all his work since he came into conspicuous

me newspaper revolt against the Bryan
ticket has already assumed formidable pro-
portions. Every paper in New York City
mas declared against it. The same thing is
practically true of the Chicago press. Even
IN the south, where the silver sentiment
was supposed to be especially strong, such
old and representative papers as the Balti-
more sun and News, the Charleston News
ana Courier, the Chattanooga Times. the
Nashville Banner, the Louisville Courier

Chicago ticket. The Detroit Free Press has

Populism. Not Democracy.

The platform adopted by the Chicago con-
vention is such a declaration of purposes
and principles as no consistent democrat
and no lover of the country can conscien-
tiously approve NO man fit to be president
or vice president of the United States could
IN honor stand upon it; and it is therefore
quite unnecessary to consider what manner
OF persons have been presented for the suf-
TRACES of the people. Because the Record
mas been a firm supporter of democratic
principles 1t repudiates, condemns and spits
upon this communistic. populistic deliver
ance. The worst misfortune that could now
befall the democratic party would be the
election of a president and a congress
pledged to carry into effect the aims of this
revolutionary, socialistic scheme of political
action.

When they reached Logan the lone
operator had over 100 special messages
to Omaha, and was working rapidly
to get them off. The officials told him
to devote his time to railroad business.

policy entailed upon interested people

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.

Increasing militarism.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
II appears incredible that many Of the
leading men OF this country look with
envy upon the vast appropriations that
militarlsm renders necessary Ia Europs,
aud wish to bring the United States to
the same condition. The continental
system demands very high taxes. which
are peculiarly agreeable to many Of our
citizens, owing to their partnership with
the government In the exercise OF the
taxing power. Then the creation of an
immense navy and great ornaments
involves contracts running into hundreds
OF millions Of dollars The increase OF
the army and navy would make fat
places for thousands of those who wish
to live at the expense Of the govern.
ment. To these we may add the love OF
glorious strife which chsracteriz 8 q good
many, and makes them ready TO 20 TO
war with anybody on any pretext,
and, therefore. causes them to favor
liberal expenditures for preparation
All these classes would like to see the
United States with as large an army
and With AS great q navy as any other
country. The recent war scares have
contributed to intensity the feeling.
They have been cleverly manipulated for
thst purpose by the parties interested
and propositions are pending to spend
a hundred millions or 80 for coast de
fences and bsttleships These plans are
the more dangerous because 1t is diff
cult to deny that we need more big guns
and more vessels. Bat a moderate
addition TO our military and naval
resources. concerning the need OF which
there 10 no great disagreement, Is a
different matter from putting the coun
try on footing Of militarism similsr to
that which exists In Europe. We could
not In 4 generation make our navy equal
to that OF Great Britain, aud 1t Is not
necessary to do so. Nor do we need a
great standing army to protect us from
attacks that nobody meditstes But II
the country enters upon an era of
militarism the people should understand
that 1t means vast addition to tbs
burdens Of taxation, a lowering OF the
standard Of living for the masses of our
population, and a gradual approach to
che conditions that prevail on the con-
tinent Of Europe
