manner of the formers nomination and the
election BILL Is he prepared to do that?
He cannot, like Mr.. Watterson, indorse Mr.
Geebel and repudiate all of his works. Mr..
Watterson is at home. and takes liberties
with his own vine and fig tree. Besides. he
is hard pressed in this race, and has been
absolved from giving reasons for anything
But Mr. Bryan, as a visitor, must IL possi-
BILE, be logical Can he, whose own methods
have SO far been above question, afford to
indorse those of sort so radically differ
ent?
But strangest feature of all will be the
appearance of Mr.. Bryan and Mr. Waiter
son on the same side. They ought to stump
the state together. They would undoubt-
ediy prove great drawing card, although
the crowds might be more amused than
convinced by the combination. Mr. Waiter
son. while glad to hear that Mr. Bryan is
coming to Mr.. GoebePs aid, is still against
Mr.. Bryan. He calls for Mr.. GoebeTs cleo
ton in enc column and for a new leader and
new platform for the national democracy
in the other. But this of course. would not
prevent him from giving the Nebraskan a
cordial welcome to the state and helping
him "whoop up the boys" The Kentucky
people have keen sense Of humor and a
Bryan and Watterson special" rolling
over the state, would distribute a good deal
of hilarity.

The Peril of the Surf,

The Atlantic has now robbed this city Of
three lives this season and has threatened
to take several more. The surfs death roll
is growing distressingly fast. Are not the
bathers and the boating parties risking too
much when they venture far out from the
shore? The chances of disaster are great
The ocean invites the bather with a soft
embrace 1t coois him and soothes him and
lulls him into forgetfulness. 1t is treach-
erous friend. Few men and fewer women
are strong enough to withstand the buffet
ing of the waves. Only a small number of
those who enter the surf are good swim
mers at best. Sudden eddies in the tide.
savage surges of the breakers will take
them unawares. There is a moment of des-
perate struggling. which rapidly exhausts
the strength, and then swift floating
away. In the attempts at rescue often
other lives are risked and lost. The emer-
gency is so sudden and help Is SO far away.
The nerves and muscles of the bathers are
paralyzed in the fear of the moment. Life
lines are too short. Boats are lacking or
are clumsy. Then comes the end Ocean
bathing may be made safe If 1t Is accom-
panied by ordinary caution. But the step
from safety to danger is a short one in tie
shifting sands of the beach Young lives
thus suddenly taken away from the commu-
nifty are far too precious to be wasted in
the sport of a summers day.

The yellow fever outbreak at Hampton
seems to be under control. There have been
practically no fresh cases for some days.
This is a gratifying showing for the au-
thorities OF the home and the marine hos
pitai officials who took charge of the situa-
ton upon the first alarm. 1t seemed at the
outset when 1t was announced that the fever
had made it's appearance in the midst of
the 1900 inmates of the institution. that
no human devices could prevent devastat-
ing sccurge 1t was dreaded lest the germs
of the disease would creep outside and
spread the fever among the neighboring
communities. It was feared, too, that the
excursionists who passed through the home
recently in large numbers would carry the
infection far from the source and start
epidemics here and there throughout the
country These fears were perhaps not
fully acknowledged while there was dan
ger of a panic. but the seriousness of the
situation was never disputed as long as
the chance of a general outbreak remained.
The danger IS not yet, of course, entirely
passed. There is no warrant for a sudden
cessation of all caution. The quarantine at
the home must be maintained to the last
hour with just as much severity as in the
first stages of the outbreak. But there Is
no longer reason for stoppage of general
traiiic to and from Norfolk and its vicinity

Wa. the Kaiser Correctly Quoted.

The Berltner Tageblatt has information
that week ago Emperor William at Kiel
received in audience board his yacht
Congressman Foss of Illinois and United
States Attache Bechler, and for three-quar-
tiers of an hour discussed with them the
current topics of the day. He said among
other things that he did not credit the I'M
friendly sentiment recently attributed to
Admiral Dewey about Germany and then
declared his conviction that German-Ameri-
can relations would always remain friendly.
Germans in America, he said, would take
good care that no aggressive Or hostile
policy should be pursued toward Ger
many"
The cable report of this story concludes
as follows:
THE Tageblatt does not vouch for the
verbal accuracy of the foregoing, but as
sertS that it is a faithful reproduction of
the gist of the emperOr'S remarks"
Let US hope that the Tageblatt has
missed both the gist and the verbal accu-
racy of the kaiser's remarks For, as a
matter of fact. they are not only not credit
able TO his knowledge of conditions in the
United States, but they are a reflection on
American citizens OF German birth The
assertion that the Germans in America
will take good care that no aggressive
or hostile policy shall ''be pursued toward
Germany" carries with it the suggestion of
DIVIDED allegiance; that, in fact, the Ger
mans in America, in matters of foreign
policy. are Germans first and Americans
afterwards
The kaiser is off his royal base as to this
No self-respecting American citizen of Ger
man birth could afford to occupy any such
attitude. In questions relating to the
United States and its policies he is simply
an American citizen He puts his country
first. Its interests are his interests; its
legitimate allies in any particular under
taking are his allies. That he should hope
always to see the interests of the United
States coincide with those of Germany is
natural But if at any time the interests
of the two countries should clash, his
duty will be very plain, and by his good
citizenship and his many sturdy qualities
as a man exhibited in his adopted coun-
try he will be prompt about dischargfng It,
Let the kaiser make no mistake. Let
him not value overnuch the capers of a
few agitators in this country who make
political traffic of their German birth Let
him take good care not to run counter
u the interests of the United States. His
reliance for peace is, or should be. on his
own conduct He deludes himself if he
fancies that German-Americans in any
number are for him as against their adopt
ed country, or are seeking to make of the
United States tail to his kite.
Here again we have the hyphen. Here
again obtrudes the suggestion that Ameri-
can citizenship is not all in all for those
who enjoy it. Why should not it be? What
excuse is there for any citizen of foreign
birth, no matter the country of his nativ-
ity, to take good care to be mindful of
any flag but the stars and stripes?

