Brief Comment,

Bryan is still keeping up his fight on the
Cleveland wing of his party. He attack
ed them viciously in his Jefferson's birth
day speech. He knows that the contin-
uafion of this war between the factions
of his party is the life of his personal no.
toriety, and is willing to sacrifice party
to self every time.
Great minds will differ. Mr.. Bryan as
sumed IN his utterances regarding the re-
cent elections that his cause and himself
have been vindicated On the other hand,
that sterling Democratic paper, the Ma
con, Ca, Telegraph, which expresses the
sentiment of the genuine Southern Dem
ocracy, says: "The Democratic success of
Monday shows unmstakably that Bryan
ism and Altgeldism are done for in this
country"
One of the highest recommendat tons
that the Dingley, bill has had thus far
and it has been highly commended from
various sections-is the fact that repre-
sentatives of various foreign governments
are entering protests against it.. The OBJ
ject of a protective tariff is to take care
of American citizens, and when represent
atives of other parts of the world begin
to complain about it it is safe to assume
that the purpose of the bill is being ac-
compiished.
Twenty per cent of gain in twenty
weeks is pretty good record for any po-
litical party to make in work. This is
the gain which the Rhode Island Republi-
cans made in the recent State election
| over the vote for Mckinley in 1896. This
is the only spring election in which ma
tonal politics have cut any figure, the
elections in the cities having hinged upon
purely local issues which had nothing to
do with the growth or otherwise of Repub-.
lIcan or Democratic sentiment from a ma
tional standpoint.
The newspapers of the country are at
| tacking the Populists because they refuse
to vote for or against the tariff bill and
saying that they show political cowardice
by their course IN this matter. The fact
is that the Populists recognize the over
whelming sentiment of the country in ia
vor of protection and yet do not dare to
go back upon their old alliance with the
Democrats, to whom they still look for
some crumbs of office, should that party
ever again be successful.
The Popocrats are scared. There is
rebellion in the Democratic party against
further continuance of the alliance be-
tween silver Democrats and Populists,
and members of both these organizations
| are wild with alarm. Mr.. Bryan's organ,
the Omaha World-Herald, is frantically
appealing to the old members of the po-
| litical job lot which failed in business last
November to still hang together. 1t says:
''1t would be worse than folly at this time
for the Populists to refuse to fuse with
| the Democrats and silver Republicans"
| and adds that continued combination pf
their FORCES "means a solid 1phalanx of
silver forces in all campaigns from now
| till 19Oo." ,~--- .-s -.

No Dahauch. This.

President Mckinley has just returned
from a short trip for recreation down the
Potomac. 1t is mentioned that in taking
his wife and two other ladies along he
differed from the practice of President
Cleveland upon such occasions, who was
rather conyivial in his tastes, and more
of Bohemian in his habits. In manners
and morals, as well as in breadth OF
craftsmanship our present national execu-
tive is an improvement upon the one who
preceded him, although as a fisherman
and duck hunter he may not be up to the
standard. Louisville Commercial.

ists their CHANCE nf success is ahsolutelY

lists their chance of success is absolutely
gone and are terrified that the partnership
is to come to an end. Mr.. Bryan's spe-
cial organ, the Omaha World-Herald,
sounds the note of alarm in a recent edi-
torial in which it urges the continuance
of the fusion between Democrats. silver
Republicans and Populists, saying:@"Get
together. That is good advice to the Pop
ulists, silver Republicans and Democrats.
1t means the selection of silver man to
the United States Senate at the next
session of the Legislature; it means a
solid phalany of silver followers in all
campaigns from now till 1900. 1t would
be worse than folly for the Populists to
refuse to fuse with the silver Republic
cans and Democrats at this time and the
disastrous results would extend consid-
erably further than the local campaign .

Heavy Weight CIothine.

A suit of clothes weighing forty pounds
would be a. novelty. Yet it is apparently
the sort of, suit which Prof. Wilson con
templates for the average American. indi-
vidual. He argues, in his newspaper ar
ticles at SO much per column for the New
York Herald. that the tariff placed on
wool by the Dingley bill will add at least
20 per cent to the cost of a suit of clothes.
Since an increase of 20 per cent in the
price of a suit of clothes means an in
crease of probably $5 in it's cost. and the
proposed duty on wool is II cents per
pound. Mr. Wilson must calculate that
forty pounds of wool would be used in the
manufacture of a suit of clothes. This
is fair sample of the misleading and abb
surd propositions upon which the free
traders build their theories and sometimes
get into Office

Dreary Imbecility.

