Before him lies the picture of his dreams.The dewy lips of Acanteus Blossom look sauc­ily up at him: An ideal dairy-maid! He musthave her for his leading lady! How he accom-·plished it he never knew; but in two weeksAcanthus Blossom is treading the boards ofthe Trivolity Theater rending the hearts of heraudience by her spirituelle representation ofthe part. To Acanthus herself it was a delight­ful novelty. The pampered and sportedLondon belle, who had been stopping with hermaiden aunt at Ballykillrudderdock, had, ina spirit of mischief and to the horror of auntJemima Kate seized this opportunity of grati­fying her histronic desires.And here she is! Very pleasant has shefound it, especially as nightly she reclines inthe muscular embrace of Stephanotis, and ashe kneads her hand like a lump of stiff dough.Although he still thinks her the dairy-maid ofBallykillruddeadock, she has become dearerto him than life itself with each successiveresperation, and now, as the end of the seasondraws nigh, he thinks that were he parted fromher it would be to suffer the torturesof.hell.Yet he must not, he dare not ask lier to be hiswife and she has refused to sign for nextseason. What can he do? Nothing, and hisheart is heavy within him.As Acanthus Blossom in her gorgeous vel­vets and furs is preparing to leave the dressingroom, the call-boy enters and says there is alady without, but bids her to be ushered innot however, without a sinking of heart. Withconsternation she recognizes the sinister fea­tures of aunt Jemima Kate. That lady entersand exclaims in stentorian accents: "Acanthus,I have come. Today you leave this vileathmosphere forever!Acanthus paled,' Must she leave this placewithout a look into the eyes she had learnedto love? Fate answered her, for at that instantthe object of her heart's adoration burst intothe room."Madam. what means this!" he said."It means that my niece, Acanthus returns,never to come back."Stephanotis feels his heart grow heavier."Has she not had enough of eggs?" he cries."Eggs!" yelled the old lady. "What meansyou!"With a puzzled air he said: "Is she not yourdairy maid?""Dairy-maid!" shrieked lady Kilroy, scanda­lized.' "She is the heiress of Archibald, LordEclandore.The scales fall from his eyes, This explainsit all. How could he for a moment havebelieved that spirituelle face belonged to adairy-maid? The last obstacle was removed.At last they can be united."If that be so, may I not claim your niecefor my wife?" he says in husky tones."You are actor! How dare you, sir!" shecries.Stephanotis rose with a calm and dignifiedmein. "Have you never heard," he asks, "thatI am the son and heir of Lord Terfolling?Wearied by the hollowness and frivolities ofsociety and impelled by a love of art, I enteredthe thespian fields. I am rich and well bredN ow will you not give me your niece?The old lady had nothing more to say.Stephanotis never appeared to better advan­tage than now, as he tenderly turned toAcanthus, who was looking on with proudlyglistening eyes, and whispered the one word"Darling!"She sank into his arms; he sank into a gildedchair.At last these two troubled hearts were atpeace.. .Seve n members of this year's baseba 11 teamat Minnesota was awarded an "M" on Oct. 3d.The enrollment at .the University of Califor­nia will exceed 3000 students.There are four Filipinos registered at theUniversity of Minnesota and six at California. 563Foot Ball Captains of 1900.The following is a list of the principal col­lege and university teams this fall, togetherwith the positions they respectively fill:Harvard, Daly, quarterback; Yale, Brown,guard, Princeton, Pell, tackle; Pennsylvania,Hare, guard; Columbian, Simons, fullback;Cornell, Starbuck, fullback; Carlisle Indians,Seneca, halfback; Lafayette, Chambers, tackle;Brown, Washburn, halfback; West Point, Smith,'end; Williams, Simmons, halfback; Penn. StateCollege, Scholl, guard; Wesleyan, Dodd. end;Lehigh, Gearhardt, end; Swarthmore, Hall,quarterback; Michigan, Snow, end; Purdue,Robertson, halfback; Minnesota, Page, end;Illinois, Hall, end; Northwestern, Deitz, guard;Iowa, Griffith, fullcack; Oberlin, Hatch, end;California, Pringle.From these data it will be seen that out of23 captains, 4 play at fullback, 5 at half. 2 atquarter, 7 at end, 0 at center, 4 at guard, and2 at tackle, End appears to be the favoriteposition for the leaders of the teams this year,with half a close second. Center rush is theonly place unfilled by one of these twenty-threecaptains, though page of Minnesota playedthaf'position in '99. Thus.T'apt. Speed may besaid to stand alone in his glory. If end is con­sidered a line position, the captains are prettyequally divided between the forwards and thebacks, ten being among the former and thirteenamong the latter. It appears therefore, thatthere is no particularly advantagous positionfrom which to direct a team, but that a manmay play anywhere and still be a good l�ader,The seriiors were the victors at the first semi.annual regatta at California University.The corner-stone of the new Warner grmna­sium at Oberlin was laid on Thursday, Sept.27th .Plans are under way at the University ofMinnesota for the organization of a school of. pedagogue.Gen.

