DE.MOCRACY rs Law.

Bryan performed both a patrio-
tic and a political duty in call
ing attention in one of his late
speeches to the Democratic posi-
ton of the great questions which
are now fretting laborers and caus-
ing needless alarm in some usually
calm minds.
After pointing out that the party
took strong ground in its last ma
tional platform against the too free
and hasty use of the restrain
ing power by the courts, Mr.. Bryan
said: "Those who have suggested
the burning of property and the
destruction of life as a means of
settling labor disputes do not un-
derstand the genius of our institu-
tons. The American people are
law-abiding. When the laws are
bad they change the laws
In this observation the Nebras-
kan gave expression to the conser-
vative force which is a guarantee
of the perpetuity of American in
situations.
The ballot is in the hands of
American citizen above the age of
81 years He can use it to correct
every abuse of power and every
injustice imposed by the strong
upon the weak.
If it be government by injunc-
tion' to which he objects be can
say so at the polls. If enough
people agree that his objection is
we'll founded, the cause of com.
plant will be soon removed. The
party doctrine on their question
was intended to emphasize the
fact that this is a government Of
the people and that they have not
only the right but also the power
to apply the remedy to any wrong
use made of their machine by those
intrusted with its management.
The declaration is only in line
with the contentious and teaching
of democracy from the days Of
Jefferson. There is no anarchy
in democracy. There is nothing
in it's traditions or in its creed
which counsels violence for the
correction of public Or private
wrongs. There is nothing but
equal justice and good order in
democracy, and those who inter
pref it's character in any other way
do not understand the genius of
the party of Jefferson and Jackson.

TIMID TRADERS FAILED TO BREAK
THE STOCK MARKET IN
REALIZING.
A DRIVE AT CHICAGO GAS.
PLAYED ALL In
VAIN.
GOOD GAINS THE GENERAL RULE.
Some of the Active Specialties-
Bonds I'm Demand.

NEW YORK, June 4.-There were room
traders on the stock exchane today who man
ifested occasional timidity as to the stability
OF value at the improvement which has been
sustained now for the greater part of two
weeks. This element took their profits, from
time to time, during the day and their sell
Ing had a slight temporary effect by causing
some recessions in the more susceptible
stocks. But the efforts to realize were ah
sorbed without notable effect on the general
market which remained strong and firm
ana closed at practically the best prices OF
the day, net gains being the rule, which ex-
tended to noteworthy proportions in some of
the specialties. Chicago Gas was the center
of interest in the market, and displayed a
continuance of the strength which it has en-
1oyed for quite a heightened period A deter
mined drive was made against this stock
along towards the close of the market, ap-
parentiy with the purpose of effecting de-
cline In the general market by inducing sales
to realize, as was done yesterday The gas
stock was, in fact, driven down IA per cent
and some losses occurred at the same time in
the general list. But there was no such rush
to realize as marked down prices at the close
yesterday, and Chicago Gas more than re-
covered It's loss, and the market generally
rose to the high point before the close. The
newly reawakened outside interest, made
manifest by the commission house buying,
was the noteworthy sustaining interest in the
market. There was marked demand for
shares from the shorts in some of the stocks
that have been sold heavily of late This
was notably so in New Jersey Central, which
gained points net. Further scrutiny of the
Northwest annual report impaired aggressive
strength to the stock of that company and to
the whole granger group. Northwests net
gain was ~ per cent.
The strength of the bond market continued
unabated and considerable degree of con.
hdence was noted in the dealings LargL
blocks of the leading securities changed
hands, and investment interests took liberal
amounts of the middle and high grade liens.
The aggregate sales were 81, 256, ,000 Govern
ments displayed hardening tendency with
the new As absorbing the bulk of the dealings.
The sales were So, ,000
The total sales of stocks today were 2O5.-
