BRYAN AND THE SILVER ISSUE.

Our morning contemporary is at
least impartial in discrediting news re-
ports for it contradicts its own local
it does that of other newspapers. Yes
terday it asserted and undertook to
prove that William ]. Bryan has given
"a direct notice that while not taking
back anything said in sc, the Demo-
cratic fight in 1900 will be on import
ant new issues which have arisen, and
that while making the fight on these
for the fight of 1896"
That was an editorial opinion. In its
report of the Nebraska state conven-
ton, printed on the first page of the
same issue, appeared the following:
Mr.. Bryan dictated the platform of
the Democratic convention. This docu-
ment declared uncompromisingly for
free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to l, and indorses bodily the Chicago
platform of 1885,
Two other conventions were held in
Omaha at the same time. The tele-
graphic report. which was printed in
the local Republican organ, said: Mr..
Bryan addressed all three conventions
and was emphatic in his denunciation
of the administrations policy in the
Philippines. He also spoke vigorously
in support Of the free coinage of silver,
declaring it to be the main issue now
before the public. He denounced trusts
in strong terms and criticized the ad-
ministration for doing nothing to regu-
late Them
For the sake of appearances our
neighbor should not contradict its own
news service. But, as a matter of econ
omy, it would better do that than at
tempt to discredit the news service of
others.

from realism in this way: Realism re-
fers mainly to the methods employed
by the literary artist in the achieve
ment of his object; naturalism includes
his whole conception of art, not only
its methods. but its aims. In gen
eral way it may be said that all natu-
ralistS are realistS, but il cannot be
said that all realists are naturalists.
Balzac, for example, was in the main
a realist. But he was not in the main
a naturalist. In the prosecution of his
art he portrayed things as he saw
them, exactly, photographically. But in
his ideal of art he felt himself con-
cerned with the moral relation of eff
fects TO causes; that is to say, with the
quality of human action as exempli
fed under the great determining intlu-
ences of heredity. environment, oppor-
tunity and the like. He was an ar
tist but he was a philosopher as well.
But the true naturalist is not a phil
osopher and makes no pretension to
be one. He is not concerned with the
moral relation of effects and causes.
He is concerned only with phenomena
and their sequences as such. He has
no thesis to prove, no precept to en-
force. He neither commends nor con-
dennis. LAS to giving my opinion about
the personageS in my novels, said
Flaubert, mo, no: thousand times

conspicuous poet France has had dur
ing the last half century, was, how
ever, an avowed and militant natural
ist. Art for arts sake, the denial OF
final purpose in art, the love of beauty
as a thing in itself divine. the regard
for style as a thing in itself, admirable,
the impersonality of the artist, the
Identification of art with science, were
all so many points in his conscious and
acknowledged theory.
The greater misunderstanding, Zola
and Guy de Maupassant-have still to
be mentioned, but these will have sep
arate treatment. Yet even to mention
these great names recalls the fact that
naturalism. like every other theory of
art. has had it's infinitude of exemplifi-
cation. AS was the case with roman
ticism. naturalism had scarcely begun
to exist as a definite working theory
before it began to show signs of differ
entiation.
Naturalism is devoid of objective pur
pose. But such a theory of art can
never long be held by the ardent spirits
of, any age. De Vigny Q799-1S64),
though one of the earliest romanticists,
in time ceased to be one. But he never
became a naturalist. Il am an epic
moralist" he said. And these words
express what many another great soul
of the century, despite the influence of
naturalism, has essayed to be.
Art cannot long be ASSOCIATED from
morals. The ethical spirit of an age

material life; but psychic life, moral
life. Fiction" said Goncourt, lis the
history of contemporary morals" The
true naturalist denies the necessity OF
any such motive. He is concerned only
in producing an impression. Art for
arts sake is his one guiding principle.
This principle or ideal of art, art for
arts sake" was indeed first put for
ward by one who was not a naturalist
proper. but an avowed romanticist,
Theophile Gautier. But the phrase was
soon adopted by the naturalists as an
expression of their theory. and IL is in
deed the best expression of their theory
that il is possible to give. 1t contains
in the germ every element of their the
DRY.
1t is Flaubert QS21-1ss0) that the
avowed school of naturalists in French
fiction generally regard as their found
er. Flaubert's theory of art was in
deed precise and definite. Art for
arts sake" was his guiding principle.
and he acknowledged no end in fiction
but the artistic one and no methods
but those that were rigidly scientific.
But Flaubert by reason of inherited
and other influences. was quite as much
a romanticist as a naturalist, quite as
much an idealist as realist. His work
therefore is but the connecting link be-
tween the old order of things and the
new. In his style, however. Flaubert
belongs wholly 10 the latter school, &

MAJOR GRANTS FOOL FRIENDS

A politician of this city who Incl
dentally owns Republican newspaper,
is attempting to injure Major R. W.
Youngs reputation as a soldier and a
gentleman by printing abusive inter-
views with returned volunteers.
1t does not matter that the inter-
views are repudiated by the men to
whom they are attributed. If they
we're all honest expressions of opinion,
they could not affect the public knowl-
edge that Major Young has been a
brave soldier, an efficient officer, whose
record is unimpeachable.
The most serious charge against him
is that he wanted the batteries retained
in service that he might get good
berth for himself.
The fact as known to all is that Ma
for Young tried hard to get the bat
teries mustered out; that when they
were retained in the islands, he exposed
himself constantly on the firing line,
endured the hardsnips of the field and
carried himself as an American soldier
is expected to. If the batteries were
disrusted at their retention after their
term oil enlistment Idu GApilSNs NAACs
may thank the heroic Otis and the ben
eficent Mckinley. whom Major Young
defamer so adores-
The Utah batteries and their officers
made magnificent reputation as
fighters and earned enough glory to
satisfy every man in the command, as
vel as every citizen of this state. They
have finished their service and are ex-
pected to say what they please about
their experience and their officers.
Such comment adds to the general gal
ety of the season and costs nothing. But
when one of their officers is beslimed
by cheap politician for political ends,
the aforesaid politician is apt to find
his job an extremely unpleasant one
before ne gets through.
Apparently the attack on Major
Young is intended TO benefit Major
Grant by leaving him the only avail
able candidate for mayor on platform
of military glory The Herald does not
believe that Major Grant himself will
tolerate any such performance. On the
contrary, it believes he has already
caught the drift of public opinion in
this matter and is praying to be saved
from his fool friends.

M'KINLEY AND GOLD.

Ex-senator Frank J. Cannon was in
Chicago the other day on mining bust
ness. and while there was interviewed
on the political situation. He attaches
no Importance to the surrender of GER
tain spoilsmen to the captivating infiu-
ence of Hanna, and thinks that the
cause of bimetallism win gain two con-
yerts for every traitor that deserts.
In his interview the ex-senator said:
.sMr. Mckinley has been compelled TO
abandon his double standard convic-
tions. The gold party las him in its
mower. and, with the trusts, will I'M
doubtedly cause him much embarrass-
ment. Senator Teller has an enormous
following in the west and in the south,
which will follow his leadership in the
next presidential campaign. I am pos
tive there viii be no falling off in the
vote of the Republicans who were true
IN their convictions at the st. Louis
convention"
And when it comes to a choice of
STANDARD bearers, Senator Cannon
doesn't propose the name OF Teller, or
oeem it possible for any other Demo-
Graf than William ]. Bryan to get the
.,oroina.lon and make the race against
BecKinley.