Many lapsesfrom grace in former years have been occa­sioned by forgetfulness, and we intend to actas memory-joggers during this coming year.The rule formed by the Administrative "Boardof Student Organizations and printed in theUNIVERSITY REGISTER is a special regulation,reading as follows:"Membership in secret organizations amongJunior College and unclassified students is lim­ited to those who have finished at least three'II $1.50.75 majors of work in resi denc at the University.This regulation is. intended to be construed toexclude solicitation to membership, and allforms of agreement to acquire membership be­fo'te a student has completed three majors gfwork in the University,"No interpretation tan be· g·otten from thisrule other than the sirn plest. It means this:No J unior College or unclassified student canpledge himself, or make any promise to pledgeat some future date, until he has receivedcredit for three major's work, which work musthave been done at the University. it means.too, that any attempt of obtaining one's wordof honor, before he knows this rule thoroughly,is taking, a dishonorable advantage of him.After a new student knows the rule, then if. hestill gives his word, his ideas of honor. arewarped, and instead of being a credit to. histo his University and his Society, he brings dis­credit on both. No man is so depraved injudgment as to make promises before the timeis ripe for these promises. No honorable or­ganization which �as the interest of the Uni­versity at its heart, would so flagrantly break arule made for the good of all. As for penal­ties, the greatest punishment is a man'� ownconscience. To know that you cr.ept, like awhipped cur, into the organizatisn.you shouldlove and cherish best of all after .. your U niver­sity, must turn the sweetesthopes to gall. Dis­grace is the other alterna tive. If any breachof this rule becomes known, expulsio.n shouldand will follow for the new student, and re­fusal of recognition as a University .�9�;e. -Iorthe Organization. Freshmen, don't compro­mise yourself in any manner.

We ,hope to hear from them soon.=----- -�The Rush Commencement.The first Rush Commencement since theabsorption of that institution by the Univer­sity, took place at University Hall last Fridayevening. The faculties of the two schoolswere in attendance and President Harper pre­sided. Dr. Lewellys Franklin Barker, in hisspeech on "The Study of Anatomy," tracedthe wonderful progress made in medical sci­ence during the past century, and also calledattention to the markedly improved methodsof teaching it.The dean of the faculty, Dr. Frank Billings,read his annuaFreport; and Dean Dodson thenconferred the degree of doctor of medicineupon James W. Andrist, Chas. A. Betts, Wm.S. Cossairt, Philip A. Crum, Howard G. Jones,Charles E. Jenkins, J ames Kelly, John A. Mil­ler, Edward T. Rathert, Ralph W. Sonder andFrancis G. Swedenburg. The fact that thecandidates for degrees, upon filing up onto thestage to get their diplomas, thoughtlesslyturned their backs upon President Harper andthe faculty members, and faced the audience,was productive of much quiet. amusement.Rabbi Hirsch closed the exercises with a shortbenediction.College Notes.The first week at the Eastern colleges wastaken up principally by the organization of thevarious classes.From th'e Minnesota daily: "The class of'03 challeq,ges you (the freshmen) to a finalcane rush, to be held between the hal ves of thefootball game, Saturday, October 6th. PerCaptain."The annual mass meeting held in the inter­ests of U niversity athletics, at Michigari l-astFriday, resulted in a subscription of $2,296.50.Of this amount $1245 came from the Greekletter fraternities.A branch of the New Haven post office wasestablished on the Yale campus at the openingof this college year, for the convenience ofstudents and faculty. The station is equippedwith a regular post office box for each dormi­tory room, in addition to a few boxes open torental by college organizations. 