LOUIS,, NKfti FROM THE NATION'S CAPITAL. From Our Own Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 15,1000. Governor Roosevelt, forgetting th? biblical precept in regard to taking the beam from his own eye before attempt ing to extract the mote from that of his opponent, has charged Mr. Bryan with falsehood and other crimes. Vet he himself has been convicted, cf de liberate falsification. While making his Northern tour, a few weeks ago. t here was circulated a statement that, in writing of the Western cowboys, he had described them as men who, 'when drunk on the villainous whiskey of the frontier towns,' engaged too often in dead>y shooting affrays,' and aud 'bru tal dissipation,' but that, nevertheless, 'they are much better fellows and pleasanter companions than small farmers or agricultural laborers; nor are the mechanics and workmen of n great city to be mentioned in the same breath.' Mr. Roosevelt declared that this was a 'villainous' lie.' Yet on page 10,of "Ranch lifo anti tho Hunting Trail," Published by the Century Com - pany of New York and bearing Roost - veil's name as author appears this very statement. His book is so elegantly gotten np sad sells at so high a price that he doubtless never imagined that any of the despised 'farmers,' or 'agri cultural laborers,', or 'mechanics/ or 'workmen' would even be able them selves to read the wanton insult. And now, when engaged in frantic appeals for the votes of these same people he so thoroughly despises, be bad the temerity tb deny point blank U?at he ever said it. But he did say ri. If Mr. Roosevelt regrets the insult i 'ho now believes it was unjustified and uucall I ed for, let him make manly apology, and not attempt to deny plum truth. Some days ago General Grosvenor and Assistant Secretary of War Miekle john undertook to convict Mr. Bryan of falsehood in connection with his statements about the Solu i rea ty. Mr. MieklejohD, in particular, ventured to address n letter to Mr. Bryan', taking him to .task for asserting that that treaty recognized slavery, and saying that although the President confirmed the treaty providing for slavery, he did so with the express reservation that ho did not thereby recognize that institu tion. Mr. Bryan has now replied in ?art, ns follows: ."It is true that tho resident two months after the sign ing of tho treaty sent to General Otis tho instructions which you quote. You will note that the treaty, or agreement, as the President describes it, was con firmed and approved subject to tho action of Congress, and the only ex ception that ho made .was in regard to Article 10, relating to slave- . You can but know, however, that since the Republican party, with the approval of tho Adm ii ist rat ion, has adopted tho theory that the Constitution does not follow the Hag, and therefore, the Thirteenth Amendment does not inter fere with slavery in the Buln archi pelago." This shooed Void Mr. Miekle johu for a while. Ono fact that tlL-i Republicans ure trying in vain to explain away is tho recent rise in the price of silver, wh. ch is now 04 cents an ounce-the nighest since February, 1807. Since last De cember there has been a rise of 41 cents.. They say that tho upward movement is due to an improved de mand from the East. China it is said has been taking more silver, since the troops of the powers need it for local Imrchases, wages of coolies and tho ike. "Chinese merchants prefer sil ver to imported goods. The Indian government, since establishing the gold standard has found increased use tor silver rupees for improved retail business. The consumption of silver in Europe for industrial purposes has also been large." In other words, the stock or gola money is not sufficient. If the chance that the Indian mints may resume silver coinage has raised the price so much, how much mere would the resumption of silver coinage by the United States raise it. Like a good many other Republicans who opposed imperialism until Mark Hanna and McKinley made it a party shibboleth, Senator Depew is having a hard time explaining his past utteran ces. Whenever he is Dilled for a speech, the Democrats cover th^ bill boards o I the towns and fill pages of tho local newspapers with sentences in black typo from interviews on imperi alism which ho gave to tho world two years ago. Ono of the remarks thus brought to the public attention is a statement of Mr. Depew, given to a well-known interviewer here in Wnsh 1 ington during May, 1808, which rend: "If we should keep tho Philippine Islands, we should reverse the tradi tions of this government from its foundation. We would open up a new i ?inc ot policy." A great 'deal more iu the same line is calculated to make Democratic votes, and to make the junior New York Senator shy of tho anti-impcrialisni issue. Estim?tes prepared by tho War De partment on the basis of nn army of 100,000 men and by the Navy Depart ment, put tho total cost of the military and naval system of the United States at $200,000,000 during tho next fiscal year. According to existing law, tho Sresent nrmy strength will lapse on nly 1 next, the anny reverting to its former strength of 25,000. Hence, un less there is affirmative legislation by Congress nt its session beginning in December to maintain the increase in the aimy in whole or in part, tho ex penso will, ou the first dny of July next, bo reduced very largely. There was appropriated for the army for tho present fiscal year $114.000,000. When the army consisted of 25,000 men it re quired only about $20,000,000 a year to support it. If Mr. McKinley is re elected Congress will rightly construe this fact into a demand uy the Ameri can people for a large standing army, and the increase to 100,000 men will be authorized and made permanent. If Mr. Bryan is elected Congress will con clude that the people are opposed to a large army, and no legislation increas ing it wiu be passed, and on July 1, 1001, the regular anny will resume its former proportions and the expenses of I maintaining it will drop down to the ; old estimates, a saving of at least ! $88,000,000 a year being effected. One of th? iuosi autocratic things done even by this autocratic adminis tration has been perpetrated by the Patent Office, where Sec. of thelnte rior Hitchcock has presumed to diso bey the law and cancel all copies of a design patent recently taken out by Wallace Odell of New York through flu, patent offtco of E. G. Siggcrs. This patent is on a puzzle entitled "Teddy's Teeth." which is on tho prin ciple of "Pigs in Clover," the object I being to roll certain balls of silver and gold into hollows in a set of teeth set prominently in a portrait of Gov. Roosevelt. Mr. Duoll thinks that it is an insult to the governor. As tv mat ter of fact, it was patented by tho editor of a Republican paper and a warm friend and supporter of Mr. Roosevelt, by whom it is regarded merely as a joke.
