that while the people Of this state are

say that there has been some genuine
calamity and some real stagnation Of
business to make the interest more
acute. Kansas will not be likely to
trust the welfare of the nation to the
Democrats again so far as she can pre-
vent it. The PopuliSt state nominees
are not satisfactory TO the rank and
file Of the Democrats in the state apart
from the question whether or not they
favor Bryan. And there Is not any

RRYAN,S RECKLESSNESS.

The friends of Bryan, with the zeal
Oe oyer-estimation common among par
tisans for their candidate, claim for
him great versatility. The fact is,
Bryan. as his friendly biOgrapher In
The Review of Reviews has well said,
is a reader of books rather than a stu
dent of them. His knowledge is wider
than his wisdom. His cleverness does
not conceal his shallowness. He says
extrayagant things. In the heat OF an
orators passion, he says that which he
knows to be unreasonable or false. lie
quotes with a recklessneSs that makes
it unsafe to rely upon what he says.
One example may serve to illustrate.
In his Chicago speech he praises Jack
son in his work of destroying the Bank
of the United States, a bank OF issue.
Later he quotes approvingly a speech
of Clay made in defense of the bank.
Jackson believed the bank unconsutu-
tional and waged war to its deStruc-
ton. Clay defended the bank as con-
stitutional and as necessary to furnish
the necessary amount of circulating
medium. Jackson's war was relentless
and successful. Bryan says Jackson
opposed it because a bank of issue
This is a mere assumption. Jackson
opposed the bank principally as he
said because it was q monopoly, would
increase the distinction between the
rich and poor" and that it was uncon-
stitutional and miSmanaged. Clay S
defense was sweeping. He denied
every charge of the Jackson program.
He reversed his position of years be-
fore as to the constitutionality of the
bank. During MadisOn's adminlStra-
ton Clay had argued that the bank
was unconstitutional. In Jackson
administration he took a strong posi-
ton for the constitutionality of the
bank Clay was sharply criticized by
the Jackson men in the senate as be
ing the paid attorney of the bank, of
the money power. He repealed this,
and made the retort that the war on the
bank was for contraction of the cur
rency and the consequent paralysis of
business.
1t is from this idea that Bryan quotes
Clay. Here it seems that Bryan is in
the peculiar attitude of approving Jack
son and indorsing Clay's speeches
made in condemnation of Jackson. On
one of these occasions he turned TO
Van Buren,, then presiding in the SEN
ate, and said: Tell him Dackson)
that in single city more than sixty
bankruptcies, involving loss of up
ward of fifteen millions of dollars, have
occurred. Tell him of the alarming
decline in the value Of all property.
Tell him of the tears of helpless
widows, no longer able to earn their
bread. and of unclad and unfed
orphans who have been driven by his
policy out of the busy pursuits in which
but yesterday they were gaining an
honest livelihood"
This serves TO show Bryan's reck-
less use Of history. Jackson and Clay
were as irreconcilable as Bryan and
Cleveland now are. What a spectacle

aspirant quoting Cleveland and Bryan

CELESTIAL GALL.

Lee Yue Chez is the name of Celes-
tial diplomat who has been talking
politics-talking upon the silver ques-
ton of course. He has kick a-com-
ing on the law restricting Chinese i'm
migration and thinks Chinaman as
good as a Dago, a Jap or an 1rishman,
in fact any foreigner. Why not? He
has lived here three years and he has
studied thoroughly the paramount IS
sues and has no hesitancy in saying
he is a Bryan man." Then he adds:

dorse, but the principle he represents.