565The Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament atPhiladelphia last week, resulted in a walkawayfor the Princeton representatives, Alexanderand Little. The two' had an easy victory inthe doubles, and Little also managed to winout in singles.The new Chicago Institute has been forcedto close its doors to any more applicants foradmission because of a lack of accom m o da­tions. And in fact this is only one of manysimilar reports that come to us from highereducational institutions in all parts of thecountry;"Maxey" Long, the Columbia sprinter, is do­ing "all sorts of things" to world's recordsthese days. First he smashed the best timefor a quarter mile on a circular track by run­ning the distance in 47 4- 5 seconds. Then onOct. 4 he went the same distance on a straight­away course in 47 flat; thus doing away withthe old record of 47 3-4, made by WendleBaker at Boston in 1887.President Thompson, of the Ohio State Uni­versity, in a recent address on the subject,"Does a College Education Pay?" said: "Thecollege-bred man gets into his position tenyears earlier than the, uneducated man. Acollege education is an absolute guaranteeagainst poverty or distress. The successfulmen who are not college men only prove thegreatne.ss of opportunity." Although thesestatements may seem som.ewhat rash to thecasual observer, they cannot help being veryencouraging.A late issue of the Colorado College "Tiger"is largely devoted to the life and achievementsof Mr. J. C. Ewing, '00, erstwhile known to usas "Buck." In it one friend admits, amongother things, that he is still "quite young;"that he has played football and baseball "un­der the direct training of the famous Stagg"for five or six years in. the aggregate; that he"was a member of the Students' Council dur­ing his whole-course;" and that he won a meedof fame as an editor of the "Cap and Gown,"the official paper of the University, and as areporter of one of the city papers. "In fact,"says the "Tiger," in a feeble attempt to sumup its assets, "Mr. Ewing has a record of whichany college graduate could be .proud, and it iswith.a feeling of pride as well as of confidencethat we receive him into the life of ColoradoCollege. "Buck" seems to have arrived at theright sort of a place.___--..._-567. A Fable in Slang of the Big Freshman WhoDidn't Do a Thing.There was once a husky kid who went to auniversity, where he made every body else looklike the holes in aSwiss cheese. In football thetouchdowns just fought each other to be madeby him'; he could go through the strongestline there ever was. In dramatics he was so finethat Mansfield offered him the job as star inhis company. And the instructors-well, theyfelt hurt if he ever came into class. Prexeycame to him, and with a crooked knee, askedhim to accept the presidency, but-"Not onyour Darwinian theory," said Willy.Pretty soon none of the eastern collegeswould play foot ball with that university;they were afraid of Husky Willy, the touch­down's friend. And the dramatic club kickedhim out because he wanted to be the wholething. Then the girls got tired of craning theirnecks to reach his level, so they gave him thehaughty "humph 1" And, in addition to all,he couldn't get any hats to fit him. Whilethey were making one for him, he went out,and caught cold and died. When the medicsexamined him they declared that he died ofinflamed caput.Moral :-If you've got to be a Freshman, bea big one-but don't be too big.GEORGE LEMON ADE, (B. E.

To, a WEEKLY reporter, who wentto interview Professor Laughlin concerning hisreasons for his change of view, he expressedthe wish that the WEEKLY would flatly denythat he had or ever had had any such intention.When asked if he would, on the contrary, votefor Mr. McKinley, he said that at the presenttime he thought he would not. He stated thatwhile he could not vote for Mr. Bryan, becauseof his position on the money question and sev­eral other points, at the same time he felt thathe could not justify himself for casting his bal­lot for Mr. McKinley, because of the Presi­dent's attitude toward imperialism. Whenasked which of the two questions he thoughtthe most vital, 16 to 1 or imperialism, he saidthat he preferred not to discuss the matter, forin his mind the personal opinion of individualswas of little moment, that it remained to eachand everyy<?ter to make up his own mind, asto which candidate he would give his support,according to his light.News from Other Colleges.Mr. Dan Trude has returned from Idaho.Mr. Clarence A.

