tory settlement with the Afridis, but
elsewhere the situation is not quite so
promising. The Waziris, tar away to
the south Of the Khyber Pass, must
needs make raids on the territory of

to the Calcutta Foreign Office as a foray
on the British side of the border. But
the recent activity Of the Mad Mullah-

Bryan to Lead Agian

The other day Colonel Will
lam Jennings BRYAN resigned
his commission in the volunteer
army of the United States. Those
who know him will understand
shat it is not in order to seek a lie
Of inactivity that Colonel Bryan
retires, 1t is probable rather that
he finds the routine duties Of
soldier when no war exists too triv,
ial for his active spirit, and turns
eagerly TO those opportunities FOR
serving his country in civil life
which the existing political sltua-
tion offers him.
For his determination to leave
the army Col. Bryan is to be heart
lily applauded. His hold upon the
minds and the hearts OF the people
was won in the activities Of states
manship, and to-day there is loud
demand for his return to the uolit-
ical field. The recognized leader
OF the Democratic party in the
nation, he has been estopped from
active leadership by his subsection
to military rule. There can be no
criticism upon his act in volunteer
ing, for it was done when the Pres
ident was calling TOR men, and the
place Tor a patriot was in the ranks
Of the defenders OF the countrl'.
The power Of the Administration
which tor months was employed to
keep him in position Offering no
hope OF distinction was at the same
time used to break down the polt-
ical edihce which he had with in
spring enthusiasm and political
skill builded. The spectacle was
presented 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 stumDed the
country in a partisan contest.
Colonel Bryan has done his duty
and the Democratic party has
offered its sacrifice with his.
A new duty now conironts MIN.
A task in which there will be no
more camp lie aW ats him. Forces
as menacing to the welfare of the
nation as ever were the Spaniards
are installed at Washington. The
trusts and the spectators are in the
saddle. Upon the Democratic
party rests the duty of repelling
the shock of their assaults. II is
we'll that Colonel BRYAN has deter
mined to resign, and the more
promptly he gives his resignation
effect the better.
In the military field the Repub-
lican politicians were able to place
Colonel Bryan where they chose,
circumscribe his activities and
silence his voice. In the field OF
politics he will choose his own
position, and it will be the Demo
cratic position.

Capt. Dreylus, at length permitted to

General Zurlnden, who IS afraid Of the

wine are free there is less drunken
ness than in our own land where
the selling and drinking OF stimu
lants is under repression. No; th'
people who make the turmoil shu
their eyes to facts. They do no
want to hear of any fact that proves
counter to their prejudices. Hence
they revolt whenever proposition
is made to sell liquor under a
license that makes the seller re-
sponsible, that does away with
sneaklnP, spying and hypocrisy,
that induces the dealer to make
his place clean and attractive and
to surround it with moral as well
as sanitary safeguards, knowing
that the eye of the whole public
is now upon him, instead OF the
that permits, indeed forces him,
to keep a better stock of liquors
than he keptin his dingy cellar and
back room.
But fortunately, the prohibition
lists are in most States minority,
and in others a doubtful majority.
The mass OF mankind have sense.
Prohibition has been tried, and has
everywhere been found wanting.
The only merit claimed for it is that
theoretically it lessons drunken
ness, This claim is false. 1t
rather encourages it. The con-
slant infraction OF a law tends to
lower the worth Of law, and that
is perilous. 1t brings into con-
tempt the makers Of such laws
and that is not so perilous. There
are rustics in the Legislatures OF all
"dry" States who feel compelled
by popular sentiment in their con-
sti,uencies to offer measures they
do not themselves believe in, and
that in their inmost hearts they do
not think their constituents be-
heve in, either. These thing they
offer because they are moral
towards, and find it easier to shift
the blame for their conduct on the
people than to obey the prompt
ings of their own hearts and under
standings.
For the first time in years Ver-
mont has been confronted by the
question oflicense. thas wearied
OF shifts and falsities, it has sick
ened OF the quality OF its liquor, it
has viewed with envy the sums
created in other States by high !
licenses, and that must be made |
up in dry States by oppressive and |
often unjust taxation. 1t has |
elected some legislators on the ex-
press understanding that they vote |
to modernize the State. The ex-
ample OF Vermont is one oil |
national interest, since the expert |
ment that has miserably failed |
there has also been tried in other |
States and is contemplated in |
others. 1t will fail everywhere. |
The fullest liberty consistent with
public order is the birthright OF an
American. If he cannot enjoy
