Al AsrY IUDGMENT.

In commenting on the result Of Tues
days elections the New York Times says:
IF the friends Of William J. Bryan are
not wholly deprived Of sight and sense
they must perceive that the state elections
held yesterday terminate his political ca
reer. The voters did not indorse him or
his principles"
This is q very hasty judgment. 1t looks
very much as II Mr.. Bryan was indorsed
in Nebraska. The majority for the fusion
ticket was about as large as it was in 1896
and greater by 1000 votes than Il was in
1895 That looks as if his friends were
standing by him in his own state If II
had not been for his efforts it is probab
that Nebraska would have gone Republl-
can.
II is true that Mr.. Bryan did some cam
paign work in Ohio and Kentucky. He does
not appear to have made much of an i'm
preston in Ohio, but who can say that
his speeches did not have a great inhu-
ence in Kentucky? In the latter state the
issues were local. The fight was to beat
Goebel and the Goebel election law. Bolt
ing Democrats and Republicans both
sought 10 do this II does not appear that
the boilers cast anywhere near as many
votes as it was expected they would. Was
not this because of the appeals Mr.. Bryan
made to Democrats to stand by the regu-
lar ticket? 1t is highly probable that 1t
was.
It is by no means certain that the ques-
ton as to what shall be done with the
Philippines will be a great issue in the
national campaign next year. The war in
the Philippines may be ended before that
campaign is begun and that question may
be settled by Congress within the next six
months The issues which win he presented
in the Democratic platform may not be
those Mr.. Bryan discussed so theoretically
and eloquenily in Nebraska. The situa-
ton may undergo such changes as to elm
mate some of them.
OF Mr.. Bryan's popularity there can BE-
no doubt There Is no more popular man in
the Democratic party. If a platform is
made next year on which he can consist
entity stand it is safe to say that he will
be the nominee of his party. At this time
the outlook is that Mr. Bryan and Mr.. Nc
Kinley will lead their respective parties in
the contest next year The Times may
think that Mr.. Bryans political death
knen was sounded" on Tuesday but I'M
less we are greatly mistaken the leaders
of the Democratic party do not think SO.

THE GREATEST OF THE BOSSES.

It will hardly be denied that Senator
QUAY of Pennsylvania is the greatest of
the political bosses. He is greater than
Hanna, Plat or Croker. 1t has been only
a few months since it was question
whether he would not be found guilty
of having been a party to an Illegal use
of the money of the state. Much to the
chagrin of his political enemies he was
acquitted Of that charge; but it was said
that the people of his state had lost con-
ddence in him. and that he would never
again be a power in the politics of Penn
sylvania. That prediction mas not proven
to be true. He dominates his party in
that state to-day as completely as at any
previous time. He dictated the nomina-
ton of Col Barnett for state treasurer.
notwiths tanding the fierce opposition of
his political enemies in his own party,
and. under his management, Col Bar
nett, the head of the ticket, was elected by
a tremendous majority. It is seldom that
a public man wins such triumph. He
is in a position now to say to his party
friends in the United States Senate that
they must give him the seat in that body
to which che Legislature of his state re-
fused to elect him, but TO which the Cow
ernor appointed him. 1t would not be at
all surprising if he should be given the
seat Notwithstanding the fact that the
law and the precedents are against do
ing so.
II is probable that the newly elected
treasurer is just as much under his influ-
ence as was the treasurer who was in
dicted with him on the charge of i'm
properly using the money of the state. Col.
Barnett could not have been nominated
without Senator Quay's consent. In fact,
the Senator's political power is so great
in Pennsylvania that it is probable that
he could have had any man he pleased
made treasurer He dominates his party
in the state completely, and he can,
probably, have a delegation sent to the
Republican convention that win support
any candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation he selects. Assuming that such Is
the case, he is in a position to command
the influence OF the administration in his
fight for the seat in the Senate to which
he has been appointed. If he should sue
coed in getting 1t the Wanamaker faction
would be so badly beaten as to feel like
abandoning the effort to force him out CT

rHr FUTrRE OF CUBA.


We published yesterday two interesting
dispatches relative to the condition Of af-
fairs in Cuba one was an interview with
Brig. Gen. Ludlow, military governor of
Havana. and the other was the substance
of an article in the lnde pendent by Gen.
Lee.
The situation in Cuba. as learned from
these authorities, is very much improved,
ami it is becoming better all the time
There is greater security for life and prop
erty and steadily incr easing prosperity
The Am ericans arc better liked, 9th civ
Hans and soldiers and there Is greater
confidence in the promises Of the Ameri-
can government The intelligent Cubans
now believe that the Cuban peop'e will
have independence II they want It, but
they don't expect ii Immediately. Indeed
they see the necessity for delay. Tney
are beginning to admit that they did not
understand as well as the Americans what
was necessary 10 be done before giving
self-eovernment a trial.
Cen Lee says that the Cubans do not
themselves know whether they want indie
pendence or annexation. Some are insist
ing on one thing and some on the other.
There are a few hot-heads who would
like 10 take hold of public affairs at once,
teIeying they are capable Of conducting a
government. They are so much in the
minority, however, that what they say
does not make much Of an impression.
Il is doubtful If the President has yet
settled upon recommendations to Congress
for the government of Cuba, though there
are Indications as TO what Congress will
be asked to do. The census of the island
s now being taken, which doubtless
means that the Cubans win he given an
opportunity 10 can a convention which

