organization Of the Bryan Silver Battalion
by offering the regiment with approved
s~lxteen.to-ono warriors. When questioned
about the political character Of these COM
missions, Gov. HoLooMB replies that he
has mo apology to make" Col. BRYAN
announced o n Monday that he has been
"%studying tactics for several weeks" And
now the political Colonel, the only indi-
vidual in the United States, be It noticed,
to be foisted on the Federal Army without
a redeemlng streak of previous military ex-
perlence, and his political regiment are
ready for service, IL the United States Gov
will take them.
Tho remarkably candid confession Of Gov
ernor HoLooMB emphasizes q disgraceful In
cident of the present war. Among the be-
levers In free silver at the ratio of sixteen
to N there are men just as brave and
Americans just as patriotic as can be found
anywhere In the nation. Silverites are
fighting to-day at Santiago and at Manila,
or are waiting, full of eagerness to fight, at
Tampa, at Chickamauga, and at Hemp
stead. We honor them, as the country
honors them, for their patriotism. But
they are fighting. or waiting to fight, as
Americans under the American flag, not
as Sllverltes under the banner Of Bryan
SIN. There is no moro room for o
silver battalion in the army Of the United
States than there is for q Tariff Reform
brigade or an Irredeemable Greenback bat
terry. We wish to observe that 1t is an en-
tirely discreditable thing to attempt to
carry to the front the politics of partisan
ship, and of that discreditable attempt Mr..
WILLIAM ]. BRYAN has been the industri-
Gus promoter and is the intended bene-
flciary.
If mustered in by the United States, Col.
BRYAN and his politico-thespian regiment

Emperor and his court 70 escape from others
Of the Same kind by retiring into the
western recessss Of the empire to q
the journey will be long and weari-
some. There, far away from the intrusion
Of foreigners, the court can continue the
old policy Of vatism and mystery
which 1t has taken 30 many centuries to
penetrate, and feel secure for n time
against any attempt by q European power
to obtain control of the person of the Sow
ereign, and through him of the country.
While the position of Si-gnan is we'll
adapted to serve the political objects indi-
Gated, 1t has also considerable military adj
vantages. 1t is difficult to reach from the
south owing to the mountain anR form
ing the southern watershed Of the Hwei-ho
and Hoang.ho, and 1t must be many years
before the country lying Immediately to
the north Of Shapsi and Shensi Is sufh-
GENTLY developed to bring the Russians
in anything like close touch with the south
ern part of Shensi. There is, however, one
point that is not to be overlooked. Si.gnan
is accessible by water all the way from the
sea by the Hoang-ho as Boon as steamers
shall have been placed on tho course of
that river from Its mouth in the Gulf of
Pe-chi-lt to the junction with the Hwel.ho,
o. which Si-gnan is situated ; and the first
two hundred miles of the Hoang-ho from
the sea pass through the province Of Shan
tung, now q German sphere. Tsi-nan, on
the eastern bank Of the Hoang-ho, about
ono hundred miles from the SEQ, is q town
Of considerable Importance, and is to be
connected with Kiao Chou by rail. This,
It may be remarked, would make the Ger
mans in S%hantunR the virtual masters
and guardians Of the highways by land
and water between the proposed new CAPT.
tai Of China and the outer world.
The statement that a large military force
Is concentrated in the province of Shansi,
about half way between Pekin andSi-gnan,
to accompany and protect the court on it's
Journey, has an Importance OF its own. The
population Of the country Of which the new
capital would be the centre Is distinguished
by Its physical qualities and energy above
that of the rest of China, and II tho inten,
tion of the rulers of the country is to create
q military force that would recover the in
dependence of China from foreign infu.
ences, the choice of Si-gnan Is as good az
could have been made. In any case. II
seems certain that 1t Is felt in China that
Pekin is too near the points Of possible
conflict between the powers that ave as
sumed the function Of its protectors, ant
that the further away the court can gel
from It the better for Its W safety anc
comfort,

Tho Ono Political Colonel.

