1t is some times hard to under
stand the motives of men for doing
what they do. That men, particu-
larry men in the public eye, always
have motives goes without saying
but what are they? Without mean
ing to be unjust or ungenerous Mr.
Bryan is a case in point. 1t would
not be a far fetched conclusion if we
inferred from his past record and pres
ent actions that he is possessed of an
Unsuitable ambition to be president Of
the United States; that he is on the
verge of bad attack of want. to-be-
president mania.
Republicans looking on at the an
tics of this man who poses as senior
counsel in the historic case of The
People VS. The Democratic party; who
acts as if he were a second father
to most unfortunate country, to re-
publicans this is funny. In his chief
est role of leader of the democratic
hosts, a Moses leading to promise
land of plenty, and his frantic shouts
to Cleveland, Carlisle and others to
fall in line or get left, to democrats
the spectacle must be humiliating.
After resigning his commission in
the army, his first act is to grab a
banner, put himself at the head of
the profession of anti expansionists
and with mighty shout, re-echoed
in the newspapers, meant to make
the dome of the capitol rock, he says
''This is the way to victory" and
(aside) for me to become presiden +.
Mr.. Bryan at one dash has become
the leader of the anti-expansionists
In as much as everything else that Mr..
Bryan ever advocated the country re-
pudiated, the case of anti-expansion
may now be considered closed, settled,
and expansion the order of the day.
1t may be unkind to say of Mr..
Bryan that he enlisted for the pres
tige that service in the army might
give him. To accuse him of appeal
ing with studied dramatic effect to
| the galleries for applause may be I'M
just. That he has thrown aside old
issues, seemingly dead, for new bat.

opportunity to get prominently be.
fore the American people, cannot well
be denied. 1t does not concern re-
| publicans whether the democratic
/ party follows this erratic political
/ comet a second time or not. This is
a free country and Mr.. Bryan has a
right to be president if he can, anc
we suppose, to use whatever means
J he may think best calculated to serve
his purposes, but if we are not very
much mistaken he is demonstrating
every day more conclusively to the
conservative sentiment of the Ameri
can people, that he is chronic agita
tor and demagogue, and that the
most fortunate thing that has hap
pened to our country, in view of tn,
trying times through which we hav,
just passed, was the election of Nc
Kinley, and his defeat for the presi
dency.

SENATOR STEWART has gone back
to the rotten borough" of Nevada
to make desperate effort to secure
his reelection. 1t appears that Ne
vada is no longer Senator Stewards
private reserve, q formidable rival
having sprung up in the person of Rep
reseutative Newlands, son-in-law of
the late United States Senator and
multi-millionaire Sharon. Stewart
and Newlands were long associates in
business and in propagating the doc
trine of 10 to /; but Stewart now finds,
when too late, that he has been nurs-
ing serpent in his venerable bosom.
He says so, at least, in his great or
gan, The Silver Knight Waterman,
which pours out weekly denuncia-
tions of the Benedict Arnolds and
Judas Iscariots and the money devils
and capitalistic vampires of Wall
street." But, in spite of this, all signs
indicate that Senator Stewart and
his Crime of 49, are about to disap
pear from the political stage.

BY the retirement of Admiral
Bunce, Admiral Dewey is now the
senior officer of the United States
navy. He will continue as such until
Dec. 26th, 1899, when he will go upon
the retired list by reason of age, I'M
less congress excerpts him from the
operation of the law. Congress is
likely to do this and to provide that
he may hold the office of admiral il
active service without age limitation.
No honor is too high for George
Dewey

The year 1898 has to its credit one
of the greatest business records in the
history of this republic. The volume
of trade is almost if not altogether
without precedent all forms of indus
trial activity are at the flood tide, and
instead of vast army of unemployed
workmen tramping in search of bread
there is a scarcity of labor to meet the
demand. The soup house period of
the Cleveland administration is re-
membered only as q horrible example
of the incompetency of a great ma
tional party to run the country.

so very friendly to him that it has
just published his report of the opera
lions of the "Flying Squadron

80 inclusive, which included the
battling of Cervera's fleet. This re-

stated to the contrary.
