These Are the Questions.

From the Providence Journal.-The
pressing question is the protection of
the currency. How shall the gold re-
serve be maintained, II We are going
to try to continue it? What shall be
done with the legal tender paper?
How can we best secure for ourselves
a safe and satisfactory monetary sys-
TEN, in place of the want of system we
now have and in accordance with the
verdict of the people expressed at the
polls this month? These are the ques-
tions the Republicans should be now
discussing and planning to deal with,
instead of mumbling the old tariff
shibboleths in the ears of an unsym-
pathetic people.

Bryan the Leader.

From the Twentieth Century: 1t
would be hard for us who believe in
William ]. Bryan and the cause he
represents to regard him as other than
leader. He has found a place in the
hearts Of those who labor for the up-
building of humanity which will not
soon become vacant. Even now, when
disappointed and detected by the result
of the election, his words fill us with
hope when he says "the fight has just
commenced" Indeed, whatever his
enemies have said heretofore, they
must now admit that he is great even
in defeat. 1t is no small comfort to us
to have leader of whom we are proud,
and we should pay him the compliment
Of following his example of accepting
defeat gracefully and join with him in
the work Of reform so nobly begun. To
falter now because defeated in the first
battle would be cowardly, and would
indicate lack of conviction in the
principles which we have hitherto con-
sidered so necessary for the prosperity
of our country. We have faith enough
in Mr.. Bryan to say where thou lead
We follow" and, therefore, the Twen-
tieth Century will in the future, as in
the past, be found in the front rank
seeking to uplift and battling for tho
rights Of humanity.

A Convincing Letter.

From the Star, Marion, S. c.. Bry'
ans letter to the bimetallists Of Amer
lea is characteristic of the man, broad
and liberal in it's tone, yet firm in its
declarations Of right. 1t will conVincS
the people that this brilliant young
advocate of a righteous cause can
gather strength from disaster. Defeat
will strengthen the cause of silver and
make possible a democratic congress
and senate in 1900. With this in view
the leaders will continue the fight and
keep before the people the principles
for which they contended so nobly IL

The New Woman peHnsd.

That was an interesting competition
for the best definition of the new

other suggestions we're: six of one
and half dozen of the other" zone

A Renedlct Arnold to tho pennle.

From the Dakota Ruralist.-We had
hoped that we would never have to
refer again to that contemplate trail
tor, N. A. Dunning, partner of G. w.
McCune in the National Economist
sell out. Another election come around
and again he appears as sleuth hound
of Mark Hanna advising Popullsts to
vote for Mckinley to help Tom Wat
son. Not only that, but also claiming
to be the friend of Tom Watson tried
to purchase the Nonconformist for
the election, or at least for three issues
preceding the election. To forestall
and prevent this Mrs. Lola Vincent,
noble wife of Prof. Vincent pur-
chased the Nonconformist and held
it in line for the peoples cause. She
was offered more than she paid for 1t
for the lease of it for three issues, but
steadfastly refused and Dunning,
Hanna & Co. were foiled.

United States at that lime the gold
standard could not have existed, to
embarrass the world, for, though Eng
land was by her law gold standard
country, she was under the bimetallic
law, and her merchants received silver
freely, at the French ratio 154s to l..
If an earnest effort be made to force an
international agreement by the incom-
ing administration either by diserlnat-
ing duties against gold standard coun-
tries, or by declaration that we shall
act alone in case Of failure to secure
concert Of action there can be no rea-
son to doubt its success.
Our vast economic and industrial
powers would secure the advantage Of
the Oriental and Central American
trade, freed from the embarrassments
incidental to fluctuating exchange.
This Is the lever that would compel
European action, as has been shown
time and again by able writer's and
thinkers abroad.
We believe that this Is we'll under
stood abroad. Knowing our power,
they strenuOusly oppose our action.
This ought to be apparent.
The so-called decline in silver is but
the rise in gold. Its rehabilitation would
simply add to the stock of metallic
money Of the world the annual pro-
duct of the mines less the large amount
diverted in the arts from monetary
use.

Proud of the Principles and Leader.

BrOu0 OF Gne frlnclpleS ana LeaueF'
From the Herald, Oregon City, Greg.
We have fought manfully; we may
have lost. We are proud of our prin-
ciples; we hail with admiration our
possibly defeated but undaunted chief,
William ]. Bryan. He is a hero in
defeat and his name shall be sung by
the common people of future genera
tions. His picture-a pleasant, manly
face-still adorns many a patriots
humble home. No greater, grander,
truer patriot ever espoused the cause
of the great common people. His name
and noble deeds shall yet become
treasures in American history. Be 1t
deferred victory or hard-earned defeat,
we hail our chief and are justly proud
of his valiant fight. Hurrah for
William Jennings Bryan!

The Informal Prayer of Cyrus Brown.
1.-THE proper way for a man to pray"
Said Deacon Lemuel Keyes,
"And the only proper attitude
Is down upon his knees"
mo, 1 should say the way to pray"
Said Rev. DR.. Wise,
rs standing straight with outstretched
arms
And rapt and upturned eyes,"
"Oh, no; no, no" said Elder Slow,
Such posture is too proud;
A man should pray with eyes fast
closed
And head contritely bowed"
1t seems to me his hands should be
Austerely clasped in front,
With both thumbs pointing toward the
ground"
Said Rev. DR.. Blunt.