1t is probable that the proposed consti-
tutional assembly viii present some lively
scenes. The question OF annexation or in
dependence viii of course he considered
by it. The chances are that the decision
will be in favor Of independence. 1t would
be better for Cuba If II should be. The
Cubans viii never be satisfied until they
have had a taste of independence. II is
safe to predict that self-government will
be failure and then annexation will
come.
1t is apparent that If a programme,

Marconi, having demonstrated the prac-
ticability of his wireless biography, has
gone back 10 Europe, He is highly pleased
with the experiments during the yacht
races, and later from warshps He says
he sees no reason why the system cannot
be perfected so that it will be possible to
telegraph across the ocean without wires
The notion that the curvature of the earth
would be an obstacle is a mistake. Thus
far. however, the greatest distance covered
by the wireless te!esraphy has been fifty
10 one hundred miles. Marconi has taken
a set of instrument on the st. Paul, on
which he sailed, and when 100 miles from
Lands End he will communicate with the
British governments station there, report
ing the ship and asking fer the latest news
from South Africa. MaTcoui will not go
to South Africa, because the directors of
his company fear that he would be killed,

Where 1t Takes a Nan.

e. A. Brlninstool in Buffalo Express.
Any one can be a soldier when there's
nothing else to do
But wear a brilliant uniform and line up
for review
Any one can grasp a musket and march
proudly down the street,
When admiring crowds are present and the
music's loud and sweet;
But when the trumpet sounds for war,
and drum and screaming fife
Betoken grim forebodings of the coming
deadly strife,
And amid the lannon's roaring, when you
see the foe in sight,
1t takes man to stand in line and face
the coming fight.
When the sun is shining brightly on
cloudless Summers day,
And the waves are idly tapping in calm
and peaceful way,
When the breezes softly ripple and the
sails are held in check,
Any one can be a sailor and parade the
quarterback;
But when the storm king mutters and the
angry pillows roll
And the sails are madly Tapping, striking
terror to the soul,
a nd when the vessel losses and the seas
run mountain high,
1t takes a man to guide the ship and winds
and waves defy
You can live life of pleasure if the birds
sing all the day,
And the skies are blue above you melt
ing all the clouds away;
If no gloomy shadows hover round, your
sunshine to dispel
And all doubts and fears forever from
your mind you will expel
But when sorrows overtake you and you
bear a heavy load,
And distractions rise before you as you
tread the rocky road
When dearest friends desert you in your
keenest hour of pain,
Il takes a man to overcome and struggle
on again.
ANY one can follow blindly in the surging,
sweeping throng,
Pressing on without a leader, rushing aim
lessly along;
1t is easy to go forward if the rest are
going, too,
You can do with jealous ardor what you
see the others do.
But TO leave the crowds behind you, and
TO dare TO stand alone,
And TO face the taunts of others, and the
truth and right to own,
Standing firmly, though unaided-save by
Gods almighty hand,
Takes a man of righteous honor 'gainst
the foe to make a stand.

NO INTERFERENCE IN THE TRANS
XAAI

1t is apparent from the latest European
dispatches that there is no foundation TO
the rumors which have been so persistent
ly circulated that Germany, Russia and
France had decided 10 interfere in the
Transvaal war and prevent Great Britain
from adding the Tranvaal and the Orange
Free State TO her South African possess
sions. The Powers in question have no
intention of doing anything of the kind.
If the dispatches are to be relied upon
they have no intention of interfering with
Great Britain in any way in South Africa
There were similar rumors as to what
the Continental Powers intended to do TO
assist Spain during our war with that
country. At one time Europe was full OF
rumors that Germany and France intend
ed to lend Spain helping hand. While
there may have been a slight foundation
to the rumors 1t is doubtful If either Of
these countries at any time had any in.
ention of offending the United States by
giving material assistance of any sort to
Spain. No doubt all of the Continental
Powers would like to see the British driven
out of South Africa. The tone OF tneir
newspapers indicate as mucn. But they
are not going to assist the Beers in driving
them out
Just now il looks as if the Beers were
not in need of any help. They have been
showing an ability to take care of them
selves that has surprised the British peo-
pc and the officials OF their war de-
partmeut. The belief is taking hold of the
British mind that their war department
went into the Transvaal war withou,
! knowing much about the military strength
of the Beers. And there appears to be
some ground for the belief
The military strength of Greet Britain
is so very much greater than that of the
Transvaal however, that IL is only a cues
ton of time when the Beers will have to
yield. They win do Great Britain a great
deal of damage before they are willing TO
make peace on British terms. but
Great Britain will endure the damage
rather than recede from her position.