I havebeen one of the trustees of Yale for twelve years andhave just been elected for six years more. Scholasticinstitutions do not fear a third term. I wish I hadknown before I came here that this opportunity wouldcome to me and I would have prepared somethingspecial in view of the audience which is before me. Ire-cognize that a student audience differs very muchfrom-the general industrial audience which we speakersin the campaign are accustomed to address. I wish Ihad Mr. Bryan's speech in order to review what he pre­sented and know what his contention was. Lhave beentrying to find out what Mr. Bryan is at by reading hiseighteen speeches a day. I read this morning a speechhe made somewhere down in this state. In that speechhe. divided the people of the United States into threeclasses-the farmer who creates wealth, the toiler whoworks for wages in the shops: and the men who work forwages in the cities and in the towns handling what thefarmers and shops produce; and that is all that consti­tutes, according to his theory of yesterday, the inhabi­tants ot the United States. You notice he leaves outall of the professional people. He states that the farmerand the toilers are the ones who are oppressed. He saystheyhave no representation in legislation.no representa­tion in congress, no standing anywhere, and he proposesto rescue them from the frightful tyranny under whichthey now labor and will labor if the Republican partysucceeds. By eliminating the lawyers, doctors, college­men, engineers and electricians he puts us all in theclass of the oppressors.and the farmers and toilers forwages in the class 0,£ the oppressed. The farmers con­stitute at least nine-tenths of the voting power of thecountry, therefore if he is correct this nine-tenths whocarry the men to congress, who elect. the city councilsand prosecuting officers, are unable. to take 'care of1 hemselves witnout .his assistance. They are the peo­ple who govern themselves ,they are the absolute power;and if hIS statement .is correct then they lack the- in­telligence to send their.own representatives to congress,or to elect their own prosecuting officers to enforce the569laws which they want.enforced, and they need to be in­structed,how to protect themselves. We who work withour heads are the people who are putting up jobs for thepurpose of robbing our fellow citizens. I see nothingin this but the ahandonment of every principal uponwhich a great party should exist. This creates hatredand enimity in communities. The Republican con­tention is very simple and is based upon the operationof administrative principals. The Republican conten­tion is that their principals affect all people alike, nomatter what their condrtion, occupation, or opportuni­ties. We are in favor of a protective tariff because webelieve it is the only means by which our new countryhas been developed, by which our resources have beenbrought out, by which we have become the masters ofour own market for nearly every necessity and luxury inlife, and have gon,e out to be conquerors in the world.We are in favor of a gold standard of value because webelieve that the gold standard of value is the onlyprincipal upon which there can be sound finances, uponwhich there can be stable credit and security in busi­ness. We believe that the operation of the principal ofthe gold standard of value in force since 1834 and fixedby law in 1873 has been one of the great sources ofAmerica's progress industrially. We are in favor of re­taining the territories that have come to us because we.believe we ought not if we could and cannot if we wouldpart with what we have acquired in the Spanish-Ameri­can war. In a broad way that is the view, that is theprincipal of the Republican contention.Bryan's program is simply a program of negation. Itdenies prosperity, that the protection of American in­dustries has permitted trusts, that the gold standardwill never keep alive the industrial situation of the,country, .. that the holding of the possessions will be adamage to the country,and it asserts with a wild yell offear that we are entering upon a term of militarismgentlemen, and our liberties are to go out as did theliberties of ancient Rome. Well, the two parties maybe represented by eternal principal on the one side anda "yop" on the other. That Mr. Bryan is a false prophetno one will deny .. Mr. Bryan spoke here in 1896. Ispoke immediately after. I had the opportunity ofreading his speech then and seeing what he talkedabout. -He said,' 'If Mr. McKinley is elected and the goldstandard be enfurced,and the protective tariff is put inforce instead of the Wilson Bill, this thing will happen.The savings' bank deposits will be drawn out by the ne­cessicy of the depositors." What has happened? 'Theyhave increased instead. "The National banks will cur­tail their credit so that the business of the country canno longer be safely conducted." Instead of that theNational Banks have nearly doubled the amount of theirexchanges which represent the business of the country.He said railroads would find that they had to layoffmore men and side-track more trains. When he madethat speech the road with which I am connected hadthirty-five miles of freight cars side-tracked. .Now wehave every car we can get and we cannot get enonghcars from the shops or locomotives from the works inorder to carry the work from the mines, factories andmills of the country. He said that our own markets \570would become so bad that the workmen would be in aworse condition even than when 5,000,000 were out ofemployment. Today those 5,000,000 are employed and. there never, in the history of the country, has been suchuniversal employment of labor nor at such high wages.In spite of the tariff the balance of trade is in our favor.Mr. Bryan says this prosperity is fictitious, or fraudu­lent, that we are carried away by commercialism, thatwe are putting the dollar above the man. We are notdoing any such a thing, we are putting