NEW POLITICAL PARTY.

The New York Mail and Express gets
facetious, but offers wise suggestion
which may be Of benefit where intended.
II says: "Inasmuch as the Three Tailors
Of Tool street resolved certain important
things in the name Of I'VE the people Of
England, there is no earthly reason why
the contemporaries" Of the United
States should not extend their protecting
influence over the destines Of the nation
on a somewhat similar plan. The report
from Washington, therefore that they are
about to form brand new political party,
with all the modern Improvements, it is
not at all alarming. They should go
ahead by all means. Their performances
would brighten up the gloom very de-
cidedly. To help the scheme along the
Mail and Express begs to offer the fol-
wing suggestions:
For PRESIDENT,
"W. J. Bryan. Of Nebraska, if not
otherwise engaged.
For VIcE-PREsrDENT,
Edward Atkinson, Of Massachusetts,
if he can get the permission Of Emilio
Aguinaldo.
PLATFORM.
Resolved, That the American eagle is
a buzzard.
Resolved, That we hereby denounce
the Purlans for not obtaining the con-
sent of the governed.
Resolved, THAT Admiral Dewey
shall be tried for court-martial for his
discourteous treatment of the Spanish
fleet in Manila Bay.
Resolved That the American soldiers,
now operating in the Philippines, shall be
brought home and slapped into jail for the
reckless use of firearms.
"Resolved That the man who says
Aguinaldo is a treacherous wretch is no
gentleman.
Resolved, That the present admins
tration has fractured the southwest cor
ner OF the Declaration of independence
and forced the American constitution into
innocuous desuetude.
Resolved. That we do not take up
collection
THIS is merely an outline platform, but
it fairly represents the principles TO which
the "anti-imperialists" are committed.
AS for the ticket suggested above, it is
running over with voice and sympathy
and would sweep Dedham, Mass, and
the third ward of Lincoln. Neb., like a
prairie fire in August. The new party
can't get into the field too soon. The
bars are down, the clover is knee high
and the newcomer can cavort and be
glad. Make ready, everybody, to wei
come the little stranger

A peculiar fact may be noted about the
new regiments selected for the Philip
pines. From $50 to $40 men in each,
have been in the service of the United
States, in her war with Spain. This de-
moIishes those yellow stories of ill-treat-
ment, disgust, ETC., which filled SO many
Democratic newspapers.

Mr.. Bryan as money maker seems to
have done about as well as defeated
Presidential candidate as Mr.. Cleveland
did as a successful one. When Mr..
Cleveland first ran for President he was a
poor man. AT the end of his second term
he retired with reputed wealth in excess
of half million dollars. When Mr.. Bry-
an, briehess lawyer, went TO the Chicago
convention with his wife in 1896 on rail-
70 ID pass purse was made up for him so
he could pay his way home. He has not
been engaged in any business since. But
his Eastern free silver organ, the New
York Journal, says, in dispatch from
Nebraska, that Mr.. Bryan's wealth docs
not exceed S2oo,o and half of that is
real estate" No wonder Mr.. Bryan wants
to be nominated again. Sure defeat does
not scare him. In another four years he

"Our State was the rallying ground of
the Populists and free silverites a few
