saloon by the side entrance and found

with three or four men around trying to
| separate them. There were no blows
struck in my presence, so I made no ar
rests. The saloon was closed shortly after
| and was not reopened during my watch"
The report was somewhat unsatisfactory
to the board. the fact being openly COM
mented on that the officer gave no reason
for not arresting tho offenders, although
stating plenty of reasons why they should
have been arrested. Miller seems to have
been influenced in his lenient action by the
circumstance that he saw no blows struck
He apparently did not deem the violation
of the saloon closing ordinance and the
disturbance of the peace as serious enough
offenses to call for the making of arrests
Chief Glass was instructed to notify the
officer to appear before the board and make
an explanation of his conduct in the matter.
Instruction will also be issued to Morris
such patriotic name to appear before the
board and show cause, If he can. why his
license should not be taken away from him.
While this Is the first official complaint
against the place, the residents of the dis
trict In which it is located have known for
some time that it had become rendezvous
for some very gay-looking females, and the
conditions to which this might lead were
discussed with anything but pleasure. The
publicity now given the matter will be
hailed with delight by those who know the
facts.

Ger ]. C. Miller, as submitted TO the police
commissioners at their weekly session yes

for the revocation of his license, and I'M

and breadth Of this Commonwealth
Montague and Sands were called upon

MIR. BRYAN SHOULD RETIRE.

Mr. William J. Bryan continues his
efforts TO keep before the country as the
prospective nominee in 1900 Of the Demo-
cratic party for the presidency. The
speech he made on Friday night at Lin
coin Nebraska, is a distinct bid for a
now nomination Yet, II Mr.. Bryan is
the unseltish patriot that many persons
think him. we cannot doubt that he
would renounce all IDEAS of a new nomi-
nation and leave The Democratic party
to get out Of the terrible mess he got
it into as best it may. The overwhelm-
ing defeat he received in 1896 ought 10
teach him that there is no more posi-
biiity of olecting a President who would
disturb our standard Of value than there
is for a camel to pass through the eye
OF needle. If he could not be elected
then. when the general depression Of the
country made the free silver cause
stronger than it can ever by any posi-
bility be again, how can he expect TO be
elected now when there is such a flood
tide Of prosperity coming on the country
as has never before been known Of in
the history Of the world?
Mr. Bryan led the Democratic party
into ruin and chaos, snd the least he can
do now is TO leave it alone that It's strong
men may endeavor TO drag It out Of the
mud and sit II on its feet again.
What ne said in Lincoln about eNpan-
sion and Imperialism meets with The
Times heartest appreciation and with
the heartiest appreciation of millions OF
the best and most conservative citizens
OF the United States. But emphaticany
as we endorse all he said upon that sub
iect. neither The Times nor millions of
those other conservative citizens will
ever consent to see Mr.. Bryan made
President.
But, 70 make matters as bad ms they
could be. Mr.. Bryan failed TO hold his
peace with regard TO silver when making
his speech. lie declared that the gold
standard had wrought more injustice
in our country in the last twenty-five
years than Spain had wrought in all her
colonies. and thft opposition 10 1t Will
grow until silver free coinage is re
stored Mr.. Bryan cannot turn his eyes
in any direction without seeing evidences
Of the prodigious prosperityAhat the gold
standard. stability and confidence are
bringing the country yet he continues
his platitudes about scarcity
Of money when the money markets are
so glutted with money that # can hardly
be loaned at All. The astounding balance
Of trade in favor of this country, run
ming for the year 1875 TO more than SIX
hundred millions OF dollars, makes no
impression upon Mr.. Bryan. His neigh
bors in Kansas have paid off all the
mortgages on their farms ana are
amongst the most prosperous people on
The earth, but that counts for nothing
with Mr.. Bryan.
