BRYAN AT A LOSS.
The SilVer-Tongued Orator of the
Platte Is Deprived of His
Thunder.

There are signs that even the jingling
orator OF the Platte is beginning to see
light. In "a recent interview he touched
upon the heaycn-born ratio only in
academic accents. lie is no less de-
voted to free silver at 16 to /, ostensibly.
than he has been for the last few years,
but he feels apparently that its sun is
going into an eclipse. With all his en-
thusiasm he has reached the point
where he comedies that it may not be
the paramount issue of the next presi-
dental campaign. This change of at
titude is of no little significance.
81 have no doubt observes Mr.. Bry-
an, "other issues will be added to the
PLATFORM Then comes the point of
the observations: "Whatever may be
first in the public mind will be the
dominant issue" When William j..
Bryan publicly comedies that silver
may not be the dominant issue of 1900
it is safe to conclude that it is the pre-
vailing opinion of democrats, wherever
the peripatctic Nebrasllan goes, north
and south, east and west. He has riv-
aled the journeyings of the great Amer
lean traveller, and his convictions have
yielded to the pressure of popular senti-
ment. When w. j. Bryan admits tha>
silver may lose its place as the deto-
inant political issue it is safe to GOO
cludc that silver has lost that plact al
ready.
Mr.. Bryan concluded the brief inter-
view with the sensible remark that he
is mot making platform for the demo-
cratic party; the convention will do
that" That was not the spirit of his
Belmont letter and the series of post
prandial speeches of a short titlc ago.
Are not Bryan and Organism one and
inscparablc? 1t would seem not. Can
it be possible that he is a descendant of
the traditional postmaster who, when
reminded that the new president be-
longed to the anti-administration
party, replied: Il would like 10 see the
administration that could flop quicker
than | can"
In a word, w. j. Bryan is out for the
presidency and not 1G to Chicago
Inter Ocean.

TO DELAY THE INQUIRY.
Senator Mason Declares that Attempts

reports that attempts have been

thoroughly investigate the food pro-
ducts of the country, no matter where
his lightning may strike were denied
by him.
On the heels of this denial he made
the followig suggestive statement:

SCATTERING SILVER FORCES,
The Cheap Money Standard Is Being
Deserted by Political
Heavy Weights.

The announcement by ex-senator
PETER that he has returned to the re-
publican fold need cause no gseat sur.
prise He states the case with frank
ness. Originally a republican, he left
the party at a time when Kansas and
other western states as the result OF
crop failures were struggling with very
lean years. The people were much dis.
heartened, and in their distress many
of them ascribGd their troubles to the
financial policy of the republican party
But with the revival of good times,
with business thriving and the farmers
of the west on high ground again, Mr.
PETER sees the error of his hasty CON
Clusions and resumes his old political
relations.
The next twelvemonth wiz probably
reveal throughout the west many men
like Mr.. Pefrer. The popuIis. party in
tha section as originally formed was
recruited almost entirely from the re
publicans. The hard times explained
the organization there. Such planks il
the platform as the initiative and refer.
endum, government ownership and COZ
troll Of railroad and telegraph lines. and
government loans on crops and live
stock, were largely fancy touches. d.
signed to finish off and attract attel-
tion to the propaganda for a larger vCl-
ume of money. But more money
enough of ii at least to ease Up tie
whole situation-has come by the ID
agencies; and many of these men, with
the wrinkles in their stomachs filled
out and their wallets again in shape,
are willing TO postpone a general r.
forming OF the government to a later
day.
But what will Bryan do? The Ne
braska leader cannot afford to recog-
nize or yield to the good times. They
have arrived not only without his ccl-
sent, but against his predictions. He
cannot abandon free silver. lie cannot
afford to confess himself in error about
silver. Other refuge has he none. lie
sees this. lie is as frank ON his side
as Mr.. PETER is on his. He will consent
to additions to the Chicago platform,
but not to the dropping of a single is
sue it proclaims. BY adhering to it Ie
will lose many votes, particularly in
the west, but were he to abandon it he
would los" his only claim to renomina-
tion.-Nashington Star.

A WAR CLOUD.
II ia Ready TO Break Over Nicaragua
and Costa Bica.

New Orleans June s.-From advfces
received last night from Blueheids, via
the steamship Sunniva. which sailed
from that port June /, Nicarau"a and
Costa Rica are on the brink OF war.
The Timcs-Democrat correspondent,
under date of the Sunniva's sailing
writes:
"The other day, when Gen. Torres
left BIucfields for the interior via san
Juan Del Norte with 165 soldiers and
II prisoners. the Costa Rican authori-
ties on the San Juan river, where that
river passes through Costa Rican terri
tory and up which stream il was ucccs-
sarv TO 90 in order to reach Mana~ua,
refused to allow the force to pass
through.
"As consequence the soldiers and
prisoners were left in Grcytown and
Torres went ON into the interior to re-
port the matter to Xclaya. As yet no
action has been taken. Troops and
supplies, il is said. are being rushed to
the border by both Costa Rica and
Nicaragua. All kinds of rumors are
being circulated i'm Blucfclds
This condition of affairs lends sig
nificance to Il gathering held in Blue
fields on May 80. when Gen. Estrada
called a meeting of the merchants and
business men Of Blueields. In open
ing the meeting he read a telegram
from President ZcIaya wherein it was
stated that it was the purpose Of the
government to retire all the paper
money and to put the country ON
silver basis.
