Mr., Bryan is discovering early in the
campaign that it is exceedingly difficult to
serve two masters. When he pleased the
Democrats by asserting to the para
mountcy of the anti-in periaIlsm issue he
displeased the Populists because the
paramount issue in their opinion was
free silver. The result has been that al
ready several of che Populist leaders like
PETER and Senator Stewart have aban-
doned him and announced their inten-
ton to vote for Mckinley. Today Mr..
Bryan makes his formal reply to the
official notification of the Popuhsts that
he is their nominee for President. What
he is going to say is conjecturaI, but 1T
is rumOred that he will press upon them
the Importance of anti-imperialigm, and
give free silver a subordinate placs. f
he actually does this we may look Tor
more secessiOns. OF course he would
like to exalt free silver for the purpose
OF holding the Populist vote, but he can
not do that without great danger of driv-
ing off good many Democrats in the
East who have consented to support him
because he seemed to subordinate free sill
yer in his Indianapolis speech AS he has
got TO jump into a bramble> bush any
way he proposes to choose the one
which he thinks viii scratch him the
least.

subscriptions for carrying on the work OF
locating the vein and he intends to make

are slim for finding coal in commercial
quantities. While there are indications
of coal there, the absence OF slate is
much against the chance of coal in any
large amount.

We publish elsewhere o communication
from prominent Republican protesting
against the reelection Of the present sheriff
because he has not enforced the LIQUOR law
and has declared that he did not intend
to enforce it. We believe that there is no
room for controversy in regard to these
allegations. We do not suppose that it
is claimed anywhere that the sheriff
has enforced the law according to its
spirit, and the authority for the state
ment that he never intended to is an in
terview with the sheriff himself in which
he so declared. The only questions are
whether an executive officer ought to be
punished for not enforcing the laws or
for declaring that he never intended to
enforce the laws. There would seem at
first blush to be but one answer to these
questions. But it must be borne in mind
that for the past twenty-five years the
people of this county have been teaching
by their votes that it was not only per
INVISIBLE for a sheriff to neglect the en-
forcement of the liquor law, but was
commendable for him to do so. No sher-
if was ever defeated because he neglect
ed the law, but one barely escaped by the
skin of his teeth because he had enforced
1t, and he so we'll learned the lesson Of
the result that he did not enforce it any
more. When the public rewards for neg
lect and Furnishes for faithful perform
ance, and continues this method for
quarter of a century, is it to be wondered
at that an officer comes to the conclu-
son that he can serve the public more
satisfactorily by neglect than by observ-
ance, and can he really be very much
blamed for adopting the former rather
than the latterY AS for the declaration
that he did not intend to enforce the law
according to its spirit-but only to put
money in the treasury-lsn t the sheriff
who made it rather to be commended for
his frankness? Ought we not really to
be thankful that we have a sheriff who
is no bypocrite, one who frankly declares
chat he does not intend to enforce the
law and then scrupuIously lives up to his
purpose?

Of diplomacy is brought to an end by the
entry OF the allied army into the city OF

No European nation has declared in
any very definite way what it's future pol
icy is to be in China. but 1t is clear
enough from their operations that none
of them expects to withdraw from the
country very soon. Russia has already
in her fighting with the Chinese con-
quered the right bank of the Ameer river,
and no longer admits that river as the
boundary of her possessions. Certainly
Russia viii never give up the territory
that it, has already wrested from the
Chinese unless compelled to by force
Where she is she will stay. England has
landed troops at Shanghai, and France is
said to be preparing to do the same. The
speech Of the German emperor at the de-
parbure of Count Waldersee clearly fore
Swallowed operations outside of Pekin
These are all signs that the European
powers have designs upon the territory of
China, though the exact nature and ex-
tent of them may not be quite clearly de-
fined in their own minds. Doubtless
England, and perhaps France, would
much prefer that there should be no dis
member1nent or partition of the Empire,
but if Russia and Germany go to grab
bling England Will not hesitate to follow.
AS for the United States, though we
have repeatedly declared that we seek
no territory in China, the chances are
that If the European powers begin to APP
propriate territory or spheres of intiu
ence there viii soon grow up here a de-
mand from powerful interests that we
shall not permit ourselves to get left.

CAMPAIGN RUBBISH.
(From the New Bedford Standard. }

Both the great parties are running lit
erary bureaus, and we suspect that In
some cases the stuff that they prepare
finds favor with editors who are either
oyer-wOrl1ed or over-easy. But most of it
is sad rot, and whichever side wins will
have no occasion to thank it's literary
staff for the result. The newspaper men
who are in the practical business of news
paper making are in far better position
to know what the reading public needs in
the way of political reading matter and
advice than these men who are saturated
with the atmosphere of political head-
quarters. Still, the operation gives some
worthy and needy young men d good
job for the season.

Notes.

Notwithstanding the many obsta.
cles that have placed themselves in

auspieiously at the Main Street
Methodist church, Wednesday even
ing The attend qnee at the e9uven>
ing of that body vas the largest
known in the history Of the ofgani-
ton. Representative intelligence
of the state is here aud besides
there are many visitors from
adjoining states.
The extraordinary fnclemeocy Of
the weather, the assembling of
several other conventions ia TIE
state and the unusual delay Of
trains are some Of the factors which
eedad to delay the operations. Al
this might have been different had
the executive committee needed the
protest CT Mr. Hinemoa and set the
time Of meeting on a more favorable
occasion.
When the many inimieal forces
mentioned are considered. this
meeting is indeed a record breaker.
Chairman Hinem9n called it to
order at the church Wednesday
evening in the presence of several
hundred visitors aud a full quota of
delegates. He made brief talk in
which he explained the unavoidable
Instructions AMI expressed his
sincere regrets. Z 1der the diree
ton of Mrs. Addie 7. Owen and
Prof. NJ. D. Mcneil a choice
musical program was rendered.

blessings Of the Almighty upon this
session. His language was quite
appropriate and impressive.

directed to the proper training of

the address.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Clary's
speech, all the teachers were enroll
ed and a social meeting was held for
an hour, during which time a gen.
eral hand shaking was INDUCED in
with pleasure by the various teach
ers and citizens present.