The Third Regiment of Nebraska Volun-
teers is commanded by Col. WILLIAM ].
BRYAN of Lincoln. Its services were
formally offered to the United States Gov
ernment on Monday by the Populist Gov
ernor HoLooMB, at the instance of the
Populist Senator ALLEN.
1t is right that the plain truth should DO
told about this business.
When the eminent Thespian who played
the part Of a Presidential candidate in 1895
made up his mind to attempt in 1898 the
role Of a military leader and hero, his
determination put President MCKINLEY
in an embarrassing position. The President
must either accept or reject Mr.. BRYAN's
widely and nolsily advertised proposal.
II he accepted 1t, he was obviously lending
aid to an enterprise of political advertise
ment, and admitting into the organization
Of our volunteer army influences and con-
alterations up to this time avoided. If he
rejected 1t, the President might seem to be
lacking in courtesy to one who had been
his competitor for the Office he holds. He
was sure to be accused of questioning the
integrity of Mr.. BRYAN's motives in decid-
Ing to become a soldier. and even to be
III ~ PSAoSNupiAe hAiAs
AT the same time President MCKINLEY
knew what every man in the United States
knows, and what BRYAN himself must
know, namely, that the regiment com.
manded by this purely political Colonel
will be subject to the risks and perils In
| volved In incompetent and absolutely mex
perienced leadership.
How the War Department will deal with
the difficult question thus presented re-
mains to be seen. Meanwhile the political
part of the business has been studiously
and deliberately prepared at Lincoln.
The regiment Is known In advance as
the "Silver Battalion" For a time 1t
was industriously announced that Mr..
BRYAN, burning with patriotic ardor,
would insist upon fighting as a private in
the ranks. The original scheme appears to
nave been that he should enlist as a
private, be elected Captain of his company
by the vote of his comrades, and then be COM
missioned as Colonel. 1t has been reported
that this plan was abandoned because
there was reason to fear that Mr.. BRYAN
could not carry his company for Captain.
The programme was cut down. The Populist
Governor issued to MIR. BRYAN a Colonels
commission, and the political Colonel thus
created was photographed, for the purposes
of history and future political campaigns,
in the act of receiving his commission from
the Governors hands. Son say that he
posed on that occasion before a kinetoscopG
machine. Knowing his abilities as a Thes
plan, we are quite sure hat even Lieut.. Col
JIM HAM LEWIS himself could not have
struck a more nObly martial attitude In
the face Of the Gamers.

Mr.. PoULTSEY BIGELow Is q professional
writer of respectable standing. whose path
In life has not led him into the domain of
matters concerning the organization, dis
c~ipline, and administration of armies In
the field. He is purely a civilian. Hence,
In criticising u troops lin Florida, he gave
| his attention to superficial ~roughnesses and
deficiencies, which his inexperience exag-
Rerated into fundamental defects of the
Rravest character. To q novice any army
In the field is disappointing to the ideal OF
it conceived by him In tho repose of his Ii.
brary. Moreover, the rapid collection OF
our volunteer troops in camp led to certain
obvious and inevitable deficiencies in
preparation, but where they have occurred
they were soon remedled or the remedy
will be soon applied. They may be annoy
ing, but they are not of serious consequence,
as is shown by the almost unexampled
health of our troops In Florida and theiI
steady improvement in discipline.
Mr.. BIGELow simply made a mistake in
regarding himself competent for the criti'
cism in which he INDUCED, and doubtless
he did not appreciate duly the improperly OF
making 1t in time OF actual war, or feel suf
ficiently the responsibility he took in alarm
ing causelessly the friends of the soldier
and discouraging patriotic people.

Mason and Mixed Flour.

The Senate allowed the Hon. WILLIAM z.

ment regulating and taxing the manufac-
ture and sale of mixed flour. The Mason
amendment, while ~ostensibly for the pur-
pose of revenue, 10 in fact and effect q sep
arate act for the confusion Of the makers

vantage Of the makers of unmixed -four.
Just as the Oleomargarlne act, signed by
GROVER CLEVELAND, to his lasting dis
credit, used the power Of taxation with the
object of hurting n business and helping
another, so this Mason amendment, moro
properly this statute against mixed flour,
uses the power Of taxation to help n set
Of manufacturer at the expense Of another.
The Mason amendment should be hustled
out of the War Revenue bill by the House.
1t is an Independent statute. If Congress
deems 1t It's business to interfere in the rival
ries Of manufacture, let it do so openly.

HARRISBURG, Pa. June s7.-ChairmAn Gar
man of the Democratic State Committee spent
some time at the State Democratic headquarters
to-day. He left for Altoona this afternoon to
arrange details Of the State convention, to DO
held on June 90. should he find Altoona don.
oient in hotel accommodations, he will at once
call the State Committee together to consider Q
change of meeting place to Harrisburg.
Col. James NJ. Guffey of Pittsburg got Chair
man Garman on tho long-distance telephone
yesterday and gave him to understand that he
was very much in the ring as q candidate for
Governor. and that all stories about his with
drawal were fabricaCions. The opposition to
Judge James Gay Gordon of Philadelphia Is
based upon his alleged refusal to swallow the
Chicago platform In the last Presidential cam
paign. 1t is charged that he voted for Mo
kinley.
II Is quite clear from Chairman Garman'S
talk to-day that the nominee Of the convention
must be u Bryan man. Judge ID. l. Homo OF
Wilkesbarre will be pushed for Judge of the
Superior Court by the friends OF the State Chair
man.
The throwing down of William F. Harrity by
National Chairman Jones gave Chairman Gar
man q lot of satisfaction. 1t 10 evident that
the silver wing of the party will insist upon the
Chicago platform, and under the circumstance
there can be no harmony In the party.
