The country will not turn timidly away

the picture has its shadows. While the

Silverites and Populisgs are combining with
Democrats to beat the army bill. They are
inspired by Bryan who says he sees no I'M
perative necessity for any immediate in
crease of the regular forces. They declare
a menace to the Republic. According to
statement from the War Department the
services of $1,000 men will be required ia
Cuba and those of half that number in the
Philippines, to say nothing about home duty
or about Hawaii and Porto Rico. The War
Department recommendations will be rati-
fed by Congress. either at this session or the
next. and meanwhile the volunteers can be
relied upon. Immediate opposition is there
fore likely to be followed by no undesirable
results. but that such combination should
be possible at a time like this will be Jf
some little consolation in Berlin. Paris and
ST. Petersburg. It is especially to be regret

man to believe that good results would fol-

possible Bryan has retained some measure
of respect. He can stay too long in Wash
ington. There is bad company there and
men are judged by their companions. The
contrast between the President and the Ne
braskan was strong enough when they were
b.6ding for support at the polls 1t has be-
come stronger since. Does Bryan want to
make it clear that he is not worthy of be-
ing mentioned in the same breath with the
man who overthrew him? It is beginning TO
look like IL d
