MR.. BRYAN'S LATEST.
What the Republicans Have Promised
ThSy Surely Will Do.

They Surely Will Do.
Mr. Bryan might profitably realize
that he has no longer tho excuse for
Justification which, to some charitable
minds, the excitement of presidential
campaign may have given him. His as
sertion that Republican success has not
caused the prosperity which was prom
ised has III it essential nntruth, for pros
perity is "a relative term, and no one
can deny that the country is far more
prosperous than when there was sup
posed TO be chance of his election
More manufacturing establishments by
at least 500 are at work, the number of
hands employed has increased about
500, 600, the wages of labor have in
many cases been advanced, there is no
longer any boarding of gold, nor are
rates for money as high as in other
countries, and there is ample capital for
those who can offer fair prospect of sue
cess i'll investment Actual production
has increased about 30 per cent in the
iron and steel manufacture, and largely
in other great industries, and the prices
Of many manufactured products are
more fairly remunerative. All these are
definite changes for the BETTER and to
gether do not merely promise but actu-
ally bring q measure of prosperity which
would have seemed bliss too great for
reasonable expectation to men in the
depths last August. Failures are numer-
Gus, as they always are toward the end
Of troubled year, and as they usually
are not in August, and yet neither In
number nor i'll amount of defaulted liza
bilities do they ut oil compare with
those Of last August.
These being facts Of everyday record,
what excuse has Mr.. Bryan to give for
his misrepresentation? Only this--tbat
the full measure of improvement which
Republicans promised to bring about
when restored to power has not come
before their restoration TO power. Not
one sane man believed they could bring
about all the effects of a change in ma
tional policy before any part of that
change could be effected The pretense
that Republican assurances meant any
such thing is simply dishonest. 1t was
and is claimed by Republicans that
when the country can be restored to
wise and sound national policy the pros
perity which has always resulted from
that policy will result again. Mr.. Bry-
an is not baby to be ignorant of this.
The truth is that he is not ignorant of
it.-New York Tribune.

Costly Fire at Chicago.

Chicago, March 13.-Fire broke out
last evening in the building occupied by
John A. Tolman & Co., wholesale gro
GERS, corner of Michigan avenue and
Lake streets. Driven by a strong north
west wind the flames quickly spread to
the upper stories of buildings at 10, II
and IA Lake street, occupied by Chase &
Sanborns coffee and spice house. The
adjoining buildings also caught fire sew
eral times from flying sparks, but were
not seriously damaged. After three
hours hard work the fire was gotten un-
der control. The Tolman company stock
was valued at 100000 and is probably
a complete loss. Chase & Sanborn's loss
will not be heavy. Both were fully in

WILL RESIST TO THE DEATH.
Orders Given the Greek Cruisers in Cretan
Waters-Warlike Situation.

Waters--W ariike Situation.
London, March 13-The CORRESPONDENT
of The Times at Canea says: The COM
manders of the Greek cruisers Alphios
and Pinlos are still in Cretan waters,
and in most difficult position. Their
express orders are only to retire from
Canea bay under protest, but on no ac-
count to leave Cretan waters. They are
ordered to resist to the death any at
tack upon them, for the honor o. the
Greek flag and the nation which reposes
confidence i'm the sons of heroes" This
latter allusion refers to the fact that the
Greek commanders are descendants of
the Greek chiefs Kondourlotis and
Miaulis.
The cruisers are hourly expected to be
fired upon. They are not allowed to re-
victual their crews. The men are living
on biscuits and beans and the officers
have not slept for three nights Every
man has written letter of farewell to
his relatives. 1t is probable that the
Alphios will take the risk of visit to
another port for the purpose of revictu-
alling.
Rome. March LIT is officially an
nounced here that the rtsult of the pour
parlers of the pow ers Saturday is a
definite agreement not to reply to the
Greek note, but to issue orders to the
foreign admirals to establish an i'm
mediate blockade of Cretan ports, which
will probably be in full operation today.
This agreement is somewhat in the ma
ture of a concession to Russia and
France Russia during the middle of
last week proposed. with France Sec
onding the proposal, another joint note
to Greece insisting on the withdrawal
Of the troops. instead Of an immediate
resort Of the powers to force.
London, March 16. - The Daily
Chronicle says that the ultimatum to
precede the blockade will take the
humiliating form of peremptory sum-
mons from the admirals to the Greek
authorities. NJ Averoff, the wealthy
Greek of Alexandria who contributed
100000 drachmas toward the expense
of the restoration of the the Stadion,
has offered to provide the Greek gov
eminent with 10000 uniforms. The
Greeks Of Marseilles have sent 10000
pounds sterling as a contribution to the
emergency war fund

1t should Never appear In the Form of
Jnsympathetic Opposition.
The mos effective way 10 strengthen
a man or child in a wrong course is
to manifest an unsympathetic opposi-
ton. Something in human nature
leads most Of as, in such circumstances,
to desire to have our own way We
say most Of us" because we ought
never to forget that there are certain
ideally constituted persons who, when
they are told what they ought to do,
straightway go and do 1t. But parents
commonly find that in dealing with
average children a hard exercise of
authority is not usually the most effec-
tive to lead them to choose the best
courses. And those who seek to it
fuence and lead men discover that to
lay down the law too vigorously is not
always the wisest way Of getting men
to do what they desire. 1T is not the
mere fact Of opposition that fixes men
in their determination not TO be guild
ed by others" SAYS the Watchman.
1t IS unsympathetic opposition. If
You can once convince man or child
taat your opposition is not prompted
by disregard of his opinions, or by
pride of authority, YOU have gone far
toward winning him to your view.
