BRYAN Insults the Army.

Col. William Jennings Bryan has
made many speeches, but few of them
have called out such general criticism
as the one recently made at Des
Moines, Iowa. Criticisms do not come
alone from the Republican press, for
not a few leading Democratic journals
have had words to say. Certain OBJ
servatIons have become texts for COM
ments that are not at all fiattering to
Mr.. Bryan. one of the latest ones ex-
citing commentary latest we refer to
one that has received heretofore small
attention-ls the following, which, in
view Of the new issue Mr.. Bryan is try
ing to force in order to divert Republi-
cans from the silver issue, which he
doesn't want killed. is important:
"a republic needs an army Of 600 for
70,c0O.O0O people. An empire needs ~ Io 1l,r
times that large an army when lVtOO,uVJ
reputation Is added. This suits the young
men who get fat Jobs in the army. but not
the people who pay the $50 year need
ca to maintain each soldier In the Phillp-
pines.
When viewed In its proper light this
is u very remarkable statement. Bryan
made /, remarkable himself by the
manner in which he uttered 1t. The
idea that a proper sized army gives
young men Fat Jobs" What does
Bryan understand to be fat Jobs for
young men?" Does he imagine for a
moment that lieutenants and captains
In the army have fat Jobs. with their
small salaries? There isn't particle
Of fairness in these offices, all things
considered. and young men are select
ed only for minor positions.
A certain contemporary that is
watching for just such Righteousness
from the ants, suggests that it would
be "far more just to accuse Mr.. Bryan
himself Of having sought commission
In the United States volunteers during
the Cuban war for the sake Of the
5000 year appertaining to the short
colOnelcy he held"
Referring to Mr.. Bryan's statement
above quoted the New York Sun makes
a double pointed comment, which APP
plies directly to Mr.. Bryan's personal
ambitions. as follows:
As Mr.. Richard Croker has lately point:
ed out, Mr.. William J, Bryan y a man OF
Intelligence. He knows perfectly Wen tLt ~!
there are no young or OLD men ~, Who SCI
fat Jobs In the army" He Is fuzzy aware
OF the fact that the life OF an otnSer In
the military service Of the United states
must needs be at all times life OF tru-
gaiity and self-denial. This knowledge
however, does not restrain MIN rom ms! ms
representing their position. Though only
recently mustered out OF the service MIN
sen, ne eagerly ISLANDERS every young oi h-
Ger remaining for the sake Of promoting
Ms intense ambition to become President:
and as such, the commandments OF
the army OF the United States.
This brings the matter right home to
Mr.. Bryan. and Is worth considering in
that light. Br. Bryan is very unfor-
tunate in saying Indiscreet things this
year.

Asis well known by all who have vis-

panorama OF the history Of America,

Now ran across a trust the other

There is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness Is caused by an indamed
condition OF the mucous lining OF the

inhaned you have a rUmbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when II is en-

and unless the Inflammation can be ia

Last night the Tenth Pennsylvania
regiment left the Pacific coast for the
Journey home, where the elaborate re-
ceptions await the heroic members. 1t
will be a great journey across the
continent, but the welcome that awaits
them will cause them to feel amply re-
paid for all the delay they have endured
since they departed from the seat OF
war in the Antipodes. AS the regiment
was mainly recruited in our nelghbor-
ing Pennsylvania county, Just across
the state line. and the gallant colonel
whose sad death is being mourned In
connection with the welcome OF his fol-
lowers. had his home at one of Wheel
lng's neighboring towns, the people of

ing, for are not the men composing the
main body our neighbors?
