NO NAME BUT BRYANS.

The fact that no name is considered
as the Democratic leader in 1900 but
William Jennings Bryan is but one more
illustration that in the Nebraskan's S
career history is merely repeating itself.
When Jefferson failed of the Presi-
deney one hundred years ago in his
first race, the party turned to him just
as it turns to Bryan to-day. There
was an element then that sided with the
Federalists because they thought Jeffer-
son too extreme, just as few men
quit the Democratic party in 1896, al
leging that Bryan's programme was too
radical When Jefferson was candidate
again, these men either came back to the
party and worked in the ranks or went
over bodily to the Federalists.
Andrew Jackson was defeated in his
first race for the Presidency. He had
disobeyed orders in Florida, and was
heralded as an erratic, radical, unsafe
man. Four years later, upon tidal
wave, Jackson was elected, and the
.party's domination was complete.
Bryan, the third in the line of Demo-
cratic apostles, was deemed by some too
young and too radical in 1896. Those of
them who are not at heart Republi-
cans have seen their mistake, and are
enthusiastic for him in 1900. The Re
publican contingent of the Cleveland
school viii be training openly under
Mark Hanna in 1900, and Bryan will
90 into the White House just as Jeffer-
son did one hundred years ago ard just
as Jackson did after his second cam
paign.
Jefferson and Jackson were the great
est Presidents the Republic has known
They were radical in the best sense.
They destroyed the fetish Of caste. They
enforced equal laws. They cut loose
from Federalistic tendencies that had
been grated upon the young Republic.
They enacted the rule Of the people.
They extirpated favoritism in laws.
1hey put an end to aping the ways
Of foreign countries. They were Ameri-
cans who believed in true American
policy. based upon faith in the people.
Conditions now demand the same sort
Of radicalism that Jefferson and Jackson
praeticed. Good times followed their
administration just as they will follow
all administrations based upon correct
principles. Prosperity, permanent and
broad enough to reach the farmer, me-
ehanic and laborer, will not come under
legislation enacted by the trusts and the
protectionists and the great syndicates
for their enrichment. 1t will come
when the mints are open to both metals;
when the tariff is levied for revenue
only; when the treasury department is
not an annex of Wall street; when pub
lie expenditures are reduced to old-time
notions of economy; when the railroads
are controlled by just legislation; and
when the government is administered
according to the old Jeffersonian maxim
of equal justice to all, special privileges
to none" And conditions will not
broadly and permanently improve until
1900 when Bryan inaugurates the same
clean, economic and just government
that Jefferson and Jackson administered.
History will repeat itself.

A Timely Suggestion.

A statesman was invited to dinner with
another equally famous by gentleman OF
wealth, whose social position was more
tlattered by the entertainment of such
guests than his mind could possibly be
improved by them. The dinner was ex-
cellent. The host laid great stress upon
the value, judged by the only standard he
had allowed himself in money of the sew
eral ingredients. In particular did he ex-
pound upon the value of his wines.

Shakespeare on the Stage.

Why did Browning, Tennyson, Swim
burne, Matthew Arnold and others de-
voted to the theater fail as dramatistss Be-
cause they thought only of literature and
disdained to study the art of dramatic con-
struction. Lord Tennyson would never
have succeeded on the stage If his work
had not been taken in hand by Sir Henry
Irving and Augustin DAILY, both practical
men, and Shakespeare himself would not
succeed on any English stage of today if his
plays were not fashioned for the stage by
practical stage managers.
And yet there are people idiotic enough
to talk about the vandalism and the
atrociously bad taste of touching one word
or syllable of Shakespeare, when they
know that every Shakespearean produc-
ton by Charles Koan and Irving was most
carefully and judiciously edited for the
stage. DO these incorporate writers want
an exampleg Let them look at the Lyceum
acting edition of much Ado About
Nothing" What has become of poor Dog
berry, should like to know? Cut down
to nothing.
With Shakespeare, it must be either a
case of cutting or no Shakespeare for the
stage. And it is nonsense to say that what
Sir Henry Irving can do with impunity
may not be done by any other manager
who is a reverential student of Shakes.
