not what Mr.. Bryan may personally desire
in the premises. 1t was clearly demon
strated in the convention which recently
nominated him at Kansas City that fully
two-thirds of the democratic voters of the
country are now opposed to this fallacy
of free coinage. Mr.. Bryan is not fool.
and he will not likely try to reverse or
overrule the settled convictions OF his
party
Although the one rejects and the other
accepts him; although the one is a silver
and the other a gold man; although the
one supported and the other opposed him
four years ago. both of these gentlemen
impeach the loyalty of Mr.. Bryan to the
silver issue, and therefore his sincerity.
Both in effect accuse him of playing 1t
rather fine on the silver men.
But, strangely enough, the impeachment
of Mr.. Henderson. who now accepts Mr..
Bryan, is the stronger of the two. Mr..
Henderson declares that two-thirds of the
Kansas City convention were opposed to
free silver, and that instructed by that
fact Mr.. Bryan If elected would not try
to reverse or overrule the settled convic-
tons of his party Mr.. Henderson's fig
ures are far too high, but accepting them
for the arguments sake, why did Mr.. Bry-
an put himself at the head of third OF
the convention and force a specific demand
for free coinage at 16 to l into the plat
form? Was it not for the purpose OF cap
turing silver votes?
And what does Mr. Henderson mean by
the settled convictions of Mr.. Bryan's
"party?" Mr.. Bryan is not alone the can
didate of the democratic party. He was
first nominated by the populists, then by
the democrats. and then by the silver
republicans. If elected President his poll
cies must reflect the principles of all three
of those organizations. Mr.. Bryan's party
is fusion party, and will Mr.. Henderson
seriously insist that the Settled convic-
tons of that party are against free sill
yer? And after soliciting and accepting
the votes of populists silver republicans
and one-third of the democratic party on
the silver issue, would Mr.. Bryan In the
White House deliberately shelve silver?
Not much.

Warmly Appreciatiye.

See the melting sunset exclaimed the
poetic young woman; "see how the crystal
unts seem to be stolen from the rainbow
mist and hung boldly over the mountain,
like banners OF beauty, only to fade, alas,
with the dying daylight
II beg your pardon said the young man
with close-cut hair, but would you mind
saying all that again?'
DO you think it so very pretty?'
II should say SO! I'm going to write 1t
down. Melting sunset crystal tints,
rainbow mist dying daylight'-they' re
great! You see I'm going TO run an Amer
lean bar in Europe, and I've been puzzled
almost to death trying to think up new
names for mixed drinks"

many Hall and Reform.

Bird S. Coler Is accounted by many OF his
admirers the most promising democrat in
the state of New York. He is a young man
of excellent social and business connections,
is filling the office of comptroller of Greater
New York most acceptably to the business
men of both parties, and is being groomed
for the gubernatorial nomination OF his
party on the strength Of his official record.
For a time he expressed Discrimination to
remain in politics on account of the press
ure of private affairs; but he has changed
his mind on that point and is now in the
hands CT his friends, and they believe that
If they can secure his nomination victory
at the polls Is certain.
Mr. Coler is reformer. He insists that
there is too much "commercialism In poll
ties" that many men seek political office
for no other purpose than to trade upon
the influence and the opportunities afforded
by public station. Such as these, when
elected to Office, proceed to fill their own
pockets. and have that end In view much
more than serving the people. This. Mr..
Coler points out, is at once scandal and
a source of danger to public interests, and
he offers himself to lead movement for
its correction.
Tammany Hall is opposed to Mr. Coler,
office by Tamma ny, and his present attitude
Is the result OF his observations of the way
in which Tammany does business. The
average Tammanyite in office considers that
he serves the people best when he serves
himself first. and he lives up to that con-
cepton Of things. Tammany therefore re-
CARDS Mr. Coler as being both an migrate
and traducer, and II Mr.. Croker can pre-
vent it Mr. Coler will not head the demo-
cratic state ticket In New York this year.
But suppose Mr.. Croker cannot help it.
Suppose Mr.. Coier secures the nomination,
and Tammany Is forced to support him.
He would not Of course stand the ghost Of
a chance without Tammany's support, and
II he should be elected governor with
that support he would owe his place
and power TO the organization whose
practices he reprobates. Would he turn
then upon those who had sent him to AL
bany7 Would he blacklist the men whose
support at the polls he had solicited and
accepted?
Mr.. Colers principles are admirable but
he would find that a reformer in office has
but small opportunities for usefulness un-
less he has reform party behind him.

Use of Chemicals In Milk.
From the Philadelphia Press.

charges against dairymen of using a pre-
servative to keep their milk from becoming
sour seemed inclined to believe the chemi-
calls harmless. He was asked by the prose-
cutting attorney If he would drink some Of
the milk. and he promptly did SO. and adj
journed the court to see the effect. But he
was too sick at the stomach to attend court
next day. Another magistrate acted for
him and punished all of the dairymen who
had admitted that they used the preserva-
tive in their milk. 1t was the same con-
coction that dairymen have been caught
using around New York and Philadelphia.
Feeding infants on such milk In hot
weather. or any other time, is almost cer-

inadequate for a crime of that kind

Rocking Pillars.
From the Chicago Journal.

When we read and reread that inspired
document known as the Kansas City plat
form, we confess that we fear for our
country, and see nothing but blue ruin
ahead. But we pluck up courage again
when we turn to the democratic platform
Of 1868 which solemnly declared:
Under its the republican party's) re-
peated assaults, the pillars Of the govern
ment are rocking on their base, and should
1t succeed in November next and inaugu-
rate its President, we will meet as sub
jected and conquered people, amid the
ruins of liberty and the scattered frag-
ments of the Constitution"
1t would appear that rocking on their
bases is favorite practice with the pill
lars Of the government.

Rejecting and Accepting Mr.. Brxan

Senator Stewart of Nevada believes that
Mr.. Bryan is right on the silver question
buy wrong on the question of imperialism
He supported him four years ago on silver
but rejects him now that Mr.. Bryan has
put for the occasion Imperialism in front Of
silver. He doubts his loyalty as TO silver,
and his wisdom as to Imperialism. He re-
CARDS him now only as a candidate for the
presidency studying merely the chances of
success.
Ex-senator Henderson of Missouri be-
Heves that Mr.. Bryan Is wrong on the sill