Andrew Carneges appointment by the
Duke of Sutherland to be d magistrate was,
no doubt, well meant. But Mr.. Carnegie
makes it clear that as he cannot accept
and remain an American citizen he will not
accept He will not abandon his American
citizenship. he declares. for anything.
In this respect Mr.. Carnegie differs from
William Waldorf Aston. Born subject of
Tire queen, 1t has been his pleasure to be-
como citizen of the United States, and
while he spends portion of each year in
his native Scotland he continues as loyal to
the stars and stripes as any natural citizen
Of this country. He Is an American citizen,
too. of whom his fellow citizens are proud,
both for his distinguished ability in build
ing up American industry and for his COM
mendable public spirit.
The desire of the Duke of Sutherland to
honor this industrial king and philanthropy
list was natural enough, but unfortunat ely
he chose an impossible means of doing so.
To be an English magistrate implies being
British subject and that Mr.. Carnegie
will not be. He prefers to be a sovereign
citizen of the leading nation of the world

Evidences are at hand of greater activity

encouraged, doubtless, by the inactivity Of
the American troops in consequence of the
weather and by the suggestions from Bos-
ton by way of Hor kong and other juEta
stations that the Philippine policy of the
government is unpopular here.
Gen MacArthur's encounter at San Fer.
nando ought to discourage further en-
croachmerts upon the American lines. Gen.
Otis housekeeping in Manila ought to
lessen the chances of rebel plots in the
capital. The accounts OF the enlistments to
fill the regular army and the ten regiments
of volunteers ought to persuade the juntas
and Aguinaldo that the war of pacification
is not altogether disapproved by the people
of the United States. The new administra-
ton of the War Department should in a
few weeks effect such an organization of
the army IN Luzon that the forthcoming
campaign will finish off the process of con-
viRcing the natives that the United States
IS IN earnest IN It's intention 10 occupy the
archipelago and to give It good government.
Recent statements of the status of the
army are encouraging. 1t is apparent that
the mistakes of last summer are being now
utilized to show the way to a smoother
management of military affairs. The coun-
try is OF now so seriously unprepared for
campaigning. 1t has had nearly year and
half of practice in the raising, eauipping
and maintaining of good sized armies. 1t is
working along under a fair Roadway with
out material friction, and the condition of
it's forces is far better than il was possible
to make it in the Spanish campaign. There
are no enormous camps to breed disease;
no hastily embarked regiments to suffer on
ship-board for the lack of food, water and
medicines; no leaky, disabled transports to
imperil the lives of their passengers; no
food supplies hastily scraped together with
out regard for their fitness for tropical
climates.
That mistakes along these lines occurred
last year cannot be questioned. Nor is it
to be seriously doubted that they were the
result of the feverish haste with which the
war was pressed. to the lack of preparati ton
to the inexperience of many of the officers
sent from the states with local regiments
to the scores of reasons which are iegit-
imately part of any rapidly developed cam
paign. The satisfactory fact now is that
these b,unders are not being repeated.

British Insistence, Boer Stubbornness

The Transvaal situation is undeniably
serious in the light of Mr.. Chamberlain's
significant utterances yesterday in the
house of commons. According to his speech
the present crisis hangs upon the issue of
whether or not the Transyaal government
will consent to submit the grievances of
the outlanders to joint commission. 1t is
reported unoficially that the volksraad
has already voted to reject this proposal,
besides adopting what are considered ex-
traordinary war measures Mr.. Chamber
lain said that he had no formal Informal
ton that the proposition for commission
had been rejected by the boer legislature,
but that if il had been or if it were to be
the ultimate remedy must be applied. He
deprecated a statement by member of
the opposition that war in this case is
needless. MIR. Chamberlain evidently be-
lieves that war is in fact necessary to
support the British prestige in the colonial
world. Parliament was yesterday pro-
rogued. The government is therefore more
free to formulate and execute its policies
than it has been with the possibility of
legislative questionings, which might at
any time expose matters which should be
kept secret. 1t would seem at present
that the next move of Importance af-
fecting The situation must be made by the
TransvaaI. in the direction Of reaffirming
the refusal to agree 10 a commission, or OF
further expressing the determination of the
republic to ignore the British suzerainty.

A Chance for the Aunties,
From the Chicago Tribune.

The aunties are neglecting an opportunity
right at our own doors. The Mexican gov
eminent has decided to wage a war of sub
Jugat1on against the Yaqui Indians, who
have revolted without its authority The
1a9uis are superior race of Indians
skilled in agriculture and knowing many
of the arts Of civilization. The Albany
Evening Journal contends that their revolt
is ample proof that the Mexican govern
n ent has not their consent to be governed.
The point is a good one, and inasmuch as
the aunties claim that all governments de-
rive their just powers from the consent of
the governed it is somewhat remarkable
that they have kept quiet so long about this
unholy war which that government pro-
poses to make against the liberty of the

Maintaining Advertising Rates.

1t is good business policy for paper to
maintain its advertising rates under any
and all circumstances. While it may catch
an occasional ad. by cutting. it also loses
many another by it. A cut rate is notice
to the advertiser that your paper is not so
good as you representa- to be. Aside from
this, 1t is not fair to your regular adyer-
tisers They are the most valuable business
friends you have. and are entitled to the
reduced rates. If you can afford to cut the
rate to one person, you should reduce it all
