BRYAN AS PRESIDENT.
what Would Follow the Election of
the Popocrat Candidate.

Imagine Mr. Bryan elected president
and installed in Office. The country is
in a state of unrest and apprehen-
sion. Business men have taken in sail
until business is practically at stand
still. An extra session of the new
congress is urged ON the one hand and
advised against on the other. Mr..
Bryan finally yields and calls congress
together. 1t is announced that he Is
about to begin writing his message.
What will it contain? The people
everywhere are curious, and Washing
ton fills up with northern men and
southern men, eastern men and west
ern men, all anxious for word with
the president as to what in their opin-
ion the situation calls for.
The northern and eastern men urge
q conservative course. Do nothing to
add to the distrust of business circles.
Knock off some of the war taxes and
let it go at that. On no account men,
ton either silver or the tariff or the
deuce will be to pay. The western and
southern men and particularly the
Populists urge a straight out deelara-
ton. Why hold back? Why under
take to cover up? Mr.. Bryan's views
are known, and on the strength of
them he obtained hearty and heavy
support in the west and south. Shall
he now go back on those who made
him? Are free silver and tariff reform
to be shunted at the instance Of those
Democrats under whose counsels Gro
yer Cleveland wrecked himself and
temporarily the Democratic party?
How would Mr.. Bryan come out of q
test like that? Wait and see how he
comes out of the present test. He Is
on trial now. The Kansas City plat
form follows the lines of his dictation,
and his wishes also prevail in the mat
ter of his running mate. What will
the harvest e?-Washington Star.

menace than that which by any posi-
bllity is involved in the continuance of
President Aiekinlcy's policy respect
ing our newly acquired territorial pos
sessions, writes to The Transcript as
follows:
''If all the friends Of antiexpansion
should vote for Dir. Bryan, he might
carry congress with him, and If so
then we should have free silver and
free trade, and these would work more
evil to this country than the Spanish
war has done. Under the Dingley
tariff our manufactures have prosper
ed as never before. 1t has stimulated
our exports and made us the leading
commercial nation of the world If
Mr. Bryan should be elected with a
Democratic congress, which would
mean a Bryan congress, 1t is startling

would have about him. Should that

MY advice to all friends of anti
expansion is to stand by the grand old
party which has never failed but once,
and that was on the question of expan-
sion. If could see any other way out
of this dilemma, should gladly adopt
it."
This Boston man shows excellent
sense and sound patriotism in his
choice between what he considers two
evils. He chooses the least, and as the
result of this choosing he and all the
rest of the antiexpansionists whose
votes shall make certain the reelection
of President Mckinley will discover
long before the presidents second term
shall have expired that they did wisely
and well to fight down and put to rout
once for all the real peril of free trade
and bad money and to leave to the
American people the ultimate decision
of the question what to do with the
Philippines. Imperialism is bugbear,
and time will prove it to be so. Bryan
ism is terror and a danger only to
be removed by a crushing defeat at
the polls next November.

It is good thing that the Democrat
ic party has no reputation to lose for
accuracy of statement. Facts are stub
bornly against them. They are wrong
on silver They are wrong in predict
ing distress in Porto Rico. They are
wrong in predicting the doom of the

Practically Cci,tai:, That One VIII be
Erected.
It is stated that another new and splen-
did hospital is to be established in Rich
mond The board OF the University Col
lege Of Medicine is responsible for the
undertaking, and as members of that
board have stated. they propose to carry
it through.
For some time it has been realized that
some improvements and changes We're
necessary in connection with the Virginia
Hospital. which institution has been close
ly associated with the University College
for a number of years. Several plans of
procedure are under consideration by the
boards of the two institutions, but as
yet nothing definite has been settled upon.
An effort was made by the University
College to secure an option upon the
buildings of the Woman's College, TO be
used for hospital purposes: but this at
tempt was unsuccessful. Some members
OF the boards are III favor of remodelling
and adding to the present buildings of the
Virginia Hospital, while others favor
building a new hospital. What will be the
final decision reached cannot be stated
at this time, but one thing is certain, 4
new hospital will be the result.
The new institution will more than
likely be under the direction of the Uni
versity College board, as past experience
has proven that one board rather than
two is to be desired.