it in the reach ofmen. According to Mr. Bryan andhis fellow Bryanitesthe great dangers to the country at the present time aretwo things: imperialism and militaryism. We/went intothe Spanish war with a great deal (If reluctance. Thetroubled condition i.n Cuba was growing worse andworse. We could stand it no longer. The country,without regard to party, unanimously demanded thatthis condition should no longer exist in Cuba and thatSpain should retire and give the Cubans a' chance forself government and' liberty. The "Maine" was blownup and we rushed into war. In a hundred days thePresident had mobilized an army Of_200,OOO men, and ina hundred more the Spanish fleets were sunk and Spainwas driven from the Western hemisphere and was suingfor peace. The treaty was made in which Spain, beingunable to pay any endemnity, gave tous Porto Rico andCuba, to set her free. She gave to us Guam, a stoppingplace across the Pacific Ocean, and the PhilipineIslands. We, in order not to be' totally harsh, paid$20,000,000 in order to reimburse her. The UnitedStates became the sovereign of the Philipine Islands,and tried to rule the people, and from this there was nopossibility of escape. Bryan himself urged the passageof the treaty. Suppose Mr. McKinley had changed hisviews as Bryan changed his. He has sworn to upholdthe laws and.constitution of the United States and he iscompelled to protect that member and compelled to pro­tect every human being in their civil and religiousrights within that territory. In doing that he has em­ployed the army and navy of the United States. Ifhe should withdraw these from, the Phil'ipine Islandstwo things would happen. The United Mates wouldbecome the laughing stock of the world, and second hewould, be impeached by the Congress when it met, andbe degraded from office by unanimous vote of the Sen­ate. Mr. Bryan said the other day the Republican partyhad produced no Thomas Jefferson. Well, the Repub­lican party, as organized today, was formed in 1856, andThomas, Jefferson was at that time a long time dead.But the Republican party did' create Abraham Lincoln,and he gave the final blow to slavery which ThomasJefferson did not do. When Jefferson wrote the immor­tal sentence, "all men are created equal," that remaineda dead Jetter until Lincoln put life into it and freedthe slaves. Darwin could .not find the connecting linkbetween Bryan and Jefferson. If Jefferson lived todayhe wouldn't be a Bryaoite. -Jefferson bought the terri­tory of Louisiana from Napoleon, and, when he reportedwhat he did to Congress, Congress passed this act:"That all civil.military and judicial authority in the terri-'tory of Louisiana shall be conducted by such persons asthe President of the .United States may from time to time appoint. ". There you have tbe consent of the gov­ernment. Thomas Jefferson governed that territoryforthree years by his own arbitrary will and until a regularterritorial government was formed. There were 35,000Frenchmen in that territory, governed without theirconsent. Out of that territory have been carved fifteengreat states and Indian Territory. Monroe acquiredFlorida and put this territory into the hands of GeneralJackson. He was a most arbitrary general and thereis no connection between Jackson and Bryan. Alaska,purchased under johnson's administration, has beenand is still governed without the consent of the gov­erned or without a vote for their own officers j and for.two years President Cleveland exercised this despoticsuperiority, and during that time Bryan was in Congressand never found it out.It is a necessity that the nations which have becomeindustrially congested should have an outlet for theirproduce. The United States produces more than shecan consume, and a market must be found somewhere.The United States has come from the victory in thePhilipines into the view of the world. TheEuropean powers have discovered that there is a powerof tremendous potential over on the other side of theAtlantic, and the United States may take her placeamong the great powers of the o:d world.Now, my.friends, if you are afraid of militaryism, Iwould like to know the basis. There are two kinds ofmilitarism. One by conscription and another by volun­tary enlistment, The latter kind exists in the UnitedStates .. The American soidier 1S nut a conscript, he.isa patriot and wnen called upon to protect his land,answers by bringing forward ten times as many volun­teers as were asked tor. 1 ask you to go back to the, story of the Soutn and the victories of Grant and Sher­man, and read what happened at Appamatox. 'I'hereyou will see what is meant by American militaryism.There is no use talking about free silver for no oneunderstands that now or never will. 'l'here is no usetalking about the merits of the gold standard for no oneunderstands that now or never will. You don't have totake any chances in that now.I have known every President of the United Statesfrom Lincoln down to McKmley, and 1 have no hesita­tion in saying that in ali the knuwledge of the Americanpeople and in the determination to .tallow every wish,In the knowledge ot those things which make for theprosperity of the whole people and country, Americanever had. a wiser or greater President nor opportunityto get a wiser or greater President for a second termthan William McKmley."Love and Truth" was the subject of the,Rev. Frederic E. Denhurst's discourse in theCongregation vesper service held inKent The­ater last Sunday afternoon. His talk was anindirect refutation of th� charge of the Rev. T ..A. T. Hanna, of Shelton, Connecticut, that theUniversity .of Chicago was heretical in itsteachings. Dr. Denhurst defended the Uni­versity; asserting that it broadened the mindof the students, enabling them to see the truthand free themselves from early, falacious be­liefs. The University, he said, was,. as it hadbeen in medaeval, times, the bulwork of thefaith.If you desire GOOD work and.- �-�--���-�-���---�-� ASHEVILLE, N.
