Mr.. BRYAN refused to avoid the
topic of silver in his New Jersey
speeches, although he was waited
upon by a messenger from the Dem
ocratic boss of Jersey City with the
request that the subject be ignored,
Mr.. Bryan said that he would ais
cuss the three living iss les in all bis
speeches; trusts, in perialism and
silver, and that they could be al
ranged in the order of Importance as
each man saw fit to place them. 1t
is an idle waste of time for any man
to dictate Mr.. Bryan's policy. He
speaks from an earnest conviction of
right. Being convinced of the truth
himself, he expects TO teach sound
Democratic doctrine without fear OF
favor.

THE argument on the Philippine
question reminds us that The Land
of the Dollar" was the title of g..
w. Stevens book on America. The
title needs no Interpretation just
now. 1t was an American author,
Washington Irving, who coined the
expression "almighty dollar" The
'almighty dollar" in the Land of
the Dollar" is having its own way
now, as never before in the history
of this country.

AFTER THE MANNER OF JEFFERSOl

AFTER THE MANNER OF JEFFERSON
Il want said William Jennings
Bryan, in concluding recent
speech, "if | can, to help to restore
government founded upon the
Declaration of Independence and
administered according to the
doctrine of jefferson; government
that will stand as it did in Jackson's
day, between bank aristocracy and
the people. But, my friends, L can
not tell you what fate has decreed.
L cannot tell you whether it is to be
our lot TO triumph, and in our
triumph lay the foundation again in
the old places and raise again the
ancient landmarks which the fathers
had set up. ] cannot tell, but l
know this: That if it is fate that
this nation is to cease to be a repub-
lie, and become an empire; if it is
destiny that this, the greatest re-
public of history. is to eXtinguish its
light and follow i'm the light of the
monarchies of the old world; if in
the providence of God the time has
come when the pendulum should
swing back toward the dark ages Of
the triumph of brute force, pray to
God that the Democratic party may
90 down to eternal death with the
republic rather than to live when its
principles are gone

THE Republicans in Congress
have found that for once "silence is
golden" and are practicing it while
the Democrats assault their chief of
the Treasury Department. Mr. Nc
Kinley is annoyed" and the Re-
publicans are ashamed of their Sec
rotary because of his lack of tact
in submitting his correspondence
with the bankers. But since Mr.,
Gage has committed himself and
has no political sagacity," there is
nothing to do but bear their morti
f1cation In silence.

THE Court of Chancery Appeals
has declared the Estes law unconsti
tutional. 1t were better had the
makers of the Estes law declared
the Court of Chaucery Appeals un-
necessary. According to the admin
istration of justice these latter days,
the constitution seems to be the bul
wark for corporations and pie grab
bers, and the greatest enemy the
people have. 1t is strictly against
the constitution tc regulate or con
troll any corporation, trust or COM
bine; but any of these public enc
mics may rob the individual ad
libitum. 1t is contrary to the con-
stitutiou to tax a millionaire on his
income; but precisely the proper
thing To do to tax the widows home
and the necessaries OF life. While
the poor man tolls for his daily bread
the plutocrat fattens upon the tech
nicalities Of the law. 1t is enough
TO make any thoughtful, patriotic
man, tremble for the future Of his
ccua:r-.

GENERAL MERCER S day of hnmil-
alton has overtaken him. The old
students Of the Ecols POlytechnique
have rebuffed him. This is the
school which furnishes majority
of the artillery and engineer officers
of the army, and General Mercier
desired to be president. A wild
scene followed the taking of the bal
lot when it was found that the Gen
eral only received 200 votes while
his opponent received 1000. Then
there was free fight; general
knock down and drag out. TO lose
caste with the army was the appart-
ton which haunted Gen. Mercier in
the Drcyfus trial.

If you will read carefully the re-
ports of the Kentucky tragedy, You
will discover that whisky was at
the bottom Of it ALL Lieut.. Scott
was addicted to drink, and his supe-
riOr officer complained at his excess
sive indulgence, when the young
man retorted where were you when
you saw me in the salOon, and what
were you doing but drinking your
self" The Impeachment was true,
as the Colonel himself confessed;
but none the less it angered him,
and he preferred charges against the
Lieutenant for drunkenness and in
subordination. And that was the
beginning of the end. Bad blood
was aroused between them, and the
continuous use of whisky kept the
blood hot, until, coming out of a
saloon at Frankfort, his breath reek-
ing wish the fumes Of whisky, bis
blood on fire with the poisonous
drug, his heart burning with hate,
his mind half craZed, he sees his
old antagonist. An angry look of
the eye, a suspicious movement Of
the hand, and the shooting begins.
Whisky was at the bottom of it all.
