Like n Wet blanket.

The nomination of Bryan falls dead in this
city. Forty-eight hours ago not one-third
of the democratic voters of indianapolis had
ever heard Of William J. Bryan. They did
not know that there was such a person in
the world. Since his nomination many of
them are calling him Bryant. The platform
meets with the approval of few intelligent
democrats. Indeed, there are indications
that a ticket made up of well known demo-
Gratis on a sound-money platform would poll
half of the democratic vote of Indianapolis,
perhaps more. There are men inclined to
free silver who are opposed to the heresies
of Herr Most.

ANOTHER WEED PLAQUES FARMERS.
TumbIing Mustard Now n Rival of the
Russian Thistle,


WASHINGTON, July 14.-American farm
ers may be confronted with the danger of
another troublesome weed, somewhat SINH
lar to the noted Russian thistle in it's de-
structive extent. unless immediate steps are
taken to check the further progress of tum-
bling mustard. Tumbling mustard has been
most obnoxious as a weed in the Canadian
northwest provinces during the past five
years and recently has been reported from
nine different localities in the United States.
It's record in Canada and the rapidity with
which it has already spread theIe have ac-
tuated the Agricultural department to is
sue a special warning for prompt action.
So far the weed has been confined to a
small area in this country. 1t is usually
introduced in baled hay, poorly cleaned
seed, stock cars or sweepings from grain
cars. 1t is especially to be found in timothy
seed. a large proportion Of which is grown
in the Sioux valley of the eastern part of
South Dakota, The weed has not yet in
tested this valley, but the statement is
made that If it should spread in these fields
for two consecutive years it would probably
ruin the timothy seed industry of the en-
tire section. Various methods for complete
eradication are urged in the warning.

BRING THE BAPTISTS no Omaha.

bhfN' fIE bltI SIC ~ IVA
The Baptist Young Peoples union of
America, which begins its session ut
Milwaukee today. should by all means
he induced to locate its 1898 convention
mt Omaha. This organization is one of
the strongest church societies of the
country and has representation in every
part of the country. At its meeting i'll
Baltimore last year there were in at
tendance 10000 members and friends
and at the present Milwaukee meeting
1900. to 1000 visitors are expected.
If the 1898 meeting should be located
here and given the benefit of the great
Transmississippi Exposition as an at
t~ractive force. it would without doubt
draw from $4,000 to 10000 people.
In fixing upon the cites where their
conventions are to be held these organi-
cations should keep in mind not only
the missionary work they will accom-
plish in the community, but also the adj
vantagcS the community has TO offer
them. The Baptist Young Peoples union
cannot well afford TO neglect the edu-
cational opportunities which the Trans
mississippi Exposition will offer. The
invitation to combine the business of
the 1898 meeting with the lesson of
western and enterprise which
the exposition promises deserves more
than ordinary consideration, especially
when it is coupled with assurances of
hospitality and entertainment equal to
those accorded by other cities.

The Natural Outcome.

SIOUX VlTy JOuINHL
Mr.. Bryan's nomination is the natural
act of a body of men which for one long
week has shut out elaboration, and eX-
hibited nothing but a series of emotional
paroXysms. He himself was conspicuous in
some of these. They made him the nominee.
1t would have been impossible to nominate
him in any other kind of a convention. 1t
would have been impossible TO nominate
him in any other democratic convention that
ever sat. 1t would have been impossible
to nominate him if this had been a demo-
cratic convention.

ORR NISH RELATIONS.

The published correspondence between
our government and that of Spain last
wear makes n moderate volume and I'M
show that a very large part of it is
made up of fallaciouS contentious Cd
the part Of the Spanish government
which it would hardly have ventured
to offer for the consideration of any
other of the great powers. 1t is the
duty of one nation to show respectful
consideration to the representations of
another, but it is Il question whether
in this respect our government has not
been Over-Considerate to Spain, with re-
suits not only damaging to the inter
eSts of our citizens in Spanish territory,
but also to the national dignity. There
ia reason to think that the American
people would have more respect in
Spain if our government had been less
tolerant of the proverbial Spanish dis
position to bubble and daily. The time
is coming when the United States will
again call upon Spain to make repara-
ton for injuries suffered by American
citizens in Cuba and it is to be hoped
that we will assert II just demands
with more of tirmness and vigOr than
has beer done hitherto. There is no
reason why we should permit ourselves
to be triied with by n nation whose
