DEMOCRACY OF TO-DAY.
There Is Much Uncertn:aty just Now
as to How the Party Is Con-
stituteu.

Colonel the Honorable William Jen-
nings Bryan declines to be the fusion
candidate for governor of Nebraska.
This determination is wise one, for
defeated candidate for governor would
not be regarded as favorable candi-
date for the presidency, even if he does
incarnate the leading principles of the
democratic party.
Col. Bryan represents more emphat-
ically than any other man the princi-
Piles of the democratic party, and
though it is said by some time-serving
democratic politicians in this state
that the Chicago platform is thing
of the past, it is nevertheless true tina:
every democratic state convention
held thus far-with the exception Of
that of Pennsylvania-has Endorsed
that platform.
New York, which cast 551,369 votes
for the Chicago platform in 1896, is ex-
pected to repudiate that platform in
1898, not because the great body of the
democratic voters are in favor of such
action, but because 1t has been so de-
termined by group of politicians,
some of whom refused to work for the
nominee of their party two years ago.
The democrats of New York will be
the only ones in their party placed in
| that position, and it will remove the
last vestige of authority in democratic
councils that the party in this state
| possesses.
On one side will be registered the de.
cison of every democratic state con.
yention, including even Massachusetts,,
in favor of the Chicago platform. On
the other, New York will stand soli-
tary, thanks to men who have dis
graced that party in various ways.
These men do not represent the de-
mocracy as it is constituted to-day as
does William j. Bryan.
Thus far in the campaign the de-
mocracy has spoken in the states of
Arkansas, Georgia. Illirois. Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan and
Wisconsin, and every one has Endorsed
the Chicago platform, upon which Mr..
Bryan stands. Now, whether he de.
chnes the fusion nomination for gov.
ernor of Nebraska because he fears
defeat, or whether he proposes to
make straight fight for the principles
embodied in that platform. is not
known, nor is it a matter of particular
concern.
But it is known that as democracy is
constituted to-day, judging it from the
declarations made in the platforms
adopted by the state conventions
which have been held, William j. Bryan
is better democrat than the schem.
ing, selfish, calculating leaders in the
state of New York who are resolved
simply to advance their own personal
interests, to repudiate that platform
at the coming state conventions and
stultify their own party and its works

Among the cadets at Annapolis is q
young Japanese, who is receiving in

thority to let the youth jeopardize his
life without his family's consent.

Gland of the sky"

In Western North Carolina, between the
Blue Ridge on the east and the Alleghanies
on the west, in tho beautiful valley of the
French Broad, two thousand feet above the
Sc, lies Asheville, beautiful, picturesque and
world. famed as one of the most pleasant re-
sorts in America. 1t is land of bright skies
and Incompatible climate, whose praises have
been sung by poets, and whose beauties of
stream, valley and mountain height have fur
er's brush. This IS truly the "Land Of the
Sky" and there is, perhaps, no more beauti-
full region on the continent to attract pleas
ure tourists or health seekers. Convenient
schedules and very low rates to Asheville
via Southern Railway.

The lot of the young soldier who has
been shot but is well enough to be sent
Lorth for treatment is not altogether
unhappy. In Brooklyn, we are in
formed, where many wounded heroes
now have all the comforts of home,
scores of pretty maidens are begging
to be allowed to "just stroke aching
heads and battle fevered brows." They
overflow the corridors of the hospitals
and importune every one, but to all
the pleading is turned a deaf ear.
The corps of trained nurses is quite
sufficient for the demand. But even
the arraying of the trained against
the unframed has not dampened the
patriotic fervor of the applicants, and
e truce has been agreed upon whereby
the eager maidens are to be allowed
to read to the soldiers and write their
letters for them. War has its sunshine
as well as it's shadows.

.Ina.inn m the Enemy

In this time of national exulting,
justly suggests the Hartford Comm
Courant, let us net fail to do Justice
to the stubborn courage of the en-
envy. Fighting and downing cow
ard is poor business at best. There's
small satisfaction in it and no glory
at all. We are not in any enterprise
of that sort at present. Whatever
else they may be, the Spanish officers
and men are not cowardly. Whatever
other qualities that go to the planning
and winning of fight they may lack.
they are not lacking in the primitive
quality of courage. Santiago de Cuba
has demonstrated that anew. They have
lived up to the character given them
by history as stubborn fighters behind
entertainments, and they have done
more. They have shown themselves,
il at least one instance, fierce and per-
sistent in attack. If an equal force
of ill-fed Americans, so formidably be-
set, with SO little hope of ultimate
victory or escape, had fought as OBJ
stinately we'd have been proud of
them. Gen. Linares, personally direct
ing operations at the front and under
fire until he drops from his horse with
a bullet through him, is as brave and
soldierly a figure as one of our own
fighting generals.

All the sailors on the United States

Tough they fight like it. The auxil-

Gerald O'Grady, rough rider,

knocked him silly" Our boys know

Lucky Dogs.

New York doggies are enjoying
themselves at the various summer re-
sorts. Yes, it is very questionable
King Charles who remains in the city
during these dog days." says the Her
aid. In former times, when my lady
went for her summer outing. she left
her pet at home, under the care of a
servant. But no matter how careful
the attention or how trusted the keep
er, there was continual worrying
and fretting regarding the welfare of
the absent pet, and frequently the
summer outing was shortened so that
my lady might get back to homeland
doggie. Now an idea has come, which
enables her not only to have her lit
tie favorite with her, but allows her to
develop her hobby, unrestrained by
masculine protestations and criti-
cisms. Strange to relate, the hotel
people are encouraging the fad OF dogs

ENGLAND DEMANDS EQUAL RIGHTS
A STATEMENT THAT THE GOVERNMENT
WILL ENFORCE THE MOST FAVORED
NATIONS CLAUSE IN CHINA


Manchester. England. Jan. 3.-"The Manches-

The Government has categorically stated that
Great Britain will refuse to recognize any spe-
Cisl rights granted at any Chinese port any
particular Power. Any port opened to one

II Russia has been granted the right to winter

does not concede the right
II Germany obtains naval station at KiaO-
Chau. Great Britain insists upon having a lease
Of ground for a naval station at the same port
and she will support every other Power making
the same claim
The contention Of the Government Is that the
most favored nations clause In the British and
all other treaties with China forbids any spe-
cial concessions OF the nature contemplated by
Germany at KiaOChau. and prevents nations
from acquiring special benefits In which the
others have not a share
The Government has also declared that the
same principle applies to such transactions as
railway and mine monopolies. Taking the stand
the treaties. Great Britain refuses 10 acknowl-
edge such concessions, and will insist upon
similar railway and mine rights and Will use
such force to secure or defend them as may be
necessary.
This declaration does not apply to cessions OF
territory 20 which the existing treaties do not
refer; but, relative to this contingency, the dis
patch Of Great Britain to China observes that,
when 1t occurs, graVer questions Will arise. The
Government Will then consider the manner IT.
which British interests can best be safeguarded
and the form which the compensation to Great
Britain for the special advantages OF other
nations must take
1t Is reported that similar declaration has
been delivered TO the Chinese and other Govern
ments by Japan