"The Democratic criticisms of the new
tariff" says the Inter Ocean, "are drear-
ily imbecile." The language is strong, but
what else can be said of criticisms that
are essentially imbecile in argument and
most vapidly dreary in language. NO
other phrase can so accurately present the
exact nature of the. attacks which the
free trade orators and organs are now
making upon the bill which is designed TO
provide protection for our industries ana

Boodling Alderman.

MNNEAPoLls, March 15.-The trial
of Ex-City Clerk Charles F. Haney for
offering a bride of 5000 to Alderman
f. G. Ore ", came to a sudden termi-
nation this morning, the court direct
Ing a verdict Of acquittal.
Alderman Drew, whose testimony
was depended on for conviction, re-
fused on the stand to connect Haney
with the matter at all. He admitted
finding in a book an envelope contain
ing $500 addressed to him. He used
the money. He professed ignorance
as to who sent it, or why it was sent.
Before the grand jury Drew swore
he had been given $500 by Haney for
a vote on paying contracts.
Judge Smith scored Alderman Drew
severely. He ordered the alderman
held in $1,000 bonds, to answer to a
charge of perjury or larcency before
the next grand jury.

Extra Watch on Butler.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 15.-The
police authorities have placed an
extra watch on Murderer Butler to
prevent him taking his own life.
Butler sent for a newspaper mar who
had befriended him and appealed for
aid in procuring six grains of NOR
phine. Butler is reported tohave said;
The jig is up. They have got me,
and will take me back to Australia.
l know what will be done with me
there, and / do not propose to co.
His confidanate, instead of aiding
him to cheat the gallows, promptly
reported Buffers request to the Chief
of Police.
Preliminary steps for an appeal In
behalf of Ashe or Butler from the de-
cision of Judge Morrow in the habeas
corpus case were taken by his attor-
neys. No appeal al be taken to the
supreme court in such cases unless
the Judge denying the writ certifes
that the construction Of the coustitu-
tion or a treaty %is'lnvolved. The neces
sary papers setting out the record of
the case and the question of jurisdic-
tion raised were presented to Judge
Morrow for his certifcation. If he
finds that the necessary questions on
which to base an appeal are involved,
the papers will be filed and an appeal
be taken. In that case Ashes attor-
ney say they will sue out a writ of
error and take the case to the circuit
court of appeals.

GREECE
Europe Does Not Fear War.
Sole Aim of Greeks Is Shown to Be
Annexation of Crete,

LONDON, March 15.-(Copyright,
1897, by Associated Press THE Gre
tan question is still absorbing the at
tention of Europe, and the newspa-
pers here are full of speculation from
all the capitals as to the next move of
the powers. All kinds of So called
s%emi-oficial statements are afloat,a and
many of them are undoubtedly
launched by the various governments
in order to test the drift of popular
and ministerial feeling in the matter.
An idea, however, is gaining ground
that there will be no war, and that
Greece must climb down.
An indication Of this is shown in
the statement of NJ. Zamai, president
of the Greek chamber, telegraphed
here, in which he says he is person
ally disposed to accept the proposal for
autonomy for the island of Crete, as a
step toward it's annexation to Greece.
The fact is that in Europe, even
among the people who supported the
Greeks when they thought their object
was the freedom of the Cretans, SYM
pathy is now firing, and it is seen
that the sole aim Of the Greeks is
annexation.
The news of Commodore Reinock's
perfidy in not communicating to the
insurgents the remonstrances and de-
mand Of the powers, as well as their
proposition to grant autonomy to the
island, has been a severe blow to the
cause of Greece, while a letter from
W. j. Stillman formerly United
States consul at Canea, to the Times
throws further unpleasant light upon
the Greek methods. Mr.. Stillman
a Y that at the end Of the long revolt
of lS68.69, the Cretans obtained con
cessions which afforded most complete
satisfaction. Mr.. Stillman, as United
States consul at Canea, was the inter,
mediary between the insurgents and
the grand vizier.
At that moment the Greek govern
ment stopped the supply Of food and
powder, which largely came from the
foreign Cretan committees, and sent
to Crete a band of volunteers con-
manded by Chief Petrorofuliskls, a
friend of the then Turkish prime
minister. This chief, unopposed by
the Turks, took command of all the
i~nsurgent forces, and without firing a
shot, yielded the island to the Turks,
not even STIMULATING that amnesty
should be granted to the chiefs, and
the revolt was suppressed in the mo
ment of it's triumph by its Atheniar
friends. Mr.. Stillman adds that he
can give all the details of this in
famous transaction from personal par
ticipatiSn.
