BPYAN'S MISREPRESENTATION.

II is rather the fashion in these days 10 say
that a spade must not be called spadc-that
would be harsh and impolitc Mr.. Bryan and
his friends men say. are surely honest and sin
cere. and it is therefore most discOurteOus 10
call them regulators and Anarchists
Mr. Bryans speech tells whether he is sin
ccre. He knew that his platform had been de-
nOunccd as that of Anarchists. He knew well
that IL was so denounced because Of the decara-
tion against interference Of courts or Of the Ma
tlonal Government TO protect the rights Of indi-
vidual wOrkngmcn and TO prevent riot and
revolution in State 1t is a real revelation that
Mr. Bryan said not a single word about these
declaratOns-ignOred them If they were not
part OF the platform which he accepted but ut
tered this peculiar sentence about the statement
regarding the income tax: our critics even go
80 far as 20 apply the name Anarchists 10 those
who stand upon that plank OF the platform"
Is II conceivable that this Is an honest mistake?
Let no one think this light matter. OF
all the statements of the Democratic platform,
the most dangerous 10 social order and civilized
government were those introduced by the par
doner of Anarchists for the express purpose OF
condemnlng United States courts and PreSideuf

SHALL MINTs OR MILLS BE OPENED?

The Popocrats dwell much upon the hard
times as an excuse for asking the country 10
make an experiment. They say to the voter:
you're hard up, anyhow. and you might as
"well risk this. You can't be much worse OH
"if it does go wrong This Is the KIND OF an
experiment they ask him TO make:
1--WE demand the free and unlimited COIN
age Of both silver and gold at the present
legal ratio of 10 to I. without waiting for
the aid or consent IF any other nation"
The Republicans also see the distress that has
come to the people, and their idea of the rem
edy, as expressed by Major Mckinley, is this:
cit Is n good deal better to open up the
mills of the United states to the lnbOr OF
Americans than to open up the minis OF the
United states to the silver of the world"
1t is for American wOrkmen to judge whether
they want fifty-three-ccnt dollars for the work
that they do now, or One-hundred-cent dollars
for the work they might do il our mills started
up again.

who may choose to work where the mob says he

employer who does not employ the men whom
the mob says he shall employ. 1t Is not possible
to believe that Mr. Bryan was ignorant or for
gctful of this deliberate appeal TO the most dan
gerous and revolutionary tendencies. Yet he al
soutcly ignored it, and being compelled to make
some sort Of reference to the charge that inc

Court" about the income tax.
The man who does not try to know the truth,
and does not want TO be honest. Is one Win
whom it is useless to reason. The only proper
thing to do with hypocrics is to tell the word
that they are hypocres. Mr. Bryan stamps
himself in many of his statements about the Sill
yer question as a man radically dishonest, but
in none more plainly than in this singular mis-
representation of the charge that his PLATFORM
is that of Anarchy He knows exactly what
base appeal TO the passions and preiudces OF the
lawless is thus properly characterized, ana ne
dishonesty ignores the real and just accusation,
and pretends that the charge refers to something
else. which is, indeed, most censurable, but
which is not Anarchisic in nature.

While there is no doubt that Ii Hung Chang
is one of the most conspicuous figures IN the
Chinese Empire, and a statesman OF wellde-
served celebrity. yet so much doubt prevails as
to the precise degree 10 which he is authorized
to represent his Government that the utmost
caution and discretion should be observed by
the United States authorities in organizing the
official features of his welcome to these shores.
The dispatches from London which we publish
to-day tend to strengthen previous rum0rs TO the
effect that the Monaghan counterpart of Prince
Bismarck has no power to speak IN the name OF
his Court and of his Government and that since
leaving Moscow, where he attended the corona
ton festivities on behalf Of his sovereign. his
progress homeward has been merely that or
private individual In that case the elaborate
programme devised for his State reception here
would be excessive nor conld ii be regarded as
in keeping with the dignity of the United States
for its President to come to New-lork in person
TO greet the distinguished visitor with Official
honors superior even TO those which twenty
years ago we accorded TO a reisning Emperor
such as Dom Pedro Of Brazil.

Mr. Bryan says railroad rates have not been re-
duced TO keep pace with falling prices. In 1872 1t
cost $50 cents TO take bushel Of wheat from
Chicago to the seaboard by rail. and in 1895 it
cost 12.17 cents. Even Mr.. Bryan will not assert
that average prices are less than half and only a
little more third OF what they were in 1872.

outlook as far as the unfOi unate Cretans are
concerned. According 10 the dispatches from

autonomy 10 the island than it has enjoyed in
the past This, indeed. appears 10 be the only
method of settlement which is not fraught with

He Had Dun Told 'Em.

AS 1 was talking with an old colored
blacksmith in front of his cabin at
Chickamauga a couple Of small boys
drove up with a mule and cart and
began to dump out at the blacksmith
shop lot of stuff picked up on the
battlefield. There were bullets, buck
les, stirrups, belt plates, musket bar.
rels, rusty swords and bayonets, and
in the lot was loaded shell which
had been fred from heavy feldpiecc.
When the old man saw the shell, he
said
"You git out wid dat yerc foolish,
ness! Didn't 1 dun tole you not to
bring any mo of EN- here p
One of the boys threw the shell
aside, and then the old man went with
me down the road to poirt out some
sights of interest. We were gone
about half an hour, and were within
100 feet of the shop, when there was
a loud explosion. A great hole was
blown out of one side, and part OF
the roof was bulged up, and the two
boys came stumbling out through the
smoke and ran against us. The old
man grabbed one by the arm and
whirled him around and demanded:
"Didn't I dun tole yc to let dat
foolishness alone ?"
"She's sploded II gasped the boy.
"In co'se she 'sploded, an now LIE
gwine to splode you y
And he drew him to shade tree,
broke off limb and tanned his jacket
till the boy yelled murder: Then We
entered the shop and found it almost
a wreck. The boys had placed the
she'll on an anvil and struck it with
the sledge, and the anvil had been
blown ten feet away. Miraculous at
it may seem, neither boy was injured
in the slightest.
"Sich trihin can't be aboard,

around for his scattered tools. "Didn't
