Bryan to Lead Again
lew York Journal.

From the New York Journai.
 For his determination to leave the army Colonel Bryan is to be heartily applauded. His hold upon the minds and the hearts or the people was won in the activities or etatcsmanship, and today there Is loud de- mand for his return to the political held. The recognized leader of the democratic marty in the nation, he has been estopped from active leadership by his subJection to military discipline. There can be no just criticism upon his act in volunteering, for if was done when the president was call ing for men, and the place for patriot was in the ranks of the defenders of the country.
 The power of. the administration, which for months was employed to keep him in a military service offering no hope of dis tinction, was at the same time used to break down the political edifice which he had with inspiring enthusiasm and politi- cal skill builded. The spectacle was pre- sented of the leader of one great party faithfully and silently serving his country in the camp, while his commander-in-chief and chief political rival stumped the coun- try in a partisan contest.
 Colonel Bryan has done his duty, and the democratic party has offered its sacri- flee with his. A new duty now confronts him. A task in which there will be. no mere camp life awaits him. Forces as men acing to tho welfare of the nation as ever

Open the Doors

From the Leavenworth Times.
 The Paris peace treaty should be consid- cred in open senate. With the public ex- cluded from the chamber flibustering Is more shameless and talking against time an easier performance. Thus matters of high importance. approved by the country and by a majority in the senate can be held up by vicious minority.
 It is not so pleasant to filibuster and talk against time when the galleries are filled and verbatim reports of the speeches are going abroad to thousands of newspa- pers.
 The Spanish treaty is too momentous an instrument to be fought by stupid obstruc- tionist tactics. It ought to be discussed open, fairly, squarely before the people, Open the doors. Let the men who would humliate the country before the whole world be seen and heard.

were the Spaniards are installed at Wash ington. The trusts and the spoiators are in the saddle. Upon the democratic party rests the duty of repelling the shock of their assaults. It is well that Colonel Bry- an has determined to resign, and the more promptly he gives his resignation effect the better.
 In the military field the republican poli- ticians were able to place Colonel Bryan where they chose, circumscribe his activi- ties and silence his voice. In the field of politics he will choose his own position, and 1t will be the democratic position.
 In the name of democracy the Journal welcomeis Colonel Bryan's return to his true field

Pingree . Inspirations
From the Boston Herald.


 The announcement of Governor Pingree, of Michigan, as candidate for the presi- dency under his own inspiration takes an indefinite form. He may attempt to be president early, his mouthpiece declares. or he may defer his ambition. What we are informed is that Governor Pingree has at present that which is recognized as the ''big head" He has had this gesd while in Michigan, and he has not been without success in it there. To project 1t into the nation is an experiment in which folly is rather more prominent than daring. But we owe this to the republicans of Michigan as much as to the conceit of their governor. They have been so long gubservisnt to him that it is not unnatural that he should think he may be able to own their brethren of the nation as he owns themselves

Judgment IN the Case Between Uncl

Judgment IN the Case Between Uncle
Sam and the Company.
Washington, June The Alaskan
seal fisheries question was threshed
over in a reversal Of the judgment Of
the circuit court Of appeals for the Sec
ond circuit by the supreme court yes
terday in the case Of the North Ameri-
can Commercial company, plaintiff In
error, versus the United States. The su-
preme court, in reversing the lower
judgment, remands the cause with a
direction to enter judgment in favor OF
the United States for $76,6S7. without
interest from April 1. 1894. and to enter
Judgment in favor Of the United States
in the counter claim. The action was
brought by the government to recover
49,, ISL, with interest for rent reserved
for the year ended April I, 1894, under q
so-called lease made by the treasury
departing mt TO this company for royal
ties on $500 fur seal skins taken and
shipped by the company Hereunder
and for the revenue tax CT 81 on each
skin.
The court says that when the number
of seals that might be killed was limited
by the government or its agent the CON-
pany was entitled to such reduction or
the rental reserved as might be proper
and that the ruie would te reduction
in the same proportion as the number
Of skins permitted to be taken bore e
the maximum. This would reduce the
total to the amount now allowed; but
the court declines to give the compan,
damages for seals it could have taken
but was not permitted to take.

Marion. Ills, June LATTER a lapse of
four years, peace has given way to riot
in the coal fields at Carterville, in this
county. The operators of the Brush
shaft at Carterville prior to the fixing
Of the present scale had entered into a
contract with their working force for
one year at 30 cents q ton. Under
these conditions business moved
smoothly until the 36-cent scale was
fixed: then the miners complained and
refused to work unless the 6 cents addi-
tional was given them. The operators
told the miners that they must work at
their written agreement, 80 cents. or
vacate the works, at the same time
notifying them. The men quit work and
600 negroes were brought In to take
their places.
Then the strikers agreed to keep their
contract and 1t was supposed that the
trouble was over. Sunday night, how
ever, large body of men gathered al
the Illinois Central station and boarded
the train en- route to Carterville. re-
fusing to pay their fare. The conductor

The chamber Of deputies has voted
the law prohibiting the expectation of
silver coin. 1t is feared the measure
will fail of the effect desired. The rush
on the Bark of Spain to change the
notes continues. The authorities. how
ever. have decided to treat as criminal
diSturbers Of the peace all persons who
change the notes for pure speculation
or to create difficulties for the bank.
The superiors of the various missionary
orders in the Philippines have sent a
message to the government complaining
that the friars are subject to persecu-
tion and assassination through the
Vaccinations Of secret societies there
and in Spain. The message further
declares that the friars are willing to
give their lives and property In defense
of the mother country, but that il the
government is unable to protect them
they will be forced to abandon the
Philippines.

Senior Calzado criticised the prohibition
Of the export OF silver money as being
useless. and urged the government to
increase the silver coinage and avert a
monetary crisis. Senior Puigcerver. the
minister of finance. said the measure
was intended to prevent the export of
the immense quantities of silver money
stored in the frontier provinces, adding
that If the prohibition was not sufficient
stronger measures would be taken. The
minister Of finance also said the Madrid
